Itititor Citizen: Some one suggests that our depleted exchefiuer may he re plenished at this financial institution, but we scorn the Silvester) necessity, anil rather rejoice in being once more in Amer ican waters, looking forward with (rood hoiic of reaching our native shores on Tuesday next, and nr. we may he delayed by officious custom house officers will have this ready for speedy mailing, to give you an account of our voyiige, which has liccii full of incident. Our last told you of our visit to Bellas'. and to Lome, from which latter place wc sailed on Saturday night, the 7th iust., and regretted that darkness should shut out the lovely conns of Ireland and Scot land. We passed Inislrahull, the last point of laud, about midnight, and on awaking early Sunday nn lining could see Tt'tthing but rolling waves on all sides. A head wind made our good ship pitch severely, and most of her passengers groan sadly with seasickness. As usual we are exempt and can only pity the suf ferings that we know nothing of from exK'i-iencc. Very lew respond to meal liells, of which favored few we always make one. The State of Nebraska is far more com fortable in all respects than the Nevada more roomy, far cleaner, nice deck, and eating tolerable, which on the other was not endurable, l'asseugers who have crossed by other lines say that this is as good as any, which surprises us much. Everything is better, with one possible exception how much we inissour former fellow passengers. What would we not give for an hour's chat with pleasant Mrs. Von Bulow and a lesson Irom kind Mrs. Brodnax ; an opportunity to com pare notes with our dear young ladies and to soothe their aching heads to the best ol our poor ability. Above all, how on this Sunday we miss our own dear Dr. Marshall and the sweet service he would give us. Never have we so realized the want of a ritual as on this Sunday. Four persons undertake to have prayers. The first prays lor the captain, each officer, the engineer and stokersand stew arris ( fortunately these are not the rude rascals of the Nevada), all the cabin passengers, and then turned us over to the second brother, who repeated all the all lounge carelessly along the decks, which are kept so clean, that those wh wish may stretch their lazy limbs and sprawl at length. The listing of the cargo lias been rem edied, and the Nebraska dashes along on an even keel, and rejoices our homesick heart each noon, with a record of more than three hundred miles. The awful bugbear of an American cus tom house officer now looms up to our anticipations. We cannot inriire how long his meddlesomeness may detain us; but hoie not long, and that noon will hud us conilortably bathing awav the grimes of sea life, and you made happy by a telegram of our safely. Our pilot has brought New York papers, inform ing us of the terrible stnnu along the const, which wc tear made vou very un easy. ' T. W. I'. NORFOLK NAVY VAKII, (.OWN I P, first hail said and luckily mannged to get in "thcsteerage"asa happy afterthought : otherwise the Almighty might have for gotten more than half of His children on this ship. The third brother then tried his hand, and complimented the other two with a prayer "for every one now on this floating palace" (heaven save tin mark), while the fourth had so little orig inality as to suggest that heonly wanted what the other three had already told the Almighty that He ought to do. How we did wish for good Dr. Cameron Leeds and his earnest I'resbvterian prayers out ol a book and his l?w plain, common! sense words to strengthen our minus anil refresh our souls. On Sunday night wc were roused by the scrcamsofa woman, and learned that her husband had suddenly died of heart dis ease, leaving hern widow with three little children. So it followed that on Monday afternoon we participated in that most impressive ceremony, a burial at sea. At 1 o clock we assemble on deck, heads nn covered and eyes moist with sympathy; mc puiung engine is sucui wuiie inc cap tain reads the committal service of the Church of England, ami the body of "our brother" is covered with the mantle of waters, and quickly sinks to its long uonie, uierc iu rest in nopes oi me resur rection morn, wnen the earth and the sea shall give up their dead. Monday evening was to all apea ranee calm and peaceful, but an old tar warned us to look out for a squall. And true enough, at midnight our ship did roll most terribly, and not accustomed to sleep standing on our iiead wc abandon the effort and listen to the howling gale and the scurrying footsteps along the deck, which should have been above us but was in fact at our side. As soon as possible we clambered forth and eeied out. What n sight greeted our eyes. The sails torn to rags and flapping frantic ally ; the sailors struggling bravely against difficulties that scan insurmount able; the wind fairly howling, the rain driving most furiously. But above all, the sea oh, the marvelous, angry sea! How it had altered its couiiLenance in a few short hours! From a peaceful blue " it had become a furious green, dark al most to blackness, while streaksol white belted the mighty waves as far as the eye could reach. It seemed some savage, llgcnsil animal, sccKiug 10 uevour lis nrcv. How small we seemed as we clung to the door and saw the gunwale sink under the water time and time again. Within, what tremendouscrushes of crockery and lamps, and of trunks sliding and falling about. Our ladies were calm and collected, and if they felt scared certainly concealed it, mid we tried to follow theirexample; but it wasindectl a long day, ulthough wc tried to shorten it by pretended apiK'tite for meals. The plates and dishes would crash to the floor as last as placed on the tame, and only by holding one in hand and licing hclH'd by the struggling stcwardscould we keep up the pretense. We have long wished to see a storm at sea ; now we a requite sat isfied. Our captain bravely held his post on the bridge, and guided by the Captain of our salvation, managed his ship so as to weather the gale, but the cargo is so shifted that the deck has not resumed its level, but cants uncomfortably to one side. At night the moon and stars shone forth, and all was at peace once more. Among the passengers we are glad to meet Mr. Fred N. Thaver, the father of our kind friend Mrs. C. A. Moore, who is returning after escorting his wife and daughters to Europe. Our adventures are not yet over and a ripidly falling temperature-warns the captain of the proximity of a dangerous neighjior. an iceberg, long before it is visible, but at length it comes into view, and a beautiful sight it was; a hill of oure white ice, with irregular jagged ton, some two hundred feet high above the water, and some five hundredjeet square in surlace, at least so we judge it to be, as we sail past, nt a distance oftwoniiles. and very glad indeed we are tohavegone beyond us chilling innuence, and to bask as we are doing to-day in the warm sun that reminds us of our dear balmy South ern home, which we Hope soon to see once more.
