She had struck on the rocks Oh Point Arena, and
when the steam gave out, she had made about ten
miles to the southwark. Here, little after day
light two RATS were made of spare spars and casks
AT o'clock the first raft left in tow of boat for
the beach. about two miles Off Hore, most fortu-
nately, small cove was discovered, at which the
raft, with twelve Of the passengers, was landed.
The second raft remained until it was found impos-
sible to get the ship into the cove, when finding
longer stay useless the rest of the passengers and
crew, except Capt Pierce and Mr.. Frank Duff, left
FOR the shore. Capt Pierce and Mr.. Daft remained
on board until she again struck and passed over one
ledge of rock. The vessel sank in fifteen minutes
after they left her, in five fathoms water Nothing
was saved from the wreck-the passengers not
being able to get any OF their baggage ashore.
Capt Pierce went down in his boat to Fort Ross
where he obtained horse, and travelled post haste
across the country to Bodega, and thence to this
place, in hopes OF catching the steamer which left
here to day. He got in about II o'clock to-day, toe
late for the steamer, and leaves at an early hour
tomorrow morning, in q schooner, for San Fran
cisco. The passengers making the best of theii

The Arispe was fine new steamer, of 336 tons
valued at $50 000 and had but recently been put on
the route from San Francisco to Humboldt Bay

being out of order, the course he was steering
should certainly have carried him clear OF the Point

hands would have been lost.

his Excellency the President returned from the de-

weeks experimenting the bringing up Of the can

Salvos Of artillery were fired during the day; the
whole OF the troops were under arms, and general
rejoicing took place. The conveyance of these guns
has been tedious and difficult affair. The expedi.
ton left this city on the eth of November last and
was commanded by VIM. Knoth, Esq, Private Sc.
cretary to his Excellency, and proceeded slowly to
he former port Of Teeman, on the Polochic river;
consisted Of about SOC Indians and some 800
or 400 soldiers. On the route they were at
tackled by the Jactiosos, and lost q few men,
with several wounded. The guns had been forward.

Affairs, however, are now beginning to mend there
