Her Voyage Across the Atiantic.—Her Ar- rival at Sav, aptain [From the Savannah Republican, of March 19th J The American bark Adriatic, which became famous from her disastrous collision with the French steamer Lyonnais, in November, 1536, and still more an object of interest from her recent seizures by the French authorities at Marseilles, her confiscation by the Court of Admiralty, and her subsequent escape, ar- rived safely at this port at an early hour yes- terday. We have had a long interview with her commander, Capt. Durham, and as the facts connected with her escape are matters of national interest, we proceed to state them as briefly as the nature of the subject will allow. The circumstances attending the collision with the Lyonnaise are slready familiar to the public. Capt. Durham is very positive that it grew out of no fault on the part of his own vessel, but resulted, as he alleges, from culpa- ble mismanagement by the officers of the steamer. The judgment of confiscation was rendered by the Imperial Court of Aix in De- cember last, and as soon as a copy was served on Capt. Durham, believing that it was im- possible, in the excited state of the public mind in France, to obtain justice, he resolved to make his escape if possible, and place the whole matter in hands of his Government. Of course he had to resort to stratagem to ac- eomplish his purpose. Learning that the Adri- atic would not be taken posession of until the full extent of the loss by the Lyonnais could be ascertained, he improved the interval in devising the means of escape. He ongaged a caulker and had her caulked all around for about five feet above the water's edge, under the pretext that she was so open, when the mistrals should set in, she would sink right there in the harbor. Capt D. thinks there were no suspicions from this movement, for in the ‘noise and confusion” of the caulkers’ operations he and an assistant were quietly weaving the running rigging on board, and gett ng ready for sea. They worked at this usiness about three hours every night, say from nine o’elock till twelve, when there was much noise, and it was so dark no one could either hear or see what they were doing. What Provisions they got were put on board anviher vessel, and from thence transfered to the Adri- atic during the night. The crew was also shipped for another vessel, and subsequently taken on board the Adriatic when they were so much intoxicated as not to be conscious of what was going on. Capt. Durham commenced getting ready to haul out about 9 o'clock on the evening of the Sth January, his force consisting, besides him- self, of Capt. , the two mates and a boy. The vessel lay in the middle tier, about haif- way up the harbor, with both anchors ahead and moored with a hawser astern. They bent the two topsails and main-topmast stay-sail where she lay. The vessel ahead of the Adriatic was made fast to the chain, and when the Adri- atic slipt they let go the fast of the other vessel and hove her right into the middle of the har- bor, ahead of her. When the captain awoke and found out his situation, and that his vessel was adrift, there was no end to his imprecations against “the d—d Yankees.’ Capt. D. had no time to spare to his ‘ sacres,”’ but got clear of him as soon as he could, and hauled down the harbor. nearly to the guard ship, when he stopped to take on his crew and to make aail. The crew were goton board by 4 o'clock on the morning of the 9tb; they then set the topsaila, and putting four oars in the boat. put her ahead until the vessel got steerage way. When the Adriatic got xbreast of the guard ship, her boat came ot ana demanded the fort- ass of the former. Capt. D., when xasked for is pass, replied “ prennez garde la,’’ and threw the officer a small bit of paper with two sous wrapped up init. The paper «nd money, however—whether by accident or design the captain does not say—went over the boat and inte the water, sinking to the bottom. The officer of the guard ship then inquired for the name of the vessel, when Captain DP), sung out that she was the American ship Luna, that had cleared the day before. Nothing more was heard from the official, and the Adriatic pro- ceeded on her way. As soon as the fugitive got clear of the har- bor, a fine breeze sprung up from the eastward. and at daybreak she was abreast of Plainier. and three good miles off the French coast The Adriatio then took ber course for Spezzia in Sardinia, the Captain expecting to find his ship's papers there. and aiso sume American man-of war, who might supply bin with an anchor and such other articles as he atood in need of. She arrived at Spezzia on the morn- ing of the l¥th of January and anchored with the kedge, haying cut love both anchors und left them at the wharf in Marseilles. There was no man-of-war in port, and her papers had net arrived. Having no bill of health, the Sardinian authorities would not permit her to land. Captain D. then went ashore himself to the practique office, where he met the Ameri- ean Consui who informed