Overland Mail.

The overland mail arrived in San Francis
co, Friday morning, with dates from ST. Loui
to October 25th The time made was "a
days and 90 hours. The news is mostly o
the big prize fight between Morrissey anc
Heenan. The Buffalo Courier has the fol-
lowing in relation to it:
$50 far as the condition of the men were
concerned, Morrissey was infinitely superior
as Heenan had been confined to the house OF
a friend on Carlon street. in this city, since
Saturday last to Tuesday evening, and under
the care of DR.. Geo. Burwell To this, and
the breaking of Heenans left hand in the
first round, Morri sey owes his success. The
! fight is admitted to be the most terrific OF
any which has taken place in this country
Morrissey was in fact whipped in the first
round, but did not seem conscious of it, lie
Is tremendous fighter, and has experience
in the ring having fought with Yankee SUR
Ivan, while the Benicia Boy on the contrary,
has no acquaintance or experience of this
kind, having not only never fought in the
ring, but never even seen prize fight The
ability and game which he showed in this
fight, under very unfavorable circumstances,
has convinced his friends of great power and
they are now willing to back him against
Morrissey, or any other man in the world,
for any sum from $4,000 to $4,000"
The followingi is an account of hanging a
woman in Kentucky:
The Clark and Twiggs tragedy was to
day October 22d, brought to a conclusion
by the execution of Mrs. Twiggs for having
taken part in the murder of her husband and
Mrs Clark. The condemned woman passed
last night rather comfortably, sleeping with
her children in her arms. She bade farewell
to her brother and children this morning, and
after devotional exercises in her room, was
taken to the scaifold at atquarter past ten
o'clock, leaning on the arm of her spiritual
adviser. A chapter having been read and
an impressive prayer offered up on the scat.
fold, Mrs. Twiggs spoke for eight or ten min
utes protesting her innocence, declaring her
readiness to die and her trust in a Just Judge,
only regrctting to leave behind her two or.
phan children. She was much affected
throughout. The solemnity of the scene was
made more impressive by her groans and
sobs and even after the cap was drawn over
her face she appealed to God in the most
earnest manner asserting her innocence"

PUTRIT SORE TnRoAT.-Thisis is a disease, saws
the Bee, which many children in the State
are now laboring under and not few have
died from its effects and it seems to battle
the skill of the medical fraternity. For the
benefit, therefore, of those who NAV be at
tackled by it, we copy the following receipt
published in the Placerville Democrat OF
Saturday, by H. A. Cagwin, of that place
whose children were suffering from n putrid
sore throat. and were effectually cured by il.
1t is simple, and even if it fail, it can do no
harm;
conc teacuPful of honey, one table Spoon
tul of gunpowder, a piece of burut alum as
large as hickory NUT and pulverized, and
the whole mixed together A tea-spoonful
taken occasionally, will most etfectuaily cure
the prevailing sore throat, canker rash' scar
let fever or whatever term e medical fra
ternty choose to call it. 1t is a simple and
effectual remedy, and should be generally
known; and though simple in the ingredients
is allpowerful to check and cure this most
dangerous disease, so fatal to many children
in this neighborhood and throughout the
State"
Better than the above though, is to en-
ploy good doctor as soon as the child is at
tackled.

A FALSE CHARGE.-The San Francisco Ma
tional, referring to the NATIONAL DEMOCRAT,
says, "the paper in question uses the name of
Douglas to blind its readers to the true ma
ture of the cause in which it is engaged, that
of Broderick Black Republicanism.
We would respectfully inform Mr. George
Washington, of the National, and the whole
Custom House fraternity at his back, that
this paper is engaged in no such cause, as its
course has already shown and will hereafter
demonstrate and we would thank them. in
their remarks relative to us and our course
to conhne themselves to the courtesy which
is due between respectable journalists. The
imputation of Black Republicansm to us is
as injurious as it is unfounded. A fear to ex-
press our sentiments has never been one of
our failings, and were we Republican, we
would not hesitate a moment to avow it. As
we are not Republican, we recognize the
right of no man to say that we are. We de-
sire to treat our contemporaries with courtesy,
and shall demand the like treatment.
