The Colorado Expedition.

The San Francisco Bulletin of March
5th says that news from the Colorado
river informs them Of the sinking of both
steamers used by Lieut.: Ives in his
exploring expedition up that stream
and the. consequent breaking up, for the
present, of the undertaking. The In
dams on the banksof the river were also
found hostile and dangerous.
It is this expedition to which Jr. john
NEwBERRY is attached.
Since the above we clip the following
from the news by the last California
steamer.
The San Diego Herald gives the
following lamentabla account of tie ex-
petition up the Colorado, of Lieut. Ives:
nBy the arrival in town of Mr.. Joseph
Sweater, from Fort Yuma, we have
later intelligence from that locality and
from the exploring party of Lieut.. Ives
up the Colorado. We gather the fol.
lowing particulars from the express
rider. 1t appears that the expedition
which assembled about $50 miles, in the
steamer Jessup, and were obliged to re-
turn for provisioHs, started again and
gained appoint as high up as so miles
below the crossing of the Colorado to
Salt Lake City; where, finding a party
of Indians armed with carbines, &c.,
who assumed a warlike attitude towards
the corners, the commanding officer
deemed it prudent ITO return without
landing. as it appeared hazardous to
ascend further with any force than OF
the steamer. They therefore returned,
passing the iron steamer still sunk on
the sand bar. They had descended to
within about thirty miles offFort Yuma
when the Jessup struck on a sunken
rock knocking a hole in her bottom
just beneath the engine, and went down,
where she now lies. ahsl2 ss 5215

Lamb, the Wife-Murderer, taken to
st. Louis-He Confesses his Guilt.
no the Editors of tbe Ohieago pailyPress

To the Editors of the Chicago Daily1Press-
MENDoTA, ILL.,, March "a, 1858.
To-day the Sheriff from st. Louis left
with Mr.. George Lamb, the wife-mur,
derer, for that city on the n o'clock
train. There was a large crowd g.saer-
ed to witness his departure from the
Passenger House. Lamb has, since his
arrest, been much engaged in reading
his Bible, and has prayed three times
daily. Several of the clergymen- of the
town have visited him and united in
prayer. The testimony from st. Louis
is most overwhelming, leaving not a
doubt of his guilt. Lamb himself has
become satisfied of the fact, and to day
has made a disposition of bis property.
Last night the Sheriff and Mr.. Lambs
counsel, Mr.. Strain of La Selle, arrived
with q writ of ,ha6eas corpus to take
Lamb out of the custody of the Con-
stable and Deputy, who held him on the
strength of the telegraphic dispatch,
but the, Sheriff from ST. Louis having
arrived, with a warrant, and the adj
ditional testimony serving to satisfy his
friends and Lamb himself that the at
tempt would be futile, they waived the
service of the writ and concluded to
wait the arrival of the. requisition from
the Governor, to be here Tomorrow.
The house has been found where
Lamb stopped. in st. Louis, the woman
that waited on his wife, who saw her
expire in commissions and assisted Lamb
in putting her into a box-also, the
doctor that was called by Lamb to her
aid,-wnom Lamb informed that she had
procured an abortion. The physician
vas satisfied there was no abortion, and
that the woman was laboring under the
effects of strychnine. The box contain
ing the body was, by Lamb andateam-
ster driving a lumber wagon, taken off
in the night. Lemb, since learning all
these facts, to-day has acknowledged his
guilt. His object for doing it was to
prevent his exposure with his maid,-
his wife. This confession, however,
may be doubtful, as someldepy it, or at
least say he barely admitted that he
g was guilty enough" or words of SINH
lar import. Lamb about two weeks
made 3 public confession of relig,
and Joined the Baptist Church of
this place.

Under the head of aDon,t care for
the People," the AutizLeconipton Press
IS copying a paragraph which is said to
have appeared in the Washington Uaioa,
ana which is in these words: NJ don't
care soAethe1 The People Ike or dislike
zhe Constitutson. &c.
We have seen other expressions equal
" absurd attributed to the Uaa0n. We
are . reader Of that paper. It's edi-
torials are all characterized BY good
sense, and We are thoroughly persuaded
that it never uttered the language at
tributed to it.
Recently an extract was published,
and made the text for a large amount
of indignant commert, in which the
Union vas made to say that the AID
miDjstration mad resolved to force thro'
the Lecompton Constitution by means
OF the patronage of the Federal Gov
eminent. After the expenditure of a
large amount Of situperation, the Union
disolaimed ever having uttered any such
sentiment, and challenged its a~ssailants
to furnish the proof. It IS a bad and
sinking cause that makes it necessary to
resort to such Aagrant faIsehoods to sus-
tain it.

A N. WRIGHT, the Anti-Lecompton,
Republican Treasurer of Ashtabula
county, very suddenly departed for
Canada one day last week, leaving the
Treasury minus over $1,000. a COR
respondent of the Cleveland PLAIN
dealer writes
sOne thing that astonishes me is, that
it has beer pretty generally understood
for the last two years and over, that the
Treasurer would be 3 defaulter. Even
before his last election, he was very
much pressed at times to meet the cur
rent expenses of the county, having to
borrow money, &c, to get along It
has also beer understood that one Jim.
Stone & Co, has had the funds belong
ing to the County for speculation and
to loan at 10 per cent. on Joint interest
to hinself and the Treasurer. But in
the face and eyes Of all this, this Black
Republican was reelected and this is
the finale Of the Affair."
Here are some of the effects of
stscreeching Lof devotipg more atten
tion to the business of the people of
Kansas than to those matters that be-
longed to themselves. Last fall an hon
est man, probably, was sacrificed by the
electors of Ashtabula county, for no
other reason than because he entertained
democratic opinions upon the question
Of our g foreign relations and a man,
generally known as . peculator, wes re-
elected. to the most responsible position

Both branches have done a busy days
work in disposing of bills. The sub
Treasury bill in the Senate, which was
discussed at length some days since and
referred to a select committee, was re-
ported back by said Committee, with
the old bill stricken out and a new one
agreed upon by the committee, inserted.
AS it is constantly undergoing modifioa-
ton, there would be but little use in
copying its provisions, at present.
The Senate after considerable discus
sion, has rescinded the resolution in ia
vor of a donation of lands tt the States
for the purpose Of supporting Agricul-
tural Colleges. The grand objection to
these donations of land for all sorts Of
purposes, is, that they belong of right
to citizens desiring them for homes, and
should be kept in trust for the use of
actual settlers who should be furnished
them at no greater expense than the ac-
tual cost Of survey, and bringing them
into market
Legislative Summary.
In the Senate, yesterday, the usual
business of a general nature was trans
acted, but no final action upon any bills
was had. A resolution calling for in.
formation from the Board of Public
Works, relative to the number of labor
ers employed by them upon the Maumee
and Western Reserve road, the amount
paid to each ; and for other important
items of information, was agreed to.
In the House a bill was introduced
by Mr.. Epson, for the relief of holders
of Seneca county Bank notes, which.
was read twice and referred to a Select
Committee. offye.
A joint resolution was introduced by
Mr.. CARLISLE, In favor of an act. of
Congress to grant pensions to persons
engaged in the war ofs18I2. A lengthy
discussion was had in Committee of the
Whole, upon the bill appointing a COM
mission to investigate the treasury de-
falcatfon. The Committee Of the Whole
reported the bill back without amend
ment, when it was referred to a Select
Committee.
The Select Committee on adjourn
ment reported a resolution for a sine
die adjournment on the third Monday,
in May, which underwent some discus
sion, and without coming to a vote upon
it, the House adjourned.-Ohio States
