The only survivor of the Inflated steamer
Mcfarland, tells the story of the disaster,
which took place near the entrance OF Tough
Foyle, on the coast of Ireland, as follows:
Between ten and eleven o'clock on Wednes-
day night the 18th the Cambria, which was
under canvass and steam, and proceeding at
rapid rate, struck on Innistrahul rock
about seven miles south-southeast OF the
Heads, at the entrance to the Tough, and the
vessel Immediately commenced to fill with
water. 1t was evident tina, large hole had
been made in the ship. The engines fires
were ut once put out, the crew and passen-
gers rushed on deck, and orders were given
to launch the small boats. Four boats were
accordingly let down, into one of which Nc
Garland got along with about fifteen other
passengers. The roatS were quickly dritted
from the wreck, and Mcfarland cannot say
what became of those which parted from
him. The boat in which he secured seat
was almost Immediately capsized. and after
regainlng consciousness he found himself
graspng the gunwale of the boat, which by
this time had righted. He succeeded in get
ting into the boat and he then discovered the
body of lady dressed in black silk under the
seats. He tried whether any consciousness
still remained with his fellow passenger,
but he soon saw that life had fled. The lady
had, no doubt, been drowned during the
time the boat was upset. Mcfarland spent
the night, from between ten and eleven
O'Clock, i'll the open boat, tossed about by the
waves, which every moment threatened to
engult him, until half-past two on Thursday
morning, when he was fortunately picked up
by the Enterprise. Captain Gillespie put
about his vessel and sailed round the scene
of the disaster for some time, and Mr. Brad
ley, his mate, AT great personal risk, sue
ceeded in rescuing tue survivor from the
boat The Cambria had left New York on
the 9th inst, and had made good passage
to the entrance of the Foyle.
The passengers and crew were congratula-

NOT4 SCOTLI.

The people of Nova Scotia are dissatis-
fed, and well they may be, with the gov
eminent of the New Dominion. It is a
government in which they have no interest,
because it is opposed to those things which
are necessary to the prosperity OF the Nova
Scotians. A meeting is soon to be held at
Halifax which will give bold utterance to
the grievances under which the people OF
that province now labor, and declare for
annexation to the United States. With
annexation to this country a splendid ca
reer of prosperity would open to that peo-
pie. We should welcome them with open
arms. their products would find a profitable
and boundless market, and they would be-
come part of our government in whose
blessings, counsels, and honors they could
share TO the same extent as the oldest
States in the Union That Nova Scotia
ardently desires annexation there is no
doubt, and that she will cut the string
which ties her to the Dominion government

TUESDAY MORNING, NOV. 8, 1870.
NO ARMISTICE.

The report from the camps of the Prus-
slams and French is that the attempt to es-
tablish an armistice has failed, and that the
war is to go on without intermission. 1t
was hoped that result different from this
might be obtained, and that following an
armistice permanent peace might come
But the French will consent to no cession
of territory. and Bismarck will make no
terms without it, and here is the difficulty
in the way of settlement or any step look
ing that way. French honor will be bet
ter satisfied to have territory wrenchcd
away by the strong arm OF King William,
though at the destruction of Paris and all
the attendant miseries of such an event,
than to yield the same territory peaccaoiy
even in view of the fact that it must be
yielded to force if not peaceably This
question of honor is all upon which the
French stick. Whether it will be better
for them to suffer more and yield more
than to grant what Bismarck now asks
would not be long debated outside OF
France, but the notion of honor seems to
outweigh there every other judgment. For
honor, courage, resolution, perseverance,
when properly directed, we have the
most profound respect, but not for the har-
dihood of an individual who plants him
self before the rushing locomotive because
his courage might be questioned if he
stepped aside and gave the machine the
track.
