Burning of the Mississippi Steamer Rainbow. We copy the following particulars of the burn. ing of the Rainbow, from the Leuisville Journal, which occurred near the town of Napoleon, Arkansas : On the morning of the 2Ist Nov., at about half-past two o’clock, while uoder way, some ten miles above Napoleon, and near the head of Island 74, the beat was discovered to be on fire. The officer of the deck, Mr. C. Whitlow, immediately ordered her to be run ashore. The order was promptly executed by Mr. Lamb, the pilot at the wheel; but so rapid was the progress of the flames that by the time the shere was reached they enveloped the entire boat, which presented a mass of fire frem stem to . stern, Those of the passengers and crew who . were on the forward part of the boat escaped without difficulty. Those at the stern were cut off from any means ef escape except by jumping into the water. Although it was but a few yards to the shore, but few of the latter escaped, except these whe had the presence of mind to take life preservers or something to sustain them in the water. No doubt many were burnt in their rooms. Some were overcome with . 1 Ot POLL EE a DEMOCRAT fright and knew not which way to go, and! would not jump into the water. The wheel) house next the shore was filled with men, women and children, The beams burnt off, and the weight of the wheel careened it overboard, carrying with it a great many persons, but few of whom were saved. All the books and papers being destroyed, it is utterly impossible to ascertain accurately the names of the lost and saved; but, after carefully comparing the statements of those that were saved, we cannot make the less less than sixty to seventy-five human beings; all ushered inte eternity without a monment’s warning.— Truly, “ia the midst of life we are in death.” The officers, without exception were saved. Assistanck.—The Sovereign, bound down, . fortunately, was near at mt and succeeded ia picking up several of the passengers floating in the water, upon pieces of wood, etc. She teok on board those of the saved who wished to return South, The Minnchaba soon came along, bound up, and several passengers went off on her, A few hours afterwards the Jas, E, Woodruffcame up and took on board the crew and the remainder of the passengers, with the exception of a few who stayed to look for the remains of their lost friends, Oniain OF THE Fine.—The officers of the boat agree that the fire originated in the cook-house, which being closed, they think the fire was under full headway before bursting out, and then it was so far started, and the wind blowing very fresh, that nothing could be done to arrest its progress, PasseNGERS.—The passengers, with one or two . exceptions, had retired to their rooms. Among . them were several Califernians, with their . treasures of gold and their families, coming back to their homes, but alas! they met with . ferm, instead of that of kindred and friends . from whom they had so long been separated. Treasury anp Jewetry Lostr.—All the passengers lost everything : money, clothes, and . all they had except what was on their persons. A large amount of money in gold, and $20,. 000 in jewelry, were undoubtedly lost. The boat’s safe, with contents, was soon re. deposited their money in the office, were saved . from loss in that particular. InciveNTs.—Wheatleigh, from California, with . hia wife and child, jumped from the steamer . and struck beldly out for the shore, The wife . soon sunk to rise ne more; the child was drown. ed clinging to her father’s neck. He could not reach the shore with bis child, and was com. pelled to let it go. Wheatleigh was assisted by . those on shore, He had $3,500 in gold in the safe, which was recovered. He remainedatthe wreck to recever, if possible, the rewains of his wife and ebild. . Whitlow, the mate, picked up five persons . hanging to a small piece of timber. All were . was apparent. . ly extinct. Moddeck, a traveling agent of a Philadelphia house, lest $20.000 worth of jewelry—saving . nothing but his pantaloons, without either coat . or hat, Every one of those who escaped was but half. clad. Some had coats and no pants, few had . hats or boots; some had no covering but the comforter snatched from their berths, as they left, but their wants were soon supplied by the . crews ef other boats as they came up. Destructive Fires, Louisvitex, Nev. 21. The stores of Gay & Co., liquor dealers, and H. F. Buckner, feed merchant, together with two or three small . stores on Seeond street. were destoyed by fire . this morning. Amount ef the loss, $30,000. Wasninctox, Nov. 21. We learn from Mo. bile that a fire there on Friday night destroyed . the stores of L. Merchant & Co., Charles Brews. ter, and Savage & Co.,on Commerce street, and that three dwellings on Canal street were also simultaneously burnt, Loss $150,000, Rocurster, Nov, 