emigrants across," was the reply. "Well,

With much effort the band of emigrants was raised, and, though they were met by a deputation from the Hudson Bay Company ho declared that it was impossible to cross the mountains and were almost persuaded to abandon their wagons, before the time expired succeeded in their undertaking. The patriotic missionary was vindicated, the treaty was not ratified, and what will doubtless prove to be two of the best of our States were saved for the Union. All honor to the noble man who had the knowledge and courage to appreciate the necessity of makrog an effort to save the Territory. In the Northwestern celebrations it is to be hoped he has not been forgotten. ANNUAL REPORTS.

: The South has always been ore of the the richest spots of the earth in resources. It was long one of the poorest in de?elopmertt in its rare advantages of soil and e'Jmste. It bos the sources and means of a great national wealth and prosperity. It has th cotton field of the world within its borders, and all the nalural adyantagesior manuf acruring the great staple It has the condition of climate and soil for the extensive production of sugar, molasses, rice, tobecoo, topical fruits and general farm crops. Ii has valuable forests and rich minerals, abundance of fuel and water power, advantages for stock raising and grape culture. In short it has exceptional resonroes for advancing to a foremost place in agriculture, manufactures and commerce.;

Thk Kew Orleans Times-I)emocrat has done itself a great credit and the South great service by presenting so thorough a review of the condition of the Southern States scciaJ, political and iadustri alas appeared in a recent issue of that enter--priehsg1 paper. Exhaustive interviews with twelve Governors were published, filling sixty colums of the Times-Demo-erat, and every column contains surpris ing atatements regarding t mdustrial activity.the development of material resources, and the increase of wealth Briefly, it is shown that during the last four years there has been an increase of $640,707,038 in the assessed value of the entire South, an average of $160,176,757 a year. The sum of fSCO,COO,000 has been invested in new railroads. Within four years four Southern States ArkansfliS, Florida Louisiana and Texas have doubled their railroad mileage. Other enterprises and industries have progressed with a rapidity quite as wonderful as that of railroad building. Three yearsr show these results in , the cotton industry :

'The further facts el oited about the cheapness of maoufacturing cotton goods in the South and diride??ds paid ranging from 15 to 20 per cent,' says the les-Democrst, "must brinsr about an eren greater growth of this industry in the South'- in the next few years than that it has witnesed since It requires no prophetic vision to foresee the day which is not far in the future--when New England will buy eotton goods in the South, instead of raw

Toasts were drank in honor of the event, and one-enthusiastic Englishman exclaimed: Now the Americans may whistle, the country is ours." There happened to be present at the table an ; American missionary; Dr. Marcus Whit- ' man, who, when he heard the boast of tin Englishman, resolved thai if it were in his power to prevent at the country should sot become the property of the English. The next day ie started for Washington on horseback, snd making the jemrney in .winter with frozen limbs presented himself; immediately upon bis arrival at the Capitol to, Daniel Webster, then Secretary of State?- After he had " stated his case, Webster blnSy told him the country was worthies and that wagons could not cross the Mountains.

Information Sent Out itom the department at Washington. General Sherman's annual report is in the hands of the secretary of war. . The army consists of 2,143 offiiers and 23,335 men, the figures being almost identical with those of last year. Notwithstanding the great efforts to flUthe army to authoiizel strength, it still lacked 2,149 men of thi quota. General Sherman eonsidera Crook's Apache oompagin & success, and thin ks that if Grook is permit feed to manage the Apaches in his own way all

wars will cease in Arizonia, and the com

plicated Indian question will disappear.

Ho thinks the militarv schools at West

Point, Fort Monroe, and Leavenworth

the best in the world. The general thinks

the soldiers and the railroads together

have practically eliminated the Indian

question, and (hat the building of the

roads was the most impoitant event

modern times, fully accounting for the peace, eood order and . prosperity of the

country. The soldier, says General Sher

man, must be treated as a fellow man,

Ijet hin live in comfort and he will-re

spond to the call of duty, even to death. When the soldier is employed as a carp en

ter, meonanio or other laborer it is oniy

fair that he should bepaid for sach la

bor.7

The report of Adjutant General Drum says the militia have steadily improved

in discipline, in soldierly bearing and knowledge. He recommence the retirement on full pay of men who have faith-

folly served thirty-five years. A bi-mon

thly settlement in clothing is Bccommend-

ed and the statement is madein this con

nection that the government lo; t $70,0C0

last year in clothing overdrawn by deserts

In order to redaee the number of desert

ions, it is proposed that the term of ser

vice be fixed at three years instead of five. The commissioner of the general land office, ifudge McFarland, in his; annual repor states that the disposals of public lands during the year embraced 19,030,769 acres, and of Indian lands 309,235 acres. The receipts from all sources in connection with the disposals of the public lands were $11,088,479, and from the the sales of Indian land $625,454, a total of $11,723,88. The report recommends an amendment to the homestead Jaws requiring a period of not less than six months after the settlement of a claim has been placed on record before the final proof shall be admitted, irrespective of alleged time or residence prior to entry. The report turner recommend? a total repeal 6t the timber culture law. Information is in my possession,'' the commissioner says, that much of the most valuable timber land remaining in possession of the government on the Pacific coast is being taken up by home and foreign captalisfcs, through the medium of entries made by parties hired for that purpose. I have found it necessary to suspend all enteries of this class, and direct an investigation." The report of Joseph Blackfan, superintendent of the foreign mail service, shows that the total weight of mails dispatched to countries of the postal union except Canada, was 2,532,990 pounds, sen transportation cost $316,522; amount of postage collected on foreign, mail matter $078,9ia . . ,

"Yes," ejaculated . delegate Plunkett,
