three hundred and eighty seven men in this
Territory live each with seven women and
upwards, (thirteen Of the three hundred and
elghty-seven having over nineteen women
who bear children by them,) seven hundred
and thirty men have each five women who
live with them and bear children by them
eleven hundred men each live with four wo-
men and upwards; and from the last est-
mate have been able to make, fourteen
hundred men each live with more than one
woman. Seven men have mother and daugh-
ter for wives-one man living within thou

one the mother of the other, and both will,
with good luck, in a few weeks, be delivered
Of children BY him."

The following letter from young WAC
STAFF, was received in this city yesterday:
BOULDER Cry, St. Vrain's Co., X. T.
March 9TH, 1859.
Victor l.. KELLER-Dear Friend re-
ceived your very kind letter of Dec. 10Th,
some two or three weeks since, and was
truly happy to learn that one Of my old
friends had not forgotten me. You said
you thought you would come tothis coun-
try in the spring. would be very glad to
see you, and all the other boys from the
Bluffs, in this country, where gold is taken
from the sands of the earth. You requested
me to tell you whether there was gold in
this country or not. Well, as to that, 1
can tell you there is; l have prospected for
for one hundred miles up and down the
mountains, and have found gold in most all
the streams running into the Platte River !;
but at this place there seems to be the best
paying diggings. At this place gold has
been discovered for a distance of so miles
back IN the mountains that will pay from
10 to 80 dollars per day to the man. As
the Express starts in few minutes, must
draw this letter to a close.
Enclosed you will find small specimen
of gold dust, washed by myself, from one
pan of dirt suppose it is worth about Is
cents. Nothing more Mt present, but
Remain your sincere friend,
DANIEL WAGsrAfF.

KctrenChment.

Inc government has ordered that all the
employees ut Fort Randall who do uot be-
long to the army be discharged, and that
hereafter all labor about the Fort is to be
performed by soldiers without extra pay
The job of carrying the mail between this
place and the Fort has also been taken from
the old contractor; and it is now carried BY
soldier. Thus it is that the present Ad-
mlhlstratlon is instituting reform in all
branches OF the government whereby the cx-
renaitures will be lcssened, and yet the op-
position continue their parrot. cry of sex
'raVa:ance. '-Siour City Register.
This making rirue of necessity is no
new dodge Of the Democratic party. How
long has the present Administration been
seized and possessed Of determination to
institute "reform in all branches of the Gov
crnmont, whereby the expenditures will be
lessenedl' And, what is the system of re-
trenchment' Why, in the manner set forth
above, and as detailed below by the Burling-
Hamk- Eye. This is the way it inauyurates
retrenehmsnt: cit discharges clerks and
laboring men and reduces the wages of those
still employed, and thus saves few dollars
TO the National Treasury, while millions are
corruptly bestowed upon party fayorites in
the form of army and navy contracts rich
Jobs OF printing, ETC., etc. 1t mercilessly
discharges forty poor workmcn in the arm
DRY at Springfield and reduces the stipend
OF those still employed. ten to twenty per
cent, because it is inexorably bent on re-
trenchmen', and yet could pay to RUssELs &
MAJORS 81, 100 per ton, So per hundred, or
So cts. per pound for transporting supplies
to Utah without granting.
Mr.. BUCHANAN came into Office with an
Overlooking treasury-with a surplus of
ST. 100000. At the end Of the fiscal year,
little over two years, there will be def
cheney of s75,000,000. What has been
done to reduce expenses? Forty laboring
men have been discharged at Springfield and
thirty one special agents discharged by the

the Job of carrying the mail between Sioux
