THE LOST PAssENGERs.-No hope is enter
tanned that any more of the missing passengers
of the Central America will ever be heard from.
The following arc the names of the lost, who
resided in this county, as far as we have been
! able to learn l. N. Van Hagan and Samuel
P. Swan, of Rongh g. Ready township; John
Rudwell, VIM. Probert, Henry Denenbsrg, John
Leach and Albert F. Crowell. Of Grass Valley;
A. j. Alston, N. c. Mccormick, G. A. Low, and
- Lite hGeId. of Nevada; Hiram Stinchfed
and J, Chapman, Of Red Dog-making in all
thirteen. Mcssrs. Van Hagan, Swan and Rud-
well, were accompanied by their wives. who
were saved. Letters received by the late steam
er, however, state that Mrs. Van Hagan was
very sick. and not expected to survive. Robert
Hutchinson and John Cummins were the only
men from this county on board the steamer who
were saved. Hutchinson went aboard the Ma
rine in one Of the life boats. and Cummins was
picked up by the bark Ellen the next morning
after the steamer went down. Mr.. Alstol at
tempted to get into lfe-boat, but was crushed
as he was lowering himself down between the
steamer and boat. 1t seems that Mr.. Van Ha-
gan had an opportunity of leaving the steamer,
but he preferred to remain and take bis chances
with the other passengers. An instance of real
calmness in the face of death is related by DR..
Harvey, of Placcrville, in which Mr.. Van Ha-
gan participated. A few minutes before the
steamer went down, Drs. Harvey aud Gibbs,
assisted by Mr.. Van Hagan, reduced a dislocat-
ed shoulder and set All arm. and after doing il
they had just time enough left to get on deck
with their patient when the ship went Down

RICu QUARTz.-The quartz lead now being
worked by Messrs. Green. Allen and others on
DcadwCod Creek. is believed to be one of the
most valuable in that section. 1t was opened
some months ago. and few tons of rock haul
ed to Grass Valley aud crusbad, which paid
about SIG II ton; another lot was after ards
crushed at the Canada Hill mill, paying $33 a
ton. They have now got down deeper on the
lead, aud are confident the rock they az VOW
taking out will pay not less than $lOO ton.
The lead is located about quarter of a mile
from the mill now being erected by Paul ~
Hoadly; it is owned by four men, who are hard
at work getting out rock, and by the time the
mill is completed they expect to have hun
dred tons ready for crushing. The proprietors
are all bard working men. and we trust their
most sanguine anticipations may be realized.

NORTH SAN JUAN, Nov. 10th.
EDrroR DEMoCRAT.-Some four months since'
while at work in tunnel on Shady creek, Mr..
Grove Yale was injured by premature blast,
fracturing his thigh, breaking shoulder blade
and rib, and entirely destroying both eye-oaiis'
He was brought to this place, and placed under
charge of Dr. Randall. He has nearly recoV-
cred the use of his legs, and is very nearly III
condition for removal. Some acquaintances
about to retu. home, having offered to take
charge of him, the ladies of our town took i'm
mediate steps to raise the necessary means to
get him thither, and adopted the plan OF ball.
VII .ch came off on Tuesday, the Sd instant.
Owing to the active exertions of the COM

cuniary result successful beyond anticipation,
as you will see by the report of the Committee
The heavy storm prevented the attendance OF
a great many, but enhanced the comfort and
pleasure of these present, there being but
slight disparity in the number of each sex. All
seemed to enjoy the festival to the utmost, con
scous, perhaps, of having done good deed,
by contributing to the relief of an unfortunate
fellow being. 2
The ladies of the committee, not content with
the good work already accomplished, have ad-
dressed an appeal to the agents of the z. M. 5.

cd Cavalry at Buraxj"en-Rid Ins
down n PevstAn Infantry square.
By the steamship Africa, we have addition
al news from Persia, dated at Bushire, to
the 18th Of February.
General ontram was then preparing to
send an expedition to capture Mohnmrad on
the river karun or karroon, and the Persian
army wns collecting again ut Buraz joon.
| In the late affair, the native cavalry be-
haved very we'll. A letter to q Calcutta pa
per says: "When Forbes, who commanded
this regiment, gave the order to charge, he
and his adjutant, young Moore, placed them
selves in front OF the sixth troop, which was
the one directly opposite the nearest face ui
the square. The other Moore, Malculmson,
and spens, came the last thing behind, riding
knee to knee, with spurs in their horses
TANKS, AS if racing after hog. In rear of
them rushed the dark troopers Of the third,
mad 10 avenge the death Of poor Malet ut
Bushire. In spite Of steel, ERE and bullets,
they tore down upon the nearest fuce OF the
devoted square. As they approached, Forbes
Was shot through the thigh, and Spens' horse
was wounded, but, unheeding, they swept on
ward. Daunted by the flashes and the FIRE,
and the noise and cracke OF the musketry,
the younger Moore's horse sweryed AS they
came up. Dropping his sword from his
hand and letting it hang by the kno\ NJ his
wrist, he caught up the reins in both kands,
screwed his head straight, and then coolly,
il riding at fence, leapt him at the square.
If, therefore, any man can be said to have
been first, the younger Moore is that man.
Of course the horse fell stone dead upon the
bayonets /; so did his brothers., ridden with
equal courage and determination. The elder
Moore--eighteen stone in weight, and six
feet seven, or there, bout, in height-cut his
way out on foot. Malcolmson took one foot
out OF his stlrrup when he saw his brother
Officer down and unarmed, (for his sword had
been broken 10 pieces by the fall } and, hold
ing on TO that, the younger Moore escaped.
The barrier once broken, and the entrance
once made, through it poured the avenging
troopers. On and over everything they rode,
till, getting clear out, they reformed on the
other side, wheeled and swept back--a Sec
ond wave Of ruin. Out Of FIVE hundred Per-
sian soldiers Of the first regular regiment Of
Ears, who composed that fated square, only
twenty escaped TO tell the tale OF lis destruc-
ton. Thus the third light cavalry, to use
their own phrase, gave our enemies q jewnb
(answer) for the death of Maiet Sakib Bah
adur.
