If Pint of Water and Two Biscuits “TERRIBLE ‘SUFFERINGS OF THE RESCUED. the Daily Allowance of Each for Nearly Two Weeks. , A LOSS OF THE BRITISH SHIP CAP ROUGE. ke. &e, &. ‘The British bark Fredonia arrived at Boston yesterday ‘morn ng, from Fayal, having on board two hundred and seventy-three of the passengers and thirty-three of the ‘erew of the packet ship Gratitude, which vessel was abandoned at sea on the 3d inst., in a sinking condition. -The Gratitude, commanded by Captain McStocker, left ‘Liverpool, bound for New York, on the 19th of last No- vomber, with a large complement of passengers and a ‘valuable cargo of assorted merchandise. She had avery tempestuous passage almost from the time she left Liver- Pool until after Christmas, and it is supposed that the hip was badly straived during the heavy weather she encountered. On the lst inst., while in latitude 41 30, and longitude 58, the Gratitide was fallen in with by the ‘British bark Fredonia, Captain Burke, from Fayal, bound to Bosten, and which vessel, at the request of “Captain MeStocker, remained near the Gratitude to ren- -der any assistance that might be needed. Captain Burke, “of the bark Fredonia, soon ascertained that the Gratitude ‘was in 4 véry critical condition, and was fast filling with ‘wator, Ho immediately set to work to rescue those on ‘board of the Gratitude, and it is mainly owing to the as- sistance thus opportunely tendered that the most of them did not meet a watery gtave. The Fredonia lay by the sinking ship Gratitude for ‘three days, during which time the passengers, two hun- dred and seventy-three in number, and thirty-three of the crew, wore sately transferred from the Gratitude to the Fredonia, and the ill-fated ship was resigned to the ‘winds and waves, In order to make room for the unfor- tunates, Captain Burke was obliged to throw overboard a large portion of his cargo, consisting of whalebones and oll, and it was with the greatest difficulty that they could evan then all find a place to lay their heads. After having this large number of persons so unexpectedly added to.his own crow, Captain Burke was obliged to place all hands on short rations, and the sufferings from unger and thirst endured by them for more than one ‘Whole week can better be imagined than described, From the 34 instant until yesterday morning they sub- - Slated on nothing but water and biscuits, and even this means of sustaining life must have soon given out but for thelr fortunate arrival at Boston yesterday morning. praieo fer the manner in which he lay with his vessel alongside of the Gratitude for three full days, and for the @ailor-hke manner in which be rescued ‘so many unfortu- Rate beings from inevitable death, and the unselfish mo- ‘tives that prompted him to throw overboard a large por- . tion.of bis valuable cargo im order to make room te ac- -@ommodate them on his own vessel.

Sho ‘was built in this city at the well known shipyard of J. A. ‘Wostervoit, in the summer of 1855, and was owned in Liverpool, England, by J. Farmer. She was one hundred and ninety-five feet long, thirty-eight fect beam, twonty- eight feet depth of hold, with three full decks, and was copper and iron fastened. . STATEMENT OF CAPTAIN M’STOCKER. Bostos, Jan. 14, 1866, Captain McBtocker makes the following statement :— Loft Liverpool November 18, with two hundred and sev- ‘enty-five passongers; had heavy gales most of the pas- nage. On the 21st of December experienced a hurricane, ship laboring very heavy. At midnight sprung a leak; found four feet and eleven inches of water in the hold. Ordors were then given to puton all the pumps, six in all. [he passengers wore ordered up, and some put to ‘work oa the pumps and others discharging cargo. About three hundred tons of cargo were thrown over, As the ship was as far as long. 63 50 west, it was my in tention to put into Halifax; but the Fredonia heaving ‘might on ‘he Ist of January, the passengers became dis- al iatiod and wished to leave the ship, refusing to pump any longer. I offered to pay one hundred and fifty of thom daily wages if they would stay on board and pump. ‘On the 34 of January the passengers and crew abandoned the ship, which bad three feet and three inches of water. ‘Wo bad four deaths on the passage, and one seamen, mamed William Cavanagh, fell from aloft and wae in- stanuly Killed. ‘The British Ship Cap Rouge Abandoned at Sea, Newronr, Jan. 14, 1966.

NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, JANUARY 15, 1866, ‘WASHINGTON. Wasurvaioy, Jan. 14, 1866. PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF THE INTERNAL REVENUB AcT. Various changes in levying and collecting internal rev- enue are being presented and discussed unofficially Among members, and the opinion seems general that a few leading articles, such as tobacco, whiakey, cotton and petroleum, should be made to produce the greater Portion of our revenue, The tax on these is, therefore, likely to bo increased, No reduction of present rates on either of them is contemplated in any event, The opinion also prevails that the receipts from many present sources of taxation are not com- mensurate with the expense of levying and collecting, and do not compensate for the irritation and opposition they beget among tax-payers. Ins popu- lar form of government like ours taxes must ait lightly on the middling and poorer classes. Al! tax laws discrmin- ating between gold and sliver watches, or which require a housekeeper to carefully count her silver spoons, are exceedingly repugnant to tlie feelings of our people. ‘The taxes on poor milliners and dressmakers, and small manufacturers of all branches, are likely to be totally abolished, and the amount secured by @ trifling addition to those already imposed upoa more pretentious estab- Ushments. The exemption of six hundred dollars in- come is considered insufficient, and will probably bo amended by substituting one thousand, Stamp duties ‘are always odious, and half of these can be dispensed with. ' The foregoing are some of the proposed modifi. cations. TEXAN AFFAIRS. Genoral L. Kent, until recently Provost Marshal of Texas, who has just left the military service, started last evening for the above State, intending to make it his permanent residence. He represents that throughout the whole State there is presented an excellent oppor- tunity for the settlement of newcomers, particularly as the people are anxious for the infusion of Northern en- terprise. . Just now the labor system ia not adequate to the demands upon it. The blacks that are left in the State are reported to be doing very well under fair wages, Considerable dissatisfaction against Provisional Governor Hamilton exists among the citizens of the State, who re- Present that the Governor tempers his administration with a too vindictive remembrance of his personal wrongs at the hands of the rebels during the early part of the war, The inhabitants claim that the State is kept behind, in comparison with other States, in the march of reconstruction, and they assert that Governor Hamit- ton fails to lend such active aid in the work as he might well do. GENERAL GRANT.ON THR WITHDRAWAL OF TROOPS FROM THE SOUTHERN STATES. It may be stated with reference to the recent dospatch to the Mobile Advertiser, touching the withdrawal of “troops from Alabama and Georgia,ghat in acting upon the application of Governor Parsons to withdraw them from the former State and to arm the local militia, Lieu- tenant General Grant has made the following reply :— For the present, and until there is full secur ~ for equitably maintaining the right and safety of ai clas ‘5 of citizens in the States lately in rebellion, Iw. dat recommend the withdrawal of the United States ps from them. The number of interior garrisons migit be reduced, but a moveable force, sufficient to insure tran- quility, should be retained. While such a force is re- tn the South, I doubt the propriety of putting arms in the hands of the militia. THE NEW SENATORS FROM IOWA. The Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Harlan, has received the following telegram :— f Des Mores, Iowa, Jan, 13, 1908, To Hon. Jaxns Hantax—You have teen, duly elected, / HR “RPPACK ON ABNATOR WADE. mendes, ‘The offender Mr, Wado, buf not m theiway of fs from Massachusetts and has heretofore been in trouble | both here and elsewhere. TREASURY REDEMPTIONS. Last week the Treasury Department made the follow- ing redemptions of United States securities :— REORGANIZATION OF THR ARMY. Several amendments are likely to be made to the bill increasing and reorganizing the army. Military men ere suggesting that it should provide for one Judge Advocate Genoral in Washington and four assistante for the four grand military divisions, with fixed salaries per annum. An elaborate pian for the reorganization of the regular army, drafted by Brigadier General James 8. Brisbin, has been placed in the hands of members of Con- gress. It is for an army of 160,000 men; makes tho regi- ments ten companies strong, drops two majors in tho cavalry und gives two second Heutenants to a company ; increases the grades of the army and provides for the appointment of one general-in-chief, three generals, nix teen major generals and thirty-two brigadier generals, also fora field staff and a