A DREARY VoYAGE.-It is remarkable
fact that the three survivors of the Central
america, who arrived at New York some
time since, had drifted on their frail support
nearly SIR hundred miles from the spot where
the steamer had sunk, before they were
picked up-a dreary voyage-the terrors
Of which, with protracted and agonizing
death staring them in the face, no one but
themselves can realize. 1t certainly re-
quires that a person be possessed of the most
remarkable power of endurance and forti-
tude to withstand the exposure of sorm
at sea on raft or small boat, for eight
days, without food or water.

B9r We are indebted to Messrs. BARNES
& AYERS, for full files Of State and Califor-
MIA papers, from the express packages oi
Mr.. c. Z. WILLIAMS, agent for WELLS,
FARGO & Co. The express was brought

by Capt. A. B. GovE, who came passenger
from San Francisco on the last trip of the

A New ERA-A brass band has recently
been organized in Olympia, and is at present
taking lessons from Mr.. JOSEPH WRIGHT, Of
Vancouver, in this Territory. Under the
instructions of Mr.. W., the band is said to
be improving at swimming rate. There
are nine members of the association. The
instruments, ten in number, are all of brass
of the Saxhorn make, and we're recently
purchased at San Francisco

R0- We trust no patriotic citizens, says
the San Francisco Herald, of Nov. 18th,
will hereafter sell arms or munitions Of war
to the Mormons. The people of Utah arc
now in open rebellion against the authority
of the United States, and it amounts to
nothing short of treason to supply them
with material for resistance. We presume
the officer in command Of the Pacific De-
partment win deem it his duty to adopt
immediate measures TO prevent tho trans
mission Of munitions Of war from California,
TO Deseret. The supply Of arms and am-
muntion is from this city and can be east
ly stopped.

HEAVY SHIPMENT OF CON. We learn
from the San Francisco papers, that on the

shipped from that city for New York on
the John L. Stevens. With one exception
this is the largest shipment Of gold ever
made at one time from the golden State.
In 1858, the Panama had on board, for the
Atlantic, $2,9OO,OOO.
"The enormous sum of 50, 709,9 93S co."
says the Alta California Of Nov. 2lst., "is
