THE STEAMSHIP FALcoN.-To the surprise OF
most persons this steamer was released from the
breakers near Norris Island beach, on Sunday
evening about P. NJ, and came up to the city
during the night. At the time OF hsr escape from
the dangerous position no aid vas at hand, and
che came OF BY the working Of her engine, the
assistance OF her canvas and kedge. The
staunch manner in which she has sustained her.
self during two days trial among che breakers, is
the best evidence Of the strength OF her hull.
She bears no outward mark of damage, but has
lost about one-third Of her cargo, And has some
INF ~ to the machinery, arising from The getting
in Of the sand among the works during the time
the.engiHe was In motion among the breakers.
The lit OF consgnees will be found under the
marine head.
The following Is tKs report Of John F. Hsynie,
master. of aesRsh1p Falcon, Of Baltimore = II 2:
AT O'Clock P. N. on Friday night, the steamer
Falcon, after q ve y bosterous passage, crossed
Charesion bar and on account r. OF =. eae . recent
ward and got on the Folly Breakers. The mate
and four men were Immediately dispatched up to
the city. aud the agents. Messrs Mordec Co.,
pal ched she steamer Plot Boy, Captain Sly, with
men Sufficient to render all usefut assistance.
The Puor Boy succeeded In getting q haw.
ser 70 the Falcon, aud the sieaIn-tug Emma
getting line to the Pioy Boy to hold her
up they began to pull and. after several
unsuccessful efforts gave IL up. The steamer ELL
lie and tugs Staples and Relief also came down,
but did nothing on Saturday morning, tue Iotn
March. At niph,, the steamer Emile came down
aud gave us haWser, but did not pull at ns. The
PHI BOY and tugs also were there, but from some
cause Unknown to me NO attempt was made 70
communicate with the ship, or TO assist her On,
except running the hawser fIom the Emile. On
sunday morning the Pilot Boy, Relief and Sta.
pie. came down. l run line to the Relief and
hauled her hawser on board. The Pilot Boy,
gong ahead Of the tug, but after sew
efal trials, Whloh were uDsuccesslul, they
stopped pulling and, as last resort sent
the mate up TO the city for an anchor and
hswser to drop in deep wat and try to keep the
ship from going any further on tue shoal. After
the steamer Relief had gone, had q kedge an
ch0r out ahead and all the available sail set,
aud the wind beng favorable, The ship slowed
round. and when the ,tie made we got steam on
the ship and weht full speed ahead, when the
ship came Oh. I must say that all on board OF the
,essel, uflcers, engineers and crew, and the men
&c 10 cur assistance. acted nohly and truly to
the interest OF the ship. In my efforts to save the
viIips and cargo / acknowledge having received

"A BRUTAL attack, wholly Without prov ocation,
Vas made Upon Driver Dsyb ana Conductor
Toomer, of King Street Car, M. 1, at about 8
O'Clock, last night. The offenders were com.

improved rides and fixed bayonets.
1t appears that cas No. was going up King
street, when 1t overlook the company Of negro
mIlitiamen, who were marching on the track.
The car halted three times to allow the black
guard to get out of the way, and the car being
then behind time, the conductor rang the bell for
the driver to 60 ahead. Instantly the militiamen,
cursing like demons, surrounded the car, bran
dlshing their weapons over the head Of the driver
One squad seized the horse and dragged II to the
side OF the car. The driver stood to his post and
was then struck over the hand with dubbed
rfne. This blow cut the hand badly and disabled
the Griyer. The conductor ran to his assistance
ana helped him into the car. Now the militismen
turned upon the conductor and srrucE him heavily
upon the shoulder. Those Of the militia who could
not reach the car with their bayonets then opened
an active fire with briokbRts. With these missiles
some Of the car windows were smashed to pieces,
The militia were now thoroughly aroused, but
were toned down by an officer Of police. Ills ar.
rival saved the conductor and driver from worse
whence and the car from destruction. As soon
as the road was clear the conductor and driver
went on to the upper Guardhouse, where they
lodged their complaint we are not advised. how:

This incident shows what theWhitee have to ex.
