MIR. HUNTERS LAND BILL.

MIR. HUNTERS LAND BILL.
We copy into columns, from the National negen-
extended synopsis of the bill introduced by Mr. Hun
ter as substitute for the homestead BILL and which was
adopted and passed by the Senate by vote of than
two This BILL ALSO like the other assures posses
sion of limited portions of the public lands heads OF
families settling them, and gives complete title after
five years occupancy the payment of graduated
according the time the lands have been in market
This varies from dollar to tweveand-half cents
per t3sE
The second feature of the bill u.s. TINT it makes gen
era provision for grants Of alternate sections of land on
the lines Of railroads chartered by the States. ~
The third and most remarkable provision is that where
by the States allowed to take possession and acquire
title TO- the lands within their limits the same terms
individual Eettlers.
If the reader will consider what an innity of yexaous
and absorbing questions will be finally settled by this bill
if it shall receive the approval of the Hoase be will admit
that it is of the most important brought
before Congress 1t reaches and remedies nearly all the
evils that have long beet the question of the disposal
the public lands The details Of the bill may be criticised
but whole it Ia statesmanlike, comprehensive and
in its effects promises to confer great benefits the
try.
All the provisions of the bill are general and look to
permanent disposal Of the questions reached by it, Be-
Sides understand it, it enables the States to take
possession Of and acquire title the whole public domain
within their limits and thus provides for the withdrawal
Of government administration and patronage so far as
these lands concerned In this respect il contempates
the object the land bill brought forward by Mr.
Calhoun many years ago. All the impressive arguments
by which great statesman sustained his then
have gained strength year by year. and all his predictions
evil from leaving the question open trading capital for
demagogues and spoil for projectors have been than
fulfilled
II is to be hoped that fruitful of corruption
and legislative obstruction may at length be queted We
have every to believe that Mr. Hunters bill

The RUSSIAN CHURCH.-The Russian
church affects toleration. OF the vast
population of fully $4,000 900, only about
100000 are members of the regular
church; 100000 are dissenters or here
tics to that church itself; $500 900 Ro-
man Catholics are found throughout the
wide domains of the Car and 90. .OOt
Armenians. The Protestants of the Aups-
burg Confession Of Faith, amounts 10
1000, 600: those of the Reform Church
$1,000. There are 10000 Moroyians.
while no less than 2, 500, 900 belong to the
Mahometan creed. The Jews are Coo. .0O0
in number, and the followers of that mys-
teriOus potentate, and Grand Thibet
amount to no less than half that number
There are creeds still more extraordinary
throughout the enormous tract of TERRITORY
which constitutes the Russian Empire.
10000 are open idolatprs, and no less
than 100000 are addicted to the disgust
ing practice of Feticism, worshipping
bats, cows, and every uncouth specimen
oi brute as representative of the divinity
Of Heaven.

THE CALoRIC SHIP ERICssoN.-Mr.
Ericsson writes to the New York papers,
as follows =
Il have much pleasure in assuring
you that there is not the slightest cause
for the doubt you express in relation to
this enterprise. The new engines are
completed, and have been at work for
several days, their operation proving
conclusively that the practical difficulties
which attended the first arrangement
have all been overcome. The new en-
gines are much reduced in size, whilst
their principle of action is the same as be-
fore, with this exception only, that con-
densed atmospheric air is employed in
place of the ordinary atmospheric, for
producing the motive power. This mod
itication admits of an increase of power,
limited only by the capability of retain
ing the pressure in the machine. Some
difficulty has been experienced in this
respect, and it is this which has caused
some dely recently. The obstacle is,
however, nearly removed, and the public
will shortly have an opportunity of judg-
ing by practical evidence Of the merits of
the Caloric ship"

Who narries for love, takes q wife;

garded by your mistress; tolerated by
your lady. You have wife for yourself:
a mistress for your house and friends:
and a lady for the world. Your wife will
agree with you: your mistress will ae-
commodate you; and your lady will man.
age you. Your wife will take care Of
your household; your mistress of YOUR
house: your lady of appearances. If you
are sick, your wife will nurse YOU: your
mistress will visit you, your lady will in
luire after your health. You take walk
with your wife, ride with your mistress,
and join parties with your lady. Your
wife will share your grief, your mistress
your money, and your lady your debts.
If you are dead, your wife will shed
tears, your mistress lament, and your LADY
weep.

FOUNDATION OF GREAT WESTERN
CITY.--A letter from Council Bluffs gives
the following brief but intelligent descrip-
ton of a place that is growing rapidly
into Importance and will soon be q great
city in the West:
Council Bluffs City is situated in Pot
tawatomie county, Iowa, and is the Prin-
cipal Quitting and starting place for
emigrants to California, Utah and Oregon.
Five years ago its site WAS occupied by
few Indian huts. Its present population
is about fifteen hundred. There are now
five railroads projecting from the town to
different points. and the inhabitants claim
that the only practical route for Pacific
Railroad is through their place. Laborers'
wages range from IS cents to 81 50 per
day, and from twelve to twenty dollars a
month. The neighboring county is we'll
adapted to farming purposes, and its ad-
vantageS, as well as those Of Council
Bluffs, find an able advocate in the Wes-
tern Bugle. From that paper Of the Cd
inst, we clip the 6llowing:
Some of our merchants sell fifty
thousand dollars worth of goods yearly.
Land that was offered for three hundred
dollars one year ago, was sold soon after
the Land Office was opened here for ff.
teen hundred, and is now worth five
thousand. The Ii. w. Miller farm sold
in 1851 for seven hundred dollars-it now
is laid out IN lots which sell readily from
one TO five huNlred dollars per lot, and
still rising rapidly in value. We have
six ferries across the Missouri in this
vicinity, all Of which are prepared to
cross emigrants. Add to which the large
business houses Of our city, and the
secret is told Of our rapid growth, as
well of the emigration centers here to
outfit across the plains and this. season
our merchants have done a very good
business with the emigrants who have
returned from the Pacific across the
plains. Instead of taking the grave yard
route usually taken by returned emigrants,
via the Isthmus, next season we NAV ex-
pect much larger return emigration, as
stations for their convenience will be built
by private enterprise up the Platte VAL
ley. Council Bluffs City is the half way
station for the commerce ST the world.
