For the first three days| j after leaving the part of New Orleans the ‘weather was quite favorable. During this —— no incidents ef apy description occur- red to disturb the usual monotony of sea life. Qu the 20th, however, a strong gale ;sprung up from south-southwest. ve jsea became exceedingly rough. This sort of weather continued until the 22d, when it |began to moderate. Og that morning, at | /eleven o'clock, the vel was reported as) jleaking badly. This leak waz diseovere, in | the bow, and every exertion wade te pre-! |vent it gaining; but all to no purpose. | Blankets and other articles were brought ‘from the staterooms, the crew and passeu- yers set to work, but their efforts proved junavailing. At two o'clock a vessel hove jin sight, which proved to be the barque j i peared, Next morning, at daylight, search was made for the missing vessel, but no trace of her could be found, SCENE PREVIOUS TO THE FOUNDERING. It is a remarkable fact that there was little or no confusion on board of the North American some few hours previous to her foundering ; that is, while some of the pas- sengers were being transported to the bark. This may be accousted for from the fact that the remaining soldiers were not aware of the terrible danger which awaited them. They firmly believed that the North Ame- rican would ride out the night, when they would be received on board of the Mary E. Libby. But their anticipations were doomed to be woefully dissipated, and the poor fel- lows met with a fearful end, The North American was a new vessel, having been built at Philadelphia last year for the New York and New Or'eans Steam- ship Company. She was a propellor, of sixteea hundred and fiity tons register, built of oak and hemlock ; was two hundred and thirty-eight feet in length, thirty-eight feet in width, and twenty-eight feet deep. Her cylinder was fifty inches in diameter, with three feet stroke of piston. ee DREADFUL HURRICANE AND IN- UNDATION IN SPAIN. The river Jucar, which has its source amcng the mountains of Cuenca, flows through and fertilizes one of the most pro- ductive districts in Spain. Many are the villages of from 500 to 2,000 inhabitants respectively. The former is 22 and the lat- ter 25 miles distant frown Valencia by rail on the Madrid line. Of late years England has been supplied with large quantities of Valentia oranges, grown in the neighbor- hood of Alcira and Careagente. Lice, Ln- dian corn and silk are the other staple pro- ductions of these towns. A summer of considerable heat and drought—not a single shower having fallen between the 30th of April and 15th of August—has been suc- ceeded by an-Autumno of unusual severity. October was more or less so throughout, but on the Ist Nov. the heavens assumed a) threatening aspect. On the night of the| 3rd there was a copious fall of rain, which continued on the morning of the 4th, and towards the evening it svemed as if the windows of Heaven had opened, and another incredible rapidity, and the rains fell faster and faster. Before midnight the towns of Cullera, Alcira, Careagente and Jativa, with many adjoining villages, were submerg- | ed in water. largest of the towns just mentioned, upwards of two hundred houses near the banks of the since, and many have bad their foundations sapped. were of one story on'y, were obliged to get on the roofs to save themselves from being | would only spare their lives.

It was, perhaps, one o’clock when Mrs Roosa was awakened and saw a man in his shirt sleeves and stocking feet, with a lamp in one hand aud a hatchet in the other, coming into her room. She did not recog- nizehim, butknewit wasnot herhusband. She afterwards learned that the hired man, Jesse Cousivs, had before this been assaulted and left for dead. The fiend immediately struck her ov the bead with a hatchet stunning her almost to insensibility, but she sprang out of bed and fell on the floor, he repeating his blows on her head and breast until she lay almost senseless. He then coolly slaughter. ed the helpless children, Frances and Harry, as he thought, but tbe latter only was killed. He then turnei his bloody steps to the room where Alice and Nettie were sleeping. He dragged Alice out of bed and told her to get him ali the money in the house. She went to ber mother’s room, and there wit- nessed the horrible spectacle presented by the mother and her sis.er and brother, bathed in their blood. Her motber told ber where the pocket book was, which she got and took to the man, telling him that was all they had, aud he could have everything they had if ke He took the pocket book which contained only eight or ten dollars, one dollar and twenty-five cents lof which be Jeft in it as be threw it aside ; cursed her, and slew her as he had the others. While he was doing 30, little i Nettie came to the door to hear what was deluge were inevitable, the rain descended in going on, when he told her to go back or he torrents. As night approached the water | would kill her, She hurried away and bid in the streams, rivulets and rivers rose with | herself in the bed-clo hes, and was not dis- ‘turbed. The murderer then went back to Mrs. Roosa, who, meantime, was conscious enough to keep still, and feigning death when he looked at her, he left her under tive belief that she had expired. She, however, saw him leave tbe house by going out of the wiudow, aud on the sill of which were the river were swept away; others have fallen bloody tracks of his feet. Atter a fearful and horrible suspense of Mrs, Roosa heard the breath- ‘ing and moaning of the hired man, and veutured to call to him. He answered that drowned.

