THE VIRGINIUS SUNK.

The fr-Elmcd steamer, Virginius, which,
at one time it was thought, would provoke
war between the United States Government
and Spain, has at last come to an gnoblc end,
having foundcred and sunk near Wilmington,
n. c., on the 10Th ultimo, while i'll tow by
the United States war vessel, Ossippec, from
Tortugas to New York. Had the Nirgnius
reached New York, she would have been
seized and proceedings to condemn the vessel
would have been instituted at once. But Of
course, this feature of the protocol will have
obe dispensed with though the alleged own
ers of the vessel can be held responsible for
what she did. The following account con-
tains the particulars of the catastrophe to the
ill.fated vessel:
"The United States war vessel, Ossippee
left the Tortugas with the Virginius in tow
on the morning of the 10Th ult. They had
fair weather until Saturday afternoon. The
following day the gale sprang up. They

ginius signaled that she was leaking badly.
Capt Walters, the commander of the Osslppee,
therefore determined to shape his course for
Charleston, s c., but as they got into smooth.
er water the 'Virginius behaved better, and
water was kept out of her fire-room. On the
morning of Christmas day, however, severe
weather having continued, the Virginius was
again leaking as badly as ever, and the ves-
sells put into Frying Pan Shoals, about ten
miles south of the Cape Fear light house,
where smoother water could be attained, and
the vessels came to anchor, Captain Walters
hoping that the Virginius would ride out the
gale before daylight next morning Friday,
Commander Woodsaw signaled with lights
that the Virginus was leaking rapidly, with
her fires out and pumps stopped, and that the
crew wished to be taken off. Boats were low
cred from the Ossippee at daylight, and Z
o'clock, a. H., all on board of the Nirglnlus
were transferred to the vessel. AS heavy
sea was running, the work Of removing the
crew was one Of much danger and difficulty,
and therefore no lives were risked in endeav-
oring to save their personal effects or any
other property on the Virginius. The hawser
of the Virginius was cut and the buoy at
tached to mark her position in case she sank
out of sight. The Ossi sippee remained at an
chor during the day, and at quarter past
4 o'clock, D. m. the Virginius which had been
gradually settling, went to the bottom. She
sank in eight fathoms Of water, and her top
masts remained above the surface. The Os-
sippee then resumed her voyage to New York,
arriving safely with tie crew Of the Virginius
who had been surrendered by the Spanish au-
thorities, and who had not been previously
transported to the Brooklyn Navy Yard by
the Juniata.
A report being circulated that the Virgin
ius had been purposely sunk, the commander
of the Ossippee Indignantly denies the asser-
ton. TO the contrary, he says every effort
was made to save her, and it was with diff

lieved that the ship was sunk Intentionally,
although it is generally conceded that her
loss was most opportune
An official examination of the Virginius
prisoners is progressing; but the proceedings
are kept secret. The officers of the Juniata
assert that there is concerted plan among
these prisoners to profess entire ignorance as
to the nature of the Virginius at the time of
her capture and as to the transportation of
arms. There is great unanimity among them.
They deny that arms or ammunition were
thrown overheard from the vessel during pur
cuit
