Between these masses of the prettier part of Bumanity the iine of carriages came on regularly. Each Gepesited its precious und favored freight at the church @ver, drove on and made room for the next.

Collision Between the Steamships North Star and Ella Wariey, Immediate Sinking of the Latter. One Officer and Five of the , Crew Lost. THE NORTH STAR BADLY DAMAG Statement of One of Our Special Corres- pondents Who Was an Bye-Witness, Nee Rey ae ‘The United States transport steamer North Star, Cart. Indevre, with a fail cargo of sager and cotton and about ene handred and fifty passengers, sailed from Key West on the moraing of the 5ta imst., bound to New York. Nothing of interest transpired on the voyage. The frst ‘thirty-six bours out bad weather was expericnced; but after that Limo calms and light winds, with a smooth sea, prevailed. At six o'clock 6a the evening of the 9th inst, ‘we were abreast of Barnegat Lighthouse, the wind at the time being very light from Vhe eastward, weather hazy, aky overcast, and the sea as smooth as a millpond. After it became dark tho hate upon the horizon cleared away in a great measure, rendering distant objects quite dis tinct, and there was every prospect that the might would Prove a fine one. AS we paseed Barnegat Capt. Lefevre took his place on the forecastie, acting a8 one of the lookouts. I askea him ‘while there if sncb was bis habit. He replied that ‘it ‘was—that he made it an invariabie rule, in all his loug seagoing experionce, never to rely entirely upon apy ono while he was able te do duty, About eight o'clock the Highland lights were in sight, and sbortly after they were discovered other lighte were reported im right, suppored tu be thone of a passing Fteam- er. When they were plainly made out tobe such they bore about two points on the port bew, and Captain Le- | fevre, to be sure of beimg right, ordered the:helm aport, and kept the yoese!'s point more tothe eastward. Soon after he did so he <scovered that the strange steamer hed altered her course, with ber heim aetarbeard , and was standing directly across eur bows. Upon making this diecovery Captain Lofevre at once ordered the helm hard aport, the engine slowed, stopped aud backed; but it was of no avail, for the stranger kept on ber course, | and it was imporsible to check the North Star’s head way before she struck the vessel with trementious force about amidshipe. At was very evident, from the force of the collision and from being strock almost at right angles by the sharp ftem of the North Star, that the stranger had suffered very materially, and it could be seen, even through the darknoew, that the versel’s machinery baa been disabdied. ‘The firet shock brought every one to the deck, and for = time confusion reigned supreme; but the fears of the crowd of passengers soon became allayed, and a! seemed | would be better if abips of the size of the North Star were #be had but two at hor davits, anxious for the faie of the strange vessel, forgetting for De moment, in the anxiety te eave the hvew of otbers, | videntiai that the water wae smooth when this deplorabie accident occurred.

Captain Lefevro hailed the other vesse! before we struck, and said, ‘Pat your helm hard aport and rwp your engine,” but no notice appeared to be taken of thie order, for she kept her speed. As neon as we backed clear, our commander, perfectly cool and collected throughout the whole of the trying affair, made every oxamistation as to the condition of his own the same time gave orders to have our boals lowered and manDed to give aid to the vensel that we pow discovered Dy the cries om board to be in a sinking condition. At thie moment Captain Walsh, late of the ship Spark Hing Sea, recentiy wrecked on she Fioride reefs, came for ward and tendered hie services to Captaia Lefevre, with those of hie mate, Mr. G. W.

A sharp fight of nearly eight hours, during which time the Montauk was repeatedly struck by shot and shell of the largest calibre, a portion of which were rifled pro jectiles, has clearly demonstrated the fact that, at what may be called shert rango, the iron-clads (by which I refer to tho Monitor style the New Ironaides not having deen tested), are completely invulnerable as ogainet the heaviest ordoanco in the rebel service, or perhaps of any nation, ‘The turret, and tho plan of working the hoawy guns within, were proved to be all that could be desired.
