Correspondence Of the Picsyune
STEAMER SucBrL, Dec. l9, 1853.
The news by this mail il Of much more gratifying
character than sny have hitherto transmitted. 10
the first place the overland transit has been made IN
easoIable tme ard without acoideLt or dlfiiculty
whatever. The passengers by the Oregon 100 in
rumber were all safely landed at Ventosa early on
Thursday morning. the lGth some of them the night
before Five co.ches and plenty of horses and mules
were in waiting and all pushed on in ine style and
with high hopes. Those who got the earliest start
reached the Amooya that night the rest staid at the
Con andsc lilo station miles from San Geronimo The
next night however they were altogether at Sander
sons his sde the Ssrsbla, ard the next Saturday
safe and sound on board the Suchi That ID good ra-
yelirg and shows what the roue is capable OF, with
horses aud mules alone. No one complains; on the
contrary all are III good spirits, and speak IN the most
glowing terms of their mountain ride.
Az 10 the stages, they did excellent service. One
Of them. indeed came clear through TO Sanderson's
tlnry-thre miles from Suchl, with the women and
children-all save one, Mrs. Mott who scorned that
way Of crossing the Isthnus In good health, and
attended by her husband COL Mot, this spirited lady
made the eLtre transit on horseb.ck, and led tne
party at that. .,
The whole number who msde the transit this trip
was llS but twelve OF these are from the Drlg Mbi'
anna, which arrived a. Ventosa on the 10Th. The
Mariana brought out sixty passengers in all but most
OF them were emgrant setters for the Isthmus Ia
borers on the Transit route.
The passage on the ether side, like all which pre-
ceded it. was not speedy could be desired hear,
indeed great complaint among the passengers about
the Golden Gate, which made but eight to ten knots
an hour on an average Leaving San Francisco at
neon on the 9th the did not srrve at Acapulco till the
morning Of the lith-abOut eight daye In the opinion
Of most with whom conversed, the voyage might be
made in lees thar seven.
The Oregon pot started from Acapulco about noon
on the 4th ard reached Venosa at 10 the night of
the 18th, making the passage IN 81 hours. Ihat
makes niIe and half days In all from San Francisco
to the Isthmus The overland transit took n.t three
DAYS 36 riding bouIs) which is twelve and halt days
To the head waters Of the Atlantic slope. Had the
Coazacoacos been clear of snags, as we hope It soon
will be- the Suchi might have been off the same night
the passengers arrived the 18th, so that the Quaker
City oould have sailed early this morning, with fair
chsnce of being in NewOreans on the evening OF the
2lft with passengers and mails, in hteen days from
San Francisco. As it is, though by the delay OF one
ppbt on the river she will not get of TIL this after
noon we think here she will be in the Crescent City
in less than sixteen daye. Had there been no delay
on the other side however, and none al suomi, tne
rasssge from San Francisco might have been made ID
IA days perhaps Is, Just as we'll
All the passengers in excellent condition and
charmed with the route the opening OF which has ere
sted great excitement in California The rush To the
office for tickets this trip was beyond all precedent
-Four burdred might have be sold Just we'll the
one hundred to which the sgeLt at San Francisco very
properly lin ted bimsef. The great saving of time
argues strongly with our compauiots OF the Golden
State hear of one, more than usually fact man,
who snapped off a cabin passage via Panama for =
steerage passage via Tehaantepec giving 30 to boot
There great desire 70 send specie by this trip;
but the agent San Fanceo bad orders to receive
il. understand it was transmitted by last msil,
So suppose may expect something valuable in the
course of another month.
Iregret here to add that DR.. Martin, purser OF the
steamship Oregon is missing and under circumstances
which make il feared that something serious has be-
fallen him. The last Of hio be was gong ashore
at Acapulco. That was two days before the Oregon
sailed and though durirg that time every possible
search was made, nothing could be heard Of him 1t
is believed by many that ne was decoyed of and
robbed. He had al the time about 800 on his per-
sop or rather that amount appears 10 be missing from
the tafe. DIR. Martin was, understand, from Bal
tmore where be has large circle Of friends residing
