Peck, jrnaster, anived last evening from ihe Brazos, which place she left on the :24th hist. The McKim brought the mail and a large number of passengers. Amongst the latter are .Majors McLean and Gra ham, bearers of despatches from Gen. Tavlor, and Capt. G. T. M. Davis, bear er of despatches from Gen. Wool. On the 19th in>t. it blew a gale oft*the Bar zos. The schooner William Bryan and I barque Robert Morris were caught in it, 'The former stove her bulwaiks and lost her deck load of mules and small boats. The Robert Morris also threw overboard a part of her deck load of mules. Sever ;al schooners dragged their anchors off the bar and put to sea; they had not re turned when the McKm left. The schooner John Wainwright, of New York, was lost with all her cargo in the Bra zos. The McKim experienced very heavy weather on her lelurn voyage and lost overboard Cltas. Muller,of Baltimore of the Texas Bangers, and —Churchill, one of Capt. May 's U. S. Dragoons, It blowing a gale at the same time, and it being dark and rainy, no a csistance what ever could he given them— they both perished. On the 21st inst. seven companies of artillery, in all 074 men, were despatched from the Brazos with a good supply ot jordnance and ordnance stores, in the steamers Neptune and Sea, to Tampico. “These troops,’ 9 says our correspondent, “are intended to relieve th.e navy which look and si ill holds possession of that . place. This will give those galia’nl fel lows an opportunity, which they much desire, to go further and conquer more They have not yet ha!f told their tale.”— The entire force sent over to Tampico was under Col. Gates of the artillery, who, we presume, will take command of lhat port. We have been furnished with the fol■ Jowing narrative ot the proceedings of Wool. Our last advices informed f\s that Qeu.Taylor Itad sent a message to |Gen. Wool requesting him to despatch a portion of the forces under him to Mon y % >clova, and that before tlie message reach ed the General, lie had determined to jjnarch upon that point with his uholecom ,niand. “Capt. G. T. M. Davis (aid to Gen. reports that Gen. Wool look peaceable possession of Monclova on the ,3(>lK October. The Governor and a mint her ot the principal citizens harmed an es ,cort and met Gen. Wool about four miles .from the city and welcomed him as a friend. One of the best houses in the place was offered to him for his head quarters —which offer was accepted. Gen Wool s army,.numbering 2909 men, was in ex cellent health and spit its. 'J he country $ t 1.^51* through which it passed is described as abounding in wheat, corn, beef, mutton, and every necessary means of subsis tence, which could he had at reasonable prices, Capt. Davis reports that corn is raised iu quantities and of a qualify sur passing any thing he had before seen, and that the climate is delightful and the country generally very beautiful, fertile and watered with numerous streams. — Gen. -Wool rearched from the Presidio dfl Rio Grande to Monclova. a distance of two hundp d and four miles, in eleven marching days, lie took along with him forty day’s provisions for Ids columns, and another train with an equal amount, was a lew days in Ids rear. These were die last supplies he expected to receive from Port Lavacca. as he designed open ing communications with On. Taylor for receiving future supplies.” News was received at Mo» clova on the 2d irjsi,, that Col. Doniphan, of the Missouri volunteers, who had been de tached by Gen. Kearny, at Santa Fe, for the duty, had taken the city of Chihuahua with TOO men. He entered the (lice without impediment—the town having surrendering without a gun being fired, as we always said would he the case. Col. Riley, of the 3 1 Infantry, has hern ordered to march with the whole of his regiment, upon Victoria de Tamaulipas. lie had left upon that service when our informant left Camargo. Upon the arrival of despatches from the United States Government ordering an end to he put to the armistice, Gen. Taylor despatched Major Graham to Sal tillo to confer with the Mexican camp and inform them that each party was at liber ty to act as it might think fit. Not an ofll cer nor a soldier was to he seen al Sal tillo. Maj. Graham had an interview with the Governor and inti rmed him that the armistice w as at an end, and request ed him to despatch the intelligence to the Mexican commander-in-chief at San Luis Potosi. The Governor desired Major Giaharnto proceed to San Luis and de liver his message; hut that officer’s in strnctions being peremptory he returned to Monterey. When Maj. Graham left Monterey on the 10th inst., Gen. Worth was under orders to move against Saltil -la. f!c waste have left the next day.