DECoTAH TERRIToIY.--This new Territory,
which, in 1856, did not contain one white in
habitant, has now population of upwards OF
ten thousand. Seven fiourishirg towns have
sprung up in various portions Of tie country,
within the brief space of one year, and al
ready give promise of future importance
Medary, the capital, and Sioux Falls City,
comprise each about thirty houses "a saw mill,
store, blacksmith and wagon shop. Medary
is situated on the Big Sioux river, some sew
enty miles above the Falls City, and promises
to rival, at no distant day, the most enter
prising towns in Alinnesots. Besides the
advantages it derives from its location as a
commercial point, the country around it is
unsurpassed in beauty of scenery and fertili-
ty of soil.
Sioux Falls City is at the head Of naviga-
zion on the Big Sioux river, and possesses
the most prodigious water power in the
country. 1t is fast growing in importance,
and its facilities for prosecuting the various
branches of manufacturing industry will
enable it soon to take position beside the
most fourishing towns in the West.

the recall Of tine Secretary, but it has
been CURLY refused. A second demand
has been made, with an intimation that
if the Secrataryship be not given
more acceptable person, the Minister
himself will resign. The times are emf.
nently propitiOus for his return. If now
at the head of his old adherents, he
could change the current Of political
events in the State, and before the con-
clusion Of the year would he likely to
acquire Senatorial robes for the discarded
diplomatic garb and its vexations. The
execution of the imprudent threat of
some injudicious Bright man in the Con-
vention Of the Sth instant, that the Gov
ernor's appointment would be rejected
by the Senate, if his friends were not
docile, would, though suicidal act in
the Bright party. be a most happy
event in the fortunes Of the Governor.
His native State never had greater need
o. his presence than in the present crisis,
to take the lead of the popular masses
against The Office holders. His return
would be hailed with more pleasure by
his fellow citizens than was his point.

rSy- y most barbarous case of slave whip
ping has been brought before the Criminal
Court at st. Louis. In July last the atten-
ton of several persons was attracted by the
sound of blows proceeding from the house of
a Mrs. Peters. Their curiosity being excited,
they went to the fence opposite the house,
and looking through the cracks saw Mrs.
Peters-a large ana powerful woman-with
q rawhide in her hand, lashing naked girl,
whose hands were tied behind her, and W no
was lying upon the ground. The woman's
foot was upon the girls neck, and she lay on
the lashes with all her strength. Growing
tired, she called her brother-in-law, John
Peters, who whipped the girl in the same
manner for nearly two hours. The blood
streamed from the poor girls back, and her
shoulders were like mass of raw flesh. The
fiends who perpetrated the horrible outrage
were fined $1,000 each, and sentenced to inn
prisonment .cr one year.

GOVERNOR WRIGHT.

Mr.. Gaillardet, editor Of the French
paper in New York, the Courier des-
Etats Unis" writing from Paris, says
"the diplomatic record has been enliven-
ed by the accounts given in letters from
Berlin, of the mode Of life of Mr.. Wright,
the new Minister Of the United States at
the Prussian Court. AS he belongs to
the Temperance Society, he gives moth
ing to drink but water to his guests when
he invites them to dine. He sets before
them dishes Of maize, which is compared
to the black broth Of the Spartans, and
much amusement is afforded by his 60
ing to market himself to purchase his
simple food"

Won Humboldt, on which occasion all the
American residents OF Berlin, about forty
in number, were present and introduced

cordance with temperance law, but con-
trary to German custom, there was no

SAVINGS BANKs.-It is surprising
there are no more Savings Banks estab-
lished in the West and South; They
are important agents in the commercial
prosperity of the North. and might be
made Of still greater consequence at the
West, where the non-commercial classes
earn more money and have more surplus
cash for investment, if they could be in
duced to save and deposit it. 1t appears
that Massachusetts, has eighty-si1 Sa-
wings Banks, and that on the Goth of
September last-nearly the worst time
of the financial crisis"-the amount OF
deposits in these institutions exceeded
THIRTY THREE MILLIONS Of dollars, an
average OF about twenty-five dollars for
every man, woman and child living in
the State. The amount uf dividends
earned by the depositors during the year
was 81, 242,3 S1. If $1,000, 900 could be
collected in such institutions in Indiana,
it would confer more real benefit on the
business and agriculture Of the State,
than all her other banking institutions

OF The citizens Of Henderson are
making an effort to raise $500 to buy a
cable and restore the telegraph connec-
ton between that city and our own; but
the attempt seems an uupromising one,
as the citizens of that very quiet town
are fearful Of being startled from their
propriety and peaceful slumbers by the
too sudden announcement By lightning
of great events. They prefer to get their
knowledge in the old way--at stated
given periods--by slow coaches, whose
coming they can watch for hours in ad-
vance Of their arrival.

