From the Eve men whom he rescued, the sur
viyors Of the wrecked steamer Vicksburg, Captain
Cooper gathered the following facts

detail, and as talked to them | was frequently
obliged to stop them and get them to explain, as
they were SO eager to talk that they interrupted

they had fallen in with large fields Of ice, and

ately stopped by the Captains orders, and 1t was
discovered in few moments by one of the crew
that the ice haa broken hole through the port
quarter, and that the ship was making water very
fast under the after deck. Instantly there was a
wild excitement but under orders from their Off
GERS the crew brought blankets and mattresses,
and all kinds Of stuff and stopped up the hole as
| best they could, so that the water came in much
less rapidly. As soon as possible the different
compartments Of the ship were all sounded, and it

that Mrs. Oliver Perry Rice, of that

ton a legal opinion that she was heir to
sixty-eight million dollars worth of

to the inheritance as follows "We

MR.. CHARLES FEcHTER AT THE GRAND
OPERA HOUSE.

Mr.. Fechter was not very warmly
greeted last evening, the Opera House
was scarcely one-third filed. The
audience, however, in the main, was
composed of our most fashionable and
intelligent people.
Mr.. Fechter is certainly a great
actor, but not of the nat1re which the
American people delight to witness.
He Is careful and pains-taking and
faithful to cxactness il all his delinea-
tions, but he lacks the impassioned
vigor and earnes.ness which seems
necessary to secure the favor of Amer
lean audiences. Like Toole, he re.
ceived very little and very lukewarm
applause. His supporting company
was very good, including Miss Lizzie
Price, Miss Kate Hackett and Miss
Julia Manning, W. E. Sheridan, G..
W. Howard. Wallace Grant, Jos. Ken.
nedy and Z. p. Wilks.
The play itself, "Rockdale, or Loves
Penancs," was hardly of a character
to amusc or interest the audience. 1t
was heavy, almost sombre In its de.
tails, peculiar If not Objectionable in
portions of theiplot, and only redeem
able In its faithful portrayal of those
two great human passions-love and
revenge.
On the whole we scarcely think Mr.
Fechter leaves a very favorable im
preston with our people.

No further dangeris is apprehended, as
it is confidently believed by those of
