This steamer left Fall River last night at a little before eight o'clock, with one of the most melancholy living burdens ever borne by any vessel, having on board about two hundred and seventy of the survivors of the wreck of the ill-fated steamer Atlantic. These men have come chiefly by the steamer Falmouth from Halifax to Portland, thence by rail to Boston, and from that city to Fall River by the Old Colony and Newport Rail- road. They reached Boston early yesterday morn- ing, and as they stepped from the train were met by Mr. Murdoch, of the White Star line, and Officer Perry, irom the company’s dock at Jersey City, who had come on ‘from New York to take charge of them. There was also quite a strong squad of Boston police to escort them, With the exception Of two or three whose limbs had been frost-bitten they all marched under the police escort to Fan- euil Hall, and were followed by a large crowd of People, whose curiosity to sec them was so great that it was with difficulty the police could keep them srom swarming down on the little PHALANX OF UNFORTUNATES. «it Faneuil Hall the Mayor and other prominent citizens were present as a committee to attend to the necessities of the shipwrecked men. Several large tables had been spread fer breakfast, and in hort time the men were satisfying their hunger the hospitaple hands of the people of city. A police guard was main- the door to prevent at “the Hub” tained at of the crowd outside and to prevent the unfortu- intrusion | mate men themselves from getting out. This latter precaution was providential,as each man of the batch, had he got outside, might have found twenty Dhilanthropists who would have “taken him in tow” and donbilees have treated him generously ; but it was feared that they might become too convivial in their generosity, and that a still greater number of the men than those who were crippled might have to be carried to the railway Station. The men passed their time in the nall in eating, drinking (coffee, &c.), talking, letter- writing and in describing their misfortunes to such gentlemen as were permitted to enter. It was noticeable too that almost whenever any citi- ven was engaged in conversation with their guests, he usually went down in his pants pocket for his wallet before leaving them, and the result was quite an inspection, by the sea-waifs, of our various de- nominations and issues of legal tender. The very much sought individual was’ little Johnny Hanley, THE ONLY CHILD SAVED from the wreck. Everybody wanted to see him, and at times there was much confusion around him in consequence of this desire. At last some practical individuai procured a table and seated Johnny at It and laid a sheet of paper and pencil on the table. The hint was taken, and Johnny now has that paper with him with the autographs of some Of Boston’s generous people on one margin and | some of their figuring ou the other, A gentleman connected with the Boston Traveller took Johnny around to the office of that journal “to show him to the editors.’’ On the way Johnny } was followed by a crowd, and when he entered the office they clambered about the doors and windows | to see him. A large number of gentlemen also | called in to see and talk to him, and all seemed to | Jook upon him as the result of a miracle. | “Poor little fellew,” remarked a gentieman who had just finished asking him some questions, Turning to a bystauder the gentleman said, “Has he got any money *"" “Not a cent,"’ was the reply. “Nota cent! Yes he has, too, for I'll give him | one,” and the gentleman “drew his leather’? and “a subscription for Johuny” netted about thirty dollars before it closed.

