the vessel was laboring and heaving
with wind from the south southwest.
At that time she was making for
Presque Isle, and had she weathered
the gale for half an hour longer she
would have arrived in clear waters
A reef was taken in the main sail, but
it was carried away .soon after; the
fore-throat halyards we're then carried
away also. Then as much of the
square-sails were set up as could be
got at and tic vessel was put before
the wind; then rove the throat-hal-
yards, but had no chance to hoist the
fore-sail before the bark went down.
After making the sail, and when all
hands were at the pumps, Capt. Gintz
went around to all the men and shook
hands with every one, saying, good
bye, boys, We are going" The gallant
fellows all remarked, mo, no, captain,
we will be saved yet Mr.. l.. with
three or four others went aft with
knives in their hands to cut the boat
fall, but before that feat was accom-
plished a heavy sea knocked them
back, and the vessel commenced to
sink This was the last time lie saw
Capt. Gintz. When the vessel went
down a suction or melstrom was pro-
duced which drew down the men to a
considerable depth. Our hero found
not little difficulty in getting to the
surface, and at one time thought lie
would be strangled, but he rose finally,
and saw the mzen-mast which had
been pulled out, and part of the cabin
which had broken in two when the
mast went through it. There was at
this time some few planks floating
about, and the wreck IF the cabin,
which Mr.. L. immediately swan to
and succeeded in getting upon, and by
iint of almost superhuman efforts
his hold upon, although he
vas washed off several times before he {
vas picked up. After he had been on '
he cabin about ten minutes he saw I
our men on planks; he could not tell Il
who they were. In few minutes af q
ter that the men had all disappeared,
md he had no doubt they all went |
down and were lost.
Throughout the day, Sunday and
Sunday night, Mr.. L. persevered and
chung to his frail craft, the wind blow
ing fercely all the time. At times he
would become bcnumbed and exhaust
ed. when he became insensible, and
several times found himself in the wa
ter, which had the effect to restore lin
to consciousness. On Monday night, 7
soon after sunset, he saw land, and de-
scribed Southampton light, and about
four o'clock Tuesday afternoon was
picked up by party of fishermen,
some seven or eight miles from the
Canada shore, in an insensible condi-
ton, after having been in the water
about fifty-eight hours without food.
There were nine persons on board,
Captain Samuel Gintz, of Erie, Jacob
Cotter, first mate, of Buffalo. The
second mate was from Buffalo, where
he leaves q wife. Mr.. l.. did not
know his name, nor the names Of the
other men. With the exception of
the captain, himself and the cook, the
men were all shipped at Buffalo. The
cook was married man and leaves a
wife in Detroit.

Wants 10 Ret.

The editor of the Pioneer, after
four weeks silence, finds proposition
to make bet with us in the Howell
Independent, which he republishes, and
says that he will accept the same.
What has been the matter with the
editor of the Pioneer, that he has said
nothing so long, but now, after some
one else has written an article, he pub
fishes it through his columns and mere
ly says, "An offer that we will accept ?"
Perhaps it is for the reason that he
could not find any one willing to fur
nish brains for him any longer, but it
now appears that the Independent is
trying to help him out of the matter.
Time will tell how it will succeed
He needs help, and we are glad that
some one has taken interest enough in
him to lend helping hand when it is
most needed. And if the Independent
will wait a little, and let us settle our
matter with the Pioneer, we will then
give them a chance to take hand in
gWe.
We would respectfully say to the
editor Of the Pioneer that, as our pro-
position is not thought clear enough,
we will state it little palmer, SO that
there can be no mistake. The offer is
as follows, which he must accept or
back square down, as he did before:
Twill bet 800 that was the writ
or and author of the Introductory pub
lished in the first number of the Al
pEyA WEEKLY ARGUS. The matter
to be determined by FIVE citizens of
Alpena, after receiving the evidence.
JONI c. WALL.
Now, Bro. Tefft, if you have any
money to stake on these grounds, you
can accept the bet by placing the
amount in the hands of Mayor Car
penser, if you have no objections to
that gentleman as a stakeholder.

