E. Webb, ian 1859. Her di- mensions are as follows:—Lengt 266 feet, breadth 40 feet, depth of hold 30 fect, Her draft «7 water was about 16 feet. Sho was one of the Anest boats ox the ri between Parama ond Sin Francieco, and was a favorite with the travelling pnblic. She yas launched Jannary 21, 1850, and was built for Howlond & Aspinwall, Her engines were constructed at the Novelty Works. This ship was noted for her police reguistions, and the rules in relation to fire were well deflaed, and made plain to all her crew and passongers. It was customary on this route to exercise the paseongers and crew in fire uty, and, from the meagre infermation wo hayo in relation to the causes of the fire, it must have, in ite earliest stages, defied the efforts of the uaforianate pas songers and crew, which, on ordinary occasions, y.ould have controlled the fatal elément. ‘The Golden Gate was a fast vessel, and could accommo- date about nine hundred passengers, besides n large quanti. ty of freight. She was rated at the Underwriters’ A2, and her securities against fire wore recorded “geod.” She had two indopendent fire pumps, and gufficient Luce, buckets, axes, &e, She had oscillating engines and two cyludes of eighty-five inches each, with a nive'fect stroke piston, She carried frem oight to twetye boats, suffictont to carry severe! hundred persous, ‘The Golden Gare was repaired in 1956, 1858, 1859, and latterly she has been put in excolient order. She was built for servioo on the Pacific coast, and wag sont out there after she was completed. Manzanilla, of which it appears the steamer was when the fire broke out, is in the bay of Limon, Isthmus of VYanama. The steamers from San Francisce call there to ship treasure brought from the mines of Coloma, in Mexico, It is about three hundrod miles south of Aca- puico and about fifteen hundred south of San Francisco. CAUSE OF THE DIS*STER UNKNOWN. The cause of the fre must remain amyatery till further accounts reach us. That the fire burst out suddeniv and eped with destructive rapidity must be painfully apparont if the lors of life is near 80 great as reported. It may natu elly be surmised that vho light upper works of © vessel Ing trading iu a tropical climate would quickly be consumed, thus rondoring all efforts to save the boats stowed upon deck a dangerous, if not a hopeless task, Under such circumstances the destruction of this ship by fire must have presonted a scone seldom oqualle:t in horror upon ‘he ocean. But yet we have the gratify- ing fact in Mr, Holladay’s despatch that at least one boat was lowered, and mado instrumental in waving life;tor he says he himself was picked up by tho ship’s boat ‘while the veasel was under way, It is to bo hoped that this was not tho only boat left to the despairing passon- gers in their hour of deadly poril, but that matiy waro thus saved, ‘Tho Golden Gate bad never run on this side of the Iethwus of Panama. Her burning is the first aecident, causing oes of life, that has happened to any of tho yos- sols of the oompauy owning her since their organization. OTHER VESSLL8 ON TUE LINE, ‘The other vessels of the linc are the Golden Age, the Constitution, just sent out, the charter with the govern. ment having expired; the Orizaba, Sonora, California, Herman, John L. Stevens, Oregon, Pasama and Wash- ington. The steamer whieh left San Francisco on tho 1st Inst, ‘will bring duplicates of the papers of the Golden Gate. ‘This vessel will be due.on the 21st; but long before then the telegraph will convey ug fuil particulars, ‘THE INSURANCE ON THE GOLDEN GATE, Tt appeats that there was no insurance on the Gokien Goso; DBP it in phones thas the apepio om board wap iwi F GAIN Sg RGAINES \_ OWFR TRESTLE BRILGE af ania * QUANES BEIGE ) =\ een) \ XS S = ESTBROOK Pe — WATKI/ —S e BERMUDA HUNDRED wmsured, more hau onv-Lalf veiis iisured in kugiaad, In the management of the business of the company the rulo 1s, for (he regular shippers of specie to have open policies; aud hence the consignees here have no means of knowing the amount of insurance until the arrival of the mail, Tho vessel was worth from $80,000 to $00,000. AMOUNT OF SPECIE ON BOARD. ‘The amount of specie on board was:—For New York, $1,114,000, and for England, $270,000—making, in both sums, $1,384,000, The premium of fourteen per cent, at which the Pacific Mail Steamsbip Company's stock rates, added to these figures, will give the aggregate amount of $1,577,760. EFFECT OF THE DISASTER ON THE STOCK. ‘The stock of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company was adversely affected by the intelligence of the loss of their splendid steamer, In consequence thereof stock fell to 10834 on the receipt of the first report of the disaster; but fron this it subsequently rallied, reaching to 110, and ultimately cluzing at that figure, showing a decline of about 214 per cent from yesterday’s prices. The loss to he compeny will amount to less than five per cent on the capital stuck, but which, ié is said, will not interfere with the regular quarterly dividouds. The effect on the Pacific stock influenced to a slight extent the whole market at the