Great loss of Life. u the 20th of September, the Enzlish troon ship Charlotte, from Calcutta to Queenstown, was wrecked on a reef iu Algoa bay. At the time there were on board of the Charlotte a detachment of the 27th regiment, consisting of ine iofiowing officers: Uapt, Stapylton, Uapt. Warner, Lieut. Maguire, Ensign White, Dr KMd, 1G8 rank and file, 14 women, and 21 children. The unfortunate ship struck on a reef i4 the sight of crowds of spectators, who ren- nireu every assistance possible wittrlifc-boats aid Manby's apparatus, but in spite of all their elbrts she soot! ;went- to - pieces, and all the (liildren who were oh 'board, excepting one, perished. On the srirrivorsbeing mustered, it was ascertained that out of 168 rank and file about 18 were saved. Of the crew, which con sisted of 24, only Capt. Affleck, his son, the first mate, ship's butcher, cook, steward, and two others were saved. The total drowned is thus stated: Rauk and file, 62; women, 11; chil dren, 26; crew, 18 total, 117. L.i.ixoirf Legislature Democratic. The fn sioiiists iu the Illinois legislature, who have been for tome time jubilant over their majority of one ii joint ballot, have had the tables turued on tleiu handsomely, by the miscarriage of a movement intended to benefit one of themselves. It setms that Air Lineolu, a member from San gamon county, seeing that he held the balance of pover in tne election of United States sen ator to succeed General Shields, conceived the idea f becoming a candidate himself, and with that tiew (not liking to rote for himself) re-si-iued, intending to slip in a friend who would carry out his purpose. But some how or other thethiiiggot out among the democrats, and they, preferring General Shields to Mr Lincoln, or anybody else at this juncture, organized themselves effectively, carried their candidate, changed the complexion of the legislature, and secured, in all probability, the return of the gallant soldier and statesman whom it was the darling object of the fasionists to defeat. Wifsh. Uttio-n. DrThe National Intelligencer publishes a protest from Mr Molina, the Costa Ilican Minister, against the proposed expedition of Col Kinney, and takes occasion to say that its original advocacy of the scheme was in ignorance of the fact that Costa Rica had claims in that quarter.

IX Arrisou, the young medical student, convicted at Ciuciunati of "murder iu the first degree" in causing t he deaths of Mr and Mrs Allison, by means of an iufernal machine," having leeii refused, he whs called up on Saturday last, to receive sen tence, when he addressed the court in a cool collected manner, giving some of the reasons why lie desired a new trial, and declared that he could establish his innocence. When he concluded, Judge Flinn, in the presence of a crowded court room, sentenced lain to lie hunir on the 1 1 tli of May next. The prisoner heard his terrible doom without the least apparent emotion, and was conveyed back to prisou in charge of a strong guard. Gone to the wars. Last week (savs the Boston Telegraph) a young American engineer, of talent and skill, who had successfully served in the navies of England, Russia and the Unit ed States, sailed from this port for Europe, in response to tenders made him by the Kmperor of uli the Russias atruin to enlist in his service. The offers were of the most advantageous and flattering character. lie took with hiin some (if teen or twenty - young men, whom he had enlisted as associates, and who for a few months back have been in training under his experienced and skilful instruction. It is well known that the Emperor has long appreciated American talent, and is now making it available when ever possible. Remarkable Death. A correspondent furn ishes the following account of a singular acci dent and death which occurred in a neighbor ing county a short time since : Adam Mong, of Pendleton county, residing near Mallow's Mill, left his house a few days ago, and called at a store in order to purchase some articles; and among others, he bought an axe and placed it in his side pocket, underneath his overcoat. . He left the store and returned homeward. After having travelled some two miles be came in sight of his house, when he dismounted, complaining very much of a pain in bis side. His wife saw his manner and came to his assistance, very much alarmed. lie en deavored to allay her excitement by telling her that it was only a retnrn of his old com plaint, "the stitch in the side.' After reach ing his home, his son discovered blood upon his pantaloons. After examination it was dis covered that the axe had cut entirely through the abdomen, and peuetrated the intestines ! Medical aid was immediately called in but all efforts that skill and .science could effect were unavailing. After lingering in great agony for two days he expired. -, Mr Long was a man of exemplary character and deportment, and leaves behind him a heart stricken widow, and four fartherless children. Rockingham Register. Collateral security in Arkansas. Banks in Arkansas manage business in a rather primi tive manner. Some one writes that before he could get a fifty-dollar note discounted, he had to" deposits as "collateral" two cook stoves and a cross-cot saw. We would like to know the difference between sneli a bank and a Chatham street pawn broker's shop. ; Dr. Brarihon, of Sheffield, England, has been making some valuable experiments in soap as; a means of art. He says that a drawing may be exeeated with a bard point on a smooth piece of soap,' almost as readily as an ordinary drawing with a lead pencil. Every touch is clear( sharp, and : well defined.