CAPTAINS STATEMENT.

CAPTAIN = SIAYEMENIs
We sailed from Liverpool, March
20. During the first part of the
passage, We bad favorable weather
and easterly winds. On the oath,
25th, aud Goth, experienced heavy
southwest and west gales, which
brought the ship down to 1l8 miles
a day. On the 31st of March the
engineers report showed about 127
tons coal on board. Were then AGO
miles east of Sandy Hook, with
wind southwest and high west
swell. and falling barometer, the
ship steaming only 8 knots an hour.
Considered the risk too great to
push on, as we might find ourselves,
in the event of a gale, shut out from
any port Of supply; SO we directed
to bear up for Halifax. At 1 pm.
on the 31st, CambrO Island was
distant 40 miles, the ships speed
varying from 8 to II knots per
hour, and the wind south, with
rain, which veered to the west at 8
pm. with clear weather at mid
night. l judge the ship to have
made 122 miles, which would place
her As miles south of CambrO, and
L then left the deck aud went into
the chart room, leaving orders
about the ''lOOk-out," and to let me
know if they saw anything and call
me at 3 AIN, intending then to put
the ships head to south and await
daylight. My first intimation of
the catastrophe was the striking of
the ship OH MARI Island and re-
naming there fast The sea imme-
dIateIy swept away all the port
boats !; the officers went to their sta
tiOns and commenced clearing away
the weather boats, aud rockets
we're fired by the second officer.
Before the boats could be cleared,
the ship keeled heavily to port,
rendering the starbOard boats use
less. Seeing that no help could be
got from the boats, 1 got the pas
sengers into the rigging and out
side sails and encouraged them to
go forward, where the ship was the
highest and less exposed to water.
The third officer, Mr. Brady, and
quartermasters Owens and Speak
man by this time having establish
ed communication with the Outly-
ing rock, about forty yarns distant,
by means of line. got four other
lines to the rock, along which about
200 persons passed. Between the
rock and the shore was a passage
100 yards wide. A rope was sue
cessfully passed across this, by
which means about 80 persons got
to land, though many were drown
ed in the attempt. AT 5 am, the
first boat appeared from the island,
but she was too small to be of any
use. Through the exertiOns of Mr..
Brady the islanders were aroused,
and by Gam. large boats came to
our assistance. BY their efforts all
that remained on the side of the
ship aud Oh the rock, were landed

JACKSON, April 9.-The Legisla-
ture disposed of a number OF bills,
but they were al! local and of no
importance whatever.
The railroad magnates are here,
and it is supposed will oppose the
loan of the Chickasaw school fund
to the Visksburg and Ship Island
road.
In consequence of Attorney Cen
eral Morris refusal to meet Major
Barksdale out of the State, 1t was
expected an encounter between
them would take place on the street
to-day. Barksdale appeared on the
corner in front of the Ca4 'itOl early
this morning, but Morris did not
come down from his residence till
about II O'clock. Quite a crowd
had gathered by that time, and as
Morris carriage drove down and
stOpped a short distance above the
Capitol gate, Barksdale advanced
TO the middle of the street. Col.
Thompson got out Of Norris carriage
and came down to Barksdale and
! informed him MOI ris would make
no attack upon him, and desired to
know what was going to be done.
Barksdale declined to say what lie
meuded doing. By this time Morris
had gotten out of the carriage OIL
the sidewalk. A shotgun was in
the carriage, in easy reach. A police
man arrested him, and abOat the
same time Barksdale was informed
that he, too, was in custody. Both
we're placed under peace bonds of
$1,000. Barksdale publishes very
diguitied card in to-day's Clarion to
the effect that if holding a peace
Office restraints Morris from afford
ing satisfaction for personal injur-
| les, it ought to have restrained him
from Offering them, and that a man
who ia pitlfal enough to take shelter
under the pretext he has act up, has
not the manlisess to make repara
ton for Injuries he has attempted
to inflict. The general opinion ia
that Barksdale is completely mas
| ter of the situation.

A love of flowers and perfumes
has always been deemed a lady like
taste. Every enc, even the rudest,
recognizes something refaing in
this taste, and likes tn see u dis
played. Not only gentle Sir Gala
had, but the griinmest and tough
est knights in the lists, were doubt
less pleased to see
.sPsefaas and flowers fall in showers
That lightly ran from lsdies' hands,"
It now appears that this taste 10
as useful ~ it is charming. An
Italian professor has discovered, by
. series of careful experiments, that
sweet-scented flowers have power
full effect in producing atmospheric
ozone. Our readers are aware that
osone is Q peculiar form Of the life
sustaining element Of our atmos-
pierre. The latest researches seem
to show that it is composed Of three
atoms Of oxygen combined in one.
However this may be, there in little
doubt that the presence of ozone in
IN The air h very important in sus-
tanning vitality and REFRESHING dis
ease Professor NaategxzEa found
that the essences of certain flowers
aud scented plants develop ozone in
very large quantities. Among the
flowers sro especially mentioned
thoee Of the parcissus, hyacinrh,
miS.onette, heliotrope, aasl lily of
the valley; among plants, the cher
rysaaurel, lavender, mint, Juniper,
fennel, anise, and bergamot. But
it may be Inferred that all sweet
odors Of vegetable origin have the
same healtk-giying quality in view
Of these facts, We are not surprised
to learn that 1.-THE professor recon-
mends the use of towers in marsby
distEiets xnd in places infected with
animal e0aRati0ns, as the powerful
oxidizing Influence of ozone may
destroy them.n He. advises that
the inhabitants Of such regions

rounds her dwelling with sweet
scented flowers and plants, and who
makes her rooms and her clothing
fragrant with their essences, is an
angel of health to her family and
friends. 1t is well to remark, also
that this discovery Of Professor
MAntegazza affords another evi
dence of the Importance Of the study
of chemistry to the well being o.

MEDICAL EDUCATION.
Medical education has been the theme of
so many addresses, that l feel some diff
dence in allnding to the subject. Much
has been said about reform, and a higher
standard o: IN edical education. The prop
err place 20 elevate the standard and COM
mence the reformation is in our Offices.
See to it that you admit into your office no
Young man who has not received the nee
essary education to qualify him for its
high and responsible duties. The educa-
ton of the youth who is intended for the
medical profession, should be essentially
that adapted for the well educated gentle
man. There is no avocatiOn that requires
such fertility of resources none that more
demands all those facilities which ac-
quaintaince with the various kinds of
reasoning bestows. 1t is a prevalent be-
lief, and as erroneous as it is prevalent.
that n less degree of talent is required for a
ply sician than for a lawyer and strange
enough, we sometimes hear a parent speak
of placing a son to the study of medicine,
because he is apprehensive that his talents
might not enable him to succeed in the
profession of the law. Occasionally, too,
we hear the remark, that certain individ-
uaI has a natural talent for physic-is, as
it were born a physician" The profession
of the law doubtless requires some capa-
biities which that of medicine does not,
to the same extent at least; but no depart
ment of science or art demands greater
Judgment, higher reach of intellectual
qualifications, or a deeper preparation, by
physical and moral culture, than medicine;
and this has been the opinion of some Of
the brightest ornaments of science and
literature. 1t is true that some attain a
knowledge of its facts and principles with
greater facility than others; but it need
har lv he auI1 ia w a u n m nd
adapted for reasoning, and far Judging, on
other difficult physical and moral subjects,
cannot possess these powers in reference
to the intricate machinery and actions of
the human frame, in health and disease,
