Report or tbe Anditor—lllinois Cen
tral K&ilroad.
We publisVttlß morning tbe Report of the
Auditor of Public Accounts, 800 l J. K. Du
bois, without the tabular statements which
aocomp&Dyit, aud upon, which its value as a
public document-mainly depends. We do so
for the purpose of enlightening our readers
on *the matter of difference between that
officer and the Uitnois-Ctntral Railroad Com*
paify ; that, as ■will; be seen, la stated at
Ihngth; and as it vrHl be the subject of legis
lation, it & too important to be overlooked.
Wc hear it stated that the Company, now sat
isfied of the justice of tbeconstruction put on
the law levying a tax upon their property,
will seek relief in an explanatory act, in
tvbich seven per cent, of tbe gross earnings of
tbe-road will be fixed upon as tbe maximum
sum for which tbey are liable under tbe char
ter. The amount now In dispute is $41,000 j
us it will increase from year to year as the
Tftlue of the lands and properly are enhanced,
the consequences of any legislation to be had
cannot be too closely scrutinized.
Mr. Dubois' firmness in insisting upon the
proper settlement of this vexed question is
worthy of all praise, as is indeed Lis entire
management of the Department in our State
Government, of wtich be is the head. The
expectations of liis friends are fully realized
by two years 5 experience ; and we have yet
to bear bitn assailed "by any party or person
for neglect or mismanagement of his very im
portant duties.
A Very Nice' Distinction*
We cannot blame any man who helped
make James Buchanan President of ; tbe
United Stales, for going through a Brabmini
cal penance for the act—hook-swinging,
traversing the land or his nativity with peas
in his boots, giving his offspring to croco
diles, elc. These things argue a capacity
for moral growth, and though the penitent
should never inflict upon himself the just
chastisement due to his depravity, he
is getting open to virtuous impress
ions in a way which may excite
ihe highest hopes of the reformer. Even
though his conviction of guilt bave a Eource
in his bile, or bis pocket, rather than in an
an awaken'.d conscience, it is something to
have put htm on a new trail of ideas. And
notwithstanding be has been restrained from
cleansing his stuffed bosom, by unknown
terrors, until the verge of the eleventh hour,
his case is far from hopeless ; be is none tbe
less a candidate for the rewards of a better
li f e.
We are led into these reveries by an article
in tbe Chicago Jima of yesterday, making a
pretly clean breast of it, so far an the writer
was concerned in the elevation of our vener
able Chief Magistrate to bis present dignity.
It is true, one of the proprietors of lhat
journal was once tbe "boss" of a flouribhing
post offlie, from which he was removed by
the venerable aforesaid. It is observed also,
that the Times opens its comment with a dam
aging confession, like this:
"An unwillingness to Bay or do anything that
might in any possible manner be considered as .
tending to embarrass a political contest in
which our friends had a deep personal interest,
has for many months restrained us in that free
and candid expression of our judgment o! tbe
acts of the administration ol Mr. Buchanan,
th&t we would like to have given to our readers'.
Tbe action of tbe Legislature of Illinois yester
day has removed tbe last possible excuse for si
lence on ourpirt,and therefore it is that we ask
the attention of our readers for a few minutes
this morning."
But (lie purging wliicli follows is somowlat
cammeuEuralc with (lie ardent provocation
and paiuful delay referred 10. We bare no
interest in (lie personal grievances which (he
Times ljrings into public view. Whether this
clique or that, wormed itself into the shrunken
affections of tbe old man, is of no conse
quence to any one, save those who were kept
oat of the treasury by it. But we have a
right to enter our protest at the point .where
principle begins to figure in the discussion, and
wc do this not to add any respectability to
Jam"s Bjchanan, as will be seen, bat lo give
bim the benefit of a larger company than
some people seem willing to vouchsafe him.
The lima declares as the essence or it? in
dictmcut that tbe Cincinnati Convention
"made a platform, the lire of which was
" tbe Kansas-Nebraska act, and a pledge
"l'or its fair aud faituful application." Pre
cisely the contrary is tiuo. The Democracy
or lESC had got a Btcp in advance of the
Democracy of 1531. When tbe Nebraska
bill was passed it was everywhere declared
that its olij-:ct was to give tho people or the
Territorict the same rights as were enjoyed by
the people of (he Slat s. Tbe way having
been opened for slavery in Kansas, the whole
Di-mocratic party in Congress having striven
for two years to put it there, and yet the ma
chinery lieing discovered to work awkwardlv,
the Cincinnati Convention of ISSG proceeded
to doctor their principles by giving the people
of the Territories these inalienable rights-
Hot while remaining in a Territorial condi
tion, but "WUCXKVEK THE I.TiIBCIL cr THEIK
" inhabitants jc.-tifius it,'* admission into
tbe Union. This was a preparatory move
ment for tbe Lccompton Constitution, and if
Mr. Douglas had as much to do with drafting
that platform as he has been beard to men
tion, perhaps both be and the editor of the
Times can tell how this saving clause got a
place there.
But without going farther into particulars,
•what warrant has the Tuiics for calling Mr.
Buchanan black? Both sustain tho Dred
Scott decision, uhich grinds tbe Nebraska
bill and all the "principles'' secreted in it, to
impalpable dust. Both advocate tbe exten
sion of Slavery, both go it blind for stealing
Cuba, and, for anything we can see to the
contrary, tbey are harmonious and united
on every measure of publio consequenco
before the American people. Ilence the
distinction, if there be one between
them, lies at the key-hole of the
treasury. It is a difference of opinion as to
the custody of that institution, in which it
may be observed bolh parties manifest an
unseemly iutoleracce. When we analyze the
principles involved in such a discrepancy, the
distinction Incomes too nice for common in
vestigation, and we leave the subject at thie
point.
A Slight Mistake.
not Messrs. Wm.B.Fondey and Augus
tus c. French couslitute themselves a commit
tee to inquire of the Chicago T\mes whether tuc
Democratic party carried the State of
llliuoisat the recent election? If they arc
in the habit ol reading that sheet—particu
larly if they pondered on its article on Illi
nois Politics yesterday—they must be con
vinced that James Miller and Newton
Bateman are unlawfully in possession of two
important State offices, which a Democratic
Convention designated them (Fondey and
French) to fill. In ca.se the geniuses wlio do
editorials for the Timtr, Inform tbem that there
has l>een some mistake in tbe business, they
should help themselves to a writ of quo war
ranto forthwith. And in detault of suitable
logic for prosecutiog their claims, we suggest
a perusal of Bishop "Whtacley'a "Historio
Doubts relative to the Eristence of Napoleon
Bonaparte."
The Peoria Trautcrifrt. ■
Mr. L. R. Webb, the able editor of the Peoria
Transcript, publishes his valedictory in the New
Year's number of that paper and announces hit
purpose to enter into new business relations.
The Transcript remains in the hands of Mr.
Geer, the proprietor, and will be edited hereaf
ter by Mr. Wm. L. Avery, formerly ol the Troy
(N. Y.) Traveler. We ar*> sorry to lose Mr.
Webb from the edttorial profession, and espe
cially so to have the Republican party deprived
oi his zealous and efficient services in the im
portant and interesting field of Peoria asd the
sarrounding counties. To the existence of the
Transcript and tho untiling efforts of Messrs.
Geer & Webb ra»y be attributed, in a great de
gree, the hard-won victory which" gives us Mr.
Bee tor in the Senate and Messrs. Moore and
Brace in the House of Representatives. Oar best
wishea follow Mr. Webb in his retirement, and
wa trust tbe Transcript may continue to flourish,
and give as good aa aoeoont of itself next time
as_it did in November 1658.

