the coast Of Canada, made an excursion into
Upper Canada, and crossed over into Vermont

James Fl. Mcbride, lives not in this Land

his vain regrets" but when these "rogrets"
assume the tone of Censure and grave COM

wholesale assault on this appointment by
one who cannot pretend TO understand the
wishes of the people of this District. Why
did not the press at Springfield speak out

never made any profession OF religion, nor was

and frequently his mind much deranged, but

Heaven; that he was going to die and did not fear

where there would be no more sorrow or signing:
that God was willing and able TO save all who

NEBRASKA TERRITORY.

This territory is the country west of Iowa,
watered by the upper Missouri and its
branches. 1t was formily occupied by the
Crow tribe of Indians.
An old Crow chef once described ii &c.
cording to capt. Bonneville in these words:
"The Crow country, is a good country.
The great spirit has Put it exactly in the right
pInc9-while you are in it you fare we'll
whenever you 20 out Of 1t, whichever way
you travel yon will fare worse. If you go
10 the south, there you have to wander over
great barren plains--the water is warm, and
bad, and you meet the fever and ague. TO
the north it is coId-the winters are long
and bitter, with no grass--you cannot keep
horses there, but must travel with Dogs
What is 4 country without horses? On the
Columbia they are poor and dirty, paddle
about in canoes and eat fish. Their teeth
are worn out--they are always taking fish
bones out Of their mouths. Fish is poor
food. 70 the east they dwell in villages
they live wel--but they drink the muddy
water Of the Missouri--that is bad. A
Crows dog would not drink such water
About the forks of the Missouri is fine

it is cold--the aass is gone; and there is
no salt weed for horses. The Crow coun

TIE MORMONS.

Late accounts from the mormon settle
mcnts, represent an alarming state of af-
fairs. A difficulty had arisen between the
mormons and other citizens, in Hancock
and Adams counties, in which the NOR
mons were sufferers. a company of "old
citizens" had assembled at school house,
and were attacked by the mormons, who
fired on the house and retreated. No lives
were lost. Subsequently, the anti-mormons
attacked a mormon settlement, fired and
burned down some 25 or 80 buildings
several barns, stacks of grain, &c. The
people were assembling, and seemed de,
termined to drive the mormons out Of the
settlement. The mormons, on the other
hand, were preparing to resist.
We shall look for the result with interest.

LATE FROM TEXAS.

The New Orleans Tropic of the 25th
furnishes the following extracts from the
Texas papers, which will be found of con-
siderable interest:
"The 'Brasos Planter says that the con-
vention has fixed the seat of government al
the city Of Austin until the year 1885,
Thirty six votes were given in favor of
Austin, and scattering vote for other
6ileces.
can important document from the land
office at Austin had been laid before the
convention. From it we learn that the
superficial extent Of Texas ms comprised
within the limits defined by statute of the
lst Texan Congress, comprises, in round
numbers, $4,000 square miles, or 253,2S4,.
l66 acres; that the total amount of land
issued by the various boards Of land COM
missioners is 3,543, 970 acres; that the to-
tai amount of the above, recommended as
good and lawtM claims, is 19,2l2,2O6 acres
issued by the department of war, as boun-
| ty and donation claims, 100000 acres
land scrip sold by the Texan government,
3GS, 1897 acres; amount of legal claims TO
lands issued by Texas, 25,SSO,993 acres;
amount issued and supposed TO be fraudu-
lent, 24,334,764 acres; issued by the au-
thorties of Mexico, a portion of which is
supposed to be invalid, 22,0SO,O0O acres;
and that the total amount of the public do
main subject to location and unsurveyed,
is ISL ,99l ,4O3 acres. The officer of the
land office, in communicating the above
statement, says that he has no means of
knowing the whole amount of scrip that
has been issued by the Texan government,
but thinks the amount yet out is about one
eighth of that shown to be in his office, and
that the same is the case in reference to
bounty lands"
The convention had not yet adjourned.
Nothing definite of any importance has
yet been done, but every thing is in fair
way for completion.

FROM MEXICO-NO WAR.

There are various and conflicting ru-
mors and statements from Mexico. The
last and most authentic information, how
ever, settles the war question, for the pre-.
sent. No declaration Of war has been.
or is likely to be, made. The Mexicans
have enough to do to get along with their
own affairs.
Gen. Herrera has been elected Presi-
dent, and the old cabinet resigned or been
displaced.
The new Ministry is composed of the
following persons: Don Manuel de la Pc
nay Pena, Department of State; Don Jose
Bernardo Couto, Justice of Ecclesiastical
Affairs; Don Pedro F. del Castillo, Treasu-
ry Department; and Gen. Pedro Maria
Anaya, Minister of War and Marine.
Gen. Bustamente has been appointed
Commander of the army against Texas.
The country was in an unsettled state,
and the military force was much weakened
by assertions. An attempt to raise new
troops had proven aboriive.
