TIE MURDER ON BOARD THE CoLUMBIA.-The
Crescent City Herald gives the following par
ticulars of the murder on board the steamer
Columbia, tie truth of which is vouched for by
several of the passengers:
"Thc Columbia, on her up trip, on which she
left San Francisco on the 18TH instant, shipped
as one Of her crew a man named Patrick Done
gan, whom she took from the hospital. where
he had been recovering from q broken leg,
caused by falling into the hold of a vessel. 1t
was known when he shipped that he was not
in health, and he was taken with the understand
ing that he was not to be required TO do hard
labor. On the 18th, this man was choked and
beaten by order of the first mate. for what
cause we did not learn. On the 18th. he was
ordered aloft TO slush down the fore gaff, and
declined to 60 on the ground that he was sick,
and not able to perform snch work, repeating
the understanding on which he shipped. that he
was not able to perform laborious duty, and
showing his leg as proof Of his statement of ina
bility. For this he was whipped, and lashed
with his arms and feet extended in the rigging
where he was kept one hour by the watch
When released he was go exhausted as to be
scarcely able to stand. Soon after he wa.
forced aloft to do the slushng spoken Of HI
went up, but had been there but a short tint
when his strength failed him, and he fell heat
first to the deck, striking the skylight, breaking
the glass, which fell below and cut the wife anf
children of Mr.. A. B. Spooner, a passenger tc
this place. He breathed few minutes, but
never spoke again."
