VOL xxxv n -NO. v KXOXYILLE. TKXN.: WEDNESDAY. JUNE 10. 1S75. WHOLE NO. 1884 AMONG THE ICEBERGS. Graphic Account of the Wrecked Vicksburg. New YoKK. June 10. Cpt. Cooper of the steamer Siale of Georgia, which ar rived here this morning, makes Ihe fallow, ins statement : On June 5th, in latitude 40 08' weft, had light liroeios from northwest and hazy weather. Thero were numerous icebergs, and I urge quantities of Hoe ice in sight at 11.30 A. M.; discovered a ship's boat villi sails ret an the port bow. I made immediately for her and she proved to be boat No. I, of tho steamer Vicksbuig of Liverpool, belonging to the Dominion line, and commanded by Capt. Bonnet There were live men in her and in a very exhaust d state, thoir feet and legs very much swollen, so much so that their boots hail to bo cut from their feet. 1 at once took them with their boat on beard, and put the men Into the hospital unicr the surgeon's charge. They aro still suffering from their great exposure to wet and cold, but are recover ing as fast as could be expected. Their names are James Crawley, of London, boatswain's mste, nged 2a years, Thomas O'Brien, of Liverpool, eman, aged 35, Patrick Cirayon, John Williams and James Wilkinson. Crawley makes the following statement : Wo left Quebec on Muy 27th, with a ship's crew of sixty men, all told, and ' eight saloon passengers five gentlemen and three ladies and about twenty in the ste rage, of whom four wpro females. The weather was fine until S) o'clock Sunday evening. May 30th, when wo fell in with a field of ice, and was soon surrounded by it. The ship was stopped till daylight, when we proceeded again with but little ice in fight. At tl:30 o'clock l a., Monday all hands wero called to shorten sail, and the ship was stopped amongst heavy ice, and headed to theouth, when we proceeded at full speed to get clear of Die ice. At 12:30, n litilf speed, we struck the ice. The en gine? wero immediately reversed, and the ship struck heavily- Hit on port quarter, carrying away the fans of the propeller, and 'the hull was knocked through, which admitted a great deal of water. A sail was got over and stopped the hole up jo that hut little water came in. All tho bunds were em loyed in heaving the cargo over board. The Second Officer and myself were taken from tho cargo to clear away the boats. This was about 6 o'clock a. m. Tuesday, Juue 1st. Tho Captain ordered the for ward wells to be sounded, and six inches of water was found. The aft steerage then being full of water, tho main hold wells were then sounded and 5 feet and a half of water found. The Captain called me on the bridge and told, me not 10 mind tho boats, and then called everybody aft and told them to have do fearx,as he could take the ship to St. John's, N. K. It wasthen discovered that the fires in the engine room were drowned out. The Captain then gave orders to launch the boats with their re spective crews, and told them to mind that the distance from St. John's was 120 miles N. W. I proceeded to launch No. 1, which wbs my boat and it was oapsiicd, losing tho chronometor, watch, charts, rudder and part of the provisions Sho was full of ' water. O'Brien and I bailed her partly out, . when Fagan, Wilkinson and Williams jumped in. We could not hang on tho ship owing to Ike high sea and ice about. O'Brien caw the Captain on the bridge beckoning the boat back. Wn having drif ted about 150 yards from the ship. We saw the seoond officer's boat lowered, all clear with 9 hands and hinuelf in her. She come round the bow and pulled windward about 60 yards. The ship sunk about 10 o'clock, floating boat No. 2 from her posi lion with the chief olllcer and about 80 people on ker. Sho got clear and pulled to windward. O'Brien, after tho ship went down, saw the Captain anil omoili r person floating on a bale of hay MinMigst -nine wreckage. We tried all we could V pie them up, but owing to the boat being hall lull of water, and tho ice that was about, we were not able to do so. We shipped our must and kepi, company with the other boat' about twn hours, and then lost sight of them to thn westward. We decided then to steer clcar of tho ico. We hove the boat w ith an oar and a bucket which we used as 11 drag until daylight. On Wednesday morning wo had in the boat about 8 gallons water, 40 pounds of raw beef, 14 pounds of bread (wet with salt water), and a compas, which did not tall out when the boat cnpsnecJ. Again we put sail on the boat, and steered south tho wind blowing from tho northward and westward all throughout the day ; it was bitterly cold about 4 v. M. At about 4 oclock r. . wo hauled the boat's bead to the northeast till Thursday morning, then tacked to the westward till about 8 P. M.,and again laid to with a drug till 0 o'clock in the evening, when we took in the drag and made sail, and stood to the northeast till Friday morning at daylight ; then tacked to southwest till Monday ; tacked again to the northeast till Saturday morning, when, about half-past 10 o'clock, we lighted the State of Georgia, and we pulled away, dead to windward, till she picked us up. I think that forty-odd poo pie, with the captain, went down with the ship. We bad blankets in our boat for the three ladies and stewardess which were loot when the boat capsized. We saw no ladies in the chiefs, or the second officer's, boat. Atlanta, Oa., June 10.