Ppymomia. Jan. 4,1855. g
The permanent organization of tba Home
«u effected by the election of W. R. Morriaon
of Monroe, to the Speakership. He received
40 votes against 85 cast for Jarrot. Mr. Mor
rison signalized his taking of the Chair by,
neat and pertinent speech, in which he pitted
hitnaelf to fairness and generosity ia tbt Exer
cise oi the power with which he has en ..
trusted. Hi* speech was well if
his professions are followed by performance, be
will bave no caose to complain tb.at he is not
justly dealt with by his opponents. After the \
election of Mr. D. 0. Head of Hancock, to the
Clerkship by the same vote cast for the Speak
er, the minor offices were filled, and in one of
them CapL J. W. Connett of Chicago wu J
placed. He is Doorkeeper. While this work
was in progress, a sharp debate sprang np over
the election of a 3d Assistant Clerk, in which
many of the members participated. As the
first "locking of horns" it was interesting,
though the matter of controversy was of little
ocnseqoence. Peek, Swett, Patton and others
of the Republicans resisted the effort to elect fi
the officer named, on the plea that be was not
at all necessary to the prompt transaction of e
business; but it was foreordained by the caucus g
that be should bave a place, and he was chosen. a
Duricg the progress of this affair, the Spread D
Eagle—that wonder of American political orni- a
thology—was let loose and flapped his wings
over all the country " from the frozen
zone of the North, to the olive grove of the g
South " with the most amusing effect. The De- jj
mocrats bave the bird in keeping; andifEngle a
of Menard, does not die off before the close *
of tho session, he will suffer him frequently to c
exhibit himself for the astonishment of the
lobby. g
Bat Utile farther was done yesterday in , the e
House. Mr. Davis of Stephenson made an at- f,
tempt to amend the rules by addition ot a Com* n
mittee on the State Geological Survey and on e
Township Organization ; and by Mr. Peck of
Cook, to prevent personal legislation. The pro- c
position of the latter is to compel every man p
presenting a private bill for the consideration p
of the House, to produce a certificate from the a
Treasurer that be has deposited with him one j;
hundred dollars to defray the expenses of the £
legislation demanded. The remedy would doubt- ri
less be effectual; but it does not seem generally 0
to commend itself to the judgment of the mem* z ;
bers, most of whom have their pockets staffed j r
with bills for private acts. The evil of which
Mr. T. complains is one of great magnitude and £
should be abated. He is not alone in the desire Bl
to lessen it. Mr. Goudy, of Fulton, a Demo* j
cratic member of the Senate, has a series of
General Incorporation Laws which he will pre- jj
sent in due time, and if they meet with favor q.
and go into effect, all seekers for special legisla- a
tion will inexorably be referred to tbem. g
A bill is before the Senate for the incor- „
poratiou of the llouhVX CtmeUry Compa* g
fjy—a Chicago association comprising eighteen g
of your best citizens, who propose to open end T
adorn, after the manner of Mount Auburn, Gree- g
wood and Laurel Hill, a burying place for the f (
dead. Mr. F. H. Benson appears to be the fa-
thcr of the enterprise. From the liberal terms
of the bill and the well koown ability of the f (
corporators, much may be expected, if the pro-
ject succeeds. Certainly a new Cemetery is one c ,
of the first needs of your city.
Indefinite numbers of Democratic politicians j,
from Chicago are here, with Dy£r at their head. c
They are organizing a pressure to force through c
their charter alterations. They will be met by n
• vigorous resistance,—and they will be better 0
tacticians than they have ever proved them- j,
selves before, if they succeed. Their bill is •*
kept very close.