21. A fire broke out early . this morning in the Eagle Bank block occupied . Wreck of the Flying Cloud. Terrible Scenes and Suffering—Her Captain found Frozen in the Riggin—Her Orew lying Dead on the Beach—Only Two Saved. From the one surviving sailor of the ill fated scheoner Flying Cloud, on Lake Michigan, the following thrilling particulars ef her loss are learned. We condense them fram the Chicago papers: “ The Flying Cloud left. Chicago last Wednesday for Cleveland, with a cargo of 10,000 bushels of wheat, She had proceeded down the lake some fifty miles, with a fair wind, amd was near Racine when she enceuntered a vielent gale, accompnanied with snow, her sails split, and small boat swept away, aod she was rendered completely unmanageable. Suddenly the wind changed to the nerthwest, and the vessel was headed for Chicago, The weather was intensely celd, and the sea made clean breaches over the vessel. She was driven at the mercy of the waves back towards the head of the lake during the night of Wednesday. About ten o’cslock on Thursday a blinding suew storm set in, and about two o’cloek in the afternoon, the moat bitter cold day of the season, she struck on the rocks at a place called Grand Calumet, a wild, bleak coast, covered with snow, and ne friendly hands to render assistance, The Captain and crew immediately took to the riggin, where they remained all day, and at night came down and spent the night on the quarter deck, lashed to the spars. In the morning twe of the men were feund pase and the captain scarcely able to articuate. The whole of the crew were already nearly frozen and unable to swim. They consisted of nine persous, mostly belonging te Cleveland, viz: Alexander Sherwood, captain; George Gordon, let mate; Paul Stedd, 2d mate; John Flanders, steward; (shipped im this city from bark Morgan,) and John Small, George Grimby, Watt Bain, Francis Fox, and Henry Colemap, crew. The captain, steward, John Small, and George Grimby were soon so badly frozen that they were unable to move. The captain wanted te jump overboard, but was prevented by the others, as he would have drowned immediately, though he was only to die by the more lingering death of freezing. About nine A. M., the mate George Gordon, jumped overboard and swamashore. On reaching it he preceived two men dragging a boat down the beach te their shanty at the mouth of the river. He was subsequently found within twenty rods of the shanty, having mistaken the path, cold and lifeless. A sailor by the name of Bain followed the mate overboard, but fell within six rods of the vessel, where his body was afterwards found. Both freze to death, and are now on the beach dead. Another seaman, by the name of Franklin Fox, was the next to jump over, and was fortunately met by the men with the boat, who directed him to their ye a mile and a half! from the creek, while they labored to rescue the . others. They succeeded in saving a boy by the name of Henry Coleman, but on taking on another, the boat was swamped and broken to pieces, and the unfortunate man was drowned. . The captain was so chilled that he could not stand, and could not avail himself of the efforts to rescue him, Fox was badly frozen and crippled, was without any clothes, and after being supplied by some shingle makers, went to Miller’s station, on the Michigan Southern Railioad, three miles distant from the wreck, and came to Chicago. The boy Coleman managed to get ashore alive, and remained at the shanty near the wreck, badly frozen. Ou the arrival of Fox at Chieago a subsoription was set on foot, and a handsome sum collected. Mr. J. Barney and William Hea immediately proceeded to the scene of disaster, and found the vessel broken in two, with the captain and two others enveloped in their icy shrouds, in . the position in which death overtuok them, upon her deck; but having no boat they were umable to take off their bodies. The bodies of the mate and Bain were found lying where they fell. Captain Hea and Mr. Barney returned from the wreck to Chicago on Tuesday, with three of the hodies—that of the mate, George Gordon, and Watt Bain and George Grimly, seamen. . Bain and Grimly belong to Cleveland, and Gordon at Port Huron. The bodies were terribly frozen and distorted, showing the intense agony the victims must have suffered ere death released them. The bodies of the captain, cook and boy are still on board, and cau be plainly aeen from the beach. It was impossible te get them off en Tuesday, the sea running mountains high, but they will probably be brought off soon. The Coroner of Lake county, Indiana, held . the inquest on the bodies brought te the city, and they will be buried by subscription of members of the Board of Trade. The bedy of the captain, when reeovered, will be taken to Cleveland. The captain leaves a wife and child, and Geo. Grimly a wife. The rest are unmarried. .

