THE STEAMSHIP CITY OF VERA CRUZ FoUNDERED
OPP THE FLORIDA CoAsr-ovER FIFTY LIVES
LosT-THE SHIP AND CARGO A TOTAL LOSS.
The steamship City of Vera Cruz was
wrecked in cyclone of the Florida coast on
Sunday, Aug %. Fears of her loss were
first entertained on Tuesday of last week
when masses of wreckage and five bodies
were washed ashore below ST. Augustine,
Fla. On Saturday steamer arrived at Jack
sonville having on board some of the surviv-
ors, and from them the story of the disaster
was learned On Saturday, 2sth ult., a
strong gale was encountered which steadily
increased until Sunday morning, when the
waves began breaking over the vessel, tore
away her deck, and let the water in on the
fires and stopped the working of the engines
so that the ship was left at the mercy of the
waves in the trough of the sea. The officers
and crew were one by one swept overheard
in their efforts TO save the vessel The cap
tain persisted fully an hour before the steam
err finally succumbed. The few remaining
alive on board finally saw that there was no
hope so they took to the life-preservers, the
hfe-boats having already disappeared. The
sailors and passengers then seized fragments
of spars state-room doors or any other NOV
able article that would float and awaited the
end all knew TO be at hand. By the time the
shipwrecked men aud women had equipped
themselves with their impromptu buoys the
final catastrophe occurred, il being then $50
A. NJ. With one awful and tremendous lurcb
the steamer suddenly sank into the ocean, the
swirl carrying down many of the living. The
survivors butieted with the waves for from "a
to 20 hours. The saved include three passen-
gers, eight deck hands, an engineer and an
oiler. The steamers cargo was valued at
100000.
Ldter.-It now turns out that the wreck of
the Vera Cruz was discovered by the pilots
Of st. Augustine, Florida, two days before
they announced its occurrence, aud that in
the meantime they secured and appropriat
ed several thousand dollars worth of proper
ty ritling trunks and securing such large
amounts of valuables that teams were en-
ployed for several days in hauling away the
plumber. AS soon as the fact of the wreck
was generally known crowds went out from
IT. Augustine and secured all they could lay
their hands on, even robbing the bodies of
the dead

The Brat,ieDoro Democratic Vote.

The BrattIeDorO Democratic Vote.
The Republicans of Brattleboro have no
occasion to feel other than well satisfied with
tho local result of Tuesdays election, not
wthstanding tho fact that they did not poll
so many votes by 80 to 100 as they ought to
have done, and as they certainly might have
done If every man had come out to the polls
ns he ought Nine hundred and forty-seven
votes is a very handsome number, but an
even thousand or 1850 would have been bet
ter. Any regret which we may be tempted
to feel on this point, however is completely
wiped out by the utter discontinue Of the
Democrats at the smallness of their vote.
Ever since the campaign opened they have
boosted loudly, in public and in private, of
their immense gains. Three hundred and
twenty five votes for Phelps was tho very
smallest number to be thought Of. Some of
their leaders even claimed 800 Democratic
votes in Brattleboro, and tried to frighten
supposed doubtful Republicans with these
figures. while others declared that an even
400 voters had signed the Democratic rolls,
and $50 of them were sure to vote for Phelps
on Tuesday. This latter claim was persist
emily and boldly made, even up to the hour
of closing the polls. Imagine the disgust of
these braggadocios, therefOe, when the vote
was declared and it was found that their par
ty had polled less than 800 ballots. No won
der the fellows looked chopfallen and were
ready to go home early when the returns be-
gan to come in from the State and it became
evident that the majority for Farnham was
not less than %, 600!

4 CLEIN SHEEP FOR THE RBPUBLTCi vs.
THRO UGHOUT THE STATE

The story Of the work done by the Yer
mont Republicans in last Tuesdays election
can be briefly told. The Republican victory
is complete and overwhelming. Returns
have been received up to this writing, Friday
noon, from all but four of the 2i1 towns in
the state These returns show plurality FOR
Farnham Of %, POP and majority over all Of
-. 7Os. The footings in full from the 237
towns are: Farnham, A., lSl; Phelps, n PSI;
Heath (Greenback), 1888 The Greenback
vote cannot, in justice, be reckoned against
the Republicans because that vote in this
State is drawn very largely from the Republi-
can ranks. The Republican majority in 1876
was %, 73j. From this it will be seen that
the Republican majority gain over that year
may justly be reckoned at 5000 votes while
the gain over all will probably vary less than
100 votes from a round 1000. Here is glory
enough for one day. The Democrats have
steadily asserted that the Republican majority
would not be over II, 900, or ~, 900 at the
outside.
Three Republican Congressman are elected
by overwhelming majorites.
The Senate is unanimously Republican.
The House is Republican IL to IA larger
proportion of Republicans than it has con
tanned for years.
The three largest towns in the State-Rut-
land, Burlington aud st. Adams that elected
Democrats two years ago, have been redeem
ed Ten towns in Washington county have
been redeemed from the Democrats
This is the answer made by the freemen of
Vermont to the eloquence of rebel brigadiers
and the Democratic charges of Republican
waste and profigacy.
Below We give tabulated returns from Wind
ham and Windsor counties, and with other
details Of the local result

rich before are now drying bread-fruit to
save themselves from starving. All the small
craft along the coast were destroyed, and
most of the houses in the towns Several
churches and other large buildings were
wrecked at Kingston, and the wharves being
all destroyed, including that of the Royal
mail company very substantial structure
The steamship American was driven ashore
and crushed, together with the pier. The
bark Akbar was stove and the schooner
Dauntless sunk, the mate of the latter being
drowned. At Spring Grove only about a doz-
en- houses were left standing, and all the

A gentleman, writing from Port Antonio,
makes the following statement / am writ
ing to You from the midst of a scene of desc
latlon which it is impossible to describe and
which no language can exaggerate On the
18th inst, n hurricane burst over this district,
and moved down the fruits of the earth as if
the angel Of death had passed through the
house inland, l can a distance Of , or 20
miles and can confidently assert that, in the
whole of that space, there is not left grow
ing plant, not a banana, not cane, not a
corn stalk or a yam-vine, and where the cof-
fee trees are not uprooted or broken short of,
the berries have been swept from the branch
es as completely as if picked by the hand.
About noon on Wednesday, the 18th
inst, the wind which had been blowing strong
during all the morning aud the previous day
began to assume an angry tone, and by
O'Clock the gale had increased to full hurri-
cane strength About O'Clock r.
NJ, the people from the noighborhood, whose
houses had been blown over their land, be.
gan to flock to me for protection, and by
o'clock had 81 black people-men, women,
and children -drenched with rain and trem-
bling with fright, huddled together in my
dining-room. At 1920 A. NJ, received the last
of the refugees-an old man and woman,
with a young lad-who were dragged through
a window more dead than alive from expos
ure and terror. The wind about this time
changed to the south west, but the hurricane
had spent its fury and all danger to the house
was past. But the full realization of what
the country and the people had suffered was
reserved for the morning. As far as the eye
could reach it was one waste bowling wilder
ness"-cultivated and uncultivated land alike
were as smooth as if an army Of axe and cut
lass men had passed through them, cutting
down tall trees and little shrubs with unspar-
ing impartialty. The worst part of
all is that the people will have no food for the
next II months.
