The Interior department has been called
upon by the Territorial Committee of the
House for information concerning the pro-

tomorrow, and embodies the following in
formation: One year ago no whites were
within the proposed boundaries, except a
few trappers The gold discoveries of last
year attracted large number, about FIVE
hundred OF whom wintered there. In the
coming spring many thousands will no
doubt go out, and q government will be
necessary. The country is mountainous
unfit for agricultural purposes, and subject
to violent hail-storms every year. Gold is
found on the eastern, and no doubt on the
western slope of the mountains. The Mex
lean mining laws are recommended for the
adoption of Congress. The Indians are nu.
merous but have not fixed houses-are no.

Territory. Mr.. Stephens prefers the name

Gentlemen keep continually talking
about economy. /, myself, do not be-
licve in tying the public purse with
cobweb strings, but when retrenchment
comes in contact with patriotism it as
sumes the form Of "smallness." Such
economy is like that of old Skintllnt,

little boy, without solcs, that they
might last the longer. Daughter.

The United States Agriculture, So
ciety closed its annual meeting in
Washington on the 10Th inst, after
having transacted a large amount OF
business, a portion of which will be
found peculiarly interesting to the
people Of the North Western States
From the fact that no National FAIR
has never been held in the North West,
it had for some time past been rener-
ally admitted, that 1t was entitled to
the Fair this year. Accordingly the
North West was strongly represented
in the meeting, and tie following re-
solution was adopted.
"Pesoired, That the great northwestern
portion Of the Mississippi Valley is entitled
to the holding Of the next Fair Of this So
cisty ; and we recommend such location of
II, provided always that as great pecuniary
inducements are offered the Society from
quarter as from any other section of the
ULion."
Notwithstanding the universally adj
mitted justice of this determination, it
it was violently opposed by represcn-
tatives from all other sections of the
country, who desired that the Fair
should be held in the district which
they represented; bnt through the
united and energetic labors of the Hon.
LIE Grand 3yington of Iowa City, and
Judge kellogg and DR., Kcnnicott OF
Illinois, the conclusion which we have
stated, was arrived at. The resou.
ton was proposed and offered by Mr.
Byington.
1t is therefore settled that the Fair
will be held in the North Western por.
