| Advices by the Overland mail to st. Louis are to /
the 14th of October from San Francisco
| The announcement that Gen. Scott would prob.
| ably arrive at San Francisco by the next steamer
| had occasoned something Of stir among the mill
| tary men there. The Herald says:
Gen. Haven, commanding the I'd brigade of the
"a divsIon, has given orders to his brigade to be
| ready at moments notice to give suitable re-
cepti0n to Gen. Scott. Gen. Haven obtained an
order from Gen. Clarke commanding the California
department Of the Pacific Division, U. s. A., on
capL. Calendar to furnish the pieces of artillery
for the occasion. As soon as the steamer il teIe-
/ graphed whether by day or night the I'd brigade
Of the I'd division will be immediately formed for
the reception Of Gen Scott
The following statement in reference IN t}e Salt
Lake Overland mail is from the Bulletin ~ ).
The Salt Lake Overland Mail.
There IS reason TO fear that the Overland Mail /
via Placeryille and Salt Lake, danger Of seri
interruption, if the service is not entirely sus
pended. Reference has repeatedly been made OF I
late, to the financial embarrassments Of Chorpen-
ming & Co., the contractors. We are informed that
l these embafrassmens have been pending for some
past and would have eliminated some months ago.
except for the interposition of the late Senator
Broderick, who induced party by the name Of
arrival of Maj. Chorpenning from the East. The
Major, however failed to arrive and is still absent.
The line, in the meantime, became indebted to
Jones to the amount Of 100000, to secure which
the latter recently attached the stock Jones, it
appears, ran the mail on the western division Of
the route-that is between the Placeryle and
Grayelly Ford on the Humboldt. The eastern divi-
sion is in the hands of Howard Eagan and other
Mormons, to whom also the line is indebted for
some six months service. 1t is highly probable
that as soon as they hear Of the Jones attachment
Eagan and his associates will also seize upon the
property of the contractors in their hands, and
cease the service altogether.
All Clay street was set agog yesterday afternoon
by the announcement that huge finny denizen Of
the Bay, in the shape Of sea bass was to be seen
in the store Of Messrs Howes Elan. On repair
ing thther we found the store aforesaid filed with
J wonder-stricken crowd gazing at a leyiathan
bass, whose ponderous length lay stretched along
tile floor his dimensions being seven feet and two
inches in length, five feet one inch around the
largest part of the body, and weighing less than
three hundred and sixty pounds The sea-bass,
!, we believe, is seldom known to attain weight ex
ceeding one hundred pounds-so, at least, the fish
t ermen inform us-and thus this fellow, apparently
II the father of all seabass, is indeed Brobdigna
:. gian specimen of his kind.
