WASHINGTON, May 21.
An altogether reliable dispatch received this morning, dated
Fort Monroe to-day, says the Oriental, in which Brig. Gen. Saxton sailed for
Port Royal, was wrecked on Friday night, May 16th, on Body’s Island, 33 miles
north of Cape Hatteras. The passengers
and crew were saved. A portion of the
cargo was lost. The remainder will be
saved on the beach.
