loss OF TIE STEAMSHIP ATLANTIC.

We gave last week a brief statement an
nouacng the loss Of the steamship Atlantic
from Liverpool, on the coast Of NOVA SEQ
tia, about 26 miles off from Halifax. There
we're lost SAG passengers, out oil 95con board.
Not female passenger was saved Many OF
then, got into the rigging, and some Of them
we're frozen to death, and others saved. A
dispatch from New York. dated 9th says:
= Three hundred and Eve survivors of the
Atlantic arrived hers this morning by the
steamer Newport. e being generally known
they we're coming, as early as o'clock any
ious crowds gathered, around the pier, and
the widest excitement prevailed. Meanwhile
the commissioners Of emigration had the tug
Thomas Fletcher chartered, and to-avoid the
large crowds outside ran her up close to the
Newport, took the unfortunate passengers on
board aud steamed down to Castle Garden,
where the scene baffles description.
Thousands of men, women aud children,
almost Of every natioo, were gathered, and it
was with the greatest difficulty they could be
kept from forcing their way through the
gates The poor fellows looked starved
wretched and m;serably clad, and seemed to
be very much disheartened. On their arri-
val at Castle Garden they were registered as
usual, after which friends who were waiting
in the ihformatlen room sent in the names Of
those whom they sought, and as wife and
children, sister or brother recognized one o.
the unfortunate men whom they deemed LOST
the scene was touching. The men gave way
entirely, and the women either snooned o.
screamed for joy. Even outside the gates
men and women who were gathered 10 group:
| robbed and cried bitterly.
After short time breakfast was served
consisting of coffee, boiled eggs, tongue, ham
white bread and butter, Of which the starving
mef partook pentifully. During the day
they seemed to become more reconciied. A
3 p. NJ. dluuer was served Of soup, hashee
beef, corned beef, potatoes, bread, pie ant
cakes. About 100 of the passengers leav'
to night on the Erie road, the remainder in
few days. A majority Of the men speak dis
paragiugy Of the captain and crew, and com
plain that after being two or three days 6
sea their food was cut short.

Yours in the hope Of heaven.
GEORGE 3. TAYLOR.

Rev. GEORGE B. TAYLOR, D. D.,
Very Dear Brother THE undersigned, COM
mit:ee of the Baptist Church Of Staunton. have
been instructed to inform you that your reslgna-
ton of the Office Of Pastor, rendered April 9th,
1873, has been accepted; and also to express to
you, and to place upon our records, these senti-
ments in yielding to your wishes, and acquiescing
in your decision. With The exception ofa period Of
two years, while you were Chaplain CT the Univer-
sity of Va, :you have been with this Church from
nearly the beginning Of its history. You crsdled
and nursed it in its infancy; and 1t has grown
up with you and reached its present maturity un-
der your fostering In the happy ielations
that have always subsisted between pastor and
people in this place, the feeble band of brethren
with which you began your labors. has increased
until it he's beeomea large and prosperous church.
While witnessing these fruits Of your ministry
among Us, we had fond!y hoped to see the widen
ing harvest, which was even open to oar view,
gathered and garnered by your hands. But
Providence seems to have ordered otherwise
Nothing but the observation-disclosures Of the Divine
will, and your strong sense OF duty, could have
reconciled us to the snndering Of those tender
ties which hare bound us together In our happy
union
And now, dear Brother, we commend you and
yours to the loving care of our Father IN Heaven,
and we pray that the Grace Of God, through the
Lord Jesus Christ. may abound unto you and
them, against the perils Of travel by sea and by
land against the sahtile cunning ana declared
enmity Of men that shall oppose, against the wick
ed one and all his works; that at the last you
ra.y stand before God, blaheless in Jesus Christ
the Saviour.
Your Brethren,

The Amended Bankrupt Ast.

The Richmond Wing agrees with the Dis
patch in the Interpretation Of The amendment
to the bankrupt law, "that every householder
or head Of family is entitled to $4,000 ez-
emption, whatever the character Of debts
that none ofthe exceptions made by the Con-
stitution of the State is respected by the bank.
rupt act; that purchasers who have not paid
the purchase money, mortgagors, in word
all debtors are entitled to $500. This, If
SO, makes clean sweep, and wipes out in
debtcducss generally. As the power OF Con-
gress in passing bankrupt law is Unlimited,
and the words oetbe act seem to warrant this
construction. VIZ suppose the conclusion to be
correct" LyncA6uy Tirgiaian.
This really seems to be the only construc-
ton that can be legitimately placed on the
| wording of the new act It makes the ex-
emptions against all debts contracted before
| or since the adoption Of State Constitution,
and against DEGREES Of State Courts, jujg-
ments liens, &c. A debt is debt until dis
charged by payment in some form or other,
. and SC long az it exists, it ID amenable to
tho opefatiun Of the bankrupt law. Accor-
ding to our construction, the law interposes
TO intercept the distribution CT funds arising
from commissioners sales, &C., and makes
them subject to the exemption claim. In
whatever condition the debt is found, it can
| be discharged in bankruptcy and the exemp-
ton located on property, CT whatever char
arter, personal or real, Of the debtor, held to
meet the debt The amendatory act, is en-
acting as we'll as dsclaraiory. and inasmuch
as it is enac,ius, it repeats all former lava, or
features Of laws. in conflict with it. We uu-
derstana, that in view Of the conflicting
cpinions expressed in reference to this new
law, the whole question will be argued before
Judge Bond. at Richmond, in May next
We see it stated that Judge Chase expects
to be in Richmond at that time. We hope il
/ is so, and that Tho will sit at the hearing OF
the argument. It is necessary that there
should he clear understanding Of the cues.

There is, therefore, nothing in this

THE outlook for the American export
trade is exceedingly promising. The peo-
pie of Europe want bread, and they will
get it. if they are compelled to send gold for
it. France has no food to export, but must
import. The Russian crops are short.
Germany has barely home supply. Ire
land now grows nothing for export, ex-
cept cattle aud fax. Wheat and flour will
rule high for year to come, and corn will
probably sympathize with the advance in
beef and pork. The cotton and tobacco
crops are good, and the prices will not de-
cline. If the farmers only realize good
prices for their products the industrial in
terests of the country will remain sound,
and no smash-up of the SPECTATORS and
stock gamblers can injure the vital interests
of the country.
