PRsNTICEIANA.-The Washington IIa-
ION believes that the next Democratic can
didate for the Presidency " will walk over
the course" We guess he can 10 no more
than walk over--nor even that without
limping.
Our neighbor of the New Albany Lel-
ger has great deal to say about " Lo,es."
We shall not call his paper bore, but We
hope he will thank Us for the compliment
when we say that it ou2ers well.
An Indiana editor says very ill-natured-
ly that he's not disposed to give us credit
for anything lie ought to credit us for
the money he once borrowed Of us, as well
as for the paragraphs he now steals from
US.
A little Democratic editor in the inte-
rior processes to be holding his nose at the
Know-Nothing party. Let him hold it
and pinch it and pull it and twist it us
much as he pleases. He can save better
men the trouble.
The editor of the Washington Union
pretends to understand perfectly" what
he says. Pity he can't make himself
equally ineligible to his readers.
The So7aherncc speaks Of a man who
recently died, leaving all his property to
his sons if they should be Democrats. That
old fellow evidently took hint from the
Greek philosopher who bequeathed a
large fortune to his children, if they would
prove to be fools, for, said he, if they are
wise men they will not need it

Late and Reliable from Frazer River

Mr. VIM BILLINGS, gentleman well known in this
county where he has resided for the past six years.
and who for veracity above suspicion arrived here
last week on the steamer Consultation, direct from
Puget Sound bar, on Frazer river This bar is be-
tween Forts Hope and Yale--six miles above the
former uud eight below the hitter Upon 1t there are
some 200 claims staked off, of Is 80 feet front-a
number Of which owned by citizens OF this county
MeSsrs. G. Hartsock, U. E. Hicks, Thos Prather,
Whitfield Kirtley, Jacob Waldrick, Jacob Croll and
Alonzo Musser are at work there. Mr.. BILLINGS has
been in the vicinity OF this bar since the Sd Of June
las-and for more than one-haf the time subsequent
ly was unable 10 prospect at ALL owing to the high
stage Of the water in the river In fact but about
fourteen days advantageous mining was afforded him
prior to leaving for this place, during which time his
average earnings per day. were from 81 to $S-on no
day more than S.. Mr. Prather, however, with three
partners, had been taking out, he supposed, about
one per day each for some time. From all ap-
peaances, Mr.. BLLNGs Is inclined to think that the
bar will yield, throughout during the fall winter and
spring-until the waters again rise-from s. to SIS
per day 10 the hand, and he has no doubt but that
Hills and Texas bars, above, are much richer. Mr..
B. will return in week two and resume operations
as long the weather and the low stage of water will
permit-hat is until the spring and summer freshet
sets in. He is also of opinion that most of the 200
now on the bar will remain during the wnter-most
of them having provided themselves with comfortable
cabins, provisions, &c, &c. All were doing well and
in good spirits when Mr.. B. left, and were confident
Of making good wages for the next two months, at
least No had struck the bed rock when he left.
HE had stripped the surface dirt off, to the depth Of
from four to eighteen inches, and found it to be of
paying quality as far as he had went down. No one
had gone deeper than six feet. Provisions were
plenty, and to be obtained at reasonable prices when
Mr.. B. le but be advises all going thither to take
their provisions and outfits with them. Rockers,
only were used upon the bar, although Mr.. Hartsock
was rigging q wheel to commence sluicing when he
left, which will be the first sluice started there. He
thinks that not onehaf Of the river bars are claimed
as yet, between Forts Yale and Langley-or within
the gold-payIng district. There is now no danger
whatever in navigating Frazer river between the
mouth and the Big Canton. The Indians are perfectly
quiet. Parties were constantly going up the river,
and Mr.. B, has no doubt but all who are prepared 10
remain on Frazer river this fall and winter, and who
are willing TO work, will realize handsome wages.

From Salt Lake.

