ARMY NEWS FROM FORT LARAMIE.
- Correspondence Of the EUef,ing Post
FoET LARAMIE N. T., Oct. l6, 1858.
Since the movements of troops to and from Utah
ha; ceased, h opr p0 has relapsed into comparative
prevents perfeet>crrynation. Yesterday week con-
siderable nunIksAof Col Lander's Northern Pacific
Wagonfoad party came in from the West on their
way t3IthS a. Sie-Most of them are young men
= On theqeell4sss.J udge Eckels arrived from Utah.
having with him two or three apostate Mormon
f9pilies, and an Indian girl eleven or twelve years
old that he purchased from her cartors, and there
by probably saved her life, it is a custom among
these western trbssfo put their prisoners to death
as soon as provisi@ begin to get scarce. He is
going to educate her. The Judge would not saw
much about his difficulties win Gov. Cumming, but
gathered from reliable sources that Mr. Buchanan
will have to decide which of them he will retain
in office.
1t seems pretty generally conceded that Cumming
is unsuited for his position, but perhaps suitable
men for territorial governors are hard to find, at
least the history of our for the last four
years, seems to lead to such conclusion. On the
l4th, Mr. Wilson, the newly y-apponted District At
torney for Ueah, and his wife, arrived here in an
extra stage of the mail line. They started west
ward yesterday morning.
The late papers bring us-news of great excite
gold'at Pixies Peak. The item is simply false
have heard of but three persons who thought of
going to the Peak, and they have abandoned the
idea. Laborcrs are numerous here, and every day
there are applications either to obtain work, or to
get a conveyanc to the States.
| 1t seems the War Department is calculating upon
the Sixth infantry getting to the Pacific coast in
time to participate IN the present campaign against
the Indians in Oregon and Washington territories.
Persons who travel only by railroad and steamboat
regard distance of six or seven hundred miles as a
forty-eight or sixty hours journey, but if they
compelled to ''foot it." they would find it required
nearly as many days. When we last heard from
the Sixth they were getting along very slowly, and
would probably be compelled to winter in Carson's
| Valley, as their animals out. l doubt if
| even Mr.. Floyd's order can infuse new life and
strength into their mules
Our mail stages continue to make pretty good
time, but our mails sadly deranged. A great
many letters and papers go through to Salt Lake
City and then return to US. Owing to unac-
countabe cause our dates from Washington are
generally two, three four days later than those
from New York, Philadelphia or Baltimore. The
distributing office at Independence, Missouri, being
three miles from the mail boats, letters are always
delayed at that point at least twenty-four hours,
and frequently longer. If the distributing could
be done at st. Joseph, at Leavenworth, it
would be great advantage to u.s.
OPENING OF THE TEHUANTEPEC ROUTE.
From tie Ne'0 Orleans True Delta.l
SOUTH WEST PASS, Nov. 5.-The Tehuantepcc
Company's steamship Quaker City, which left Nina
titan at O'Clock on Tuesday morning, the I'd inst.

with the greatest demonstrations of welcome

AT noon of Saturday, the 30th ult., the Such
steamed up the river in fine style on her pioneer
trip The facilities for navigation are unsurpassed
and the beauty Of the scenery the river must be
seen to be fully appreciated. The trip up the river
| from Minatitlan to Suchil was performed in about
| eighteen hours early on the morning of Sunday, the
3lst. The passengers were landed at the Company
wharf, at Suchil and in less than two hours after
wards were fairly on their way, with the mails and
baggage for Almoya No delay or inconvenience
was experienced IN the passage up the river. At
Almoya, the head of Navigation, stages were in
waiting to receive the passengers and mails
! The roads across the lsthmus were in fine cond-
| tion, there having been no rains for week. All
arrangements had been perfected for the transit,
and no apprehension was felt in regard to making
the connection on the pacific side Mr.. Murphy,
the superintendent of the road, accompanied the
mails, and felt that the transit from Suchil to
| Ventosa would be made in thirty hours less. Mr..
| La Sere, the president of the company, also went
with the mails, and started from Suchl with the
most sangune expectations Of the of the
| terprise.
The Suchil brought the following despatch, dated
| Ventosa, Oct. Goth:
"Col. Schadas, with 400 troops from Caxacos
entered Tehuantepec on the Goth inst, having dis.
persed the forces of Zuloaga, who has now no hold
| whatever on the lSthmus"
The country is unusually healthy, and the people
of the lsthmus much elated at the opening oi
the routein fact, it absorbs all other questions OF
political or warke character.

| tween AlmOloa and Nentosa, which is more than
half the way between the points of navigation and
mule travel will be rapidly shortened, until within
few weeks the entire transit will be made in
coaches.
On Wednesday afternoon Michael McGoyern alias
John Hollis, was shot in New York by policeman
| Cairnes. Hollis had been arrested upon complaint
of the captain of ship, for assault and battery.
| While the officer was taking him and another to
| the Tombs, he knocked the officer down and ran.
The officer sprang to his feet and started in pur-
suit. While running he fired three shots, the third
taking effect in Hollis right side as he was turn
ing the corner of Fulton street. Hollis placed
in cart, and sent to the New York Hospital, but
died before he reached it. Officer Cairnes gave
himself into custody. The New York Ne,os says
"lntense excitement prevailed in the neighbor-
hood where Hollis was shot and disposition was
evinced to lynch the officer, but the prompt
I arrival of some police prevented violence to his
| person. The cries of Hang him to lamp post, >
Run him over an awning &C., were numerous.
| event was
the attempt of Hollis and his comrade to force them
selves on board the ST. Charles against the wishes
of Captain Conway. They appeared to be deter
mined to ship at all hazards and were greatly ex-
asperated at the refusal of Capt. G. to take them
Before Captain Conway sent for police assistance
he had been assaed by the parties throwing bricks
and whatever missiles that came to hand. The
rufiians exhibited such desperate disposition that
| Captain Conway felt called upon to arm himself
| from fear of their attacks.
| 'Hollis was powerful man and notoriousy bad
character. He was native of Ireland 2S years of

| Cairnes is highly spoken of as careful udicious
and efficient officer.