This evening the biennial election of the cIG-
cers of our State Agricultural Society is to take
place in this 11 all. Alerady the political myr- 01
midons are rallying their cohorts to take pos
tession of this pastoral institution, which, from
its success, bus become popularized in the hearts
of the people. A similar attempt was made at
the last election ( and came near being successful.
The same parties ure again in the field,but with
new candidates of course. The loca*.ion of the
Fair permanently at Springfield, will enlist #t
many voles here, in favor of the intriguing j*
party. Whether tho leaders are in earnest or : a
not it matters little, but they are taking advan- *
tage of this feeling amoog the citizens of this
city to enlist their votes in their favor. An- J
other bait theee men bave thrown oat is the
part of the seven per cent, of the Illinois Cen-
tral Railroad, which thej claim can only be had
through a prominent member of the Senate, 111
who is the chief wire worker in this scheme to
make this Society a political hobby-horse. But jvj
we hope that these schemes will be as signally 60
rebuked as they were at the last election. The ra
North part of the State has not, as yet, had the °?
honor of the Presidency,during the six years of q,
the existence of the Society, and it would appear
but an act of courtesy, if not justice, that that r i
officer should be selected from that part of the
State. This could be done if the facility of mak- la
ing voters out of the citizens of SpringfielcUat a Ci
dollar a head, was oat of the question. An
amendment should be made to the constitution, p.
so as to hold the election at some other point, W
where Railroad fare would be added to the ex
penso of making voters. 0 f
Chicago, Freeport and Dixon are fully repre- th
sented, and each place will make strong efforts u '
for the next Fair, and we may therefore look
forward to an interesting time, provided the ra
Society should fall into the bands of honest and **
capoble men.
Mr. Davis, of Stephenson, this morning pre- pi
sentsd a petition, numerously signed, for the V 1
passage of a bill for the protection of growing
fruit from petty marauders. It is to be dc
hoped that such a bill will pass, as our village
gardens and farm orchards bave already suffered
from the depredations of not only petty but re-
spectable appearing, free-and-easy fruit-pickers, hi
much to the annoyanee and discouragement of
the careful plrnters, who bad hoped to eat the bo
fruit of their labors. Mr. Davis is entitled to no
great credit for thus early presenting this mess- f e
ure to the consideration of the House, and we
trust bis colleague in the Senate, Mr. Addams, to
will give it his friendly aid. We do not appre- sia
hend any opposition to the bill, but it needs the ra.
attention ol its lriends to see that it is not lost mi
in the avalanche of local legislation. vc
The city is already nearly foil of members of fui
the Thiid House, and over fifty were turned uk
away from the Cbenery House last evtning to bo

from Chicago and points north came by the way an

from Chicago should take the 10 P. M. train,
when they make close cose connection with the

