The Stanaard of to-day contains an exceedingly violent article against the celebration by tne Americans. It says none but Americans would venture upon such a display of bad taste and dis. courtesy as was shown in yesterday's celebration, and none but the English would tolerate it. It bardly decent for any loyal Knglisiman to par- ticipate in the celebration of English dtsasters, The American insurrection was about the most unprovoked rebellion in history. In the present times forbearance and conciliation on the Eng- hash side is returned by America witn insult and abuse, which is only encountered by cringing flattery, and this Dean Stanley calls “reconcilta- tion and peace making.” ‘Tne Standard, in concluaing Its article, say: “Among Americans there are but few not actually participating in the general system of pubdiic plunder in their country wno would not joyfully exchange their institutions for the order, honesty and loyalty of this Empire, from which a century ago they made their insane revoit.” M.

A Steam Tug, with a Pleasure Party, Sunk in Hampton Roads. SAD END OF A FOURTH OF JULY EXCURSION Details of the Accident as Given by the Survivors. THE RESCUED AND THE LOST. Aw Official Investigation of the Collision To Bé Made. PoRTsMOUTH, Va., July 6, 1875, Last night, about eleven o'clock, a earful accident occurred in Hampton Roads, caused by the collision between the steamer Isaac Bell, of the old Dominion Ioe, and the tug Lumberman, by which ten lives were lost. The Lumberman, With @ private excursion party, was returning from Old Point, after the fre works, and when about a mile this side of Vue de Leau was run into by the Bell and sunk instantly. The following were on the Lumterman at the time of the colliston, LIST OF PASSENGERS, Captain Brown, of the tug, and wite. Mrs. Sarah Hudgins. Jesse Freederici and wife, Captain G. W. Baker and wife, Miss Borum, Harry Borum. James Borum. Captain Cook. Joseph T. Wilson. Cc, D, Jenkins, W. W. Green. James Craft, engineer,’ J, W. Wright, flreman, Clara, cclored, cook at Mrs. Hudgins’ boarding house. STORY OF THE SURVIVORS, From the survivs we learn that up toa mo- ment or so before the collision there was not the slightest idea that the boats would collide, The Bell was seen coming down the harbor and her | movements watched. Whistles were blown, but, as before stated, ber proximity was not noticed until a moment or so previously, whew in an in- stant the Lumberman was CRUSHED LIKE AN EGG SHELL. The first cry of warning was from Mr, Baker, who cried out to Captain Brown that the Isaac Bell would be down upon us, ana ina flash the col- Uston occurred, The steamer Isaac Bell immedi- ately stopped and put out her boats to the rescue and succeeded in picking up:— THE RESCUED Captain Brown and wife. G. W. Baker, ‘The Engincer aia Jesse Freederict, These were placed on the steamer Banks, which had been signalled by the Isaac Bell. The boats also pickea up W. W. Green. J. W. Wright, fireman, and C.D, Jenkins, the steward of the Lumberman, These were placed on the United States tug Snowdrop, which had also been signalled. Tn: following 1s a jist of those SUPPOSED TO BE LOST:— Mrs. Elizabeth Hudgins, Mrs. G. W. Baker. Mrs, Jesse Freedericy Miss Marion Borum, Mr, Harry Boram. Mr. James 0. Borum. Mr. Joseph J. Wilsce Captain Ea. Cook. Mr. James Crait, Aunt Clora, the colored woman who was cook at Mrs. Hudgins’ boarding house at the time of the collision, Captain Brown and wife were in the pilot house, Mr. Baker and wife and Mr. Freederici and wife were seated just in front o1 the pilot house, Miss Borum and Mrs. Hudgins were seated on somo water tanks, and just in their front, seated on the “bits,” were the cousins Harry and James Brown. Mr. Green was standing at tne right of the pilot house, close to the door, looking at the Willoughby Spit Light, when his attention ‘was attracted by the cry of Mr. Baker, and sering the danger, he immediately started to the aft of the tug to jump off, Before he got half way he was in the water, Mr. Baker clung to bis wife until he was dragged from her by the wheels of the Bell, parted in like manner. When he was picked up the CRIES OF A WOMAN attracted the attention of those who saved him, and the boat started in the direction of the cry. Soon & woman was found floating on the waters, and, lifting her in the boat, Captain Brown im. mediately orted out, “on, my God, my wife!” The two young Borums were cousins and were known by nearly the entire community and re. Spected and esteemed by all. Their loss, united with that of Miss Marian Borum, the sister of James 0, Borum, is one of THE SADDEST FEATURES of this terrible catastrophe. A detachment of the Knights of Pythias and Odd Fellows, to which a sociations the Messrs. Borum belonged, are on the tug FE. B. Lane witn drag ropes, &c., to search for the bodies, having also a howitzer to fire over the Spot where the collision occurred for the purpose of bringing the bodies to the surface. ‘The sad affair bas cast a gloom over the two communities. Engineer Craits became A RAVING MANIAC soon after the recetpt of the shocking intelligence. There is a report that one of the Borams saved himself by swimming to Vue de Lean, THE FEELING IN NORFOLK—THE RESPONSIBIIL- ITY NOT YET FIXED—THREE OF THE BODIES RECOVERED. Norrovk, Va., July 6, 1875, The sinking of the tug Lumberman, last night, Nas created a profound sensation here. Various ‘rumors are afloat as to who was to blame, but no definite conclusion can be arrived at until an oMicial investigation takes place. Tt persons Were drowned and oniy THRER BODIES ‘have beon recovered, Two of these, Joseph Wuson and Miss Borum, were found near Fortress Mon- roe, nearly two miies from the scene of the disas- ter. The body of Mra, Frederict was found near Sewell’s Point. A section of the Norfolk Light Artillery Biues bave to-day been firing twelve. pounder guns about the spot where the bodies are supposed to be lying.

