Our Overland Expreuu.

Our Overland Express.
Again We beat every other paper in this city in
the acquisition Of the news BY the Caledonia. Our
especial overland express came every mile from
Boston by horses. and reached our Office at two
O'Clock yesterday morning. II averaged twelve
miles an hour, ard with two horses sixteen miles
were run in ifty-sive minutes. This, however, can
be done at any time by our messenger.
1t is not little laughable to see the efforts made
by our neighbor Of the Sun to get the news Of the
steamships. That concern sends printers and
steamboat to Ne'w Haven and Stonington, and en-
cages from one to dozen locomotives, and yet
they never start, or, at any rate, they never reach
this city. That concern, however, publishes the
news, and the way he does it is funny enough. He
meeky and patiently waits till We issue our Extra,
OF the first Of which he obtains by giving to
newsbOy shilling He then sends for his printers,
and in about hour after we have flooded the city
with the news, he brings out miserable reprint o.
what we published. This he illustrates with cuts
of locomotives and steamboats,, which are intended
to show, probably, how much cotton has declined,
or the quantity of specie in the vaults of the Bank
of England. This is enterprise with vengeance.
We have not heard the result of the desperate
efforts of the other papers to express the news to
this city.
BEACON COURSE great foot race comes of
to-day. Major Stannard is the favorite and Is
taken against the field. When he run the ten
mile race he had sufficient time TO spare have
run more than the additional quarter of mile now
required. He is nine years older than when he
run the last great and in good condition He
will have to do his best to come off the victor
This will be the most interesting of the
son, not even excepting that between Blue Dick
and Fashion.
CONVENTION OF THE JoURNEYMEN HATTERs-In
Saturdays paper we published an address to the
Journeymen Hatters of this and several States
around, together with several resolutions thereup
on. 1t is the result Of meeting held in this city,
at the Military Hall, Friday last 1t has for its
object the establishment of uniform scale OF
prices throughout the States, and thereby proven,
the avaricious and unprincipled employer from un-
derselling the more honest and fair dealing trades
man. at the same time to afford to the working mar
what he is justly entitled to,-a fair remuneration
for fair days work. To carry out this object,
convention of delegates from the different shops is
to be held in the beginning of July, when all the
matters pertaining thereto will be entered into and
discussed, and arrangements made to bring this
desirable object into practice This is certainly
ing with the honest and fair employers must sue
coed.

ences. They intend shortly to visit this city, where
the admirers of The red men and their antics may

cent amusements together with all manner of I'M
natural or unearthly sounds.
NIBLo's GARDEN-All the world will be al
Niblo's Garden to-night-the commencement OF
a season which promises to be more brilliant thar
any that has preceded it. Niblo, with that tacI
which he invariably displays, has placed the man
agement in the hands of the most successful OF
modern managers, Mitchell, whose industry,
knowledge of his profession and perseverance,, ad
ded to the high popularity and ability of the wor-

of Mr.. Loder, is OF unusual ability and strength
