safety of the Missing Steamer.

The announcement on Sunday by telegraph,
that the Cortez had arrived passengers all safe
caused universal gladness. Since that time
the telegraph has been out of order and the only
account of the cause of delay which has reached
us is condensed from the Alta California, as rela-
ted by one of the passengers.
The North Star left New York October goth,
and on the morning of the 25th ran upon a coral
reef near the French Keys. The boat ran high
mp on the rocks and stuck fast. The land was
about 200 yards distant and at day-break the
passengers were sent OF in small boats, and $50
tons of coal thrown overheard. The steamer
remained on the rocks for six days; on the sew
enth she got off by the united aid of passengers,
anchors, chains, windlasses and steam. BY the
next morning the passengers were all on board,
and the ship again put to sea.
Tie passengers on shore had life their own.
There were COO of them, and 250 marines belong
ing TO the United States steamer Saranac but
most of the marines remained on the North Star.
These proved to be serviceabe in many wavs

for she was poorly provided with sailors, there
being only four on board 1t was the marines
again that furnished tents for the passengers and
enabled them to live with some degree of comfort
on the Key. The island is about ten miles in di-
ameter, low. sandy, almost bare of vegetation.
with n few trees and no inhabitants or beautiful
scenery. The place, therefore, did not offer much
to interest its unwilling visitors and they were
not in a mood to enjoy their sojourn, for they
were in apprehension about the time and manner
OF their escape from the Key, and even about the
necessaries Of life for their stock of provisions
and water were short. A committee of passen-
gers was appointed to superintend the distribu-
tion of these articles, and they wore bits Of red
calico rags pinned on their coats TO designate
their authority. The passengers came up in a
string to get their victuals and drink, and all
passed in very orderly manner Water was
scarce. The steamer engine condensed some
fresh water from the sea- and a little was found
in the holes on the island. All this was carefully
saved-that found on the island being brought
in bottles to the camp. As it was, the passengers
had barely water enough to save them from snI
fering. aud another day would have suhjecKA
them to a severe trial.
The steamer spent day in going To Fortune
Island, where water obtained. Three days
were spent in going to Kingston for coal, and
thence to Aspinwall without difficulty.
The steamer leaked freely after the accident,
and her bottom is undoubtedly injured, but her
frame seemed to be strong, and no signs Of weak
ness were observed while she was on the rocks"

THE HUMBOLDT MAn.-The conve vance of the
mails between this place and Humboldt Bay is
a matter which deserves immediate attention in
the proper quarter. and prompt action. The
the Post Master here to contract for the carry.
ing at the original contract price-Sl730 year.
The bid made by the California Stage Co. was
entirely too low they disposed of the contract,
and the sub-contractors were obliged to quit,
partly because the pay was not sufficient and be-
cause the money was not ready when they had
earned it.
Mr.. Winslett has commenced carrying the mail,
hoping that soon as proper representa-
tions of the necessity of keeping the route open
can be made to Department, they will contract
for carrying it at living price. The actual eX-
pense of running this route, for each day in the
year is over s., or $50 a month The expenses
per wear. thus reach 81 ,sO0-S70 more than the
contract price. There is not a verse route in
the State. The distance is 100 miles, crossing two
snow mountains. and at this season four rivers to
swim-Redwood, South Fork Trinity, North Fork
Mad River and Mad River. The mail carried
over the route is the only one of any regularity
on which the people of Humboldt, Klamath and
Del NOrte counties depend, and also great ben
eft to a portion of the people OF this county.
We hope the attention Of Hon. John G. Burch
will be called to the matter. and that Senator
Ryan, on the part of Humboldt county, will as
sist in properly representing the matter to the
Post Office Department.

SOUTHERN OPINIoN.-In referring to the Har-
pers Ferry affair, the Savannah (Ga.) RpuJiican
says:
The more we think of the unparalleled affair,
the further we become bewildered and lost in
amazement Their career was short but terri
bic one. Many valuable lives we are told have
been sacriced-a circumstance truly to be de-
plored. Like the ncighhoring population, we go
in for a summary vengeance. a terrible exam
pie should be made, that will stand out as bea-
con light in all time to come.
The more we think of it, the more we are of
opinion that more terrible example would be
afforded if Brown and his deluded followers
should receive death at the instance of a legal
and just tribunal. Summary vengeance sounds
badly in connection with the reasonable attempt
Of the llarper's Ferry insurgents The crime is
the highest known and recognized in the Amer-
can conederacy--deathm must follow. The lesson
will he mnch more terrible coming from and
sanctioned hy the law of the land.

IMPORTANT DECIsloN--In the case of BOggs VS..
the Mcrced Mining Company, the Supreme Court
Of this State has rendered decision adverse to
the defendants. 1t was an action in ejectment,
the plaintiff claiming the land ana the uses
thereof under the Fremont patent. The opinion
is elaborate. and though the Court relrained to
decide that the minerals belonged to the State or
nation--reserving that point until the question
arises before a full bcnch-the tendency is that
the Court will fully decide that patent to min
eral lands vests the title to the minerals in the
owner.
