                                                                SAVANNAH, Monday, Oct. 15.
    A private letter from Mayport Mills, Fla., says that GOULDSBY, the Second Mate of the Evening Star, had arrived there, having left the steamer with a boat-load of ladies. All but two were lost before getting near shore. In landing the latter were lost; one named ANNIE, from Rhode Island, and the latter ROSA HOWARD, of New-York. Both became insane, from want and starvation. The bodies were washed ashore. That of the latter was nearly devoured by sharks. The mate is barely alive.
