SAN Francisco, June 26.-By the arrival
Of the mail steamer Sacramento, we learn
that the steamship Golden Rule, running on
the line from New York to Nicaragua, was
wrecked on the morning Of the 30th Of May,
on Roncador Reef, about s. miles from the
Island of Old Providence. The steamer was
bound from New York TO Greytown, Nicara.
qua, and had on board about 800 passengers
for San Francisco, besides a full crew, all OF
whom were saved and landed on the Island.
Passengers only saved what clothing they
had on. Provisions and bedding were landed
from the wreck. Tents were built from sails.
John NJ. Rogers, purser, reached Aspin-
wall on the 9th Of June, being nine days at
sea in an open boat.
The United States steamers Huntwell and
State of Georgia left Aspinwall for the wreck,
and returned on the 18th Of June with all the
passengers. When these steamers left the
Island the Golden Rule was fast going to
pieces, and wreckers we're at work. The
Golden Rules passengers crossed the Is
thmuS, June 18th, and embarked on board
the America the same day. The America
left Panama, June 18th, at l0P N.
Capt. Raymond, agent Of Nicaragua Tran
sit Co., in this city, has received letter
from Capt. Merry, dated Panama, June 18th,
in which he states that the America would
leave for San Francisco that night at IL
o'clock, with the New York passengers who
came BY the Golden Rule. All hands and
baggage had been saved, and wreckers were
at work gett ng out what could be got at oil
heavy baggage.
Victor Smith was among the passengers
By the Golden Rule, and it is probable that a
consignment Of greenbacks was On board, but
we have no definite information on the suo-
ject and cannot tell whether they were lost or
otherwise, il on board.
Passengers who went down by the America
were still at Panama awaiting the arrival OF
be able to send them to New York. He had
endeayored to engage an English steamer to
carry those passengers to New York, but
without success.
The Huntsville, United States war steamer,
was waiting in Aspinwsll to receive on board
General Dan. E. Sickles and staff, and could
not, therefore, assist in carrying passengers,
as had been suggested.
The America would put into San Juan del
Sur for coal, and would not, therefore, reach
here before the I'd Of July.
The Precios Corrientes, Of Panama, says {:
Captain Denis, Of the Golden Rule, had been
celebrating his birthday aud was intoxicated
at the time Of the wreck. When urged to
leave his cabin and put the vessel on her
right course, he had cyprian with him and
refused to come out, saying the ship was all
right. and in half an hour she struck. His
conduct, after the wreck, is stigInatized as
brutal. The officers Of the Huntsville and
State Of Georgia, also those Of the America,
and the residents Of ASpinwall aud Panama,
are heartily commended for their exertions
in behalf Of the sufferers from the wreck.
There is no Eastern news.
The Golden Rule was insured for $780,
900. Victor Smith had charge Of $2,0JO, 900
of preenbacks, which were lost.
The Mail Company's steamer Colorado is
at Panama.
A mutiny occurred on the Peruvian war
steamer Sachaca in the harbor of Panama, to
release Gen. Costilla, held as a political
prisoner on board the brig Guisse. The officer
of the deck was killed, and two others seri-
ously wounded, and several shots were fired
at the brig. But the mutineerS surrendered
when the brig was hauled under the guns Of
the Cyane.
An attempt was made to destroy the Span
ish ram Neumancia by torpedo, in the port
Of Callao. Two American shipwrights are
concerned in the plot.
A telegram received in England from
Pointe de Gale, Island Of Ceylon, dated
May LIST, states that a Confederate cruiser
was to sail from that port in a few days. This
is no doubt the Shenandoah, as BY last ad-
vices from Australia that vessel was of Port
Adelaide on the 18th Of March, showing she
had taken a western direction from Mel
bourne.
