TUE REPULSE AT SABINE PASS.

New York, Sept. 19—The World's New Or- leans letter of the Pith inet. contains impertan’ intelligenee. It states: Last week from 10,000 co 15.000 men were conveyed by the Opeleusas

when they parted, to trust their lives to the deep in that unfortunate steamer.

While Mr. Prager was being tossed abont by the rolling seas, ke discovered a demijon that daneed about him as if in mockery of his peril. His whole desire was te gain possession ot that article. Nearly insensible frou cold and fatigue he finally succeeded in seizing it, and was over- joyed to find it eantaimed part wine, Upon the contents of this demijon, 80 providentially placed ut lis disposal, he sustained lite until oast upon the shore. :

They took hin aboard their beat and carned him te Houghton.

Mr Fiazer states as his opinion that the boat becaine unmanageable, because the “ cheeks!’ or “bustles,” built upon the sides of the hull, to counteract an inclination te be crank, leaked so aad!y trom the straining and beating of the heavy seas, as to fill and leave the vessel “ waterlogged.”

A yawl-boat and car belonging to the Sanbean were picked up by the Cay of Cleareland, ov her way down. ‘This faet proves that the vccupants of one beat, at leasi, are probably lost,

Gen. Franklin,s division in the meanwhile em- barked en transports here and at the camps above, near Carrolton, aud moved down the river toward the Gulf. It was therefore a combined move- tent by three distinct columns and by three routes. The three routes this correspoudent suggests were: Franklin's corps going by trans- ports by way of the Guls, would adeanes to Sabine Pass, the boundary line in the Guif between this State and Texas; Herren’s men going by way of Red River to Simimsport, would march from thence to Opeloussa orte New Lberia; while Washburne’s column erussed Berwiek Bay and made the old mevement via Pattersunville and Frauklin alouy the ‘Teche.

When Franklin's men went down the river and Washburne’s corps moved by the railroad to Brashear and Bayou Boeuf a week ago to-day, the two Federal gan-boats Clitton and Sachem moved dewn Berwick Bay to the Gulf. Frank lin’s transports were accompanied by three gau- boats, the Arizoua, the Quaker City and the 5c. Charles, (Ll think.)

Herrou's columu was taken by steain-boats to the mouth of the Red river to go to Simumsport.
