It will be seen that our Council Grove
correspondent is again at his post. He
pitches into those persons in the northern
part of the Territory who are trying to
mislead the gold seekers of the East over
the northern route to the mines, for no 9TH
er reason than to advance their own pecuu-
iary interest, and to give their half starved
towns little material aid. He is thorough
ly posted ia everything pertaining TO the
route to the GaiRes, and what he says can
be relied on.

County Buildings.

We learn that the County Board of Su
PerVisors. among many other wonderful
things, have made arrangements for the
erection of new Jail and Court House at
Americus. The Court House is to be a
magnificent structure, after the Morisco
order of Architecture. presenting the
general appearance of those Spanish Cas-
ties" so celebrated in song and story. for
their airy and etheral beauty and lightness
of construction. 81
The designs have already been prepared
by that distinguished Architect. Do EN-
Bsows. Esq, and the work viii be prompt
ly undertaken By JEREaY DIDDLEa, Esq,
from whose we'll established reputation we
may prognosticste the happiest results
We are informed that the Board appropria.

the completion of the Court House, so ,ba,

The New Townships.

The Board of Supervisors for Brecken-
ridge county have just closed session, at
which some business of importance to our
readers was transacted We have not yet
received copy of the proceedings, and in
deed, we believe majority of the gentle
men comprising the Board voted against
publishing their proceedings, but We learn
verbally that they changed the boundaries
of the several Townships in the county, and
created three new ones, to be known as
Fremont, Forest Hill, and Cahola.
Fremont Township is to be bounded on
the south by the North line of Township
10, and includes the settlements on Dow
and Allen Creeks-the voting place to be
at the town of Fremont.
Forest Hill Township comprises the cas-
tern portion of what was Emporis Town
ship, eight miles in length. including the
.three mile strip" of what saas Florence
Township. in Madison county. This Town
ship will probably rank second in point OF
population. in the county. 1t includes the
towns of Forest Hill and Neosho Rapids,
and should have been called "Neosho," as
it seems to us-but there's no accounting
for tastes. The voting precinct is fixed at
Forest Hill. Of course. A proposition to
allow the people to select their own voting
place was rgeeted-also, Of course
Cahola Township is located near the
mouth of Rock Greek, and takes off por-
ton from Agnes City and Americus Town
ships. As Agnes City has usually cast
shout 95 votes and Americus about 40 or
so, Of course Il soas accessory that . new
Township should be created to enable such
crowd of people to vote in one day! Ca
hola is as necessary to certain interest as
the English Rotten Borough system was to
the British Tories.
Cottonwood and Emporia Townships
were each extended south to the county line.
If the County Clerk will furnish us with
copy of the proceedings of the august
body. We will publish them next week graf
is, in order that the people may know the
boundaries of their respective Townships
