The Union treating of the origin and OBJ,
jet Of the overland msa route" says:
During the hrst half Of the frst month Of the
new admin istration. the whole subject was fully
and carefully considered by the Postmaster Gen
eral, to whom IL was committed. Months Of Ia
oorous examination were spent upon IL. After
patiently considering all these, and giving due
weight, as he believed, to whatever had been
advanced, the Postmaster general presented three
questions 10 the President. Shall the discre-
ronary power establishing an overland mall,
conferred by Cong ress, be exercised, IL so, by
what route, Shall otksy overland routes than
the one specially provided for by Congress be
established by the Postmaster General under his
general authority 10 do so u The frst question
the President decided IN the affirmative The
other two were referred to the Postmaster Gen.
eral. That officer finally recommended that the
route should be from San F rancisco to a point on
the Arkansas river, and that there the route
should branch one branch should run TO St.
Louis to accommodate the central and north
western States, and the other should run to Men,
phfs, to accommodate the southern States. This
recommendation was closely examined by the
President, and adopted
The object Of the overland mail was to settle
every fertile spot along its route from San F ran
cisco to ST Louis, and to Memphis.

FRoM SALT rAKE-The "a Il Lake mail with
dates ofthe 25th OF september, reached st. Joseph
on the 18th Sixty trains had passed Fort Bridg
erup to the I'D ult. twenty were on the Sweet
water, and eight more north Of the crossing Of
the Platte. Snow was encountered east Of Fort
Laramie. Two companies Of cavalry returning
via Pixies Peak, were passed on the Big Blue-
Judge Eckel was met on the Big Sandy. Col
Wilson was at O'FaIlon's bluff, progressing fine
ly. The Indians were numerous but peaceable
Ii was feared several trains would he oyertakefR
by snow in the mountains.
Business was very brisk at Salt Lake. Trains
were constantly arriving from California with
goods and provisions. There was good feeling
between the Mormons and Gentiles.
General Johnston's command consists of 7 900
to go men, including troops and EMPLOYEES, all
ofwhom were consolidated IN one grand encamp-
ment, and would remain together during the
winter. There was also about 4 ,OO0 at oTt Bird
ger, under Col. Cambrey. Col. Morrison of the
Seventh infantry. had arrived at Camp Floyd
FRox MExIco.-New Orleans papers contain
the partic Of the defeat of Viduarri by Mira
mon. The former wa not on the neld when the
engagement commenced, and his army appears
10 have been attacked when least apprehenssye
and prepared for IL.
The :umors at b Brownsville were that tina de-
fsated army lost five hundred men killed, and
that two thOus1hd Of them Were taken prisoners
with their artillery aid provisions. An express
from Monterey to Matamoras, however, says their
loss was not so great, and that only a portion of
the artillery and munitions were captured by
Miramon's forces, and that the liberal party made
their retreat from the field ingood order.
An oracial paper received at Monterey saws
that Vidaurri has already sent orders to the com.
nander Of Tampico for another park of artillery
Cwhere there is plenty to be had ID which will
soon be in the field, together with the many
forces concentrating about yiduarri, to renew the
attack. Colonel Guadalupe Garcia was to leave
fampieo on the I'd instant for the interior, with
three hundred infantry and three pieces Of artil-
lery.