THE DROWNING AT ROCKAWAY. ONLY ONE BODY FOUND, THAT OF MISS LEN. BRITZ—THE INQUEST YESTERDAY. No more mourniul occurrence has happened during the presen’. bathing seasoa than that | which took place near the Seaside Hotel, Rock- away beach, on last Monday evening, by which three persons lost their lives, Visitors to Rockaway that day were numbered by thousands, The steamers William Cook, Oceanus, Americus and Neversink twok full loads of people. who were ‘out for a day’s pleas- ure and bathing on the ‘Sea-girt shore.’ Along the béach, in front of the different hotels, the batuing places were so unusually crowded that people had to wait long for their turn to take adip, About five o’clock in the afternoon Jonn Gossmer, of No. 102 First street, New York; Wil iam Gvodnill, of No. 44 Grand street, Wilhams- burg, and Miss Lena Reitz, of No. 275 Mulberry street, New York, with some other friends, having after a little aelay procured their shriek rent the air, and a lady friend of Miss Jobn, save Lena!” This agonizing scream spreaa consternation among the bathers, who, almost paralyzed with fear, all began to make for the shore, not knowing what eise to do. As If by instinct, the bathers cast their eyes seaward ana beheid there a ‘emule form SIRUGGLING HARD WITH THE WAVES. It was Lena Rettz. One hand was raised out of the water over her head, and her piercing appeal, “Saye me! Save me!’? was heard above the noise of the breakers that thuudered along the beach, Several brave men faced toward the spot where the girl was yet struggling against the cruel waves for her youug Itic. Joun Goss- mer, ahead of the otuers, made toward her with strong strokes, and for a moment it seemed that she might yet be rescued, When the swimmer had got within three or jour yards of the girlshe sunk beneach the suriace and was lost to sight, Gossmer swum Jor a few minutes adout ‘he place where she had disappeared and then turned toward the shore. Other men, who were aiso zolng out to the rescue, seeing that ail hope was abandoned, returned. Gossmer, whe must have been exhausted from bis efforts, now cried tora rope. This was the first sign given of bis being in any difficulty. No rope c ment, ana William Goodn: aliantiy went to the assistance of the exhausted swimmer, Munuareds | with mteuse anxiety, AS soon as tney | touched each other it seemed as ti a desperare | struggle jor life cominenced between them. One moment they were wn the waiter, another under it: at one instant both heads were seen above the breakers, and at another arms and legs were dis- cerned in violent motion, until some huge billow crest, It was now perceived that the two vrave men who had tried so hard to save buman life were themselves abuut to meet A WATERY GRAVE. Willtam Lioyd crossed the *ife limes’? and swam. toward the drowning man, He had not got well and Goodniil went down together. their sad fate must have made a strong impression | On Lioyd’s mind, for he immediately (through Jear, itis conjectured,) cried ont tor a rope, anu sunk himself, With the help of a rope im the bands of | ao expert swimmer, Lloyd was reached, ciuicned | by the hair of the head and dravgev asvore in an unconscious condition; but his life was saved. The sad event took place a little betore six ociock, and about hall an hour afterward the corpse of Miss Rel'z was given up by the angry sea ana sanded about 300 yards west of tne place where she was drowned. she was picked up on the peach at a point about 200 yards east of Fatiing’s Hotel by & man named Scheltner. In tnis house her rested om Monday night, apd were brought | to New York yesterday by the two o'clock P. M. train. Up fo a late hour last night neither o: the other two bodies had been found. Upon inquiry | i was a@scertaied that no boats had been brought to search for the bodies. It is stated that men are on the lookout along shore to see if the tide should cast them up. THE INQUEST. Yesterday forenoon a Voroner’s inquest was held at the Seaside House for the purpose of investi- pacing. the circumstances connecte! with this mentavie Misfortune. Coroner Hicks, of Heap- stead, conducted the proceedings, anu Mr. George W. Harmer was foreman of the jury. The jury rendered & verdict to the effect that the three had come to their deaths BY ACCIDENTAL DROWNING, from going tvo far outside thu “life lines,” after being irequently warned not to do so, An interview wish Mr. Wainwright, keeper of the Seaside House, reveals the fact that he is par. ticularly anxions the public snouid understand that at his bathing place every possidie precau- tion has been taken against accident.

All these ropes, taken together, are called “LIFE LINES.”? Within these, Mr. Wainwright insists, it is per- lectly safe to bathe, He states that the unfor- tonute people who met their death on Monday were repeatedly warned not to go outside of ihe “He lines,’’ but that they, being full of iue, run and [rolic, paid no heed to his advice.

Such a thing would | haraly have happened to an experienced crew, jor tuey would have been provided with long slats of wood of about the thickness of a sringic and five or six inches wide, to fasten horizontally on the top ot their washboards, and, so by flaring outwards, Keep the Waves frum breaking over Into tue boat, STILL THRY COME. While looking ut Darimouth other crews heave in sight and svon you see them aarting about in | | every direction, Here comes a team slipping | along at 4 good pace, evidently attending +0 U ir | work and passing rapidiy down the course. These have the most onerous task Of all, to hold the coveted prize which their predecessors of last year won, THE FAMOUS MEN OF COLUMBIA. Evidentiy they have been here for sume time, as their suirts, once Weite, have lately seen no Washtud, but in this they are Dot particular, and somehow tho grime of honest iabor instils a con- fidence which does not make you dislike the soiled shirt.