first board, and in some few stocks the extrem, prices paid before the 2oruing session were not main- tained. PACIFIC MAIL PATE OF THE PASSENGERS, ‘There is no reason to doubt the correetness of the num. ber of passengers reported to have been on board of the Golden Gate, leaving San Pranciseo. Tho number given i# 290, und of these 180 are reported as lost, which leaves the amount saved but ffty. First accounts of disasters, where loss of human iife is involved, are at all times more or less exaggerated; and it ie to be hoped that this case will prove no excention to the rue. We have re, ferred to the two importont fucis which show that tho efforts of tho crow and passengors to savo life were not entirely unavailing; and way not these offorts have been more successful, under Providence, than wo are yetaware of? When Mr. Holladay was over poard he was ploked up by the ship’s boat, the ship hi self still under way, making for the friendly port of Manza_ niliia, or the nearer shore, upon which sho was beached. From the fact, then, that at least one boat was launched, aud passengers saved thereby, and that the vessel was fo near the shore as to bo run upon the beach, it may reagonably calculated—as it is to be hoped—that the number of lives saved will overbalance those lost. The only passcngers whose names we could learn wo have beforo given, These are Captain Whitney aud Mr. Holladay, savud Mr. Flint, lost; and Mr, Boll, whose fnto is yot unknown.

Iv Caw at Matvenw Hr, Angust 5, 1902. General Hooker has been impatient for a fight with the enemy for some days past, He felt that something should bo done to show the world that we have got alive army on che peninsula, Believing that Malvern Hill, about which point ¢o much has been said, could be retaken, notwith- staading the natural strength of the position, he formed a pian to accomplish this object, and gubnutted it to head- quarters, General McClellan entered heartily into the plan, aad gave General Hooker the entire command of an ex podition for its accomplishment. A reconnoissance in force was mado last Saturday evening; but, the guides leading the column a wrong direction, the party returned to camp and resied until yesterday afternoon, when they were ordered to prepare for the march. Tim Manctt, ‘The column was not all upon the road until after the moon had risen, and threw a flood of light into every opening in the forests through which the little army passed. The roads were smooth and even, and the meye- ment of the artillery train mado but very little noise. Precautions were taken against alarming the enemy’s pickets, one of whom—the only one on the road on which the column moved—was captured, Guards wero placed around the houses on the way te prevent tho in- mates from conveying information of the approach of our groops. Whon the reating place for the night was reached, officers gave their orders in a whisper, ag it was known that a camp of the oxemy was near, Tho silence with whieh the affair was conducted would haye boen com- plove had | not been for A RAW BRIGADIER GENERAS, who gave orders for brigade movements in @ roice that could be heard @ great distance in the stillness of the night, Tho result of this little inflation of military pride shows how inoxperience aud lack of judgment in one offi- oor ina long line may sometimes defeat or damage the success of an important movement, The result in this case was that THR ENEMY WERE APPRISED of our approach at twelve o’clock, and reinforcements sont for, General flooker and his command would have been glad to have the enomy rejuforced, in order that ho might accept the gage of battle upen bis chosen fleld; but the warning that had been given Oaugod the fyppp upon | 7 Ck. re ik { \ ¥ _——_ 2h PALTIMORE CROSS ROAbS\ = iy \ A | 1 “A se -wulok our grasp before un adequate pan, ishmcut had been administered to them. THE BIVOTAG for the night was in the rear of tho Glendale bate ground of June 80, on the Quaker Church read. Grover’s brigade was in the advance, and their pickets saw no movement during the night, except of three meu who took a peepat the Secoud Nuw Hampshire regiment aud then disappeared. At daylight the column moved, a sufficient force having been posted to protect tho rear. Passing through the Nelson Farm, the body marched by the OLD DATTLE GROUND of Glendale. The Quaker church, otherwise called the ‘Willis church, lies upon the road below the field where the left wing, under Helutzelman art! Mooker, re- pulaed the rebels on the last day of June, ‘The litte church beara evidences enough of the Dloody work that was done near it, The pews were all ripped out and converted into amputating tables and other conveniences for the care of wounded men, and thy floor of tho building is entirely covered with biood. Many of the dead are buried around it, with hardly a memorial to designate them. I noticed on a head: board of one grave the name of L. E. Lo Blanc, Third Louisiana regiment. In the woods beyond the church, on the road to Malvern Hill, are abundant evidences of the artillery practice of the enemy upon the rear of our army during the march to James river. Troes