Reports from COrea-The Crew of the Gem
eral Sherman Said to Have Been Be-
headed-Captain Febiger's Mission.
shanghai, June via LONDON, July %, 1868.
1t is reported in this city to-day that Captain
Febiger Of the United States navy, ascertained
during his recent cruise In the Shenandoah on the
coast OF Corea that the crew of the American bark
General Sherman had been beheaded by the natives
at the place where they landed.
Americans express the opinion that Captain
Febiger discharged his duty with jealous care,
but that his search was not so efficient as it
might have been account of the draught of water
of the Shenandoah being much too great to permit
him to explore the Corean coast and rivers the best
existent charts Of which are almost useless for pre-
sent purposes.
Should the assertion of the positive execution Of
all or any OF the crew Of the Sherman prove true il
Will likely lead to active reprsals on the part of the
authorities in Washington through the officers in
command OF the Asiatic squadron, as the Rev. Mr..
Thomas who had a knowledge Of the Corean Ian
guage and few other citizens of note were on the
vessel at the time Of the disaster as passengers from
China proper.
The Coreans assert that they merely repealed some
years since forcble visit of foreign vessel-nag
unknown-by force, and that her were killed by
an explosion and fire during the fight
