Further Partic culars Of the Wreck OF tne
Auuna

rurther Particulars Of the Wreck Of the
Central America.
The New York papers Of Sept 2lst, are hlled
with the statements Of the rescued passengers
Of the Central America, many Of which are
thrilling interest.
The statements Of several passengers agree
that the conduct of Ashby, the chief enginser'
was cowardly. At his own request, be tosk
charge of one Of the last boats that left the
steamer. solemnly promising to return; but fall
ed to do so. He gives as . reason for not re-
turning, that the boats crew refused to return
with him, and this statement is partially sub
stantated. He says the engines were stopped
by the rapid raising Of the water, making it i'm
possible to get ct she cosl. He, however, gives
no explanation why the pumps were cut Of or
der.
The following dispatches contain the latest
intelligence received at New York previous to
the departure of the steamer
WASHINGTON, Sept 20.
A dispatch to the Petersburg Express, fren
Norfolk. yesterday, says that the passengers
saved by the Marine think that others have been
rescued. as tney saw several lights in the dis
tance on the fatal night. They entertain strong
hopes for the safety Of Capt. Herndou, who Was
on the wheelhouse when the ship went down.
He was last s,en clinging to plank, struggling
manfully for life.
When the survivors of the Marine entered tbs
parlor Of the National Hotel, Norfolk, thrilling
scenes were presented. Ladies would look
around, and failing to recognize husband,
brother or son, would give utserance to their
grief in long cries. or fall helpless to the floor.
The scene was distressing in the extreme, aud
beggars description.
A meeting OF the citizens was held for the re-
lief of the distressed, at which $500 were rails
ed. The clothing stores were thrown open, aud
apparel furnished to many who were nearly na-
ked.
DIR. Harvey, Of Placerville. awards great

The Missing Passengers.

Quite number of the passengers on board
the ill-fated steamer Central America. were
from Nevada county, and Of these, bHt two Of
the men, r. Hutchinson and John Cumming
were among those known to be saved. The fol-
lowing are among the missing. and are suppos-
ed to have been drowned:
In. Van Hagan, of Rough & Ready. .
Al. Aston Of the firm Of Alston, Newman
Il Co., Nevada.
John Rudwrll. Grass Valley.
VIM. Probert, Grass Valley.
Henry Dsnenberg, Grass Valley,
John Leach Grass Valley.
Mr.. Low, q civil engineer.
II. Stinchfed.
J. Chapman.
Albert F. Crowsll, Grass Valley.
Mr.. Van Hagan has resided for seme years In
Rough d Ready, and had started on visit to
the East. He was accompanied by his wife and
child, who were saved on board the Marine
His parents and brothers reside in this place,
and as no positive Information has been receiv-
ed Of bis death, they still cling to the hope that
he might have been picked up by one Of the un-
known vessels, said 10 have been in sight on the
morning after the disaster.
Mr. Aston was also an old resident Of the
county. and for year or two has resided in
Nevada. He was undoubtedly the "Austin, ["
mentioned in the New York Tribune, that was
crushed between the steamer aud boat, as he
was lowering himself from the vessel by rope.
He was formerly, webelieye, from Georgia, and
has two brothers at Alpha
Mr. Rudwell was accompanied by his wife,
who was saved on the brig Marine. He was an
elderly man. and is said to have been drowned
about II o'clock on the night of the wreck.
MIR. Stinch6eld has resided in the county for
some years, aud had made considerable money
in mining He has two brothers now living at
Red Dog, and leaves a wife and FIVE children in
Evansville, Indiana. to whom he was returning
Mr. Chapman had been connected in business
with MFR. Stinchfield aud was returning with
him to the east.
Mr.. Crowell was printer, and has worked
the past two years in the Office Of the Grass VAL
ley Telegraph. He was about twenty-one years
Of age, and formerly from New Hampshire.
Messrs PrObert, Denenberg and Leach. were
residents of Grass Valley. Mr.. Leach has
family in Stockbridge. Mass, and it is said has
two sous now in Grass Valley. We have not
been able to learn anything in regard to Mr..
Low further than that be was from Nevada.
Probably many more OF the lost passengers
were from this county. The steamer Sonora
sailed on the goth Of August. when mining OPP
eratiOns were dull and a great number of mi
ners were returning at that time to the eastern
States.
1t Is possible that some Of the missing passen-
gers may have been saved, but the chances are
that they all sleep in watery grave.