Ives’ Parry.—Fears were entertained at Fort Yuma, of the safety of Lieut, Ives and his party. From a letter received by the late southern mail, from a spennns at Fort Yuma, the 8, F. Herald is permitted to make the following extract: “You will be surprised te learn that T am still at Fert Yuma. We arrived bere om the morning of Dec. 4th, and have been waiting the arrival! of the river steamer with news from the Monterey. She is now fifteen days over due, and we are beginning te feel anxious fer the safety of Lieut. Ives and those who accomanied him, If she is not beard frem ieut, Winder, who is in command at this 4 will send an express down the river to ascertain, if possible, the cause of the delay. Dr. Newberry and party, whe left San Francisco a fortnight before us, also destined for the mouth ef the Colorado, are, like ourselves, waiting the arrival of the steamer. Fara axp Mysrertous Fracas.— At nine o’clock last evening, says the Sierra Democrat of Dec, 26th, a messenger arrived from Onion Flat, with a call for the Sheriff, and soother for Dr. Aiken. The Doctor went up te the Fiat, and found that twe Italians, brothers, had been quarreling, and a third man, also au Italian, in attempting to separate them received a severe stab from a sheath knife. Antonio Sanchez, who was specially deputized for thie occasion, found the two brothers secured in a eabin. They were brought dewn on mules, and ledged in jail, About half an hour afterwards one ef the prisoners died, although during the three hoars in the cabin and a ride of: cight miles, neta word was heard frem him about being wounded. On examination, it was found that he had six wounds, two of which entered the cavity of the chest. The Doctor says the stabs must have been inflicted by himself, after being put in jail. Aw Exrraorpinany Circumstanor.-On Monday last, the wife ef Col. Ayes, accompanied: by her aged mother, arrived here from the States. The mother is about 80 years of age, and was se feeble that she could not ride upon horseback from Shasta to Soda Springs. But it is: said, truly, that ‘necessity is the motherof invention,” so the old boned was put on a litter, and four Chinamen employed to carry it over the Trinity mountains, We are informed that she feels pone the worse for the trip, and we hepe she may live mavy days te enjoy the comparionship of her children, even in the far off land’ of thelr adopted home. She is probably the the oldest person that has ventured so far up among the bleak pillars of the Sierras.— [Siskiyou' Chroniele, Dec. 24th. Periwous Apventure.—-The Placer Courier contains an interesting account of the adventure of two men who crossed the Sterra Nevada’ from Lake Bigler about the first ef December, during the prevalence of a severe storm, and’ of their subsequent trials and sufferines. After wandering about for eight days, during which’ time they subsisted on less than a pound of jackass meat, they reached Duncan Caffen,: badly frezen and completely exhausted. Word! being sent for relief to Last Chance, the neble hearted men of thatcamp turned out twenty’ strong, and brought the sufferers in upon sleds. Sxow on THE Mountatns.—The Shasta Republican says the snew on the Salmon mountains is about ten feet deep. Mr. Ritner was compelled to travel on snow shoes in order to cross these mountains, The trade with the Salmon communities is of course closed for the winter. On Scott mountain there is but little snow. On the north side of Trinity mountalo there ig a little snow, but not suffieient te impede travel, : There is now no snow on the trail from Shasta’ to Yreka by way of the Sacramento route. Miss Onivy OatMan,—An earnest appedl is made, in the San Jose Tribune, in behalf of this young lady. The touching and interesting . story of her captivity and suffering among the Mohave Indiane, and the death of her little sister by starvation, has probably been perused by many of our readers. She is now at San Jose, and is anxious to complete her education, which she has no meansof doing. Miss Oatman is certainly entitled to the aid of the people of California, Masonic Lopges in Cauirorria.—There’ aré at the present time, 113 Masonic Lodges in this State, under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of the State.

