THE DISASTER TO COL. WEBB’S COMPANY.

The painful intelligence published yesterday, relative to this company, has caused a great anxiety among the friends of those who left this city. The telegraphic dispatch of those who fell victims to the cholera, and as a matter of course, the friends of those from this city, were each apprehensive that they had lost a son, brother, or other connection. The following is a list of the names of the members of the company, though many of them joined after the company left this city:--

“The fact only of the robbery of the company of $12,000 was received, and the dispatch was so indefinite as to fill with painful apprehensions all who had a friend or friends among them. It is not yet known whether the remaining members will, upon their return, take another route, or abandon the project; but until the whole facts connected with the company are known, with the names of the dead, the greatest anxiety must be felt throughout the city.”
