The Loss of the Central America.
The following is, an extract from u
letter from an officer of the army sta
toned in. California, dated November 3,
1851. The writer went out with a de-
tachmcnt of recruits in April last:
You can scarcely imagine the sensa-
ton which tie loss of the Central liner
icd produced here. Every Californian,
except the few that came here overland,
has had personal experience of the
w~rctchcdly bad management OF the
steamers on tho Atlantic side. Every
one OF them has had ample experience
of the diet and starvation system car
ricd out on the boats, and of the inso-
lcnce of their officers, excepting only
in that one particular, the captains.-
The news of the accident was not the
cause of any surprise. ~.

of Judging of the management of the
Itinois than mts st persons have in com

t. go frequently to t~hcfor&ard andlow-
or portions of the ship to look aft r the
recruits, and certainly l was very G:orci-
by impress. cd with the idea that there
was NO such thing as good order or dis
ciplinc known among the crew. | new
or saw one of the ships officers below
decks; and, on ondo occasion, when there
was every appearance of heavy wealth
and when the sea was getting un-
comfortably rough. l found more than
of the lower deck ports open,
and this after dark. l, of course, re-
PORTED it to the captain, and had the
satisfaction of hearing the officer of the
WATCH say that he did not know who
hid charge Of the lower deck, but he
supposed the boatswain or some one
else had. r.g
i have heard that the captains of the
line have, no control whatever over the
engineers or firrmen, ever to make or
reduce steam, and that the steward, by
order Of the company, is the exclusive
master of the table on board ship, that
the captain cannot order a potato more

The captains make an inspection every
morning of every portion of the ships,
even to the state-rooms and coal-bunk-
ers: and on the GotTcn Cute, and l
suppose it is so on all. the officer of the
