The leader Of the workiogmen's party IN
yncbburr-one Of the few places in the State
10 which that party has developed itself--is an
individual named Moore, from Maine. Secret
political organizations like the Workingmen' 8

are not indigenous to the South, and like all
cxotics can have but al ephcmera existence.
They are Invariably trsnspianted from that Sec
ton tf the country which gives origin to all the
isms of the age, and which delights to honor
such human moustrositics as Senator Blaine
AMI General Butler. and rarely extcnd as Tar
South as Virginia, but when they do, as IN the
case Of Know Notbiogism, the uncopgenial c-
mate always proves fatal to them. 10 this con-
ne,ton it may be remarked that the working.
mems party OF Baltimore seems to be doomed

have come to hand
The Forest struck the Avalanche between

Forest, though utterly wrecked, kept ahoat an

is lost. The Avalanche had sixty.thrce passen-

and twenty third class-mosly coloDiss. The
accident occurred st go o clock Tuesday night,
s:vcn miles off Portland.
The latest particulars show that over one

London, Sept. l3-Further details concern.
ipg the collision OF tho ships Avalanche and
Forest show that it took place at 9l5 o'clock
On Tuesday night, dozen miles southwest OF
Portland. Both ships we're beating down the
chanrcl, but on opposite tracks. The Forest
struck the Avalanche amidships, reboundcd
and struck her twice, further off, causing her
to founder in about three minutes from the
first striking. There was no time to launch
the boats. The night was so dark that 1t Was
| almost impossible to discern the mass OF human
| beings struggling 10 tho water below, but the
survivors say they shall never forget the scene.
The sea must have been literally alive with hu-
man beings, whose cries for help could not OBJ
tain any response. There was steady drlz2le,
with occasional driving gusts Of raIn. The wind
was strong and The sea very high. The cries
were heard by the crew ofthc Forest, but they
| were unable to render any assistance. The
Forest was very leaky, the water gaining so
fast that the crew had to abandon her, Three
boats were launched, and in these the whole
crew Of the Forest, as Captain Lockhart sup
posed, with three men belonging to the Ava
lanchc, took places. Itappears. however, that

At that Time however, rescus was hopeless.
and the poor fellows had to be left to their late,
the wind and sea being so rough that tho men
thought their boat would be swamped every
minute Unfortunately, in the case OF two OF
the three boats, there ls too much reason Tor
believing these Tears have been realized.

twenty.eieht horses, eleven sluaws and two
bucks on the Sd instant The Warm Springs
left because Pionemar ordered them TO 90. No

ing that amount would make q total Of $751; 800
per annum for Richmond. Add to that $50 goo
for specific licenses and tax not collectable by
the register, and the aggregate would be SILL
200. Ordinarily Richmond pays one fifth of the
LIQUOR tax of tho State. There is in this case
reason to suspect that the law will not be IS

therefore, say We will pay one fourth of the
whole amount. and We have an entire amount
for the State Of over $500, COO per annum.

then were all VINO LOOK part IN tncSc urst DaC'
ties Of the great conflict. You remember and
can never forget the feelings OF sadness with
which We saw the remains OF our dead comrades
gathered up and placed in their last resting
place. They were gathered up, you know. by
the parties detailed to bury the dead, carefully,
respectfully, teuderly, and when the shallow
grave had been dug aud in their uniforms they
had been laid away and covered, then their
comrades looked about to see what mcmento
they could leave, and then LETT little fragments,
frail fragments of cracker boxes, marking with
pencil the name ofthe regiment and company
of the dead comrade, hoping that they would
10 some way be useful, little perhaps dreaming
at the time that to the private soldier should
be erected with granite and marble and brass
such q structure as We now behold, and behold
the change. Instead of that little fragment,
perishable and fragile, we have these enduring
monuments forever TO gaze upon. How elorl-

growth in the sentiment Of all mankind OF the
apprecistion of the work that those men did
Then we hardly knew what was to be the re-
suit of it all, but now We know that these men
were fighting the battle of freedom tor all man
kind. Now we know that they have saved TO
liberty and to peace the best part OF the best
continent on the globe. lCheers. AS this
work compared with the frail cracker box me-
mortal, so does the work which they have done
compare with any conception of it which We
then could have had. Forever hereafter We
shall remember the American private soldier as
having established free nation. where every
man has an equal chance and fair start in the
race of life. Applause. This is the work of
the American private soldier, and as that mon
ument teaches many lessons let US not forget
