Among many able and interesting articles

to the election Of members to the Lecompton

violence on the part Of the Topekaites them

Pretty fellows, they, to complain, now, that

TYPOGRAPHICAL INrELLIGENcE-The War
Department is in receipt of dispatches from 1t.
j. c. Ives, commandant of the Colorado Sur
veying Expedition, bearing date at the mouth
OF the Colorado river, December IA, 1857 1t.
Ives first announces the arrival of the expedi.
ton at the mouth Of the Colorado on the I'd of
December, and says that the voyage was un-
usually long, Gains and head winds prevailing
during most Of the time. Opportunity was,
however, afforded tor collecting useful informa.
ton respecting the head Of the gulf and the en-
trance to the river. The present maps are
defective, and in many respects erroneous. and
the Lieutenant thinks that sufficient material
Is now acquired to make more correct chart.
The expedition entered the river at the time
OF the Spring tides the velocity of which is said
to be so great as to render vessel almost I'M.
manageable, and the schooner was nearly three
days in proceeding miles distance. In order
to effect landing of the steamboat and stores.
1t was found necessary to run the vessel into
little gully. where she has been since lying
high and dry hundred feet from the river, and
at considerable distance above it.
Lieut.. L. had expected " find at the mouth
OF the river the individuals of his party who
had crossed over from San Diego, but the
steamer used to convey supplies from that point
to Fort Yuma had left the latter place before
their arrival there, and hence no means had
been at their disposal for joining the expedi.
ton. The steamer alluded to had been living
some twenty miles above the mouth of the
river for two or three weeks, together with an.
other boat which was there undo resine repairs
1t was understood to be the intention OF the
owners to get both boats ready and send them
down, so as to take the entire party up to Fort
Yuma at one trip. This measure, the Lieuten.
ant thought, might occasion some DELAY in hi.
operations and prevent his party from Joining
him. The Inconvenience arising from this cir.
cumstance was mitgsted somewhat BY tho
kindness Of Capt. Walsh, of the Monterey, who
gave Lieut.. 1. permission to hire his crew bv
the day until the arrival of The steamers. We
quote from the letter: s.s-.. ..ra.
"Our work has been conducted under ann.
disad vantages. The whole surface Of the conn.
try being submerged at the spring tides, and the
soil, soft tenacious clay, is able to dry I'm hut
few places before another overflow. Il has been

of the House committees, from their own affairs
