TERRIFIC SToRM-Gredt Sacrifice Of Prop
eYtv-The San Francisco Alta California Of the
18th ult. gives the following account OF the
gale which compelled the steamer Uncle Sam
to put back to that port after having thrown
overheard large amount of freight:
"The steamer Uncle Sam returned to port
Yesterday morning, at six o'clock having been
driven back by terrific storm, which placed
the vessel in great danger, and compelled the
sacrifice of a large amount of property.
The Uncle Sam left our harbor at o'clock
Yesterday morning, in the face of strong head
wind, which continued to increase in strength
till ten o'clock at night, when it had become so
terrific, and the sea ran so high, that became
evident the steamer could not live in it with
out being relieved of the large amount of
freight which encumbered her upper decks,
and rendered her top heavy.
Accordingly orders were given that all hands
should go to work throwing overheard every
thing on the upper decks, and as there were
five hundred men on board, a busy scene was
presented, though not all would work. Some
were listless and Indifferent; others were pray
ing, some swearing, and some said it was of no
use to do anything-the vessel must founder
their lives were not worth two cents apiece.
The sea was running mountains high, and
wave after wave broke over her to the great
peril of all on deck. OF course, all the men
were as wet as they could be, and this in a
fierce, cold wind, which driving through their
soaked garments made many think it the cold
est weather they had ever felt
There were about 46 tons of barley on the
upper deck, and that was soon tossed over
board. The packsaddles and apdrejoiS for per-
haps 400 mules followed. Then went large
number of barrels of provisions. Then
went 1900 sacks of coal which was in the
forecastle, and weighed down the bow of the
boat, so that the seas swept in and threatened
to put out the fires.
There were 200 mules on the upper deck,
but it would have required five or six men to
get each animal overheard, and in case of a
lurch, all these men would have been in dan
ger of going over too; so only few-not
more than half dozen-of the mules were
thrown over But nothing else was spared ;
spars, marine tackle-even the valuable
trunks and carpet bags of the officers and
passengers were all sacrificed. The value Of
the property thrown overload is not known,
but it is supposed by some persons on board
to amount, perhaps, to $4,000. There is a
possibility that some lives were lost by the
seas which repeatedly swept over the vessel
At half past eleven all the loose stuff on the
upper decks had been cleared off, and the YES
sci moved easier and at midnight the wind
slackened. The captain then turned the
steamer about and made for port where she
arrived, this morning, as already stated.

10 A party of gold-seekers are to leave
Springfield on the 18th inst, for Pixies Peak,
Kansas. The emigration thither, from all parts
of the country, is represented to be very large.
We fear great many of the emigrants will be
disappointed. There is gold there, but its ex-
tent, and the amount that man may gather,
are extremely uncertain problems.

FEMALE CLERKs.-A large number of dry
goods merchants in Buffalo, have recently sub
stituted female clerks for those of the masculine
gender. This is an experiment that is worthy
of trial elsewhere; and there are good reasons
for believing that it would be attended with
success. Besides, every new avenue that can
be opened to the labor of females, lessons the
probability of their falling into those dangers
to which the sex is liable, especially in the
great cities

dead, by passenger leaving the station. She

$4,000 ($25,000), G3,500 ($l7 500 of which
he has lost by land specuations in Minnesota,
and in his family. Indeed, his fortune has
been severe, as his appearance indicates, and
the story of his misfortunos elicits much sym
pathy. He is evidently man of culture, and
has seen much of society and the world, and
certainly had many varied and bitter expe-