(Petry thinks iE waeeoause be was in that carriuge, but it's notso.) As the train leit the depot the crowd gave a parting cheer, and upon its arrival at Fall River quite tat hering of people was at the steamboa‘ dock to see them. They were soon marched on board the Newport, and half anhour afterward one side of the grand dining saloon was filled by them as they sat dewn | to enjoy a first class meal. They were brought to the cining room in squads of about sixty, as.it was unpossible to accommodate them all it one time without displacing The reguiar passengers. Sup- per ended, the poor fellows tramped about between decks, smoked, und were interviewed by the pas- sengers and peeped at by the ladies ‘om the railing of the staircase of the grand saloon, An hour later and they had gone below, and, while some of them curied up jor a good sleep in the clean, nice berths, tie majority of them pulled their palliases ont on the carpeted Heor and chose to sleep there. At ten o’cleck, when nearly ail had gone to bed, it was A CURIOUS SCENE to stand on the stairs and look down at the irregn- Jar array of sleepers. Their positions. with limbs drawn up or half extended and arms thrown over | their heads and in every Conceivable shape, was altogether too suggestive of scenes that marked ad ok Rights beiere the fatal shore they mad 80 elt. Almost all of these men are young, and but one or two of them are married—or, rather, widewers— Jor almost all tie married men were drowned, as they slept with their wives, These, too, are clad in aimost every variety of cestume, new and old, and not one in ten of them, it may be noticed, has even sufficient spare wardrobe to make a hand- kerchief bundic, ‘This Merning, apon their arrival at New York, they will be taken to Castle Garden and registered and will be provided with accommodations until they are ready te proceed to their respective conversed with quite a number of them last ht, but they all tell substantially the same nar- Fauve, ‘Ther is oue, however, whose whole pure NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, APRIL 7, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET. Toundings seem so pecuar that his story will, beyond doubt, be interesting te the public, 60 i append it in full, as I obtained it from him. LITTLE JOHNNY HANLEY, the child of the lost Atlantic, is rene f and cherry boy of apparently nine years of age. His feat are well jormed and his ey: large and ofa deep gray hue, with long dark lashes. As he appears now one would take him to be a sort of mumiature purser on the hulf shell, for some good or just out of ple in Halifax ht him a regular sea Jooket of blue cloth, with b pit buttons and @ navy cap, which 1s algo trimmed with gut buttons and cord, The unfortunate little fellow lost his father and mother and a brother, nineveen years of age, his only surviving relatives being two sisters, re- siding in Newark, N. J., one of Whom is married. Jounny is the pet of all the survivors and the “lion’? of the lace in all the towns through which the company have His pockate are generally well supplied with nuts, candy ana fruit, and the way the ladies “buzz” him and fondle him is a feartul premonition of what his future career ‘will be if they contin: heir attentions, He says he is English and comes from Ashton, but does not know in what shire that town is situated nor his own age. He speaks with a strong English ac- cent and 18 quite a child in manner, for it seems almos, tm ible to fix his attention seriously upon the leariul scenes through which he has passed, Indeed he seems scarcely to realize ite terrers or the fact that his father and mother are among the victims of that awiul night. Last evening, however, alter talking to him for some ime, I d to induce him to sit by me at a time, I manage table in the saloon of tae Newport, assuring him that I would not detain him long, and obtained from him the details of HI8 RECOLLECTIONS OF THE SHIPWRECK. Gould, the railway magnate, and quite a number of other gentlemen, crowded about the tavle and listened to such portions of the child’s narrative as they could hear, but he was so in- tently engaged playing with his fingers and scratching the marble of the table top that they had difticulty in hearing more than eccasional re- plies to my questions. I asked, ‘Did you sleep with your father and and mother on the night of the wreck, Jonnny “Oh, no, sir,” he answered. ‘The married peo- ple slept in one part of the ship and the single people in another, and so I wouldn't be allowed to sleep with them. I slept with my brother.” “What was the first t) you knew o/ the wreck of the snij p “1 heard the ship hit again’ the rock; it seemed like a big noise and woke me OB.

Tell me all you remem- ber now of what yeu did?’ JOHNNY WRIGGLED A LITTLE and looked around as though he wanted to get away Irom the New York reporter and run aboat in the handsomely furnished and decorated saloon, “Go on, Johnny, and tell me,’ I said, “how long were you in that berth?” “think Iwas there about two hours or more, and then I remember the men were shoutin’ to the men outside the ship to break the windew in. There was a man outside as took a hammer or somethin’ and knocked in the glass, and I saw six or seven men pass up through the window Jrom the bed where I was.”” “Why didn’t you go out of the porthole or ‘win- dow,’ as you call it? “T couldn’t reach it. These men went up through it and didn’t say anything to me.” “Was the ship turned over ou her side then?” “Yes, she was layin’ over, and 1 crawled over the berth and on to the up side of it when she turned."? “Then this ‘dead light’—this window—was in the side of the ship, bui was up over your head, was it? Icouldn’t reach up to it, but some “Yes, sir. men lifted me up to it, and then some more men that was outside took hold. of my arm and pulled me up.’ “How long do you think you were outside on the ship’s side?” “I think about two hours.’” “Were there any people out there with you?” “Oh yes, there was plenty of other men there, and I was among them.’ “Did the sea wet you out there?” Yes. It beat over about ovary ten minutes—it was like rain falliog; it was the highest part of we ship there, up for’a’d.”” bs) “What did you see next?” “7 see’d a little boat come to us, but it wasn’t Wrong enough and tiey eoukin’t reach us.” “Did you see any women there on that part of the ship?” “No, there was no women there, not as I see’d.

