STARTLING INTELLIGENCE.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.

Tho dreadful news has just been re.
ceiyed of the wreck of the magnificent
Steamer San Francisco, which recently
left New York for California, with the
Sd Regiment of the United States Ar.
my on board: She was seen in latitude
3S degrees 90 minutes, her decks swept,
al her boats lost. and completely disa-
bled. 1t is feared every soul on board
will perish.
Senator Gw;n received this ;ntclli.
gepce this evening at S o'clock. and i'm
media,ely applied to the Secretary ofthe
Navy to send q government steamer or
vessel ofwag i'll search Of the wreck, to
save, possibly, those on board. There
is not one government vessel fit for sea
in any of our Atlantic ports. Senator
Gwip applied to the Secretary of War,
who, to his honor bs it said, promptly
authorized the charter Of Steamships
to proceed instantly 10 search Of the
San Francisco.
The Secretary Of the Treasury will
no doubt despatch also all avo!Iablere'-
enue cutters. in any Of our ports On the
sans errand of humanity and duty.
Between seven and eight hundred
persons are on board the wreck.
Tho San Francisco is supposed to
be the finest steamer ever built for the
Pacific trade. She had on board three
months provisions for the troops, stow;
ed away in her hold. Some flint hops
still exists tina: some Of the lives will be
saved.
