SERIOUS AND FATAL.-The surmises made
in the " Columbian" =" of the 5ih inst, of the
loss of the brig " Vandulia," Capt. Beard,
were confirmed by the arrival Of the last
mail, which brings us the melancholy III
dings of the loss of all on board. Capt. B.
formerly resided al Baltimore, and leaves a
young wife at Oregon City. The "vanda,
liza was wrecked off Maken1ie's Head,
FIVE miles north of Cape Disappointment

among the lost. The Vandalia" " drifted
ashore bottom up.
The 'Merithew' and The 'Mindoro' were

Ordered Home. By the following letter
received by the last mail from Folt Stella
COON from Sergeant JAMES HALL, it will
be observed that the officers and a portion
Of the non commissioned officers belonging
the detachment Of company an" FIRST
regiment OF United States Artillery, sta.
toned for nearly four years past at Fort
Slclacoom, have received express orders to
hold themselves IN readiness for embarka-
ton for the Atlantic states. Twill be with
feelings Of the egrFatcst reluctance felt On the
part Of many of our citizens, that they will
be compelled 10 surrender, perhaps forever,
the friendly intercourse and relationship
which has heretofore been so pleasantly en-
ioyed between them and Capt HILL, Lieu
t.nant J. DrNENr, and Sirgeants J. and R.
NJ. HALL. There is no appeal, however,
from the decision Of Uncle Sam" and
however much we may regret the separa-
ton, we must content ourselves with an
expression Of an earnest hope, that a per-
Petual sunshine may attend The future career
of each and all, in whatever cline, or in
whatever pursuit engaged, until they shall
receive final "order" TO join that nigh
ty caravan "tbat halls one night time in
the vale Of death"
We take pleasure in being able to state,
that Assistant Surgeon JoHN NJ. HADEN
will remain with the detachment Of two
companies Of The fourth regiment of In
fanlry, which have been ordered TO supply
the place Of the Artillery, and which Is ex-
pected over from Columbia barracks, as
soon as transportation can be obtained. A
mutual regretwill be experienced on part
ing company at Steilaeoom after so long and
pleasant an intimacy, but DR.. HADEv must

patize al his modification on being required

term Of service will expire the coming sum

also, that the "Jas p. Flint" " will be sci

doubt that hereafter whenever he, or any Of
his fliends, want to get public document
