st. Louis dates to the 3rd of January,
reached San Francisco by the Southern
Overland Mail on Tuesday the 25th inst.
The news by previous arrival, that the
authorities of Cuba had called upon French
assistance in anticipation Of a revolution
among the people Of theislands, and land
ing of fillibusters, turns out to be incorrect.
The message of the President had occas-
stoned great excitement in Havana but this
does not afford basis for belief that revo-
lutonary movement is intended.
Telegraphic reports from New Orleans to
December 3lst state that private advices
coafirm positively that eight hundred Amer
leans are in Cuba ready to aid the Revolu-
tionsts. All of them have gone with regu-
lar passports.
1t is reported here that emigration to Gu
ba has been going on quietly and legally for
months past. 1t is supposed that the emf
grants have been invited by the revolution
lists on the island. A secret agent of the
Government is here, but he detects no illegal
emigration.
The st. Louis papers continue to be filled
with glowing accounts of the Pike'ss Peak
and Cherry Creek mines.
At Washington tits proposed there should
be caucus of Southern members of Con-
gress from States bordering on the Gulf and
others, irrespective of party, favorable to a
decisive policy with regard to Mexico, to
urge upon the Administration the necessity
of promptly selling the present opportunity
to improve our relations with Mexico, and
to extend our influence over that country.
The time is considered most favorable, and
ought not to be lost by delay.
The Pacific Railroad is considered one of
the cards for the present session of
Congress-; the great trouble is to agree
upon the plan of Government aid and
the route of the road.