There was a ree many people in the boat; they Was sittin’ all round the sides of the beat.’ “Did any ef the men try to keep you from getting pel or hold you between their knees or any- bing “No; I don’t think so. They had to hold on, and they was all wet enough themselves.” ‘ pap did you see your father and mother asi “I see’d ’em that night when I went to bed.” “And never saw them after that 1’ . “No, sir.” “Did your brother speak to you when he got out of bed *” “Yes, he said as I had better get up, and then he went out and I haven’t seen him since he went away. “Did you see anybody you know that night?’ “Yes, I see’d the man as slept in the next berth to me; that was outside the ship, and I WAS CRYING WITH THE COLD, and he took hold of me and told me not to be cry- ing; but I wasn’t crying for the first hour or so.” “Did you kuow what was the matter!” “I knew we had hit on a rock or something, be- cause somebody said so, and I heard the neise.”” BA there many little boys like yourself on the ship? “Yes, there was a good many there, but they were very near all Germans, I don’t remember seein’ any of ’em that night.’ “Did you see any peopie drowned off the ship?’ “I didn’t see anybody drownin’ at all—only two men." “Did you see them sink in the water?’ “Yes, sit.’ “Did you bods line that was stretched from the “ship to the rock? “Yes, sir.

ANOTHER TALE OF THR WRECK. I had a conversation also with the only cabin passenger comprised in this party of survivors— Henry Hirzei, a young man from Zurich, Switzer- land.” He isa graduate of the Swiss Agricultural | College, and had emigrated to America to engage in agricultural pursuits. He is decididly intelligent and possesses an excellent bak despite the dim- culty he experiences in speaking English, of coa- veying his ideas ia a crisp and direct manner. Mr, Hirzel says the weather had been partially unpleas- | ant or rough and changeable during the latter days of the voyage, and on Monday, March 31, about noon, the ship's course was laid for Halifax. About three or twenty minutes past three o'clock on the morning of April 1 I was awakened from my sieep by three very sharp shocks, Bl | in quick suc- cession, with intervals, as near as ican judge, of perhaps two minutes. I didn’t leave my berth when the drst blow was struck, as I nad no thought @f such a thing as shipwreck, and | stayed still unttl after the second, Thedirst shock Was @ sharp knock, that made a crashing noise, and shook the whole ship, The ship seemed to stick jast jor a ement, and the engines stopped work- ing for a short time and then began working again, The Vessel then struck a second time and the en- gines stopped working completely. I ran up to the deck as quickly as possible and found one of the oMcers and some men burning Fee ligkts and discharging rockets, but they only discharged two or three, a3 they were wet and would not ignite readily. I heard the Captain and officers erder the boats to be lowered, but, (be 3 know, only one was got overboard and a crowd of people rusned into it. The Captain next ordered every- body to GO UP THE RIGGING if they wanted to save their lives, I ‘ent up almost immediately, as the water was ing and there was a strong tide. At first there were a great many passengers up the ri but by ones oud tyos they came down apd o reach the where the land itne was being rigged. tatiempt to use that line, I saw forty or fifty people try to go over to the rock, and 1 saw quite a number of them washed of. ane didn’t seem co be of ally use. 1 saw three or four women at the head of the stairs leading to the sa- loon. ‘They appeared to'be greatly frightened, and soon after that I saw twe of them who had come on the deck, washed amas be awave. The others didn't come out on deck. They were the only women | saw except one from the sterage, who came up into the rigging and. was frozen to death, as you have read in the papers, I was taken off by some fishermen whe had broaght a tew boats there about daylight, 1 cannot say anything about the Captain’s conduct, because he was .orward and I was astern. I saw no childrer come up te the deck that night, because the women and children were all down in the stern of the ship and that Part sunk first. About ten minutes alter the ship struck she began to roll over on her sid kept turning that way until the de: straight up and the ends of the yardarms were down in the water, Of course we could not remain on a deck in that position and we clambered out to the side of the ship that was lying uppermost. The waves dashed over the ship irom both sides and the passengers were wet both backwards and for- wards, an MANY OF THEM WERE WASHED AWAY, Ithink the passengers acted very coolly, and I should