... Docqo, DM 91 ISM.
In advocating the tfiobnn Valley rocte'to
Poget's Sound as the nearest and best roste for
a Railroad to the Pacific, perhaps a more minate
and particular description of Ihe territory along
the proposed line ofth'e roidwtraldnot be alto
gether uninteresting or unimportant. I propose
to note some of the most important features of
icjfweet of lowa. : The. first in oi?:
der, and indeed of importance at the present
time, is the proposed new Territory of Dacotah.
At present this Territoij is the remnant of Min
nesota Territory, lying between the western
of tbe'State erf Minnesota and the Mi*
souri River, extending from the northern boun
dary of the United States, Sonth to the parallel
of 42% degrees of North latitude. These ought
not, and probably will not be the ultimate boun
daries of that Territory. The North boundary
should be at 46 degrees of North latitude; thence
West to the "Black Hills;" thence southerly
along those Hills to the parallel of 43 degrees of
North latitude; thence East to the Missouri Riv
er; down that river to the mouth of the Big
Sioux; thence North along the western bound
ary of lowa and Minnesota to the place of begin
ning. These boundaries will give between sixty
and eighty thousand square miles, and will al
low of another Territory to the North, including
the Pembina Settlement, of equal and probably
greater area. The Missouri River will pass
nearly through-the centre of the Territory from
a northwest to a southeasterly direMion. It has
a mild, genial, healthy climate, fertile soil, ex
cellent water, and considerable timber, especial-
Iy along the streams; and if opened op to emi
gration and-settlement by means of the propos
ed road, wiQ settle! very rapidly. With such
facilities for communication with the East, and
with its navigable waters, penetrating klmost
every portion of it; and with'its vast agricultu
ral and mineral resources, it will ultimately be
came one of the -most desirable and attractive
portions of ihe West. It is trne, that in some
portions there is a scarcity of timber, but prob
avly not more so than in Kansas and Nebraska.
If, however, those vasVpine forests West of the
Missouri can be penetrated by means of rail
roads, so as to supply that necessity, it will be
one of the most desirable agricultural aud gra
zing countries on the Continent. Coal abounds
in many portioos of the country, and in thenor
tbern part, along the npper waters of the James
River, is one of the richest and most extensive
salt regions on the North American contioent.
.The mineral is said to crop out of the Bluffs in
layers like limestone, and may be quarried in :
like manner. Of the existence of these salt
mines there cannot be a doubt. There has been
a survey of the locality by a corps of United
States Topographical Engineers. This survey
was made a number of years since. The James
River will be navigable for a large portion of the
season qsite up to these salt mines. Along the
valley of this river, as also of the Missouri, Big
Sioux, and Vermillion, are some of the most
fertile and desirable agricultural lands in the
West. The whoie country is covered with a
heavy growth of wild grass, known as the "Buf.
falo grass." This grass, although resembling
the prairie grasses of the Mississippi and lake
conntry, is entirely different in all its character
istics. It has a soft, pliable texture, is very nu
tritious, and when cut in good season and well
cured, makes hay equal to the best quality of
cultivated grasses. From Sioux City to the
month of the Niobrara River, a distanco of about
one hundred miles, the Missouri River has near
ly an East and West course. On the North side
is a valley extending nearly the entire distance,
and averaging about fifteen miles in width. This
is the celebrated "Hupen Huta," or "Sioux
Turkey Hunting Grounds.' Along the river
on both sides are immense bodies of excellent
timber, mostly cotton wood in the bottoms, with
hard wood on the higher grounds and among
the bluffs. These groves will furnuh an aban
dant supply of lumber for the whole valley, and
far back into the interior. Steam saw mills can
be and now employed to great advantage in
cutting up this timber. The hard wood will also
furnish abundance of ties ef the very best quali
ty for all the railroads the country will be likely
to.baild for the next quarter of a century.
There are no marshes, sloughs, or low, swampy
lands in the whole region. The consequence is
that the Missouri valley will probably be freer
from bilious complaints and intermittent fevers,
so common to nearly all new countries, than any
portion of the West. There are large tracks of
lands, known as " weed lands." These are old
Indian cornfields which have been abandoned
by the Indians, and have become overgrown
with a dense growth of weeds. Theee lands are
deemed very desirable by the first settlers
throughout the whole Missouri valley, from the
fact that they are very fertile, easily cultivated,
and will the first season produoe abundant crops
of corn, potatatoes, melons, &c. It was on one
