A postal card from San Francisco informs us that the Gatherer arrived at Liverpool May 26th, 124 days from Astoria, and will return to this port direct. It will be remembered that this vessel was competing with the Western Shore on the trip, but the latter completed the voyage in 102 days. Mr. C. Leinenweber returned last night from his search after Wil liams and Johnson, the lost fisher men. He found the sail, two oars, and eighteen fathom of the net down the beach, fourteen miles south of the bar, but the men were no where to be seen, dead nor alive. A man named Cole, a soldier at Fort Canby, was drowned in Baker's Bay, off the site of old Pacific city, on Saturday, by the upsetting of a din ghy. He wras in company with another man, and when the dinghy upset, and assistance was rendered from the shore, Cole directed the as sistants to help his companion as lie could help himself. The man who was with. him. was saved, but Cole -was drowned. The body wras recovered. Mr. John Wood, of South Bend, arrived yesterday via Knappton, en route to Olympia. He informs us that the damages to the Tiernan were so slight that the vessel has "been se curely repaired, and is now again ready for sea, and to-day. will probably sail CITY ITEMS. A private letter from Unity, -dated on the 11th, informs us that a skiff was picked up on the weather beach near Cape Hancock on Satur day. Nothing inside but two oars. A small blue rudder was also picked up eight miles north of the Cape, on AVednesday. The same day Mr. J. L. Stout picked up a split-sail about ten feet in size, made of sacks, and a boom-stick spliced and wrapped. Yer lly the sea is giving up its mysteries, Imt without revealing the profound est secrets.

We pre sume it must have been him that was seen floating down the river on a raft, without rudder or oars. How he got to the place where he was found is yet a mystery. Perhaps the discovery1 of his raft will show that he floated there direct from the Wallamet.

The steamer Yellowstone also arrived on the tenth, confirming ports. We give the report as ceived, remarking that amongst many grains of gold there should some grains for allowance. The wag on train brought $15,000 in dust; the steamer $21,000 $36,000 in all. Four men took out in one day fifteen pounds of gold $3, GOO. Another claim yielded from $1,800 to $2,800 per day, two gangs of ten men each, being employed, mining day and night. They ought at that rate to show more than 3u,uuu, witnnourat 28 per sack, and other supplies in propor tion for 7,000 miners. The western-bound freight rates from Boston were dropped several notches on Monday, in consequence of the railway war. A reduction from seventy cents to twenty-five cents per hundred pounds, was made by the Erie road on the 12th, to Chicago. Fares from New York to San Francis co were placed at $100. At these rates it will be impossible that com panies will be paid for the handling of goods. It is probable that all the lines "will follow suit. At a meeting of tbe Directors of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, held in Xew York on Saturday the Panama Railroad and Transit Com panies agree to admit the Pacific Mail in its connections with the Panama railroad on the same terms made by contract with the Panama Transit company, without any charge for commissions. The mail directors advanced S17,500 each, thus provid ing a fund to meet the old liabilities and place the company on its pins pain in the head and dizziness. On en tering the vestibule, he was so over come with sudden illness that he came near falling, but this was pre vented, and he was assisted to a seatr on the steps when he exclaimed: "Oh, this pain!" A conveyance having been procured, Mrs. Blaine returned with him home; he then being uncon scious. A bed was brought into the front parlor on which he was laid, and a surgeon having been sent for Surgeon-General Barnes, and Drs. Bliss, Cox, Yerde, and Pope, they soon appeared and lost no time in cuppipg the sprne and resorting to other counter irritants- and remedies. From eleven in- the morning until 4 o'clock in the- afternoon, he laid un conscious, breathing irregularly. His wife, physicians and other friends re maining at his bedside- During that time the physicians said Blaine was suffering from over excitement of the brain and nervousness superinduced by the- recent events in which he has been a prominent actor, the symptoms being aggravated by tho weather, which to-day was very op pressive. Several weeks ago Blaine was confined to the house for some days by a low type of malarial fever, but appeared before the sub judiciary committee, who were investigating the charges against him, before he had fully recovered from the effects of that disease. This, with 'the ex citement on his part, both before the committee and in the house, and the large number of persons daily in con ference with him, and his attention to his extensive correspondence, in cluding very many telegrams from all parts of the country, especially during the past week, loss of rest and other causes, produced the strain upon his mind that caused his sudden illness. He is slowly recovering. Passengers from San Francisco. Foil wing is a list of passengers from San Francisco : jMissM Williams Miss Dora Brown Mrs M. C. Perry Miss L. Lowo Miss J.

Just as he reached tlie church he complained of severe Reading in the Oregonian of yesterday morning that the water was on a level with Front street, at the foot of Stark, and covered a por tion of the back porch at the Cosmo politan, se$ us to thinking that per haps that city will be visited with a flood equal to that of 1SG2.
