HALIFAX, N. s., April 2, 1873
Accounts vary concerning the numbers of
lost and saved. The latest news confirms the
statement that over seven hundred went down
with the ship or we're afterwards swept off and
drowned. The rescued are now reported to be
about three hundred men and one child, prin-
cipally German emigrants, and the crew. As
there was no time to save the ships papers or
other documents the list of lost cannot be OBJ
tanned.
The steamer Delta has just arrived this after
noon with the survivors from the wreck, and
arrangements are made to have them well
cared for. She reports that the Atlantic has
not broken up, and the cargo, which is large
and valuable, is not, therefore, adrift, with the
exception of that on deck, which was very
little. Several vessels, with diving apparatus,
had arrived at the wreck and commenced
operations for the removal of dead bodies and
the cargo. The sea was still rough, but the
wind had gone down, SO that they could ap-
proach the locality without danger.
The Carlotta's passengers, who got in early
yesterday morning, say that the night was
very dark, rainy and windy, and that they
were very anxious She saw nothing of the
Atlantic.
The disaster was so soon over that hun
dreds could know nothing of the danger. Of
300 women and children a majority we're

ssHoT A WOMAN sAvED-IT,s TERRIBLE,

The Captain said to the reporter this even
ing sTo think that, while hundreds Of men
were saved, every woman should have per-
ished It's terrible. If had been
able to save even one woman
could bear the disaster; but, to
lose all, it's terrible! terrible!" He seemed
to fully realize that the world would hold him
to strict account for the disaster, and that,
whether he was blameless or culpable, he
would be by many held responsible.
Captain Williams is a stout-built English
man, about forty-fve years of age, who has
followed the sea for many years. He was for
long time captain in the Guion line. For
upwards OF year he has been in the White
Star service-frst as chief officer of the Celtic,
and latterly for two voyages, Captain OF the
Atlantic. He met with ON accident short
time ago which disabled him to q certain
extent, and recently he has been compelled
to use stick and abstain from great exertion.
Notwithstanding this, however, he SO con-
Quoted himself at the trying time as to
win the highest commentators from the
passengers.
Late accounts say the vessels cargo was
beginning to come ashore. 1t is q general
one, the larger portion being fashionable dry
goods The whole is estimated at five hundred
thousand dollars.

THE CARE OF THE LIVING AND THE DEAD

It is understood the government will COM
mence an investigation at once. The agent Of
the Cunard and others are making arrange
ments to forward all who are able to go to
New York by steamer. In the meantime all
that is necessary will be done by the citizens
and authorities for the comfort of the sur
vivors.
The passengers were taken care of by the
Cunard agents on their arrival here this after
noon. About one hundred and fifty Of them
will go by the steamer Chase to Portland to-
morrow, the remainder going by the steamer
Falmouth tomorrow night if there is room for
them.
ONE HUNDRED BODIES RECOVERED.
About one hundred bodies have been re-
covered at Prospect. The agents here have
ordered 100 collins to be sent down at once
The company are paying all the expenses.
The city authorities and the Provincial Legis-
lature have taken measures to relieve passen-
gers that may require it. The steamship
company's agents are doing all in their power
for the welfare of the passengers.

beyond the vessel on immense waves, were
carried seaward and seen no more The
bodies recovered will be buried at Prospect
village.
TILE NUMBHR OF souIs ON BOARD
A calculation was now made by Captain
Williams, showing that the loss of life, though
immense, was not SO large as had been re-
ported. The Atlantic had on board thirty
three cabin passengers, 800 steerage passengers
and crew Officers included) Of 143 men;
total, 97G souls leaving the number lost at
SAG. This may not be precisely correct, but
is nearly so.

WASHED OFF IN GROUPS.
81 suppose it is not necessary" said one of
the crew, "to give you the minute particulars
Of how each life was lost. Every succeeding
minute recurring waves washed off one, two
or three, sometimes six. Then dozen were
swept away and went out side by side into the
Valley of Death. There is no language that
can describe the feelings of o man holding on
for dear life to bit of rigging and watching
his friends and companions struggling, clutch
ing, sinking, dying The weakest of course,
went first. One poor fellow had managed to
get himself in position where he was penned
in by pieces of timber which could not very
well be affected by the action Of the waves.
SHADING OFF THE SHADOW OF DEATH.
His body was nearly entirely protected
From my position in the rigging could see
the expression of his countenance as from time
to time he took his hands from his face, gazed
about as if not daring to lift his head, and
then again hid his sight In an unlucky mo-

of his body to make himself more comfortable,

found regret in the disclosures made thereby evil
dence of political and official corruption and the
abuse OF responsible positions by of all political
parties and we demand pure official conduct nd the
the confidence freely extended to tn en- shall not be
shielded from the disgrace of their acts by par
zanship of ours; and we denounce all Credit Mobi-
ier transactions whatever be their form.
Resolved, That the Republicans of Maine de-
nounce the recent action of Congress known as the
salary grab increasing the salaries of its members,
and especially its retroactive feature by which nearly
S. 900 were voted to each member for services
already paid. gross violation of the pledges of
the last National Convention, and demand the in
mediate and unconditional repeal of act dis
graceful to Congress and odious to the people.
Resolved, That the practice of loading the appro-
priation bills essential to the support of the govern
ment with Objectionable legislation in the shape of
amendments, towards the close of the session is
prolific source of abuse and fraud upon the people
and its reform is urgently demanded.
Resolved, That we recognize growing evil
that should be uprooted increase Of private leg
National Congress, consuming time that should be
given to purely public interests, building up thereby
overgrown corporations and monopolies, and giving
rise to iobbes which tend to bring reproach both
National and State legislation.
Resolved, That the thanks of the people of Maine
are due to Hon. Sidney Perham for the faithfulness
and ability with which he has filled the Executive
