THE MORTALITY ON THE UNCLE SAM.-We pub
lished yesterday, the names of lO6 persons who
died of cholera on tho steamer Uncle Sam on her
passage from San Juan to San Francisco last
month Some reports make the mortality much
greater. One puts it as high $50, but this is
supposed to be an exaggeration. The steamer
arrived at San Francisco the 18th ult, on
hospital. subsequently six of them died, viz
Henry Smith, Charles Walton, Mary Holland.
John German, Margaret Moore and Ellen 1r(ien-
try. Two others, John Harris and Ellen Smith.
were supposed to be dying at last accounts The
San Francisco papers speak in high terms of the
Sisters of Mercy for their devoted attention to the
sick and the dying at the hospital The Transcript
says
Much of the sickness on board is attributed to
the imprudsnee of the passengers, many of whom
crossed the Isthmus foot and indulged freely in
eating and drinking on the Pacific side. 4 large
number of passengers were compelled to walk
across the lsthmus owing TO the political troubles
in that vicinity, which had caused the natives to
remove their mules. The passage was one of the
most uncomfortable and boisterous ever expert,
encod upon the Pacific side, which added to the
horrors of the voyage. The deaths were generally
very sudden, none surviving over from two to six
hours from the time they were attacked. The pa
mic on board was dreadful wives abandoned their
husbands and husbands their wives while both
abandoned their children. The passengers were
allowed by the company three dollars each for
crossing the Isthmus on foot. One young man
who was cabin passenger, while intercedng for
friend in the steerage, WAS suddenly taken with
vomiting, and died in two hours The conduct OF
the officers Of the ship, of DIR. Fitch the surgeon
of Dr. Moses of the army, Messrs. b. F. Moses NJ
ID. Eyre, Butterield, and Mr.. Buchanan during
these trying scenes, is highly spoken of by the
passengers.

INDIGNANT BELLIGERENTS.--MCssrs Reed &,
Dougherty, of California who placed their schooner
at the service of the shipwrecked Russians at ST.
moda Japan, to convey them to a Russian settle
ment, say that they found the unfortunate fellows
destitute of many of the comforts of life and add
AT the time we agreed to take them we were
under the impression that we had perfect right to
release these sufferers and that their enemys ships
could not interfere with should they find us in
the act. But we have since met several English
men-of-war in Hakodadi who were quite indignant
towards us for having aided the poor wrecked Rus
slams, and assured lis that if they had fallen in with
while engaged in the service we would have
been taken prisoners and vessel seized. We
replied that had our nation been at war with the
Russians, under the same circumstances we would
have sent our ships TO assist them and if pos-
sible to land them on their own Shores free of
charge"

ry Of the concealed Body.-The New Haven Pala-
dunn has the following account of an atrocious
murder in that city:
Sometime in the latter part of April last Mary
Ann, aged q, wife of Isaac Randolph (coored

white man, named William Tuttle and his wife
missed. Her husband, who had frequently
beaten her. was arrested at the time but discharged
for want of convictive testimony. He is a black
man. a butcher by occupation, and married his wife,
who was nearly white, about year ago. On ed
nesday, the father OF Mrs r. searched with Others
i'll the garden and upon digging into the EARTH the
trunk of a woman was found, clothed in a pink
waist and wrapped in coarse sacking. The waist
was the same which she wore the night previous to
her disappearance. Upon digging in other places
other dismembered portions of the body were
found, also wrapped in sacking. The head was
severed from the body, the trunk disointed at the
thighs the legs sundered at the knees and the
severed at the shoulders and elbows-all in a re-
markable state of preservation, and such as could
fail to identify the person. The features of the
face We're almost perfect.