- ' When the drawing is finished, a cast may be taken from the surface in, plaster, or, better still,, by press ing the soap . firmly into heated gutta percba ; in the latter, several impressions may be taken without injuring the soap, so as to admit of proofs being -taken and corrections made. It wil even !ear being pressed into melted seal-big-wax ifitboat injury. . From the Raleigh Standard. ' Bantu and Currency. " We pnblish below the first of a series of conv mnnications on the subject of Batiks and Currency- a sobject at this" time of much, impor tance to the people of the State. These com munications are from the pen of one of the ablest men of this or any other State, and will be read with interest by all, and with approval, we donbt not, by many of our citizens. ... It is not to be inferred, however, that in giving place to the favors of correspondents, we are thereby committed for or against the yiewt they ad vance. Let free and full discussion be had, and then let the people or their representatives, as the case may be, decide for themselves j To the Editors of the Standard ; ! -; The numerous propositions, pending before the Legislature in regard to Banks for the renewal of charters and the increase of the capi tal of the existing Banks, and the gfauting of new charters, are calculated to excite, and have excited in the public mind serious apprehen sions as to the currency4 These fears are the more alarming f rom what you say' in your last paper "that the Committee on Banking have determined to report all the bills on the subject which had been referred to them, leaving to the Legislature to decide which and how many Banks should be established." And yon further add, by way of information, that besides the applications for the renewal of the charters of the Bank of the State and the Bank of Cape Fear, there are likewise applications for char ters for the People's Bank, with & capital of five millions Bank of Goldsborongh Bank of Wilmington Bank of Plymouth Bank of Clarendon Central Bar of North Carolina Bank of Halifax, and the Ba nk of Pittsborough ; to which may be added a general bill for Free Banking. You do not state, nor have I been able to learn the amount of Banking capital which it is thus proposed to create. As two of them arc to have five millions each, I take it the other eight cannot be so modest as to ask for less than a quarter of a million each, which would be two millions more making in all the sum of tilue millions of new Banking capital. We have now ten Banks, with a capital as re ported of five millions five hundred thousand dollars in round numbers, with authority as I believe to go to six hundred thousand. If this is not calculated to alarm the most hartfened Bank advocate, he must indeed be Bank mad. Grant the two charters, as I un derstand it is proposed, of live millions each the one to be founded upon stocks, State bonds, and Railroad stocks, and the other upon 1 know uot what, with a branch in each county in the State, which shall be able to raise and subscribe two hundred thousand dollars and if it docs not end in another Mississippi bubble, to the ruin of the enrre ncv, then I shall ac knowledge myself a false prophet. I have no fears that the Legislature .an be so inconsider ate and so wanting in foresight, as to grant these different applications; but it is because they have been made, and as you say the Com mittee on Banking have decided to report them back to the body in which they originated, that I have resolved to ask a place in your much crowded columns. It is possible mv facts and arguments may startle some, and excite the displeasure of others; but I am resolved to sneak out to speak the truth, and leave to others to examine my facts, to correct t hem if erroneous, to weigh my reasoning, answer it if fallacious not by hard words or cmpt' de nunciation, but by satisfying those who may feel interested in the subject that I am wrong. My object is the truth, and the protection of the community against what 1 honestly believe to be serious injury to the currency, and con sequent loss to the people of the State. PUBLIUS. Vermont and the Fugitive Slave Law. ; The Legislature of Vermont has passed the following act, which is intended, no doubt, to obstruct the officers of the Oencral Government iu the execution of the fugitive slave law: ; Section 1. Every person who shall falsely and maliciously declare, represent or pretend that any free person within this State is a slave, or owes service or labor to any person or persons, with intent to procure or to aid and assist in procuring the forcible removal of such free persons from the State as a slave, shall pay a line of three thousand dollars, and be im prisoned in the State prison not less thau five years: Frovidcd, That nothing iu this act shall be construed as applying to any claim of service from an apprentice for a fixed term. Sec. 2. jio declaration, representation, or pretense that any person, being or having been in this State, is or has been a slave, shall be deemed proved except by the testimony of at least two credible witnesses, testifying to facts directly tending to establish the truth of such declaration, representation,' or pretense; and every person who, upon any trial arising under this act, shall falsely and wilfully represent or pretend, with intent to aid any party accused under this act, that any person was or is a slave, or owes or did owe service or labor to any person or persons, shall pay a fine of three thousand dollars, and be imprisoued in the State prison uot less than five years. Sec. 8. On the trial of any prosecution aris ing under this act, no deposition shall be re ceived as evidence of the truth of any state ment contained in such deposition. Sec. 4. Every person who shall obstruct any officer in the service of any warrant issued in accordance with this act, or who shall aid in the escape of any one arrested under this act, while pnrsued by snch officer, or in his custody, shall be imprisoned in the State prison not less than one year ; : 'Sambo, I'se got a conumdibus to promulgate to you.'

