THE DISASTER OF. TIE CdPTIIN-
INOTHER SHIPWRECK.
LONDON, September 10.

LONDON, September 10.
As fragments of the Captain found so far be-
long to no vital parts of the ship, 1t is thought
her hull may have drifted seaward. From ac-
counts OF the storm, it seems the gale was in
creasing, and Wednesday morning the signal
was given for the squadron to wear ship. The
Captains reponse was not seen. Inc rest OF
the fleet ran before the wind until out OF sight
OF the Captain. At seven o'clock heavy
souall occurred. which probably threw the Cap
tain on her beam ends. The bodies found
were of men whose duty it was towear the
ship. 1t is possible the vessel was driven to
sea after being wrecked, and the bodies Of
the men found were washed of. The names
of the officers and II men reported saved are
unknown,
A. eleven o'clock this morning a large YES
sci, name unknown, struck on Goodwin Sands,
on the east coast of England, and was soon
total wreck. No boat could approach her on
account of the high sea. The fate OF the crew
is unknown. On board which floated ashore
were the words "New York
LAyER.-Experts believe the Captain was run
down by some unknown vessel. Her steam
power was so great that the story of her hav-
ing gone ashore was incredible. The Cap
tain was one OF the largest and finest iron-clad
steamships in the English navy.
LONDON, September IL.
Admiral Milness account Of the loss OF the
CAPTAIN, says: 81 was aboard OF the Cap
tain en- the morning Of the 9Th. Everything
was in order for sailing. The trial began that
afternoon, the breeze was moderate andthe
ships carried royals. At A o'clock, the bree re
freshened, the Captain, making from II to l3
knots The sea washed her lee deck gcawales
which were sometimes level with the water.
LEFT the Captain at $50 P. NJ. Twenty miles OF
Finesterre the 'evolutions were resumed. The
ships were in their designated positions. A
westward course was taken. At II NJ. the
wind freshened and the barometer fell. A
gale ensued, and our sails were reefed. The
Captain wes alone astern of the flagship,
steaming steadily and gaining on us.
At ouartsTepast l A. NJ. she was six points
abaft our beam, keeling over very much.
few minuees later her lights were still visible.
A thick rain now shut her out'from view. At
dawn ten ships of the feet were visible, but
the Captain was missing. The squadron scat
tered to search for her, and fragments Of the
wreck were found No survivors were dis
covered. Subsequently eighteen Of the crew
reached Captain Corrobejo, and reported that
another boat had capsized and all on board
were lost"

THE FLORIDA coTrov' BUSINESS.
Cheering News for our Charleston Fac.
tors-The State OF the Crops, &c.
FROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT ]

FROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT
NEAR LIVE OAk, FLA, September {.
Thinking that you and your CONNER rcial
readers would be pleased TO hear something in
regard to the present condition of the cotton
crops in this section of Florida. will COM
municete such information as have been able
to obtain from personal observation and inter-
course with. farmers in other sections.
Up to the middle Of July crops throughout
East Florida never in the past promised a
more fruitful yield, but the unprecedented
drought, which commenced about the first Of
July, and has continued to this date, caused
the rust to appear about three weeks since,
which has made such rapid progress as to cur
tail the product third, If not more, in many
neighborhoods. need not say that this unex-
pected disaster, and the protracled existence
OF the European war, have greatly depressed
the spirits of the long cotton planters, especial
" the dImlnution of cotton crops. The injury
sustained by the corn crops is comparatively
small and think enough has been made by
large majority OF planters tor home con-
sumption.
At least three-fourths OF the long cotton, as
I am assured. raised in East Florida this year,
will be shipped to Charleston. This heavy
diversion from the Savannah market in favor
OF your city is attributable TO superior sales
made by your factors last winter. And per-
haps no house in Charleston has contributed
more to this result, by skilful management
as statesmen, than the well known and popular
1ne OF Pincfney Brothers. This, as well as
other Charleston firms, will receive heavy
shipments as reward for fidelity and prompt
ness in their dealings with patrons.
The Reform and Conservative Party OF this
State have just nominated their candidates for
State officers and tor Congress, and excite
ment wakes warmer every day. Both parties
are ianguine Of success. The Conservative
ticket Is strong one, and trust will achieve
o crushing victory over the Radicals, who have
ruined the credit and finances of the State by
embezzlement, fraud and speculation. J.

In School Days.

Still sits the school house by the road,
A ragged beggar summing;
Around it still the sumachs grow,
And blackberry vines are running.
Within, the masters desk is seen,
Deep SCARED by raps official;
The warping floor, the battered seats,
The jack-knite's carved initial;
The charcoal frescoes on its wall;
Its doors worn sill, betraying
The feet that, creeping slow to school,
Went storming out to playing!
Long years ago winter sun
Shone over it at setting;
Lit up its western window panes,
And low caves icy fretting.
1t touched the tangled golden curls,
And brown eyes full of grieving,
Of one who still her steps delayed
WheL all the school were leaving.
For near her stood the little boy
Her childish favor singled;
His cap pulled low upon a face
Where pride and shame were mingled.
Pushing with restless feet the snow
To right and left he hngered;-
As restlessly her tiny hands
The blue-cheeked apron fingered.
He saw her lift her eyes; he felt
The soft hands light caressing,
And heard the tremble of her voice,
AS if fault confessing.
I'm sorry that 1 spelt the word;
hate to so above you,
Because, the brown eyes lower FELL
Because, you see, love you r'
St.ll memory 10 gray haired man
That sweet child-face is showing.

How few who pass above him
Lament their triumph and his loss,
Like her,-because they love him.

A Non SEoUITUR.-An English
clergyman in lancashire was lately
endeavoring to prove that doers of
good were always in the minority,
and by parity of reasoning, that the
Conservative party, being in the mi
nority, we're right. To illustrate, he
said: paul was in minority, but
who was right? Peter was in a mi
nority, but who was righr? Christ
was in a minority, but who was right ?"
But the reverend orator was literally
"sat upon" when some one in the gal
lery shouted-"Judas Iscariot was in
a minority, but who was right ?" The
effect was langhable. The lecturer
was struck dumb, for some minutes
could not utter word, and the au.
dience roared.