of considerable size arc literally mowed downgy the shot and shell, and others scarred by the Miuie bukets that hailed through them, The column arrived AT MALVERN RYLL about half-past five o’clock. ‘The sky was clouded and lowering, and a heavy moistare hung in the air, whicl was not stirred by the slightest breoze, Tt is not proper to state what forces comprised the expedition, Suffice it to say that it wasa strong and well proportioned corps, with the proper amount of cavalry and artillery. Cavalry and artillery lod the column into the field, through the wooded gorge in front of Malvern Hill, ac- companied by General Hooker and his staff, Taking a position, with his staff, upon a conspicuous knoll, GRYRRAL MOORRR OPENED THR FIGHT IX PERSON, as he did at Willlamsbarg, posting his artillery and or- dering the cavalry to the attack. The enemy had a battery in position at the right of the brick house on the ofge of the bluff towards James river. ‘This was tho Fauquier battery, from Fauquier county, Vir- ginia, commanded by Captain Stribl Tho Fighth and Seventeenth Georgia regiments were on the fleld and two rogiments of cavalry—one the Cobb cavalry, of Georgia. Major Pickett was in command of the post. Tho Eighth Illinois cavalry charged upon the battery, and were reesived by a storm of grape and canister thay drove them back. The battery then fired shell and spherical case directly upon the road leading to the pil from the Quaker church, ond Captain Benson'y battery replied, Almost instantly a cloud of smoke settled over the fleld, obscuring every object. The enemy kept up ® remarkably well directed fire upon the road on which out infantry were advancing. Shells and epherical case buret in the road and upon oither side of tt in rapid suceession. The enemy's prac- tice showed that they bad previously obtained the range of this spot with great accuracy, The infantry, led by tho First brigade, Hooker’s division, cemmanded by General Grover, marched up the road under this fire with- out flinching, like voterans, in admirable order, followed by vhe other brigades in the samo mannor, When a shell was hoard approaching @ regiment the men dropp end were instantly on their feot again, with unbroken ranks, moving forward. Fortunately only two or three shells took effect upon the column, killing two men and wounding fifteen, The iniantry marched upon the figd and took their position, . and, the smoke having become so denge that it was impos- fible to seo the enemy, General Hooker ordered the fire 0! the artillery to be slackened, Tt was soon discovered, however, that THE KNEMY WERE ‘‘skr0aDDLING? towards the road on their left, which leads to Richmond slong the bank of the James. General Pleasanton, wi! his cavalry and 9 battery of flying artillery, charged upon them. Thinking he bad nothing but cavalry, they formed lino of battle; but a couple of rounds from the battery undeceived them, and they beat a rapid retreat. The cavalry and artillery pursued them two anda half miles upon the road, cutting them up badly and taking about fifty prisoners. When the movement toward our right was frat dig- covered it was thought that an attempt might be made to turn cur flank, anda battery was dat our right and rear, which (arew a fow rounds of shell in that direc tion. And thus ended the second battle of Malvern Ail. The enemy expected reinforcements from General Robert Toombs, who commands « brigade Ja Longatreet’a division, and who js statioued at Newmarket. Word haa beon conveyed to him at midnight of our approach, and she prisovers said that he promised to bring his brigade down early in the morning. Our columa cut him off: however, and as soon as the force at the hili-found he could not reach them they retreated, Ifthe enemy had not been apprised of onr approath Wo should have bagged the regiment upon the hill; or it the stacke had not concealed them go completely ‘untifit Was too late to cut them off there would have been & Similar result. It would have been rashness to attempt to cut off their retreat towards the river road until their force was known, Weeare now in quict possession of Malvern Hill, where General Hooker will give the enemy & battle as soon as they choose to come on, Four men were killed on our aide, and four dead rebels were found and buried by our men. A vumber of amputated limbs were found at the brick house; but the whole exteut of their loss was not ascortaingd. About ONE HUNDRED PRIEONERS were taken, While the enemy were retreating Lieutenant Joseph Hubbard, of General Grover’s staff, rode up toa squad of ten rebels and took them prisoners, telling them it was no use for them to fight, as they were surrounded. ‘He captured with them two horses marked ©, 8, “FHM CASUALTIES wore slight.

GENERAL MCLELLAN wad his stafarrived at Malvern Hill at twelve o'clock, and remained over night, He rode with General Booker upon @ recannvissance this afternoon, He is much pleased with the management and suecess of ine expedi- tion, It is probable that our forces will ocoupy this point permanentiy, thus extending our base and relieving the army from a suriewhat eramped position.
