The collision, but for the proximity of the vessels to the shore, might have resulted in serious loss of life. As tte steamer Excelsior was about a mile anda half from Old Point whart Capt. Baldwin saw a large steam tug bs erpege rs The usual signals were given to indicate the course, but no attention appar- ently was paid to them. Seeing a collision was imminent, Capt. Baldwin gave another signal, stopped the Excelsior and backed her. The tug, which proved to be the Fortune, from the navy yard, came on at full speed, striking the Excelsior near the bow, cutting her down to the water's edge. The officer In charge of the Fortune asked if the Excelsior wanted assistance, and was told: “Yez, stand by,” as the vessel was Ina sinking condition. Capt. Baldwin at once put on all steam and headed for Hampton bar, about a half a mile distant, and, fortunately, reached {t before she settled. She'was run aground and sunk in a few minutes. As soon as the crash of the coll!sion was heard, the officers of the Tennessee, Vandalla and Aillance, which were anchored in the Immediate Vicinity, at once had boats lowered and put off to the sinking steamer, and assisted In bringing the assengers ashore, Most of whom took the steamer for Baltimore at °7 o'clock.

FRELINGHUYSEN, Secre- t avenue. tary of State: = Dear Sir:—I respectfully ask permission of the State department to disinter the remains of our countryman, John Howard Payne, which now rest In a grave near Tunis, in Africa, that they may receive more appropriate sepulture in the bosom of his native land. Mr. Payne died, as 1s well known, in the service of the State department, on the 8th of June, 1852, while acting as consul of the United States at Tunis, and I understand that a marble slab, erected by order of the department, still marks the spot where his body was laid. It has seemed to me that the precious dust of an American citizen who sang 80 sweetly in praise of “Home, Sweet Home” should not be left to min- gle with any soll less dear to him than that of the land which gave him birth, and which, by the beauty of its home-life, gave to him his best poetical inspiration. If you concur with me in this sentiment I beg leave to say that I will, when favored with your official permission, charge myself with the duty of providing for the removal of his remains to this country, and, on their arrival here, will give fo them a new and suitable resting place in “Oak Hill Cemetery,” taking care, of course, to mark the spot with & monument which shail perpetuate in the eyes of bis countrymen the pame of the poet already embalmed in their hearts by his 1m- mortal lyric. Tought to add that 1 make this application to you because, as the honored head of the State epartment, you seem to be the natural custodian of Mr. Payne’sgrave in Tunis. I am further tn- duced to make ‘this appeal to you because, after careful inquiry, Tam led to believe that Mr. Payne has now no descendant or collateral kindred to Whom Teould address a communteation on this subject T have the honor to be, sir, your most obedient servant, W.

He placed the letters on the table, and ringing the servants’ bell stretched out on his bed with a picture of Miss Taylor in his hands. As the servant knocked at the door, Dor- sey blew his brains out with a pistol.

In the morning, about 10 o'clock, she was called down stairs to see a visitor. As she left the room Butler remarked that he would be back to see her Tuesday even- ing, and then sald: “Kiss me, Mabel, for | may never see you again.” The woman took her visitor into an adjoining room, and nad chat- ted with him for half an hour, when he sala he heard groaning. He opened’ the door of the next room, cried out, ‘My God, the man has shot himself,” and then left ina hurry. Butler was lying on the floor, with a bullet hole in- the left breast. On a chair was his clothing, con- sisting of the blouse, cap and overcoat of his Sth regiment uniform and a pair of dark trou- sers. His revolver lay beside him on the floor.
