San Francisco Alta, July 30th: The
steamer Dora, arrived in this port yesterday
afternoon. From conversation with Nr.
Anderson, mate of the Dora, it was learned
that the search for the Jeannette has SO far
been unsuccessful. Indeed, little hope Of ever
seeing her or any of her crew is now enter
tanned, as the unusual rgor Of the past Win
ter has far surpassed the average severity
even of that inhospitable cline, and nothing
has yet been heard of her. The Thomas Cor
win, after penetrating considerable distance
into the Arctic regions, was compelled to put
back to St. Michaels, owing t" a breakage IN
the ice, which disabled her steering gear

than childish to keep on tantlliziRg

itable strife. We never believed that
a question of such magnitude as the
settlement ofa complicated state debt
should be entrusted to legislature
elected for only two years. Yet II
seems that the people, by a majority OF
ahiee or four to one, have voted to
leave this matter entirely to the next

ney Hazel does not love him, and
Rodney, in a well-drawn scene with

renee, about fifteen miles west of

They left at the house two grand
children, one and three years old,
About ten o'clock they saw that their
house was on arg, and it was finally
consumed, with everything they
possessed, except the clothing they
lad on, But the saddest and most
horrible fact Of the whole affair was
that those two httle children were
buFaed in the house; and after the
burning thsir charred remains were
found clasped in each other $ arms
Yet there Is one bright spot in thi!
