Intellirenccr that by the anncXati of Texas, we
have secured 10 Us the shortest and best route
across the contine nj for national and commercial
highway to our possessions on the Pacific surpass-
ing those either OF Panama, the isthmus of Daren,
or Tehuantepec, where distance OF several tnOu-
sand miles would have to he steamed sailed

loosa, from that city, after proceeding about ten
or eleven miles up the river, explosion of two
OF her boilers took place, which instantly killed
several of the passengers and many OF the boats
and officers The explosion completely tore up the boiler
deck and shattered the after part OF the boat (below
deck) considerably.
The boat, after the explosion swung the shore and
grounded her stern remaining nearly in the centre of the
river. The ladies were all lowered from the cabin by
rope to the lower deck, and from thence ashore

panied by two young kinsmen, Messrs w. r. and j. d.

and some twenty thousand dollars in gold, for the pay
ment of troops in California This gentleman was for
mery botanist TO the exploring expedition and has been
selected no doubt for his present duty with reference to
his peculiar qualifications, the appointment was con-
fered on him unsolicited, and he is well known at
Washington as thoroughly conversant with the people
and country he is going through well the language
and customs. The department desired hum to take one
Hundred and fftg thousand dollars in gold but he more
prudent declined it and it well that he did so, for
the night previous TO his arrival here, the stage broke
