PILFERING Pilots.

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-The Herald pub
fishes the following from st. Augustine,
Fla: The main part of the wrecked
steamer Vera Cruz was beached on Anas-
tasia Island, some twelve miles from the
city, near Metanzas, and her freight
strewed on the beach the entire length of
the island, and also on the north beach
(main land) for several miles. The
freight was very valuable and came ashore
in great quantities. The pilots of St.
Augustine, of which there are five, were
the first to discover that the wreck had
occurred, and what was of more conse-
quence to them the vast amount of freight
already beached and more coming. They
at once formed themselves into joint
stock company for the time and went for
that freight with a vim, Monday and
Tuesday, Aug. 80 and 81. They kept
the matter of the wreck profound secret
and it was secret well kept, for so it
was until the night of the 31st In the
meantime the pilots had worked both day
and night having entire possession of both
beach and cargo. They managed to have
many good pile stored up at different
points of the beach, worth thousands Of
dollars. Several trunks belonging to
passengers came ashore in good order,
only to be broken open and rifed. One
evidently belonged to lady of wealth,
for it was filed with costly silks, dia-
monds and clothing of the finest order,
aud laces worth many dollar; gold
watch and chain, and also two valuable
bracelets were found in this trunk. In
another trunk large pocketbook well
filled with bills was found by these fortu-
nate pilots. In fact they had a bonanza
and they worked it for all it was worth,
having gold watches, diamonds, well-fll-
ed wallets, elaborate clothing and many
tons of valuable freights as their reward.
Indeed, the latter was in such vast pro-
portions that teams were employed for
several days in hauling their find, and
large lighters were loaded with produce.
When the matter leaked out last Tues
day night the whole city was alive with
excitement. Everybody that had boat
or could borrow or press one into service
hied away to the beach; nor was this
wrecking fever confined to the vagabonds
and negroes, but business men and clerks
for the time turned wreckers and the
beach was thronged with anxious hunters
for the cast up treasures of the sea and
notwithstanding the pilots had the cream
Of the find and only gleanings remained,
yet enough was gathered to repay them
all richly and enable the major part of
the population to dispense with hog,
mullet, and homipy and live on ham, pre-
serves, canned goods and wash it down
with either wine or ale. Many camped
on the beach all night. A bag of mail
matter was found Sept. l. Being duly
cut open and examined and nothing
found in it worth keeping it was handed
over to the postmaster. Several bodies
were washed ashore. After being in
spected and plundered they were buried
in the sand on the beach. The corpse of
young lady came ashore on whose per-
son was dress of rich silk and on whose
finger was valuable solitaire diamond
ring. She was buried on the beach after
being rifed of her valuables.

Anti-PettigroN!
So say the Republicans
OF Union County.
Money cannot
Bpy Honest Men.

Last Tuesday was ! field day III
this county, and the result is q
grand victory for the parties oppos-
ing Pettigrew. For about six weeks
he md his friends have been roam4
ing over this county slsing money,
fighting and blackmsiling his oppo-
nents and carryin NC on ! campaign
not only disgraceful, but out Of the
usual course Of square dealing. The
fight was forced on the people Of
Union county: By reason Of the
course taken by several local politi-
clans IN wasing i fight on particular
men, and trying, in various ways, 10
work discussions in the party.
There were many things discredita-
BILE to Pettigrew's campaigning in
this county that could be mention-
ed, but as the victory against him
has been 30 complete, the CouRrER
considers its work done in the mat
mer, and has no unkind words to
say against those who gave him
their support. There were some
who worked for Pottigrew conscien-
tiously, and for these we have no
criticism, A man has a right to
his honest views. The matter is
squarely settled as far as Pettigrew
is concerned in this county.
The caucusses all over the county
were large and quite exciiu The
vote was exceptionally large, the
voters all over the county having
taken a great interest in the cam
vass. In Brule the vote was quite
close, but sends a good anti-P ETH
grew delegation to our county con-
vention. In this city the contest
was far from being close, the vote
being more than two to one against
Pettigrew. In Civil Bend, Sioux
Valley, Big Sioux, and Prairie town.
ships tie walk away was easy and
complete.
At the time we write this we have
not heard from the other townships,
but it is safe to say that Pettigrew
has not carried township in the
county. A large majority Of the
votes are now in.
