The largest meeting, probably, ever con

on Monday evening last, at the Court
House Speeches were made by Judge
Newton, The President of the Road, and by
MeSsrs Bocksom, Henry Springer and
James Clarke. Judge Newton addressed
the meeting for about an hour aud half,
in cugent, plain forcihle manner, giving

on different portions Of the road, and pre-
Senling fair and candid statement of the

Geological wonders of Utah.

We observe that the newspapers are
calling public attention to the Great Des-
eIet, or Utah, as a field for Geological re-
search. In that solitary region are many
curious sait-hkes the vestiges OF a lost
ocean, whose remaining waters are so
strongly impregRated with saline matter,
that they are little less than immense res
ervors Of salt in solution. Large rivers
ilow for hundreds of leagues through sterile
solirudes, and at length nysterOusly disap-
pear beneath the desert IN many places,
immense deposits Of soda cause the water
TO efferVesce like a boiling ealdron. Springs
of sulphur, springs of boiling water, noun
taips Of snow, heated plains, vast deposits
Of subterranean ice--llnser and many other
wonders, are described as existing IN the
Great Amerlcan Basin.
A lieutenant in the army, in march
across the continent, discovered natural
curiosity, 10 which he gave a somewhat un
complimentary name. Oh the apex Of {

GuBERNAToRIAL MATTERS seem to be attract
ing no little attention at this time, and several
very respectable gentlemen have been named in
connection with the executive Office. The prac-
tice, which is more or less common one at
the west, of announcing candidates in advance
Of nominating convention, is one that has
never found much favor in our eyes, and we
have usually abstaiDed from participating in it.
Our lcaders we suppose, will look upon it as
bit Of prudery on our part, which stands in
the way Of free communication upon the snb-
iect Of state politics--of local and individual
preferences. Rather than be justly chargable
with an rndue degree Of squeamishness, we may
as well state, that steps have been taken in va
Yious localities TO bring forward candidates
Cincinnati, on behalf Of the southern portion Of
the stale, Is now endeavoring TO setupher claim
ON grounds Of local order. The names of gentle
men from other sections have been published, aut
among the rest, our venerable representative ii
Congress. His activity and industry Of lat'
seem to evidence very encouraging degree o
physical ability for further public service, bu
whittier he viii consent, Oh this account to for
go the pleasures Of retirement, now within hi
reach, and go into the rufand-tumbie Of pOiti

son, WM. DENIsoE, JR. MR. DEN1soN is wei
known as the efficient chairman of the Stat
Central Committee, gentleman Of admitte'
ability and cultivation, and perhaps more int
mately connected with state politics, aud enjoy
ing higher appreciation in the public heart
than any gentleman hitherto named in this con
neciion. AS a candidate, we doubt not, ht
would impart strength to the canvas, and as
public officer derogate nothing from the dignit
and honor Of the position.

THE PKSsrox BILL, which has passed the
House OF Representatives. and is now pending
IN the Senate, is strange measure to be sup
ported by any advocate Of retrencbment and
economy. The Treasury is exhausted; the Gov
ernment stepped in corruption and profiigacy;
the reTerue Of The country vastly inferior TO
the expenditures, and no provision likely to be
made soon. TO relieve The government from
bankruptcy. Under these circumstances the
House Of Representatives, by vote Of l22 to
6I, passes Bill giving pension Of 500 year
to every man who served sixty days, or fought
20 battle, in the war of 1912, with Great Brit
sin, or 10 ike wars with Indians which occurred
at that time. On one hand We are told thai
the pensions Il confers win absorb nearly
Hundred millions Of dollars a year, while th
lowest estimate Of the friends Of the bill is tha
there will be under il some 1900 pensioners
receiving the aggregate sam Of Sl,632'0OO

The home organ Of Judge Douglas has an
article declaring that the Democratic party will
speedily be compelled to take a position for or
against the revival of the slave trade. The
question Of the revival of the slave trade will
be practically presented to the country before
many months. 1t will be proposed at the next
Charleston Convention, to declare that the slave
being property, it is the right OF the citizen TO
import it from whatsoever part of the world he
can procure it.