THE CONDITIONS on WHICH OFFICES ARE
CONFERRED. The Indianapolis Journal
makes the following statement:
Soon after the Inauguration of Gov. Will
lard he was applied to for commission for
Notary Public by Mr.. McGrew, a lawyer OF
Evansville. The Governor refused the com
mission, and coolly informed Mr.. McGrcw
that he did not issue commissions to any
persons of his political affinities. Mr.. Ne
Grew, belonging to the American party, had
no remedy left but to submit to the treat
men. which his application received at the
hands of the Executive. Somtime last au-
tumn, however, Gov. Willard had a CONVEX
sation with Mr.. McGrew ut Evansville, and
ascertaining from him that he would, in
view OF the disbanding of the American par
ty, act with the Democratic party in prefer
ence to uniting with the Republicans, he
came home and forthwith filled out Nota-
RVS commission and transmitted it to Mr.
McGrew, without any solicitation whatever
on the part of the recipient.

~" The indianapolis Journal, of Thurs
day, speaking of the Citizens Bank of Cos
port, says:
s'This Bank has forced large quantity OF
its money into circulation. We heard of one
case where the managers gave . man 81, 000
of their money for circulation in Iowa for
the mans individual note of $500. This is
pretty broad swindling, but game that has
been played by bogus banks more than once.
The money of this bank is worthless, and all
who take il will be "sold."

THE son OF A PROPHET.

The son Of Joe Smith, the Mormon
prophte, is now residing near Nauyoo.
Educated by his mother, a worthy and
sensible woman, who, in her husbands
life time, steadily opposed the doctrine
polygamy, he has adhered to her and
her teachings. She refused to emigrate
ia Salt Lake, and her son remained with
her. He is now "a years of age, aid
according to the Mormon Hierarchy he
was entitled to succeed to the leader
ship OF his father. Brigham Young,
when elected, was considered only as
regent during the minority Of the Pro-
phet's son. Many Of the faithful have
continued to recognize Joe III. as
their true Prohet and leader, and annu-
al delegations have made pilgrimages to
Nauvoo to obtain the blessings Of the
PROPHETS son. He has often been urged
to assume his rights as the legitimate
ruler Of Mormonism, and it is now re-
ported that he will 60 to Utah in the
spring, and demand the deposition oil
Young. It is also intimated that the
Administration will second his preten.
sions to the leadership of the Saints, and
make use of his influence to break up
the despotism and demoralizing reign OF
Brigham. 1t will afford an opportunity
for the exercise of skilful diplomacy.

NASHVILLE AND HENDERSON Rail-
RoAD.-A correspondent says:--the sale
made by the agent of tine II. & n. Rail-
road IN New York, was of the bonds, and
not of the stock Of the road, as reported
in the Henderson papers. The rates at
which they were sold are not stated
the amount is said to be 100000. The
sale has impaired new confidence in the
final completion Of the enterprise. Bus
mess is unusually brisk in Henderson,
buildings for business and residence are
scarce and rents are advancing and the
prices of land IN the vicinity were never
so high.

ROARD OF TRADE.

Our citizens will not forget that the |
meeting Of the Board Of Trade will be
held this evening to receive the Presi-
dents report Of the annual commerce ard
trade Of the city. The report will be
one of greatinterest-one to awaken the
pride of its inhabitants and inspire con-
fidence in its future growth and in the
value of its real estate. The benefits
that will result from the publication of
the statistics collected by the board will
show the importance Of continuing the
organization, and the necessity of giving
it more ample means to accomplish its
purposes.
A Superintendent should be appointed
by the meeting tonight whose duties, by
the Bye Laws, are to collect and arrange
daily or weekly accounts Of the opera
ton of the business Of the city. None
has yet been selected; and now when q
Superintendent Of the Library is 10 be
re-appointed, person wko is competent
to perform the duties Of both positions,
might be selected, and the united CON-
pensation be made sufficient to induce the
incumbent to devote himself earnestly to
the work.
1t has been suggested that to morrow
evening would be proper time to dis.
cuss the propriety of buying the steamer
Done, instead of paying up the contribu-
ton made by the members of the Board
to secure the establishment of a packet
between here and Cairo. Whether this
is subject that belongs legitimately 10
the board of trade, or to those who made
the subscription, we do not know. We
notice it by request of a number, who
feel desire that public attention should
be drawn to the subject.
We hope that the meeting tonight
will manifest, by its numbers and spirit,
sincere interest in sustaining the Asso-
citation, and resolution to carry out
efficiently the objects for which it was
formed. There is no citizen, who has
any stake at all in the community in the
form of business or property, but will be
benefited by its labors. Our people, when
they 90 abroad, are chagrined that Ev-
ansville is not known, and her import
ance, as commercial point, is not ap.
preciated. The reason is, her own peo-
pie have never doue any thing to make
her business and advantages known be-
yond their own immediate vicinity; and
so little attention has been given to the
statistics of the business of the city, that
one half its own population have had no
conception Of its amount. We can have
no Interpretation Of our own prosperity
without knowing the state and progress
Of our business; and strangers can only
judge of us by comparing what we are
doing, or capable Of doing, with the con-
dition and prospects Of other communi-
ties. This can only be communicated by
such publications as the Board Of Trade
will make.
Members Of the Board, and citizens o
every class, who feel an interest ir
knowing the extent Of the business o
the city, are invited to attend. The
meeting will be held in the CITY
COUNCIL CHAMBER.
