slnk.ng of the evening star.

.a- s "a
Of all the disasters that life is subjected to, we
donbtif any has SO many elements Of theterrible-
which is more overwhelming or sudden-than that
Of the laundering Of first class steamship at sea.
The vision which ali dayyesterday haunted every
imagination was Of three huudredGpassengers, a
large portion of them of'the weaker sex, and M
accustomed to scenes of danger or terror, com
PEELED to look death in the face far from the
friends they had hoped to see. It was one of those
scenes ofhorror which have, over and over again,
been described BY writer's of the highest genius,
and of which, when the facts come to be known,
will probably be similar to those with which the
public are already familiar. Nevertheless, the
manner in which any of the human family meet
death viii ever present an interest which sur
passes any other, and the public await with a
feyerish Impotence every telegram which adds
anything totour present information. In addition
to what we have already published, we have
been enabled to gather the following:
The steamship Evening Star was two hundred
andninety feet in length, forty-two feet broad,
and in depth of hold thirty feet. During one of
her trips last year she had encountered severe
gale, and met with a slight misfortune on a reef
off the Florida coast, but the divers who exam
ined her did not report any serious injury. There
isno question as to the elegant manner in which
she was fitted ont, or of the general popularity of
the steamship apart from its sea worthy qualities.
She was Of, 2t0O tons burden, had been three
years and a-haH in service, and next to the Gui-
ding Star and Morning Star, was thelargest steam
ship of the ten employedin the Star line. Il may
be because the world is prone to utter predictions
after an event has taken place, but if any atten-
ton is to be paid to what is now said Of the mat
ter, six months ago she was, by some, regarded
with distrust The fact that any of the boats es-
capped OF all would at first blush argue that twas
not blowing a gale at the time she went down.
though the fact is otherwise stated in the tele-
grams and that more passengers did not eseape
goes to show that she must have gone down sud.
denly, The report that certain insurance oompa-
nies had refused to take risks upon her less than
three per cent. is eontradicted. At the time she
went down the telegraph announces she was not
insured at all.
The opera troupe which was on board num-,
bered sixty persons, among whom, with one ex-
eeption, were NIL that remained OF the Alfalfa
family. Mr.. Maroelin Alhaiza and his father died
recently in Paris; the mother had preceded them
few months before.1 Upon the Inflated vessel
there were fge, director indirect members Of the
same family as we are informed, at the time she
went down. OF the whole troupe not one Is
known to have escaped.
of the Academy of Music troupe Mr. Frank
Gerard is alone known to have escaped.

tits yet unknown precisely how many per-
sons were saved from the Evening Star but
what is known is that the number is lamenta-
bly, small The reports which have reached
us induce us to believe that twenty-seven per-
sons at least have escaped but this is al
number siekeningly small when compared
with'the host who must have gone down with
the ill-fated vessel, or been swallowed up after
a short and despairing struggle against the
waters. Sixteen persons are known to have
arrived at Savannah, and eleven at Fernan-
dina, after enduring the terrible suherings of
q voyage Of five days, and a hundred and
eighty miles in open boats. The ship had,
50 it is stated, six boats, each capable of con-
tanning about fifty persons but one lett the
vessel with only eighteen, and another with
only ten. The final disaster was probably SO
sudden, or the elemental commotion 50 great,
that the passengers could not all avail them
selves of even this remote chance of escape.
Still it is possible that other boats may yet
reach the coast in safety, and that other lives
may have been saved. at least let us hope
that there is this joy in store for some of the
StA ktltu tGAlilS uSRtk6S haAGu thE6 AOW t1nOp-
bing in the agony of grief.
This calamity is SO great, and so unex-
pected, that we have scarcely yet had time to
realize its magnitude To hear that more
than two hundred persons have been made
the prey Of the relentless sea is at all times
sad enough, and is sure to excite a thrill Of
horror; but when these persons are our own
friends, some Of them our relations, all of
them persons who have had association, OF
who were to establish associations with us, it
takes some little time before we. can persuade
ourselves that the horridI tale is really true.
But the truth comes upon US at last. The
noble ship, the ship in which SO many hopes
were centred, which was the object of so
many bright anhcipations, has indeed per
ished. Hearts are made sad for many a
weary year and hearths which were SO soon
to welcome the returning loved ones, have
been made desolate, perhaps, forever. And
what can be said, what can be done to as
snage the grief which has. thus oyertaken SO
many Of our frientls2 Nothing! The decree
of Providence must be met with gentle sub
mission, and with the, hope that those vino
sleep beneath the Atlantic will awake in a
brighter and a better sphere. 10 those who
have met bereavement by this calamity, we
tender our heartfelt sympathy. 20 offer any
further consolation would be but the mockery
Of woe.

