Passage

Daily Alta California, September 28, 1864

The steamship Moses Taylor, with passengers from New York via Nicaragua, arrived at this port on Tuesday morning, at four o'clock, after a passage of eleven and a half days from San Juan del Sur. The passengers by this steamer left New York on 27th of August, on the steamer Golden Rule. There was a detention of a week on the Isthmus, owing to the fact of there being no coal at San Juan del Sur. The Taylor was compelled, consequently, to go down to Panama to get a supply, arriving on her return at San Juan on the 15th instant.

It is the rainy season on the Isthmus, and there is a fine stage of water in the river.

The boats are represented as being very commodious and comfortable.

Among the arrivals by the Taylor is Dr. McMurtry of Santa Clara county, late State Senator, and Delegate to the Union Convention at Baltimore. He has visited the Army of the Potomac during his absence, as one of the Christian Commission, and has returned here with a bride, a stronger Union man than ever.

There was no sickness at the moment, and no deaths amongst the passengers by this arrival.

We are indebted to Senator McMurtry for New York papers of the 27th, four days later.
