1t will be seen by the news from
Washington in to-days paper that the
Senate has passed the California bill,
and also bills providing Territorial Gov
ernments for New Mexico and Utah.
Now that these bills have passed the
Senate, il is to be hoped that the House
will speedily concu. in those measures,
and thus put an end to the long and, we
may say, almost proftless session that
has been held.
There are great number of meas
ures that ought to have been attended to
this session, that will necessarily be laid
over. But the people would be well
satisfied if, after settling the slavery ques-
ton, they would adjourn, and that the
continued state of quarreling kept up in
Congress should be put an end to.

Mail Route.

Numerous enquiries have been made
of us, as to what has been done in Con-
gress about mail route from Lancaster
in Keokuk CO., by way Of this place to
Drakesville in Davis county. In answer
to these enquiries we would say, that a
petition numerously signed, was forwar-
ded on to our Representatives in Con-
gress, and that bill establishing that
route was introduced in the Senate, for
that purpose, by Gen. Dodge, early in
the session, but that no action was taken
upon it. 1t is highly probable that Con-
gress will adjourn as soon as the Califor-
MIA and Territorial bills are passed. and
that we shall have to wait until next ses-
sion TO get this much needed route estab-
lished.

letter to the Picayune alluding to the
statements made by various correspond

are full OF errors and misstatemenis, and
add:
Some OF them are calculated to give
pain 70 many who loved him in life and
revere his memory, from the apprehen.
sions they express that he has left an
embarrassed estate and family INSULT

These representations, we are happy
to be able to say, are unfounded in ev-
cry particular. As his agents for more
than twenty-five years, we can say with
some certa inty that he leaves to his FAM
lily, in bank stock and other valuable
property, the amount Of two hundred
thousand dollars.
He never, to our knowledge, was in
debted to any one. We have never seen
his obligation in the shape of note.--

the Sioux country, but which will ulti-
matoly form either new State, or be-
come the most attractive portion of Min
nesota. A more beautiful region lies not
under the sun, and il is not to be wonder
ed at that the poor Indians should be re-
luctant to part with it. Its purchase
and the removal of the Indians, will be
a signal which will be hailed with delight
by the rushing thousands, and will mark
the founding of one of>rhe noblest States

sippi upon its East, an outlet by naviga-
BILE streams to the Missouri on the West,

pregnant future, ora higher destiny
Through this beautiful region il is propo-
sed to continue the improvement towards
its ultimate termination. Tha. the req

and to warrant it, within the space of a
brief period, is fact not admitting of
doubt, if we take the history OF the pas,
as safe rule of reasoning.
The trade Of the Hudson's Bav settle

At present it is monopolized by the Brit

If American enterprise should be so far
encouraged, by the fostering hand of our
own government, as to enable our own
traders to enter into competition, the d.
version of large amount Of this trade
into our own hands would soon follow
as an inevitable result. 1t is certainly
worth looking after.

summer, particularly applied TO men
