WESTERN NEWS.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 3.
The overland mail last night brought six passen
gers, among them Mr. McKibben and Lieut.. Now
i ry, from Arizona.
| Mowry left ella ,City Nov. 4th, al which time
some $50 men or more were digging gold, at an
average yield of $40 per day, with the rudest k I'd
| ef implements.
Every part of the country which has been pros
pected, in the vicinity of the mines, has proved
auriferous and he opinion was current among mi
ners that no richer surface dggings exist even in
the most ayorite portions of California The mines
are located on neutral ground, between the Yuma
and PimOs Indians, TINS no danger need be appre
hended from hostile tribes.
Several other mines were being actively worked.
Rfr. MOWTy brings several rich specimens from the
silver mines; also $500 in gold from the ella river
diggings. He computes the population Of the ter
rtOry at 1000, and gives glowing account of the
beauty and agricultural and grazing resources of
the country
The mail route from San Francisco to Texas is in
good order, but the central route is in very bad
condition, owing to loose management and inferior
stock.
The first mail from Albuquerque to California
was ordered from the 35th parallel to the Arizona
road to PimOs, thence into California by the But
terfield route.
1t was reported at Fort Smith that Lieutenant
Beale would go into winter quarters. The rumor
of his having been attacked by Indians was disbe-
lieved.
Mr.. McKibben reports that the Apache Indians
continued their deprcdatiOns on the frontiers of
Sonora and ArizOnia Seven out of a party Of
eight were recently killed by party Of MeXicans,
40 miles from Fort Buchanan.
The revolution in Sonora was in full progress
Gov. Pesqueri had lost the support Of the rich men
and merchants OF Providence, account of his fail
ure to return large sum of money, which he had
borrowed of them, according to his promise.
Capt Stone was progressing successfully with his
surveys under the recent contracts authorized by
Government Mr.. Feiken reports the Camanches
somewhat troublesome, although they had not
organized band sufficiently large to occasion much
alarm.
Mr.. Edwards of Lieut. Beales party had arrived
at Fort Smith. He reports the expedition all well
in Camp on the South side of Canadian river
Beale would proceed TO Albuquerque as the escorts
which was within short distance of him, overlook
him.
The mail from Neosho TO Alberguerge was at
Beale's Camp.
Col. Ross was in the neighborhoOd of Resting
Springs, proceeding with examination Of the
surveys towards the Mohave and TriOn.

LETTER FROM PAINEsvTLLE.

PAINEsvILLE, December 8, 1853.
The numerous brick Blocks that our citizens
have been engaged in erecting the past season
upon our several extensive Burned Districts, {"
are now nearly all fully completed, and our
Merchants and Mechanics are ''moving in -
Few villages have suffered from fire more severe.
ly,than Painesville, and few towns ever rose from
their misfortunes with more energy or complete.
ness Painesville is more than herself again.
But while preparing largely the means for this
material growth and prosperity, our citizens are
not negectful of their social and intellectual cul-
ture. The LIBRARY Association have made
provision for course of Lectures by an able
corps of Leeturers-opening the course on
Wednesday evening of this week by an highly
interesting Lecture from RICHARD C. PARSONS,
Esq, of your city. Mr.. Parsons theme was
Jefferson and has Times; a Well-choseR subject
and on this occasion most admirably treated
Thomas Jefferson was one of the very greatest
and best of our Statesmen, and we are glad the
time has fully come when all parties are proud
to do him justice. For great share of the gen
uine Democracy which underlies our political
institutions are we indebted to Tom Jeffer-
son, and we were glad to find that in Mr.
Parsons hands, his memory was in charge of
one who could fully sympathise with his broad

A Coon ONE The officials about the Court
House tell a story about certain gent, who has
grown grey inthe service of the county as pro-
tessiOnal jnryman. 1t seems that one of the
Judges had finished charging the jury, (among
whom as usual sat our friend) in a very import
ant case which had been in progress OF trial for
some days, when to the great astonishment of
all present, the professional arose from his seat
and begged to call the attention of his Honor to
a slight mistake he had made in his charge, and
actually quoted authorities to sustain his posi-
ton Upon referring to his citations it was
found to the no small amusement of the specta
tors, that the juryman was right and his Honor
was wrong; whereupOn with all due gravity he
informed the bench that he knew he was correct,
as he had been charged at least forty times on
thesame point in the last four months, and
couldn't be mistaken. GIN Com
