Rejolcings Ovor the Arrival Of the Over
land Mail at st. Louis

The sc. Louis Republican brings us further
particulars of the arrival there Of the first
overland mail from California. with six passen-
gers. one of whom was Mr. Bailey, an agent Of
the Postofico Department. The Republican
says:
Mr.. Bailey being called out by gentlemen who
had assembled at the Planters House on the coca
sion, gave briefbu interesting history Of his
trip. The great diff uty in the way was the want
of wnter in Of the deserts. but this remc-
died to very considerable extent by the foresight,
Of the company, in sending water forward for the
Of the animals. The company lns m"re than
two hundred stations on the road. Mr.. Bailey be-
lcvcs that all the difficulties which attended this
trip will be overcome in n short time. aud he pro-
claims the whole enterprise "a perfect success"
The Indians gave them no trouble.
Mr. Butlerfeld, who has been laboriously en-
gagged in giving fair start TO the enterprise on
this end Of the route, we glad to say. is in ex-
ceent health aud confident of the success Of the
undertaking.
The Republican also gives au account of the re-
ccpton ofthc mail its escnrt Ia the postofice bya
procession of citizens heade. by band Of music,
n well rs the reception "f Mr.. Buterfeld, who
brought the mail through from San Francisco an
achievement which tina, paper regards asfar
brilliant than the laying of the Atlantic telegraph
cable rs il passes over our own soil, aH0rding q
semi weekly soon to DO converted into a daily,
communication between the extremes of the Re-
public. 1t says:
Nine years ago. when the discovery Of gold in
California led to the immense emigration to that
State, it was regarded rs an expeditions trip if
made from the Mississippi to the Pacific in eighty
to one hundred days Thousands occupied
n much longer time, and persisted on the waysde.
The establishment OF this mail route. and Of the
route from St. Joseph to Utah. and thence to Sac
ramento has changed the whole current Of things;
and it is now demonstrated, on II first trial, and
under adverse circumstances that it is practicable
to carry mail and passengers trem st. Louis to
san Francisco in twcnty-four days-and this will
be reduced. if necessary, below twenty days
The Republican adds that Mr.. Buchanans adj
ministration deserves great credit for the encour-
agcmcnt which it has given to The successful pros
ecution Of this great enterprise.
Senator Gwnn. of California now in Washing

the name of Litlepage, schoo-teachcr. 1t seems
that Cooper had made some statements about
Lttlepage which were not true whereupon Little
page waited on him and got him to sgn n retrac-

Littlepage had to pass, and shot him with dou-
BILE barrel shot gun. Nineteen buck shot hit him
in the breast. He staggered about twenty steps
and fell dead. Cooper then got his horse and said
he was going to Brennan to give himself up. He
was afterwards seen in Brenham. The neghbors
mustered and started in pursuit Of him.

Talk on Change.
There were not many gatherings. yesterday. The
weather was dark and misty all through the day,
without an enliyening feature about it. The mails

failed to arrive However, we have received one mail
in schedule time from New York this week-that Ia
about as much as we are by contractors allowed for

The cotton market was pretty firm yesterday The

Is great between crop of 26o0 hogsheads Of sugar
and that OF last year
The exports OF sugar for Northern ports are large
mostly on speculation on Northern account. yerv
little has been shipped on planters account. The
mass OF our planters prefer to rest on this market
where they can obtain cash on delivery. Forwarding
to New York and other Cities and selling there on
our months credit is equivalent to about six months
from the time the sugar leaves the plantation until
returns are received. OF course, drawing at sixty
days against shipments at the present rate of ex-
change and then have the sugar sold on three or four
months credit at the maturity of the bill, with the
long list Of charges, will not prove very profitable
