They also secured the picket consisting of a

brought away the families of Mr. Laperro and
Mr. Daugaix, consuls, and their wives and.
eight children. - ” ■ '

THE LOSS OF THE HOTTSATOHIC.
Washington, Feb. 29.—The Navy Depart

States steamer Honsatonie:
“About 8.45 P. M., on the morning of the
17th, the officer of the deck, Acting-Master J.
K. Crossby, discovered something in the water
about one hundred yards from the vessel, and
moving towards the ship. It had the. appear
ance of a plank moving on the water, and came
directly towards the Honsatonie. The time
from when it was first seen, until it was close
alongside, was about two minutes.
Thd Torpedo struck the Honsatonie forward
of the mizsen mast on the starboard side in a
line, with the "magazine. The after pivot-gun
being pivoted to .port, they were unable to
bring a gun to bear upon the Torpedo.
About one minute after she was close along
side, when the explosion took place. The
Housatonic sunk stem first, with helm to port.
As she sunk most of the crew clung to the rig
•gingand a boat was dispatched to the Canafla
gua, which vessel gallantly came to their as
sistance, and all were rescued, except the fol
lowing named officers and men:
Ensign, E. G. Hazelton; Captain’s Clerk, C.
O. Muzzy; Quartermaster, John Williams;
Landsman, Theodore Parker; Second Class

THIRTEEN HIGHWAYMEN HUNG.
Col. Foster, who arrived at St. Joseph, Mo.,
last week, from Idaho, famishes Thg Jfctos of
that city v&ith some interesting intelligent from
the mines. ■ * >
Col. Foster left Virginia' City on the 17th,, and
Bannock on tbe 22d ult. He in company with eight
others, packed through on mufes a distance of
about 400 miles, until they struca the Mormon set*
tlement about 60 miles from Salt Lake City. From
there they came to Salt Lake City in sleighs, and
thence through on the overland stage.
Col. Foster Bays a few days before he left, the
miners caught ahighway man with whom the coun
try has so long been inlested andonrsed, at Ne
vada, in the vicinity of Virginia City, and hung
him. Two more were caught and hungat French
ranche. In their confession they gave the names
of 83 of their gang, and acknowledged that they
had killed and robbed over 100 men. They told
where a number of the bodies were concealed.
Virginia City was next surrounded and closely
guarded by the exasperated men, early one morn
ing. No one was permuted to go out, but all
could come in who desired. Five men * were
arrested and a guard placed around them. They
wanted to know what they were arrested for, and
were promptly told, aiid that they had already
been tried by the Vigilance Committee and con
demned, and that if they had any confessions to
make, it was time they were snaking them.'
They were examined one at a time, out of hear
ing of the rest, and they all.implicated the same
men, gave the same names and .told the same
stories. They w r er* then taken out and coolly and
deliberately hung. Five men of the same gang
were also arrested and executed at Bannock,
making thirteen in all.
Among those hung at Bancoch was Henry
Plummer, high Sheriff, and George Lane, alias
»»Club Foot G eorge, 3 5 and Jack Galligher, two of
his deputies. In arresting the last batch, one of
them, a Mexican, fired on the arresting party
frcm his domicil, and killed one of the best ciU
izens in' Bannock, and wounded another. A
mounted howitzer was then ranged, and a raking
fire opened on the cabin, .completely riddlirg it,
and severely wounding the desperado concealed
within. Be was taken out and hung, the cabin
then torn down and piled up and jhis remains
placed on it and burned. : ;
* Among the desperadoes who''.were thus made to
■expiate their crimes and suffer the severest penal
ties of an outraged law, attheend of a halter, were,
those already named, the following