of those old Indian cornfields that Lewis and
Clark, in their explorations of the upper Mis
souri and Cotumbiarivcrß In the years 1503-'4-'5
raised their first crops of corn to support their
men during that expedition. This old field is
situated a little below the present cite of Sioux
City.
The table lands bounding the Missouri valley
riie somewhere about aixty feet above the
bottom lands, are quite extensfve, very fertile,
easily cultivated, and will make excellent farming
lauds, especially for wheat and other small grains.
Corn also grows with great luxariance, even on
the thinnest poll. What is true of the Missouri
Va'ley is true also or most of its tributaries, es
pecially of the Big Sioux, Veiinilli -n, James and
Wennani Rivers. The Big Sioux Is the boundary
betweeo loira and Dicotah. It has a valley be
tween the bluffs of about three miles. The soil is
of the very best quality with timber enough for
the immediate wants of the country, aud will
ultimately command extensive settlements. The
Barae Is true of ihe James River. Little b known .
u-s yet of tbis valley, but enough howevr, to war
rant the coucluflon that it will, when oppn to
settlemeut, command a large emigration. About a
huudrcd miles above its mouth are lound large
bodies of timber, mosUy hardwood, with some
pine or-cedar. Immense herds of buffalo winter in
tliu>e forests, attracted thitDer no doubt by the
immense fields of rushes and wild grasses with
which the valleys abound. The herds of buffalo
during the summer, spread over the whole country
*«uth and east of their winter quarters, where
they are slaughtered In great numlters. They are
generaily bunted by men on horseback armed
with revolvers. When a herd is discovered, the
buntcr thus mounted and armed selects his game
and follows it with untiring pertinacity, until he
brings down his game. The sport is very exciting
both to horse and rider, and often attended with
no smail degree of danger. Last summer two
gentlemen from Sioux Falls went out on a buffalo
hunt, they were not long in starting up their game,
and immediately pave cha«e. Their victim proved
to be an old patriarch of the plains, of immense
size and very fierce, but nothing daunted they
ranged up alonside of the affrighted and pantug
monster, and each sent the contents of bis revol
ver int»his-body, being hit in a vital part the in
furiated animal turned upon his pursuers, and
making a sadden dash at one of them, caught
horse and ridef upon his horns and carried them
nearly tlfty feet, then tossed them high in the air,
and lell dead in bis tracks. He was indeed a
monster. His hams at the b**e measured eighteen
inches in circumference. These herds generally
gn n ;rth to their winter quarter#. West ot the
Missouri and between that stream and the "Black
Bills," some portions of the country is less adapted
to agricultural purposes; it being higher, drier
and more rolling, although there are a great many
exteuave and lertile valleys, formed and watered
by the rirera coming down from the mountains.
Such is White River coming into the Missouri at
about -U degrees of north latitude.
Dr. Hayden, the geologist of Lieut. Warr«n T s
exploring expedition oi i»oo in speaking or the
country watered by thii rivtr siys, that 4, it is
i quai to the best portions of Kansas." Surely no
higher commendation can be given. The Big
Sheyennt Is another large river rising in the
Black Hills and emptying into the Missouri in
about forty.flTe degrees ot north latitude
This .river. has * broad; fertile valley with nu
merous tributaries;-the main stream and Its
tributaries being well timbered; and towards
its head waters, as also of the White .River,
there are vast pine forests. These forests will
b« of immense value and importance to the fu
ture Mttlera of those valleys. In some of the
small valleys along the Missouri River the soil
is impregnated with a saline subetanee or min
eral very much resembling- saltpetre. This
mineral impregnates the water of the small
atreams and renders them nnfit for use in the
dry seasons of the fear. But these tracts are
not extensive, nor will they prove a serious ob
stacle to the settlement of the country. West
of the Missouri are situated what are called the
"bad lands," "manvsulses terres" of the
" French Voyageura." A wrong impression
prevails as to these lands. The opinion is com
mon that they are vast tracts of barren, sandy •
deserts, or mountainous regions deonded of
their original soiL Not so. They take their
names from great numbers of sink holes or cir- <
cular pits, depressed a litUe below the surface i
of the surrounding country. These places are i
generally overgrown with ft species of fine,
thiek grass, giviog to them the appearance, to 1
the unpracticed eye, of equal firmness and sta- 1
bility. But the instant the foot of either maa i
or beast presses the sward it breaks through; i
beneath whieh ia a soft, nnctuoos of i
about the sppearanoe and consistence of soft
soap. This sobstanee adheres with great tenaci- ]
ty to whatever.lt touches. And either man or ]

