King Ninrod one day commanded his
three sons to enter his presence. and he
caused 10 be placed before them by his
slaves three sealed urns. One of The
nrns was of gold, the second of amber,
and the last of clay. The king desired
his eldest son to choose among them lha,
which appeared tn contain the treasure
Of the greatest price. The eldes, chose
The vase Of gold, on which was written
''Emplre.' He opened it and found i,
full Of blood. The second chose the
amber vase, on which was written "Glo.
ry.". He opened ii and found it filled
with The ashes Of men who had been ia
nous on the earth. The third took the
remaining vase-tha. Of clay. He o.
oened /, and found it empty; hu. in the
bottom the potter had written one of the
names Of God. (which of these vases

his court. The ambitious replied, the

mound, so far as i, has been rxcAvated
and tested, is composed of these Jumps
Of ore, almost as pure as pig meal, east,
j. separated frem the clay which fills
the in'ersiices. In many places, scarce
y any thing bni Iumps of pure ore. with
hardly any admix,ure, appear. In some
parts Of the workings, The ore taken out
requires no roasting to prepare i, for the
furnace; but generally it is roasted ia i'm
mense heaps, which a. this time form a
large store for future use. When this
mound. or that portion OF il above the
level Of The furnaces, is oil changed from

proceed 10 excavaie below that level, or
continue eastward a few hundred feet,

zach stockade, would guarantee the transmission

each stockade, would guarantee the transmission
of Daily Express Letter Mails between the
Missouri and the Pacific-a distance of about
two thousand miles-in about half the time
now consumed between New York and San
Francisco-thus incidentally rendering this
line one of the best and quickest mail routes in
the world, and also the most economical, il the
mounted soldiery should, as they might advan-
tageously, transport light letter mails, without
extra expense, while performing their daily pa
troll duty along the route-thus protecting and
encouraging travelling and settlement in the
most efficient manner, and Offering inducements
for the immediate cultivation of lands along
the route, for supplying emigrants and travellers
and at the same time incidentally securing the
early construction and efficient protection of
Telegraph Lines, which would s.annihilate time
and spacen by the rapidly of their commune
cations between the Atlantic and Pacific divis-
ions of the United States.
Be it therefore Resolved, That the Senator's
and Representatives Of the State of Iowa, in
the Congress of the United States, be and they
are hereby requested to use all proper efforts to
procure the establishment of the policy herein
advocated-a policy which, if it had been
adopted when first proposed seven years ago,
would ere this have caused the establishment of
a continuous line Of settlcments-whereat emf
grants and travellers could readily find susten-
ance and defence, together with postal and tele-
graphic facilities for communicating with their
distant friends and with the business world, in
stead Of being debarred from omfort and pro-
lection and correspondence for months Gas at
presently while travelling between the frontiers
Of Iowa and Missouri and the Pacific Ocean.
And be it further Resolved, That the Govern