The Tribunal of Correctional Police lately tried . a man named Morand for robbery. He had, it appeared fallen in love with Mademoi selle Celiue; but she would not consent to look favorably on his passion,, unless he would fur nish a room for her. As he was without a far thing in the world, find had nbt ti place to iodge in himself, her requirement was not easy to fulfil. However, he set his wits to work, -and hit upon a plan for getting a snpply of furniture. He went to a respectable hotel, and demanded a room on the first floor, because, lie said, he had received on injury in the foot which prevented him from going up .higker His. appearance did not seem particularly pron Ising to the concierge, and she called on him to pay in advance, or at least to leave something as a pledge. ? . .

In the dead of the night, he, by means of cords secfe--ted beneath his blouse, let down into the street the mattress, bed, bedding, chairs, table, clock, and everything else the room contained; and they were all carried off by an accomplice.. The man then let himself down into the street. But as it struck him that it would be iiicouven ient to walk without his boots, he resolved to get them. Knocking loudly at the door, he cried: "Open open! some man is letting down fur niture from a window!" "What window?" cried the concierge, open ing the door. "On the first floor!"' "Oh, that is the fellow who came in last night I suspected him!" cried the woman, and she rushed up stairs. s The man then quietly took his boots, which were in the lodge, and walked off The next morning he wrote a flaming epistle to M'lle Celine, offering her the furniture and his heart But the police got a clue to his whereabouts, and arrested him. The tribunal condemned him to a year's imprisonment. Tne True American Party. Some of the political organs of the old whig" party are talking of organizing a true American parly. We are aware of the fact that the whigs, asa puffy, never believed their own or the democratic organization to be American, or they would not have abandoned the one or abused the other. But a large majority of the American people have long and truly felt, thnt the democratic party was the true American party of the country. It has only been by de ception, trick and hombttg, that they hare ever" even temporarily changed this opinion. If to preserve the constitution in all its parts, to keep the centripetal and ceutrifftgal forces of the Federal Government in a just equilibrium j if to regard scrupulously the rights of the States, and to secure the greatest liberty to the citizen, consistent with the requirements of the Con stitution, and to regard with a jealous eye the channels to the public Treasury, by which mj dividuals and corporate bodies seek an entrance' to it ; if to have preserved the national honor" without a stain against foes and traitors at home;' if to have done these filings, and others that might be enumerated of equal significance, en titles a part- to be called American, then does? the demoeratie party truly merit the honor. It has been the peculiar province of the Democratic party to maintain the honor of these United States, when fearfully and malignantly assailed. To do this, it has On more than one occasion, been forced to resort to the stern ultimatum of war. And in these various strug gles to preserve Unsullied the flag of oar country , it has met with internal resistance frjoin the very men and the very party that are now talV-' ing of organizing an American parly. An American party, indeed I What for? To-side with the enemy when his Armies and Navies are thundering at 6W doors? An American party, to rob one half of this Union to enrich the other? An American party, to desecrate and defile that instrument, upon the preserva tion of which, in alf its parts, depends all that is worthy to be called American? It is that what an American party should be? We have' had already a touch of that American party under the old and otherwise respected cognomen of Whig.., We want no more of it, however' specious the pretext,-however' plausible the shape" in which it ctfmes to us.- Ifthe Demoefatic parfv cannot pilot the". Government safely throngu the breakers and quicksands that lie in its pathway, we despair of finding another more competent to do this. It has certainlv. in the past.- been the "cloud bv day and pillow of fire by night'? to our fathers, who lave, by devotion to its chart and un wearied and uiireittkted zal in support of its great doctrines, decided its destiny and con summated its glory. Such a party was not born in a day, and cannot be killed in a day. A party that boasts as itsfatfrer a JeffersoiiMadi son, Monroe and Jackson, a mother like the Constitution, and snch a history as the Demo cratic Party, will not "pale its ineffectual fires"' before the rush lights that every six or eight years flash up through the sockets of the old Whig skeleton. It is one of the besetting sins of Whiggery, .that it has1 no "local habitation," -and, some times, not even a name-alwoys changing;: never settled on any platform for eight years at a time. , The Demoefatie party, however it may have been affected by a domestic question (and in thfes respect it is faf less affected thai the Whig) it has its national platform its or ganic systen,- ifr which ate embodied principle and polity' to be applied to the government of the conntry, all of Which,- so long bitterly op posed by the Whigs, have lived to gain their" silent if not public approbation. - While, then, onr principles live, as fresh as in the days of Jackson, and with faf less opposi tion -while they look to the Constitution for rt basis, and to the hearts of th people for sup port, a party will be found to incorporate them and perpetuate them. Such a party is Amer' can party enough for vs. MUledgeriUe - Federal Union. v.-" ''"'' "j1 The world holds its breath while it gazes on this appalling carnage of the Crimea. - End ri it may; on which sidoever Victory may toDallv declare.
