AM Erroneous lmpression.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-A gentleman
from New York who arrived in the city
this morning says there is an impression
among persons in that city that the
bulletins issued regarding the Presi-
dents condition arc more or
less colored for the purpose
of allaying public apprehension.
He also says many persons incline to the
opinion that the original kilograms sent
from time to time to Doctors Agnew
and Hamilton, consulting physi-
clans, regarding the Presidents con-
ditiOn, are not given out for pub
LEGATION. and that the kilograms
purporting to be copies of those sent 10
the consulting physicians are prepared
for the purpose of preventing any
undue excitement, and consequently do
not give the condition of the President
as il really appears. These theories,
if they do exist, are entirely
erroneous, inasmuch as the official bull
Ietins issued are written by the physi-
clans in charge, and represent the Presi-
dents true condition Mt the time of their
issue, and the same plan is adopted with
regard to the information which is
dispatched TO the consulting
physicians, and the contents are inyaria-
bly, telegraphed To the press from the
original copies. It is not the intention
of the attending physicians to express
an opinion in the bulletins Issued but
merely to convey to the public the Presi-
dents condition from time TO time.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, July 12.-The
whaler, Thomas Hope, Captain Mil
lard, arrived this evening from the arc
tic regions. She left estraits June 21st.
The day before leaving she spoke to the
whaler progress Capt. Barker, and
from her learned that Indians near
East Cape, had found the two missing
whalers, Vigilant and Mount Mallaston.
The Indians found three corpscs only
on board the Vigilant, and from
their appearance it was evident that they
had died in the first year of their captiy-
ity in the ice. The Indians brought
away from the Vigilant some money,
glass bomb, a gun and fowling piece.
No one, dead or alive, was found on the
Mount Mallaston. The revenue cutter
Corcisica has sent a sledge party in search
of the Indians to recover the articles
named and to obtain further information.

direction, but it is understood that

milEonalres IN proportion Of one Of the

From copy Of the "New Albany
Qnd) Daily Ledger" Of Tuesday March
10Th, 1861, handed US by Col Rearden, ref.
erence is made in number of places, to
Cairo and other matters that are quite inter-
esting to read at this late day. In one
place it devotes nearly quarter Of a col
umn to description of the whari-boats and
table showing the freight tonnage from this
point of the Illinois Central railroad for the
year 1860 and for the months of January
and February In 1861. OF the wharf-boat
it says: "In regard to the new wharf-boat
of Graham, Halliday s. Co., the Cairo City
Gazette says. The new wharf-boat of Messrs.
Graham, Halliday & Co., will be delayed
in its arrival here few days longer than
was anticipated. We learn from them that it
will be ready about the middle of next
week. Here follow the dimensions of
the wharf boat. According to the account
concerning the business of the Illinois Cen
trail railroad, the receipts in freights OF the
road at this point during the year 1860,
was 200, $4,000 lbs; the money receipts
for the same was $430,7s01s.
But that the business of
the company increased rapidly
is evident from the fact that the tonnage of
freight received during the months Jan
uary and February of 1861
was 1876 ,s12,252, and the receipts for the
same was $313,339.72. But tins rate of
increase did not continue very long and
during last year, twenty years later, the
gross Tonnage received by the company at
this point WAS 32,612,500 pounds upon
which the charges were $946,000. These
figures show great reduction in freights.
The paper also contains speech made by
Senator Breckenridge, in discussing reso
luton offered in the senate by Mr. Doug
lass. He takes occasion in this speech to
criticise the first inaugural address Of Presi-
dent Lincoln, holding that If the president
carried out the views he therein expressed,
a collision between the northern and south
ern states would be inevitable. His predc-
ton proved true, as everyone knows.
