The prisoner seems to take the matter yery
coolly, and, as FAR as the case has yet proceeded
he has no particular cause for uneasiness, as the
evidence developed against HIM has not been very
strong. The prosecuting counsel, doubtless are
doing their best TO press the case but some singu-
lar blunders are made in the manner or examine
ton OF witnesses.
Last evening three negroes were brought up
from Alexandra by special constable to testify

Nothing True But Heaven.

This world is all q fieeting show.
For mans illusion given;
The smiles of Joy, the tears OF Woe,
Deceitful shine, deceitful flow
There's nothing true but Heaven!
And false the light on Glory's plume.
AS fading hpes Of even; !.
And Love, and Hope, and Beauty
bloom,
Are blossoms gathered for the tomb
There's nothing bright but Heaven!
Poor wanderers of stormy day!
From wave to wave we're driven;
And fancy's fash. and Reasons ray,
Serve but to light the troubled way
There's nothing calm but Heaven!

The high tides prevented our secu-
ring any she'll fish and the few seals
we saw were too timid to capture,
but we secured water in abundance
from the streams running down the
mountain.
Here the men became seriously i'll.
Their legs were swollen; to frightful
proportions; but few could wear their
boots, and a majority wandered about
with their feet tied up in old cloth
and canvas. Some, unable to walk
at all, crawled upon their hands and
knees. At length man named
White, seaman, became delirious
and shortly afterward died. The
ground was so badly frozen that it
was impossible to dig grave, so we
carried the body short distance from
the tent and laid it in the bushes.
The next one attacked was young
fellow we called Dan-sailors, you
know, never give their full names ex-
cept on the articles--and he died
within three hours after he became
delirious. The carpenter. d man from
Liverpool, was the next victim; then
we lost Charley, German seaman,
and finally another sailor called Frank.
All of them died within ten days of
each other, and all were lain side by
side out in the bushes. AS each one
left us, we took his clothes to keep
the living ones warm, but during all
these days not one of us had mouth
full of food.
At length the steward, taking one
of the men out with him into the
brush, returned with slices of meat,
which were roasted over the fire. and
eagerly devoured. We all of US knew
we were sustaining life on the bodies
of our dead companions, but no man
asked a question. Sometimes we had
it boiled and sometimes roasted. It
tasted something like beef, bat it
makes me shudder now TO think of it.
When we had eaten almost all of
the last body the schooner Eagle, of
Port Stanley, Falkland Islands, out
seal fishing, hove in sight. One of
our, men, crawled up to the head-of,
the rocks and, waving the American
flag, with the union down, attracted
their attention. They picked US up
and received us all with as great
kindness as if we had been their own
kindred. We found that we had
pulled about two-thirds of the way
through the Straits of Magellan, and
were then within sixty miles of Sandy
Point. There, after the third day,
the Eagle landed US, and the Chilian
Governor at once provided us' with
everything in the way Of food and
clothing We required. He would
have sent US by the steamer to Val
paraiso, but before she arrived the
United States >loop-of-war Ossipee
put into port and took us on board.
Captain Robbins, myself, the steward
and FIVE seamen were left Of a crew
of twenty-one. From the time the
Golden Hind went to pieces we spent
forty-eight days in open boats. with
only the subsistence have named.
The captain of the Ossipee shipped
the six seamen, although all Of them
were on the sick list and brought
Captain Robbins and myself to Rio
de Janeiro. There I met Captain
Gorham Crowell, Of the bark Colin
R Mcneil, who kindly volunteered
to bring me to New Orleans.