Burning of the Mississippi Steamer Rainbow. We copy the following particulars of the burn. ing of the Rainbow, from the Leuisville Journal, which occurred near the town of Napoleon, Arkansas : On the morning of the 2Ist Nov., at about half-past two o’clock, while uoder way, some ten miles above Napoleon, and near the head of Island 74, the beat was discovered to be on fire. The officer of the deck, Mr. C. Whitlow, immediately ordered her to be run ashore. The order was promptly executed by Mr. Lamb, the pilot at the wheel; but so rapid was the progress of the flames that by the time the shere was reached they enveloped the entire boat, which presented a mass of fire frem stem to . stern, Those of the passengers and crew who . were on the forward part of the boat escaped without difficulty. Those at the stern were cut off from any means ef escape except by jumping into the water. Although it was but a few yards to the shore, but few of the latter escaped, except these whe had the presence of mind to take life preservers or something to sustain them in the water. No doubt many were burnt in their rooms. Some were overcome with . 1 Ot POLL EE a DEMOCRAT fright and knew not which way to go, and! would not jump into the water. The wheel) house next the shore was filled with men, women and children, The beams burnt off, and the weight of the wheel careened it overboard, carrying with it a great many persons, but few of whom were saved. All the books and papers being destroyed, it is utterly impossible to ascertain accurately the names of the lost and saved; but, after carefully comparing the statements of those that were saved, we cannot make the less less than sixty to seventy-five human beings; all ushered inte eternity without a monment’s warning.— Truly, “ia the midst of life we are in death.” The officers, without exception were saved. Assistanck.—The Sovereign, bound down, . fortunately, was near at mt and succeeded ia picking up several of the passengers floating in the water, upon pieces of wood, etc. She teok on board those of the saved who wished to return South, The Minnchaba soon came along, bound up, and several passengers went off on her, A few hours afterwards the Jas, E, Woodruffcame up and took on board the crew and the remainder of the passengers, with the exception of a few who stayed to look for the remains of their lost friends, Oniain OF THE Fine.—The officers of the boat agree that the fire originated in the cook-house, which being closed, they think the fire was under full headway before bursting out, and then it was so far started, and the wind blowing very fresh, that nothing could be done to arrest its progress, PasseNGERS.—The passengers, with one or two . exceptions, had retired to their rooms. Among . them were several Califernians, with their . treasures of gold and their families, coming back to their homes, but alas! they met with . ferm, instead of that of kindred and friends . from whom they had so long been separated. Treasury anp Jewetry Lostr.—All the passengers lost everything : money, clothes, and . all they had except what was on their persons. A large amount of money in gold, and $20,. 000 in jewelry, were undoubtedly lost. The boat’s safe, with contents, was soon re. deposited their money in the office, were saved . from loss in that particular. InciveNTs.—Wheatleigh, from California, with . hia wife and child, jumped from the steamer . and struck beldly out for the shore, The wife . soon sunk to rise ne more; the child was drown. ed clinging to her father’s neck. He could not reach the shore with bis child, and was com. pelled to let it go. Wheatleigh was assisted by . those on shore, He had $3,500 in gold in the safe, which was recovered.

