Loss OF THE STEAMSHIP W. P. CLYDE
A correspondent OF the Baltimore Sun,
writing from Chincoteaguc, Va, states that
the steamship w. P. Clyde, of the Clyde
line, commanded by Captain w. W. In
gram, and plying between Norfolk, Va,
and Philadelphia, sunk OIL Assawamon
inlet, Virginia coast, on Tuesday night last.
The Clyde is SOL tons burden, and left Nor
folk on the oath, freighted with general
merchandise, and having on board fifteen
passengers and crew numbering sixteen.
She encountered heavy weather on Tues
day, and at O'Clock that evening COM
menced leaking very fast. The pumps were
put in operation, but were out Of order and
would not work; so the passengers and
crew were ordered up in the saloon, and
preparations were made for abandoning the
ship, which was successfully accomplished
at :! O'Clock on Wednesday morning by the
Use OF three small boats. Both passengers
and crew were picked up about O'Clock the
same morning by Philadelphia schooner
and transferred to the steamer Alice. They
left for Philadelphia yesterday.

\ Boy AND GIRL MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.
Judge Pinkney, of the Baltimore City Cir
cult Court, has granted divorce q uinculo
matrinlonii in a case in which features OF
more than ordinary interest were developed.
The petition was filed on the 22d OF Noyem-
Der last by Virginia Griffith formerly
iInes), by her next friend, John c. A.
Hines, Us. Arthur Griffith, her husband. 1t
relates that they were married on the 1st Of
August, 1871; but within ten days there
after she was abandoned by her husband, OF
whose whereabouts she had no knowledge.
Since then she had been compelled to sup
port herself. Defendant filed his answer to
the bill, stating that when in his seventeenth
year (his present wife being one year young
err, "by an unfortunate and hasty act OF in
discretion, he married complainant" neither
of them having an adequate idea OF the
solemnity and Importance OF the relation
into which they had entered. The marriage
was a secret one, he and she running away
to have the ceremony performed. He adj
mitted that he left his wife ten days after
the marriage. He states that he now resides
in Detroit, Mich, and that he has not sutti-
cient means, and had less at the time Of mar
riage, to support his wife, and therefore
consented to decree of divorce.-Gazette.

GEN. WINFIELD s. HANCOCK.
The duty Of nominating Democratic
candidate for President at st, Louis is con.
Gded to intelligent delegates, and we are
confident that the Convention will not err.
The selection of Thurman, Hendricks, Til
den, Parker or Bayard would meet with
hearty approval by the Democratic masses,
yet we must insist that Gen. Hancock has
more elements of strength than any other can.
didate who could be named. ...'..
As Pennsylvania, Of splendid revolu-
tionary stock, his name would assure to the
party the keystone State, and decide the
impending contest. 44sIl.
As a soldier, he stands unrivalled. In the
Peninsula campaign, not only Gen. McClel'
dan, but the army and world said "Han'
cock was superb At Gettysburg he saved
lie battle, and with it our State from plum
der, aud our army from destruction. In fact
until Grant took command, it was the prout
boast of his Corps, that although fiercely
engaged in all the battles fought by tn,
army of the Potomac, his command neve
lost gun nor color. In Grants campaign
towards Richmond, it was his Corps tha
made the celebrated flank movements, anC
that gave Lees army q sta ggering blow

Division of 10000 men, and with it 81 can

Physically, he is magnificent specimen
of a man. Morally, his character is beyond
reproach, and his name has never been con-
nected with mean or disreputabe act. e
And yet, his highest praise is his eivi
record. His administration at New Orleans
proved that he is not only profoundly versed
in'the fundamental rules of government
and thoroughly acquainted with our statute:
and decisions, but understands the true rela.
ton between the civil and military branches
ofour government. During his brief admins
tration he brought order out of chaos, made
the law respected, and so commanded the
respect of the people of the South that they
presented his name as their choice for Pres
ident in 1868. Later, his civil and military
conduct has been such as to endear him tt
the masses of both parties, and no man ha:
such hold upon the popular heart as Gen
Hancock. e4 ..di 7'r.m 1'f .'
With his nomination success would be as
sured. In him the people would see mag
nificent soldier, with a thorough knowledg
of civil administration, -one whose homo
and integrity are above question-with a
:, i uaassailable record, and one who woul
scourge all thieves and scoundrels from th
temple ofpower,

my left side, the pain being but slight at
first, but increasing in severity every day
until it was almost impossible for me to fol.
low my avoeation without great suffering
aud the most excrueiating pain. have
tried almost every known remedy without
receiving the least relief. My brother hav-
ing been afflicted with splitting Of blood and
all the tendencies Of consumption, and hav.
ing been cured by DIR, WIsTAR's BALsAM or
| WILD CHERRY, recommended il to me and
at once commenced using il with the most
satisfactory results. Ny pain is gradually
growing less and | feel much better than
have for some time past As long as the
BAIsAM does as much 10 restore my health
as it has done thus far, so long shall con.
tinue using il, and would advise all afIlic,
ted with diseases to give It a trial. re
