The GREAr AMERICAN BASIN TnRRIroRY.
A new Territory Is knocking at the door,
not Of the Union, but for admission to that
outer court" where the preparatory
forms Of State sovereignty are learned.
The inhabitants Of the Great American
Basin have met in several localities and
authorized Hon, james M. Crane to act
as their Delegate at Washington in obtain
ing Territorial Organization The region
thus proposed for new Territory is de-
fined as lying between the Sierra Nevada
on the West, the Goose Creek range Of
mountains on the East, the Oregon and
Utah line on the North, and the Colorado
on the South. The inhabitable country Is
made up Of more than two hundred distinct
ValIeys, ranging in size from ten TO one
hundred miles in length, and Of great beau
ty and fertility. The mountainous parts
abound in rich mineral aud metal stores
The whitc population Is not estimated, so
far as we have seen, in the present state
ments, although the California papers have
ridiculded the previous claim TO 1000 in
habitants.
The necessity Of Territorial organiza-
ton is alleged to spring from the maehina-
tions Of the Mormons. They regard the
whole region as their own, and have united
most Of the Indian tribes in their interest.
The Indian population is said to be over a
hundred thousand, all hostile 10 the Ameri-
cans, in a greater or less degree, except
the Pah Yutes, who number forty thousand.
These are intelligent. peaceful. and desirous
Of cooperating with the Americans, which
a regular organization and government
will enable them to do. But until THAI
event, the lives Of the white residents and
Of the numerous emigrants passing through
the Great Basin will be at the mercy Of the
rapacious tribes, stirred up and led on BY
the Mormons. Mr. Crane arrived IN tbo
last California steamer, and proceed at
once to Washington Boston Journal