— Gen. Taylor intended to accompany him with lhe 2d Regiment Dragoons, but would return again to Monterey, leaving Gen. Worth there. No resistance was anticipated from the enemy. Our letters continue to speak o' Santa Anna’s preparations al San Luis Poiosi. It was reported that ho had collected 30,- 000 men; but this was considered by many an exaggeration. Gen. Worth’s division vet occupied the city of Monterey, hut was about leaving for Saltillo. Gen. Twigg’s and Butler’s commands wore in camp outside the town. We insert a letter fiom one of our correspondents, which contains valual 1 j information: Camargo, Nv. 7, 18 46. Geujlerneu —Military enthusiasm ran high yesterday morning, in consequence of a ru mor that the President had authorized a movement from the army here towards Tam pico, but ’ere nightfall the fire had dampen ed down in consequence of our learning that some of our people had “comedown in ships” and performed that important, operation?. I think there is no danger of a collapse, as we can yet work off steam to advantage on the expected march of Gen. Taylor on Saltillo; the President having vetoed the armistice and given Gen. T. authority to go ahead, it is supposed we will without delay march on ISaltillo. A rumor (winch I do not vouch for, but winch is not only possible but probable) says that another revolution lias broken out in Mexico. The Santa Anna party declared him Dictator—a/iV/-Santa Anna (beaded by Valencia) demurred, turned their arms against tire Dictator, and drove him and his party trout San Luts Poiosi; and that the Dictator was falling back in the direction of the city of Mexico. This was a very natu ral route for him to take, were he driven from his lines at San Luis, considering the position of affairs iu this section. The people here are talking strong of Ter ril-ortal Government, and 1 think they are more serious about it since Gen. Kearny s proclamation has been known among them, j cannot see the least objection to the course lien K. has pursued- and the good sense of the American people will sustain him -- L'loset politicians know nothing of these people. Confidence and sympathy are thrown a wav upon them. Not an Indian chief who mams at large through his boundless plains and bibs—without example to guide him. Without laws to make him honest —that is pot more sincere, in whom more confidence ran be placed, than in Santa Anna, Atnpu dia (U- Mejia. And opr .Government will see, from the material she has got to work upo.n, that site must change her conciliatory policy for one more rigid, more conciliatory, f ilings have changed since we came here, or else at th it time were but little understood. The people are not ready to fly into the arms of our Government at tlie fire of the first gun, but the reverse. The military aspirants are pre vented by their peviple from making a peace with the* United Stales. I do not believe there is a single pulsation of their hearts, unless from interest or fear, which is with us; nor can any man whose views or opinions are favorable to us, raise to power or retain it long without a revolution.. Why, then, sprinkle “pearls before swine. The steamer Major Brown, which went up the Rio Grande ou an exploring expedition, has arrived al Loredo, from which Lieut. Tildcn, 2d Infantry, in charge of the expe dition, makes report. He reports favorably generally of the depth of water fur boats drawing four or live feet; but the channel, in mativ places, crooked, in others filled with Inucalouc rocks which “slick right straight AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, SATURDAY 3IORNING, DECE3IBER 5. 1846. up,” (easily removed.) and frequent rapids —all o( which the Brown passed over and arrived safe at Loredo.

Haynes’s company hud been tem porarily detached from the regiment and placed in quarters on the upper plaza of the town. The Flag informs ns that Gen. Taylor has been compelled to throw into prison a priest detected in preaching desertion to the American troops. The Flag lias lit tle mercy on him. We take from the “Flag” the following account of a smuggling fraud attempted < n the RioGrande. “We are gratified to learn that from information given in our last, an extensive fraud on the revenue of our Government has been delected. It has been ascertained that the freight landed from the steamer EnfeiprUe "as consigned to Mr. Uhde, the IVmssiiin Consul al this place, and was brought fiom Havana in the Star, an American schooner, which obtained a permit from the coiiector at the Brazos to land the goods on the Mexican side of the RioGtande free ofduty. A portion of the goods were accordingly sent up here, and the steamer had returned for the bal ance, when it was discovered that there was an irregularity in the transaction. Lieut. Chase, the quartermaster* at this place, with his usual promptness and in dependence, succeeded in ferreting out rite matter, and all the goods tl al have been found are strictly guarded and under seal until the arrival of Mr. G. S. Cook, the collector at Brazos, when a more thorough investigation will lie made. 