at over Other people’s shoulders, and who is described by the Democrats as an active confederate to the third-term ‘ plot.’ We see no reason why Gen. Dix should allow himself to be bound down by a false charge. His defeat would bea very great misfors tune to the State, and all proper means shvuld be taken to avert that disaster. If General Dix feels as all sensible men must do on this question, consdieration for the ‘feelings of others’ should not induce him to keep silence, for it is pretty certain that the ‘others’ have not much consideration for him,”

Other journals are following the lead of the 7imes, and it only remains for General | Grant to give the vital blow to the lost cause by repudiating the idea that he seeks re-

Mr. \ustin, who had caught a severe cold

the first night out, and was troubled with isuch severe shaking of the limbs that he | could not sleep. The morning of the fourth day was clear, and it continued moderate all diy. ‘hissgave them courage, and al~ though quite weak they rowed to the wests ward, keeping an anxious lookout for a welcomed sail and doing their best to keep up each other's courage. A shark came alongside during the day, and they en- | deavored to catch him, as they would glads ly would have partaken of anything eatable; |

but they were unsuccessful, When the sun

went down that evening they felt their | hearts sink within them, and they thought | that their chances of being picked up were Roberts was enabled to pass some of the weary hours in sleep; but | this boon for the most part was denied his ‘companion. The fifth day was foggy, and | they rowed a couple of hours, but felt so used up that they gave up pulling, and an- other dreary night dragged its slow hours

The dory has been seen from her deck, and the shouts of the men were soon answered, Robert was enabled to get on board without help, but it required the assistance of two of the steamer’s crew to get Austin on board, It proved to be the ocean steamer Greece, and the men were kindly cared for by her captain and officers, and by careful nursing were well nigh re- covered upon her arrival in New York on Wednesday last.