it may be necessary to determine.by law, when
and bow their ailairs shall be finally closed.
The statement of the Treasurer's account ex
hibits the finances of the State in a sound ond
flourishing condition. The punctuality in the
payment of the taxes, furnishes gratifying evi
dence of the prosperity of our State and the
good faith of our citizens. The amount of rev
enue in the treasury applicable to the psyment
of ordinary and contingent expenses of the State
government is $153,07119.
Thestatemeots of the value of taxable prop
erty, and the amount of taxea levied lor the cur
rent year ISSB, have not as yet been received
from the several counties, and therefore cannot
be included io this report.
The aggregate value of taxable property for
the year 1856 is $349,951,272, being an increase
over the previous year of $15,552,847, and the
aggregate valuation for the year 1857 is $407,-
477,307, being an increase in 1657 over 1856 of
$57,520,095, equal to about 16)£ per cent, onlbe
reduction of ISSG. •
There can be but little doubt of the fact that a
fair valuation of the taxable property, in ac
cordance with the requirements of the law reg
ulating the assessment of property, would great
ly increase tne aggregate valuation.
The loth article of the constitution provides
for the collection of a tax of two mills on the
dollar of valuation, and the distribution of the
proceeds thereof on the first day of January, in
oach year, to such holders of State bonds as may
present them for that purpose, aoch payments
to be made on the principal of the bonds pre*
sented. These payments have been regularly
made since the adoption of the constitution, and
have doubtless contributed to that perfect re
storation of the State credit which now happily
prevails. This elevation uf the credit of the
State has, however, produced a state of things
in relation to the two mill tax which would
seem to reqiure tbe immediate attention of the
Legislature. While our State stocks were much
below par in tbe money markets, payments on
account of the principal were of course accept
able, but our stocks are now considerably above
par, and it is therefore improbable tnat any
considerable amount will be presented on the
first day of next January.
Tbe avails of the two mill tax for the present
year reach the large sum of $740,029.45, which
in all probability, will remain in the State treas
ury uncalled for. In anticipation of this result
tbe last Legislature passed an act providing that
any amount of this fund remaining uncalled f r
on the first day of January in eash year, shall
be added to tbe fuud already provided for pur
chasing the evidences of indebtedness of the
State. It appears, however, that much difficul
ty is now experienced-in the purchase of State
indebtedness with tbe funds already provided
for that purpose. RoldSrs of our bonds are
disinclined to sell, and very limited amounts
only go on the stock markets, and those are held
above par. Tbe last purchase made in New York
by the State agent was at the rate of three and
one-half per cent, premium, and there is now a
considerable amount of the funds so provided
remaining in tbe State treasury unexpended.
Under these circumstances, to go into tbe stock
market with the large fund remaining of the
two mill tax, would probably raise the price of
our State stocks to a rate at which it would be
very undesirable to bay them.
Tbe policy of this coarse may well be ques
tioned from other considerations. One of the
objects of the 15th article of tbe Constitution
was to aid in restoring the credit of the State,
which was greatly depressed at the time of its
adoption. That object is happily accomplished.
The owners of our six per cent, obligations pre
fer to bold them, and in fact will not part with
them, even at a considerable premium. In the
meantime our people are enduring a heavy tax
ation during a time of general pecuniary diffi
culty, to raise the means of paying this debt,
which onr creditors refass to receive. Many of
our citizens are paying a much higher rate Df
interest than the State, and this taxation is bur-,
densome to all, but has heretofore been cheer
fully paid, because considered necessary. Un
der these circumstances it remains with the gen
eral Assembly to determine, in their wisdem,
whether aoy means can and shall be devised to
relieve the people from the payment of the two
mill tax, while, at least, as now, the collection
ot that tax is but a useless burthen upon them.
Unless there is some legislation on this subject,
the public officers will of course be bound to
carry out tbe provisions of the act of the last
session, by tbe purchase of State bonds at mar
ket rates, with the large saount that will re
main of the two mill tax; and in addition, a still
larger amount will be collected on the assess
ment of 1553, wnicb, in all probability, will not
be called for, and will have to be nsed in still
further advancing the price of our State stocks.
A serious question has arisen between the
State aodthe Illinois Central Railroad Company
in reference to the liability of that company for
taxes, under its act ot incorporation, and the
law. The act incorporating the oompanywaa
passed Feb. 10th, ISSI, and the eighteenth sec
tion thereof provides 44 that in consideration of
the grants, privileges and franchises herein con
ferred npon said company, for the purposes
aforesaid, the aaid company ahall on the first
Mondays ot December and June, in each year,
pay into the treasury of the Slate of Illinois,
five per centum of the gross proceeds, receipts
or income derived from said road and branches,
for the six months next preceding." The
twenty-second section provides that "the lands
selected under said act of Congress, and hereby
authorized to be conveyed; ahall be exempt
from all taxation under tbe laws of this State
until sold and conveyed bv aairi «*
trustees; ana the other stock, property and ef
fects ot aaid company; shall in like manner be ex
empt from all taxation for ths term of six years
from the paaaage of this aet. After the exptra- '
tion of six years, the stock, property and assets
belonging to said company ahall be listed by the
President, Secretary or other officer, with the
Auditor of State, and an annual tax for State
purposes shall be assessed by the Auditor npon
*U property and assets of every name, kind and
description belongingto said corporation. When
| ever the taxes levied tor State purposea shall
! exceed three«fourths ot one per oentum per an
i num, such excess shall be deducted from the
gross proceeds or income herein required to be
paid by said corporation to the State, and ths 1
said corporation is -hereby exempted from all 1
taxation of every kind, except as herein provi- j
ded for. Tbe revenue from aaid taxation, and j
the aaid five per oent. of grosser total proceeds,
receipts or income aforesaid, shall be paid into \
tbe treasury in money, and applied to the pay- ]
ment of interest-paying State indebtedness, nn- '
til the extinction thereof: Prodded, in case the \
five per cent provided to be paid into the State -
treasury, and tbe State taxes to be paid by the \
corporation, do not amount to seven per cent. {
of tbe gross or total proceeds, receipts or income, j
then the said company shall pay- into -the State \
treasury the difference, so as to mske tbe whole c
amount paid equal at least to seven per cent, of j
the gross receipts of said corporation.** <
Under the provisions ofthe section last quoted t
the property of the company became liaole to ;
assessment for a valuation tax for the first time i
in the year 1557, for the taxes of* that year, and j
its property was accordingly listed/for taxation j
in the manner prescribed tjy the act.'
The taxes upon tbe assessed value of the ]
property of the company, when added to tbe five
percent, provided to bi paid into the State
treasury, exceeded seven per cent, of the gross' >
earnings of the road for that year, compa
ny insists that under ths law its liability to the n
State tor taxes, cannot iir any event, exceed i
•even per cent, of Its gross esrnings, whilst on £
the part of the State it ts insisted that its liabil- 1
ity to the Stale cannot b»-fo* than seven per «
cent, of its gross earnings, but be more,' e
depending upon the assessed valuation of the B
property. The company have paid intothe State i

