/ INTELLIGENCE.
ST. JosEPH, Nov. 5.-The Pony Express reached
here this morning, with news to, and including,
| the oath October.
The Pony Express, bringing the result of the
! PENNSYLVANIA election, arrived at San Francisco
| 22d. The news received by telegraph on the
Dist 1t produced a marked sensation in political
| circles, rendering the Republicans exceedingly ju.
bilant, whilst the friends of the other candidates
were in despair The Republicans are now putting
| forth great efforts to carry the State.
bet was made yesterday of $4,000 to S3 900
that Lincoln would carry California and another
of So 900 against s., 900 that Lincoln will get more
votes than Breckenridge.
Senator Baker, from Oregon, has been grated
with immense crowds since entering upon campaign
| duty in this State.
| a new canvass of the probable condition of the
next Legislature elicts the fact, that seventeen
| Senators hold from last year, and will be
members of the next Senate. OF these, eleven sup
| port Douglas, four Breckenridge, and two Lincoln.
1t is thought impossible for Senator win to seCurs
enough new members to the Legislature under these
circumstances, to gain even reasonable chance of
| reelection.
Lieutenant Colonel B. L. Beall, of the First Dra-
goOns, u >. A. has arrived In San Francisco, and
has assumed the command of the California dv-
sion, in the place of General Clark, deceased.
| There was quite an extensive fire in the village
of Oakland on the opposite side of the bay from
| San Francisco last evening, destroying entire
square of wooden buildings. The loss is heavy, but
| the amount has not been ascertained
An effort was making at Los Angeles to push for
ward the telegraph on the Butterteld route from
| that place to the Colorado, party having sub
scribed $4,000 for the purpose. This was before
news was received of the intention of the eastern
companies to build their lines to California by the
central or Salt Lake route.
| Accounts from Washoe state that a new tun
| mel eleven hundred feet long had been completed,
striking the Comstock lead two hundred feet below
the surface, at which depth the ore taken yields
81, 200 per ton. This is an important test of the
extent of the lead, and holders of shares in the up
per, Mexican, central and other claims on that
lead are much elated.

tative to Congress and rendering nugatory the re
cent Congressional election, was returned from the
Senate with amendments to the House, which re-
fused to concur In two amendments and agreed to

complish the object intended

earnest. The Echo of the 9th says
, Sugar making has become quite general in thi
parish The yield so far is below the anticpations

Col. Claiborne, whose cane is yielding nearly two
hogsheads per acre, we learn that the yield ha:
scarcely exceeded, on an average, half a hogshead
The samples of sugar exhibited to US of fail

Will not grind, and those who so fortunate as
