AIDS specinl correspondent says Col. johnson,
of the army, who vent to Mexico a special
bearer of dispatches, has arrived here with dcs
patches from Minister McLanc. They confirm
the news already received. Mr. Mc4awe express
SEES undoubtch confidence in the ultimate sue
cess of the Juarcz government, uotwithstand-
ing the efforts of the British and French Minis
tcrs to throw obstacles in its way. Our gov
crnmcnt does no believe that the British Minis
ter is acting under the advice Of England in the
course he has pursued and they have tho best
assurances that England. when she learns that
the U. S. has recognized the Juarcz government,
will advise their Minister to do the same thing.
In the meantime, our government will take i'm
medlatc steps to strengthen the hands of oHr
Minister, and rcbuke the interference OF the En-
glish and French Ministers, and also dispatch Il
number ofvcsscls to the Gulf t" protect, as far
as possible, the lives and property of American
citizens.
Judge Cradburgh, U. S. Judge in U ah, whose
irjudiciouS course brought him in conflict with
Gov. Comming, has been removed.

which can be done inabeut four months, with
the present efficient corps of workers. The

The Kansas Land Grants.

"Paeihc" the Washington correspondent
of the Kansas City Journal, writes thus in
regard to the prospects of the grants of
land for Railroad purposes in Kansas:
The Kansas land grants continue to work
their way through the lobby, with, I fear,
but little prospect OF success. A bill was
proposed on yesterday, which gave a r,ad
up the Kansas Valley, road from Eeaven-
worth to Fort Gibson, one from Atchison
to Fort Riley, one from the east line of the
Territory south of the 4th standard parallel
10 Emporia, and one from Emporia to the
mouth of the Kansas. The Kansas Valley
road had two stems west of Fort Riley, one
TO Bridger's Pass and one to Fort Union.
This bill received the concurrence of all in
terests except Leavenworth, and it was dis
tinctly stated by them that they would de-
feat any bill or any system of roads which
embraced line from the mouth of the riv-
er into Southern Kansas. Tie matter stands
TINS at the present writing, and it is only a
question as to whether SoutherR Kansas
shall be sacrificed or whether no grants are
to be made.
He also writes in regard to the West:
A sudden fit of economy has seized upon all
Departments, and more time is spent in dis
cussing retrenehment and reform than any
thing else.i The West, too, is frightful
bugbear--it grows too fast for the old fogies.
and they cannot conceive how IL is possible
that it can need any appropriations. They
talk about .that distant county, as though
| it were out of the Union OF a portion of
some other continent. would like to see
few sessions of Congress held on the bank
of the Mississippi or Missouri. and hear
them talk of the Atlantic slope for while
as ''that distant country y and see how they
would hkesit. 1 was not aware before that
any State or Territory was distant from
| the care of the federal government, but
now discover how it is we are SO wronged.
We are zoo far from Washington to be cared
for. IF this efdistant'' toner's persisted in,
the vote of the Great West after 1870 will
have the power, and ought to exercise it, of
removing the seat of government to the
Mississippi Valley. Il would cure more
than one wrong. 8T

The st. Louis Democrat is of the opinion
that those who talk so much about the fil :
buster Spirits of the south. do not seem to
understand its true origin. .Filibusteripg
is but another name for piratiug on large
scale; and as one or two men have been
hanged by the civilized world for piracy, the
parties interested have adopted an alias, and
called it flibustering. Nor is it matter
of so much wonder, that numbers flock to
that standard when it is unfurled. 1t is
almost the only avenue now left to certain
class in many of the slave states, for distinc

COlona.

The new Territory of Colona is thus def
ned by Mr.. Colfax's bill for its organization:
"The Territory will stretch from the 103d
parallel of longitude to the crest of the
Rocky Mountains, being from four TO five
degrees in width, and from the 37th to
the 49d parallel of latitude, making il
FIVE degrees in length. 1t will thus be
nearly square, and viii include parts of The
Territories of Kansas, Nebraska, Utah, and
New Mexico-nearly all, however. being
taken from Kansas. 1t will embrace within
its borders not only the gold diggings, but
also the famous Three Parks, the headwaters
of both forks of the Platte, of the Arkansas,
and of the Rio Grande.
st. Vrain's Fort will be near its center.
Bridger's Pass, which shortens the road to
California over one hundred miles, is In the
northern part of the new Territory, and
