oG-War Cumberiand-A Lucky Di-
ver.

NORFOLK, Va, June 11.-Capt

rived here to-day in charge of the
iron safe OF the U. s. man-of war

sunk in Hampton Roads by the Con-
federaie ram. Virginia, III 1862
Divers had been at work Oh the
wreck 10 years, having in view the
recovery OF this safe. The lucky
man had only been at the wreck As
hours, when he found the safe buried
in 3 or 4 feet OF mud. The water at
that place is IS feet deep. By the
explosion Of a torpedo the safe was
cracked, and when it was hoisted on
deck, q few pieces of gold coin
dropped out. 1t is generally bes
lieved that the safe contains between
100000 and 100000 in gold. 1t is
estimated that more than 100000
has been lest by different parties in
trying to recover this treasure. the
safe and treasure belong to Capt.
Brown and o. E. Maltby, of this
city, aud Herbert Smith OF Detroit.
While Capt. Brown was searching
the wreck, he came across a petrified
human body, in perfect state it
was unLurt by crabs or fish, and the
flesh was extremely hard.

thought rushed to his irenzied brain
that the object he saw might be his

his darling boy might be buried in
the fathomless quagmire over the |
centre OF which lay this relic.
Approaching to within a safe dis

pressed, showing that some living

one of the neighbors aud two of the
freedmen belonging to the farm came
up. Mr.. NJ. had already explored to
the depth of his arm in the mire, but
found no further traces of the unlort.
unate ones. A pole IL or Is feet
long was now obtained and sent down
its full length, but neither could any
thug be felt nor the bottom touched.
Another rod, longer than the first,
was then fastened to it, and the same
examination made with like result.
Any further attempt 10 recover the
dead bodies was therefore deemed
useless. 1t was accordiuly decided to
desist; and the party, which had by
this time increased to thirty five or
forty persons, all set ont for their
homes, just as the pail of

and groans were piteous indeed, aud

The qnagmire had been known to
all the occupants of the farm from its
earliest settlement, but never till then
was any conception formed of its i'm