it it is currently reported in camp, and on what
sppears to be good authority, that Brigbsm
e Young has positively and peremptorily refused
to obey the summons to appear before the Dis
» JT 10 * 9 oart » eice Pt npon condition that Gov.
Cumxning ahall furnish him a sufficient escort to
e protect his sscred person from harm. Accord
fog to the accounts we hsve in csmp, Msrshal
e Oodson and his Deputy have had the door of
the Lion House shut in their faces three several
e times. As yet no requisition for military aid
has been made on Gen. Johnston. One thing,
d I think, may be assumed as pretty certsin, and
J? 4 * Go*- Camming will never call upon
the military for aid to enforce the laws in this
J Territory as long as be can, according to his
k- own conceptions of propriety and official duty,
ayoid doing so. Whatever'view may be taken
e of Utah matters at Washington, it ia certain
that among all the Gentiles here, whether in the
military service or not, it would be difficult to
s find a half a dozen who do not consider that
t • Gov. Camming is disposed to take entirely too
'• lenient and charitable a view of the political of
fences and social enormities which hsve charac
terized the Mormon community ot late years.
t Our camp was thrown into quite a state of ex
t citement ? night before last, by a report, since
fully verified, that one officer of the army had
• been shot in Salt Lake City, on Monday night
b last, and another first knocked down by a blud
i- geon, and then carried to jail bj the Mormon
police. The circumstances appear to be these:
s Lieut. Saunders, of the 2d Drsgoons, was one of
1 tbe officers attached to the command sent some
r time since in the direction ofthe Humboldt, to
look after certain bands of tbe Indians who, it
b had been reported, bad attacked and annoyed
s tbe California mail party. While on this expe
• dition, Lieut. Saunders was taken very ill of the
typhoid fever, and on tbe return of the com
mand it was found necessary to leave him in
- Salt Lake City, under the medieal care of As
r sistant Surgeon Corey, who was detached for
i that purpose.
, Oo the evening of last Monday, Dr. Corey,
i who is known to be one of the mildest and qui
i etest gentlemen in the service, and Lieut. Saun
i ders, who has recently recently risen from bis
I sick bed, were at or in the vicinity ofthe store
• of Messrs. Livingston, Kinkead & Co., inco = -
J pany with Mr. Kinkead of that firm. Tbe party
I were laughing, talking and enjoying themselves,
when a policeman stepped up and told them they
i were making 100 much noise, and must quit it.
> To this Mr. Kinkead made some reply, which
) drew forth an insulting retort from the guardian
; of the night, whereupon the latter wasTcnocked
i down by Mr. Kinkead. A melee ensued, seve
ral other policemen comiog up on the instant,
• aod some sixteen or seventeen shots were fired,
i Dr. Corey was slightlj wounded in the arm, and
3 Mr. Saanders was knocked down with a blud
geon, and then carried off to jail. Fortunately
> tor the assailants, neither gentleman was armed.
Lieut. Saundera is a powerful man, and one
t whom 1 should think could not often be knocked
i down with impunity. But the typhoid fever is
not exactly the thing to prepare a man for
• " traveling on his muscle'* through a crowd
of assailants armed with bludgeons and six
-1 shooters.
t A few nights ago, while Wm. Hobson, H. S
Marshall, and Mr. Hartnett, Secretary of State,'
r were walking after dark on one of the most pub
i lie streets ot tbe city, a pistol ball whistled by
i them, fired, it is suopesed, by one ofthe police.
In the present state of affairs, I should not be
f surprised at any moment to hear of blood
-5 shed and violence on a more extended scale in
the city.
i I know of nothing that displays in a more
striking light the brutishnees of the Mormon
• character than a circumstance I have heard in
connection with the recent catting off from tte
church of a considerable number of the women.
i Nowhere else, I venture to say, on the Continent
i of North America, are white women to be seen
) working like slaves, barefooted, in the field.
i It is notorious to all here that large numbers
r of the Mormon women are in a state of great
i want and destitution, and that their husbands
• do not pretend to provide them even with the
r necessaries of life. The Gentile merchants ot
1 Salt Lake City gave employment in the way of
needlework to a considerable number of these
• poor women, thus enabling them to earn a do- :
} cent support for themselves and children.
i I have been assured by a lady, who has her-
I self been excommunicated, that every female in
> Salt Lake City who took in sewing from the
i Gentile merchants has been cut off from tbe
i Church. Nearly every Morman woman about
our camp the same fate.
> Brigham Young and his confederates know
full well that his system cannot continue to
> thsi#e or to exUt except by being isolated, and
thd anything like free or general intercourse
t between his people and the army would tend
i directly and powerfully toward the overthrow
ofthe moßt objectionaole features of Mormon
> ism. Hence no pains are spared, by a system
of thorough and searching espionage, by an ex
tensive and übiquitous police organization, by
I aoathemas and excommunications from his con
venticles, to prevent anything like a free asso
ciation of his people, especially of the female
portion, with the Gentiles now ia Utah. I think
it is much to be regretted that the policy of our
Government officials here has from the first
been such as to subserve Brigham Young's
views and play into his bands in this matter.
The troops have been kept as far away from tbe
masses of tbe Mormon population as practicable,
and tbe intercourse between the army and the
population of the Territory has been of the most
limited character.
Oahf Flotd, U. T„ December 3, IK".
Brigham Young has not yet appeared in
Coart, nor has the Marshal, so far as I hare
been able to learn, yet succeeded in serving a
subpena upou him. It appears to be generally
understood now, however, upon what grounds 1
have not bsen able to ascertain, that whenever
it is intimated to him that his presence is re
quired, he will appear and " take a swar." His
attendance will be needed next Mondcy, in tbe
suit for false imprisonment brought by McNeil,
who was put in jail and in irons for attempting
to leave the Valley last winter without a pass
port. CoL Fabens, McNeil's companion in mis
fortune, disappeared some two months sgo
very mysteriously, and his most intimate
friends here do not know what has become of
him.
It having been intimated to Gen. Johnston
that Judge Sinclair was under the impression
that troops would not be sent into Salt Lake
City except upon a requisition from the Gover
nor, the General addressed a letter to tbe Judge
assuring him that troops would be sent in at
once upon an intimation from tbe Judge himself
that their presence was needed. To provide for
any such contingency, the horses belonging to
Phelps' light battery, which bad been turned
over to tbe Quartermaster and sent to Rush
Yalley to winter, have been brought back and
the battery remounted.
Winter has set in here at last in good earnest
} alleys and mountains all around are covered
with snow, presenting aa dreary a winter land
scape as the ere could rest on. The thermome
ter yesterday was aa low as 12* below zero, and
the wind from the north was aharper than tiie
edge of a razor.

