HAvRE, Jan. 2S.- Steamship Peirere, Capt
Duehesue, sailed from Havre Friday, 18th. fol
New York, touching at Brest, which port she
|, # the day following, 18th. She experienced
,evere head winds and heavy weather almost
from the start. The storm increased in vic.
ence until when five days out from Brest ii
became furious gale, which threatened che
destruction of the ship. Heavy seas broke
over her, carrying away entirely the forward
Geek, cabin, dining saloon for second class pas
sengers, deluging the engine room and par
tally lsabling the ship. The storm caused
the vessel to lurch tremendously. Passengers
and crew were thrown from place to place fI-
riously. The loss of life and injury to persons
on board is attributed to this cause only. On
the I'd, the Peirere shipped an immense sea,
estimated at 1000 tons, which completely filled
the cabin, and killed one of the passengers
outright The storm coming from the west,
and Capt. Duehesue doubtful of his ability to
successfully ride it ought, thought it prudent
to put his vessel about, which was done, and
she arrived safely at Havre the 18th Three of
the crew and three second class passengers
were killed. Many others were injured. -
All are now doing well. 20 - - !. ? ?
Callaghan, a Catholic Priest, Fou1ouier. a

The Result.

The vote in this county and elsewhere, so far
as heard from, indicates that the Democracy are
again triumphant beyond their most sanguine
expectations. Several years of constant defeat
seems to have taught them caution in their cal
culations this fall, while the Union party, on the
other hand, may have been over confident. Ger
tain it is that both parties are alike astonished
at the result. We do not propose at this time to
discuss the causes corspiring to bring it about,
but in view of the fact that the flood gates of
Democratic enthusiasm will be thrown open,
we say to those Republicans who are so from
principle, do not be cast down, indulge in
gloomy antcipations of the future. All the De-
mocracy want is plenty of rope, and they
tainly seem to have it now. The fable Of two
thieves quarreling donkey while a third
one rode it away is forcibly exemplifed in the
history of all political parties in this State.
The political axiom that 90 to the victors belong
the spols,'' has been generally accepted, and
when the spoils are won their distribution al
most always leads to dessension. The dissats-
faction arising from this cause alone will, after
time, be sure to defeat any party, no matter
how strong and popular it may be in the outset,
if the Offices sought for are profitable The un-
fortunate split of 1861 upon Gorbam was type
upon large scale of what has taken place in
every Republican county in the State over local
nominees. We say, therefore, that the votes cast
at the fall elections do not fairly show change
of political sentiment based entirely upon prin
ciple. Personal feeling has had much to do with
it. So far as principle is concerned, there will al
ways be, in free, enlightened America, a liberal,
progressive party, whose mission will be the ele-
yation Of the masses, the advancement of the
rights of man and the erection of a glorious tenn
pie to the genius of Liberty. 1t is to these high
and noble purposes that the Republican party of
to-day is dedicated. 1t may encounter the
sneers and misrepresentation of caste and dem
agogy; be subjected to the abusive denuncia-
ton ofignorance and prejudice, but it will tri-