'The cargo is valued at $200,000.” LATEST FRO3I GEN. KEARNY. Bv the way ofSt. Louis we have later intelligence from Santa Fe and Gen. Kearny’s expedition to California. Capt. Fitzpatrick arrived at St. Louis on the 15th inst., with important despatches from the Pacific. He furnished the fol lowing infomation to the St. Louis Union. O ' . We have slightly abbreviated bis report, a portion of the intelligence front the Pacific having been anticipated: When Gen. Kearny was almjt ITS miles south of Santa Fe,on the RioGrande, near the place whence he would take a western direction for California, he met a company of sixteen persons, who had been sent forward bv Com. Stockton with despatches toy the Government, aDo for Gen. K. From them it was learned that the American Hag was flying over every town in Upper and Louder California. The Mexican Governor and forces Lad been driven out, and were pursued as far as the head of the Gulf ofCalifornia. They succeeded in escaping across the Colo rado. The route to California which Gen. K. has selected is very difficult. The distance to the nearest California settle ment is 650 miles. There is great scar city of water and forageon th.e road. The company that brought in the despatches, was on the road thiily-one clays. It look with it fifty mules, in good condition for the trip, but all save eighteen Itad been lost, from scarcity of wafer and grass. In consequence of the information brought to Gen. Kearny, he ordered hack to Santa Fe all of the dragoons except one hundred, and availing himself of the services of the company that had just traversed the route, lie gave to Capt. Fitzpatrick the Gov. eminent despatches, with directions to proceed to Washington without delay. Oapts. Turner, Johnson and Moore, [dents. Hammand and Love, Lieut. Emo ry, of the Topographical Corps, M*j. Swords, Quartermaster, and Dr, Griffin, Surgeon, accompany Gen. K. loCalilor nia. Capt. Fitzpatrick stopped at Santa Fe onlv one day. The troops there were in good health. Although some apprehen. dons had been fell about provisions. Capt- F. says there will be an ample supply, as he met provision trains along the entire route. All of the volunteers, except the detachments under Maj. Gilpin, near Taos, and that under Lieut. Col. Jackson, were stationed at San’a Fe. There is a general look of discipline, and cot.fusion lias prevailed ever since Gen. K. left. Lieut. C d. Jackson had met ihe Navajoes and Apaches, hut they refused to make a treaty. He sent hack to Santa Fe for sufficient reinforcements to enable him to make a viceroys campaign against tiio>e hostile tribes. No news had been re ceived from Chihuahua. Col. Doniphan was to proceed to that place to join Gen. Wool. Col. Price was to leave Santa Fe on the ITih ofOctqher tor California. He would take with him oulv 150 men, and select a different route from that taken by Gen. Kearney. Capl Hudson had been ordered to disband the California Rangers, and resume the command of his former company. 'Pile Mormons were to leave Santa Fe on the 17:h, under com mand of Col. Cooke, and would follow Gen. K. by the southern route. There were more troops at Santa Fe than were I needed, and some difficulty was experi enced in disposing of them for the winter. On his way in, Capt, Fitzpatrick met Col. Thompson, on the Cimarone, 300 miles from Santa Fe. He had recovered most of his horses, and would proceed on his route without delay. His horses had pot been stolen, as previously reported, * but lost in a stampede. The grass along the Santa Fe trace had been entirely con sumed; hut there had been an immense loss ofcattleon the route. The new govei iiment had hardly com rnonced operations when Capi. F. left, on the 14th. The inhabitants were said to he distant ami reserved, evincing less 7 O friendship than was anticipated. [From the Baltimore Si;a, Nov. 30. J I LOSS or THE STEAMER ate antic? FORTY LIVES LOST. A brief account of this accident on the Sound, on Thursday evening last, was received in this city, on Saturday after noon, hut through some accident of the telegraphic account, the names of the saved were understood to he those of the lost. Mr. Marsh, of Haverhill, Mass., has furnished the following account of the catastrophe: The passengers left Boston at half past five o’clock on Wednesday afternoon.— '[’hey proceeded over the Worcester and Norwich roads, and reached AllyiPs Point at half past eleven on that night.— There they went on hoard the Atlantic. She left for New York between 12 and 1 o’clock on Thursday morning. There were between seventy and eigh - r ly persons on board in all, including pas sengers, officers, crew and servants. The Atlantic got well under way, and was running along finely, when the steam chest exploded, and almost at the same moment the wind shifted from the north , west, and blew almost a perfect hurri cane. The steamer was thrown into the midst of darkness and confusion, and the air FesQunded with the cries of the scalded. It was a frightful scene to behold. Capt. Dustan instantly called all hands to the fore deck, and ordered them to heave over the anchors, hut it was found almost im possible for a man to stand on deck, in consequence of the violence of the gale, the sea continually making a breach over