(Jive I he old man u chance. Lawyer Heach also came to court this morning in nil improved condi tion, hut soon departed to conduct an other cose In another court. Tllton wus thu again left in solitude without Ihe presence of any member of hi counsel, excepting poor Morris. In the absence ot his own legal advisers Tllton consulted frequently, deeply and complacently Willi needier s law vers. All the alternoon there were four men sitting close together in straight line. Atone end of the brief line was Iteecher ; at the other Tllton, while between them sat Tracy and Hill, two of Beecher's lawyers. Heecher would talk to Tracy and Til- ton to Hill, as all four smiled in con sentaneous wrinkle. Mr. Evarts resumed hisspeech when he entered court this morning as though there had not been a moment's interruption to its continuous flow. He assured us that he did not propose to treat all the random interviews nud dialogues of scandal history, for what occurred after the last week of Decem ber, already reviewed, was of but slight importance. Whatever judg ment may be lormeu ou ihe luterview of December o0 must decide this case, Hut he proceeded to riddle and ridi cule Tiltou' account of the luterview of January 3, when Heecher raved about flight, self-murder, and resigna tion, declaring his edultery to be love, not lut. The speaker next took up tbe inter view about the spurious child. Til ton's account of it was absurd and shocking, Inconceivable and impossi ble, wiieu tne vile interview was over, Tllton asked Heecher to resume his Intimate relation aud friendly visits, and they saluted each other with the kiss of reconciliation. "Ac tions speak louder thau words." The speaker next reached THE MAY INTERVIEW, And took occasion to say that Heecher had neeer denied the accusation of adultery to Tiltou or Motiltou, because neither of them ever made any such accusation. Tiltou and Heecher often met ou terms of social friendship, and held business interviews after the pe riod of the alleged rumpus about adul tery. e now heard of liltou s at tempts to get needier to join him In starling a newspaper, which oflered another Illustration that Tiltou, all through his trouble, was forever trying to use Heecher. The speaker next adverted to the original publicity given to the scandal by Mr. Wood nun, and to theeusulug relations of Tiltou with her. We were shown from Tiltou's evidence that be himself was tbe original fountain of the scandal, which flowed into the Woodhull, and we bad an explanation of Tilton's operations and hi disgrace ful obi eels. In the afternoon Evarts admitted that Heecher did WANT TO PREVENT THE SCANDAL, His conduct In this respect was the strongest proof of his innocence; but It was Tillon and Moulton who ma neuvered with Mrs. Woodhull for their own purposes. Tilton sympa thized with her principles, was fasci nated w ith her charms, aud cultivated bis a lied lou under glass. Hut this whole subject is only legitimate here as contradicting Tilton'a testimony about his purpose iu Joining Wood bull. Heecher had uotlilng to do with the '' policy of silence,1' which was a mere dodge of Tiltou's, and which the speaker discussed io Its details. He elucidated the Bessie Turner iucideuts. as related to suppression, aud several other incidents from the same point of view. Tilton himself suppressed the trouble always by stirring it up. Heecher never thought it necessary to contradict the wild aud extravagant rant of Mrs. Woodhull, He went oytr Moulton 's self-confessed lies for Beech- er Well, a man who will lie for Heech er will lie for himself. Tllton' wit nesses have been liars, who swore they were Ham, and all their circumstantial videiice con firms their confessions of falsehood. He now ran over the nar rative of Tracy, wlilch excluded the adulterous accusations, and the analy sis of it occupied our time till adjourn ment. iSereial Telcfrsm to tho Cincinnati Commercial.! IIrooklyn. June 8. Mr. Evarts lias concluded his defense of Heecher, after occupying two more days with it than was required for the creation or the world. Helm ended his speech on this Ihe one hundred nnd second dv of the trial. The shades of eveninir were falling upon the Court, and the solemnity of a great occasion had tak en possession of the listeners, when he got Ihrough. He hud promised to fin ish In the course of the day, but at the regular nciu or adjournment he was yet in the full lide of argument. Atxuit that time someof THE Jl'ROHS AI'l-KALKI) TO THE t'Ol'RT Aitainat being kept longer. ( Ine made a show of had temper, another deflat ed hia inability to pay further atten tion, and nearly Ml the rest seemed bent upon relief. Hut the Judue addressed them with severity, told them they must remain till the argu ment closed, and