Arrival of the Pike’s Peak Express. 
The Pike’s Peak Express Company’s coach 
reached St. Josephs, Mo., on the 21st inst, with 
Denver City dates of the 15th. 
Denver City was visited by a severe thunder 
storm on the 14th inst. For one hour the rain 
fell in a perfect sheet, accompanied with huil. 
The streets were flooded with water, and quite a 
large amount of goods which was in the cellars, 
was destroyed by the cellars being flooded. Bo 
dense was the falling rain that persons could not 
gee across the street. 
The advance division of U. B. troops from 
Camp FJoyd, on their way to Arizona, tinder

There are reported gold discoveries of marvel¬ 
ous richness front the west slope of the range 
one hundred miles from California (Julch; lumps 
are said to have been found of the size of a hen’s 
egg. The report needs confirmation. 
There is considerable excitement existing here 
in regard to the U. S. mail for this place. The 
letting iB considered to be the same as a failure, 
and a meeting is called to adopt measures for 
relief. The letting to Bruce & Co. is considered 
a dodge of the Express Company to retain the 
mail in their own hands, but whether the conjec¬ 
ture is true, remains to be seen. 
Considerable excitement, now exists on account 
of reported rich discoveries, about three miles 
from Denver, up Cherry Creek. Some hundred 
claims were staked oif, and parties left here to 
locate claims. The discoveries promise from 
five to fifteen cents to the pan. Borne four miles 
are staked ofT In claims now, and others still 
rushing out to secure claims. A Convention is 
called to organize a district and elect officers. 
New gulches are being discovered daily on the 
Arkansas, which prospect nearly as well ns the 
California gulches. The water was to be let into 
the ditch this week, so that the dry diggings 
above Gregory's will be supplied with pure water 
in a few days. 
The trouble of getting quartz mills into suc¬ 
cessful operation, has disheartened many who 
have hitherto been most sanguine of success, and 
quite a number would sell out at first cost quickly 
if they could. It is a difficult matter to ascertain 
the real cause of the trouble; some say there is 
no gold In the quartz; others, that it is impure. 
Scarcely any of the mills put up this season are 
paying expenses yet

AdviceB from St. Thomas state that the Danish 
Government have Bent a Commissioner to Wash¬

because to acknowledge the right of a factions

A corv of the British order in council, relative 
to the war ngiiiust Chinn, though dated early in 
March last, has just been officially communicated 
to the State Depaitment 
A notice to the same effect haB also been re¬ 
ceived from the French Government, from which 
it appears that Victoria and Napoleon intend and 
desire to act through the hostilities in strict con¬ 
formity with the declaration of the European 
Congress at Paris, April 1856, respecting mari¬ 
time rights. They undertake to extend the decla¬ 
ration that the ting of a neutral power shall cover 
the enemies’ goods with the exception of thoso 
contraband ol war, to all powers which may be 
neutral in the hostilities. 
The Secretary of the Navy 1ms designated Capt, 
Frederick Engle, of the Navy, to take charge of 
the Chiriqui coal fields and harbors. The war de¬ 
partment has detailed Lieut. James Si. Clair Mor¬ 
ton, of the United StateH Engineer Corps, as a 
member of the commission in charge of the Sur¬ 
veys. The expedition Will leave in about two 
weeks, and is expected to be absent only three 
mouths. The results of this examination involve 
an expenditure by the government of tbreo hun¬ 
dred thousand dollars, anti hence the importance 
of selecting competent officers to conduct it. 
Both Engle and Morion stand deservedly high in 
their respective branches ol the service. 
Congress, during the last session, made no pro¬ 
vision whatever for the increase of the revenue. 
The loan hill being specially designed for the re¬ 
demption of outstanding Treasury notes, the 
Government is left entirely to depend on its or¬ 
dinary receipts for its support; but with strict 
economy there is no apprehension of embarrass¬ 
ment,and the appropriation for objects noturgent 
or immediately required, may therefore not be 
expended, unless it shall hereafter appear that 
thi-re iB any increase of the financial means be¬ 
yond the present anticipations. The Treasury 
commenced the fiscal year, July 1st, with about 
$4,000,000 on band, and the Customs’ revenues in¬ 
dicate a heavy commercial business, the receipts 
of last week beiug extraordinarily large. As the 
loan account provides only for the redemption of 
the treasury notes, the department has no inten¬ 
tion to invite proposal under it at this time. 
The number of acres embraced in the proclam¬ 
ation for the public bind sales in Minnesota, in 
October next, is four millions auil three-quarters. 
In 1853, seven millions were offered, but owing to 
the pressure and accession of settlers, all except 
seven hundred thousand acres was withdrawn. A 
year ago, of the two or three million acres offered 
for Bale, the lands pre-empted were omitted as a 
further relief to the settlers. The rule is that the 
oldest surveyed lands are first offered. The num¬ 
ber of acres included in the proclamations for 
sales in the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska 
in August was seven millions. 
From the 1st of January to the 1st of July, 4,-

