ST. Joseph, Mo-, on the 18th, says that town
is full of the " Peakers," and that little
rats OF mules sell for $50" Hundreds of
persons are starting for the mines ON foot,
g with nothing but cotton sack and few
pounds of crackers and meat, and many
with hand-carts and wheelbarrows." The
"expresses are thus described;
There are expresses going out nearly
every day but such expresses Four little
mules to one common Chicago wagon
They take one hundred pounds of baggage
apiece for twelve men, and charge them $50
apiece for the privilege of wading after the
wagon and pulling it out of the mud.

EVANSVILLE. IND. THURSDAY MORNING. MARCH "a, 1859

A SMART LEGIsLAToR.-The Springfield
(Mass.) Republican tells a story of member
of the Bay State Legislature from one of the
towns in the county of which Springfield is
the county seat If Massachusetts, makes
choice of such men for law makers, we shall
feel relieved in some degree of the mortifi-
cation suffered at sight of the specimens of
Legislative wisdom that occasionally turn up
in Heosierdom
Some years ago, when a young and grew
ing lawyer of the town read "The Declara-
ton of Independence at a Fourth of July
celebration, our select man and representa-
tive to the general court was asked what he
thought of the performance. "Good," said
he" good enough-but Gillettee never
writ that ere speech, 'taint his n more than
nothing-and I'll bet dollar Bates wrote
it for him. When the same individual
came home from the general court, it was
spring-time, and there was great swell
among the cenntry brooks and rivera
good deal of ''fresh, as they say down south,
which was the theme of remark in circle
whereof he was, of course then and there
the central figure. Thus he delivered him.
SELF "This aint nothing to what see in
Boston, | went down to the wharf one
morning and the water was clean down
you could see the mud all around. went
down agin towards night, and the water'd
riz mour' twenty feet" "Well, how did you
account for it? did you have any rain -
I" Rain, said he, "no, not id drop of
rain there. | suppose they Nigh O had a
little shower up north somewhere" We
move that man be discharged from further
public service, until his constituents can af-
ford to buy him " capacity" .f +

Overland mail to the Odd arrived last even

The Agricultural Fair at Sacramento was
largely attended from all parts of the State
Crowds of politicians congregated there and
the canvass for successor to Senator Brod-
erick, has already commenced. Gen. Denver
and Gov. Weller appear to be the strongest
candidates at present, but at least half doz-
en- others are striving for the place.
Broderick's estate was valued at $3.50, 900,
which is encountered to the amount of 1885,
900. He left no will and it was supposed no
relations but two persons in San Francisco,
named Edmund WEIGH and Lucy Brown
claim the estate, being, as they assert, cou-
sins in the second degree.
The Pacific Railroad Convention, composed
of delegates from all the Pacific States and
Territories, is in session in San Francisco,
and is very largely attended. Jno. Bidwel.,
of Cal, President, and Edward Lander, of
Washington Territory, and Alex. Pankey, of
Oregon, Vice Presidents. A vast amount of
statistics and arguments in favor of various
routes and in favor of the road itself, com
prises the substance of the proceedings thus
far, but it believed that some action to build
the California portion of the road will be re-
commended before the Convention adjourned.
Captain Simpson and party had reached
Leavenworth yesterday morning from Cali
fornia, via Camp Floyd. The Captain reports
his return route from California to Camp
Floyd better than the outward one. Both
are two hundred and fifty miles shorter than
the Humboldt River route, and much supe-
rior in grades, wood, water and grass.
Simpson, also by direction of Gen. John
stone, explored new pass through Unita
Mountains, which will be shorter than Gunni-
sons route to Camp Floyd by about 100
miles, in case pass is found through the
Rocky Mountains, directly east of the Unita
River, q route will have been obtained shorter
than any now across the plains.
