BRIGHAM You've AND HIS SUCCESSOR
The Washington correspondent of the Cour-
ier & Enquirer writes as follows in regard
to the Governorship Of Utah:
The official term of Governor Brigham
Young, of Utah Territory, expired on Fri
day, the 29th Of Sept. His Successor has
not yet been agreed upon, and | learn that
the appointment of one has been found a
matter of considerable difficulty. Young
will not be re-appointed, but it is we'll known
that no man, not a Mormon, could govern
that lawless and impious community with
out the material aid of one or two well an
pointed regiments. The Secretary of the
Territory, A. w. Babbit, formerly delegate
in Congress, will direct affairs until the fnr-
ther action of the President. The political
insubordination of these people is as remar-
kable as their moral and religious irregular
tiles. Mr.. Young and his associates have
not thought fit to forward copies of their
Territorial laws, or the accounts of the ex-
penditures of the public appropriations for
the past two years.

PROFITS OF FRUIT GROWING IN OREGoN.
Two CROPS OF APPLES IN A YEAR.-The
Statesman mentions three apples grown in
Oregon, which weighed, the largest, thirty
three ounces-the other two, two pounds
each. They were sound and perfectly form
ed. Rev. j. M. Garrisons orchard. pro-
duced this season about three hundred bush
els of apples, and he has sold from it $4,000
worth. Apples have commanded about Sl5
per bushel; this would make his crop of ap-
pies worth $4500. A profitable crop truly.
Fruit growing is, and promises to continue,
the most lucrative business in the territory,
Mr.. Garrisons orchard comprises twenty
acres, though he has now but 100 bearing
trees. His oldest trees were planted in
1845. From the product of one tree he this
fall realized $3.50. He has one tree upon
which there is now about bushel of good
sized apples of second growth. The first
rlpened and was gathered in September and
the tree was then in bloom. Mr.. Garrison
presented the editor of the Statesman with
a dozen or two of the second growth of ap-
pies, which were of respectable size, and
gave every promise of arriving at perfec-
ton. They bloomed the second time about
the lst of September, and Immediately after
the tirsterop was gathered. Alta Cal.

FAMILIES AMONG Us.-We are pleased
to notice the arrival of Hon. J. Conness and
family to our village-also Mr. Cunning
ham and family. Mr.. Cunningham has for
several years been a highly respectable mer-
chant in this place. Mr.. Mckinney, also
has been favored by the return of his lady
who, by-the-way, has been on visit to her
"old familiar home" in the States. The
above families will make great addition
to the social circles of our place. Indeed
we consider their settlement among us as a
happy omen to the prosperity and perma-
nency of our town.
The gentlemen above mentioned are all
pioneers in the settlement of Georgetown
and to their enterprise in connection with
that of others, are we indebted to the pres
ent prosperous condition of our village
We greet them with hearty welcome.

BRICK MANUFACToRY. - Mr. William
Wells Of this place informs us that it is his
intention to open out brick yard in this
place as early in the spring as the season
will permit. He also informs us that there
are already sufficient demands for brick for
building purposes, &C., to justify the regular
establishment fhis business in Georgetown
in brick-making.
We are truly gratifed that our town is
to be adorned with the erection of several
large brick houses, which we are creditably
informed are to be put up during the course
of the coming spring and summer, among
which is large two story brick by Graham
& Co., and another by Frankenthal & Co.
These, together with two or three Others
which we understand are in anticipation
will make valuable addition to our already
beautiful town. Evidences like these we
think will be sufficient to convince those at
distance that Georgetown not only IS, but
is going to be, one of the first and most -four.
ishing towns in the mountains.

