DEpARrURE.-A. A. Hunnewell,
Esq, our popular and worthy post-mas-
ter, left us, on Friday morning, for San
Francisco, whence he departs on the
steamer of the 1st March, on short
visit to his friends in the Atlantic States.
Mr.. Hunnewell, by his noble and man.
ly character, and XII ID and cheerful dis
position has made many warm friends in
Columbia, who will look forward with
pleasure to time when they can again
shake their jovial companion by the
hand. Nay he realize all the pleasure
he anticipates, and God speed his safe
return.
Mr.. B. B. Tincum has been appoint
ed Deputy Postmaster, by Mr.. Hume
well, until his return. Mr.. T. has long
been an assistant in the postofice, and
b5 his pleasing and obliging manners,
has gained the friendship and good will
of all our citizens A better selection,
or one more satisfactory to the letter
receiving public could not have been
made.

AMERICAN PROMOTION OF LITERARY
MEN.-Another instance of the way in
which certain matters are managed in
America comes to us in the shape of a
report that Mr. Hiram Powers, the
sculptor, has received the lucrative ap-
pointment of commercial agent of the
United States at Florence. The men
of Washington have caught the knack
of turning genius to account. They
have got noble biography out of their
Spanish minister plcnipotentiary, Wash
ington Irving; Mr. Stiles has repaid
them for his Vienna appointment by a
solid book on the state of Germany; Mr..
Edmund Flagg, their consul in Venice,
has written a work on the Getty Of the
Sea-" of which American critics speak
in glowing terms. Bancroft was sent
to England to protect the interests OF
his country, and complete his studies
ofhis country's history at the river head:
and Mr.. Hawthorne is now in Liver
pool, observing customs on scale some
what larger than those so wonderfully
daguerreotyped by him at Salem, "the
place of st:"-Atheneum.

10 We have been kindly furnished
by Mr.. Coffroth with the following true
oopy Of the bill in reference to grave
yards, introduced by him, in the Senate
and which has since passed both branch
e of the Legislature, and becsHe Law
Of she land. We consider The bill one Of
great importance, and hope to see it
strictly enforced; the penalties incurred
BY its violation are BY ~ means too
stringent:
An Aet to protect the bodies Of deceas-
ed persons and public grave-yards.
The people Of the State of California,
represented tr Senate and As,embly, DO
enact as toHoses:
SEC. l. Any person or persons who
shall enter or modest the enclosure of a
public graveyard for Agricultural, Min
ing, or any other purpose; or who shall
disinter, mutilate, or remove the body of
any deceased person after the same has
been inferred in any graveyard, vault,
or ether place Of burial, shall be deem
guilty Of misdemeanor, and upon con-
viction thereof, in Court of competent
jurisdiction, shall be punished by i'm
prisonment in the State prison not less
than two, nor more than ten years: Pro-
rided, That nothing herein contained
shall be construed to prevent the rela-
tions or their agents from removing the
body Of deceased relative or friend.
Sac. 2. Any person or persons who
shall tear down or destroy any fence or
enclosure around public graveyard, or
cause the same to be torn down, shall
be deemed guilty of a public offence,
and upon conviction thereof, before any
Justice of the Peace, Recorder or May
or of any Incorporated city, shall be
punished by imprisonment in the Coun-
ty Jail, not less than two, nor more than
six months, or by fine of not less than
one hundred nor more than Eve hundred
dollars, or by both such imprisonment
and fine.
SEC. 3. When grave-yards are To-
Gated on public lands, they shall not
contain more than an area of FIVE acres.
SEC. 4. Where the bodies Of six or
more persons are buried, it is hereby de-
clared public graveyard.

LATER FROM THE STATES.

ARRIVAL OF THE SrEAMsHIP J. L.
SrsPHEss.-The steamship San Fran
cisco, having On board the third regiment
q. S. Artillery and quantity ofmlita-
~ stores, sailed for California, via the
Straits Of Magellan. On the morning
of the oath, when about 200 AAles of
Charleston, s. c., violent gale spring.
ing up from the northwest, producing I
heavy sea and causing the vessel to labor
much, several times she broaehed to, and
her sails An I upper rigging were blown
away by furious gusts ofwind. At length
the piston rod of an air pump giving way,
the engine broke down, and the ship lay
helpless in the trough of the sea. At nine
O'Clock, A. NJ. on the following morning.
she was struck amidships by tremen-
dous sea, which carried away her upper
saloon, smoke stack and the after part
Of her hurricane deck, and at one blow
swept into eternity more than $50 souls.
The main deck was partly crushed in,
and each successive wave threatened to
engulph the ill-fated vessel. Capt.
Watkins and his stout-hearted assistant.
promptly adopted all The means within
their power to keep the ship aAoat, and
sustain tho energies Of those entrusted
to their care. Pumps were rugged and
gangs Of soldiers with buckets also en-
deavoring to relieve the ship ofths water
that was constantly pouring in through
her broken upper works. In this man
ner they passed several days of extreme
suffering, which was aggravated by the
crowded condition and unwholesome odor
of the between decks, and received ad-
ditional horrors from the appearance of
a malignant species Of cholera morbus;
this caused the death ofover 60 persons
Being by good fortune within the track
of the gulf trades.
The appearance of several vessels at
length relieved the apprehcnsions of the
survivors, and eventually they were all
rescued.
The Antartic rescued the last of those
taken off the San Francisco, among them
being Capt. Watkins, and continued her
voyage to San Francisco. The first in
telligence Of the misfortune of the San
Francisco was brought to Boston by a
vessel which was unable to afford relief,
in consequence of the violence Of the
gale. Vessels were sent out in search of
her from all the Atlantic ports, and un-
til the arrival Of the first detachment of
survivors, the most intence excitement
prevailed throughout tho country.
Great praise is awarded Capt Watkins
and his first officer, Mr.. Mellus, who
were ably seconded by the army officers
on board. Lieut. Maury, Of the u. S.
Navy, is also spoken of in terms Of high
commentator.
Among tho lost were Colonel Wash
ington, Maj. Taylor, Mrs. Taylor, Capt.
II. b. Field, Lieut.. H. Smith, and $50
soldiers.
1t was said that the Emperor of France
had received dispatches from Madrid,
stating that MIR. Soule had been killed
in duel. 1t needs confirmation.