have expected that there would have been much more noise trom screaming, crying and pray- ing than there was. In the beginning T heard a few praying, but not very many, was taken of In the it boat ‘that leit the wreck, the first ofMcer being left behind in the rigging. The life preservers were very poor, because I saw 4 great many people tn the water with them on, who struggled en their faces and on their backs and sometimes their heads wentunder, 1 saw one man who tried to ge to the shore on a floating fragment of the wheel-house. He got from it on te the rock, but was washed off and lost aiterwards. It was generally understood when I left the wreck that the boilers had exploded when the water rushed in on them, the force of the explosion being downwards and sidewise. 1 know of no other facts that I can give you except such as have been already published, I am going to Bernardsville, N.J., where I have some acquaint- ances residing, WHAT THE DEAD OFFICER SAID. Hearing that one ef the survivors present had heard a “short and sharp” dialogue on the night of the disaster concerning the course of tne vessel, I inquired jor him, and found a man of perhaps thirty years of age, named John Holland, a native of Standish, Lancashire, but ior the past seventeen years a resident of Belfast. TI asked him in relation to it and he made a statement as follows:— “Well, sir, 1 was on deck about an hour and twenty minutes before the ship struck and over- heard the quartermaster tell the second officer that he was ‘too near tne land,’ and the reply was that he (the quartermaster) was ‘neither a captain nor a@ mate,’ and that he ‘knew too much.’ I heard this myself, and I thoughr the second eiticer was under the influence of liquor. Tins wartermaster Thomas was the man that got the rst line ashore, i saw him take the line to the rock by tying the line around his body dnd jump- ing into the sea and swimming to the rock. The same min took the first line trom that rock to the shore. I say this because other men have claimed the honor of the deed, and I think it sheuld go Where it belongs. I saw Thomus take those lines. With regard to the mutilation of bodies to obtain jewelry by the crew, I can only say that I did not see any of the crew do that, but I saw them offer- ing to sell the rings on the steamer Delta coming up to Halifax. Brady, the third mate, who claims to have taken the line ashore, was, in fact, about the sixth man to get ashore, THE BRAVEST WORK of all, Ithink, was done by William Hoy, who was on the rock all the time helping out the passengers who came over onthe line. They could not get out of the water, and he stoed there and lifted them out until he became almost exhausted, and his hands were so numbed with the cold that he couldn’t grasp them at ail at last. Tien he ac- tually reached down and took hold of their clothes with his teeth and lifted quite a number out in that way. It was gallant work. The trouble about that line was there were teo many at one time on it, for I saw several of them let go and drown, The Captain made the mistake of hurrying them too fast off the ship, and they got en the line faster than they could be taken out of the water at the rock, There ure plenty of men here about me nuw who will verify what I say now. And there is another thing in regard to the first officer, Firth, When he was on the rigging with Mrs, Bateman, the ey who was (rozen to death, he was not there trying to save her, but he was there because he had not up to that time had A CHANCE TO GET OFF. He was one of the first to run up the rigging and the last to come down, because these who went up | last were in front of him. Mr. Bateman 1s now in | Boston, and he told me that his wife asked Firth if he would help her to get to the front of the ship, he taking one hand and her husband the other, and Firth refused todo tt, This 1s actually what Mr. Bateman, who was a steerage passenger as well as myself, told me,”’ lobtained quite a number of statements from ponent ta but the facta 1 have given above em- body ali that isin any way new. The others are mainly similar to the parratives already published. A YOUNG NEW YORKER. Among the cabin passengers saved was Mr. Free- man D. Marcwald, a young New Yorker, now in the employ of Thompson, Langdon & Co., of 391 Broadway. He has remained at the scene of the wreck ever since the fatal night, in order that he might identify the bodies of the dead cabin pas- sengers. He has also forwarded to the HERALD some valuable information regarding the de- ceased who were residents of this ell Mr. Marcwald was born in Brooklyn in 1844, was educated at the Brooklyn pubiic schools and has never done business im any other city than New York.

