accommodate all that were disposed to
devote a day to the enjoyment Of plea

shades of the grove, and smile of the
children. At o'clock our whitened
canvas was spread and our homes ap-
pearing in the distance was soon lost
sight Of While our floating castle was
bearing to our beautiful bay this happy
company, there was brought to my
mind the first verse of the l33d Psalm,
" Behold how good and how pleasant it
is for brethren to dwell together in
unity" Truly every countenance be-
spoke joy, and every act seemed a spon-
taneous outburst of affection. At II
o'clock we discovered floating from a
spar beautiful ensign which was the
signal to, come, for all things were
ready. Our captain gave orders to

Ascending the hill on the west side of
the grove we found ourselves in the
vicinity of table some eighty feet in
length, literally loaded with the good
things Of this life-the whole tastefully
arranged and interspersed with flowers.
Around this we were invited to assem-

THE CALIFORNIA EmGRArIoS.-Some idea of the rush
California and Of the crowds who throng the Isthmus
awaiting passage may be formed from the fact that the
steamship Golden GATE, which left Panama the 18th
ultmo for San Francisco took up thirteen hundred
sengers The New Orleans the day. took up six
hundred. large number also took passage by sailing
vessels between the LIST and 18th Of February nd there
yet remained at Panama between four and FIVE thousand
persons awaiting conveyance to California
The telegraph reported that the steamer McKim bound
up from Panama, had put into San Diego with her pas
sengers dying from starvation having been sixtyfour
days from Panama The only additional account
find of this melancholy affair the following which is de-
rived from the report of the officers Of the steamship Ten
nessee, at Panama:
The steamer McKim was at San Diego, having been
"a days from Panama. When she started she had 200
passengers about thirty died at San Diego The Captain
turned the whole party ashore refusing have any thing
more to do with them He obtained some provisions
however and took them all back sending fifty into the
forest to cut wood for fuel to enable them reach San
Francisco They are probably at this time engaged in
cutting wood"
The unexpected accession Of four or five thousand
individuals to the population Of the Ishmus has produced
scarcity Of provisions Pork selling at from $50
SO per BARREL and beef at $50 barrel This and the
crowded state of the Isthmus steamers must occasion
great suffering to the California emigrants
