We have gathered the subjoined nee mm of thi. ? alanii'y from the two ?urv ;v.-r* of th. the officer* of the Borth Carolina and from other reliable *ourc?-e. The brig arrived on Sundiy ev | ? ? after a tl irteen-daya' passage, from Attakopus, La., with au^ur and molaaee* tu C. I'. Levorek. and came to im ar.ciii.r m the F.a**. River, between Fulton Ferry and I*. ?k Slip. The sur\ ivor? state that the OBp tain uf a steam-tug tried to iadat ? Capt. Suuth to go into dock, and warned h: in ut' the danger of lying out in the stream, when it waa so full of ice. Capt. Smith did tot te.ke the advice. The bp.' laid at aach, r Without miahap, until ?.' o'c!.>ck Monday morning when the fiooal tub- brought up large quantities of drift ice, which cut her cable, and she drifted up with the tide nearly abreast of the Navy Yard, t'apt.

She brought up here, and n< thing farther occurred until about 5 or ti o'clock in tl i morning, when suddenly tie- BOB in the fen castle were alarmed by the rush of water in through the bows, and making their way on d-vk they found that sh? was rapidly sinking by the bend. The t aptain I who had remained on deck through the night) In i red on bis un-n to clear the stem boat, which was hanging by the davits.

MeeawhQa Captain Smith rim into th> cabin tad aroused his wit'.- and children, who were aalaef in the;.- berths, and bidding her follow him with the little girl, he caught up bis m.n and ran to the st< ru !x>at. She followed imm. di ately, and be put her and tlie children into the boat, and then got in himself, with the mate, co?>k and two stamen. The ta> kle by which th?- boa' hung was frozen fast, and all of their efforts to cat lcr loose availed nothing.

The addition of those who are "slarehir merely, to the category of slaveowners, must, I thiuk, swell their number much more than it if dimiui.-hed bj the excloaion of " those who are ia "tcreatid conjointly with others in slare proa> "eity." Such iustances of conjoint interest wist OCCBf most frctjueiitly iu the family relation*, already taken iuto the account, wheu we multi? plied the number of slaveholders returned by fire at d seven tenths. A comparison of the returaa from Maryland, the District of Columbia, and Vir? ginia, where s!a\i hiring i* much practised, with Alabama, Mississippi and I.oui-iana, where it la leaa practise*!, show a the following results Maryhuid, Virginia, and the District of Colum? bia, with M8,M3 elaves, return TJ.."-<I elave ew ncrj. Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, with -:C,.*>;il slaves, return 7 3, Ml slave owners. The relative excess of slaveowners re? turned in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia, must be attributed, in part, to the in? clusion of a relatively, larger number of "?l\re birers." I'pun the whole, it mav safoly bet ci?n eladed that at least seven tenths of the white's ia the Slave State*, are not slaveowners, either in their para riatLt, or by family relation. The uum ber of white males in the Slave State?, n*.<'d twenty-one vear* aud upward, iu 1H50, woe \,iW,W2. Considering that the number of '.147,525, re? turned as slaveowners, is subject to some deduc? tions, and considering that of the ilareownora in n \ are female* aud minors, it is probable that not exceeding one fifth of the white male adults of the Slave States own ilaree. The uon-slaveholdiug whites of the South, being not less thuii seven tenths of the w hole number of whites, would seem to be entitled to some in? quiry into their actual condition; and especially, as they have uo real political weight or considera? tion in the country, aud little opportunity to speak tor themselves. I have been for twenty years a reader of Southern newspapers, and a reader and hearer of Congressional debates; but in all that time. I do not recollect ever to have seen or heard these non slaveholdiug w hite* referred to by South? ern gentlemen, as constituting any part of what they call "tht South." W hen the rights of the South, or its wrongs, or its policy, or its interest*, or its institutions are spokcu of, reference ii always in? tended to the rights, wrongs, policy, interests and institutions of the three huudred and forty-seven thouraml Slaveholdt rs. Nobody gets iuto Con? gress from the South but by their direction; no? body speaks at Washington for any Southern inter? nal except theirs. Yet there is, at the South, quite another interest than theirs; embracing from two to three times as many white people; and, as we shall pu-erutly see, eutitled to the deepest sym? pathy and commiseration, in view of the material, intellectual and moral privations to which it baa been subjected, the degradation to which it ha* al raedj been n duced, and the still more fearful degradation with which it is threatened by the In? evitable ope-ration of existing cause* and iuflueuooe. From a paper on "Domestic Manufacturer in '? the South aud West," published by M. Tarver of Missouri in lr 17, I make the following ex? tracts: " The tree f*>i ulstlon of tho Mouth may bo divided lato two rlaasea?th* slayebolder and tli* i i a ,iav?i.ol.i?r.
