The Overland Mail at St Louis brings dates

Considerable excitement existed in Eastern
California on account of the reports from the
ella gold mines. A great many persons were
tiocking to the neighborhood of Fort Yuma
from both sides. About $50 were at present
encamped near there. Most of the miners are
prospecting along the ella for $50 miles, and
reports are current that gold is to be found
throughout that extent
AT Los Angeles the excitement was very
great, and many of the inhabitants were pre-
pairing to emigrate to the ella
a letter in the San Francisco Herald of Dec.
Il, puts different face on these gold rumors.
The writer describes the ella country as a
barren and unlnviting region says that min
ing is poor speculation, but adds
we have some good news and some bad

The Suffer grant has now been confirmed by
the Land Commissioners by the District

wise, the case will be finally closed.

The San Francisco Herald thus sums I'D the
profit and loss account:
l. That nearly all the gold dug in New Co
lumbia has been brought to California.
2 That the gross amount will scarcely ex
coed half a million of dollars.
3. That for the space of six months ont of
the nine that the Frazer River mines have been
worked, at least ten thousand miners, of all
sorts and classes, were engaged in the opera
ton.
4. That during the other three months, not
less than two thousand persons were so en-
ployed.
Leaving the last mentioned class entirely
out OF the question, and throwing in the result
OF their labors, we shall have a return of $50
to each miner Of the ten thousand for his six
months hard work. Then reckon expenses

passed upon him on the 18th November But
the condemned man seems bound to prove

lodged an appeal against the sentence, he says;
No power in France has the right to remit
penalty which is not defnitive. am one of
those who believe in right, and will accept no
favor" This is more placLy than is generally
evinced by Frenchmen; and we cannot say
that Montalembert is not legally correct. The
Upper Court, on the appeal may reverse the
sentence without any assistance from the EN-
peror.

The RAILROADS RUNNING FROM BosToN.-
The dividends Of the railroads running from
Boston, have all been announced as follows
Maine, three and half per cent. Providence,
Boston and Worcester, Lowell, Fitchburg, and
Old Colony, each threeper cent. The Eastern
will pay no dividend, but it is understood
that its Indebtedness has been greatly reduced,
so that ere long it will again take its position
among dividend-paying roads The Worces-
ter, and Boston and Maine Railroads, have
never omitted dividends, nor paid less than
six per cent. per annum. The Old Colony,
Providence, Lowell and Fitchburg, appro-
priated their net income for while to the pay
ment Of their liabilities, and the wisdom of this
course is now seen in the present strong posi-
ton Of those corporations In one matter, rail
road managers appear to have gained wisdom :;
they now resolutely set their faces against
branches, and no increase of these improbable
adjuncts will probably be made for years to
come. The Horse Railroads passing out of
Boston, in the few cases where they run paral-
lei with railroads, do not appear to have ma
terially affected the receipts of the steam rail
roads, except in one or two cases in the imme-
diate vicinity, and, upon the whole, are not
considered in the light of formidable rivals
