Under the head of "mutiny and outrage," it

is said, in consequence of the high wages paid to seamen in the merchant service, being from $130 to $150 per month, it is with great trouble and watchfulness that the seamen in the naval service can be retained; and that Lieut. Gibson, of the U. S. schooner Ewing, was seized and

thrown overboard, and the men took the boat and escaped on shore. The gallant Lieutenant, however, dragged two of his assailants into the water with him. The men were subsequently arrested and are now in irons on board the Savannah.

Several hundred pack mules, under the charge of competent officers, have been sent to Vallecitos, at the edge of the Great Desert, and to the Sink of Humboldt's river, in the Great Basin—the places where emigrants will most require aid.
