rugs, flour, fish, hams, lard, linseed oil, onions, potatoes, pork in barrels, soap, &c. The Herald says: There are two California steamers that are much over due — namely, the America and the Champion. The America sailed from this port on the 11th of December in company with the Ocean Queen, and arrived at Aspinwall on the 2td. When the Ocean Queen left Aspinwall on the 24th, the America was still there; but since then we have not heard of her. The Ocean Queen arrived here on the 3d of January and sailed at her usual time on the 12th. Had the America stated at her usual time she would have been over due more than atweekedce. The Champion it now over due about five days, and there is yet no news of her safety. We have already called our read attention to the fact that both these vessels have been in great danger of capture and we do not yet know but that the notorious Semmes may have caught up these two missing steamers. It is not impossible that the America may not have le

atches were in the bag thus sunk; but, to our amazement, we afterwards found out that Captain Harris had abstracted from the bag a tin case containing some dispatches, which he delivered to the Captain of the Quaker City. Captain Harris manœnvered the yacht from the beginning in such a manner as to insure her capture. After the capture Captain Harris was separated from us and was sent North, as we supposed, with his reward Captain Harris had not the power to take the entire bag, or no-doubt he would have done so. Major Saunders had not the slightest suspicion of his fidelity; hence his ability to abstract a part of the dispatches, which, besides, he must have done while we were all asleep, on the night of the 3d of January. Except for the foul play of Captain Harris in the manœuvering of the yacht, there is scarcely a doubt but that we would have successfully run the blockade. William Renshaw, Mate of the Mercury.

ary last. About the first of the year Mr. Parr advertised for a substitute for the war, and was soon after approached by the prisoner, who introduced to him William McKinncy, a very proper man, as W. said, and one that would perform his obligations with marked promptness. Whalan said McKinncy had a wife and two children, and Parr thereupon agreed to pay him $500 as soon as he was mustered into service, and $500 to his wife as soon as McK. was in the field. McKinney was accepted on the 3d of January and mustered into service, and on the 8th of that month, five days after, Whalan took his own wife to Parr, represented her as Mary McKinney, the wife of the substitute, and demanded and received for her $500, the balance of the money. Mr. Parr has since learned that McKinney had no wife, and that he had deserted. Mrs. Whalan admitted the receipt of the $500, but says she was then entitled to it as McKinney's wife. A few days after she received it, McK. came to her house and took

to have been stolen, was examined; and the charge not being sustained by the evidence he was discharged. Augustus Rupert, indicted by the grand jury for larceny, was bailed in the sum of $300 to undergo an examination before this Court in February next. Mary J. Stuitz, indicted for receiving sundry goods, knowing them to be stolen, was on upon trial and plead "not guilty." The jury, after hearing the evidence, retired, and in a short time returned with a verdict in accordance with the pleading of the prisoner. The examination of Thomas Collter and Michael Walsh, al as Geo. W. Nelson, on the Charge of stealing clothing from John S. Wimsatt, on the 3d January last, was, for good reasons, postponed till the February term of the court, and the prisoners were remanded to jail. Travis Flanurgan, charged with exhibiting faro, will undergo an examination at the February term of the Court. After the transaction of some other unimportant business, the Court adjourned.
The Daily Dispatch: January 20, 1864., [Electronic resource], The wreck of the steamer Vestafull particulars. (search)
The wreck of the steamer Vestafull particulars. The following account of the wreck and destruction of the blockade runner Vesta is taken from a letter written by our quondam correspondent "Bohemian," who was a passenger on board upon his return from abroad: Sunday, (Jan. 3d,) was wearing rapidly away as we lay off the town of St. Georges, steam was up, and everything in readiness for departure when the order should be given. It was a little after 4 o'clock before the anchor was weighed, but in a short time thereafter we passed along the town, winding among the little islands, down by the scowling black-mouthed guns of the fortress, straight through the narrow pass which opened out into the broad Atlantic. On we went over the heaving waves, farther and farther from the fast receding shores; dusky night-shadows gathered over the sea, deepening every moment, until the land grew dim and indistinct, and the "still vexed Bermoothes" was hidden from our view.
