We had 100000 men organized, we would

The Continental, from Guaymas, Mazat-
Ian and La Paz, arrived this evening with
1O2 passengers. From passengers by the
Continental we learn the following facts,
or news, about the plundcring of Quay
mas by Viscayno, in command of the
steamer Forwara, by order of Placida
Vega. The merchants of Mazatlan united
with the American Consul, Sissou, in a
request to the commander of the United
States war steamer Mohican to pursue the
.For,oard and capture or destroy her. The
Aohican followed her to the mouth of the
river Teacapan, near San Bias, and there
found she had gone up the river, with the
plumber Of Guaymas, to deliver it to Vega.
1t was expected they would find her four
As men started after her, but found that
she had gone on up the river, and it was
not until they had assembled forty miles
that she was discovered, at midnight A
small boat was putting off from the For
scard when the Mohicans boat hailed her
Those on board the Formard Immediately
opened FIRE on the JfoAicans boats, killing
the coxswain of the first boat, shooting
Ensign Wainwright through the breast,
and wounaing five marines. The boats
returned the fire with howitzer, boarded
the Foncard captured six men on board,
al Americans, and after breaking her en-
gines to pieces, set her on fire and burned
her to tho waters edge. Wainwright
died from his wounds The body was
brought up on the Continental. The
prisoners were delivered to the Mexican
authorities for trial. Capt. Smith, of the
ForUard, who had been previously captured
by the Mcxicans, is at Mazatlan on bail.
The other prisoners were sent to Guaymas
for trial, as the Courts of Mazatan, it is
said, have no authority to try them for an
offensc committed in Sonora. DR.. Giles
pic, U. 8. NJ, came up on the Continental
with three Of the wounded marines from
the Mohicas. The arms, money aud other
articles stolen by Vcayno at Guaymas had
been landed and delivered to Vega, who,
it was rumorcd, was ready to advance on
Masatlan, where preparations have been
made to receive him. The Forward was
fitted out here, having been bought. as is
reported, by two prominent native Cali
fornians, one residing in Solano, tho other
10 Santa Clara county She was re6tted
BY Samson, Of this city, and cleared by
Schliedcn, ostensibly for the Gulf oyster
trade. All these parties as friends Of
Vega. Two hundred tons of coal recently
left here, as is supposed, for her.