her hows. Owing to this, it look nearly an hour to get out thelhree anchors. The steamer worked heavily, {dung ing her bows at every lurch, and draging her anchors. Between the time of an choring and daylight, it is thought that she dragged about 11 miles. The fires w.e/e all put out at daylight on Thursday, and from that time to the period of going ashore, the passengers and crew suffered from the intense cold. 1 The only moans of keeping warm was to | wrap themselves in blankets, and walk briskly around the steamer. All, at this lime, began to look to their own personal safety. All put on the 1 ifL preservers that the ship was so plentifully supplied with, and prepared themselves for any emergency. The doors, shut ters, settees, &c., were detached and cut aw ay, for rafts to drift ashore upon, when ever she should strike. The gale increasing in violence, Capt. Dustan, who preserved his self possession throughout the perilous lime, ordered about forty tons of coal to be thrown i overboard, in order to lighten the vessel. b ■ About noon on Tnursday, the smoke pipes, which were large and heavy, were ordered to he thrown overboard. This was done, the captain assisting, and the steamer was eased for a short time.— There was offered to the force of the I wind. The steamer continued to drift, how | ever, and everything looked terrible and hopeless: The danger increased so rapidly that between two and three o’clock Captain Dustan ordered the decks to be cleared of all merchandise, of every thing that was 7 y «"5 in the way. Cases of boots, shoes, bar rels of flour, stoves, &c. &c., including | one package, said to contain $7,000 worth of plate, w ere thrown overboard. There | were six to eight thousand dollars’ worth of lace on board, belonging to one of the passengers, who had previously said he would give the whole to any one who wmuld put him safely ashore. This lace was afterwards seen strewn along the beach. All these efforts, however, to save the steamci, were unavailing. No person ‘ worked harder than Captain Dustan, and his passengers and crew. After tldse | repeated and united efforts had failed, all . l*o pesos safety we<*eover, and ail feii de sirens and anxious that the steamer should j strike the beach. It was a frightful sight, but the feelings of tho>e on board had been wrought to such a pitch, that re-ac tion came over them, and they were re signed to their fate. About midnight she parted one of her cables, there being four out, one attached to thirty hundred weight of furnace bars, and the others to anchors. After this the gale continued to increase and blew a perfect hurricane. She was driven still nearer the shore, but passed a point that ail expected she would strike upon. Site then drifted about eleven miles more, making in all twentv. , two miles, which occupied about forty- ! eight hours, or terrible uncertainty and 1 suffering. She then struck, stem first, on a ledge of rocks on Fisher’s Island. A tremendous sea threw her up to the very lop of the ledge. This was the crisis in the disaster. In five minutes after she struck she was in pieces* In these five minutes at least one-half of those on board {he Atlantic were taken from time into eternity. The screams, I the crash, tlie roar of the ?ea, were dread- j ful. There were six females, four children and two infants among tlie passengers.— Ail tlie females were drowned or crushed to death. Only one of the children was saved, and he was the only one of the family of which he was a member. His I father, mother, married sister, and a younger sister, and two young brothers, i were on board. The'poor little orphan thus saved, and thus thrown alone upon the world, is onlv twelve years of age.— • - r The two infants were drowned, frozen, or crushed to neath. All litis occurred at half-past four o’- i clock on Friday morning. When the Atlantic struck, Air. Marsh was sitting in the gangway; his first im pression was that a heavy sea had struck \ the steamer. Jn a moment after, how- ! ever, the sea stove in Ihe side of-the ves sel at his back, and swept him along and dashed hint against the sound side of the 1 steamer, Before he could recover, an other tremendous sea threw him against j the upper side ot the vessel. Thence he was thrown in amongst the tilings on deck ;r» _ o and considerably bruised. After he was thrown up the third time, he ‘‘•ncceedt d in catching hold of the sky light frame, and there remained for a few moments, and the’only person near him to be seen or hea r d, was the small boy who was saved. He was on the top ofthe ledge among the wreck. NJ r. Marsh here discovered that he was made fast by an iron hook, on a bar of iron, which had be come entangled in one ot his life preserv ers; after great exertions he made out to throw one of 4he straps over his head, | which drew the other still tighter. He i then thought that all was over with him; i hut he succeeded in drawing that off. He then found that the other pair of preserv ers, which he had on, were entangled with those he had thrown off To'extri cale himself from this difficulty, he lay down, and dtew all off over his feel, and threw them away. During tliis lime the sea w’as breaking ■ up the steamer, and dashing the pieces of wreck about, at one time, against Mr. Marsh, and at another crushing either a poor passenger or an unfortunate sailor to deal h. After Mr. Marsh, had thrown away his life preservers he saw a gleam us light, front the upper side of the vessel. The Atlantic was then lying on her beam ends, and her decks covered with ice.