Mr.G.came with high claims to public favor.

He had passed through the Mexican war with honor; he had discharged high public trust in California with such fidelity and skill as won for him a distinguished reputation.

He was the friend, and almost the neighbor, of the incoming President, James Buchanan, and he enjoyed the confidence of the outgoing President, Franklin Pierce; and was closeted with him and with his Secretary of State, Mr.Marcy, before leaving Washington.

That nothing might be wanting to his success, he spent a day at Jefferson City, Mo., with Gov.

Sterling Price, and with him arranged to have the blockade removed from the Missouri River.
Mr.Geary met at Glasgow, Mo., the retiring ex-Governor, and Dr.Gihon reports that he was fleeing in terror that his life would be taken by the men for whom he had been such an abject tool.
While these parting ceremonies were being performed a steamboat bound down the river, and directly from Kansas, came along side the Keystone.