gave them a brief re cess to get the air. Mr. Morris, the only member of Tiltou's couusel pres ent, declared It would be a wroug to Mr. Heach to permit Mr. Evarts to go on another clay, and. as Sir. Evarts asseverated hi readiness to pro ceed, we took our breathing snell in preparation for the third session of the day at which Evarts spoke two hours ami a nuir, limning six Hours nnd a halt for the day. Heach himself had been so determined to have Evarts close up to-day that he issued his ul timatum this morning In these words : "hiuiHh or fight." During the last hour or two, Evarts spoke very im pressively, though he never rose to passion and resorted but very slightly to pathos. He has used no manuscript whatever during any part of lilseiiilit- d:iy speech. A lew annotated page have appeared ou the table be fore him, but I have never once seen him look at a single of these notes. Mr. Evarts was in hi usual condi tion this morning. Hi voice never give out and lit mental and bodily tiimlilenes abatts not. In opening It K A R1 V Ell 'I'll AT TRACY'S TESTI 310 NY, Not a fact of which had been contra dicted, wus in itself all-sulllcient to disprove the accusation of adultery. He examined all the evidence bearing upon Tracy, and found Tracy could in no way be invalidated. Tilton him self bote hi adulterous troubles in a ijueer spirit, having slept for year un uislurlied iiy the side of bis wife, and constantly tried to secure Beecher's friendship aud co-operation, or to make use of hi magnanimity aud gener osity. After listening to some ideas on these points we enjoyed, as a side issue, a lengthened defense of the personal and leral action of Tracy in the scan dal. We now go to the Tiltou-Moul-ton maneuvering to force money out of Boweo through the scandal. Beech er's ruuged-edge letter was 1 lie ripple that swelled into the stream that dis located the bowlder of ST.OtKI and carried it down to Tiltou's establish ment. Now we look at Moulton's relation to money', and are sWwu how sharp a game ie played ou poor Tilton, aud are amused by some satire on the operations upon Heecher with the view or screwing out money, as described. The speaker next read the rugged-edge letter, which was unwise aud overwrought, but the outburst of a wounded nature. The speaker read and interpreted other letters of Heech er, including the bottom-facts letter. We now reach that period of the scan dal when Heecher refused to be further victimized, and when Mrs. Moulton makes her appearance. The situation at that time was fully described. " I will now," cried Evarts, "close forever this scandal against Mr. Heech er." Upon which Evarts read Mrs. Tilton's poetlo denial of her husband's charge, and Beecher's soiemn denial to the same ell'eet. He made au argu m e n t rega rd 1 n g M th. T i 1 to n 1 s e x elusion from the witness stand, aud Incident ally referred to Tilton as a man who kept giving his wife a kiss and a slab. Now at lat, when it had reached 6 o'clock, came THE PERORATION Which, like all the rt'Bl of the speech, kept u iu the dry realm of reason and made but little use of our passions, emotions or sentiments. He asked for such a verdict a would be a ver dict of safety aud honor for the two families implicated, which would not degrade Mrs. Tiltou or break the heart of Beecher's venerable wife sensa tion, or support the foul charge against the houorand moral life of this great man. He panegyrised Heecher and fulminated wrath upon Tilton as the assailant of Sinai aud Calvary. It was bard to restrain the admiration of hearers In the closing passages of the speech. At the end there was a vehement aud uncontrollable HVRST OF Al'I'LAl'SK. Public, attention is more closely riv eted ou this Court as the closing scenes in the great legal and moral drama are being enacted, aud there is a deep er solemnity of anxiety as to the ver dict whether Heecher is au adulterer and perjurer, or Tllton a perjurer and conspirator. ISpecial Teltursni to th Commercial. ' Brooklyk, June 8. It is Beach's turn, aud now the TUlouiau thunders crash aud roll through the court. Beach has opened his summing up for the plaiutltl'iu a lively style, though yet Buttering from neuralgia. He has exemplified his way of using material, Ills method of argument and his rhet orical passion, but, thus far, be has neither ludulged iu anything that can be called invectives uor applied any coutunivlous epithets to the defend ant. Beach undoubtedly sulTered un der a disadvantage, because of the fact that such exaggerated exjectations f his oratorical achievements have been indulged as no mortal lawyer could re alize. We have looked for something unprecedented in hum an eloquence. All during the trial the Tiltonltes have said, "Oh, wall till you hear Beach." When Porter was rolling out invec tives : "Wait for Beach.'" When Evarts was indulging his reason and satire: "Wait for Beach.'1 Aiid so from the first we have been waiting for the display which had its com mencement this morning. If Beach had I'L'Lt.KIl BLAZING RIIlliONS FROM HIS MOL'TH. To the sound of