Ln the absence of the draggist the compound was prepared by his son, who, mistaking one botile for another, gave a dranght of digi+ talis, a deadly poison, instead of gentian tonic, as he intended. The young men had no sooner le!t the shop than the effects of the poison began to manifest itself. Kuch of them complained ef being afflicted alike, and although the distance from the store to the hotel is scarcely one hundred yards, Mr. Murney fell twice from exhaustion be- fore reaching it. Immediately on entering the building Mr. Rankin fell senseless on the table in the reading room. Everything was done that medical aid could devise, but Mr. Murney, after suffering for an hour and a balf, expired, while bis companions were so low as to be almost beyond hope, but they have siuce rallied. — <2 - —_— InpustRiaL Conpirion or IreLann.—Sir Robert Kane, F. R. S., President of the Queen's College, Cork, and Director of the Museam of Irish Industry, represents the condition of Ireland as improving in many respects. Some agricultural products are declining, and less soil in tillage, but manu- factures advance. Ireland now possesses large manufactories of machinery, especially for linen, for steam engines, and of late years, for iron ships. So much had the character of Irish wollens recently risen, that between 1851 and 1863 the number of mills bad increased from nine to forty-three, or nearly 463 per cent. The cotton mills in Ireland, since the American war, had been applied to the manufacture of flax, and the lrish poplin trade had greatly revived, but by fer the most important branch of Irish manufacture was the linen trade. Ia 1864, there were in Ireland 74 spinning mills, with 650,638 spindles, and there was a similar increase in power-loom factories. Ten years ago there were 17,000 persunas employed in the linen trade of Belfast, while in the present year there were 25,000. There had been an enormous increase in flax cultivation, the total value of the crop of the present year being no less than £3,962,989. The total value of linens exported from the United Kingdom had increased from £5,193,347, in 1861, to £8,469,036 in 1863. The produc- tion and consumption of whiskey had de- creased in ten years from 8,136,562 gallons to 3,898,258 gallons, the reduction being due, in a great measure, to the improved habits of the people. All of which goes to show, to those who doubt, that the peopl of Ireland, under fair and equal laws, are as industrious, provident, and ambitious of hon- vrable progress as any nation in the world. nga at CANADA, TURNING OUT OF THR MILITIA, Jadging from what we read in the Cana- dian papers, the Volunteers are responding to the call of His Excellency, the Command- er-in-Chief with the greatest alacrity. The Eastern men are being sent West, and the Western men East, As the companies going West passed through Montreal and Toronto, they were received with the utmost enthu- siasm ; and their departure from each place was greeted with three hearty cheers and a ‘God speed.”’ The Montreal Gazette says :— ** This promenade militiare of so many of the best men of our Volunteer Militia force will be worth more to them in teaching them discipline and the roughing of a campaign life than all the drill they have ever had. They will come back seasoned to the work, lacking nothing of a soldier's training but that which is acquired under fire. We hope they will not be called on to learn that at all, [tis true it will cost the country some- thing, but the courtry will have gained something by it. She will have well-nigh 2000 men thoroughly trained to their work, and forming the best possible nucleus for service battalions if the unhappy need to de- fend the country should arise. Each of these companies of 65 would furnish the se- lection for a full battalion, the thirty com- panies for a force of about 20,000 men,” nh 000 ee THE FOREIGN RELATIONS OF THE UNITED SLATE3—A SUVUTHERN OPINION, (From the Richmond Enquirer.)
