NEW YORK, Oct. 2i.-The steamer Atlas,
of the Atlas line, last evening off Eesey
street, was struck on the starboard bow by
the ferryboat Central and ten minutes
later sank. The Atlas was coming up the
river at q low speed as there was fog.
About 500 yards out from the docks the
bow of the Central crashed into the Atlas
and bent the iron plates like so many
pieces of board. For second or two the
Atlas trembled and listed and then began
to sink. bow first, so that soon the pro-
peller was out of the water. When the col
Hsion occurred all hands on board the At
las were ordered on deck The engineer
obeyed the summons without stopping the
engine, and the propeller whirled round
and round in the air. In this position the
steamer remained for about five minutes,
then plunged forward and went down,
apparently settling on an easy keel. The
crew and all hands took to the rigging,
and a tugboat steamed alongside ana took
off all on board.
The Atlas had a cargo Of II 900 punches Of

Much good-natured raillery has been
INDUCED in at the expense OF Queen
Victoria, owing to her invariable habit
Of giving but one present on all occa-
sions. Her Cashmere shawls are looked
for by every relative who marries, and
by every high court lady who is speci-
ally honored by her. They are gifts
worthy of Queen, however, for they
are the most beautiful articles made
for women to wear, and cost more than
any other single garment. The shawls
of Cashmere are justly celebrated
throughout the world for their extreme
brilliancy and elegance. These shawls
occupy pre-eminent place among tex
tile products: and the Cashmere shawl
trade is'of the highest antiquity and
its flowing curves and minute flowers,
peculiar to these shawls, is well
known. The unrivaled excellence OF
the manufacturers of Cashmere is attri-
buted to certain properties in the
water of that country; for. though
great pains have been taken to manu-
facture similar shawls in other places.
they have never the delicate texture
and softness of those of Cashmere.
The hair of the Cashmere goat is
longer than that of the Angora ami
NAL. and not. like it, curled into ring
lets, but straight. A single goat
yields only about three ounces; so that
the fieeces of ten goats are required
for the manufacture of a shawl yard
and half square. The hair is spun
by women. and dyed after it is spun.
Sixty thousand individuals are en-
ployed in Cashmere making shawls,
though the number of looms, which
two hundred years ago amounted to
forty thousand. has been reduced, to
sixteen thousand, producing annually
about eighty thousand shawls.
A shop-shed or tent in Cashmere has
generally three working people, and a
remarkably fine shawl will occupy
them a whole year or more to make.
OF the best kind three people will
work only about a quarter of an inch
in day. The plain shawls are woven
with shuttle; the variegated ones are
worked with wooden needles, each diff
ferent colored thread having distinct
needle. The ''oostand," or head work

of the shawl is uppermost on the
frame, and the pattern perhaps quite
new, he never mistakes the regularity
of the most figured patterns. Seine

pieces, and afterward Joined together

THE sEvER STRIKE.
Arrival of a Detachment of Sv-Scs I
Ioomis & Sniveiy.

Loomis & Sniveiy.
MACON. No., Get. 25.-Forty more Swedes
from Chicago, in charge of Lewis LOOMS,
were landed at BeNer yesterday after
noon. and were taken into the stockade
near the depot and will at once be put to
work by Loomis s Sniveiy in mine No. !.
where the men brought there when Gen.
eraI Jamisou was at Bevier are working.
Sheriff Draper came down from Bevier and
met the men at Macon and returned with
them. The striking miners, not knowing
the new men were coming, there were
few of them at the depot, but a crowd
soon gathered there, though the new
men were not molessed. A number OF
the other Swedes in mine No. came up
out OF the mine into the stockade and told
the men it was good place to work and
fair wages were made by them. Soon
afterwards quite number of the Swedes
who arrived yesterday went out OF the
stockade into the street, and then some OF
the striking miners talked with them and
told them of their circumstances, condition
and efforts of the strike, in manner having
a tendency to discourage them from going
to work, but the new Swedes paid more
attention to those who are now working
for Loomis s. Snively. and will go to
work. Sheriff Draper and Deputy Clark
are both there on duty now.
