to his "fellow citiseus' Of Carson Valley,
furnishes some interesting information con-
csrn'ng the future action Of Congress, rela.
tive to the formation Of new territory out
OF the western por.ion Of Utah, under the
name Of Sierra Nevada. The Judge appears
to be very enthusiastic, energetic, untiring
and loving in his endeavors to organize the
new Territory and secure his seat in Con.
gress. He think he will saccsed in doing

csives the sanction Of Congress. We sin.
cerely trust that the Hon. Delegate will not
be obliged to await such an impossible
event. Being clever and agreeable gen.
tleman, the Judge and bis Territory should
be considered upon their own merits. The
new Territory will be bounded on the east
by the Goose Creek Mountains, on the west
BY the Sierra Nevada or the eastern bounda.
ry line Of California. on the north by the
Oregon line, and on the south by the Colo.

Houses Of Congress by all parties, as having

the limits OF the Mormons In tho Great Ba.

stations at the head Of Goose Creek, and at
Gravelly Ford on the Humboldt He also
thinks that station will be established at
Cedar City where the emigrant massacre oc.

pass to bridge the deep snow region on
the Sierra Nevada over the Honey Lake

communication between our Territory and
California all the year around. The deep
