The Mountain Fleet.

The American Fur Company's expe-
dition for the Rocky Mountains left
St. Louis some days since. The light
draft steamers Spread Eagle, Chippe-
wa and Key West constituted their
fleet. They are bound for Fort Ben
ton, the head of navigation on the
Missouri. The Spread Eagle will as
cend the river to the mouth of the
Yellow Stone, and the other boats tc
the Falls of Missouri. The Expedi
ton was fitted out by Messrs. Pierre
Chouteau Jr & Co. The occasion is
the transportation of about 400 Off
GERS and soldiers of the I. 5. Army
by the northern route to Oregon and
Washington Territory. 1t is the larG-
est expedition that ever started from
st. Louis for the far Northwest. 1t
was last year first demonstrated that
the Missouri river could be navigated
by steamboats, a distance of 5000
miles from its mouth, and there is NJ
doubt the present trip of the steamer:
named above will be successful.

Wanderers Rewarded.

President Buchanan has acquired
for himself a most uncnviablc notoric
ty for giving office to men whose
skirts are stained with blood, and
whose sole Recommendation was, that
LkIIcy were ever ready to butcher a,
the beck of party. Here is the "black
list :"
Very recently, Calhoun Benham
who was the second of Judge Terry
in the late duel with Broderick, and
aided both in the planning and cxecu
ton of that deliberate and abomina
BILE murder, has been made District
Attorney of California.
S. w. Clark murdered Thomas Bar
bour, during the Kansas war, by shoot
ing him in the back. He was made
q Purscr in the Navy.
James Gardiner, an abettor OF
Clark's in that murder, was made
Postmaster at Lawrence.
Frederick Emery, who murdered
Phillips at Leavenworth, and headed
the band which murdered poor Ger
man laborer, in that town, and muir
dered and scalped Hops, was made
Receiver of the Land Office at Ogden
j. S. Murphy, who murdered Hops
and scalped him, was made agent Of
the Pottawottomic Indians.
Rush Elmore, who tried to assassi
nate kagi, was made Judge Of the
| United States Court at X ansas.

Horace Greeley was authorized to
cast the vote of Oregon in the con
vcntion. He has all along harborcd
some malice towards Seward, and
therefore went in" vigorously for
Bates. He went so far as to write
and print a document at Chicago, be-
fore the organization of the conven.
tiop, setting forth the claims of Bates
in opposition to the great commoner
of his own State When he next calls
on the Seward men throughout the
Union to patronzc his Tribune, they
will be likely to rccollcct this Labor
of love" of Mr.. Greeley's.
In their room at the fremont, the
Missouri delegation displayed NAM
moth Bowie knife-thc blade and ham
die being each three feet or more in
length On the blade was inscribed,
Presented to John F. Potter, by the
Republicans of Missouri" 1t attract
ed much attention.
The New York delegation brought
with them a costly silk banner, bear
ing likeness of Mr.. Seward, and be-
meath was an extract from his recent
great speech.
A Geographic despatch informed
Mr.. Seward of the nomination Of Lin
coln, when he promptly answered that
he cordially endorsed the nomination.
and promised to stump the State of
Illinois in behalf of his successful ri
val.
A Chicago paper declared that all
Wisconsin was there, and that on
board one train of twcnty-six cars
there arrived $500 Wiscon-sixaers.
A cannon had been raised to the top
of the fremont House, and immedi-
ately upon the adjournment Of the
Convention one hundred guns were
fred in honor of the nominations.

Incidents of the Chicago Convention.

Special trains of cars were run
from Buffalo to Chicago, both over
the Canada and Lake Shore routes
The Lake Shore cars came into Chi
cago in fifteen minutes less time than
those of the Michigan Central road,
but not without disabling two engines
on the route. Dcducting stoppages,
the time made was over 40 miles an
hour for the entire distance. Some
twenty thousand people had collected
on Michigan Avenue to witness the
arrival of the New Englandcrs by the
Michigan Central road, and at "A little
past nine o'clock, Monday evening,
the train was signalled by firing a
rocket. 1t came slowly into the de.
pot amid the huzzas of the people,
the display of fireworks and the
booming of cannon, and landed scvc-
raj thousands of genuine Republican
Yankees, who at once proceeded to
their lodgings at the various hotels.
The number of editorial applications
for seats on the platform exceeded
900, while the seats set apart for the
use Of reporters on the platform was
only 60. Places were provided for
editors and altcrnatcs in the body of
the Hall capable of containing 500
men, bnt the application exceeded
1900. No building on the American
continent could have accommodated
the mighty mass Of Republicans who
desired to obtain admittancc. The
| Wigwam will hold about 10000, much
more than any other audience room in
| America. =
The Iowa delegation hal their head
quarters at the fremont House. Be
fore the opening Of the Convention
they organized by appointing w.
Penn Clark chairman, and took "A bal

Of asccrtaining how they stood in

The Latest DiabOlism.

If il had been the deliberate intention
of the "old public functionary" who
occupies the position of President OF
the United States to disgust the pco
pie of this country by a long and sys
tematic course of imbccility and ini
guilty combined, he could not have
chosen a course better calculated to
obtain his ends than his past and pres
ent action on all questions that hav"
come before him.
The last act either of deliberate IN
iquity or ignorant imbecillty OF which
the President of the United States has
been guilty, is the appointment OF
Benham, first assistant murderer OF
David C. Broderick, to the office OF
District Attorney for California. This
man, the violator of the laws OF his
country, the scorn Of all honorable
men, is honored by the President, and
rewarded with the Office of public
prosecutor of the laws. Historians
will wonder whether James Buchanan
was such heartless villain as not to
care for public opinion, or so much Of
doting imbecile as not to know the
effects of his acts.
1t is one of the customs of the due
for a second of each combatant to ex
anime the body of the other princl
pal. in order that no coat of mail OIL

Benham with alacrity stepped forwar
to do this pleasant office, and fell u

insult.
1t is we'll known that the Buchana
= administration entertained dead'
! hatred of Senator Broderick, viii
- living but few were prepared to b
lieve that the feeling could endure &
ter he had been laid in his BLOOD
grave, nor that the President of Il
United States would so deliberate
outrage public decency and popul
opinion as to confer lucrative al
responsible Office upon one of the dcs
Senator's murderers!

Great Battle in Mexico.

By an arrival at New Orleans We
have intelligence of great battle at
San Luis Potosi between the Reaction
lists and Liberals. The latter were vic
torious. The second corps Of Mira
mon were cut to pieces. Eighteen
pieces of artillery and l,0Oe prisoners
were taken, together with all the bag
gage, ammunition and stores. Gen
La Vega, Chief Commander, and many
other officers were among the prison
crs. A large number of the Jaurez
officers proceeded to Vera Cruz to ar

watched with most intense interest,
especially toward the last, the crowd
becoming silent as the contest mar
rowed down, when, before the result
was announced, Mr.. Carter, of Ohio,
stated that Ohio wished to change her
vote from 2 to % for Lincoln, which
gave him majority. The announce

Several changes of votes then took
place. Massachusetts gave Lincoln
