SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2.
An unsuccessful attempt was made to pump
out the ship Aquilla yesterday. Fears are en-
tertained that it will be impossible for the
divers to make her light enough for the pumps
TO free her. In case of failure on the next
trial, tile underwriters will advertise for pro-
posals to raise her on some plan to be proposed.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3.

Judge Hoffman yesterday, found $4,000
damages against Capt. Pearson, in favor of
7. Doane. The latter was exiled by the vigil
lance committee in 1855, and Capt Pearson
subsequently forced him TO leave the steamer
after coming OH Board at Acapulco, design.
ing TO return to this city.
Had he succeeded in returning he would
i. undoubtedly have been hung, as the Vigilance
Committee was still in session, and he was
banished to return on pain of death. The case
VIII be appealed, on the ground of excessive
damages.

- NEW lORk, Dec. d.
The Worlds special Washington dispatch
says:
/" 1t is understood that the government has
advices of Longstreet's retreat toward Bristol,
Tenn, from which place there is railway com
munication to Richmond. 1t is ce4tain that
the siege of Knoxville has been raised, and
the line OF retreat named is the only one open
TO the rebels.
Cumberland Gap, Nor. 30.-All our availa-
bic forces left the Gap to-day, under the direc-
tion OF Maj. Gen. Foster, with view to inter-
cept Longstreet in his retreat TO Virginia.
Gen. Burnside is closely pushing the enemy's
rear. Decisive results are anticipated.
Later, 8 O'Clock p. M-An official courier
has just arrived here from Knoxville. The
rebels succeeded in throwing pontoon across
the river Oil Sunday. but were prevented from
crossing by our batteries commanding that
point. This brought on general engag cement,
resulting in the rout of the enemy. There is
no doubt that Longstreet is in tight place,
aud may be headed off by Gen. Foster. Gen
Granger must have reached Knoxville by this
time. Longstreet must march one hundred
and thirty miles before he can be supplied by
railroad.
