We find the following particulars in Friday’s Marysville Appeal concorning the Rute robbery: The San Juan and Marysville stage; en “route for this city yesterday,.and driven by Mike Hogan, was stopped yesterday morning at 10.30 about .four miles above Smartsville, and on the ‘road between Fosney's hill and Atwood’s ‘new hotse, and robbed of: Wells’ Fargo & Co’s express box, which is supposed to’ have contained only @ small amount of treasure. Mr. Hogan. informs: us-that he was half an hourahead of timé; and his team had just got inte a walk froma slow trot, when a masked man jumped up from pehinda bush on the lower side of the road, and presenting a-rifle at his head, said: ‘Stop and hold up your hands, Robert Winans, who occupied a seat on the box obeyed:the summons, and the robber repeated his command with more emphasis; ‘‘holdup your hands‘or I'll blow your brains out.’” Hogan then threw down his reins and whip and held up his hands. The robber then said ‘‘hand out that box,and be quick about it.” . Hogan out, as there was a valise in the way, and the robber said, ‘‘hurry up.’’ Hogan then threw the box . out, and asked, ‘twill I drive on?” “Yes,’’ replied the robber. Hogan said the robber spoke in a tremulous voice, and gave orders, with some intervening, as if a little short of courage. As he drove off he kept his eyes upon the robber with a view of recognition. This the robber did not like, and he said, “‘drive on or I'll blow your brains out,” keeping his rifle leyeled upon him. After progeeding some distance and being out of sight of the rebber, Mr. Winans, who was armed with a revolver, took a route ucross lots to the scéne ofthe robbery to watch operations. He reports he was observed and told to step. At that timé there were two roblers in possession of the treasure box. The, robbers broke up the box with an ux, and soon departed with all the eontents bat one peper, The box was soon after picked up and taken to Tissbuctoo, The following passengers were aboard the stage: Robert Winans, Henry Winans, James Smith, Miss Wetzler, and a Chinaman, The robber stopping the stage was a heavy man, about five feet nine inches in height, dark complexion, dark hair, square fuee, blue eyes, and wore a checked shirt anda pair of tongued boots. Wells, Fargo & Cv., offer a reward of $290, and one-fourth the treasure for the arrest and conviction of the robber er robbers. Mr. Hogan says he could identify the robber without the least doubt. A.

The “Pacific,” it is generally eonceded now, was. a rotten old ‘holk-that would be unsafe on an inland river. fragments of the Pacifio’s timbers have come ashore. at Beacon ~ Hill, found fo be affected with dry rot te such an extent that they fell to pieces upon being handled. In one instance a timber had been found with a piece ef. sound wood bolted to a piece of rotten wood, and the ‘bolt itself quite eaten away with rust. On this evidence and that received before the Coroner-at Victoria, the Portland and Oregonian gees no grounds for disputing that the Pacific was a rotten old hulk, .The collision could not have caused any she not been rotten. The Orpheus, which received the blow on her side; suffered but trifling daniage, while the steamer, striking withyher bow, and so far_as can be ascertained, with engines reversed, went to pieces. In view of these facts, the goverame-t officer who gave the Pacilic a certifi‘cate as & sound vessel, and who has the audacity to constitute himself a Commissioner of Inquiry into the cause of the accident, deserves the severest punishment known to the law, and the investigation should, be folowed immediately by vigorous prosecution of the guilty officer. The pressing necessity for some. means to be devised for the prevention of the murder of the people by sending them out to sea in rotten boats to be swamped inthe first gale, or sunk by any slight concussion, is manifest on every hand We are glad'to hear’ a rumor that whicb will prevent the continuance of sending such vessels to sea from San Francisco, _ Hawp-Can Samine.—L.

We confess that we were not neat eqnal to the occasion.

Then a person can walk a hundred miles, in the machinery hall, without going over the same spot twice. In the main building, he could walk a hundred and fifty miles.

We find the following particulars in Friday’s Marysville Appeal concorning the Rute robbery: The San Juan and Marysville stage; en “route for this city yesterday,.and driven by Mike Hogan, was stopped yesterday morning at 10.30 about .four miles above Smartsville, and on the ‘road between Fosney's hill and Atwood’s ‘new hotse, and robbed of: Wells’ Fargo & Co’s express box, which is supposed to’ have contained only @ small amount of treasure. Mr. Hogan. informs: us-that he was half an hourahead of timé; and his team had just got inte a walk froma slow trot, when a masked man jumped up from pehinda bush on the lower side of the road, and presenting a-rifle at his head, said: ‘Stop and hold up your hands, Robert Winans, who occupied a seat on the box obeyed:the summons, and the robber repeated his command with more emphasis; ‘‘holdup your hands‘or I'll blow your brains out.’” Hogan then threw down his reins and whip and held up his hands. The robber then said ‘‘hand out that box,and be quick about it.” . Hogan out, as there was a valise in the way, and the robber said, ‘‘hurry up.’’ Hogan then threw the box . out, and asked, ‘twill I drive on?” “Yes,’’ replied the robber. Hogan said the robber spoke in a tremulous voice, and gave orders, with some intervening, as if a little short of courage. As he drove off he kept his eyes upon the robber with a view of recognition. This the robber did not like, and he said, “‘drive on or I'll blow your brains out,” keeping his rifle leyeled upon him. After progeeding some distance and being out of sight of the rebber, Mr. Winans, who was armed with a revolver, took a route ucross lots to the scéne ofthe robbery to watch operations. He reports he was observed and told to step. At that timé there were two roblers in possession of the treasure box. The, robbers broke up the box with an ux, and soon departed with all the eontents bat one peper, The box was soon after picked up and taken to Tissbuctoo, The following passengers were aboard the stage: Robert Winans, Henry Winans, James Smith, Miss Wetzler, and a Chinaman, The robber stopping the stage was a heavy man, about five feet nine inches in height, dark complexion, dark hair, square fuee, blue eyes, and wore a checked shirt anda pair of tongued boots. Wells, Fargo & Cv., offer a reward of $290, and one-fourth the treasure for the arrest and conviction of the robber er robbers. Mr. Hogan says he could identify the robber without the least doubt. A.

The “Pacific,” it is generally eonceded now, was. a rotten old ‘holk-that would be unsafe on an inland river. fragments of the Pacifio’s timbers have come ashore. at Beacon ~ Hill, found fo be affected with dry rot te such an extent that they fell to pieces upon being handled. In one instance a timber had been found with a piece ef. sound wood bolted to a piece of rotten wood, and the ‘bolt itself quite eaten away with rust. On this evidence and that received before the Coroner-at Victoria, the Portland and Oregonian gees no grounds for disputing that the Pacific was a rotten old hulk, .The collision could not have caused any she not been rotten. The Orpheus, which received the blow on her side;

suffered but trifling daniage, while the steamer, striking withyher bow, and so far_as can be ascertained, with engines reversed, went to pieces. In view of these facts, the goverame-t officer who gave the Pacilic a certifi‘cate as & sound vessel, and who has the audacity to constitute himself a Commissioner of Inquiry into the cause of the accident, deserves the severest punishment known to the law, and the investigation should, be folowed immediately by vigorous prosecution of the guilty officer. The pressing necessity for some. means to be devised for the prevention of the murder of the people by sending them out to sea in rotten boats to be swamped inthe first gale, or sunk by any slight concussion, is manifest on every hand We are glad'to hear’ a rumor that whicb will prevent the continuance of sending such vessels to sea from San Francisco, _ Hawp-Can Samine.—L.