A fire broke out early . this morning in the Eagle Bank block occupied . Wreck of the Flying Cloud. Terrible Scenes and Suffering—Her Captain found Frozen in the Riggin—Her Orew lying Dead on the Beach—Only Two Saved. From the one surviving sailor of the ill fated scheoner Flying Cloud, on Lake Michigan, the following thrilling particulars ef her loss are learned. We condense them fram the Chicago papers: “ The Flying Cloud left. Chicago last Wednesday for Cleveland, with a cargo of 10,000 bushels of wheat, She had proceeded down the lake some fifty miles, with a fair wind, amd was near Racine when she enceuntered a vielent gale, accompnanied with snow, her sails split, and small boat swept away, aod she was rendered completely unmanageable. Suddenly the wind changed to the nerthwest, and the vessel was headed for Chicago, The weather was intensely celd, and the sea made clean breaches over the vessel. She was driven at the mercy of the waves back towards the head of the lake during the night of Wednesday. About ten o’cslock on Thursday a blinding suew storm set in, and about two o’cloek in the afternoon, the moat bitter cold day of the season, she struck on the rocks at a place called Grand Calumet, a wild, bleak coast, covered with snow, and ne friendly hands to render assistance, The Captain and crew immediately took to the riggin, where they remained all day, and at night came down and spent the night on the quarter deck, lashed to the spars. In the morning twe of the men were feund pase and the captain scarcely able to articuate. The whole of the crew were already nearly frozen and unable to swim. They consisted of nine persous, mostly belonging te Cleveland, viz: Alexander Sherwood, captain; George Gordon, let mate; Paul Stedd, 2d mate; John Flanders, steward; (shipped im this city from bark Morgan,) and John Small, George Grimby, Watt Bain, Francis Fox, and Henry Colemap, crew. The captain, steward, John Small, and George Grimby were soon so badly frozen that they were unable to move. The captain wanted te jump overboard, but was prevented by the others, as he would have drowned immediately, though he was only to die by the more lingering death of freezing. About nine A. M., the mate George Gordon, jumped overboard and swamashore. On reaching it he preceived two men dragging a boat down the beach te their shanty at the mouth of the river. He was subsequently found within twenty rods of the shanty, having mistaken the path, cold and lifeless. A sailor by the name of Bain followed the mate overboard, but fell within six rods of the vessel, where his body was afterwards found. Both freze to death, and are now on the beach dead. Another seaman, by the name of Franklin Fox, was the next to jump over, and was fortunately met by the men with the boat, who directed him to their ye a mile and a half! from the creek, while they labored to rescue the . others. They succeeded in saving a boy by the name of Henry Coleman, but on taking on another, the boat was swamped and broken to pieces, and the unfortunate man was drowned. . The captain was so chilled that he could not stand, and could not avail himself of the efforts to rescue him, Fox was badly frozen and crippled, was without any clothes, and after being supplied by some shingle makers, went to Miller’s station, on the Michigan Southern Railioad, three miles distant from the wreck, and came to Chicago. The boy Coleman managed to get ashore alive, and remained at the shanty near the wreck, badly frozen. Ou the arrival of Fox at Chieago a subsoription was set on foot, and a handsome sum collected. Mr. J. Barney and William Hea immediately proceeded to the scene of disaster, and found the vessel broken in two, with the captain and two others enveloped in their icy shrouds, in . the position in which death overtuok them, upon her deck; but having no boat they were umable to take off their bodies. The bodies of the mate and Bain were found lying where they fell. Captain Hea and Mr. Barney returned from the wreck to Chicago on Tuesday, with three of the hodies—that of the mate, George Gordon, and Watt Bain and George Grimly, seamen. . Bain and Grimly belong to Cleveland, and Gordon at Port Huron. The bodies were terribly frozen and distorted, showing the intense agony the victims must have suffered ere death released them. The bodies of the captain, cook and boy are still on board, and cau be plainly aeen from the beach. It was impossible te get them off en Tuesday, the sea running mountains high, but they will probably be brought off soon. The Coroner of Lake county, Indiana, held . the inquest on the bodies brought te the city, and they will be buried by subscription of members of the Board of Trade. The bedy of the captain, when reeovered, will be taken to Cleveland. The captain leaves a wife and child, and Geo. Grimly a wife. The rest are unmarried. . The Flying Cloud was owned by Barney, . va a nee CH — qvencemeete SN ELE PAE EIT ee nr ee eww WHOLE NO. 222. NEWS ITEMS. Liev. Ives’ Parry.