THE END OF THE HUpsoN BAY CoMPANY.-The
correspondent of one of the Cleveland papers
who went UP the lakes with the party sent out
by the Canadian Government to make explora-
lions and ascertain the resources of the country
so long monopolized by the Hudson Bay Com
pany, explains the objects of that party. The
charter of this company expires in 1889 1t is
endeavoring to get a renewal from the British
Government, by representing the country to be
unfit for the abodes of civilization. The home
government having offered the Canadian govern
ment jurisdiction over this territory, by paying
the Hudson Bay Company for its Improvements.
Mr.. Hurd, with his party, was sent out to make
an estimate Of the Improvements and report
upon the general character of the country. Mr..
Il. puts The value of the improvement at one
million Of dollars. He represents the country
as being very fertile, producing wheat, oats and
even Indian corn in abundance. He saws here
are many twenty thousand acres of fertile
prairie with a luxuriant growth of grass. If
their statements prove true, the great monopoly
of the Hudson Bay Company must eDd.-1KiI-

THE PRIcE OF BEEF-CoNDTTIoS OF LABoRERs
The reduction in the price OF beef IN ew
York has been more than fifty per cent since
Nav, 1857. The average rates at the , ew ork

year ago they were Is cents. The retail price

Corned beef Is the sane hear as It Is Ia New

Bread is still lower in proportion. So that IN
New York what ismily eats can be bought ~

The price Of labor has nowhere been reduced IN
the same ratio. Thns il would seem that the
general depression does not prepohaefate so

The Governor has appointed Adam c. Hanes
of this city, 70 be Director in the Ohio Peni-
teniiarv in place of ID. L. Woodbury., declined,
to fill the vacancy OecasiOned by the resigna-
ton of l.. G. Van Slyke.
Also, Isaac BraytOn, of Newburgh, and John
Hunter, of Cleveland, to be Trustees of the
Northern Ohio Lunatic Asylum, in place of
Lucian Swift and DIR. J. Lang Casses, resigned.
These appointments are all good ones, and es-
pecially so in the case Of Mr.. Brayton. He was
the author of the excellent law for the Better
Regulation and Government of the Lunatic
Asylums, and will see that it is strictly car
ried out in the Northern Institution.-StGts
Journal.
We trust there will now be harmony and
some permanency, at least, in the Board of
Trustees of the Northern Ohio Lunatic Asy-
Ium, and that the best interests of the imPor-
tant State charity will be judiciously and eff
cicntly cared for. A good report is given of
the administration of Superintendent Kendrick,
and the condition of the institution is said to be
much improved. From various causes it has
been in hot water much of the time since first
opened for patients, and the character of the
Asylum has suffered somewhat in consequence.
Mr. Hunter, one fthe new Trustees, was Rep
resentative from Columbiana county when the
Asylum law was passed, and was an active
member of the Committee on Benevolent Insti-
tutions He has since taken deep interest in
the welfare of the Northern Lunatic Asylum,
and AS Trustee will devote the necessary time
and attention, together with his good sense and
sound Judgment, to the advancement of the
prosperity and usefulness of the Institution.

Success of The Tehnuntepec Route.

The great enterprise of establishing short
route to California by the way of New Orleans
and Tehauutepec has made an auspicious COM
mencement By this channel of cOmmuniea-
ton California is brought within fifteen days of
the Mississippi, and the arrival of the steamer
Quaker City, with the San Francisco mails, by
the way of Tehuantepec, was marked as great
epoch for New Orleans. Taking advantage of
the excitement produced by the arrival of the
steamer, the Company opened books of sub
seription to the stock, and already weekly line
of steamers is talked Of The probability is
that in the course of few months intelligence
will be transmitted between San Francisco and
New Orleans in twelve days, and by telegraph
all over the States east of the Rocky Mountains
Passengers will also be conveyed between San
Francisco and New Orleans in twelve days, only
about half the time necessary on the Panama
route. The achievement will be grand one.

The Artesian Well in the State House yard
has been sunk to the depth of l7s5 feet, and the
boring is going on again at the rate of about
seven feet per day. The Journal says the Com
missioners, contractors, and all concerned are
determined to get jet of the aqueous if they
have to tap the waters of the HOang-Ho river.
The most remarkable Artesian well in the
continent is the one lately completed for the use
of the Paper Mills at Louisville. 1t is three
inches bore, and 2,OS6 feet deep. After boring
through stratum of hard magnetism limestone
six feet in thickness, an abundant volume of
water was obtained, which rises by IFS own
pressure, in pipes, to the height of 40 feet
above the surface, and at the rate $4,000 gal
Ions per "a hours, with mechanical force equal
to a ten horsepower steam engine. When the
whole force Of the water is allowed to cxPend
itself on the central jet, it is projected to the
height of 100 feet, settling down to the steady
flow of a stream 60 feet high. The water is
perfectly clear and Its temperature is 76l degrees
the year round. 1t is highly charged with min
eral properties, and is compared with the Kes-
singer waters of Bavaria, and the Blue Licks of
Kentucky. Such is the substance of the report
on the subject by Prof. Smith of the University
OF Louisville.

