MELANcuoLY NARRATIVE OF SH1pwREcK.

MELANCHOLY NARRATIVE OF SHIPWRECK.
The Belleville Ontario gives the following
account of the loss Of the schooner Jessie:
During the storm on Tuesday, October 80,
the Jesse was seen to approach the lee, north
sioe) of Salmon Point, and, getting we'll into
the cove, cast anchor. The wind on Sunday
afternoon being nearly from the south, the
point formed an excellent shelter, and in all
PROBABILITY the master of the unfortunate
vessel hoped to ride safely at anchor until
the weather would permit him to reach his
destination. During the night the wind
shifted to the west, and sealed the doom of
the vessel. Before daylight on Monday
morning she was discovered in her perilous
condition by some fishermen, and in a short
time the inhabitants of the surrounding
neighborhood were on the beach, hoping TO
render assistance to the poor fellows on board.
But instead of enjoying the happy conscious
ness that they were Instrumental in saving
the lives of their fellow>beings, they were
doomed to witness the most appalling scene
we have ever been called upon to describe.
The approach Of daylight revealed to the
bystanders the awful condition of the unfor-
tunate seamen, but brought with it no
means of rescue. The vessel had dragged
anchor and struck bottom about thirty rods
from shore. The wind was blowing a gale
from the west, and the sea rolling it in large
waves over the deck of the Jessie, broke
upon the beach with relentless fury, com-
p!etely frustrating the efforts Of the specta-
tors to reach the wreck. The main boom
had been hoisted above the waves, and FIVE
men were clinging to it as their only hope
of safety until assistance came. Three other
unfortlnates were hanging to the rigging,
looking wistfuliy to the shore, aud doubtless
hoping against hope that they would be
spared to reach it alive. A staunch boat
was brought to the shore, and many willing
hands, impelled by brave hearts, attempted
to buffet the waves, but were again aud
again thrown back upon the beach At
about 10 o'clock in the forenoon all hope was
suddenly brought to an end The vessel
seemed to break asuuder in the centre, the
spars fell. the sea washed over the ruins,
and eight human beings were euveloped by
the angry waters! Two or three Of the
poor fellows were seen to keep above the
waves for few minutes, and one, who must
have been powerful man as we'll as an ex-
pert swimmer, vainly strove to reach the
shore. but carried along the beach by the
current aud back swell until he was thirty
rods from the wreck and twenty rods from
the shore, he disappeared forever This
ended those painful hours of Monday morn
ing. The frantic shouting of the crowd on
shore sank into mouruful silence, and tears
of sorrow were shed for the strangers who
perished on our would be hospitable shores.

THE WAR RECoRD.-Gen. Won der Tam
has been removed from his command, which
looks as if his defeat at misunderstanding
to the Tribune piece of high strategy--was
not quite considered so by King William
and General Won Moltke. The Germans are
doing their best to prepare against the French
attack from the army of the Loire, and Gen.
Trochu's, Army of Paris. A strong German
army is rapidly concentrating west of Paris,
under the command Of the Duke of Meek
lenburg. Everything is in readiness at Yer
sailes for a speedy removal of King gWilliam's
household in case of defeat. Nevertheless
he has invited the King of Bavaria to meet
him there, and the latter is preparing to do
so. There are now moreithan million men
under arms in France, and all that is want
ed is organization. The war cloud in the
East is rapidly darkening the entire horizon,
but there are no signs yet of positive thun,
der. Russia is ready for the fray her iron
clads in the Black Sea will most probably
move first. England is getting her navy
ready. and her Guards have orders to pre-
pare for the field. Her Cabinet, however. is
"deliberatiDg," and quakes with internal
throes. Turkey, most interested of them
all, is peacefully inclined, but is calmly
making ready for death struggle, if needs
be. II is the general opinion in England
that by January next all Europe will be on
the war path.

The Chicago Tribune, the foremost Re-

presses its dissatisfaction with the present
condition Of political parties.
The Tribune is not alone in this feeling.
The best and most thoughtful men Of both

ever, to make serious mistake when it as

issue in which it believes, and tor which it
Is prepared to vote. namely, free trade"
On the contrary, the Democratic party, as
4 party, is even more ignorant on this ques-
| ton than the Republican,. In the'atter the
question has been for several years zealou>y
| and even acrimoniously discussed, and Re-
| publicans have been educated ny their own
journals to comprehend the difference be-
tween free trade, or its practical application

this controversy has been skillfully hushed
