SCHOONER HALE. - This schooner, which went ashore at Southport, has, we learn from the Telegraph, been gotten off. Her cargo - 11,500 bushels of wheat - is of course a total loss. The hull of the vessel is comparatively uninjured; and had it not been for the breaking of the hatches and deck by the timbers of the pier, it is thought her cargo would not have been injured. - Chicago Dem., 12th inst.

The schooner SAMUEL HALE, wrecked at Southport on Saturday last was got off the beach on Tuesday evening and brought in here Wednesday morning by the Agent of the Underwriters, Capt. Dorr. She discharged 3,000 bushels wet wheat at Southport, and landed at the pier and sold at 10 cents per bushel on Insurance account. She threw overboard about 5,000 bushels to get off and brought 4,000 to this place and sold yesterday at auction at 20 and a half cents per bushel. The vessel is being repaired, and in the course of 10 days will be ready for business. - Chicago Journal
