st. Louis arrived at this port on Friday morn
ing, we saw and conversed with Mr.. Cyrus
LOWman, of New Carlisle, Ohio, one Of the
suHcIefs Dy lhe OcsanQs utsiiHtef. Mf; Low
man had embarked at shreveport Ors5t- Louis
AT the time we saw W him he was suffering from
some slight scalds and burns, but seemed in
good spirits because Of his escape. We have
already detailed Mr. LOwman's hair-bredth
escapes and good luck in getting away from
the fatal wreck, and successfully 4aaching the
shore. But We did not state, because Mr.. Low
man had not given us the information, that he
had shipped a snug little sum Of money He
had lntruSteQ TO the custody OF Captain
Worsham the sum of 500 in Texas currency
(gOld), and had in his trunk the sum Of S1745
in Uniled states currency (greenbaci1sl. At
the time of the explosion Mr.. Lowman had
presence OF mind 70 throw his trunk over
board himself, and followed soon after, and in
the struggle for life was successful. A few
days after the occurrence he learned that his
trunk had been secured, and fastened down
the river TO the place. He found his trunk in
the possession Of Mr.. George Sturdevant, at
Goose Island creek. ON making examination
OF its contents he found them somewhat dis
turbed, but found that his funds were all
there. Mr. StIIrdevant, upon satisfying mimi
self that LOwTnan was the rightfui owner of
the property, promptly relinquished IT, We
have not been informed, but naturally con-
clude that If SturdeVant is a very rich man,
he must have inherited his wealth, or got into
an unusual current of luck. Such exhibitions
Of honesty in these days of general corruption
are truly refrGshing-like the shadow Of a.
great rock in a weary land. His name de-
serves to be reInem bered. )"
