Sunday, Vctober 81, has come and gone, A noble ‘ work has been accomplished. Eight St. Louis tartans—and every cilizen, Man, woman aad child—bave done a work for huimanity to-day that ‘Will Moat into history aud be recerded and rewem- bered among the heroic ¢eJorts tor the suffering and adlicted as long as the naive of the Stonewall will be & housebold Word aud the fatal might of the 27th of October be known, From early dawn to suyset, with @rags and yawis, by promises and personal exer- tions, have sixty lifeless remains beea rescued from their sleeping piaces. ‘The success exceeded all antici- ion. ‘The bodies found thus far have been nearly all pend ancy grees or Tneunbers of the crew, aud have been found near tie Wreck, with the exception of five Dodies which were found below the wreck, thus seeming to give proof to the theory that the deck rs leaped overboard and that the cabin bomeee yt and officers of the Doar burned to death. im i} i that inany on hoaré did burn to death, 9 the peoplego shore saw human beings enveloped io flames, rushing in vain to the guards and bout's gdge.

With tue exception ol tnose who re evidences of having sudered frou tle flames, all seemed to have died as quietly as though they bad lain down to pleasant dreams. DRAGGING THE RIVER. Agrim duty—a sad task, yet au errand of mercy and @ labor of love, On the Belie of Memphis Satur- day morning, when within ten miles of the wreck, the pronged instruments were brought fortia—barbed hooks with sharp wrought iron prongs six inches in Jength, keen and curied. They are fastened to cords thirvy-six feet long, and thus the aragging machines ‘Were perfect. Arfiving too late Saturday for work, it was not until this mornivg at hall- ony eignt o’clock that work really commenced id anything began to be done. Embarking in skits from Harris’ or Neciy’s landing, the comaiittee ‘and party proceeded to the wreck, and, skirting ground the buge lull burned to the walec’s edge, ze Still smoking and siZ71Ing away, business at ce Legan, ‘ihe dragging irons were haried oul from aft and stem, and, sinking deep into tie muduy Btream, coursed about among the dead men. Lewis Murray, whose brother was pilos on the ill- fated Stonewall, drew in the first body. “ils my brother,” he cried, and, dragging 1t to the snore, found that it was some person unknown. ‘This was at five minutes belore ning o’ciock on Sanday morn ing. There were two skills at work, ihe Stonewall SKI and a small one borrowed for the occasion, and dn thirty minutes twenty bodies were obtained, only two of which could be idenutied, and then Anae, the Chambermaid, whom Captain Shaw knew. and a Toustabout, whom some of the boat boys brought down by Captain Weaver knew. Later in the Gay the vody of Adams, of St. Louis, was found, with forty-two dollars 10 silver on his persou, an an envelope in his pocket backed to “Jumes A, Adarns, 3,801 Norih Teath street, st.

Don’t think that the wreck remained for two days eXposed Wo the gaze Ol curiosity seekers, buimanitari- ans, officers of tue law and the birds of the wr. The morning of the frst day had not dawned betore diminutive pirates trom tue Liitnois shore—“yahoos” who live God knows where—came forth from their dens in the woods and underbrush, and stealthy crawling tuto thelr B6kilTs Visited Lhe scene of plun- der and carried off what they couid lay hands to, Queer looking specimens of bumanity—if such you can call them—with unshaven faces, uneasy eyes, end stealthy gait. Noiselossly they giided trom out the coves and nooks on the liinois shore, aad pad- ding almost nolsclessiy} reached their ‘deg tinauon, and quickly reaping their ill-got- ten harvest hasty ehot across the dark waters, and soon concealed themselves in tne dense shrubbery of the illinois suore. They had heard the cries the nignt o( the fire, had seen tue heaven Hluminating blaze, and remained in conceai- ment till they could get the benelit of their stealing. Some of them were bold, mdeed genuine Captain Kyds and frst raie Jack Sheppards. in broad day- igh they mounted the ruts, rolied of barrels of nour and sacks of oats, embraced barreis Of whiskey and suerry and lugged them off In triuraph, stowed them away in their skifs that sunk to (ae water's edge With Ube weigut, aud went off singiug:— We're a bold band of robbers, id we don't care a cuss; ‘We are first rate conviers, And why kiok up a fuss?

