TIE CAPTAIN.
Captain G. p. Marshman, the com.
mander Of the Raleigh, Is well known
in Charleston, and was for somo time
master Of the steamship keystone State,
running between this port and Phla.
delphia. He had been IA ship master
for over twenty years, and no man on
the coast bore higher reputation for
seamanship and thorough knowledge of
his profession. Captain Marshman was
about fifty years of age, bu, still IN the
prime Of his health, strength and abili
ty.
When last seen Captain Marshmon
was near the whcel-housc OF the Raj
elgh, apparently attending to the wants
OF some ofthosc who were still on the
vessel. The Raleigh had. in all, six
boats of the best description, and it Is
hoped that one or more Of those left
uncovered may have been able to reach
the land. Captain Marshman will, it is
earnestly hoped, be saved bnt, what.
ever his fate, it may be said OF him that,
like true sailor, he stuck to his ship to
the last.
The Fairfield herald. [volume] (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1849-1876, 1868-01-01
THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE.

This is unknown, but it. Is supposed
thatit originated IN the over heating of
the boiler, and the consequent ignition
of the wooden bulkheads. The Raleigh
bad aboard a moderate freight Of gene.
raj merchandise, and, as several explu-
sions were head after the ship had been
burning for somo time, it is snrmised
that explosive compounds formed part
OF her cargo.

TIE D1oMED SHIP.

The Raleigh belonged to The Allan
tic Coast Mail Steamship line, was built
at Greenpoint, ILL.,, in 1865, and was
S6S tons burhcn. She was in every
way a staunch and sea.wortby vessel.

not, but one of the boats repn&ts that III"
It Ilection Of the flames was seen until
about eleven O'clock Tuesday night
when it suddenly disappeared Even
if the Raleigh sank at this hour, Cap
tain Marshman would have had abun.
dant time to get out another boat or
rig up raft, and this would have been
made easier by the fact that tho sea
tell alter the sun went down.

y3passengers three Of whom were
ladies, making in all fGy.ninc persons.
As the Raleigh steamed down the
ha45or there was no thought Of dan

between them and eternity there was
nothing but few inches of wood, and
that II fiery monster lay in the hold,
who, though ironed down to the service
ofman. might at any time assert its
mastery and avenge i'll an hour the
constraint and bondage Of years.
No incident of anv momen: occurred
on Saturday or Monday, but at about
twenty miles southeast Of the Charles
ton light ship the passengers and crew
were awakened from their fanccd secu-
rity, and the cry arose that the ship was
on fire.
A FIRE AT SEA.
a stiff breeze was blowing from the
north, and when the alarm was gwen,
and it was known that the fire had bro.

boiler, there was a panic amongst tho
passengers. Men and women ran hur-
Sriedly to and fro shricking for deliver.

This did lot last long. Captain Marsh.

When Purscr McMannus was ready
to leave the ship with hIs boat, he jump.
cd overheard, having previously in
structed his wife to do the same. When
he had made lhc leap, he called out to
his wife tOjump off, which she did with.
oat hesitation, unfortunately however
some portion Of her dress caught in the
gaEgway, and she hung suspended for
some minutes, being alternately plung~
ed IN the water and tossed in the air, as
the vessel rolled from starboard to port.
Captain Marshman, who was watching
the scene, with acute interest. shouted
out to The Purscr "For Gods sake save
her" Help was obtained. Mrs. Nc.
Mannns was enabled to let herself down
into the sea, anu was safely put aboard

Virginia Lands.

The New York .Meycantile Journal says
that ''Viaginia lands are looming up in the
market. The party Of Pennsylvania capital
lists, who went through the Old Dominion last
year, made known to the country some of the
advantages to be derived from colonization
there, and now a company Of German gentle
men have returned from still longer and more

the soil, climate, scenery and agricultural and
mineral resources of Virginia This has set

Maryland and Virginia to the mountains Of
North Carolina When our Northern soldiers
passed along in the vicinity Of Baltimore and
Harpers Ferry in the spring of 1861, at the
outbreak ofthc war, they called it the Promis-
ed Land, so impressed were they by its match

Flourishipe Schools in stanton.

We are glad to find the impetus given to
education in our State. and that in some Sec
tions at least, more scholars are offered than
there is room to receive. We learn that this
is the case in Staunton. The correspondent
of the Petersburg Express writes that not
only are all the female schools in Staunton
full, but many applicants had to be reluctant
ly turned off for want Of accommodations
The same correspondent furnishes the follow
ing details
The Wesleyan Female Institute, of which
Rev w A. Harris is President, has register
ed 70 boarding pupils, with a like number of
day scholars. The Augusta Female Semina-
ry, Presbyterian, Miss Mary Baldwin, prin-
cipal, has so boarders and 50 day pupils =
The Virginia Female Institute, (Episcopa-
lian), Rev. r. r. IT. Phillips, principal, re-
fused, I.u understand, 40 pupils, for want Of
accommodation. The capacity Of Mr.. Phil
lips institute, before the late "unpleasant-
ness" approximated to eighty boarders and
about. one hundred day pupils. The Staun-
ton Male Academy, Messrs. Young and May,
principals, tlthe latter formerly of Petersburg
have registered ~ scholars. The old estab-
lished schoo! of Pike Powers, Esq, famous
as a University school for youths, has thirty
pupils, about as many as that erudite gentle
man can well attend to, and do justice to his
scholarly abilities. To.b be brief with this
notice, is there any other town or city in the
United States, so-called, that had to reject
pupils on account of being overfowing full
