The san Francisco Disaster.

There is melancholy satisfaction in witnessing the
prompness and earnestness with which the hearts and
energies Of all have been enlisted by the late terrible dis
assr Of the San Francisco. When the first reach
ed Washington the Secretaries OF the Navy and of War
lost no time in making every exeon 10 send out timely
relief and since the full of the loss and suffering
has been developed these hearted men have done
all in their power 10 alleviate the ds,esses and deprva

Of the executive officers to the calls OF humanity
cevipg the universal commentators of their country
men.
BY reference to the proceedings in the two houses OF
Congress- il is seen that the promptness and energy
have characterized the action of those bodies. The
resolutions providing Tor suitable testimonial 10 the
commanders and OF the vessels which behaved
nobly in rescuing the sufferers on the San Francisco will
meet hearty response from every heart. The Bal
tmore Clipper makes the following just and appropriate
remarks in regard to the captain Of the San Francisco
and the captain Of the Three Bells
