The two democratic nominations for the Presidency eonfuse our politicians considerably. Most of the fede- rei office holders go for Breckinridge, but from present sppearances, the masses of the people favor Douglas. Gov. Lowney spoke at a Douglas meeting in Sacramento jast Tuesday evening, and gave in bis adhesion to that party: the Judges of the Supreme Court and a majority of ‘the State officrs are also for Douglas. A meeting of the Democratic State Convention is called for the 30th inst., when i is expected some plam will be broached to con- centrate the vote of the party on one of the democratic Candidates. Meantime the press has taken sides—the grest majority going for Douglas. The Morning Call, in an article discussing the prospects in this State of the severa) candidates, has the following observations which may be considered nearly correct:—But there are other reasons why Douglas will, in California, draw greatly from the floating vote of the State, and ‘especially from that which the seceders’ ticket would procure had they nominated another candidate than @reckinridge. Douglas stands eminently clear on the record tn regard to the Pacific Railroad and all other measures of importance \ California, whilst Breckinridge was so succes#ful and persistent in bi% opposition to a Pacific Railroad, that in 1855 his vote actually killed the fi The clouds wore heavily (Washoe), where, it \s stated, she has married D, W.

Enclosed I forward you an account of a shocking acci- dent which occurred here this morning. 1 shall eadeayor to forward it by private hand, as uo mail leaves here be- fore Monday morning. On Saturday morning about ten o’clock, two gentlemen, the Rey. Dr. Whittaker, pastor of a Methodist church in Trenton, N. J., and Dr. Dammer, of Jersey City, went in bathing almost opposite the Metropolitan Hotel, in com- pany with two ladies. Jt appears that the place where they entered is not considered safe, on account of what fishermen call a “sea pass,” i. ¢., a rush of water between two sand bills. Itseems the ladies aud Dr, Whittaker lost their footing immediately and were swept into deep water. Dr. D., who was an excellent swimmer, succeeded in geting the ladies into a place of safety, but, unhappily, lost his strength and went down. ‘The greatest confusion prevailed along tho beach, and several minutes clapsed before @ boat was launched and one of the bodies taken out, In the meantime a young Canadian gentleman, Mr. Ardagh, stopping at the Alleghany House, who was bath- ing about two hundred yards to tho south of where the accident occurred, ran up and plunged in for the rescue of the other geatleman. With much difficulty he succeeded in reaching him, and, seizing him by ‘the collar of the shirt, be endeavored to drag him to the sbore, His strength, however, was rapidly failing, but, Dy @ desperate effort, he got so close that the bystand- ers dregged both out. Mr. Ardagh’s couragé is beyond praise. While hundreds stood on the beach watching the unfortunate man struggling holplessiy, he alone ven tured into the boiling surf at the imminent risk of his life. For several minutes after he was rescued Mr. Ar- dagh lay almost ingensibie on the beach, but we are bap py to learn that he hag now eatirely recovered from the effects of his heroic conduct. In the meantime the two unfortunate gentlemen were carried into one of the sum mer houses on the bank, and fur several minutes they were exposed to the barbarous treatment to which drowned persons were liable in the dark ages. Thoy were rolled on barrels, held up by the‘heels. &c., and ail this on the beach, exposed to the cool breezes off the sca. At length some gentlemen took charge of the bodies, and did everything that science could suggest to restore tho vital spark, but, we regret to say, without success. In conclusion, we beg to suggest to the hotel proprietors of ‘Long Branch that where a place is supposed to be danger- ous, notices should be posted up to thateffect. Further more, ropes well buoyed and anchored should be attached to each bathing place, and the directions of the London Humane Society with respect to the treatment of those who have been immersed in water should be posted up in conspicuous places in every hotel, in order to prevent the repetition of such barbarous treatment as was prac- ‘ised on those gentlemen.

