NEW MONTHLY MAGA-

Ill zine has now reached monthly edition OF
over One Hundred and Twenty-Five Thousand
copies, and the demand for il is still increasing
with greater rapidity than ever. This unparal-
leled and unexpected success has compelled the

at the same time preserving the typographical ele-
gance by which it has always been distinguished
II is now electrotyped by a new process, which
makes il easy to print any number of copies from
the same plates, without in the least mpairing the
clearness and beauty of the impression. The
publishers desire to repeat their cordial acknowl
edgments to the press and the public for the ex-
traordinary favor which has thus far attended
their efforts 10 interest and instruct the great body
of the American people, and to renew their as
surances that every possible effort will be made
to increase still further the claims Of their maga-
zine upon public favor and support. II will con-
tinue to present, at the cheapest price, the most
interesting and instructive literary matter, original
and selected, domestic and foreign, in the most
elegant and convenient style, and accompanedby

penditure of money can command. They appeal

their promises for the future will be abundantly
fulfilled.

Important Government Instructions In Re-
gard to Indian Territory.

The st. Joseph Cycle, of the goth instant,
says that Col. James M. Gatewood, Indian
agent, had reached that city from st. Louis, on
his way to his agency. We understand that he
received at st. Louis orders from Washington
to assemble as soon as practicable the Oma-
has, Ottoes, Missouries, Pawnees and their
halfbreeds, including Great Platte River Val
ley, for the purpose of ascertaining the terms
upon which they will sell, and the amount of
territory they are willing to dispose of and to
plenary power to repair at once to Washington
for the purpose of concluding treaty. Should
Col. Gatewood succeed, Of which he has no
doubt, in obtaining the consent of the several
named tribes to sell, he will take the chiefs on
with him to Washington for the purpose Of
concluding treaty.
The district of country embraced in this
proposition to buy is about one half of the re-
served lands included within the bounds of
Nebraska territory. It is all that country
fronting on the Missouri, opposite to Iowa,
and that part of the State Of Missouri, above
the.great Nemaha.
These instructions from the government are
highly important, and Col. Gatewood will use
every effort to carry them out forthwith, and of
his success he has no doubt. IL successful,
Nebraska may yet be ready for settlement by
midsummer
Col. Gatewood left st. Joseph on the goth,
and will hold councils with the above-named
tribes Immediately, with view of repairing to
Washington city as early in February as prac-
ticable. He is an energetic man, and viii ac-
complish his mission as soon as any gentleman
that could have been chosen.

Provision Trade.

A commencement has been made, and we
are now enabled to report two or three pretty
important transactions in pork and lard. Prices
open fully as well as anticipated, and the de-
mand is as brisk as could be expected, consid-
ering the closed state of navigation, scarcity of
money, &C. Yesterday a sale of 900 barrels of
mess pork, Springfield packed, was made at
$l2 25, deliverable next month. The day pre-
vious 800 barrels and terces OF lard sold at &c.,
deliverable upon the opening OF navigation.
These transactions, serve as a criterion to the
market and may be taken as the present value
of the two articles named. Mess pork at $l2
$l2 25 pays but mproft upon four-dollar
hogs, but lard at &c. does better, and bulk meats
at 5 a54c., hog round, does still better It's not
presumable, however, that these prices are to
govern the market for any length Of time. The
closing of the packing season, now at hand,
will determine the matter. If there should be
no great increasein the number of hogs slaugh-
tered throughout the country this over last sea-
son, the fact will do much towards stimulat-
ing the product, and it is certainly fair in that
case to calculate upon no decline in prices.
It is settled, we believe, beyond doubt, that
there is to be no increase in the number fhogs
slaughtered; and as to weight there is such va
riety of opinion that the result can only be fully
determined at the close of the season. With
no increase in numbers, the increased weight,
ifany, will have very little effect when we con-
slider that full returns have been had from
nearly one-half the entire crop, and they show
little or no difference from last seasons op-
erations in this respect. The increased weight,
therefore, in Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri, at
very liberal calculation, could not make the
gain in pounds, provided the numbers were
equal, more than five to eight per cent on the
entire packing.
As the season draws nearer to a close and
more definite accounts reach us from the Hi
nois and upper Mississippi, the feeling to hold
on or to advance prices seems general; and, in
a few words, there is decidedly more confidence,
not only with the packer, but also with the
dealer and speculator, and, as we before re-
Marked much depends upon the total number
exhibited at the close-.S. Louis Reporter.
