ARRIVAL OF THE UTAH MAIL.

ST. Joseph Correspondence Of the ST. Louis Republican
The mail train arrived from Utah on the 23d, I'M
der Mr. Benjamin j. Rupe, conductor.
Gov. Cumming and family, and indeed all the
United States officers and troops, were well. The
weather was fine, the crops good, though suffer-
ing from neglect, and the wheat of most superior
quality. Peace and plenty everywhere prevailed,
and there is danger of any further difficulty in
that quarter.
On the other end of the route, Mr.. Rupe drove
one team of mules 1S5 miles in two days. He made
such haste in anticipation of detention from high
waters as he approached the States. At Cotton
wood Spring he saw Gen. Harney's command.
The Government Express had reached there with
the late army orders, and about to return. A
band of Sioux were encamped not far from Gen.
Harvey.
Mr.. Rupe soon after met heavy rains, which con-
tinued at intervals all the way in. He but few
buffalo. The grasses were luxuriant on the entire
route. The Bear, the Weber and North Platte
Rivers had been bridged by General Johnston, and
he had no difficulty in crossing them but he had to
swim the Walnut, the South Platte. and the Nema-
ha, at the latter of which streams he was detained
twelve hours by the food. Notwithstanding the
rains, high waters and bad roads, he made the trip
in twenty days. There three passengers,
Howard Livingston, of Salt Lake City, Robert A.
Duncan, of Platte, and L. j. Thomas, of Jackson
County.

AUSTRALIAN SILK.-We learn from the Australian
and New Zealand Gazette, that hopes are enter
tanned in the colony of Victoria of new branch of
export of novel character. 1t is stated that ma
tive variety fthe silk worm may be found in the
bush of this colony, cingng in countless swarms to
the shrub which forms its food. The worm is en-
closed in dark-colored cocoon, the exterior of
which is of extraordinary toughness and encoses a
quantity of yelowish silk. The staple of this, both
as regards its fneness and length, has been pro-
nounced by manufacturing house in Glasgow, by
best European worms specimens Of the silk were
forwarded some time back to the Melbourne Cham
Der of Commerce. Reliable authorities state that
there is no assignable limit to the quantity of CO.
coons that may be gathered in a favorable locality
A box as large a small tea chest was filled with
them in about ten minutes and it is calculated that
two hours devoted to the work of collection would
afford enough to yield lbs. of raw silk. If this
opinion be borne out by actual experiment the en-
poyment would be highly remunerative, for the
present price of the material is nearly los per h.

MAN IN A WELL-THE WALLS GAZING IN
TWICE-TWO OF HIS LIBERATORS Gov

From the Boston Daily Advertiser 31st1
In South Natick on Tuesday morning last. Mr.
Nelson Travers, who had contracted to build brick
well for new house, and had dug to the depth of
seventeen feet, ascertaned that water would soon
be reached, began to lay part of the bricks about
half-past eight O'clock to be sunk as the well was
dug deeper He had worked but short time. when
the earth, which was of sandy kind, fell upon him.
1t did not entirely his body, and being pow
erful man, he succeeded in extricating himself ex
cept one leg; His assistant, who had remained at
the mouth of the well, then gave the alarm. The
meeting house bell was rung, and in short time
almost every able-bodied man, and many ladies'
came to his assistance. A headless cask was let
down, with which Mr.. Travers prevented any accu-
mutation of sand upon him. Under direction of Mr..
Hammond, of North Natick, an experienced we'll
digger and Mr.. Asa Caswe, of South Natick, car
penter, the people set to work with hearty good
will, as many as could work to advantage being
relieved by fresh gangs at short periods.
When he was almost extricated second slide
took place and buried the man up to his mouth.
But the work of liberation was pushed forward
with vigor; the underpinnng of the house, distant
only few feet, and unfinished chimney with
the earth between them and the well, were removed
and the man was liberated about o'clock in the
afternoon, although about Is minutes previously
another slide had partially covered two or three of
his liberators with sand Through all these DELAYS
Mr.. Travers showed undaunted courage, giving di-
rections to facilitate his release and taking re-
freshment when it could be got to him. While his
he, having previously loosened the earth inside the
cask, filled with earth tin kettle, which could
barely be passed, and which was raised and lowered
by friend, thus aiding his liberation.
One OF his most serious injuries was occasioned
by the accidental fall of tackle-block upon his
of recovery, and would probably be about in few
DAYS,

TROUBLE BETWEEN AMERICAN MACKEREL SCHooNERs
AND CANADIAN FIsHERMEN.-A letter to the Courier
du Canada, written from Percy, the 18th inst,
complains that ffty-one American schooners, en-
ployed in mackerel fishing, had anchored on the
9Th inst in Percy Bay, within two cable lengths of
the shore, among the nets of the Canadian fisher
men, causing them infinite damage. Not content
with this, their crews paraded the streets of the
village in drunken and disorderly condition, at
lacking and beating in most most cruel manner
inoffensive fishermen. The Courier is of opinion
that official statement of these facts will at once
be laid before his excellency, and that the imperial
executive should Immediately apply to the Ameri-
can government for redress

THE YELLOW FEvER.-The ship Competitor ar
rived from Havana and Key West in ballast on
Monday She reported no cases of sickness on
board or during the passage, and was permitted to
anchor in the lower bay. On Wednesday she was
visited by DR.. Gillette, who found three of her
men sick with yellow fever. They were conveyed
to the Marine Hospital, where one of them has
since died; the others are in a very low state. On
investigation twas ascertained that the Competi-
tor left Swallow, China, for Havana, about the lat
ter part of March with sos coolies on board. few
days after leaving Swallow disease, either yellow
out among the passengers, of which III coolies
died. Most of the deaths occurred before reaching
St. Helena, where the vessel stopped for water.
The ship had no physician. The sufferings of the
poor coolies are said to have been heartrending.-

The ERIE RAILROAD AccIDENT-The American
Railroad Journal says that the real cause of the
late accident upon the Erie Railroad is to be found
in the want of correspondence between the super
structure and the weight of the locomotives. The
engine by which the accident was occasioned, has a
weight Of nearly AZ 900 pounds the drivers, and
was going at forty miles an hour As the concus-
sion increases as the squares of speed, the force
upon the rail may readily be imagined.

The great eclipse of the Sun, which occurs on the

the attention of the scientific world. We see it
stated that wealthy citizen of Massachusetts, has
furnished the necessary funds to pay the expenses
of party of astronomers to South America to take
scientific observations the occasion The English
government has offered facilities for her astrono-
mers and scientific men for like purpose, and the
company of English merchants owning the line of
steamers on the South American coast, has giyen
directions for the free passage of Lieut. j. NJ ellis
of the United States Navy, to Peru, that accom-
plished officer having been selected to take obserya
tions by the Smithsonian Inititution. He will
leave for the scene of his labors on the 5th of
August Lieut.. G. is well known to all students of
science from his connection with the astronomical
expedition to Chill, in which he performed his
arduous duties in manner that secured for him
the unqualified commentator of the Government.
Men of Science and Professors of Astronomy from
Europe will also be present at the principal points
of observation in Peru, and there be but little
doubt that the interests of science will be greatly
advanced through the results obtained by so emf
