The Overland India Mail.
From the Rio Grnnde.

We clip the following items of intelligence from
the Rio Grande Sentinel, of the I'd instant:
MAN SHoT.-A Mexican was killed yesterday,
by the deputy sheriff of this county, while in the
discharge of his duty. The particulars, as related
to US, follows A robbery had been committed
by man the other side of the river-the thieves
and their booty escaping to this. Upon the facts
becoming known here, warrant was issued and
placed in the hands OF the deputy sheriff for their
arrest. Pursuit was made and one of the robbers
(there were two of them) overtaren about twenty
miles from here He identified by man ac-
quainted with him and informed of his arrest. He
then attempted to wrest a gun from companion
of his, but failing, ran to his own horse for his
knfe-faing in this, also, he turned and fed, when
he was fired upon by the sheriff, stated, and
killed. An inquest was held upon the body, by a
coroner's jury, whose verdict was. that the de-
ceased came to his death by shot from pietol in
the hands of the deputy sheriff, while in the dis
charge of his duty.
RoBBERy.--On Monday night last, the store OF
Mr. Sierra, merchant, on Levee street, was bro
ken into and robbed of four hundred dollars The
thief gained admission by boring through win
dow and raising the bolt. From the circumstances
it ID clear that the villain intimately acquainted
with the premises.
The LEGIsLATURE.-The Legislature of our State
closed its extraordinary session the 9th Of last
month, to meet again the third Monday in No
vember. The members have again returned to
their constituents to receive their congratulations
for having sat month, more less, celebrating
upon-what? The papers will show.
CALToRNIANs.-We had an arrival, on Monday
last, 30th ultimo, of party of eighteen Califor-
mans, direct from San Francisco and the mines
These gentlemen came through Mexico, from
Mazatan on the Pacific, and report having met
two separate parties from Brownsville, who were
in fine health and high hopes. These parties were
treated with the greatest hospitality by the Mex
leans through whose country they passed.
SrABBEp.-On Sunday morning last barilero
(water- carrier,) was stabbed TO the heart with a
knife by companion of his. The quarrel is said
to have been about woman.
We learn from highly creditabe source that,
before the close of the extra session of the Congress
Mexico, great reduction will be made in the
tariff and that the prohibitions various articles
now prohibited introduction into that country will
be taken off.
We understand that body of troops, number
ing about one hundred, left Matamoros Monday
last, en- route for San Luis Potosi. IL ia said that
this movement is caused by the anticipated Presi-
Dental revolution" which has assumed very
threatening aspect in that quarter.
