Loss of the Scotia.

--The loss of the steamer Scotia, (the Fannie and Jennie,) off the North Carolina coast, has been noticed. She was chased by the blockader Georgia and run on the beach on Wrightsville Sound. The boats of the blockader then made for her, and the crew of the Scotia started to take to her boats. While one of these, containing the Captain, Purser, and others was being lowered, the davit broke, spilling them all into the sen. Some of these were rescued, in a sinking and exhausted condition by the second and third mates in the other starboard boat, while others got ashore by clinging to trunks and other articles thrown overboard from the steamer Wm. F. Jones, chief engineer, Wm. Morrel, his 1st assistant, and E. J. Black quartermaster, were drowned. The following of the crew are missing: G H. Tailour, Geo. Davis, H. Thompson, John Steward, Wm. Burke, Grieson, Purcell, Duffy, Buchanan, Collins, Hughes, Hall, Clos, Shearn, Kempton, Lynch, Greaser, Barlow, Holtidge, Smith, and Wallace. Chas. Lightfoot, the contused cabin boy, was drowned.
