DIRECT roM GALVESTON TO SAN DiEGo.-We
suppose our readers are not generally aware
that there is now regular mail and passenger
communication twice month between Gal.
weston and San Diego on the Pacific. The
new mail contract between San Antonio and
San Diego went into operation the first of this
month. the stage leaving San Antonio the 10Th

daily by steamer for Harrisburg where also
daily connection is made by the cars on the
B. B. B. g. {: Railroad TO Richmond, and
there daily connection is made BY stages to
Columbus, thence tri.weekly TO San Antonio.

may reach San Antoniu in ample time TO take
the semi-inonthlv mail stage to San Diego.

We learn from Capt. Ross, who has JUS,
received information from the Brazo, Agency,
dated Aug. 9Th, that few nights previous,
about 40 head Of horses were stolen from the
Reserve Indians. A party had started in pur.
suit OF the thieves, and it was supposed that
the thieves We're white men and were riding
American stock, from the fact that their hor-
ses were shod. 1t is believed that thete is an
organized band Of horse thieves extending
from the Agency into the Indian nation in
Arkansas, and perhaps into Kansas Territory
1t is to be hoped that those thieving gentry
will, ere long, meet the same fate Of their as.
sociates at San Antonio, Goliad aad Navarro.
A delegation OF Camanches had come in TO
the Upper (Camanchel Agency, for the pur-
pose of assuring the troops and the friendly

This is new feature Of mining enterprise,

own success or temper down failure. The
adventurers will move from Port Lavaca to
San Antonio; thence west to Pecos River, up
that stream several hundred miles, and thence
across to Ell Paso, through Mesilla Valley tc
Tubac. Their destination is the old Mexican

NICARAGUA LINE TO CALlfoRNIA.-Th New
York Times states upon pretty good authority
that the steamers Washington and Herman
were sold on Tuesday TO party OF gentlemen
represented by Capt. Randall, formerly the
well known commander of the opposition line
of steamers on the Pacific side several years
ago, and that they are to be fitted out forth.
with to go round to the Pacific, to run in cor.
nection with line Of steamers on the Nicara-
qua toute. It is also stated that arrangements
are pretty nearly completed by Mr. L, Whire
for steamers TO run on this side from New
York to Greytown. A steamer Of light draf,
fot the conveyance Of passengers across the
Lake tNicaraguaj is also in readiness, which
will be sent up the San Juan river between the
middle and last Of August atwhlch time The
river will be sufficiently high to admit of her
passdse into the lake without difficulty The
Washington will peobably depart for her voy-
age around Cape Horn in ten days: and, in
for!y.fve days thereafter, the first Of the pas,
senger steamers for Greytown will leave New
Yo'k with California passengers by the new
route. If nothing occurs to interfere with ar
rangements now far advanced, it is contem.
plated to have the new line in full operation
by the lst of October. 1t is understood that
great dependence is placed upon the large in.
crease in travel occasioned by the Frazer river
discoveries for the support of the contemplated

"P. S. am sorry to inform you that par

DEArH OF Mn. BUcHARD MILLER.-We re.
pret 10 learn by Telegraph to-day, that Mr.
Buchard Miller, an old citizen of Houston, has
died after sickness Of near two weeks. Mr..
Miller is well known as the partner Of Col.
Henry Fisher, in the settlement of what is
known as Fisher and Miller's Colony, in which
they have been contending with many diff
culties for years past.
Mr.. Miler's sickness seems 10 have been
caused by exposure to the hot sun while can
vassing the county, previous to the late cleo
ton; and the Telegraph says the physicians
of Houston are divided in opinion as to wheth-
er this was case of yellow fever. Mr. Nj.
had resided in Houston for about twenty years
and during all the yellow fever epidemics, but
had never taken this disease. We understand
that some Of the oldest physicians pronounce
his case of yellow fever. Ii this IS the case,
the Telegraph says that long residence and
exposure to the disease, is no protection with
out having it. It also proves that 1t must
have originated in Houston.-Ne,cs. :

WaItZing with q Dead Woman.

Prince C. was known at London as at
Paris as the first waltzer in the world. He
waltzed for an hour with no extra beating
Of the heart; he wearied every lady and ex.
hausted evrey orchestra. One evening at AL
macks young English lady of much beauty
wished to waltz with him, and asked him to
engage her. She was the daughter of a
distinguished nobleman, who had played ar
important part in East Indian affairs. The
prince waltzed with her; soon the other waltz
ers stopped, the prince and Arabella alone
continued. 1t seemed as if he were inspired
while waltzing; he kept on dancing without
cessation Of speed, and the orchestra tried in
vain to follow him. The goung girl, her
head upon his shoulder, seemed in ecstacy.-
People were frightened at her palor and
the convulsive movements of her eyes, but
were reassured by hearing her, as ii intoxi-
Gated with joy. murmur "keep "on Quicker
quicker still r. Soon she spoke no more.
The prince still waltzed, whirling his part
ner with his robust form as though she were
but gauze scarf. At last the wearied mu-
sicians ceased. The prince stopped, bowed
to his partner, and moved to leaved her.
She fell to the earth, dead. For quarter
of an hour the prince had waltzed with a
corpse. His grief was great Thenceforth all

WASHINGTON, June %.
Sufficient intelligence has been received to
leave no doubt that Capt. Marcy's command
has reached Camp Scott in safety. 1t was
the intention of Gov. Cumming when last
heard from to proceed at once to open trade
with the valley. Many of the Mornons
were understood to own more cattle than
they were desirous of carrying away, and of
which they were anxious to dispose. Of the
safety and general welfare of the troops at
Camp Scott and elsewhere between that fort
and the U. S. may be reckoncd with SAFETY
and confidence. The Mormon troops had
been entirely withdrawn from the approaches
to Salt Lake, though the people threatened
to return if the army advanced before they
secured the wheat harvest. Governor Cum
ming says that it may be regarded as safe for
emigrants from the U. S. to proceed to Cali
fornia VIA Salt Lake, the road being entirely
open. The Attorney General and Secretary
OF the Treasury, and P. NJ. General, contem-
plated leaving ior Philadelphia early next
week on business connected with the Post
Office, Custom House, and court accommo-
dations in that city.
Two of the war sloops recently authorized
by Congress, are to be constructed at the
Philadelphia navy yard. The steamer Full
ton has been ordered home on account of
sickness on board.

ALBANY, June 23.
About o'clock this afternoon destruct-
i've fire broke out in the lumber yard of
Messrs. Bullock & Many, on Water and Or
ange streets.
The fire took from the blacksmith shop on
the south corner of the yard, and high wind
prevailing from the South, the flames spread
northward with great rapidlty. Adjoining,
the lumber yard was Trcadwell's furniture
factory, Suthers extensive coal yard, and the
freight depot of the Central Railroad. The
efforts of the Chief Engineer were directed to
the saving Of the property, and to prevent
the spread of the flames beyond the lumber
yard but the heat was so intense as to render
it almost impossible for the fremen to work
the engines. The greatest exertIons, how
ever, are being used to prevent the fire from
spreading, but up to the present $4,000
worth of property has been destroyed, with
4 or dwellings.
LATER-9. 80 P. M.-The fire is still rag
ing. II is now certain that the fire can be re-
strlcted to the limits of the Lumber district.
The flames have been driven from the out
skirts. The firemen will be on the ground
all night, as the fire still RACES fercely with
the lumber piles. Loss probably underrated.
Insurance on all property destroyed not over
$l50,000.