him that intelligence of hiseseape had reached there and that the French Government had telegra; hed to all the ports in the Mediterranean to stop the vessel in whatever port she might be found. Soon after her arrival, orders came f; furin to seize the vessel, and the officers actually placed agun-boat under her stern, with two guns mvunted, having received orders to fire should any any attempt be made by the captain of the Adriatic to move from the spot. The next or- ders were that the vessel should not be mo- lected, but that none of her men were to be allowed communication with the shore, nor was any thing to be sent on board of her, not even water, nor any other kind of assistance offered In a few days. upon further reflection, all these orders were withdrawn, and Captain Durham allowed to take whatever he desired to his vessel ; or rather, as he statos. whatever he was able to pay for, whieh was very little Col. Long, the United States Storekeeper at Spezzia, kindly furnished the vessel with all she wanted. Just as she got her provisions and water on board, there came un afresh blow from the northward, and the vessel was riding by the kedge and forty-five fathoms of chain. with one of the chain boxes filled with stones to back it, and a hawser bent to the other chain box. She lay then in what is called Penagalia Bay with the wind blowing right on shore About two o'clock the vessel commenced dragging ; all hands went to work and got sail of &$ soon as possible, cutting away one chain box and dragging the other by the point, which she neared so closely that one might have jumped ashore from the deck. The vessel kept drifting until Capt. D. was compelled to run a bauser ashore to the lazaretto, where he made out to hold her, until he went to town and got his papers. Returning to the bark. he put teen e day following the hoarded the ship Elizabeth Denniso tn she got more provisions and an She then had a beautiful passage of eleven days to Madeira, after first beating about for some time in order to put certaia parties ashore who had nodesire to take a trip to Ameri: The voyage from Madeira to the United States was along and tedious one, she having encountered. alter- nately, calms and headwinds nearly through- out the passage. rhe crew finally exhausted all their provisions except a small quantity of beef. and it became necessary for the ship to make the nearest American port, Savannah, which she reached in safety, as before stated. Upon the whole. the movements of the Adri- atic have been truly eventful, and it remains to be seen what vet they are to have upon the interests of her owners and the relations of the two goyerninents. should our own sustain the vessel In her escape from the authorities of France.

A TRULY MARVELLOVS story! [From the Kenton (Ohio) Republican, March 12 J According to the most accurate and reliable information we can get, Orange Township, the southwestern corner of Hancock county, some five miles from Johnston, in this county, has re- cently been the favored lovality of one of those remarkable visitations which the people bave learned to regard as very “few and far be- tween ;" an Angel visit.” Inasmuch as num- berless versions of the story have gone abroad, and a considerable amount of interest and cu- riosity is manifested hereabouts and elsewhere, to * Know all about it,”’ we briefly give the par- ticulars. as we received them, from a source that all will concede is entirely reliable, and entitled to confidence: Some time in August last, a bright intelligent little girl, aged five years, and daughter of Mr. Charles, who resides 1m the locality described, while near the well in the yard, about noon of the day, seemed to dis- cern something high up in the air, and descend- ing toward her. The attention of the child was so much drawn to the object that her gaze became riveted upon it, and as it drew nearer, she was obeecvell G make freqaent attempts to reach it with her hands, and form acloser acquaintance with the strange visitant. When the motherof the child was called to the scene, the little girl informed her that she was in the presence of an Angel ; that she had talked with it; that it had made communications to her; and furthermore, gave a description of it, according in every particu- lar with the gevorally received impression of the appearance of these messengers from above. To satisfy herself that there cvuld be no delu- sion in the matter, the mother entered into conversation with the stranger, and after being satisfied with the reality of the intorview—after having seex and talked with the Angel face to face—and after receiving information from it of the precise time when her own death would oc- cur—sbe retired from the spot, taking her little girl with her, and the Angel, waving its bright wings, returned Heavenward. When the mother and child were alone, they talked freely of what they had seen and heard, and the mother’s sadness was made deeper by the artless story of the child, who said that the Angel told her she would die