Senators Cameron and Conkling.
CHICAGO, September 18th. The Inter
Oceans Washington special says: A gentle
man in this city, who saw Senator Cameron
of Pennsylvania few days ago, says the
Senator's sympathies are heartily enlisted in
General Garfeld's success. The old Came
roman method Of '.still hunt is still kept
up, and the young Pennsylvania Senator is
watching the dials with exceeding interest,
particularly in the Harrisburg Congressional
District, where Colonel Barr, Senator Came
ron's private secretary, is the candidate for
Congress.
The same gentleman says that Senator
Conkling, few days ago, told Congressman
Storm of New York that, after the campaign
has ended, the Republican party would have
no cause to say that he had been apathetic in
the canvass. The Senator just now is bur
dsned with several important law cases,
which he expects to dispose of within the
next fortnight, when he will go West and
make speeches in Ohio and Indiana.

New YoRK, September 13th.-O. p. Silva,
one OF the survivors of the Vera Cruz, in re-
lating the story of that disaster, says Those
who went on deck could see that the officers
were pacing about the ship attending to their
duties. Captain Vansice had been in con-
sultation with another Captain on board,
who, as l learned, was going to take COM
mand of another vessel, and they agreed as
to the best course to keep the ship on. The
Captain was cool and courageous throughout,
and there is no ground to believe that he did
not remain at his post till taken off by super
human agency. A sailor says he saw the
Captain struck by piece of the wreck and
probably stunned, as he was swept off by the
same wave before the eyes Of the sailors.
