MR. WILUAM'S REMARKS. .
W present, on our first page, a bkf fcceunt of
f some remarks of Mr. Wilums, on the subject of
internal improvormmt. 4 Th patriotic wn( ,al"'n
thji gentleman i worthy of all praise, bvcauetit
had much opposition, to ooniend with, from a portion
of hU4rarnediate constituency. . Although politics
hat nothing to do with the subject, we remark, incf
ifontany, that Mr. Williams, is a dejn'ocrat, Nit one
oflhfmany In that, party who ia always courteous
t kia political opponent, and ver uttulns a gentle
mah bearing fowarda them as well as oilier, lie
ia not o the orthodox political church, but he is one
6t" tfie best ot unbeliever.",
Our friends 7 the Journal are like the boy that

al gtattatVt Their error has been corrected in the

one of those fibs that possess a canine tenacity, re

wa ojeenarged from the office of inspector or the

a rtrlnf rrotTfuwWe, If we tnay be permitted tocoin
word for the occasion. They know it in the same
way that the man io the play saw the Spanish flsei;
"in the mind's eye" while his matter-of-fact cotem

0 canst noi see, oecauss us noi in eigiu.
Let it auffioe that we have called on Col. Raskin,
and are assured by him that the fuels stated in the
Journal are not correct. Wc now proceed to explain
the matter.
Mr. Bsiuva was ndt discharged, but expressly
declined retaining the office oj inspector.

JutcrUiig from the Camanche Ntoii.
We learn thaf Intelligence hssboen receivedst the
War Department respecting an Important National
Council recently held by the Camanche Indians.
This Council lasted ten days, and Its object wos to
olect a new chief to rule the nation, (In place of the
ooecMly-leeaad,)nd the individual thus hon
oHklgloripain the name if Bufalo Uhwv- 9t
Ing Instilled into office, after tfie Indian fnalilorr,
this head chief colled upon his subordinates fruel to
express their opinions upon all matters of Impor
tance connected with the affairs of the nntion ;
whereupon many speeches were delivered. They
were generally of the most friendly choracter, but
none moro so than (hat delivered by the newly elec
ted chief hlmoclf. He mtrlntnlned that his people
had oKncrly.niado war upon, Texas when It was
fetble-nrtd alone," and had gained noimngi ana ne
gave it as his opinion thnt If they now continued to
make wsrupon Texas, since It hod become a ftart f
lie United States, the result would b thefr utter de
struction as s nation. Ha also expressed hie deter
mination to do oil in his power to put a stop to the
thieving depredations which had been committed by
a portion of his people against the white inhibitnnts,
and expressed a hope that his efforts would be suc
cessful. The prominent members of the Council
having agreed to the advice of Buffalo Hump, two
subordinate chiefs were appointed to communicate
in person the result of the Council to Capl. Steele,
of the 2d dragoons, at Fredericksburg, by whom a
report was made to Capt. Brooke, commanding it)
Texas, who forwarded it to the War Eeporiment.

Overland Travel to California.
A correspondent of the New York Sun, writing.
from California, says i
"This Gtotd excitement hss caw snd an immense
amount of suffering. A gemlcmap who has recent
ly orrived overland, informs me that there aroat least
eight thousand teams, with four persons to each team,
on the road 32,000 persons. His company darted
with eijht wsgons, only one of which was brought
through. For a distance of one hundred miles they
used hams foriucl. TUey started with. 120,000 worth
of property, but were obliged to throw awsy $15,000
worth of it in order to get along themselves and save
their lives. They I oat nearly oil of their cattle and
mules fur the want of grass. He thinks thp 112,000,000
would be a low estimate for the lose in property, pro
visions, and animals on the ovprlund route alone
Oold thouhl be abundant to defray such losses."

