LOSS OF THE SITRAMER UNION. ‘The steamer Union, Captain Mayhood, sunk between seven and eight o’clock on Saturday morning. In addition to the crew, there were forty-six negrors of the Corps de Afrique and one lioutenant on board. In towing the steamship Empire City she proved so heavy ‘that she strained the upper works of the Union to such an extent as to cause her to leak badly. About eleven o’clock on Friday night Captain Baxter was hailed by Captain Mayhood, who reported that the Union was sinking. ‘The former immediately ordered a boat to be lowered and manned, Mr. Ward, the second mate of the Empire City, taking charge of ber. This, with the life- boat from the Union rescued the crew and negroes, and All were saved before the steamer sunk, thougu many of the latter were 80 overcome by fear that they were un- able to spring into the boats as they approached tho side of the vessel, and, to save them from going down with her, it was found D ic throw them overboard, ‘and trust to thore in the boats to pick them up. Five trips were made to the sinking steamer by Mr. ‘Ward and the boats’ crews of the Empire City. Captain Baxter and his gallant fellows deserve great Praise for their coolness, bravery and perseverance in this trying hour. ‘The Union was a Nght draught steamer. of about’ono hupdrea and fifty tuns burthen, between eight and nine years old, and was worth probably about seven thousand dollars. The next morning, on hailing the Empire City, and Jearning of the lose, a wag on board of the flagship ex claimed, ‘If the Empire City cannot eave the Union, what can?’ Pretty good. Farly on Saturday morning the McCiellan managed to get all the fleet together, with the exception of the steamers Bagley, Zephyr and Pocahontas, and the war ves- sels Mouongabela and Owasco.
