..orv Of Humboldt county is in press, the Times
rs and will soon appear. Many citizens OF
r-ioitv county we're among the early settlers at
nav; therefore we give an extract from the
,rl. which has been furnished the Times. The
thor saws the Laura Virginia anchored off the
FL auth Of Eel river, which was at that time sup
oso1 10 be the Trinity, the mouth of which stream
foy were in search of:
81 At the mouth of the river they found the Gen.
4 orcon at anchor, aud two of her boats proceed
n "a toward the mouth of the river; the boats en-
I'd the river in safety the sight of which
sorsed considerable excitement on board, and
H. company determined to launch boat and
snd it in after them. A boats crew volunteered
IN tAe service, they consisted of Albert Swain
Lilo had some experience as q seaman, and
rbo had charge of the boat l.. NJ Burson, n.
Dppcru,-Bell and another man whose name
IA unknown; the boat proceeded toward the en-
trance of the river, but when on the bar, heavy
H. broke in the stern sheets of the boat and cap
a ed her, and her crew washed from her. One
"A the crew, whose name is unknown, sunk i'm
n n rdiately; the others swan to the boat and held
3 "a her kcel fortunately it was ebb tide, and the
fruent of the river drilted the boat, with its
arythng but merry crew, out to sea, and from
M breakers, so that they were taken OIL the boat
hv another boats crew, that came from the YES
a, where the capsizing of the boat was distinct
N seen from the masthead. This little expert
rent resulted in the loss of one man, and the
Balance runninga great risk of their lives, having
Been several times knocked from their hold on
Ifc bottom of the boat 10y the breakers. When
|then on board they were nearly perishng from
Mold having been in the cold water of the river
IA about an hour.
% After getting the boats aboard, the vessel
aeain headed towards Trinidad and arrived there
be next day.

anong the first settlers at the Bay. Frank was

The Gen. Morgan sailed from San Francisco on

ANERCAN CoHRUPrIoN.-- The London Times, in
r~icwing the developments of the late Sherman
Wcstigating Committee in Congress, says that
iHngland, it would be utterly impossible to find
aB such cOrruptions of system as have thus been
e1osed in America. The Philadelphia Press,
ann quoting the language of the Times, remarks
aHollows:
will thus be seen that the cOrruptions of the
fe eral Government, exposed by the late report,
an not only injurious to the cause of liberty in
Ak country, but that they have also furnished
aHuments to the enemies of political reform in
GLAND, which are industriously used to prevent
W extension of political privileges to the down
uplden people of that country.