DREADFUL SUFFERING AT SEA.
tv K..a .a,.:...., n I .tier frrtrr Pirnf H.minflr l:itc
-- --.
master ..f the whullou barque Junek of Westuorl,
' . . . .
furnishing nn nccount of the privotiom and Buffer
ing of a boat's crew belonging to the Janet, compri
sing theajaptoin and fle others, which is olmost
without parallel In the annals of the while fishery.
It. is substantially as follows :
On the coast of Pert, 23d June, 1849, in latitude 3
degrees N., 104 W., while cruising f"r whales, a
shoal of sperm whales appe .red in sight from the
Janet, and three boats lowered in pursuit. Capt.
Hosmer'a'boai's crew consisted of hlmsslr, Francis
Hawkins, $d male, Edward H. Chnrlez, Joseph Cor
tex, Duniel Thomas, and Jas. Kainnro, seamen. It
blowing fresh at Me time the boats soon separated,
each having made fast to a wbnlr. After Cnpf. Hos
mcr bad succeeded in " lurnfng up" his whale and
lotting biiu to the ship, from soma inadvertence on
the part of the third mate in putting about, the boat
capsized with loss of boat keg, boat-bucket, com
pass, paddles, eVc. The crew succcsdad In righting
the boat, and lashed the oars to.be thwarts across
the boat, to prevent her from overturning, she being
filled wltb water, and tbe soacontinually breaking
over her.
Two waifs, or flags, were fmtnediatcly set as a sig
nal of distress, the other two boats being in sight st
a distance of about one and a half miloe. Capt. H
saw iho other two boats take their whale alongside
of the barque, which wss then kept off in the direc
tion for his boot, but to his surprise and horror, when
within about ons mile of him they kept off on anoth
er course until sundown. The crew of ths captain's
boat then got on to the whale alongside and tried to
tail the boat, but could not succeed. They then cut
the line attached to the whale, and succeeded In set
ting some piccea of the boat-sail and steered towards
the barque, then about three milea d-slant. During
the plght they saw a light at intsrvsls, but in the
morning the barque waa at about the same distance
off. Fvery expedient wis resorted to by making
signals to attract tbe attention of those on board the
barque, -but in vein. Saw them cutting in the
whsles, snd spparently Indifferent to the fate of
their comrades. In thia perilous condition the un
fortunate boat's crew made another attempt to bail
lb water from the boat, but owing to their conster
nation they did not aucceed. They then continued
on their courae as before, hoping to regain the
barque, but soon found thst aha receded from them,
and it -waa determined to put about to the wind and
remain, whatever the consequences might be. On
the second morning, the weather being more favor
able, all the whale craft waa thrown overboard, snd
another attempt was made to ball the boat, which
resulted In the loss of ene roan, and without accom
plishing lha purpose. The effort was again renewed
In the afternoon, the weather being yet more favor-
able, and they finally succeeded In freeing ths boil
from the water, but with the loss of another of her
crew i all on board hating been u to their arms
in lha water during the laat 48 hour. Two of the
survivors wero seised' with delirium all of them
hsvlng been without a morsel of food or drink, snd
suffering psinfully from thirst Thus disabled no
one on board being able to ply at the oars, and, with
only a small fragment of the boat's sail remaining,
It wss determined to mske for Cocue Island,, on the
Peruvian coast, a distance of about one thousand
miles, as the nearest land. Accordingly the piece of
the aalt was used to the best advsotago, and the
celling of the boat was torn up sod also employed as
a wind propeller, and ateeriog In a north-easterly
direction.
Capt H. writes nothing occurred worthy of re
mark until the aeemh day, ths crew baring in the
meantime been without a particle of food or drink,
and not a drop of rain having fallen. In this dread
ful stale of suffering It was mutually agreed to em

Until a few days since it was my expectation still lo

News from Damn's tiay Sir Johu l'ranllu.
Capt Chapel, of the bark Mcl.ellan of lhi port,
Irom Davis' Straits, w'.tose arrival we announced
yesterday, morning, furnishes Information which
will at least be read with interest In the United
States, aod iudeod In every part of the world.
About the 1st of Aokusi, while McLellan laid in
Pond's Bay, an indentation of Baffin's Bay, in
let. 74, Ion. 11 the natives of the coast came on
board the Chiefiutn, a.wlMleman,, and gave infor
mation by signs that two large ships were then ly
ing in Prince Regent's Inlet, and luuj. been there
fast in tho ice lor lour eeasons; and being asked
with regard to those on board, Whether they were
dead or slive, they replied in the same way that the
trows were not asleep'' (that is, not i8ed) bat
were all well. This Information was considered by
the englishman und by Capt. Chapel, as Indica
ting that the eiiips of Sir John Franklin were clear
ly meant.
The Englishman landed at Cape Hay, some dis
tance from Pond's Hay a quantity .ef coal and pro
visions with which his ship wss furnished by ihe
Biitish Government for the use of the long missing
ships, if they should chance to come there, as they
would be obliged to do on their return to England.
This Is certainly the latest news from that quarter,
and there Is a possibility, that the commander of the
unfortunate expedition and his crew are still alive.
Heaven tend that k may be to I
The McLellan and her gallant officer and crew
haye reached home almost by miracle at any rate
have done ao under circumstance that entitle them
to the highest credit. r
' On the 12th of. June the bark got "n!pped"ln
the ic and only escaped deatructlon by the almost
superhuman. exertions and good conduct of those
who were in chargs of her. She was so seriously
injured that ahe leaked so ss to be kept afloat only by
ihe inceaaant work of nearly all hands at the pumps,
and by means of two large metallic pumps obtained
by Captain C. from tbe wreck of ihe English ships
crushed and totally lost juai ahead of him,;
The leak, was however, partially remedied by
thro moled sails uoder the bow, though she con
tinued to leak badly until her arrival home, and
waa only kept above water by continual and un
ceasing labor at the pumps, till ahe reached the dock,
which indeed la still obliged to be continued, aa she
lies at the wharf. The two English ship, Superior,
and Lady Jan; mentioned yesterday, were both
loot very near the McLellan. Two of lha crew of
the lost thlpt arrived In her. They are native of
the Shetland Islands.
On the 30tb of August, the McLellan lost a man
narqtd Joeeph Schneider, of New York," who fell
from the mlxaen-top mast head and lived but 20 min
utes, being shockingly mangled in the head and
limbs.. H was II years old.
It is due to Captain Chapel, his gallant offl-
a rc and ship's company, again to say that their
conduct la bringing home their vessel, la deaerving
of more than common praise,' and even with their
exertions, it could not have been done, but for the
stsunch and enduring qualities of tbe ship, Tbe
skill snd perseverance of the officers snd men were
objects of admiration to tbe Englishmen who wit
nessed them.
We may give mure particulars of the McLellin's
voyage hereafter.