—Fears were entertained at Fort Yuma, of the safety of Lieut, Ives and his party. From a letter received by the late southern mail, from a spennns at Fort Yuma, the 8, F. Herald is permitted to make the following extract: “You will be surprised te learn that T am still at Fert Yuma. We arrived bere om the morning of Dec. 4th, and have been waiting the arrival! of the river steamer with news from the Monterey. She is now fifteen days over due, and we are beginning te feel anxious fer the safety of Lieut. Ives and those who accomanied him, If she is not beard frem ieut, Winder, who is in command at this 4 will send an express down the river to ascertain, if possible, the cause of the delay. Dr. Newberry and party, whe left San Francisco a fortnight before us, also destined for the mouth ef the Colorado, are, like ourselves, waiting the arrival of the steamer. Fara axp Mysrertous Fracas.— At nine o’clock last evening, says the Sierra Democrat of Dec, 26th, a messenger arrived from Onion Flat, with a call for the Sheriff, and soother for Dr. Aiken. The Doctor went up te the Fiat, and found that twe Italians, brothers, had been quarreling, and a third man, also au Italian, in attempting to separate them received a severe stab from a sheath knife. Antonio Sanchez, who was specially deputized for thie occasion, found the two brothers secured in a eabin. They were brought dewn on mules, and ledged in jail, About half an hour afterwards one ef the prisoners died, although during the three hoars in the cabin and a ride of: cight miles, neta word was heard frem him about being wounded. On examination, it was found that he had six wounds, two of which entered the cavity of the chest. The Doctor says the stabs must have been inflicted by himself, after being put in jail. Aw Exrraorpinany Circumstanor.-On Monday last, the wife ef Col. Ayes, accompanied: by her aged mother, arrived here from the States. The mother is about 80 years of age, and was se feeble that she could not ride upon horseback from Shasta to Soda Springs. But it is: said, truly, that ‘necessity is the motherof invention,” so the old boned was put on a litter, and four Chinamen employed to carry it over the Trinity mountains, We are informed that she feels pone the worse for the trip, and we hepe she may live mavy days te enjoy the comparionship of her children, even in the far off land’ of thelr adopted home. She is probably the the oldest person that has ventured so far up among the bleak pillars of the Sierras.— [Siskiyou' Chroniele, Dec. 24th. Periwous Apventure.—-The Placer Courier contains an interesting account of the adventure of two men who crossed the Sterra Nevada’ from Lake Bigler about the first ef December, during the prevalence of a severe storm, and’ of their subsequent trials and sufferines. After wandering about for eight days, during which’ time they subsisted on less than a pound of jackass meat, they reached Duncan Caffen,: badly frezen and completely exhausted. Word! being sent for relief to Last Chance, the neble hearted men of thatcamp turned out twenty’ strong, and brought the sufferers in upon sleds. Sxow on THE Mountatns.—The Shasta Republican says the snew on the Salmon mountains is about ten feet deep. Mr. Ritner was compelled to travel on snow shoes in order to cross these mountains, The trade with the Salmon communities is of course closed for the winter. On Scott mountain there is but little snow. On the north side of Trinity mountalo there ig a little snow, but not suffieient te impede travel, : There is now no snow on the trail from Shasta’ to Yreka by way of the Sacramento route. Miss Onivy OatMan,—An earnest appedl is made, in the San Jose Tribune, in behalf of this young lady. The touching and interesting . story of her captivity and suffering among the Mohave Indiane, and the death of her little sister by starvation, has probably been perused by many of our readers. She is now at San Jose, and is anxious to complete her education, which she has no meansof doing. Miss Oatman is certainly entitled to the aid of the people of California, Masonic Lopges in Cauirorria.—There’ aré at the present time, 113 Masonic Lodges in this State, under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of the State. There are 4,282 Master Masons, 252 Fellow Craft, and 685 Entered Apprentice Masons in good standing in this State.