department staf. One half of the promotions are be to made according to seniority and the other half according to merit, to be determined hy boards of examiners. It requires an officer to serve two years in the line before entering the staff of the army, and makes West Point a staff school. Any one who can pass the necessary examination may enter the army a# second lieutenant. The plan exempts officers salaries from tax ation, and allows officers to be retired after twenty-five years’ service, and giving them the right to hold civil Office while in retirement, It incorporates the old regu Jar army as a part of the new army, and prescribes rules for uniform, leaves of absence, furloughs, and court mar. tials, A bill of twenty-two sections has been prepared, comprising the plan proposed, and an elaborate docu- ment in pamphlet form accompanies it. . It is stated that General Grant is at work upon the basia of @ new military bill which is to be incorporated with the best features of Wilson s bill, or to supersede it altogether. The General had a two bours’ interview with Senator Sumner at the rooms of the latter on Satur. day evening. THE RXPORT DUTY ON COTTON. Those opposed to the laying of an export duty on cotton profess to believe that ite production would be thereby lessened and the tax collected prove a sorry equivalent for the balance of exchange beavy crops ‘would create. It should be borne in mind that no country but ours can raise cotton profitably at present prices, The encouragement given by England to cotton growing in Egypt produced a famine of cereals and caused vice-royal interference. In Brasil its culture lea- sened the production of coffee too much, and was sub- stantially abandoned. In India the plant becomes perennial, which shortens the Gbro and lessens ite value. The world looks to us for cotton, and will gladly pay any reasonable export duty. THE PROPOSED REMOVAL OF THE CURRENCY BuRRAU. ‘The removal of the Currency Bureau from Washington city to New York finds but little favor thus far with Congressmen. They fear if taken there it would become & more Wail street affair and be subjected to undue finaneial and political influences.

Ausary, Jan, 12, 1966, SCONOMY AND RETRENOMMENT. * & leading subject for the exercise of the economical virtues of members, from time to time, is the public prioting. This topic was duly ventilated and filustrated this morning in Assembly, and the official printer tied down in the strictest manner to the most stringent disbursement of the public documents. Mr. Littlejohn, from the Committee on Rules, introduced a report on the subject of clerks and their compensation, which seattered in the most ruthless manner threo or four platoons of this class of patriots by restricting such officials to the actual necessities of the leading committees, Previous resolutions had autho- rized clerks for even such ornamental concerns as the Committee on Indian Affairs. The debates and the una- nimity of the votes on these topics were put in a manner which advanced the assumption in terms that it ts the purpose of this Legislature to take grounds and establish claims for its record beyond any body of the kind which we have had {pr many years. We shall see. This is the tenth day of the session. NATIONAL AFFAIRS, I fail to observe any indications which would point to &e- &e. the temper and opinions of this Legislature on topics of national interest as yet. Two or three resolations touch. ing upon the right of suffrage in the South have been Jaid aside as premature. How far these bodies will go in the expression of the radical opinions attributed to them, or whether they may not on some ap- Pproaching» contingency marshal themselves in sup- port of the President and his policy of re- construction, remains to be formally determined. ‘The radical element as indicated in the organization cer- tainly has the preponderance, but in what form the opinion of the representative wisdom of the State will give expression upon these subjects may be materully affected by the fact that the platform on which this Senate and Assembly wore elected last fall differed in a large degree from the tone of the radical element in the present Congress, which was chosen the year previous. “* Afr siniting thersubject of party era, ap’ the con- servative side and on the radical side, I have found no sort of distinction between them as to principle that could not be settled by common accord at any moment, ‘except on the oe is to my, more Just now, the Custom House. | veers © ergo Papers in favor of Depew; but it & iJ i f i i i a : i i I if ‘ 5 i PH Hy 3 ¥ H rt i rt ! { | z 5 a H i j i i 1 i i . — i i a2. +t aH A if : : i : 8 i Hi i i By 4 = 35 2 5 road in the Western States, but other ‘no connection with politica, he has the of making « hobby of his post as Actuary the Central Committee, without any invidious im.

