The Loss of the Saginaw.

The loss of the United States steamer
Saginaw, in the Pacific ocean, and the un-
certain fate of her officers and crew Oh q
desert island, has caused universal sad
ness. For some weeks, we are assured,
the naval authorities have felt uneasy as to
the whereabouts of the vessel, as she had
been ordered to San Francisco early in
November, but did not put in an appear
ance. Two weeks ago it was regarded as
almost certain at the Navy Department
that she had met with some accident, and
steps were taken to ascertain the truth
Admiral Winslow, at San Francisco, acting
under instructions from Washington, ef-
fected an arrangement whereby one of the
steamers belonging to the Pacific Hail
Steamship line, running between San
Francisco and Japan, was to take supply
of provisions and deviate from her regular
course so much as to go to the Midway
Islands and endeavor to learn what had
become of the Saginaw, and render her
succor if needed, and if within a reason
able distance. The steamer sailed from
San Francisco more than a week ago, and
has before this reached the place where
the Saginaw was wrecked, and been able,
no doubt, to aid the shipwrecked crew in
case any should be found alive. The
Saginaw was ordered to San Francisco
preparatory to going to the Isthmus of
Darien, to aid in the survey for the ship
canal. It is now very probable that Com
mander Selfridge will not be able to com
plete the survey during the present season,
as he can do nothing until a vessel arrives
on the Pacific side, where the survey is to
begin.

The German Democratic journals are
making some pungert and wholesome
comments upon recent events in Georgia.
The New York Stats Zeitung explains
the matter thus:
The host of thieves and scoundrels who
were imported from the North. and who,
assisted by Federal bayonets, usurped
every power in the State, had become SO
overbearing and audacious, and the indi-
vidual rapacity of these bandits had
created SO many animosities among
themselves, that the break up had
become unavoidable. The meaE-
ures adopted in the reconstruction of
Georgia, moreover, were even devoid of
any shadow of principle or justice. Every
one in the State and at Washington had
become convinced that by the reconstruc-
ton Of Georgia it was only intended to put
the public treasury and the railroads un-
der the control of the Radical politicians,
and even q number of negroes, less stupid
than the New England Puritan tract mer-
chants, understood the condition of this
State and determined to deliver it from
that voracious host of grasshoppers.
