The following very interesting news, which give a succinct account of the operation of Gen. KEAnSkY's division of the army, is contained in the evening edition of the St. Louis Ddiiy Uaion, of the 18th inst.

 Capt Fitzpatrick arrived here last evening, from Gen. kearney's camp, bearing impor- laut despatches from the Pacific. From him we gather the following information:

 When Gen. kearney was abont l75 miles south of Santa Fe, on the Rio Grande, near the place whence he would take a western direction for California, he met a company of sixteen persons who had been sent for ward by Commodore Stockton, with des- patches for the Government; also for Gen K. From them il was learned that the American flag was flying over every town in Upper and Lower California. Those provinces were occupied by our troops. The Mexi- can Governor and forces had been driven out. and were pursued as far as the head of the Gulf of California. They succeeded in es- caping across the Colorado. Commodore Stockton has five U. s. vessels with him, and is in entire command of the coast. which he keeps vigorously blockaded. Col. Fremont is provisional Governor of the Californians The Mexicans captured two Americans, one of whom was MT. Cowie. of Si. Louis. and Aayed them to death, No further difficulty Is apprehended in California, as the whole country is now in possession of American.

 The route to California which General K. selected, is very difficult. The distance to the nearest California settlement is six hun dred and fifty miles. There is great scarcity of water and forage on the road The com pany that brought in the despa,ches, was on the road thirty-one days. l, took with il fifty mules, in good condition for the trip, but all, save eighteen had been lost, from the scarcity ofeva,er and grass. In consequence of the information brought to Gen. kearney, he ordered back to Santa Fe all of the dra- goons, except one hundred, and, ayailing himself of the services Of the company tha. h ad just traversed the route, he gaze to Capt. Fitzpatrick the Government despalches, with directions to proceed 10 Washington without delay. Captains Turner, Johnson, and Moore; Lieuis. Hammond, and Love; Capt Emory, of the Typographical Engineers !; Major Swords, Quartermaster; and Dr. Griffin, Surgeon, accompany General kearney to California.

 Capt Fitzpatrick stopped at Sania Fe osfy one day. The troops were in good health Although some apprehensions had been felt about provisions, Capt. r. sassfhere will be an ample supply, as he met provision trains along the entire route. Ali oi the volunteers, except the deiachmehi undes Major Gilpin, near Taos, and that under Lieut.. Col, Jack son. were stationed al Santa Fe. There is a general lack of discipline, and confusion has prevailed ever since Gen. K. left Lieut. Col Jackson had me, the Navagoes and Apaches, but they refused to make treaty. He sent back io Santa Fe tor sufficient reinforcement to enable hm to make a vigorous compaigG against those hostile tribes. No news had been received from Chihuahaa. Col. Dopi- phan was to proceed to that place to join Gen. Wool. Col Price was to leave Santa fe on the l7th October, .or California. He would lake with hi,a only i50 men, and select different route from thai taken by Gen. Kearney. Captain Hudson had been ordered to disband the California Ram gers, and resume the command of his former company. The Mermons were 10 leave SaniasFe on the ,l7lh, under command of Col Coke, and would follow Gen. K. by the southern route. There. were more troops at Santa Fe than were needed, and some diff rrl'y WIS ex?eyiegced in dis?osins of then, fer the winter, &<s .'

 On his way in, Captain Fitzpatrick met Colonel Thompson, on the Cimarone, 300 miles from Santa Fe, He had recovered most of his horses, and would proceed on his route si.hon, delay, Hia horses had nol been stolen, as previously reported, but flost in a staFlpeds. The gsass along ih, Sauia Fe trace had been est.seay eossumed
