 the eye instinctively turns to telegraph columns 

 expecting to read of " Destructive Fires"—" Terri- 

 ble Conflagrations," jt c ., has arrived, and we are

Overland Mail. 



The Eleventh Overland Mall from California, 

 with dates to Oct. 22d, arrived at St Louis on the 

 16th inst The following summary of news was 

 received by the American Express: 



The exceeding regularity in the arrival of the 

 overland mall from f>L Louis had excited the won- 

 der of our San Francisco coteniporaries The 

 second was set dowa on the lltb, and the third on 

 the lTtb. They speak of the demonstration made 

 on those ocossiona as past all description. The 



8t Louis mails In due time, notwithstanding a pro- 

 tracted detention by the way:— "The overland 

 mail stage of Messrs. Butterlield & Co., left St. 

 Louis on Sept 20th, the same day that the ma.ll 

 steamer now duo sailed from New York. The 

 stage arrived at San Jose this morning at Hi; 

 o'clock, having been delayed 37| hours at Fort 

 Smith, Arkansas, walling for the Memphis malL — 

 It will be seen that the actual running time la but 

 234 days, thus beating the steamer, via. Panama, 

 entirely 'out of sight,'" 



The Stockton Argus, in a late Issue, throws a new 

 light on the massacre of Crabbe and party in 

 Sonora about a year since. That journal says that 

 Crabbe was lured to Sonora by Pasquiera, under 

 the promises of being permitted to occupy a large 

 grant of land between tbe Mexican settlements and 

 the hostile Apaches for the avowed purpose of pro- 

 tecting the inhabitants against the incursions of 

 the savages. Pasquiera, it seems, had another 

 scheme in view, which was to join the Americans 

 in a movement for the annexation of Sonora to 

 the United States, should he fail to establish his 

 supremacy through tbe revolution at that lime dis- 

 tracting the State. Gaudaro, his opponent, then in 

 the city of Mexico, denounced him to the General 

 charging him with treason. Fearing 

 nces, Pasquiera, to establish his inno- 

 cence of the charge, coolly murdered the party he 

 invited thither, and sent an account of the butchery 

 to the city of Mexico, as an evidence of his loyalty. 



The Chili Congress had closed its session — one 

 of its last acts having been a bill authorizing 

 the Executive to purchase shares of the Valparaiso 

 Santiago Railway Company. The limit for buying 

 is confined to the next six months — the State as- 

 suming tbe same rights and prerogatives as indi- 

 vidual shareholders. In the agricultural districts 

 in the south, the crops promise to be plentiful, not- 

 withstanding the excessive rain which has fallen. 



From Peru there is little of Interest Trade iB 

 extremely dull on account of the unsettled state of 

 Bolivia, a3 the merchants refuse to sell on credit 

 At the time of tbe Btoamer's leaving there were 

 forty-one vessels loading at the Chincba Islands, 

 and forty-two lying in the harbor of Caliao. 



Tbe Kansas Golo Mine?.— By U. S. Express to 

 Boonville, on the 130) inst, we learn that favora- 

 ble accounts continue to arrive from the gold 

 region?. Seven men of tbe Georgia Company took 

 ont $500 in five days. Upwards of 000 wagons 

 bound to the mines were met last week between 

 Fort Kearney and the crossing of the Platte, Ar- 

 rivals from Utah, report six inches of snow on the 

 Sweet Water, and ice an inch thick. Twelve hun- 

 dred Indian lodges were erected in the vicinity of 

 Military Road, between this point and Fort Lara- 

 mie, The Indians are peaceable. 



TBEMBHDors Pile3 01-' Gold —The bullion in the 

 Bank of France now stands at about $120,000,000 — 

 a far larger Bum than was ever before held by that 

 establishment, and more than $8,000,000 in excess 

 of the largest sum ever collected in the Bank of 

 England. At the commencement of the present 

 year, the Bank of France held lesathan $40,000,000, 

 and the influx in nine months has therefore been 

 -$70,000,000. At the Bank of England, the total at 

 tbe beginning of the year was $53,000,000, and It 

 is now more than $95,000,000. The highest sum it 

 ever possessed was $111,000,000, fn July, 1852. 



Canadian Rkcii'Bocitt.— The New York Cham- 

 ber of Commerce held a apecial meeting on the 

 11th inst., at which the Committee on Canadian 

 Reciprocity presented a report complaining of the 

 forced interpretation recently placed on the reci- 

 procity treaty by Mr. Guthrie, by which interpre- 

 tation wheat grown In the States, and ground into 

 flour in Canada, is subject to duty on re-importa- 

 tion into this country. Royal Phelps presented a 

 minority counter report 



Sybacuse Salt. — Notwithstanding the general 

 depression, the quantity of salt inspected at Syra 

 cuBe exceeds the amount inspected during any 

 preceding year by about 200,000 bushels. The 

 aggregate for the season will be nearly 7,000,000 

 bushels, or 1,400,000 barrels, valued at $1,000,000. 

 About one-half the Bait manufactured In the United 

 States, 1b produced there. 



Tub New Canada Coin.— The Toronto Globe 

 has received information that an instalment 

 ($100,000) of the monieB stamped in England for 

 Canada, arrived out by the Indian, and will he put

 sachusetts, tbe town of South Danvers voted as fol-

A fobbion paper states that the caravan of pil- 

 grims whioh left Damascus for Mecca last so miner, 

 accompanied by the Sultana and her suite, returned 

 to Damascus on the 25tb of September, its ranks 

 decimated by the cholera. Or the eighty thousand 

 persons who composed the caravan, sixteen thou- 

 sand were carried off by the epidemic. The Sul- 

 tana and her entire suite, with the exception of a 

 young Georgian slave and an old eunuch, are 

 among the victims.

 highways.

 and afterwards one of her representatives in Con- 

 gress, died at Augusta on the 20th, aged 72. He 

 was a native of Maryland, a good lawyer and a 

 good Citizen. 



