This is the great disaster of the half
century ; not since th Bri.ish frigates. St
Lreorge aud IJcteucc were wrecked off the
coast of Jutland, in 1811, has atiy such
frightful loss of life beeu added to the sor
row pf the sea. In that wreck 2,000 men
were drowned. '1 he sinking of the Royal
George off Spithead, in 1372, whenAdui:r
al Kempemleldt went down with his COO
men, was long celebrated in sore: and
story as the great catstrophe by sea for
many generations. . 1 he I wrecking of thc
liayiil Charter, on the Aiiglesea coast, in
lb59, when 446 lives and much treasure
ffirtj lost, sent a thrill of ! horror through
out the civilized world. That same year.

Lord Cornwallis Paiiolk Rom
time ago says the Richmond H7i, of 19 h,
inst we mentioned that Col. Thos. H.
Wynne, of the State' Library' Committee,
had purchased. in New York city the
original of the parole given by Lord Corn-
wallis on his surrender at Yorktown to
Gen. Washington. Yesteiday this inter
sting relic of the past was received at the
library aud is as follows :
"I, Charles Earl Corn wallis. Lieutenant
General aud Commander of His Brittau-
uick Majesty's forces, do acknowledge
myself a prisouer of war to the United
States of America, and having permission
from His Excellency, Gen. Washington,
agreeable j to capitulation, to proceed to
New York and C'harlestown, or either, and
to EuroDe. do uledeumv faith and word
of honor, that I will not flo or say any
Hung injurious to the sa d United States
or armies thereof, or their allies, until exs
changed ; I do further promise that when
ever required by the CommanderiiirChief
of the American army, or ihe Commissary
of Prisoners for the same, I will repair to
such place or places as they -or either o:
them may require."

ECONOMY AS AX EXCUSlI FOU MtTKDEK
One of the principal caii3es for. the loss
of the ship may be set down to the lack
of coal to reach this port II is a well
known fact that the price of coal in Eng
land is very high, aud that the trauslan
tic lnes buy largely on ibis side, and en
deavor to take over somuthiug of a sup
ply to bring them back to this side. It
is also true that much of the coal furnish
ed at thc present time on the ollu r side is
of a; very poor quality, and will not make
8 team as ireely as the v ejsh coals usually
J furnished to t he first-class steam lines.
Another cause for the disaster ia that the
vessel was considerably out of her true
course, either for Halifax or New York,
and the Captain evidently! had been run
ning well north to shorten up his longi
tude. The practice has long been dis
countenanced by the principal lines, and
n some instances the captain positively
forbidden to take the. high latitude route
which the Atlantic evidently had taken.

From Dr. Patrick, a prominent Rich

which contains interesting aud profitable
information to the farmeis in thia section :
"We liave handed this season. 500 or
600busiels of Beans grown in your sec

buy Mixed B.-aus. In the select ion of
White Beans pet the roundest and whitest

AN EN JIN E OF DEATH.
One Thousand Shots a Minute from a
Pen nessee Milrailleur.
From the N. Y. Times of the 20th ult.
Yesterday, at Holskiu's machine shop,
corner of Cherry and Jt fTersou streets, a
trial was made of a new mitrailh-ur inven

features, which distinguished il from the
Gatlin or Imperial luilradlcurs. One lm
portaut one is that the gun barrels are in
a water casing, so thai the heating ot
the bain Is is impossible, 1 he other is
that the 24 barrels, starting at the breecb
iu a circle, at thier muzzle., are trronp. d
iu an ellipse. By this means a lateral or
h- r oi zonial range is given inste id of on i i
which other runs of a similar character
throw the prijc tiles, up aud down, at
riphl aujflt-s with the trrouud. The de
vice for loading ia exceedingly novel. It
is self-charging, something like the Henry
itie. Metallic cartridge are placed in
hollow tubes, which arc fed up to the
chambt ra by tho motion' of a lever. A
most ingenijus device is used for firing,
and ou moving the crank aud : jiifiiug a
simple mechanism, the luilraillcur may

bers, each one o: which can be put ins t an
tiy iu possiiion, fired and clean d of its
cartridges. In the fusillade filing as ex
hibited yesteiday, it discharged about 700
rounds a minute ; w-Immi fired in a volley
about 1,000. The calibre f cartridge used
was 44. and at a distance of 300 ards the