A matter touching tbe great prophet himself,
has not yet been disposed of, to come to its final
issue. An effort bad been made by the U. S.
Marshal to serve upon him a paper requiring
his presence at Court, and his " body guard,"
consisting of one hundred men, interposed and
prevented the officer from falfilling his doty in
tbe matter. Since that Major Brookie, the new
Deputy Marshal, has succeeded in serving the
writ. By this the ancient prophecy, that "no
Gentile should ever bring Brigham into Court,"
appears to have been placed in somewhat doubt
ful light. Whether Brigham ia ultimately to
be brought before the Court, either to answer
for himself, or give evidence in relation to
others, remains to be developed. Two to ona
is taken that will. But all points to the poe«
aihU •uipioyment of troops, in which casa it la
not doubted that CoL Smith, the man said to ba
most of all disliked by the Mormons, will have
a ahow with tbe gallant Tenth Infantry. Neither
ia it doubted that CoL 8. will acquit himself in
a manner to justify both his former brilliant re
pntatlon, and all the hatred and fear* of this
peculiar 41 people."

A Paris letter writer gives the following de

which will ere long cross the Atlantic, and perhaos
the AUegbaniei:
" I am half inclined to say that the greatest of
all events just now is the invention of a new

enough to raisa an outcry about crinoline, what 1
will they do now? The dre?s I speak of is one, 1
to make which about twenty-eight or thirty yards
°f stuff are required, and tue vestment is thought 1
to look best when made of velvet! Now just
fancy a of thirty yards, composed of velvet '
at six dollars a yard. Tae garment itself U little 1

the body spreading oat into a kind of long, largo .<
"Pp- "it falls upon th« skirt. The body is <
rather loose, like what is called a''caraco, ,? and 1

Hon. William A. Howard, of the Detroit
j District, Michigan, has served a notice upon
!. Mr. Cooper, tho returned member for the next
® Congress, that he will contest his seat. The
q latter had, according to the official returns, a
rery small majority. The Detroit Tribum ex
® presses the belief that there ore clear and snfli
n cient grounds for a contest, and that Cooper will
e be onsted.
'j —The Mobile Mtrcury sagaciously charges
q the Federal Government with the murder of
all those stolen Africans, rescued from the
® Echo, who died on their way back to their home,
g Who was it that "murdered" the victims of
e the middle passage, ddring the Echo's voyage
| to this country! Let those who advocate re*
e opening the African Slave trade answer to them
i. selves, whether they are innocent in the oce
case more than in the other.
B Some of the New Jerseyans are urging the
e nomination oi Hon. William L. Dayton as the
® Opposition candidate for the next Presidency.
Congress, says an exchange, has prover
f bially two periods of idleness. Tbe first before
the holidays, the other alter. Having fully
b demonstrated during the first " how no; to do
1 it," it has gone earnestly to work to repeat the
r demonstration ia the second. For particulars
j see daily telegraphic dispatches. '

according to his custom, on New Year's Day,
and each person who called, registered his

t during the day were one thocsand and one,

( The action in the proposed contest against
s Bright and Fitch by the State of Indiana, re
-1 presented by Lane and McCarthy, to recover
the seat in the U. S. Senate, usurped by the
i former parties, iff temporarily estopped by the
» refusal of Dunham, (Leeomptonite.) Secretary
J of State, to send up copies of certificates oi
[ election, as ordered by the Legislature. It is
* said that a remedy for this state of facts will be
j enacted a few days hence when the Legislature
} meets in regular session.
, —Aa inquest held in New York on Friday,
[ on the body of Mrs. Emma Hughes, found dead
in the tenant house No. 7 Mulberry street, re
i veals a sad history. The deceased is said to he
j the widow of the lato Col. Thomas Hughes, aa
officer ia tbe United States Army, who cut his
i throat in a mad house. One of her brothers is
reported to be a member elect to the present
| New York Legislature. A year ago she lived
in elegant style at the Metropolitan Hotel, but
became intemperate and died of delirium tre
mens.
From a recent report ofthe Secretary of
the Interior, mads to the Senate, it appears that
the entire cost of Government buildings in
Washington, including statuary and paintings,
has been f 14,709,339.09!
Lieutenant Andrew Jackson, son of John
Jackson, of Petersburg, Ya.,has been appointed

The Case or the Wanderer"—An Im
portant Point Decided.
The examination of tbe parties arrested for
the importation ot slaves by the Wanderer is in
orogrein at Savannah, before the United States
Commissioner. On Thursday, Dec. 30th, an
important question, bearing upon tbe merits of
the case, was decided by the Commissioner. On
the preTions day the District-Attorney requested
the Court to charge that tbe internal transpor
tation of recently imported Africans was not a
crime under the laws of the United States, aod
that a witness who had been engaged in such
transportation could answer questions in refer
ence thereto without criminating himselL The
Court decided thai iM tcord* "eoastvi't tram
yorttiion," in th* Ad of Congrrn did not
bract inland transportation; but there were
other acta, (which he read,) that left sueh donbt
on his mind that he did not feel at liberty to in
•truct the witness that he conld answer ques
tions without criminating himself.
Mr. Ganahl, the United Statea Attorney, ad
dressed tbe Court, stating that as prosecuting
officer of the Government, he had investigated
the law fully in reference to the prosecution of ,
Capt. Christie and bis steamer, and had become
satisfied that he had done nothing that mede
him responsible to the law. He thought some- j
thing was doe to his opinion as the represents
tive of the Government uoon whom devolved
the prosecution of Captain Christie and the en
tire management and control of the ease on the
part of the Government. If the decisions made : ,
by the Court were to prevail as law tor the gov- 1
ernment of his trial, the ends of justice wiO be
defeated, all efforts te maintain the laws of the
land would be powerless, and the law itself a
dead letter upon the statute-book.
The examination then proceeded. Captaia
Christie, of the steamer Lamar, testified that
he went with his steamer from Brunswick to a ]
point opposite Jekyl Island; aaw there some
negroes aad white peraoas; the. negroes were
not American aegoes; bis boat transported the
negroes who were on thesouth end of the Island*
their number, he heard, was about three bun'
.dred—does not know how many; they were put
on board tha steamer by the white men; aaw c
tbe mast-head of a vessel about three or four
miles off; did not reeognixs her as tbe Wan
derer; this was on the 2d of December; there
were six or eight white men engaged ia putting:
the negroes on board—perhaps more; took *
them on board in the day-time; witness carrud
the alavavpUu Savannah Eivtr to* point tcriu
ftvrUtn tnilm abort £or«4sah on t\* South-
Caroiina tidtcould not describe (He place, as : _
be was unacquainted with the river; white men j
went along, the negroes being in their charge, *
aome of them the aame parties as assisted ia
putUag the negroes on board at Jekyl Island; i
| did not deliver the negroes to any one. but ran l
| alongside the baak, and ths parties having them

Dsats of tbi Riqht*ocs.—l once met oa the
sea bhore, said the eastern poet, Sad I, a pious man,
who had been attacked by a tiger, aad was horri
bly mutilated. Me was dying and suffering dread- €
fui agonies. Nevertheless his features were c&lta
aad sereae, and his physical pain seemed to be van
quished by the puaity of bis soul. "Great God,"'
said he, "1 thank thee, that lam only suffering, D
from the fangs of the tiger yd not from remorse."