Virginia COnVenfiOn---Letcher Nominated
The telegraph reports a stormy time in the
Democratic State Convention held at Petersburg
to nominate a Governor. The scenes were tur-
bulent as N. Y. Tammany convocation, the
Hall being crowded with excited delegates and
outsiders The candidates presented from which
a selection was TO be made were Messrs. Letch-
er, Hopkins, Edmonson, Smith, Brockenbrough
and Tucker. Letcher was regarded as the most
formidable, and was opposed by the Richmond
Enquirer and the Gov. Wise interest with great
bitterness. The Enquirer has been pouring
broadside upon broadside into him daily for
weeks, with no other result, it would seem, than
to increase his popularity with the Democracy
of the State, for on the first ballot he was NOM
mated by about I25 votes over all others.
The Convention met on the Sd, and up to its
meeting the Enquirer kept its anti-Letcher bat
teries in full play Mr.. WISE one of the edit
ors, son of Gov. Wise, opposed Letcher in a
speech in the Convention. The nomination is
hard blow to the Enquirer domination so long
potent in the Old Dominion, and a bitterness
has been engendered in the heated contest that
will require time to cool Off
The nomination of Letcher is certainly sig
nifcant. The main charge brought against
him by the Enquirer was his former unsound-
ness on the slave question. lie had sympathised
with an emancipation movement; in lS45 had
voted for an anti-slavery candidate for the Sen
ate of Virginia; and in the Reform Convention
in 1850 had denounced the institution of slave
ry as 'negro-OlQgy." For these and similar
expressions of prejudice against slavery, the
Richmond Enquirer mathematical John Letch-
er, and correspondent of that paper of Deeem-
Der LIST, in discussing the effect of Letcher's
nomination in 1860, says:
Prominent Wings and Know Nothngs in this
city and elsewhere, make no secret of their
preference for John Letcher, over all other
Democrats, as the nominee Of the Democratic
part7. This preference is not dictated by any
considerations affecting the Gubereatorial con-
test in Virginia, for Democratic victory is in
evitablc in any event, but is based upon the
more important consideration, that the selection
of John Letcher would furnish ample juslifica-
ton for their support of Black Republican in
1860 This they make no secret OF, nor can it
be denied that this motive of preference is
plausible and well founded
On the other hand the Lynchburg Virginian
expressed desire to see John Letcher nomina-
ted by the Petersburg Convention for two rea-
sons, stated as follows
The one is, that he is a gentleman and
true Virginian; and the other, that we desired
10 see a stop put to the everlasting cry about
slavery, which seems to be an inevitable neces-
sity of every election we have, state or Federal.
If the Democracy nominate Mr. LeycheT, it will
hardly lie in their mouths to repeat the old game
of impeaching the fidelity to slavery of the op-
position candidate, at the same time that they
proclaim the superior reliability and sOundness
of their own.

The Meeting of Congress.

Congress meets to-day Dec. 9th, at noon
The session will be short closing on the 4th of
March. The Senate is Democratic, two to one.
In the House, three of the most conspicuous
members of the last session will not answer to
the rln call Gen. Quitman of Mississippi, and
Col Harris, of Illinois, are dead. Mr.. Jones,
Minister to Austria, has resigned. Gov Nc
Rae has been chosen to succeed Gen. Quitman,
and Gen Keim to succeed Mr.. Jones' No sue
cessor of Col. Harris has yet been chosen.
The respective strength OF the Administration
and the Opposition in the House is l2S Demo-
Gratis to 10Y Opposition. Among those classed
as Opposition are several Southern Americans
who will act with the Democrats on the Slavery
question. The session will therefore open with
clear and decided Administration majority in
both branches of Congress, and the responsible
ity of the Legislation, whether good or bad, will
rest with the Democracy.
The session should be a working instead of a
talking one, but judging from the past it will
not be- The South viii commence the Slavery
agitation again probably the first month if not
the first week. and will keep it up until the 4th
of March, unless its Slave Code for the Terrific
ries be sooner enacted. Such important meas
ures as the admission of Oregon, the organiza-
ton OF Dacotah and Arizona, the settlement of
the Utah difficulties, the Kansas Constitution,
the proposed Mexican Protectorate and Loan,
the conduct of the Paraguay Expedition, the
Mail Steamer Contracts, the Tariff Question,
the Pacific Railroad, &c, &c should receive at
tention and final action in some shape, though
few of them probably will Speech making
will be the main business il. both wings of the
Capitol.
By arrangement, The Message of the Presi-
dent is to be delivered to-day. 1t fills no less
than eighteen of the broad columns of the
Washington Union according to the telegraph
report. The Administration must be an extra
ordinary one, TO say the least, that requires its
head to spin out such an interminable exposition
and defence.
