PROBABLE RESCUE OF THE VESSEL. ‘The steamship Santiago de Cuba, of the North Ameri- ean Steamship Company’s line, ran ashore on the New Jersey coast, near Atlantic City, Cape May, between three: and four o’clock yesterday morning, during a @ense fog. She was en route from Greytown, Nicaragua, to’New York, and bad 340 passengers—nearly all from from California—on board, five of whom, together with ‘two of the crew, were unfortunately drowned during the Borie to convey them ashore, The remainder were ently .convored. to, the lana. ‘When it was discovered that the ship had struck the sand; the command was given to reverse the engine. ‘Tajo had the effect of backing her upon the beach, stern foremost. The ship then swung eronnd, and she now Nee broadside ‘to the surf. 48 econ as the hawsers were made fast to the shore the boats were lowered and two loads of passengers, al) females, were safely landed. While the third boat ‘waa proceeding to the shore it was capsized by a heavy ‘wave. It contained cight persons, ive of whom were @rowned.

THUKSD A BROADSIDE INTO GREELEY. ARADO Wendell Phiitips’? Opinion of Treason and Straw Bail. {From the Anti-Slavery Standard. } Mr, Jefferson Davis is released. Horace Greeley gives bail for his reappearance when called for. Mr. Davis has started on his travels—to return, no doubt, when- ever the farce of a trial may stil! further disgrace the bation, Unless we are grossly mistaken, there isa deep-seated, unappeasabie indignation in the hearts of the people at this act, The protest may pot be loud-mouthed, but all Joyal’ héarts will swell in secret with bitter hate which bides its time. ‘What more vould the government have done to en- courage another treasonable outbrexk? What more to bring law itself into disgrace—to bring, indeed, re- publican government into disgrace? For, if this be ali republics can do to punish treason, on bow insecure @ tenure we hold peace! If such be the easy path of traitors, why should not any disappointed and bafiled party chief thus achieve world- wide notoriety? Surely, as they say in England, ‘high treason is one of the cheapest amusements one can now indulge in.” But there is another side to the medal, Maimed and wounded men will not thus patiently drag out bitter years; childless fathers, or, harder sull, those whose sons survived Libby prison and Andersonville in a state more pitiable than more death, will leave bloody instruc- ons for those who come after them. If law is thus a sham, the recourse will be to the Mexican method, and Jet rival chiefe shoot each other after a drum-head court martial, If wis be all Jaw can do to punish trea~ son, the next Jefferson Davis who attempts to be ruthlessly shot before he has time to lift his uise or attain the safe Bhelter of 4 prostituted court. Mr. Greeley thinks the teeson the people will learn from this disgraceful exhibition will be one of venese, The fawning spamel is no emblem or.teacher of forgive- ness. The survivors inthe Army of the Potomae—the men who remember MoCook, Memphis, Fort Pillow and the murders of Belle Isle—will read this act in a different and redder light, They will resolve to settle their own wi the next time, and prevent being cheated by law, 1) — war, soldiers found that guerillas and other rebels, hands dripping blood, had only to take the oath and get immediate liberty, they did not learn the Greeley lesson to forgive murderers; they simply brought in no prisoners, No arrests were reported at headquarters ; rumors reached it of men shot in the bans to bring them in. We think our baffled boys im blue lay some such lesson from this occur- rence in case they have another call to arm.

There has been no public demonastra- tion and-nothing at all like excitement, Very few Cana- dians seem even to know that he is in the city. Only two newspapers, the Daily News and the Telegraph, havo noticed the fact of his arrival; and these, although strongly secessionist during the war, have not extended to him an editorial welcome. The chivalry are, of course, greatly pleased to have an opportunity of seeing their former chief, and quite a number called on him to-day, Scarcely any rebels of prominence, however, are now here. It is said that the civic authorities have privately inti- mated to the more conspicuous rebels that no public demonstration would be permitted. Mr. Davis is staying with the Howells, in Mountain street. His children have been brought to the city and are now staying with him. It is said that Mr. Davis has purchased the McGiverin estate at St. Catharine’s for a summer residence, CITY INTELLIGENCE.