Landing at Castle Garden—A Sad Sight— Stories of Survivors—Starting for New Homes—Provisions for Their Comfort. The little steamer William Fletcher left Castle Garden yesterday morning upon the arrival of the emigrants at pier No. 23 North River and steamed up to the foot of Murray street. There were on beard a number of representatives of the Emigra- tion Commission, of the White Star line and of the newspaper press. The careworn and desolate looking men, to the number of 263, who survived the herrors of that terrible night, were quickly transferred to the Fletcher. ‘They were not delayed by baggage. Their beds and countless articles of tin- ware, the essential accompaniments of a voyage in the steerage, had been all left behind them. The scene of disembarkation reminded one of the return of poor unfertunates who had passed the best years of their dives inthe galleys. Their faces, without exception, wore the haggard look which betokens intense inward struggles with man’s better feel" ings. One by one these careworn looking men— some having their entire earthly effects enclosed in a large red handkerchief—crossed the gang-plank. Nota few were foot-sore and required the assist. ance of friends, The long hours of that awful night on the rocks, without any shelter from the biting winds, had resulted in frozen teet and crippied limbs. YET NO GROANS OR COMPLAINTS WERE UTTERED. The men appeared to sully realize their situation, and to know that nothing but ieelings of the most sincere kindness inhabited the breasts ef all who wittéssed the sad scene. Here were men who had left dead children, brothers, sisters and wives buried on the shore near Prospect. Only a few short weeks ago they had been In the enjoyment of humble, though happy homes, in the countries ‘veyond the sea, but now they were left nothing but their own wretched lives, Friends and re- latives gone, the beauties of this great country which had buoyed their hopes for so many days had fled, and the prospects of a prosperous career were as naught compared to their wretchedness. When they had al! beeu transferred to the Pletcher the listle steamer returned to Castle Gar- den. She came alongside the wharf at twenty minutes past seven A. M., but the earliness of the hour did not prevent its being thronged with Anxious people, The morning had opeued cloudy and threatening. A cool raw air was blowing up from the bay. Taken all in all, it was a gloomy morning and tended to render the sad scene of tbat lan ding more impressive than it weuld other- wise have been. The oid trees on the Battery wore the look of mourning as their leafless branehes swayed in the fresh moruing air, It almost seemed aa if thereewas something sad in the sky, and a ¥ Nature hersel! sat eioomily by the side of dead ie buried hopes and leves, From early ou Saturda, evening the friends of coming emigrayy(s had ma! tained their places om the whorl Sverlooking the sea wall, The night atr may have stiffened their limbs, but it did not ehill their hearts nor cool their friendly sympatay. When the steamer touched the whari those waiting Watched intently tor t of expected relatives or friends, THE BRUISED AND FOOTSORE were assisted ashore in the kindliest manner® Tha usual scenes of impertinent policemen and heart- Jess deck hands pusaing and urging the poor strang- ers up the ng-plank were not seen yesterday, The absence such treatment could not but be noticed, so unusual was it. ate the long row of men entered the walis of the old building and took their places for enrolment.

