find in the St. Louis Democrat of Monday details
of the news already published by telegraph. That
paper says
From an interview with Mr.. :. L. TIousewright
a passenger from Santa Fp, we learn the following
concerning the routes, &c. The mail which lett
Santa Fe by the regular route on the 10Th Of Sep
tem6er, was stopped by the Indians at Pawnee
Fork, and it was found necessary to strike south.

station at Fort Smith.
On the oath Of September the conductor and
driver Of the Santa Fe train were killed by the
Indians at Pawnee Fork. One genteman-a pas

them, wounding and causing him to fall Several
of his comrades gathered around him to minister

the passenger availed himself of the opportunity
to make good his escape.
Seven or eight passengers, who started frOm
Santa Fe by the Northern route had got rs far rs
Pawnee Fork, but were compelled t. return and
strike across the country for FL PaSO, to take the
California overland stages. They met with so
many unlriendy manifestations from the Indians
that they had abandoned the idea of coming north
ward, and about to proceed via San Ant0nia
to New Orleans.
On the 18th of September, about forty miles east
of the Pachos, on the Overland route, the Indians
killed two young men employed at building sta
tion for the Overland Company. These maraudcrs
encamped in large numbers on the east of this
river, and seem determined TO steal and kill all

Almost all the stock had been stolen from the

The roads are in tolerably good condition, but the
northern winds, which blew very bard. rendered
the trip unpleasant. The drivers and conductors
Of the Overland route had intimacd their intrn-
ton to quit the service fearing lest they lose their
lives at the hands OF the Indian dc-peradoes.
When the last mail left Santa rc it was quite
cold there, and very deep snow had fallen upon
the mountains in that locality.
The San Francisco Times contains the following
item:
The overland news received in this citv yes
terday was telegraphed from new place Pocleco
Pass, near llolIenbeck's ranch-twentv-hve miles
beyond Gilroy, and one hundred and ten from this
city. The operator held the machine in his lap,
and was seated on box, with the Eastern papers
spread before him on the ground in the open air.--
Thus the lines of the Atlantic and Pacific Telegraph
Company are creeping eastward little by little,
every day adding from two to four miles to its
length. The enterprise, about which we have all
thought, talked, and written much, is already

INDIAN lNyAsIoN,-There We're rumors in Tubac
few days before the departure of the mail, of
tcmplated invasion of that town by the Cayat"ro
Indians. courier was Immediately despatched TO
warn the people Of Tubac and they in turn sent to
Fort Buchanan for aid, which YVES at once granted,
and some twenty-five men sent down under

SPAIN AND MOROCCo.-The expedition which III
Spanish Government has fitted out TO operate
against Morocco, delayed lately BY negotiation with
the new Emperor, according to the latest accounts
is about tn proceed. Its immediate object is the
province of the ltil mountainous district incu
ding that part of the coast Immediately adjacent to
the Straits of Gibraltar. Like most Of the noun
famous districts Of Morocco, the ltili inhabited by
a wild race who profess certain allegiance to the
| Shirt Of Morocco in his character a descendant
of the prophet but who pay him in his character
temporal ruler but very limited obedience. 1t
Is not surprising, therefore, that he has declined to
become responsible for the good behavior OF
these people, but has lett the Spanish
Government to right its wrongs. The
inhabitants of the Rif still carry on upon q small
scale that system Of mountain robbery for which
the whole north African coast wa formerly So in
famous. In boats Of rude construction, they con
ceal themselves among the steep rocks which jUt
out into the sea, with the view Of surprising
chant vessels on their passage through the Straits;
and if pursued, they take refuge in the neighbor
ing mountains, where it is difficult to follow them
OF late they have made inroads into the small tract
Of territory attached to the fortress of Cruta,
which belongs to the Spaniards and it is to
venge punish these inroads that the present eX
pedition is undertaken. Perhaps, however, the
Spaniards, instead OF pursuing the pirates Of the
Riff through their tastnesSeS, will prefer to seize
and hold the city of Tangers. 1t is not very likely
that, after the costly experience OF the French in
Algeria, the Spaniards will aspire to any great eX
tent OF African conqucst.--N J. I''"""e.