Since the above was In type ono vi
our citizens handed us the following
communication
EDITOR OF Argus:
Please allow me, through your col
umns. to make few remarks concern
ing the controversy between you and
the editor Of the P,omer. All that
your opponent has in view is to crush
you if possible, or do you as much in
jury as lies in his power, which is but
very little, although he imagines him
self man Of influence He knows
full well that you are publishing a
good, readable paper, which has long
been needed here, and as he cannot
now run everything in the printing
line to his own notion, he naturally
feels prejdiced. And in his paper is
not the only place that he is working
at his vile plan, but in private. While
at your labor, furnishing the citi-
zens with the news, he is playing his
underhanded game. He says that
"the Pioneer is the best country paper
in the State" (IIow is that for high :,
that he is publishing "thc paper" that
IF it had not been for you and tho
man employed in your Office, young
Leach would not have left him." etc
All this have myself heard him say
and he cannot deny it. merely teli
it now so that you and the public car
see the part he is playing. He is un
doubtedly of the opinion that YOU
have no friends here, but he may fine
his mistake when it is too late.
As far as that Introductory is con
ccrned, there are but very few VIII
think you were not the author, AM
there is a number who stand ready, II
case you need assistance, to furnisl
you with all the money you may wis
TO bet. or can find takers for. An
here would respectfully ask, wha
has the Howell Independent got to d
with this matter? When that pape
is asked to interfere, then there WI
time enough for something from tina
quarter, but until then they arc nor
interested party, and would show bette
judgement by keeping silent. I'll
matter under discussion, as j unde
stand it, is between you and the P'o'
eer, not the Independent.
Now, Mr.. Editor, do not be timi
if you want hackers, but call on q
old citizen and

DEATH OF Dr., E. HI. RoANE.-At
2 O'Clock this morning, the 9th inst,
passed away from earth, the immortal
part of that pure-minded, kind-hearted
man and citizen, DR.. E. n. Roane,
after an illness of only few. hours; fol-
lowing months of mental and physical
detection. DR.. Roane was SO years of
age, over twenty of which he had lived
in Monroe. He came here just after
the Mexican war, in which he was en-
gagged as a surgeon in the American
army, and began the practice of medi-
cine with DR.. Dabbs, who preceded
his earthly partner some two years, to
the land of the Hereafter. These two,
with the late DR.. Calderwood, composeda
medical trio of extraordinary learn
ing, skill and individual attractions,
whose fame extended to all parts of
North Louiiiana. DIR. Roane had as ma
ny good qualities of heart as any man
wehave ever known. Hewas tender, a.
fectionate, generous, charitable, always
kindly-spoken, obliging, courteous and
disposed to do. right and fair by all
men, either rich or poor. He had but
one failing-what a pity so good a man
as he should be its victim!. .,, -.

The Senate voted to change the mode
of selecting committees, from an .ap-
pointment by the President to nm elec-
ton by the Senate, which action is
claimed as victory for Warmoth..-
During thestxuggle preceding the vote,
Pinchback is reported to have spoken
as follows: ~
Mr.. Pinchback could not understand
how it was that the Democrats In the
Senate were sustaining his Excellency
H. C. Warmoth by their votes, and IN
the very face of the advice giventhem
by their own newspapers, which had
denounced this same Governor HI. c..
Yarmouth as a thief, liar, carpet-bag-
ger, etc. and all who supported him,
with remarks of this natprey How
was it that the chivairy Of the South,
who have heretofore followed the de-
vice Of the DemQSatic press, should
now support BY their votes this man;
who had been SO fiercely denounced.
To this, Mr.. Blackman replied, that
the Democrats had not formed a Goa
lition with either Warmoth or Dunn,
and that they intended to vote for or
against measures as their constituents
required and their consciences dictated.
The House passed a bill appropria-
ting $3.50, 900 for expenses Of the legis-
lature, and adopted a resolution giving
three daily papers to each member, OF
whom probably twenty cannot read. :,

"Those interested in a general am

canvass of both Houses, come to
the conclusion that nothing of the
kind is possible at this session. ~
The character of the Presidents re-
ply to the resolution of Gov. Morton,
inquiring about the condition Of affairs
in North Carolina and other States,
which will be sent to the Senate on
Monday, is such that it would have de
feated amnesty even had it been we'll

are decided on the subject. ~,
Ben. Butler, who claims to have run
Grant, has made amnesty his special
hobby, while Morton, whoris on very
intimate terms with the President, re-
CARDS it as one of the greatest political
heresies of the day. Grant himself, is
not in favor of amnesty, as was proven
in his opposition to the Missouri Brown
Schurz movement, but he may have
been converted during the recent visit
of Greeley here.
