Queen Victoria, not content with
dressing very plainly herself land even
stability at tines and with depressing
every tendency to dressiness on the part
of the ladies Of the royal family, is in
the habit of snubbing those ladies Of the
court who indulge in what her msjesty
is pleased to consider an overdressiness
of style. l wish she would get the En-
glish danes and damsels to have their
evening dresses made a little higher IN
the eorsage. / am told that the bad
taste in dress Of the Duchess OF Edin-
burg is something fearful to contemplate.
Her latest innovation in that line con-
sists in anpearipg at the opera in q
large lace cap. plentifully bedizened
with bows and flowers, which novel head
dress causes her royal and imperial
bighness to lock more like a middle
aged dowager than a blooming bride

LOSS OF AN UNKNOWN SHlP.
Three Seamen Drowned in Attic m pting
to Board Her from the Steamship
Jamaican.

Three Seamen Drowned in Attic I'm pting
to Board Her from the Steamship
jamaican.
from the New Orleans Republican, March III
The steamship Jamaican. Captain Watson, ar
rived at her wharf head of Jackson street. Tues.
day evening at nine O'Clock, after a long and
tedious passage from Liverpool, via Puerto Prin-
cipe Jamaica, Vera Cruz, Tampico and Brazos
Santiago.
The voyage was made unusually sad and unpleas-
ant by the loss OF three aud the heavy weather
that followed for several days AFTER The cause of
the accident was thus ated On the NTH day out
from Liverpool when about 400 miles northwest
OF the Azores, the steamer descrled bark to
windward, with all sails lurled, and riding as light
ly as cotton loaded vessel. She was sgnalled
and aiterward hailed without reply. Considering
her abandoned, each Otflcer and seaman was
anxious TO be one OF the party to board her. The
first officer boatswain, carpenter and three sea-
quarter boat was successfully lowered and the
crew gave way with VIII for the abandoned yes
sci; but just before reaching her sea struck the
boat and she capsized.
Captain Watson, seeing their condition. with
sailors presence OF mind. Immediately launched
the lileboal, double manned, and sent it to their
rescue, but, owing to the strong breeze and heavy
sea, the liieboat could not reach them:
In the meantime the steamer had been put in
motion, but, being very long ship, the first
circle she made she fell short of the waterlogged
Doat the next she just reached 1t. Those clinglng
to the boat were very much eXhausted--so much
so That when bovine thrown to the first
oflicer he barely succeeded III getting it; but when
the ship raised on the and took MIN our OF the
water he fell and went duwn and was not seen
afterward. The carpenter had been washed
away from the boat ana chung to an
oar until he sunk exhausted, being I'M
able to swim. The third seaman was
drowned on the capslzing of the boat. The
three survivors were taken on board by ropes
being thrown to them, and in a few hours were
able TO return to duty. The nlehoat and crew
were soon picked up, and the steamship Jamaica
headed Tor her port Of destination, while all hands
nourned bitterly the fate that shaped their course
across that Of the abandoned bark.
Captain Watson Is OF the opinion that some foul
play might have been going on aboard the bark,
as her sails all lurled snngly as II in port
the only thing adrift was the lower part OF the
spankcr. There was no name or haillng port
painted on her. Her appearance and rig was that
or Il German vessel.

THE SOUTH AND SLAVERY.

10 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
sentence in your leading article OF this morn.
ing furnishes so interesting coincidence that
beg to call your attention to iJ. Speaking OF Mr..
summers death, and sketching his attitude to
slavery and the slave lords, you remark
No public man from the North had ever en-
tered the Senate Chamber without swearing
allegiance to the royal power OF slavery, without,
lear. being too willing to take the oath, Or any
oath, however dlshOnOrabe, to "pTeserve peace"
ana The South meant that there should be no peace
unless Si0pe7V icds respected sacred institution
ADORE TIE Union ana the constitution, as Tue rey'y
corner stone orthe Republic.
The last sentence reads almost like an excerpt
from letter which the late James Il. Hammond,
Ex-Governor and Senator OF South Carolina, wrote
ne in 1860, just after the rebels had threatened
10 fire upon the Star of the South, in case she
attempted the victualling of Fort SUMTER He
said :-"iou see what have often told you
slavery Is stronger than the Union ] have no
hope Of reconstruction OF the confedera ton
upon tue Oh OASIS. We want no Union except
one IN Wnlcn inc slave power shall be largely
and permanently predominant. We can be safe in
no other"
That gives the keynote to the whole trouble. and
the future historian OF our civil war need look no
mriher back than this utterance OF the great
South Carolina aristOcrat for q text to frame hIs
argument upon. General Hammond was n man
not merely OF impulses as some have Charged hut
OF deep convictions also. recall now when I WINS
a guest III 1857 at Silver Bun, he used to chate and
rage at the Inconsistencies or slaveOwners who
held to Wberlorce's idea OF the sinfulness or
slavery. ana yet held on to their slaves He main
canned that the institution was essentially right
SAID that only upon THIS basis could the South
stand up for one moment at the bar OF public
opinion. He hated ab0ntlOnists with all his heart
and yet, with rather comica Inconsistency, joined
with Edmund Kufilln In pressing me to accept the
management OF the AGRICULTURAL Bureau at WASH
