The steamer j. b. Gordon, which ar
ived from Keokuk yesterday, was pur-
chased about one year ago to trade IN
the Desmoines river, and was engaged
in it last season until the water became
SO low that she was unable 20 run with
profit. The Gordon is owned at Farm
ington, flourishing liule town. SITUATED
above the mouth of The Desmoines, and
was intended, by her owners, for tow
boat TO bring out coal from the extensive
mines at that place to Quincy, and other
towns along the Mississippi river.
The Desmoines river Is rising. and
large amounts of various kinds of pro-
duce may be expected from the many
we'll filed warehouses along its banks.
as soon as boats shall have fairly got TO
work to bringing j. out. During last
season there were five or six boats en-
gagged in tina, trade regularly. The
freigh, brought on. by them was reship-
ped at the mouth of the river as soon as
il arrived, on the Ksokuk packets for
for this city. and was generally put down
on the boats manifests as having been
received from Keokuk, when il should
have been credited to the Desmoines riy-
or.
There will be an immense business
done in the Desmoines river trade the
coming season, as the warehouses in the
many growing towns which are situated
along The river, are said to be fil,eG with
grain awaiting the arrival of steamboats,
TO bring it to market, which are now get
ting ready to start up. How many
steamboats, there will be engaged ia this
trade We do not know to certainly. but
are informed by those who are posed up
in the matter. tina. there will be eight or
ten a, least. The Harmon, new boat,
now building here, and nearly ready to
receive her machinery. on board. lie in
tended for that trade, and will enter in il
as soon as completed. Mr.. Hill. mer-
chant engaged in bushes a; the mouth
of that river, has recently purchased a
boa, on the Ohio. and will have her in
there before long. The Julia Deans,

b. Gordon, Luella, Jenny Lind, and one
or two other boats, whose names we dc
not recollect, were running there last

THE PRoPosED TERRIToRY.-'rhe bill of
Mr.. johnson, establishing the new territory
of Neosho, will be the special order in the
Senate for Tuesday, the 18th of December.
This territory is situated between the oath
and 37th degrees of latitude and the oath
and Tooth degrees of longitude. 1t contains
a tract of about AZ ,000,0 600 acres between the
Rel River and Louisiana and the southern
boundary of Kansas. This has been by a
treaty at different times allotted to the Cher
kee, Creek, Chocktaw, Chickasaw and Semi
mole Indians, who number about 60,000.-
These Indians are all shareholders, the negro
population of all the tribes amounting, II few
years since, TO 1000 The New York Eve
ming Post says of Mr.. Johnson's bill;-"It is
artfuly provided that the whole territory shall
be protected against any law excluding slave
labor from its soil" We know that this bill
has given several members of Congress from
the Free States no little uneasiness, and we
believe the project will receive the sanction
and support of the administration. We may
have another Nebraska battle during the
present session of Congress.

defines his position in the last number Of his
paper. He says that some of his contempo-

MES the soft Impeachment. He says he voted
for Perre for President, Through the Tuga-
loo ticket and for Herschal V. Johnson for
Governor of Georgia, but has been deceived
in ?ierce's Administration and in the Georgia
Democracy. Therefore, he disclaims all al.
legieuce to the party, and stands SOLITARY and
alone on his own individual platform. What
that platform is, he does not state, but it is
evidently broad one, for he stands ready TO
cooperate with any party whose views hap.
pen for the nonce to most nearly coincide

RESISTANCE TO TEXAS IN OHIo-Great ex-
element prevails in portions of Ohio, particu-
larly in the cities, in regard to the construc-
ton of section of the law imposing taxes.
1t appears that debts due to individuals are
taxed, and the Auditor of State refuses to
allow deductions for offsets, &c. 1t is calcu-
lated that one hundred millions of dollars
will be added to the assessment by this con-
struction. More than two thousand of the
best business men OF all classes in Cincinnati
have pledged themselves to resist the tax, and
a mass meeting was held at Cincinnati on the
I'd instant to concert measures of resistance.
At this meeting they resolved to "pay no tax
upon credit without the lawful offset or de.
duction until the same shall have been de-
clared the true intent and meaning of the
statute, after full hearing before the highest
judicatores known to our laws"