Accounts continue to reach Washington that 
our mercantile marine is subjected to the moBt

and the property of his employers in those sens. 
Several cases of mutinous conduct, reaching to 
violent assaults on the ship’s officers, have occur¬ 
red within the past few years at Batavia aud other 
Dutch East India Ports; and when thejauthorities

alleged outrages occurred under the American flag 
and were perpetrated by men not cognisable to the 
Dutch authorities. The case of Hussey, Norman,

Armstrong guns.

Naples is tranquil. It is asserted that the most 
violent pressure was being exercised by Napoleon 
on both the courts of Naples and Turin for the

The Overland Mail Coach, with regular San 
Francisco dates of June 29th, arrived at Van Bu- 
renville, Ark., on the 19th inst. 
During the past six months, the number of pas¬ 
sengers arriving at Ran Francisco was 20,000, and 
the departures about 7,000, showing a net gain to 
the population of the Btate of abont 13,000. 
The Masonic fraternity of the State celebrated 
St. John’s Day, in San Francisco, on the 26th, 
with appropriate ceremonies. More than 10,000 
Masons julned the procession. They laid the 
corner stone of the new Masonic Hall, which is to 
cost, including the lot, $192,000. 
A large mass meeting was held in Mechanics’ 
Hall, in San Francisco, on the evening of the 
26th, to rejoice over the defeat of the Santillon 
laud claim, and the overthrow of the Peter Smith 
title, by the State Supreme Court. 
Mining accounts from Carson Valley are but 
repetitions of the same story. The Ophir Com¬ 
pany are sending to San Francisco fifteen tuns of 
ore per week from their claim in the Comstock 
lead, which is worth, on an average, over $2,000 
per tun. Abont one tun in Twenty taken from the 
mines is of this richness, and is sent to San Fran¬ 
cisco; the balance remains in piles at the mines, 
to be used when smelting works are erected on 
the ground. This kind of ore is considered to be 
worth from $500 to $1,000 per tun. Of the rich¬ 
ness of the Comstock lead, for an extent of a mile 
or more, there is no longer any doubt; but it re¬ 
mains to be proved whether there is another val¬ 
uable silver mine in the vicinity. 
The population of the Washoe region is report¬ 
ed, by the local paper, as increasing by emigra¬

The Indians had ceased to be troublesome since 
the U. S. soldiers are posted at exposed points, 
and the hostile tribes have gone to Oregon and 
the Humboldt Mountains. 
The steamer Panama, which arrived on the 
27th, brought Oregon and British Columbia dates

The Oregon news is generally uninteresting. 
It is conceded that the Democratic candidate for 
Congress is elected, and that such a Legislature 
has been chosen as renders certain the defeat of 
Lane and Smith for the U. S. Senate. The Dem¬ 
ocratic papers, however, claim that bo Republi¬ 
can can be elected to the Senate, and intimate 
that the Lecompton and anti-Lecompton members 
will compromise their differences bo as to secure 
two Democratic Senators of moderate sentiments.

Intense heat prevailed in the Southern States 
last Wednesday and Thursday week, the mercury 
in some places registering 100° and upward. 
Mirny deaths from sunstroke resulted. Charles¬

Charleston Mercury says the heat was ‘‘terrible,” 
and the fatality unprecedented. 
A singular mortality seems to prevail among 
the three cargoes of negroes at Key West. Not 
only do those reduced and attenuated by disease 
drop oft’, but it is hinted that the healthy aod 
robust are disappearing in rather a suspicious 
proportion. One hundred and ninety-nine are 
said to have been buried, and it is Baid that that 
number of coffins have been deposited in the 
earth; but the question arises whether each one 
of them contained a defunct negro. 
A correspondent of the Congregationalist

It is asserted that the ministry has obtained the