buy off the radical party, would only bring
them on us the sooner. By adopting this
course we should disarm our friends, demo-
ralize the party Of public liberty, and assist in
perpetuating system of repression and inter-
ference which is only another form Of CONSOLE
dation and despotism. If the radicals carry
their points by our aid we shall have no longer
any moral force. If they carry them in spite
of our earnest protests, and by the mere power
of sectional majority, we may hope for a
time when public opinion will aid US in over
throwing the party of despotism, and in re-
storing the country to its place in the path Of
true republican and democratic progress.

matte, lyric and ballet troupes, and the numbers Of
persons of ill-fame who the New York papers say
were on board, the final exhibition OF the gener-
GUS and bad qualities must have equaled those
ever presented upon any real or mimic stage. In
the similar loss of the steamship London it is
stated that the passengers, when it was announced
that death was inevitable, remained motionless
and silent, until the vessel commenced sinking, at
which time a dreadful cry from every one. now
crowded upon the deck, was heard by the few
who escaped in boat
If events ever occur in the same manner twice,
the sinking of the Evening Star may have re-
sembled that of the former vessel.
Let US hope, in conclusion, that when all the
facts Of the disaster come to be known, the sus-
Spicon which now prevails to some extent, that a
portion of the crew sacrificed the women on board,
to save themselves, may be entirely removed.

THE NoRTHERN INJECTIONS.

4 Elections took place yesterday in several of
the Northern States. At the time of writing
we do not know the result; but our Geographic
column doubtless contains information from
which the tendency Of the current Of Northern
public opinion may be estimated with sufficient
accuracy. As the votes have already been
cast and the complexion of the next Congress
probably determined, speculation would be
entirely vain. It is useless, however, to
disguise the fact that if the elections turn out
fayorably for President Johnson's policy, and
the constitutional reconstruction of the Union,
the people of the South will be agreeably dis
appointed. Symptoms which cannot fail to
be correct index of public sentiment
indicate that some influence or another has
been at work to thwart the wise policy of the
President and to delay the return Of the sway
of reason. The temper Of the radicals has.
become more fierce and yindictiye than ever !;
the congressional programme, unjust as it is,
is denounced as entirely too mild; the adj
yaneed exponents of radical opinion declare
that the South must be punished for past
RIGHTEOUSNESS, and that the Southern States
shall not be g Reconstructed except under
the dictation Of a Congress representing the
extreme Of radical antagonism toSouthern
society 1t is scarcely probable that these
ultra opinions would have been proclaimed in.
the face IF al opposing public opinion. The
mask by which Congress was to hide tile real
designs of radiealism would not have been so
quickly thrown off had the radical leaders not
been confident Of popular support. Indeed,
all that we see in the Republican Journals and
all that we hear from the Republican orators,
indicates on their part d superabounding and
triumphant confidence in the result Of the
elections.
They evidently rely on the effect of the
caIumnies which they have 50 assiduously
propagated in regard to the South. They
believe that the appeals which they. have
made to Northern ambition, and their forts
to re-infiame the sectional and vindictiye pas
sions of the people, have wrought the in
tended object. Perhaps they are right At
all events, they think they are right And
what then? What is the South to do in case
the Northern elections demonstrate that the
next Congress- will be as radical -perhaps
more radical than the last? What can she
do2 She can Do one Of two things. She-can
hasten 70 ratify the constitutional amendment,
and thus make e bid for representationin the
United States Congress, or she can maintain
an attitude Of peaceful moral resistance to the
demands and conditions which the Republic
can party may impose on her We have 81
ready shown that BY ratifying the eonstitu-
tional amendment the South will gain moth
inlg--not even the restricted representation
which the amendment implies but that, on
theseontfary, she will sanction by her adhe-
sion that pernlcious system of interference
and repression against which her persistent
protest Is me only oarEler. The amendment