A most melancholy accident occurred at this place, at half-past cleven o’clock this morning, by which Mr, John Whittaker, © retired merchant of Trenton, and Dr. B O. Dummer, of Jersey City, were drowned. ‘The particulars of the sad affair are as follows:— Tt appears that two young men, the sons of Mr. Za- briskie, the lawyer, of Jersey City, and « young lady, daoghter of his, and a Miss Parker, of Newark, weat bathing in the sand flat in front of the Metropolitan Hotel. ‘The party, from carelessness or otherwise, walked or drifted off the bathing ground. There being a strong under current at tho timo, they were suddeoly drifted into deep water. The ladies immediately gave the alarm, and cried for help. Mr, Whittaker and Dr, Dammer, who were about going to the bathing houses to dress, nobly jumped in to assist them, and thus sacrificed their own lives, ‘The ladies were safely rescued, but the two unfortunate gentlemen got po aid from the several gentlemen look- ing om, except few benches thrown to them, till Mr. Jos. H. Cooper, one of the gentlemanly pro. Prietors of the Metropolitan Hotel, arrived. He, with the aid of Samuel McLean, James Wood an! James Green, got a boat from some fifty yards distant, launched it, and caught the body of Dr. Dummer as it was sinking. About this timo Jordan Green, « fisherman, arrived, and he, regardless of his own life, juthped in and brought oat the body of Mr. Whittaker. Strange to say, ocither of the bodies sank, but the surf washed over them repeatedly. It is thought Mr. W. was struck with « fit of apoplexy. Both gentlemen wero expert swimmers. Mr. Whittaker leaves 6 wife and sevon children, wa® seventy years of age, and from his eppearance and acti- vity would not be taken to be more than forty. . Dr. Dammer was « single man, and about thirty-one years of age. ‘There were four or five doctors on the spot, and every. ‘thing possible was done to restore life, but all to no pur- pose, ag it ts thought both gentlemen wore doad before taken from the water. ‘The geeste of the Metropolitan have started a subsorip- tion to reward Jordan Green for his noble conduct, and $100 bas been raised for that purpose. Dr. Dummer arrived hore last evening, and intended {o remain until Monday next. Mr. Whittaker bas been a constant visiter of this piace for a number of years past.

One o the victims was Mr. Gustavus A. Ratz, for @ long Lime Secretary of the Liquor Dealers’ Association, The following are tbe particulars of the m y ca taatrophe. About baffpast nine o'clock yesterday morning, Mr. Ratz, hie wife, Mrs. John Van Tine, Mise Frances Fyane and Robert D. Evans went in bathing nearly fronting ‘Thompron’s Pavilion Hotel, which ts only a short distance from the Ocean House. A fresh breeze blew from the east, and the surf came breaking upon the beach with a dashing vigor and tumultuous foam, appreciated by the lovers of sea bathing. A strong current and ewift under- tow prevailed at the time, Very soon after entering the water, the current swept the party of bathers below the Point where they entered into deep water. Seustble of their danger, they called for aseistance. It wag an ex- citing time, The men strove to save the ladies, Several who were on the beach ran fora boat. Excepting Mr. Ratz and his wife, the party were ®peedily rescued from their perilous position—the formor having, by the strong force of the undertow, been carried farther from the shore. Kuowing that Mr. Ratz was a powerful and ex. pert ewimmer, but little apprehension was felt for his safety. He wag soen ecen to sink, losing his hold from his wife, whom he had been vainly endeavoring to bring to the shore. Quickly Mr. Evans, although nearly exhausted from his previous efforts to save the lives of thore who had been rescued, plunged into the water and swam for Mrs, Ratz. He took hold of the end of #¥ope with his teeth, and, reach- ing Mre. Ratz, tied the rope about her body, when, by the assistance of others, she was pulled to the beach. Mean- time Mr. Ratz was not seen to rise to the surface again, In ten minutes bis body was washed ashore. Now came the most exciting time of all—the efforte to resuscitate Mr. Ratz and his wife. Several physicians who were present resorted to the usual means employed for restoring drowned persons. In the case of Mrs. Ratz the efforts proved successful. It was beyond the skill of ‘the medical attendants to resuscitate Mr. Ratz. Searcely had the physicians given up their laborious attempts to bring back to the body of Mr. Ratz the spark of life, when they were called on to return, if possible, life to the inapimate form of # young man named Gardi- ner, just taken from the water close by. Gardiner and several youths of about the eame age were in swimming, @ little farther up the beach, when the former was carried by the same undertow beyond his depth. Eyery available means was used to resuscitate him, but they were of no avail. Intense excitement followed the news of the drowning. People rushed from the neighboring hotels to gaze on the victims of the catastrophe. Very soon the Coroner, Mr. Joseph E. Mount, was on the ground, end procecded to hold an inquest. Sufficient evi- dence being taken to prove the accidental character of the crowning in cach case, the usual verdicts ware ren- dered, and the remains delivered over to their friends. The body of Mr. Ra:z was brought to the city last evening by the steamboat Long Branch. His wife had not eufliciently recovered to accompany the remains. His body was taken to the Philadelphia Hotel, im tho + Bowery, of which he was the proprietor at the time of his death, and where his family reside, Arrange- ments for the funeral will be made today. Mr. Ratz was only 27 years old. He leaves a wife and one child, a boy four years old.