just two months from the time when she first saw it, at precisely twelve o'clock and twenty-five minutes; that she would be three days in dying; that her death would be unlike that of others; that her friends would suppose her to be in a trance; that her eyes would not be closed; that her funeral would be preached in three weeks after in the new school house of the neighborhood, by a man, whom, together with his horse and buggy, she described, and that her friends would have difficulty in procuring the house for the oceasion. The mother kept the sad se- eret to herself, and waited for the appointed time, hoping that all might yet go well with her and hers, and not caring to be reckoned as ono who would attempt to revive the defunct doc- trine of Spiritualism. But with the time came the terrible blow. Three days before the time predicted for her death, the little girl fell upon the floor, from whence the was taken to bed, and at the hour and minute foretold, on the third day, breathed ber last. Her eyes remained open after death, and could not be closed. Friends, supposin; her to be entranced, made many and vain of forts to restore her to life. A few days after her burial, as Rev. H. P. Darst was passing that way, afriend of Mrs. Charles called to him, and requested him to tarry awhile and i the little girl's funeral ‘sermon. The Reverend gentleman excused himself on the ground of having prior engagements, but prom- ised to do so in a short time. His person and equipments corresponded in the most minute particulars with the prophetic description, and when he did return to redeem his promises, the workmen who had built the new school honse, having a lien upon it, retused tolet it be opened for the funeral service; but subsequently they gave up the key, and the sermon was preached at the exact time and place predicted. The bereaved mother intended that the knowledge of these prophecics and their fulfil- ments should go out of time with her, but re- cently, the secresy bearing more crushingly upon her, she determined to reveal the whole matter, and in accordance with this determina- tion, one day last week, she sent for John Lati- more, Esq., and Samuel Wood, one of our County Commissioners, and to them gave the p*tticulars, the most prominent of which we have given. The gentlemen named are among the oldest, most respectable, and influential citizens of our county, and their known char acter for integrity is sufficient guaranty that they would not favor a wrong action, or in any way assist in giving publicity to a story, as to ruth of which they had a reasonable doubt. hese gentlemen, we understand, have taken down the facts, as Mrs. Charles related them, for the purpose of giving them to the public in pamphlet form. ey both bear testimony to the good character and standing of the lady who makes the revelation, and would regard anything coming from her as entitled to credit. In due time we will probably have more to say on the subject, but at present, nofling. —_—_——_.+e-___ A New “Topacco Quaestt —The im- portant questien of the possibility of poisoning by cigars impregnated with arsenic, has been raised, states the London Lancet, by the recent death, in France, of a priest named Bottaro, suppoved to have been poisoned by another pri An besa Sep has been undertaken, to as- certain whether it be possible or probable that arsenicated cigars can cause death, by the in- spiration of their smoke impregnated withjvo! tilized arsenic, or by its admission in the saliva without such change; and very important are the conclusions arrived at. ‘There are three ‘ remark the investigators, ‘in which the introduction of arsenic into the animal omy nay be effected through the medium of cigars; by impregnation with a powerful so- lution of the poison; by its introduction intp the eandescent end, so that it may reach and mix with the saliva during smoking; or, finally, in larger quantity, n in the central part of cigars. Poisoning is hardly possible in the first or second cases. In the third instance, it is inconceivable. [t might occur by a combina- tion of two or three of these methods. The (question of the formation of arsenicated hydro- gen is not settled.”’ In reading this report, we seem to be transported to the days of the Borgia, when the poisoned taper destroyed other exis- tences in sacrificing its own, and when the flow ers of the ball-room were scattered with alien and lethal perfumes. It is well to be assured that these fabled horrors are also impossibilities. The mere suggestion of this must carry alarm and discomfort to any rich uncle in the habitof smoking his favorite wephew’s cigars. This re- | rt, however, practically negatives the possi- vility of such crime being successfully perpe- trated. {[}- The Michigan papers say that, during the year ending on the 2th of February, neither life nor limb has been sacrificed on the Michigan to ithern Railroad. if The Bridgeport Standard learns that the Douglas Democrats of that city are proposing to establish a Douglas paper there.
