Editor the following information
WASHINGTON, October 10.-The President has
just sent in to the Attorney-General the follow
ing questions, and requested that response to
them be returned in writing, in the Welsh
language
First. The names of the different States
(spelled out in full) that have given Democratic
majorities, and in favor of ''My Policy" also,
the official figures of such majorities?
Secondly. As to the exact whereabouts of my
old friend Raymond, and whether he has re-
covered from his distemper occasioned by being
poisoned by noxious Weed?
Thirdly. Whether, in the event of my death,
my!neXt of KIN will be entitled to my Life Insu-
rance in case the clerks of the Company have,
from want OF time or other causes, been 'unable
to made out my Policy"
Fourthly. Whether, in the event of my lot
being reelected, the Constitution could ever be
recovered after my having left it in so many
peoples hands during my late trip to Chicago?
Filthy. Whether the Philadelphia Post Office
and indeed all others in that State, are clear Of
the radicals; and if they are, why my friend
Clymer has not sent me the official election
returns of his State?
SiXthly. When will be the election for Mayor
in Philadelphia and do the citizens intend ever
to have Mayor, or are they going to dispense
with one, as heretofore?
Seventhy. Whether the Constitution of Jeffer
son Davis suffers by being left in Fortress Mon.
roe, and whether it would be safe to leave it in
the hands of Judge Underwood?
Eighthly, Do you think it would be Congress
such as the Constitution requires without any
Democrats in it, and if the next Congress should
assemble without Democrat, would it be safe to
leave myself in their hands?
Upon the reply that may be made by the At
torney-General to the above, the President Will
take his stand, and break it all to pieces, in.

OF THE ''MAN AT THE WHEBL''
The heavy storm that passed over Pennsyl-
yauia. Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa last Tues
day, had a very damaging effect on the various
Craft that were caught out in 1t. Heavy Otoon9
was observable from all points of the compass
several days before the storm, and CLOUDS seemed
to be gathering on the horizon. On the morning
of Tuesday the sun rose bright as usual, but be-
fore noon it was evident that the bark NY Poacy,
Captain Andrew johnson, would either 60 under
or else be dashed to pieces on the breakers. The
pumps were worked vigorously all day long,
under the supervision of First Mate Randall and
Purser McCulloch. The bilge was attempted
to be kept clear by Clymer and the other deck
hands, but Notwithstanding their most vigorous
efforts, the waves so overwhelmed them as to
continually keep them under water and before
six o'clock that night the craft went down with
all on board.
The My Policy was very badly rugged, and
ranked l, and was copper fastened throughout
She was condemned as unseaworthy by the
Government inspectors in the fore part of last
summer, and should have been laid up then, but

standing her leaking badly in every trip she
made; and came near laundering IN her last trip
to Chicago and back, last September. She
would nave done so, had 1t not been Tor the
efforts of Seward and Grant, the carpenter and
gunner, who hre,0 oUe,bodrd everything in order
to tighten her, and keep her leak above the
water. She last spring ran against the old Tug
Thad. SteUenS, and got such knock right be-
tween loind and sodter that it took careful trim
ming of the vessel, when under sail, to keep her
aHoat; in fact, the carpenter had been kept to
work day and night upon her ever since the ac-
cldent and he believed, we think, that she
would never be made tight or much of a vessel
with all the repairing he could put ON her.
Although a comparatively new vessel, her main
tmbers toere rotten, and she had 1ceak knees, con
sequenty it was impossible for her to carry the
sail that the captain continually insisted upon
Crowdng upon her. The underwriters, we under
stand, had not made out her policy at the time
she went down, consequently she is a total loss
which falls mostly upon the captain, who was
her principal owner.
The My Policy was built and launched al
Washington, d. c., last April, and has had {
very stormy time OF iteyer since. At the layinl

OF the keel last March, the Secretary Of the
Navy was not invited to be present, the captain
not being able to remember his name. Another
incident that happened at her launching seemed
to be the forerunner of misfortune TO the craft.
As they were knocking away the scaffolding
around her, preparatory to her launch, Freed
mans Bill was killed outright, and several of
his co-laborers severely wounded.
The captain has made several trips, but none of
them have proved profitable to him. The first
accident to the Ay Policy was, as before
noticed, running into the tug Thad. SteUenS,
and after that, on a little pleasure excursion
with a party Of the captains friends on the
22d of February, when she was caught in
little squall, which carried away her figure
head Ia "duck"), also her forestry and main
mast. This accident happened by the party being
a little jolly, and Philadelphia pilot by the
name of Tom Florence being at the wheel,
whose experience in navigating so large craft
was very limited Putting into Port, they re-
paired the craft as well as they could throwing
the ''duck" ooerb oard and getting the carpenter
TO rig up a jury mast, the invention of Mr..
Stanbery, and she has sailed ever since with that
imperfect RIG. She was always "down by the
head" as the sailors have it, and steered very
"wide," paying but little attention to her helm
during bloao. The captain did better laying
in Port than when under weigh. Her model
was entirely original, with too much of the
Rake" about her, and experienced nautical
men, such as stanton, Chase, Harlan, and
others, always predicted that, whatever
she might do in fair weather, she would
never live in a storm, and the second
Tuesday in October storms were looked for by
many as resulting in the total wreck of the
craft, unless the captain would discharge his
crew and dismante the ship. But advice not
being needed, the result Is as we lay before our
readers to-day. Perhaps no craft that was ever
built was ever run by any man against such
overwhelming testimony, by competent judges,
as 10 its utter unworthiness. And although
1oeli proUisioned, and manned by picked men,
and experienced ones, such as Randall, first
mate, Seward, carpenter, Stanberry, rigger,
Raymond, sailmaker, Welles, captain of the
foretop, and others before the mast, she went
down in spite of the best management, from the
sole cause that she was rotten and unworthy.
We hope no more shallops of that bui.d will
ever again spread sail in these waters.
