THE SCHOONER KETCHUM. -- Mr. Gurgress, one of the owners of the schooner KETCHUM, went up today on the Pittsburgh with a Captain and crew of men to be put on board as soon as she reaches Little Traverse bay, where he expects to find her righted and pumped out. Her damages are slight, being principally in her canvas, and a trifling sum will make her as good as ever. She will take on a cargo of wood and proceed direct to Milwaukee. All hopes of the crew being saved are now given up.
