clustering in which English merchants ard
journ SIS now indulging.
During this unprecedented march, alono
and among savages, TO whom i wlfits face was
a miracle, DR.. Livingston was compelled to
struggle through indescribsbIc hardships--
The hostilities of the natives he conquered by
his intimate knowledge of their character and
the Bechuana tongue to which theirs is related
He waded rivers and slept in the sponge and
oozc of marshes, being often dfenched as
to be compelled to turn bis armpit into watch
pocket. His cattlo were destroyed by the ter
ribIe tse-tse fly and he was too poor TO pur-
chase a canoe. Lions were numerous, being
worshiped by many of the tribes as the recep-
tacle of the departed souls ofthcir CHIEFS dan
gerous, too, as his crushed arm testifes- How
ever he thinks the fear of African wild beasts
greater in England than in Africa. Many of
his documents were lost while crossing river
in which he came near losing his life also, bus
he has memoranda Of tho ATTITUDES and lonsi-
tudes of a multitude OF cities, towns, rivers
and mountains, which will go far TO fill up tho
''unknown region in our aliases.
Toward the interior he found the country
more fertile and more populoUs. The natives
worshipped idols, believed in transm grated
existence alter death, and performed religious
ceremonies in groves and woods. They were
less fcrocious and suspicious than the seaboard
tribes, had tradition of the dcluge and moro
settled Governments. Some of them practi-
ced inoculation, and used quinine, and all
were eager for trade, being entirely dependent;
of which would purchase slave. Their Ian
guage was sweet and expressive. Although
their women, on the whole, Were not well trea-
ted q man having as many wives as lie chose,
they were complete mistresses of their own
houses and gardens which the husband dared
not enter ia his wife's absence They we're
fond of show and glitter, and much $50
had been given for an English rife. On tho
arid plateau of the interior water-meloBssup
piled the plIcc-of wafer for some months of tho
year, as they do on the Plains of Hungary in
Summer. A Quaker tribe on the river Zanss,
never fight, never have consumption, scrofula,
hydruphohiI, cholera, smallpox or measles
These advantages. however, counterbaian-
cei by the necessity of assiduous devotion to
trade and raising children TO make good their
loss from the frequent inroads Of their fight
ing neigbbOrs.
Dr. Livingstone's discoveries, in their char
acter and their commercial value. have been
declared by Sir. Roacric MurcLis0n to be su-
periOr to any since the discovery of the Cape
of Good Hope by Vasco de Cana. But great
cr than any commercial value is the lesson
which they teach-that all obstacles yield to
resoiu;s man.

TERRITog1AL COMMITTEE.

The Committee onTerrtories have prepared
a report adverse TO the petition Of the citizens
of Carson Valley, asking tor the annexation of
that portion OF Utah Territory to California
One Of the reasons for refusal is that Califor-
mia is too large already, and would be made
more unwieliy By such extension of its
boundaries. The committee believe ihat some
measure Of wider scope is necessary to effect
cure OF the evils ofwhich the citizens of Carson
VALLEY complain, namely, Mormon oppres-
sionsi and accordingly recommend the p=s-
sage OF the bill now on the calendar, fer tic
prevention and punishment of bigamy This,
they add, would remove the moral and poliii-
cal pestilencc which makes Utah the scandal
of the American people.
ARIZONA TERRITORY.
The Territorial Committee have prepared An
Enfavorablc report OH the petition for tie Or
ganiz ,iion of Territorial Government in Az
izona, in the GIdsdea purchase. From tha
statements to the committee, it appears there
are from eight 10 ten thousand inhabitants
therein, and by the lowest estimate, from two
to three Thousand. Taking the mediun there
are from five TO seven thousand white inhabi-
a seperate government, and will not warrant
the large expenditure necessary. The Com
mittee intend reporting a bill establishing
Judicial District south OF the Gila creating
the Office OF Surve, or General, providing fo-
the adjudication of certain land claims, grant,
ing donations of lands TO actual settlers, and
providing for representation in the Legislature
of New Mexico. This is all ihe redress tho
case requires, in the opinion OF the committee.
ALLEGED CoRRUPTIoNs.
The Select Committee to examine into tho
alleged corruptions, adopted at their meeting
a stringent rule, with view to the preyep-
tioa OF permature exposure of their proceed
ings, and took initiatory steps for sunmoninc
Witnesses. They likewise instructed their
chairman to offer "a resolution asking the House
TO enlarge their powers. This was done, and
the House granted the most ample scope TO
the Inquiries of the committee. Tie commit
tee are in earnest. They have upwards Of ,hir-
~ persons on their list of Witnesses Among
them . nuGbcr of influential members Of the
