Dultimore; and at 11 o'clock St night, when about 30 miles off the North Caroliiia egotist, J imc of Iter boilers burst'jd, and slid sunk with in 45 minutes after the explosion! There were about 200 on board; of whom only 59 were saved. Of these It! made their escape) in a couple of yawls belonging to the boat, and landed in Onflow count) ; the other 43 were reacted by the sehr. Henry Uamaer don. Wc understand tho Pulaski was a regular runner between Charleston and Baltimore having been fitted up exclusively forlhecon vojyince of families ffoin one city to the oth er; and we therefor presume that, for the most part, its passenger consisted of fami lies rrninjv north to spend the .'summer. Al though we recogniio but ono individual a nnng the lot, yet, from the list it is evident that distinguished men, the divine, tlie jurist, the statesman, and the physician, the youthful ttnd the aged have together in the wreck of the Pulaski found a watery grave. What must have been their consternation, when, nt the . midnight hour youth and beauty sprang from their quiet sluinWflllo feel the memory o.the xmLb "i future die within ti languid and fluttering, STia its dreamless and iiubroken rest! When Ktronir manhuud awoke to battle for a mo ment with the Wave and die! When the mother only startled from some blessed dream of the loved ones she had left behind heaved one long sigh of unutterable plaint to kin dred and lioine clasped her babe closer to her anguished-bosom and sunk, uncolfiii'd, to the doep repose of her ocean tomb ! The yawls, of necessity, moved off amid the waitings of the survivors, who were floating around upon broken pieces of the wreck. We observe, with the most profound re gret, among the missing, the name of Judge 'John A. -Oxmkron, ftrttrrerly-Kditor t)f the Faycttevillc Journal, and brother to the Hon. Dus. Camkrox, of this City. As a gentitw right and, in word, as an ornament to occiety, his loss will be deeply and exten sively felt., From a lei-er receivedijy Judge Cameron, of this City, oil Sifhday last, it was confidently hoped that he waa aafe; but aubsoipieut information has blasted every hope t ffT". Several vessels arrived at Charles ton and one at New York, having passed the wreck of the Pulaski; but, after strict sarch, we're unable to discover a solitary human being. Another! .'An account of the loss of the s'eamboat Washington, by fire, on Lake F.rie, and the loss of many lives, will bo fiund in another column. .Accounts vary as to the number of persons lout, from 30 to 60. Among those who perished were a new ly married couple, who jumped overboard, and sunk in each other's arms. And itill another ! ! The New Orleai Picayune of June litli, says: " The steamboat Tomorhtehi arrived yes terday, having brought to Fort Jackson 250 Keminoles and 30 ucgrocs.