— By some means he made his escape through the side of the vessel through which this gleam of light came. Before he reached that point, however, lie saw a human being standing near the aperture. After reaching to within six feet of the outside, he called to the person whom he saw, and w ho proved to be the little hoy, to pass him a piece of board, or something else, to enable him to gel over the ice.— The boy thought .that Mr. M. told him to leave the place. This induced the boy i to leave, and Mr. Marsh crept out over what he supposed to be a dead body, it was 100 claik to tell with certainty.— j Then he took hold of a parr ofthe wreck on the side ot the ladies’ saloon, and walked on the edge of the vessel. On i looking up, he saw the mast, with several pieces of limber or spars attached swing ing to and fro. Al this moment Mr, Marsh was washed back into the sea. Then he found it ne- I cessarylo swim as rapidly as his bruised j limbs would permit him through the swell of the sea, ice and broken parts of the vessel, to avoid the falling mast, and es caped by a few feet only. He made for j tlie shore as quickly as possible, which he | finally readied in safety, after being i driven back several times. After Mr. Marsh turned toward the shore he heard someone cry “Oh ! what shall I do? I shan’t get ashore!” Mr. M. encouraged him to strike out tit rough the surf, and he had the pleasure, in the midst of his (tain, to see the little fellow | land on the beach. As Mr. M. was thrown up for the last time he caught hold of a small sharp rock | and held on till the sea left him. Then j tic crept on his hands and knees from the beach over rocks till he readied a 1 C i rcnk, which sheltered him from the wind. It‘was very dark and intensely cold at this tiaie. Shortly after this, Mr. M. heard a speak, and inquire “who is there?” Mr. M. made an exertion to speak, and pro babl v made some sort of a noise, for the man told him “to hold on to his dress,” tr* oe led to his house, P mding himself very weak and cold, he could not walk with out tailing. Just then two other came up and conveyed Mr. Marsh to the house. I his was about five o’clock iu the morning, and from that time to aboiß 8 o clock Mr, M. was insensible. THE LATE STEAMBOAT DISASTER. We find in the N. Y. Herald of Sunday some flit her particulars respecting the late inelancoly accident to the steamer Atlantic, in Long Island Sound. ihe total number of bodies recovered, at the last accounts from the wreck, was twenty-nine. It is sincerely hoped that these embrace all that perished. J tie Atlantic was a new boat, and cpst about -$ 140.000. {She was insured in New' \ ork tor §555.000, though hall the amount, being a Hre policy, will not be recovered. A Mr. Partridge had in his company a Miss Jordan. All his exertions to save tier were fruitless, in the last of which he nearly lost his own life. He escaped to the shore by swimming, having first divested himself ot his clothes, with the exception of his shirt and pantaloons. The bud)’ of Miss Jordan was recovered, and has been conveyed to boston under the care of Mr. Partridge. The Boston Advertiser gives a listof many who bought tickets in Boston lor passage to IV. York, it says:—JSo tar as we can learn, only 30 passengers (20 first class and 10 se cond class) bought tickets in Boston for the passage to New York by the Atlantic, on Wednesday afternoon, and their names am given below, viz: Messrs.

Adams’ Conductor placed their valise containing a large amount of money in a barrel, w hich washed ashore about q miles from the scene of the disaster. Among the passengers lost by the lato catastrophe to the steamer Atlantic in Long Island Sound was the Kev. Dr. Armstrong. The N. Y. Commercial says— The Christian public, especially that por tion of it connected with the Am. Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions,-will bo deeply grieved to learn that the Rev. Dr. Armstrong, one of the Secretaries of that Board, >vas among the lost of the Atlantic. He performed his iast service for the benefit of ins fellow' men on Thursday, while the Atlantic lay at anchor. He conducted the thanksgiving exercises, and delivered an ap propriate address, recapitulating the reasons wdiich ought to fill llie' bosoms of the pas sengers w ith thanksgiving, and among the rest, no doubt the supposed fact that they had been saved from the dangers which threatened them while the noble boat was drifting and brought to a safe anchorage.