Iam satisfied that he carries bh bi i Chat something tangible may be developed from bis mis- sion. m8 § AUP CANAL AND THE MIDLAND RAILWAY. A more serious snbject of division in the rm of the members of thix Legulatore wil) be the project of the Niagara Ship Canal. The experience and talent of Lit- Uejoln are enlisted for this project, and It is certain that he will be bucked ap in the scheme by very powerful commercial as well a8 — influences: He is actively enlarging bis alliances, the last of which he has made with the projectors of the On. wego and New York Midland Railway, With a ship canal in operation around Niagara Falls, the produce of the West would reach Oswego on shipboard from Chicago without breaking bulk, apd thence ite transit to New York over a railroad almost in an air line to New York city would yreatly shorten and cheapen transportation. This newly orgnnized railroad has just fled ite organiea tion papers to-day with the Secretary of State, Littlajoba being chosen president of the road. The effort which has been made to place Niebolas Randall tn that posttion has been represented to me as an endeavor of the Central Railroad people to get contro! of it and kill it Bo also in regard to the alta of the Central interest to get hold of the organization of the project for a braneb road from t to Rendout The tral has been beaten, and t lerests of the extensive midland counties south of the Central road and between that aod the Erie road will be united with the im) oftant element the St Lawrence and northern counties for the two projects, the Niagara ship cana and @ raiiroad north and south trom Owego and rg to New York, binecting the Con- tral road and opening up the rich but secl ‘coun! between Utica and Binghamton on a new roate.

Woop’s THEATRE. ‘This now and elegant ostablishment, #0 fully described in the HRRALD yesterday morning, will be thrown open to the public at seven o'clock this evening. It is situated in Broadway, opposite the St. Nicholas Hotel, and Mr. George Wood is tis manager, so that there ig no fear of mistakes as to location or a genilemaniy and agreeable reception, Mr. F. S. Chanfrau, the famous American comedian, will make his appearance og the new stage as the leading character {n a new farcical local extravagan- za, entitled The Balloon Wedding. The same pioce will introduce to tho audience the Hanlon Brothers, in their extraordinary gymnastic and acrobatic feats, with she very strong and efficient company of well known artiste engaged by Manager Wood, There great rush .to se- cure seats, and we doubt not Mr. Wood will receive a profitable augury of his future success, LUCY RUSHTON’S THEATRE. Miss Rushton has again changed the bill of her (new) New York theatre, also situated in Broadway. This evening the Lady of Lyons will be presented to the audi- ence, after a very careful and expensive proparation and rehearsal. Mias Rushton will pley Pauline, Mr. T. Plaeide Colonel Damas, Mr, Walcot Glavis, and Mrs. H. C. Stew. art the Widow Melnotte. Miss Rushton will vary -ber programme very agreeably during the week thus :—Tues- day the School for Scandal will bo played; Wednesday and Thursday the Honeymoon; Friday the School fo Scandal, and Saturday the Lady of Lyous, THY BROADWAY FRR. At this favorite resort Mr, John E. Owens’ new piny— for such it ie—of Solon Shingle has safely passed the or- deal of oriticism, and i now generally accepted as a framework worthy of the admirable piece of stage por- traiture which obtained for the imperfectly constracted version that preceded 1t such wide-spread celabrity, ‘Tho story is simply, yet forcibly, narrated, and its main incident—the supposed forgery—very ingeniously and interestingly controlled. The character of Selon, 8 now presented, gives wider scope to Mr, Owens! pow. ers, and one rises from his performance with a foeting of greater satisfaction with the actor and his art. The popular endorsement of the piece is decided and enthu sinstic. The theatre i nightly crowded, and the mana ger is compelled to make the announcement of “stand. ing room only’ soon after tho opening of the doors. Uncle Shingle, with the remainder of the fine com- pany, will be surrounded with entirely now seonery this evening. TONY PASTOR'S OPERA HOUSE.
