The territorial organizations in the western
country are proceeding so rapidly that one can
hardly keep pace with their geography. Every
now and then We have to stop and take an OBJ
servation, as sailors say, to find out exactly
where we are.
Dacotah is the western half of what was Min
nesota Territory. When that State was formed
line was drawn through the middle of the ter
ritory, from north to south; the eastern part
became the State of Minnesota, and the wes
tern, which is not yet organized, is called Da-
cotah Territory.
Arizona is combination of the south part of
New Mexico with the strip of land in the Mes
silla Valley, purchased from Mexico in 1854,
and known as the Gadsden Purchase. This
territory is yet unorganzed, but it contains TO-
600 to 10000 inhabitants, and has elected
delegate who is now in Washington seeking an
organization of Arizona Territory.
Nevada is the name given to the western half
of Utah, lying between the Salt Lake valley and
California.
Nebraska formerly included all that large
portion of land lying between the Missouri Riv-
err and the Rocky mountains; but the western
portion is now known in various quarters as
Laramie, the most noted point in which is Fort
Laramie.
Pixies Peak, Colona, and Platte are the seve-
raj names that are given to that portion of Kan
sas Territory lying between the lolst degree of
west longitude and the Rocky mountains, end
including all that portion of New Mexico, north
of the 37th parallel north latitude. 1t is in
this territory that the famous gold discoveries,
knownas Pixies Peak gold mines, were made and
which are just now attracting the attention of
thousands of individuals in the States.
Washington Territory lies chiefly between the
46th and 49th parallels north latitude, and be-
tween the Pacific Ocean on the west and the
Rocky Mountains on the east 1t was organic
ed a few years since by dividing Oregon from
east to west. The Fraziers River gold mines
are not far distant from its northern boundary.
Superior, or Ontonagon, is the peninsula be-
tween Lakes Superior and Michigan, part of
which now belongs to Michigan and part to
Wisconsin.
The territories, then, belonging to the United
States, both organized and unorganized are
Kansas, Nebraska, Dacotah Laramie, Colona.
New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Oregon,
Washington, and Ontonagon,-a goodly array
of jewels with which to deck our starry Aag;-
to say nothing of Cuba, Sonora, and Chihuahua

INDIANA DIvoRcEs.-Judge Davies, of New
York city, has recently given an opinion in the
case of McGiiicrt VS.. McGifert, which, if sus-
tanned, will have the effect of annullng many of
the judgments of divorce granted in the State
of Indiana and elsewhere The husband went
to Indiana in 1852, obtained divorce in 1858,
and returned to New York with another wife in
1866. Mrs McGiffert No. then commenced a
suit for divorce in New York, on the ground of
his criminal intercourse with the woman to
held that the Court of Indiana never had iuris-
dicton of Mrs McGifiert, and that the proceed
ings there as to her were void, as the principle
of law and of natural justice declared that no
person should be bound by judgment without
being heard. divorce was therefore decreed
to Mrs McGiffert.

that before this is done the restriction of the

[IY- The remarkably consistent little gentleman
who does the editorial stealing for the Bellows Fails
Argus is greatly exercised because the democracy of
New Hampshire at their late State Convention did
lot endorse the administration of Mr.. Buchanan TO
his liking. We are inclined to think the democracy
OF New Hampshire have given the administration of
MIR. buchanan nearly as fair an endorsement as the
editor Of the Argus gave the administration of Frank
lin Fierce, one time, at State Convention of the de-
mocracy Of Vermont, when he threatened to bolt the
party If his administration was endorsed ut all-Pa-
triO.
10 this charge the ArguS pleads "not guilty.
after this wise:
1--WE did not threaten to bolt the party if his
(Pierce's) administration was endorsed at ALL We
d protest against the passage of resolution endors-
ing the repeal OF the Missouri Compromise, saying if
such resolution was passed it would, we were conf
dent, drive many votes from the party. But as for
ourselves matters not whdt resolutions then passed ace
should support The nominees under any and all circum-
stdnees'"-Argus.
Aside from the denial of the argus we think
the Patriot must be mistaken, although common
rumor is on its side. The explanation given
by the argus of what it did say will generally
be accepted as at least correct exposition of
its present belief. So long as he is well paid
for it he is bound to Ego it blind"