Thus they reasoned, and they laid in a good store for the wiater, too. Fiour, bacon And whiskey for thé men, Oata for the horses, trin- kets, old knives, burned and charred nickels for the children and burned sacks of coltes for the wives, ‘with here and there @ watch or finger ring—it was a harvest for wreckers, Salvagers and Liduois pirates that does not come along every day.

And then the boat was fully insured, and if the Board of Underwriters gnd insurance men Gid not choose to look after their own property, why who should? The owners of the boat were savea by tho insurance, and ihe boat, always an unlucky one, has met with four accidents weil nigh fatal before, has cost the insurance companies much money; perhaps (like & bad and wayward son, whose parents don’t want him vo die, but are giad when he 18 well setiled im lile—say married) they were giad when she burned, and at a Board of Directors? meeting, duly ied, with deliberation folded their hands and put on their spectacies, and said, “Let her burn!’ So she burued. But these thieving siways go on @t al! wrecks. On the coast of England and Franco, Seotiand and the Atlantic seaboard, whole families and towns live by it, and why should not a few litimois Yahoos, jving on ihe banks of the Fatner of Waters, follow the Hiustrious example set them by poople of ali ages, countries ahd cies, and stow away @ little to make the old Woulan smilie aud keep Out Stinging poverty und keen-tongued hunger, LOW that winter is commug? We ave not apologizing for thieves, only giving all siaes of the case, Let tie public judge. But they bad some jolly times, and may be eaid to have danced a lively double shame over the graves of the lil-fated Stonewall passengers. For, swigging whiskey and sherry on board the boat to their heart's content, they drank coplously fn the boats going home, for rowing was hard work, and then they took friendly drinks on their way home, and when they reached their huts they gathered together round colossal wood fires and bela high carnival laa rustic way till ey dawn, They told stories all night Jong, danced, shouted and drank. ‘hey conned over their deeds of plratical valor at former wrecks— drank to more wrecs in the future, and golag back in the recesses of thelr huts and cabins brought forth for the gaze of curtosity maay relics of former thefts and sovve.ii's of other accidents and TalsDape, but vowed that this was the best of them all. By and by they grew top-heavy: inuch wine had mado them mad, and like Noah of old, by! went out io the ‘Woods and laid down and slept off their huge drunks and gigantic ingbriations, They drank not from cup or tumbler, but drew whiskey by the paiiful, and guzzied 16 down like water, and no wonder some of them had bad dreams, and said tn the Tnorn- Ing, “Stranger, Thad a dream; lai dizzy, Lthonght I Was in aboat at sea.

This would seem to corroporate the view that there are still more bodies in the sand buried in the bar, were it not for the fact that whe draggiug 0a Sunday was so thorough and comple, THR DRAGGING.

Gowdy aud Lewis Murray, piled their drag in a bee-line from the bank Ww the wreck, to and fro, Then a'ongside of the wreck, aratel with the shore, and then diagonally, and ‘nally ail the way across, through, and round about. ‘Tuus the work was mos! thoroughly and scienfcally doue, and of the fiity-one bodies found, only five were found beiow this range thus marked out. Many will wonder, and especiaily river men, why 80 few reached the shore, when the bank was only 200 yards distant, There are several reasons why the didicuities were ao great, The Water was in- tensely cold; the wind strong, blowmg from tne shore; the eddy formed by tie boas lyfam on the bar Giso strong; 80 t none but stous swinmers or men With life preservers stood any sort of a chance ol reaching the shore. ‘Those who were picked from the water Were nearly chilled to deach and fell ex- hausted upon reaching the boat which picked them up, or the bank, where the hospitabie tres warmed ine into them, The heat was intense, the smoke dense, the panic perfectly uncontrollable; further- more, the clothes of the ualoruudate victuns becaiae iced and frozen and seriously impeded ther swim- mung, and this fact alone woud have pre. venied many from reacuing landing Diaces, Thus much for those who jmnped from the stern Of the boat among the mules, horses and panic- stricken crew of the jower deck.
