they know the worth and greatness Of

that Grant is either knave or fool.

O'clock the steamer Morning Star, Of
the Cleveland and Detriot line, loosed
from her moorings and started on her
trip, to Detroit She, had on board
thirty-three passengers, and was loaded
with eighty tons of iron and small
quantity of miscellaneous freight The
night was dark, the wind nearly ahead,
blowing freshly, and there was pretty
heavy sea. The steamboat proceeded
rather slowly on these accounts. Sew
eral white lights were observed, indicat-
ing that other vessels were sailing in
the same direction, but aside from these
nothing could be seen. Late in the
evening the atmosphere became heavy
and the ram commenced to fall One
by one the passengers retired for the
night, until only two or three were left
on deck. Upon the hurricane deck
were the Captain, two pilots and four
Watchmen, one at each corner of the
pilot house. All peering into the mist
and darkness, watching for lights and
ready to give alarm at the first suspic-

No one who has not witnessed SIM
liar occurrence can imagine the hor-
rors of such a moment. The dreadful
shock woke everybody, and all rushed
from their iberths with nerves unstrung
by fright, ignorant of what had hap
Pened. In a few minutes one of the
mates came Up from the hold and re-
ported that the steamer was rapidly fill
ing with water. Then all was dire con-
fusion. A frightful death stared each
other in the face. Women and chill
dren filed the air with heart-rending
shrieks. Men, women and children
rushed frsntically about grasping life
preservers, chairs, and whatever could
be found upon which they could float,
and prepared to consign themselves to
the wildly rolling waters.
With all possible speed the life boats
were made ready. So quickly did the
steamer sink, however, that ere they
could be launched and loaded, the low
er portion of the steamer sunk in about
ten fathoms of water, carrying with it
few who had not reached the upper
deck. Among these unfortunates were
some ladies and children who had been
advised to remain in their state-rooms,
as there was no danger. Fortunately,
the hurricane deck parted from the rest
of the steamer and formed a float, upon
which most of thoseon board were con.
gregated.. The wheel chains, running
from the pilot house to the rudder, re-
manned fast, and the sunken part served
as an anchor, whichprevented the deck
from drifting away. The life boats
were. hauled upon this deck and filled
with as many as would get in, large
number prefering to remain on the deck
and take the chances of being rescued,
others choosing to venture upon the
lake with life preservers and boxes,
rather than risk being swamped in an
overloaded boat One of these boats
under command of a mate, put off with
twenty-five souls and made for the Ohio
shore, The other kept in the vicinity
of the wreck until help arrived. All
of this happened in a short period of
time, the 'sMorning Star" having sunk
in few minutes from the moment of
collision, ae4 -6rrE al d

A Democratic Opinion of our Ticket.
Col. Halpine (''Miles O'Reily") editor OF
the New York Citizen, represents the war
Democrats of New York, and he expresses
the following candid opinion of the ticket
nominated at Chicago: ,r-.
"Grant and Colfa1 make a ticket hard to
beat. The wonderful military success of
the one and the great political ability of the
other cannot be written down or belittled by
newspaper editors; and the attempt to do SO
| is folly only worthy of the late manage
ment of the Democratic party. The hero of
Donelson, Oorinth, most wonderful of all
| of Vicksburg, and finally of Richmond, is
not third-rate general, and no literary
scribe can make him one. The gentleman
who has worked his wav up to the Speaker
ship of the house Of Representatives is not
bad politician, and those who buy him
for one will not make a profitable bargain.
Probably there are no two leading names
stronger, individually or collectively, than
the two which have been put forward
And if they do not receive the support of
the people, it will be from other than per-
sonal reasons. @ IN:
After saying that the Republican plat
form is conveniently indefinite" and
stronger in what it omits than what it as
serts, "the Citizen adds: .8is'
Do the'Democrats imagine that they can
defeat such candidates with any man who
only represents section, and pitiful sec
tion, loo, of their party? Has "copper"
headism ever yet defeated loyalty? Can
Pendleton overcome Grant? 1t has been
cur boast that there were more Democratic
than Republican soldiers in the ranks of
the loyal armies. VIII these men fight one
way and vote anotherf Having whipped
the enemy in the field will they vote him
the victory in the council? The leaders
who think so must be "Old line Wings
those most hopeless of political .drivelers
Can we go into this fight against the glories
of Vicksburg, Donnelson, Apomatox Court
House, and thousand other famous fields,
with "peace at any price" and "the war a
failule, - inscribed on our banueasf To win,
at all, we want.all our strength and all our
ability. We must have the Conservative
vote, we must win the soldiers, the million
of ibayonets which have not yet stopped
thinking. There is but one candidate who
can promise US the hopes of success who has
not yet been presented to the public, and
that man is Winfield Scott Hancock.
What do PENDLEroN's friends in Ohio
think of such wicked soldier talk? '''

settled under water, and only the stern
was out. Mr.. Chase climbed down TO
the lower deck, and jumped from there
into the water, telling the others to fol-
low him. When he came up, he found
the rest in the water The two Misses
Patchen were near him. He thinks
that gentleman near by secured dry
goods box and placed Miss Carrie
Patchen on It, soon after the vessel
went down. The Star sunk about
fifteen or twenty minutes after she
struck the Cortlandt. About half an
hour after they were in the water he
found door floating, which he gave
to Miss Minnie Patchen. When the
boat sank it created an eddy which
separated those floating in the water.
He, however, kept near to Miss Minnie
Patchen until about an hour after the
boat sank, when high wind and waves
arose and he was separated from her.
The water became intensely cold, and
Mr.. Chase thinks the young ladies lost
consciousness very soon and were
drowned. He finally found in the water
a piece of the deck of the vessel, and
was supported by it until rescued by
life-boat from the R. N. Rice. The
young ladies, from the first to the, last
behaved with remarkable GOODNESS and
and uttered no word of COM
plant. They said very little after go
ing into the water. Mr.. Chase deserves
much credit for his own coolness and
the efforts which he made to preserve
the lives of the two Misses Patchen.1
