suits? | should like very much TO see
George Gibbs, Esq, take hold Of this mat

any direct action in the matter on the part
of either the General or Territorial Gov
ernment, am sanguine to believe that the
explorations of the Northwest Boundary
Commission, and other parties now in the

corps of Civil Surveyors under Colonel
Tlton, will do much to develop truthfully
the geology of the country from the Rocky
Mountains TO the coast.

JAPANESE LAws.-The severity Of the
Japanese laws is excessive. The code is
probably the bIoodiest in theIworld. Death
is the prescribed punishment for most Of
fences The Japanese seem TO proceed on
the principle that he who will violate one
law will violate any, aud that the wilful W.
olator is unworthy to live; aud be cannot
be trusted in society. There are no pro-
fessional lawyers IN the kingdom; every
man is deemed competent 10 be his own
pleadcr. If a party is aggrieved, he i'm
mediately appeals to the magistrate before
whom the other party Is soon made 70 ap;
pear The case is stated BY the6omplain-
ant in bis own way, and the accused Is
heard in reply. The magistrate examines
the witness, and II Is said that this officer
generally displays great acuteness in de-
tecting falsehood. He passes sentence, and
it is carried into effect iRsfaaier. From bis
decision there is no appeal. Sometimes in
triaing cases, he orders the parties TO 60
and settle the matter privately. with tho
aid Of friends; and il is well understood
that it must be thus settled, or unpleasant
consequences will result. Sometimes, when
both plaintiff and defendant are IN fault, be
awards ce6sure 10 both, as they may de-
serve it, and sends them aboat their bust
ness. The prison diet is limited, and very
poor; but II rich man is confined, he may
buy better food, on condition that be viii
share il equally with all bis fellow prison
ers. The Japanese doctrine Il, that If q
man Of wealth or influence Is a criminal, he
has no right to fare any better than the
poorest man IN the kingdom who commits
a crime, therefore all shall be treated alike.
In religion, the greatest tolerance exists.
Every town has its god, and every class lis
peculiar image Of worship. The mariner
bows down to god Of the sea, which IS set
up in temple decorated with paintings Of
the sea in a gale, and Of junks There are
also gods Of Gre, Of riches and other deities
There is no Sunday In japan, bat the peo-
pie celebrate great many feast days, At al
seasons Of the year. There are no people
who appear to be so happy under despot-
ic form Of government as the Japanese.
and when reproved for not being civilized
they cite the infrequency Of crime In com
parison with It's existence in other countries.

"This cape forms the southern head o

GOVERNOR GHoLsoN:
Ny Dear Sir:-Knowing the interest you
feel in seeing every section of the Territory
developed and opened up to settlement, |
am confident that you will be grati6ed to
learn that though it has been impossible for
me this season, with my present force and
means, to explore and survey the. line from
Hellsgate to Fort Laramie, as originally
intended, and as you had expected, yet the
war department, acting in accordance with
recommendations made to it last winter,
has deemed this line of sufficient Importance
to have it explored Immediately. and for
this purpose, Captain Reynolds, of the to.
biographical engineers, with quite large
civil force and an escort of dragons, has
already started from Fort Laramie with
instructions to connect with our line at the
most practicable point. l anticipate meet
ing him early in July. His line will unite
with ours at well-known point in the
mountains, called Deer Lodge" large,
arabic and sheltered valley of 1000 square
miles in extent That this line is eminent
ly practicable for wagon road and rail
road location, am snnguine to believe
The geography of the country and my
knowledge Of the line, as gathered from all
sources, would show that the present emf
grant line, following the valley of the Platte
up to Fort Laramie, would he DETECTED in
a northeasterly direction, either at Fort
Laramie or the Red Buttes, about sixty
miles west Of Fort Laramie, and following
along the eastern watershed of the Wind
River mountains, would cross the numerous
head branches of the Yellowstone, and
then the main Yellowstone about 3 miles
from where it debonches from the noun
tains; thence, by direct line, to the Three
Forks Of the Missouri, would enter the
large valley Of the Beaver Head of Lewis
& Clarke and cross the Rocky Mountains
between the Jefferson Fork of the Missouri
and the Hellsgate and Little Blackfoot
rivers Of the Columbia, and unite with our
present road from Walla-walla at the mouth

MORMON MIssIoNARIEs.-Some idea Of
the character Of Mormon missionaries may
be gathered from what Brigham Young
says Of them A large batch Of these rep
robates were lately sent upon their travels,
aud after reading over their names in The
Tabernacle, Brigham Young expressed bis
opinion Of Mormon missionaries in the fol-
lowing words:
1--WE have at times sent men on mis-
sons to get rid Of them, but they have gen
orally come back. Some think i an impo-
sition on the world TO send such men among
them but which is best-to keep them
here TO pollute others, or to send them
where pollution is more prevalent Ten
filthy sheep in flock Of a thousand viii 50
besmear the whole that, to the eye Of z
stranger, they will appear 10 be worthless,
when nine hundred and ninety Of them are
as good as can be, but for the outside
smeaFing by the ten filthy ones. We have
tried to turn the filthy ones out OF The hoeks
bat they will not always stay out. A few
such deGle, to outward appearance, the
whole flock, and we have to bear It. ..
The bad odog which attaches TO those
Mormons who come in contact with tho
GentiIes is thus sought to be ayerted BY
the arch-rebel and impostor. ha3