The BELL RuNG BY THE SEA-ln
the Southampton Dock there arc three
patent bell buoys, which the Mexican
Government have ordered for part Of
the coast in the Gulf of Mexico. They
are enormous buoys with large bells, and
their use is ia thick and foggy weather
when the buoys cannot be seen. The
surging of the waves causes the bells to
ring, which give information of the lo-
cality of the buoys. The apparatus is
such also as to answer the purpose Of the
buoys, where several persons can be
sheltered until they arc rescued. Their
use, in enabling ships to enter channels
in fogs, is invaluable. The under part
of the bell buoy is boat-shaped; and is
admirably formed to roll about in tho
water to ring the bell that is attached
to it. From the upper surface of tho
buoy circular aud tapering palisading
is raised several feet in height, inside
of which, towards the top, the bell 10
hung SO as to ring at the slightest move

-Lusus NAruRE.-The following lu.
sus natxr1 is described by the Sacra-
mento Union in the following terms:
Lusus NAruRx.-Dropping into the
"K Street Drug Store" yesterday, We
observed DR.. Logan busily engaged in
his Office making drawing Of the most
monstrous lusus Matur& We ever saw
1t vas no less than An abortive attempt
on the part Of dame nature to manufac-
ture human being out Of q hog. The
animal had attained its complete fetal
growth, and vas one of litter Of we'll
and natural formed pigs. The psrticu-
lar one in question, however, is entirely
destitute of hair, while its skin is white
and smooth. The forehead and head
are full and round, and at about the
same facial angle as the Caucasian race.
In lieu Of the nose, probocis, in exact
miniature shape of an elephants, pro-
ceeds from above and between the eyes,
and rests on the upper lip. The eyes
are large and round, and full as mans.
The lower jaw and chin project beyond
the upper, and the tongue protrudcs a
little beyond the lips. The ears are
aattened, and laid back against the side
of the head. indeed, the whole con-
tour and figure of the head and face are
those of a human being, while the rest
of the strange animal partake. of the
characteristic formation of the poreine
species. We understand that thi. phe-
nomenon was obtained by gentleman
of this city from one Of the neiyhboring
mining districts, and that he intends
sending it to Europe in order to give
the savans there An opportunity to spec
ulate concerning the formation.

The Indians ~ Shasta Co.
We are indebted to A. g. Richard
son, Esq, Of Adams & Co.'S Express,
for the following information, received
by him through their ever attentive and
reliable messenger, Mr.. Magarry. The
account is horrible one, and the trans
action will probably lead to another and
speedy Indian war.
Two white men, one named Guild
the other ingalls,, while on a prospect
ing tour, in company with nineteen Chi
namen, we're murdered on McCloud's 5
River, twenty miles east of Pittsburgh,
Shasta County, by the Indians. They
were eneamped, and fifteen Indians
came into camp. The white mems
guns were stacked nsar them. The
Indians appeared friendly at first; but Il.
a word from the chief they seized the
guns and run with them; ingalls, seized
club and struck the hindmost Indian
and knocked him down. The Indians
Immediately commenced firing on Guild
and Ingalls,, and also at the Cinnamon.
Six of the Cinnamon escaped and came
to Pittsburgh. A party started out i'm
mediately, and found the body of In
gals; one arm cut off at the elbow, and
his head smashed up horribly with
stones. They also found the bodies of
thirteen Cinnamon; three had their arms
cut off, and all their heads had been
smashed in with stones. The body of
Gould could not be found They saw
tracks which they supposed to be his,
leading down to the river; also blood
trailing along. They also saw marks of
an axe which they supposed he fought
with, and they supposed he jumped into
the river From appearances, some Of
the Cinnamon had fought like tigers,
the ground around them being complete :

THE WRECK.-The wreck of the sbi,

THE Wreck. The wreck of the ship
San Francisco has been swarrning with
wreckers, who have employed themselves
in sar,ng the cargo. But one arrest has
been made, and the person was dischar-
ged. The wreck as she lies with the
portion of her cargo that was insured,
was sold yesterday to Capt. Wright, OF
the Goliah, for sl2, 800. It's stated the
San Francisco has on board between
twenty or thirty thousand dollars worth
of cargo, which is not insured, and on
which the purchaser is entitled to salvage
if saved by him. 1t il thought that the
loss caused by the wreck will exceed
$400,00O. Should the storm continue
as violent as at the time of writing, it is
possible that the purchase will not prove
very profitable ne.-Tfanseyipt

I.ossor President WALKER's NAvy

The San says that the bark Anita,
alias "Cal!ao," alias Hannah Of Tahiti
has, We learn, had her name again chan
sed, and is now the Pctri:a, having been
purchased by gentleman of this city
with the view of using her ss packet
between Guaymas and San Francisco.
The purchase of this vessel makes the
condition of the Walker Filibusters, il
possible, more critical than ever, as it
dcprives them of their entire navy, and
leaves their naval commander without 4
quarter deck to strut his brief career
upon.