ONLY MINER.-N Nothing is becoming
more common in our cities and towns than
the expression, "He is only MINER
Yonder is, for instance, man who in the
manliness of his heart has worked, strug-
gled, and by the industry of years has final
ly laid up sufficient amount of money to
justify him in the immediate resolution of
returning home--a home in the States, per-
haps, where an aged parent or an affection
ate wife is earnestly awaiting the return of
the loved and distant wanderer. He writes
to them of his resolution, and informs them
that through his own industry, and the ia
vor of Heaven, he has accumulated means
sufficient to make their homes happy and
their lives pleasure. Full of these fond
anticipations, he prepares himself for his
journey. And now we find him in one of
our towns and cities previous to his depar-
ture. Perhaps he is at Church, perhaps at
the Theatre. 1t is true his face is brown
and his hands are rough and bony, but con-
scious in having faithfully discharged his
duty, he marches boldly to the seat best
suited to his taste, and in doing so, we hear
the low enquiry made is that rough
looking man sitting directly in front of u.s."
"Phough, he IS only a MINER" is the con-
temptuous answer. Only miner-only! Vi
Hold, my dear sir, the words you are utter
ing are blasphemous and unkind We know
not whom you may be, whether your pockets
are full, or whether they are like your head
empty; but that man whom you treat so
scornfully is one of the noblest of Gods Gre
ated beings; he is beloved at home, and,
though the exterior is rough, and perhaps
somewhat uncouth, the soul, the elmer
man, is all comeliness and beauty. His
heart beats in sympathy with the joys and
miseries of his fellow beings, and the blood
that courses along his manly veins is, every
drop of it, subject to the demands of the op-
pressed, and to the call of his country. Be
sides, sir, 1t IS not always the handsOmest
coat that covers the truest gentleman, nor
the greasyest hair that covers the most intel
ligence and brains! Was that man to speak
to you, or ask you question, you might be
forced to a crimsoned blush, with the know
ledge that you acere too agnorant to give a
cerrect answer. We would therefore eau
tion you to beware against whom you speak,
and not to judge of a man merely by his ex-
ternal appearances. True gentility and
courtesy extends itself to all classes, wheth-
er they be rich or poor, whether they be
bond or free, whether they belong to this
circle in society, or whether they belong to
that; it is all the same with him who is
truly gentleman-with him in whose
breast beats heart of true kindness and
philanthropy.

ATLANTIC AND EUROPEAN NEws.-By
the arrival of the j. L. Stephens we are IL
receipt of Eastern papers bearing seven days
later date than that brought by the Sierra

The Washington correspondent of the
New Y ork Tribune communicates the sur
prising intelligence that the British Gov
ernment have determined to abandon all
assertion of the Mosquito Protectorate, as
far as San Juan is concerned, and will leave
the sovereignty of that place to be settled
between the claimants, without doing more
than maintain the provisions of the Clay
! ton-Bulwer Treaty as regards the freedom
of the port and transit route. At the same
time the claims of bona-fide British subjects
for damages from the late bombardment oi
the town, will alone be urged by the Cabi
net of ST. James. We shall be gratifed to
find the intelligence confirmed.

WOMANS RIGHTS CONyENTION.-The Ma
tional Convention for the advocacy of the
Rights of Women met in annual session on
Wednesday morning, Oct. Is, in Philadel-
phia. The attendance Was large and most
ly composed of those who had social and
political injuries to redress. Mrs Davis,
President of last years Convention at
Cleveland, called the meeting to order, and
Mrs. Ernestine L. Rose was chosen Presi-
dent. She accepted the position, though
fearful of inability to discharge the duties
satisfactorily, as she was enfeebled by re-
cent attack of inflammation of the lungs
She stated the objects of the Convention.
They had claims to human rights-not the
mere rights of woman in cOntradistinction
to the rights of man, for humanity knows no
distinction. The sexes are alike in regard
to pleasure and pain, joy and sorrow, hap
piness and misery, life and death; woman is
alike subject to all that befals man. We
claim right to the elective franchise, fol-
none are safe under any government unless
they participate in making it. We have a
right to be represented as well as man.
We do not wish it to be understood that We
war with individual man, but against baC
principles. After a few further remarks
the President announced the following off
GERS:
Vice Presidents -Lucretia Mott of Phil
adelphia; Frances D. Gage of Missouri; T.
NJ. Higginson of Massachusetts; Martha c.

In calling attention to DIR. GuysOtt's
Improved Extract of Yellow Dock and Sarsapa-
rilla, we feel confident that we are doing a SER
vice to all who may be affected with Scrofulous
and other disorders, originating in hereditary
taint, or from impurity of the blood. We have
known instances within the sphere of our ac-
quaintance, where the most formidable distem-
pers have been cured by the use of Guysott's Ex-
tract of Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla alone.
1t is one of the few advertised medicines that
cannot be stigmatized with quackery, for the
''Yellow Dock" and the "Sarsaparilla" are well
known to be the most efficient (and at the same
time innoxuous) agents in the whole MateriG
Medica, and by far the best and purest prepara-
ton of them is DR.. Guysott's Yellow Dock and
Sarsaparilla.
