COLLISION AT $EA-FORTY LIVES
LOST,

The q nited States steam transport CITY
OF Bath, Capt. Lincoln. laden with stores
for the Government. sailed from New York
for Washington %. G at IL O'Clock in the
morning of the 1st instant, and at about
midnight, when near Cape May, came into
collision with the transport steamer Poca-
hoDtas, on her passage from New Orleans to
New York. The latter vessel sunk il
twenty-five minutes carrying down nearly
forty OF her passengers and crew. The
CITY of Bath had her bows stove in and her
stern carried away, causing her to to leak
badly, which was stopped by throwing over
board part of her cargo.
The Pocahontas was a screw-steamer, OF
about 800 tons comman dsd by Jno Baxter
and sailed from New Orleans on he 24,h
of May, with one hundred souls on board.
The passengers lost were soldiers discharged
or Cd furlough. The Pocahontas was struck
on the stdrboard side, just abaft the fore
rigging. The two captains soon discovered
that the vessel was sinking. The boats
were lowered aud the engines stopped. Tae
two vessels remained humping each other
for a fe~ minutes, and then separated Oue
of three boats during the excitement was
swan ped, and the other two did what they
could to save the persons already ahoat.-
Planks aud ladders and lite preservers were
thrown overheard, but the ssa was Ugh,
and wind fresh which caused many of the
poor fellows to sink into watery grave
Captain Lincoln lay by the place until day
light but was then email cd to add only one
to the number picked up during, the night.
The City of Bath then returned to New
York with the survivors, who had lost ev-
cry thing but their lives.

The Situation.

Our readers will find in our colsmus this
week, as usual, our carefully condensed &C
count of military operations since our last
issue. They are very brief and simple
The two armies were maneuvering for new
lines of battle consequent upon Gen. GRANTS
change of base to the York River. Several
com paratively unim portant engagements oc :.
Cured during these movements Some OF
them would formerly have been considered
severe battles, but in view Of the present gi-
gantic operations. may be looked upon IN
the light of skirmishes. On Friday. the I'D
inst, however Gen. Grant had so far Sc
cured his position that he determ ined to
make bold assault upon Gen. Lee, IN or
der to force the passage of the Chicka
homipy. OF the result of this effort, we
give what the Daily Times. the organ OF
Mr. Lincoln in this city, says:-
1.-THE battle of Friday last was much
more serious affair, both in its original con-
ception, its actual character and its final
consequences than we had been led to be-
lieve from the brief dispatches heretofore
given to the public. THE INTENTION REAL
LY WAS THAT 1T SHOULD BE THE DECISIVE
BATTLE OF THE CAMPAIGN. The movements
OF the preceding days, eliminating in the
possession of Cold Harbor-an important
strategic pont-had drawn our lines close
in front OF the Chickahominy. and reduced
the IN ilitary problem to the forcing OF the
passage OF that rivera problem which, If
solved in our favor, would decide whether
Richmond could be carried by coup de
main, i. decisive Glory should attend our
arms. or whether operations would settle
down to a siege in form. The GREAT
STRUGGLE DID NOT RESULT IN A SUCCESS;
AND THOUGH THE ENEMY's LINES WERE CAR
RED AND TEMPORARILY HELD AT TWO I'M .
PuRTANT POINTS OUR AssAULTING COLUMNS
WERE FINALLY CnMPELLED To ABANDON
THEM. Probably no action so important in
it's character was ever crowded Into so brief
space of time-TEN TERRIBLE MINUTES n
the early dawn developed on the part Of the
enemy such strength both of position and
force as to carry conviction tina any victory
that could be achieved would be purchased
at too great a cost. All that matchless
valor directed by consummate skill could
do, was done; but it was in vain"
1t thus seems that the battle. intends to
be "the decisive one Of the campaign" was
failure on Gen. Grants part; and in these
ten terrible minutes some seven thousand
men were placed hors du conabqH When
will such slaughter cease? There have
been no movements of Importance since.
The news from Gen. Sherman is, that he
is now near Marietta, Geo., still pursuing
Gen. Johnston. Some severe fighting has
taken place. The southern papers seem
confident of their ability to whip him
when Johnston, as they say, ge's m W ere
he wants him. That place must Q near at
hand, or else Sherman must be 10 Atlanta
There is nothing of importance from Gen.
Butler.

Shocking Calamity.
BAoHELoR,s CREEK. N. G.

BAoHELoR's CREEK, N. @.
At four O'Clock yesterday afternoon, on
the arrival Of the train at this station from
Newburn, a terrible explosion attended the
removal of four torpedoes from the cars to
the platform. Forty odd soldiers and ne
groes were blown into eternity in an instant,
while between 20 aud 80 persons, white
and black, were wounded and maHgled in a
manner frightful to behold.
The train which left Newbern at o.
clock 10 the afternoon brought to the out
posts the remaining four of thirteen torpe-
does Of monstrous weight and and proper
tions. intended to complete the blockade of
the Neuse river in the direction of Kinston.
The last of the four was about reaching the
station platfosm when an accidental blow,
from a log of wood striking upon the cap,
exploded the torpedo. The conclusion
was so great that the other three followed
on the explosion of the first, aud so quick
as to make but one mighty report, like the
crash of a thousand pieces of artillery fired
simultaneously.
The disaster was one Of the most sppall-
ing and heartrending that has happened in
this country in a series of years Soldiers
whose gallantry had been displayed on bat
tlefelds, and whose eagerness to hear from
their brave comrades in Virginia had bot
them clustering around the station, were
hurled, maDgled aud torn, into eternity at
moments time. Heads, bodies, and
limbs were scattered for quarter of mile
around, and in many instances it was found
impossible to recognize the remains of the
unfortunate victims.
The killed and wounded of the CONTRA
bands will number between twenty and
twenty Eve.
This sad accident, entailing such fearful
has cast gloom over the
soldiers of the outposts which will require |
a long time for them fully to overcome. A |
number OF the wounded of the One Hundred /
aud Thirty second New York are badly
mansled, aud will probably die. Every |
thing, however, that care and skill can &C
com plish will be done to save life and ease
he suffering of these unfortunate soldiers.

st is impossible says the Boston Courier,
TO converse ten minutes with an average
abolitonist withou being satisfied that his
ruling passion is not love Of liberty, or even
of the negro. but hatred. dire, malignant,
unrelenting hatred to th g Southern people.
To ruin the objects of his mad rage, be is
willing to sacrifice every interest of the
country, to demoraize its population, see
its best blood shsd in civil strife, and its
best blood shed in civil strife, and its whole
future mortgaged in irretrievable debt. Re-
ligiou, honor, patriotism-all are swallow
ed up in his blind passion and hatred of his
own country men,
To which the Louisville Journal adds
that the painful truth so wildly set forth
by the Courier is exempIified as fully in
Louisville as it is in Boston, the Kentucky
abolitonists being the worst of the two.
