this city, within the past few days, says the
Alta, in regard to the Overland Telegraph be
between and Salt Lake. On yesterday a
meeting of several influential citizens, inclu-
ding French, English and other bankers, was
held TO take into consideration the necessity
of Immediately raising the necessary sub

$4,000 to complete a work of such vast i'm
portance to her citizens We are assured

the commercial emporium of the Pacific will
promptly respond to so small demand upon
her resources

passed the ordeal Or test, of having the
largest circulation of any newspaper
publishedin this city. This is something
we might "crow over" were we so dis
posed, as we have but just finished our
first quarters publication But it is such
a well known fact, that wherever pa
per is published ON the penny principle
and any degree of enterprise is carried
into its operations, it invariably has a
larger circulation than the high priced
newspapers. Our little Day Book is
sought by all classes and parties of the
community, and enters the .tfrestdes Of a
greater Number Of our citizens than ana

mtg. Such is the paper government
seeks for the purpose of doug its regular

by the same rule that prompts the mer-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3l.--Delegations

formal interview with President Buch-

The auditory was large. including num-
Der of ladies, and Secretaries Cobb, Floyd,

feature of the interview was theapparent
reconciliation between the chiefs of the
Pawnees and Poncas, which tribes have
long been hostile to each other. The
President, or grandfather as they call
him, having persuasively dwelt on the
blessings of peace, joined their hands in
toker of friendship, and all seemed de-
lighted with the proceedings. The Pot
towatamies were in citizens dress, while
their less civilized colleagues were in their
grandest attire, and more than usually
profuse of paint and feathers.

The News,

The excitement at New Orleans in re-
gard to the capture of Gen. Walker found
vent on Thursday evening in an immense
mass meeting, at which speeches denoun-
cling the condsst of Commodore Paulding
and expressing the liveliest sympathy
with the cause of the filibusters, were de-
livered. In Washington the Southern
members OF Congress are still warm in
support of Gen. Walker, and offers of
material aid pour in upon him hourly. 1t
is stated that the administration, acting
upon the clause of the treaty with Mica
ragua which guarantees the neutrality of
the Isthmus, will probably justify the ac-
ton of Commodore Paulding and more
over that it is not unlikely that orders will
be sent to the Home Squadron to carry
out the clause referred to, not only as
against the filibusters, but all others
This is precisely the point which it is de-
sirable to gain. The Transit route once
under the authorized protection of the
United States, and the Americanization
of Nicaragua follows as matter of
course.
The Charleston Mercury of the 29th
ult. states that the steamship Isabel brings
intelligence from Havana that the steam
or Fashion, which conveyed General
Walker and his force to Nicaragua, had
put into Havana previous to the 22d ult..
from Aspinwall, in lack of provisions, and
that the American Consul at Havana had
seized the steamer for alleged irregularity
in her papers. A report was prevalent
at Key West on Christmas day that
bark had passed that point with 600
men on board, who were proceeding to
Gen. Walkers aid.
The Indian delegations, representing
the Pawnees, Poncas, and Pottowatomies,
paid their respects to the President on
Thursday at IL o'clock. The President
received them cordially, and was very
happy in his remarks.
Quite company was assembled to
witness the ceremony.
Among the passengers who sailed from