vocal artillery all day, we might have been satisfied, but nothing else but this could have reached the extravagance of our ex pectations. As Evart spent the first day of his summing up iu ekirrnish ing around the outposts, so Beach ha spent to-day in a similar work. His speech, in fact, wan mainly defensive, taken up In destroying a mass of minor points that were turned against Til-' ton by Evarts and Porter. He gave us a lew Hiipassioned passage which neither in language nor delivery could he compared with anything on the other side. Like a torrent they thun dered on our ears and swept ihrough our minds. Two such passage thin afternoon, one referring to the disas trous results of Beecher's guilt, and the other to Tiltou's deathless revenge, were superb in tiieir way. At such moments Beach's large-featured, high colored, fierce-eyed, chin-bearded face became the expression of such human wrath as it rarely presented to the criti cal observer, and iiis voice attained a power which added volume to his en ergy. Beach has for many years been accounted among the chief, if not the chief, of New York advocates. To a dominating voice, an impressive pres ence and a captivating maimer, lie has added nearly all the powers aud graces that spring from severe train ing aud long practice. MORE RKMARKAJILE I OH COURAOK THAN TACT, He awakens admiration for audacity, leaving no room for the skepticism which follows, like a shadow, in the footBteps of caution. HI leading char acteristics are common sense and main force, but he sutlers through his defi ciency of imaginative power and lit erary culture, and his inability to commnud a rich vocabulary.- No two advocates could be more unlike than Evarts aud Beach. Ihe one is exact, analytical aud philosophical ; iheoth er given to sweeping generalization, making all points iu deductive styler and master of all the common passions and emotions of men. Evarts I a strategist; Beach a soldier, who be lieves in storming columns and bayo net charges. When Beach and Fullerton entered Court.'this morning, someof the spec tators violated the rules by saluting them with applause. Tiltou, who was now to have his time after enduring, such exhaustive flagellation, looked happy. Heecher, accompanied by his wife and Mrs. fcjtowe, soon joined the other members of his family, who had come earlier. He had ridden to Court in. the vehicle which carried, int, and be'fore entering I asked him, iii view the day's prospects, if he had put ou his armor, to which be humorously re plied : " No other than the armor of righteousness." He stayed in Court through the first session, but did' not return iu tbe afternoon, thoagh the other members of his family were with us all day. Lawyer Beach, in fine form aud with impressive manner, MADE A If' U Lit, SQ.UAUE W4NKINO- In these words : "At last Theodore Tillon has an opp Knotty for vindica tion in a court of ,i,w." ilewentou to speak of the lim j tempest of calum ny which had followed him even here. This is the trial of one wio has been died the greattsi man on eaath, and no greatest preacher in ail the world, . o.i-e destiny i here fixed. He spoke ii the style of his opponents, their treatment of witnesses, aud their at tempts to ruin people. He spoke of the tremendous iulbieaces, social aud pecuniary, brought to bear on the jury, to the fact that the other side bad ac tually foretold the veidict, aud to tbe ominous shapes that hovered around the court. He spokv with severity to the foreman of the jury about hi al leged predictions, and it seemed aa though he thus expected to bring aiiout a disagreement. He himself had no calumnies lo utter or threats to ap ply, but proposed to demonstrate the case by the evidence. Never ia the history of American justice has there been such au exhibition us we- have had here during the last thirteen daye; such storms of ridicule, such lofty or atory, such skill and adroitness, such devilish ingenuity, such marvelous, struggles by the very men who say there I not a particle of evidence against Heecher. He exalted Tilton'a mind and manhood ; repelled the vicious charges against him, glorified Moulton, aud prono-ueed Heecher a gifted man with noble qualities. Only imperious necessity led him to expose this oll'eiise. Beecher himself had at tempted to maintain the policy of silence. He now proposed to examine tbe material ofTered by the other side, but first pushed aside the claim that Beecher enjoyed a legal presumption of innocence, or eould secure the ben efit of a doubt. He apologized for Til ton's publication of his wife's letters, argued that they had not been garbled, showed up the folly of tbe complaint that the adulterous localities had not been enumerated, and pointed out sun dry errors of the defense. Admit everything against Tilton, does it uul lify Beecher's adultery',' It Is said (hat Beecher has many friends and Tilton few but THE JUDOMENT 0' THE 1RES3, Which Is the highest Intellect of the country, Is favorable to Tilton, aud the clergy are against Beecher, who l upheld by Plymouthites and parasites.
