and the weather was very cold. The
schooner Saginaw, loaded with sulphur
for Cleveland. went ashore at AshtabuIa

ing parted the anchor chains OF the

went ashorc The former broke in two
and is total loss, but the latter may be
got of. The IL. G.'s anchor held, and she
was brought in by the tug. No lives were

Etiitor O,utchitu Itlegruph:
In the New Orleans Bulletin of Feb'y
End see the evidence of a. p. Levissee
before the Congressional Committee. In
his testimony he makes false statements
against me. 1 now state that I never
saw the witness, and never heard of
him until I read his testimony in the
Bulletin. His evidence is so unexpect-
Ell that it is impossible for me to pre-
pare to disprove it before the Commit
tee finishes, as did not see his evidence
until tho 7th, and cannot go to New
Orleans as you know. BY publishing
this you will confer a favor and refute
faEsehood. Very respectfully,
J. G. HAWKES..