The Third Avenue Horse Railroad Company, in 

 New York, estimate the number of people carried 

 over their road during the year, at about eight 

 millions. Nearly four thousand miles par day are 

 runby theirBlxty-ninecarsand twelve stages. The 

 receipts from passengers during the year were 

 $403,679. 



A grain warehouse has been erected at Milwau- 

 kee wbloh is capable of storing nearly half a mil- 

 lion bushels of grain. There are six elevators, 

 which in the aggregate are capable of taking in 

 11,000 bushels of grain in one day, and two Bblp

 for 1858, is 14,000 gallons; Brown connty, 17,000; 

 and Clermont, 2,500— a total of 33,500 gallons in 

 three counties. The wine of 1858 is of superior 

 quality — as good as the celebrated vintage of '53 — 

 and the yield ia considerably greater than that of 

 "57. The price per gallon ranges from $1 to $1,20. 



About thirty acres of land in Winthrop's Neck, 

 in New London, Conn., has been fenced in by 

 squatters during the past summer. At the time 

 Arnold burned tbe city, the records were destroy- 

 ed, and no owners have claimed the land, which 

 has been unoccupied since then. 



The Utah correspondent of the N, Y. Tribune, 

 says the Mormons have left their lields just as they 

 were after the harvest Not one has been broken 

 up and sowed with wheat for the next year's crop, 

 nor have any preparations been made for that 

 purpose. This iB the case, so far as he could learn, 

 throughout the Territory, and is regarded as indi- 

 cating that the Mormons will be off next spring, to 

 what place or in what direction Is an utter mystery. 



Tbe Supervisors of Oneida county refused to 

 levy the State Tax of 1855, and were sued. The 

 State obtained judgment, and now they have the

 13 were drawn.

 pate In the healthful exercise. 



Letter boxes have been placed in some of the 

 Philadelphia passenger railway cars, and on tbe 

 latter reaching their terminus, near tho Exchange, 

 the contents of tbe boxes are deposited by the con- 

 ductor in the Post Office. It is found to be so 

 great a convenience to suburbans, that all the 

 will probably be supplied in the 



Tblbgraph to the Pacific— The Washing!) 



correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says that i 

 rangements have been made by tbe Southern ai 

 Western Telegraph Companies to continue the lii 

 of telegraph from Missouri to California and Or 

 roil The efforts of the companies on this Bide of 

 tbe Rocky Mountains for this object will be aided 

 by companies formed in California. The proposed 

 line will be for tbe most part laid under ground, 

 and for a considerable distance on the Pacific 

 slope, may be conducted, it is said, upon the tree 

 tops. The expense of construction will not, it is 

 said, be very considerable, in proportion to the 

 benefit, public and private, to be derived from the 

 line. 



Dacotau. — The people living in that part of 

 Minnesota not included in the boundaries of the 

 new State of that name, have acted upon the prin- 

 ciple of "Squatter Sovereignty," and formed a 

 government of their own, under tbe name of Daco- 

 tab, with tbe seat of government at Sioux Falls, 

 on the Big Slonx river. A Council and House of 

 Representatives have been elected, which convened 

 on the 15th nit, and elected a Governor, who ac- 

 cepted the office and made an Inaugural Address. 

 Congress will find this new community at its doors 



Another Submarine Cadle Failed.— The bod- 

 marine cable from Dover Calais has ceased to do 

 telegraphic duty. It has been in successful opera- 

 tion Tor years, and its failure now is proof positive 

 that tbe modes of insulation as yet discovered are 

 inadequate for permanent communication under 

 salt water, even for a short distance. This renders 

 the case of tbe great " Atlantic Cable," In its pres- 

 ent predicaments, utterly hopeless. At the best It 

 could not have been relied on for a great length 

 of time. New inventions and substantial improve- 

 ments, however, making electric communication 

 across the Atlantic a fixed success, are not to be 

 despaired of. 



The Gibl Rescum fbom the Mormons.— Judge 

 Eckles having in charge Henrietta Pollvore, who 

 was rescued from the Mormons by habeas corpus 

 at tbe reiiuest of the British government, ar 

 rived at St Louis on the IGth inst This girl 

 was abducted from Gloucester, England, four years 

 ago. Ell/.atioth CollOB, author of an extensively 

 published letter in r< gad to Mormon life, had also 

 her home fn England.

Fruit dj Italy.— An American traveler 

 "I have not yet seen either in the markets or grape 

 yards of Southern Europe anything that would 

 compare with the fruit displayed at our annual 

 shows. Not only in the large grape yield, but in 

 other kinds of fruit, this will he a bountiful year 

 in Tuscany. Figs, pears and peaches are in un- 

 common abundance; indeed, the last named are 

 about as plenty, good and cheap as with ns during 

 a favorable season in New Jorsey. Of fresh flga, 

 fifteen to twenty, can be bought for a crazia, little 

 more than our cent The olive yield does not 

 promise so well as usual, which may oblige the 

 Florentines after this, to pay a little more for tbe 

 oil they burn in their lamps and eat on their 

 salads. The past Bummer has been a very com- 

 fortable one in this part of Italy. There were
