president answered from Galesourg. Ill

he was under prior engagement TO be the
guest of Governor Murray, and hoped
the city authorities were acting in con-

Vera Cruz are fully confirmed, for fey
survivors have happily escaped death
and are now safely on shore. The i'll
fated steamer foundered at halEpast fiv
Sunday morning, in the midst Of q hui

when the steamer left New York, onl
thirteen are known to have been saved
so that fifty-Seven souls persisted. Their
is very little hope that any addition wi
be made to the list of survivors, for 8

any more to be found alive.