We find the following concerning Utah in the San
Francisco Aha California Of Sept. Is:
Neither the mail party nor the immigrants had been
moested by the Indians. The MormOns have nearly
all returned to their homes and everything appeared
orderly and quiet in the city Brigham Young still
remained ncog and had not been seen on the street
in daylight for more than three weeks. Gov. Cum
ming had recently hOnored Brigham with an evening
picnic, on which occasion, 1t was currently mmored
ana generally believed, that Gov. Cumming was bap-
tsed into the church and became a saint. The Nor
mons do not appear 70 manifest much hatred towards
the troops Desertions from the army were Of daily
occurrence. Twenty-three men recently deserted in
one night, taking with them the Government horses
ana, strange enough, not one of them had been
caught. The Sixth Infantry had recently left Fort
Idger for the purpose Of going to California via the
Humboldt river. News had just reached Salt Lake
that five men had been murdered by the Indiana

sent to them by the stupid agent. There is much
complaint about the Indian agent, and it was rumored
that he intends to resignand go home. The Mormons

will not allow itself to be outstripped by
our European neighborsl In the event o.
the mineral wealth Of New Caledonia and
the interior of Washington being made
known aud permincntly established in the
East, may we not venture the assertion
| that there will be one united effort upon
the part Of members Of Congress and capi
talists Of all sections Of the confederacy to
put this magnificent enterprise at once in
successful operation across the savannas ol
the North American continent, to turn the
commerce of the world into the lap ol
America, and more particularly upon a
more direct route to the Indies.
And, just now, amid this unriValled pros
perity, while our representative in the conn
ellis of the nation is engaged in teaching
European diplomatists principles of interna-
tional courtesy, law, justice and humanity,
and opening the way for unfettered Ameri-
can commerce in the noEthern waters, the
English parliament, since~this golden dis
eovery, begins to see in this northwest terra
iHoQgnita, a new Atlantis, or some ideal
Utopia-a land fitted for immediate colo
nization by millions Of Europeans-enough
to check or fetter the career Of the United
States over New Caledonia and all of Cana
da, (this colonization scheme to act as q
counter-poise to the expansion Of the
American Empire-to preserve tho bal
ance of power in the new worldly, for the
far reaching conceptions Of some of the
members Of parliament sees that the en-
pire of the Western hemisphere must yield
to American expansion.
Human vision can see no limits to this
American progress-the liberal principles
Of this colossal Republic cannot be fettercd
or shackled, they will extend over seas and
continents-perhaps not with a similar ve-
hement and turbulent spirit which carried
the French Eagles to Vienna and the
Kremlin, but by the natural result of the
energy and vigor, the intelligence and per-
severance of the AnglO-American, and the
genius Of their democratic institutions, or
by the inevitable tendency Of the Esprit Of
manifest destiny" Have not these, if any
thing noble on earth has, a commission
from providence to contend for the COM
mercial domination of the seas and the en-
pire of the world.

The Washington correspondent Of the

Efforts are being made to induce our

Washington and Oregon Territories, held
By the Hudson Bay company and the
Puget Sound Agricultural Company, con.

The value Of these premises was estimated
BY Cor. Stevens, in 1855, at $500, 900
The companies originally asked for then
81 1000, 900, but have recently signifed,
through Lord Napier, their willingness to
accept 5000, 900.
We learn that the Secretary Of State,
hon. LEwIs CAss, is favorable to the pur.

considered doubtful whether Congress will
appropriate the money for that object at

b6r Strange rumors reach Us from Utah,
in relation to the acts Of Gov. Cumming.
1t is stated that the Governor has aliena-
ted the good will Of his colleagues, that he
has affiliated with the leading Mormons,
and that the mails are openly tampered
with, while passing through the Salt Lake
City post Office, without remonstrance from
the Governor. Reports Of Gov. Cum
ming's unpOpularity among the new officers
Of the Territory reached US some time since.
This later rumor, coming through private
advices received at St. Louis, revived the
stories formerly current However, there
may be nothing in it.

B6r In the State Of Massachusetts, the
title Of Esq. is only attached, by authority,
to the names Of such citizens as the State
executive may think proper to make, pro
forma, justices of the peace. A new law,
there, just enacted, depOses nearly eight
thousand such honorable gentlemen from
their nominal posts of distinction, and re-
duees them suddenly down to the ordinary
posts of life. Here's fall for modest am
bition.

that there is a geometrcal ratio between

greatest pecuniary crises. The causes Of
this relation are easily traced,
