The serious apprehensions felt a
few days ago for the safety of the
steamship Dakota were happily dis
PEELED Thursday morning by tele-
gram from Astoria, of her return to
San Elancisco in consequence of
breaking the shaft Of her starboard
wheel, while about 800 miles out
from port. The news was brought
to Astoria by the Oregon. Tele-
graphic communication having been
suspended several days after the
steamer was due at Victoria, tho
feeling became general that some
serious disaster had befallen her, and
tugs were sent out from that place
and the Revenue Cutter Cor,Din from
Port Townsend, to search for the
missing vessel. They returned, of
course, without tidings, and the only
hope left was that she had returned
to San Francisco, which proved to
be tho case. The Dakota had on
board 80 passengers and 400 tons of
freight for Victoria and the Sound.
