SAN Diego, Call, Sept. 10.--The
British ship Port Crawford which ar
rived from New Castle, Australia, Cit
countered a terrific hurricane on Sep
TENDER 3D., in latitude 140 north, longi-
tudn 11.17o west.
The ship was eastward bound with
all sails set, in fair weather when a
suuall of tremendous violence struck
the vessel from the westward, carrying
away nearly all the sails, throwing two
men on tho deck and badly bruising
them and flooding the cabin and fore
castle, SCATTERING the lifcboat and blow-
ing away all the covers. Everything
movable on deck was lost or smashed.
Captain Edwards said the seas rolled
over his vessel rs though she We're
rock in rnidocean. After the squall had
subsidized, the SEA, which arose almost as
quickly as the wind, became terrible.
The wind shifted TO the south and blew
u gale for AS hours, carrying the ship
along under almost bare poles for 400
miles. All the sails left on tho ship were
the lower. main and mizzen topsails,
piece of the foretopsai and half of the
foresail.
Captain Edwards decided to run be-
fore the gale instead of laying to and the
speed of the ship was not apprecably
lessened by the fact that she was scud-
ding under bare poles.

OF the spine in supporting the body in its

Editor The gazette: We are in re-
coipt of a communication from man in
INDECENT circumstances, who states
that series of misfortunes several years
ago, caused him to fall from the posi-
ton of president of q, large manufacture
ing concern which was fostered and
kept alive by the insidious taxing of the
consumer by means of the Republican
monopoly.protecting tariff, until now
he is an inmate of county almshouse.
He laments his lot bitterly, because of
his humbled condition, and because of
the hosts Of old friends that he has lost.
People who once were proud to speak
to him now pass him coldly by, and do
not see him. Even his nearest relatives
seem ashamed Of him, and he frankly
confesses that he feels somewhat
ashamed of himself, although he can
not tell why.
"Think for moment" he says, sin
the days of my prosperity l taxed the
people $4,000 day by means of pro-
tective tariff, to keep me in princely
luxury, and then l was sought for,
esteemed by the community, and re-
spected everywhere. Now am only an
expense to one county, and cost that
county only 80 cents day for my sup
port, yet all men now pity me or pass
me by in scorntul contempt"
1t is no wonder that our friend feels
troubled, for all he says is true, and yet
his case is only another illustration of

mind to become Oblivious to the true
nature of things that are carried on, on

old story of Alexander the Great and
the poor Thracian robDer enacted over

We can console our friend, however,
with the comforting assurance that the
people are beginning to see his special
case in its true light. The public feels

We arc willing to support in comfort
our INDECENT poor, but the pauper who
fattens upon us by the class protecting

struck, and already renewed pros
