ST. LOUIS, Dec. 22.-Ths overland mail Of
the 25th ult, with four days later dates, has
arrived.
The news generally is uuimportant. The
Novaj and Mohave Indians were troub lesome
aud e,inced, in some cases, az openly hostile
attitude.
Dates from Victoria of the 18th ult., were
received. Mr.. Nugent, the special agent Of
the United States, had published al address
in which be speaks in strong terms Of the
Injustice and oppression received by Ameri-
can citizens from the C0lorial authorities,
ard his intention to lay the matter before
bis Government at Washington. He had ar
rived 10 San Francisco and would leave for
Washington 10 the next steamer.
Business generally 10 San Francisco was
inactive.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23--It is understood
here, that the administration yesterday re.
ceived dispatch from the Collector at New
Orleans, stating that the Filibusters were
fitting out vessel from that port, for the
purpose Of m aking descent upon Nicaragua.
Also that the Cabinet to-day have replied In
effect that the Collector ought by all IN 'ans
to use extraordinary means to intercept their
departure.
Persons who profess to DO posted in these
matters, assert that the expedition has alrea-
dy departed. There is great anxiety here as
to the destination and result Of the exped
ton from Mobile 10 the Schr. Susan.

REDUCTION OF APPopRIATIoNs.- The Com
mit,ee Of Ways and Means have reported two
of the regular appropriation bills, the army
and Consular, with considerable reductions
on the estimates Of the Secretary Of the Trea-
sury, for the former 80 far as arseuaIs aud
other leading items are concerned. Wheth-
err the House Of Representatives will sustain
this action remains to be tested. 1t is one
thing tor the committee to apply an arbi,ra.
~ scale of retrepchmcnt, and quite another
thing for the House to adopt it. The prac-
tice has not been in favor Of following that
lead, and there is nothing IN its present
construction to sanction the advice Of the
majority with the House. 1t is now propos.
ed to reduce the scale of tho Capitol and
Treasury extensions, SO as to carry on those
works gradually, with largely diminished an
nual appropriations. As the Post Office Build
ing is nearly completed, the new rule may be
relaxed to that extent, as also to the Water
Works, now almost finished. The same dis.
position is entertained towards other branch
es of the public service, though it is difficult
TO sec how 1t can be carried out without a
radical change through tho entire expendi'
lures.
