A CASE OF SUPPOSED DRUGGING.-The stea
mer Antelope, which arrived from Sacramen
to last night, brought down drugged man,
named Joseph Martin; into whose condition
some investigation ought to be made. 1t ap-
pears that when the boat was about leaving
the wharf at Sacramento, Martin went or was
brought on board. In short time he be,
came perfectly unconscious, and so remained
until the boat arrived here this morning
Captain Poole this morning gave the man
over into the hands of special officer Smith
who took him to the Franklin House, but
they refused to receive him there. He then
carried him to the City Hall, with the inten.
ton of having him admitted into the hospi.
tai; but it appeared that that establishment
was full, and no permit would be granted.
There was also no place in the station house
for the man, and the officer complained that
no doctor could be procured to attend TO him
without pay. 1t was supposed that Martin
had been drugged and robbed at Sacramento;
and persons approaching him yesterday re.
marked a smell something like chloroform
about his clothes At last accounts the otfi-
Ger was about carrying the man to the steps
of the hospital and leaving him there. The
man properly belongs to Sacramento.-Bnt-

The Overland Mail arrived here at five
minutes to 10 o'clock, with dates from St
Louis to Oct Ilth; left Fort Smith on Oct
10; three passengers from Fort Yuma, but
none through.
The Missouri Republican announced, with
great enthusiasm, the arrival of the first

plished. What has hitherto been regarded
as visionary and speculative enterprise has
been established beyond all doubt and St

within twenty-four days travel ofeach other
on stage line, and a route which will ad-

This, | said, was surely indicative of dispo-

of the fact has been presented within the few

wholly in wheat or oats, specie being nearly

three-eighths of an inch long, through which