EMIL CHRISTIANSON, born at Erfde, in Schiesswig-Holstein, in 1850, and educated for a physician at the colleges of Kiel and Giessen, was a passenger on board the Atlan- tic. He took passage in the steerage with three others who were iriends of his, There were also on boara four young ladies and two little children, from the neighborhood of Erfde. With one of these young ladies Christianson had been acquainted irom childhood, the others he became acquainted with on the voyage. From the day when he went on board at Liverpool to the end of the unlucky voyage he ciaims thai the food was never of good quality, though plentiful, and there was not a suffl- cient supply of water. Dr. Christiansom was asleep when the vessel struck. The shock was tremen- dous, but did not throw him from his berth. He was partially dressed, and, thrusting his feetinto a pair of slippers, he hastily ascended to the upper deck, At the hatchway a ship’s oMcer stopped him and ordered him below, saying 11's ALL RIGHT. Boys, you have no right on deck at night.” Chris- tianson said he had a right to see what caused so great a shock tothe ship, and the officer must let him pass or he would box his (the otticer’s) ears. Alter some altercation the officer allowed him to pass up, In the meantime his friends had followed, and one or them, intimidated by the oficer’s manner, was about to return when Christianson stopped him, and thus saved his lite. On ee the deck the full danger was at once apparent. ‘The sca was not heavy, au though the sky was a little overcast the rock upon which the ship had struck was plainly { visible to seaward under the starboard bow, and astern the shore of Prospect Island loomed up in- distinct in the gray of early dawn. An hour alter the people upon the island could be plainly seen. Christianson, thinking of a girlish piaymate, ran below and to the stern of the vessel | to save her, and just as he came near the mizzen- | mast A HEAVY SEA SWEPT OVER THE DECKS and he, finding he was too late, rushed back and to the upper deck. At this moment the Captain (Williams) shouted for men to clear one of the Iife- boats, Christianson rushed forward and began to cut away the boat. It was 1ound to be nailed fast, and the nails had te be drawn. When the ropes haé all been cleared away. with the exception of three small ones in the hands of Christianson and one other passenger, the Captain and his officers suddenly left for another part of the ship, and the lifeboat, giving a great lurch, threw Christianson’s companion into the sea. The boat in its return lurch fell-upon the Doctor's right hand, crushing It. With his left hand, however, he caught @ man rope and passed himscif along towards the bow as THE SHIP GRADUALLY WENT DOWN stern first. The morning was very cold, and the | sea Was washing over them. Two passengers ut | his side became benumbed by the cold, and, letting sunk into the sea and were drownet Some of the sailors, according to Christianson, tarust the | passengers away from the ropes, in 0 r to get their places and save themselves. About seven o’clock a few of the islanders were seen bring- ing a oat across the land frem the opposite shore. It was a small boat, however, and the sea had by that time grown so violent that it was ef no use. Half an hour later, two large life-saving boats were brought over, launched and came to | the rescue. In the meantime the ropes which had been carried to the rock on the starboard side had been the means of SAVING A HUNDRED OR MORE of the passengers, but the rope swinging from the rock to the shore had been little used. ‘The life- | boats in their first haif dozen vrips took the People he who remained upon the rock, then, beMeviug ship would soon break to pieces, came alongsice and began to take tne others oi. The third time the boat came along side, and just as they were rowing away. Christianson, who could no longer maintain his hold on the rope, fell into the sea. | The voat put back and he was drawn up from the | water, It was then ten o'clock. On arriving at the beach he was unable to walk, and two men took him in their arms and carried him to A FISHERMAN’S COTTAGE. It was crowded and there was no room for him. He was taken to another cottage, and irom this jie, ashore and took possexsion of it. Dr. Christianson says that he saw the sailors from the Atiantic re- cover the bodies washing ashore, and that, in the presence of himself and many other passengers, they robbed the bodies of the women of the rings upon their fingers and wrenched the earrings from thefr eais. The Doctor Cy the warmest manner of those who so kindly aided himself and fellow passengers in Halifax, Boston and New York. He has jost all his ¢lothes and private papers, in- cluding letters of Waereduetioy. from his German professors tg wedi in country, WILLIAM GLENFIELD, aged twenty-six (married and wife lost), was one of the three married men saved out of the aiter- steerage. He comes from a tt Devonshire, and Was going to Chicago, Gienfieid was in | America before, and went bi to England jast Fall to marry the wite he has lost, He was caugit | between the lifeboat and the davits when the boat | was carried away with three of the crew and swamped. He then clung to the rigging, though his right hand was badly bruised, He remained in the mizzen rigging five hours, the sea washing over him at intervals, From the mizzen rigging he crept to the matin rigging, and there clung for two hours and a half longer, when he was taken by the last boat to the shere. Mr. Glenfleld, who is an intelligent workman, lost wife, money, clotues und everything. He is entirely destitute. His wife’s trunk, Washed ashore, was rifed by the sailors, from whom he succeded in recovering @ few valueless things—a pair of slip- pers and other minor artic! souvenirs of his brief honeymoon.

