MARINE AccIDENT-FoUR MEN DROWNED.
The schooner Pioneer, Capt F. G.. Lothrop,
loaded here with coal at the agency of Mr.. j.
P. Agnew, and sailed for New York on Friday
morning last She had fair wind down the
river and about dusk had reached the Kettle
Bottoms, but the turn buoy at that point being
off, and the water being low, owing to the pre-
vailing northwest wind, the vessel grounded on
lump, and remained there until Sunday even
ing, when high tide took her off. All day
Saturday efforts were made to get her ahoat by
sails and cage anchor, but these means proving
Intellectual, on Sunday morning it was deter
mined to run out the small anchor, SO that, when
the tide made, she could he hove off; and
the mate, End mate and four seamcn, nan-
ming ony boat, attempted to carry this
purpose into execution, and had succeeded so
far as to reach distance Of about twenty faith
ons from the vessel, and to heave the anchor
overheard. when, by some unforeseen accident,
supposed to be from the hanging Of the chain, the
boat was instantaneousy dragged under, and
the six men left struggling i'll the water. The
Captain and cook, the only persons left on board
the vessel, witnessing the accident Immediate
ly threw over platforms and spars, and every
thing that would serve for the men to cling to,
and hailed the schooner AngclineN auclcat that
was close by, to send her boat to the assistance
of the drowning crew, and the Captain OF the
Nanclcaf made such haste as he could, but his
hands in lowering their boat were in SO great
hurry that they lost their oars, and SD were I'M
able to afford any succor The mate, Peter
.Johnsoa. and 4 seaman. named Edward l}aliour,
strucl; out for the vessel and were rescued by
lines thrown to them by the Captan-and cook,
but the 2nd mate, Grin Sears, from llyannlS,
Mass, and thee seamen, Harry Thompson,
Vim. II. Pearson and John G. Roscn garest,
all mailing from New York, We're drowned.
The Captain and cook of the Pioneer, and the
CAPTAIN of the Nanccaf did every thing III
their bower to save the unfortunate men, but
the attending circumstances were 50 untayor-
able that their efforts were unsuccessful. Capt.
Lohrop arrived here last night in thePhladcl-
phia steamer Geo H.Stout, Capt Ford, and will
leave to night in the steamer Columbia with 4
new crew He has made arrangements with
the Custom House officers here to pay for the
recovery of the bodies of the drowned men.

To the Voters Of Augusta County

To the Voters Of Augusta County.
From numerous solicitations of my fellow
citizens, I have concluded to allow my name
to be used for seat in the next Legislature
of Va. I do not feel it necessary to go in
to detailed category of what my course
would be, if elected, but will give my views
upon some of the leading topics.
am opposed to the Funding Bill, and
would use my utmost endeavors to have the
same repealed
AS to the s12 per. cont. clause Of the Con-
stitntion, in mysopinion, it has been suffic-
iently tried to convince all that the sooner
the State gets rid Of it, the sooner she will
be on the road to prosperity. 70 relation
to Free Schools, I am decidedly, IN tfayor
oft7tem. There may be improvements upon
our system, but | am in favor of placing ed
ucation in reach Of all. All are now .citi.
zens, and the more they are enlightened
the better citizens they will make No
country Or people can be prosperous when
the boon of education is withheld It is
the beacon star Of our Countryside land
mark to greatness. 1t7 So
1t would be impossible for me, at this time
to give full detail Of what my course would
be, as | do not pretend to foresee events be-
fore they occur, but suficeit to say, would
ever be at my post watching the interest Of
my State and especially my native County,
Augusta). Having been born among yon
and expecting to die with you, I could do
nothing detrimental to your interest that
would not impair my own. In my early
1 daysI served eight years as an apprenticed
Mechanic, and am now and expect to spend
tho remainder of my life farming, therefore,
from my ex perience in these two branches
of industry, I feel that | may. be Of some
benefit to the farmerssano mechanics of Au
gusta. la
al In conclusion, would say to the voters
Of the county, If elected, | would earnestly
support ell measures that, in my opinion,
looked to the relief of Va, and siren.
uously oppose ali antagonistic, let them come
from what course they may.
Respectfully,
