We
last week promised our readers some further account the adventures of our
returned Californians. We had hoped to
procure the services of Mr. Mitchell, to give us a lengthy communication, but
we regret to say his health has been such, since his return, that it would be
imprudent for him to undertake the task.

Prescott, Sylvester D. Prescott
Spirit of Democracy,
Many of the citizens no doubt remember the person whose
name heads this article. We first became acquainted with him in 1832, and
during the two years following we worked together as apprentices in the same
office. Some fifteen or sixteen years have now elapsed since we last saw him;

with some of our most cherished reminiscences. But HE IS NO MORE!
The following extract of a letter, from John C. Morrill,
dated,
“Alas! My dear brother, I have sad news to communicate. Death
has been amongst us in its most heart-rending form. Our beloved cousin,
SYLVESTER D. PRESCOTT, is no more! He was killed at
He was standing on the boiler-deck of the ill-fated
steamer, (having taken passage on her for home,) when she exploded. His body
sunk with the boat, and was recovered the next day and recognized by an
acquaintance. He must have been killed instantly—for one side of his head was
mashed, and a deep and dreadful wound in his left side told too plainly that
his warning was as brief as the twinkling of an eye. Over two hundred persons
were lost by this sad castrophe.
“Have the kindness to communicate to James R. Morris the
death of our cousin—James R. will not forget, I know, though years have flown
by, the kindness of Sylvester’s heart. Yes, the whole Morris family and his
acquaintances at Woodsfield will sympathize with us in the loss of so noble, so
generous a relative.”