The long hall of the Hart’s Island Bureau Was thronged with a great gathering. There were strong men weeping torrents of tears not wom- po a wolnen whose eyes were red en W! a than nr ‘ grief that had lasted longer e little boy who escaped through the port hole, and to whoin the ladies of Halifax resented anavy suit, was recelyed with a perfect tempest of hys- terical laughter, of sobs and tears.

Reporters, policemen an vagabonds all shed tears at the sad spectacle, it was hours before the crowd finally deserted the place, some going home brim full of happiness, and some with sad and broken hearts.

LATEST FROM THE WRECK. HALIrAx, N. S., April 6, 1873. Fourteen bodies were recovered yes.erday, all of them by grappling. To-day, the weather being very favorable, divers worked for the purpose of finding bodies, and twenty-seven, all apparently steerage passengers, were recovered. Many of them bad considerable sums of money. One whose name ap- peared, from papers found in his pocket, to be Crooke, had a bill of exchange fer £200 and consid- erable money besides. The divers’ crews number sixty-five men, PUTTING THE BODIES UNDERGROUND. The only bodies now remaining uncofined on | the shere ate those found to-day, all the others having been buried or coffined ready for burial. Those recognized by prayer books, &c., as Roman Catholics were taken to Terrence Bay, a few miles distant, and buried in the Catholic Cemetery. ‘The remainder have been buried in the Episcopal Cemetery at Prospect. SOME DEAD FROM SUFFOCATION. Some of the bodies breught up to-day showed | that they died by suffugation and not by drowning, As the bodies are brought up by the divers they are placed in a boat under the charge of George Longard, a Justice of the Peave, and conveyed to the hillside on Ryan’s Island, where Edmund Ryan, another magistrate, receives them and takes from them all money and valuabies, noting them in a book, with such marks of identification as can be found on the persons, HALIFAX THIEVES AT WORK. Four men, belonging to Halifax, picked up a bale of silk, appropriated it and sold a part of it. The Customs authorities heard of it, recovered most of the silk and arrested one man.

Hine’ April 6, 18 The report of a steamer being ashore at Spry Harbor is not likely to be correct. Communication with that place could not be obtained to-day. Ves- | py the family of the owner, sels which passed there a day or two ago say there was an old wreck there which drifted ashore some time ago, and men were breaking it up. Probably the schooner which made the report saw the wreck | at a short distance and mistook it for a steamer. A TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE. —_——+—__-—.

