0'y The following is an extract from the
|, able report Of the Secretary Of War, which
we publish, as near allied 10 the interests OF the
people of this section Of country. II recon-
needs the removal Of all special restraint from
the sale Of the mineral lands in this region, and
in accordance with such recommendation bill
is now before Congress providing for their
Immediate sale, which will probably become
law.

mark the American character, and the
fruitful aud happy influences Of which
arc manifested every where around the
regions oforcs. Should This course be
adopted Congress would take care to
guard the Interests of those who lave
made locations orrccciyed leases agree
I ably TO the established rules of the bu-

those lands has bccnintrustcd. Would
not tie fair acquisition end distribution
OF those lands By purchase, amongst in

to this new coun.ry capital,population,

of the mines-highly valuable adYanta,
