the influence of the Mormons, and that they are
incited to hostilities against the whites by Brigham Young’s satelites. As an evidence of this
it is enid that at the late attack on the fort, one
of the besieged heard one of the assailants, who
bore the outward marks of an Iudian, say in
better English thana Pah Utabever spoke,
“God damn ’em, we'll give it to’em next time!’’
The rescued passengers arrived in New York . 1; should be borne in mind, however, that the
Sept. 20th, and the details which we have received of the disaster were made up hurriedly
and published in the New York papers of the
next morning. The next mall steamer will be
due in about a week, with fourteen days later
news, and on her arrival all doubts in regard
to the fate of the missing passengers will be
dispelled.
The gale in which the Central America was
wrecked, from all accounts, must have been
unusually severe, but had the machinery and
pumps been in order there is no doubt it would
have withstood the storm. The steamer was
built in 1852, and was believed to bea staunch,
sea-worthy vessel, aud the Steamship Company
attributed the cause of the disaster to neglect
of duty on the part of the chief engineer, Ashby,
who is represented to have acted in a cowardly
and selfish manner. Ashby, however, in a card
published in the New York papers, exculpates
himself from some of the charges made against
him, and his story is partially substantiated by
the statement of Theodore Payne, one of the
rescued passengers, The chief engineer doubt
less acted badly, but the Company cannot be
held blameless. There were ouly five life-boats
on board, capable of carrying less than one
half of the passengers, and the life-preservers
were made of tin, which a trifling accideut
would render worthless.
In the calamity by which so many lives were
lost, itis a gratifying fact we are enabled to
record, that every woman and child on board
wassaved. The officers aud crew of the steamer,
and the male passengers, acted bravely and
nobly, for while death was staring them in
the face, so far as is now known, nota mau

The Missing Passengers.
Quite a number of the passengers on board
the ill-fated steamer Central America, were
from Nevada county, and of these, but two of
the men, R. Hutchinson and John Cummings,

Mr. Van Hagan has resided for seme years in
Rough & Ready, and had started on a visit to
the East. He was accompanied by his wite and

be likely to use an oath. Besides, the Mormons
have evidently given up all idea of gaining a
foot bold on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada, for bad they not, their people at Carson
Valley would not have been ordered to leave
that locality.
The Governor has decided to furnish the settlers at Honey Lake with arms and ammuuition.
and doubtless plenty of volunteers can be raised in a short time to resist any attack that may
be made by the Iudians. The only danger iv,
that the settlers will be cut off before assistance
can reach them,
“When the Vigilaice Committee first arrested

The above statement from the last number of
the Journal contains a direct falsehood. The
Democrat never uttered a word at any time ia

the number issued a day or two after King was

Committee. This was before they had imbracd

the intentions of the Committee had become
more fully developed by their acts, we took a
decided and unequivocal position agaiust the
treasonable orga ization. This wus at a time
when public opinion was strongly in favor of
the Committee,
in favor of the prostrate laws was construed into an apology for every species of crime. The

TueaTer.—Mrs. Julia Dean Hayne has given
a ceries of theatrical entertainments during the

of this talented actress, The pieces presented
during the week, however, with one or two exceptions, were not suited to her style of acting,
and the most of them had been played eo often
that few cared to witness them again. Mrs.
Hayne was supported by a fine stock company,

Miss Edwin, W. M. Leaman and Mr. Herton, as

The statements ef several passengers agree
that the conduct of Ashby, the chief engineer,
was cowardly. At his own request, he took
charge of one of the last boats that left the
steamer, solemnly promising to return; but failed todo so. He givesasa reason for not returning, that the boat’s crew refased to return
with him, and thie statement is partially substentiated. He says the engines were stopped
by the rapid raising of the water, making it impossible to get at the coal. He, however, gives
no explavation why the pumps were out of order.

Commodore Perry, He is extensively aud favorably known throughout the country as the
leader of the Amazon exploring expedition,
whose interesting report was published by Congress, This expedition occupied eleven mouths.
Two years ago be was appuinted to command
the Central America, then the Geo. Law. His
conduct during the trying times that preceded
the wreck of the steamer, is spoken of by the
rescued passengers as worthy of all praise. It
was principally owing to his cooluess aud heroic
exertions that the lives of all the women and
childreu on bourd were saved. He stoed on the
wheel-house when the steamer weut down, and
was last seen about 11 o’clock, struggling maufully for his life. There is a possibility that be
may have been picked up by the unknown
schooner spoken of by some “of the passengers.

PosTPONEMENT OF THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH
ENTERPRISE.—The directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company have resolved to postpone the
laying of their cable until next year. This is
prudent, It would be an ill-adviesed step to
risk the attempt in October, wheu the natural
obstacles of wind aud weather might of themselves entail a secoud failure. There are many
new points in the conduct of the enterprise to
be considered, and there is, doubtless, much
room for improvement in the necessary maebinery. It bas been urged that the breaks for
regulating the paying out of the eable should

to replacing them with men who would work
for leas than established rates. This is a movement that we regret to see, and one that in the
end must preve injurious to the interests of
that paper. Very much of the popularity that