A Colored Murderer in North Carolina After Being Sentenced to Death Succeeds in Having His Case Transferred to the Federal Courts—The Question Now in the United States Supreme Court. RALBIGH, N. C., April 6, 1873. There has just been published here the legal his- tory of a murder case, which brings in conflict tha State Courts and the United States Courts, and in which, if the defendant is successful, the result will be to destroy the jurisdiction of State Courta in future in any similar case in the South. In De« cember, 1868, while an assault and battery case was tried by the Mayor of Charlotte, an alterca- tion eccurred between a man named H. Gleesom and a negre named Lee Dunlop. The circumstanceg are that, during the pending investigation Gleesom advanced and asked His Houer‘if he permitted cer+ tain Indecent language to be used in his Court, referring te abusive words made use of by Dunlop toa@man named Asher in the court room, The negro Dunlop then became mvolved in a quarrel with Gleeson, because of the latter's complaint, with the result that after Dunlop had appiled to Gleeson the most horrible epithet known to our tongue, he followed that up by drawing his pistoy and shooting Gleeson twice through the body, from the eflects of Which he sven aiterwards dieds A despatch to the HERALD gave the full details of ‘the crime the day it was perpetrated, and it wag characterized at the time as u cold blooded agsas- sination ina Mayor's courtroom. Atthe Spring tern 1869 of the Mecklenburg Superior Court, the Grand Jury found atrue bill agaist Dunlop for murder, but on the affidavit of the deiendant that he could not get a fair trial in Meckienburg the case Was removed by Judge Logan to Lincoln county, The trial came off at the Fall term 1870 of the Lincoln Superior Court, and resulted in the conviction of the defendant, the jury rending a verdict of guilty of imirder, and Duntop was soom alterward sentenced to be executed. The counsel for the defendant appealed to the Supreme Court of the State for a new trial on the ground that Judge Logan, of the Superior Court, in- structed the jury madvertentiy, it is said, that on an indictinent for murder they could not find the prisoner guilty of mansiaughters sSiim as was the ground, the Supreme Court of the State did grant a new trial on the ostenlibla mistake of the presiding Judge, and thus a felom guity of a most wiliul, malicious and horrible mur« der, Was allowed a new trial because of either the incompetency or the prejudice of the Superior Court Judge. Dunlop then made affidavit that he could not get a fair trial in Lincoln county, and at his instance the case was sent back to Mecklen- burg to be tried at the Spring Term (i871) of | Mecklenburg Court. A motion Was made by the prisoner's counsel ta trausier the case to the Circuit Court of the United States for the district of North Carolina, ‘To obtain this transier Dunlop filed an attidavit in substance as follows:—That he (Dunlop) was a colored man and an active repubiican; that Gleeson, the murdered man, was a democrat; that colored men were summoned on juries; that by reason of his being @ former slave he believed ha could not get justice In a State Court, and that | persistent etforts had been made te give the homi« | Gide @ political cast. His affidavit was brought | betore tne same Judge Logan who had sentenced Dunlop, and he decided that the prisoner had a right to have his case moved to the Circuit Cour ol the United States, and or@ered the removal of the indictment accordmgly. The Supreme Cour@ of the State granted the transfer uader the act of Congress, 9th April, 1866, and ordered that the State Courts proceed no further until notified of the action of the Circuit Court of the United States, Under the act ef Congress of March 1%, 1863, the Supreme Court held, however, that it was an error on the part of Judge Logan to order the removal of the indictment to the United States Court, but upon the censtruction of this act of Congress, they were of the opinion that where the desendant makes an aMdavit that he cannot obtain a tain trial, by reason of prejudice, on account of color, in the State courts, he hag the rigut te have the cause removed tothe United States Circuit Court. So the case Was removed trom Mecklenburg county to United States Circut Court at Raleigh. At tl June term, 1872, of the Cireuit Gourt, United States Attorney, D. H. Starbuck, and Attorney General | Shipp, on the part of the State of North Carolina, | made a motion usking the cause to be remanded té Mecklenburg for trial, it appearing trom the tran- script of the record of the Supreme Court of that county that it had jurisdiction in the matter. At the September term, 1872, ol the United Stated Circuit Court, Judge brooks presiding, the Court refused the motion to remand, whereupon Star. buck, as the record shows, on the part of the United States, took an appeal to the Supreme Court of t United States. At the last session of the Legis! ture a resolutiOn was passed, anthorizing the At- torney General of North Carolina, on the part of the State, to prosecuie the appeal in the Supreme Court of the United states. ‘This is one @f the most impertant questions which has yet arisen under the Civil Rights bill, If it be decided that the United States Circuit Court, under the act of A article, then, under the ction of law, any felon will be allowed to remove his case upon affidavit to the federal courts, The Supreme Court ef the State, in rendering its decision in favor of a ree Inoval of the case, say! “This is a result deeply to be regretted; but if | grows out of the supposed prejudice of white citi: zens, men, women and children, against the colored citizens, and the Court can only say, $0 the law is written.’? This case creates an unusual degree of interest in legal circles in this and other States. YACHTING NOTES.
