for dinner, Mrs, R, desired the men. to sit

Robert Bland came in, and asked the wosoldiers had arms with them.

over their beads and said. “You are my

~ NUMBER 664,
The Mails of the Golden Gate—the Last
Rites of the Dead,
Mr, Morrell, U.S. Consul at Manzanillo,
writes as follows, under daje of Auguet 18,
. to the San Francisco Postmaster:
Sim—Your communication of the 10h
. instant, in relation to the U.S mails which
. Were on board the Golden Gate at the time
. of her burning, was received yesterday per
. Golden Age. I regret to inform you tbat
. but a small portion of that mail matter has
. been recovered. It bas been mostly-stolen
. or wantonly destroyed by thieves and ma. randers, who flocked to the wreck a day or
two after the disasier, aud were basy with
. the work of plunder for some days, I bad
no reason to suppose that any mails had
. been washed ashore, Capt. Hudson reported
that when he left the beach in front of the
wreck, on the morning after the disaster,
none bad been seen up to that time; and
the inferefee was, that the mails bad been
burned along with the baggage. Bat a few
days afterwards, when be visited the wreck,
he says be saw seven mail bags, or rather
the remains of them, which had been cut
open, and the beach was covered with letters, all open, and most of them torn.
Abont the same time I learned that bills of
exchange, drafts aud certificates, some of
which [ saw, were being brought here by
variots persons, who, in their ignorance,
expected to gain some profit from them.
Among the frst lot which was shown te me,
were two or three Treasury notes, for sma)!
amounts, I immediately communicated
with the Captain of the Port, and requested
him to take possession of all letters and
papers of every kind, whatever, that might
be brought here, ard also to send word to
bie men, who, for the time being, had supervision of the wreck, to secure all papers
that might be foand there, and to deliver
them to me, in sealed packager, for tranemission to San Francieco. He acceded
readily to my request, and on the 9th instant delivered me a sack, sealed as requeeted, the contents of whieh I am unacquainted with; and on the same day I delivered
it to Cept. Hudson, who forwarded it, per
Orizaba, to the Agents of the P, M. S. 8.
Company in San Francisco, It seems that
a greater portion of the whole letter mail
was robbed. I have already represented
this, as wellas all other facts connected
with the loss of the ill fated steamer, to the
Secretary of State of the U. 8. A., and I
have included them all in Oapt. Hudson's
protest. I returned from the wreck on the
16th inst., baving been there for the purpose
of burying the remainder of the dead; and
there were then only afew fragmenta of
letters scatiered about. Should any more
lettereor papers make their way here, I
will cause them to be secured and forward. ed to you,
.
In a private letter to another party the
. consul gaye:
It was not tillthe morning of the 15th
that T reached the beach, at a point 4 miles
from the wreck. The firet object that met
. my sight was w body which bad been thrown
up by the sea, along with portions of the
wreck and other drift wood. It wasentirely destitute of clothing, lying on the face,
. and the attitude was that of one in the aet
of trying to ecramble ap the beach
while the undertow was dragging him back.
Cluse by was another, alsu lying on the
face, the arms reaching forward and the
legs straightened out, as iu the act of swimming. The several remains were in various
stages of decay, and in all poesible attitudes
and with two or three exceptions, destitute
. of clothing. I saw none that Thad reason
. to suppose were females, though it was
wholly impossible to distinguish either sex
or age. Some few were underneath massive
pieces of timber and spare, vo filled op
above and around them that it wae imporsible to get at them for interment. I knew
not what todo, except to leave them as
they were. Oneof the persons with me
suggested burning, that, as is well known,
being the invariable method in this country
. of dianosing of those killed in battle, friends
. and foes alike. Shocking as was the alter. native, [thought it preferable to leaviog
them thus to rot above ground; and there. fore, after taking away the skulle, which
were more or less detached, for interment,
the fires were kindled, God forgive me }t
I did wroug.
Without going into further particniars,
suffice it to say that the earthly remains of
those 26 victims lie buried on the bank
above the beach, their graves scattered
over an extent of five miles aleng the shore
and across marks the resting place of
each.
