san FRANCISCo. Nov. lS.-The Alta Califor-
MIA has news Of the arrival of the expedition
of the Western Union Telegraph Company at
Petropalowski, Russian Siberia, on the 10th of
October. From the time the expedition left
this post everything has worked like charm.
The most sanguine could not have expected to
succeed better. No accidents have happened.
They had landed all the parties necessary to
carry out the expeditions project, and they
had goue to work vigorously. They cannot but
anticipate great results by another year. Ev.
erywhere they have been most cordially re-
ceived, and every assistance has been given
them by all they have met. The expedition
left Sitka Aug. 23d, reaching the Redoubts
Michael Sept. 18th, where they left the major
ity of Kennicutt's party, found for the YOU
keen or Kinepeek River country. The follow

At Michael tney established depot of sup
plies, under charge Q. J. NJ Bean. The party nu =
der Kennicutt took with them the little steamer
| Lizzie IIarner, and were furnished with every
! thing necessary. We have made the rough
and extensive soundings III Norton Sound as
far north as Behring's Straits. There are no
| difficulties in the way. The native tribes in
| Southern Siberia, who, it was feared, might
throw obstacles in our way, seem anxious TO
| assist and express themselves graufed at the
prospect of employment. The party which are
| to asceud the Anadyn river is probably well
advancnd by this time Col Buckley left the
party at Plover Bay with steamer intending
1 to visit the Gulf OF Anadyn, and we learn her Q
of the safe arrival of the Eoga with the party
under Major Abasa, in August, ior the mouth of
! Moon river Mai. Abasa and others left six
weeks ago for the PenjlisS Gun, whence he
| would proceed north if possible to meet the

bound also to the North Inc work is being
most ugorouslv pushed in all directions. Ali

IDENTITY hoped that greater progress may be
made during the coming year
