NEW TERRITORIES,

Among the closing acts of the
last Congress, and of the admin.
istration of James Buchanan was
the passage of 4 bill for the organ
ization of three new Territories
respectively named Colorado, Ne
vada and Dakotah.
Colorado embraces the Pixies
Peak mining regions including
part of Kansas Nebraska and
Eastern Utah, and contains about
$4,000 inhabitants.
Nevada embraces Western Utah
and California with the Washoe
silver region and the no less ia
nous Carson Valley.
Dakotah is taken from what
was formerly Western Minnesota
and lies Immediately south of
British America and west of Min
nesota and Iowa.
Notwithstanding the Republi-
cans had control of both branch
es of Congress and in obtaining it
have endangered to say the least,
the peace and perpetuity Of the
Government, they organized these
Territories on the principles of
popular sovereignty, thus discar-
ding their distinctive idea Of pro-
hibition before the inauguration
of Lincoln.

fifty miles to the westward of her former posi-
e ton. But, before relief could be sent TO her
n thore came on a violent gale from the westwarc
:, which broke up the ice, and she was born,
away down the lake embedded in a field 0
more than hundred acres.
: Next she was off Erie, hundred miles Il
the westward of Buffalo, and they could moi
even see the boy on her deck; but it was al
, most night, to board her was impossible, and al
daylight on the following morning she had dis.
appeared.
AS there was only a small stock Of provisions
on board when she left Cleveland, people won
dered how the boy had subsisted all that time
and predic ed his death by starvation, provided
the schooner should liv. out the fierce Winter
gales. Several times, after her appearance off
Erie, the Western Trader was seen in various
parts of the lake. but always too far off to make
out anything about her distinctly, only that
there was always smoke coming out of the
funnel Of her cabin stove.
At last, one Sunday afternoon, in tho month
! OF April. about week after the western part
/ OF the lake was clear Of ice, schooner, under
just the head of her fore-sail, was seen ten
miles outside the harbor Of Cleveland, and, as
she came brayely in between the piers, thou
sands OF people on the shore ranged along the
wharVes, recognized her as the truant Weste,n
Trader, and the brave little fellow at her helm
as Frank Merrill the winter rover of tn, lake,
returned in safety from his dreary ice.voyage
Such welcome as England would have ae-
corded Sir John Franklin had he escaped from
his ice-ribbed Arctic prison and returned to his !
native land, was given by the citizeLs 0! Cleve
land to the young ice Voyager, Frank Merrill !
People wondered at first how he had sub
sisted, but when they saw his well conditioned |
face, his liberal supply of boiled and parched
corn, and the way in VIII ch he had cut away
the schooner's rail, windlass and the Joiner
work of her cabin, for fuel, they wondered no
longer.
The young commander OF the Winter cruiser,
got his twelve dollars month, besides many a
handsome present from those who admired his
courage and fidelity; and when the Weste,n
Trader was completely repaired, bill of sale
or one half OF her was placed IN Mrs. Merrill's
hands for her son, by Mr. Joseph Dennison.
Long before the Summer was over, there was
10 Mrs Merrill in Cleveland; and those who
inquired for her at her former residence. were i.
iirected to beautiful mansion on the bank of

Our attention was attracted this morning b,
an old man, standing with piece of broom

he has brought up his boys. Some time since

the Lake, and all were lost. Such a terrible be.
reavment has driven the old man distracted --
He was very i'll for long time, with a disease

Against n War for Emancipation.

|
The Boston Advertiser, one of tn,
leading and most influential Republican
papers in New England, in noticing Sen
ator Summers speech at the Republican
State Convention in Massachusetts, il
favor ofmaking this a war for the aboli
tion of slavery, remarks:
"Ara incontesGble truth that neither men no,
money toiH be forthcoming for this ,oar, if once
abolition Of slaUery and not the defense of The
Ouion IS its otject. that its original purpose is
converted into cloak for some new design OF
seizing this opportunity for the destruction OF
the social system Of the South. The people are
heart and soul with the Government IN support
Of any constitutional undertaking; we do not
believe that they will follow it, ifthey were
made to suspect that they are being decoyed
into the support of any unconstitutional and
revolutionary designs"
The New York World takes the same
view of the case, and asserts as safe
proposition "that third of the North,
with emancipation inscribed upon its BAN
ner, would not be as strong as the whole
North without it.
Such talk as this is gall and worm
wood to the radical Fremont Republi-
cans.

Romantic Afiair---A Female i'm tb1G
EOWa Regiment


Among the names that will live long afte,
the PRESENT war is ct an end, will be that o.
Nelly Williams, Of the town OF Lyons, State o
Iowa. When the Second Regiment of Iowa
volunteers was being organized the
Governor Of that Common wealth, the Secreta.
ry Of War, and the public prints were calling
loudly for recruits to fight for the Union this
young woman's patriotism overleaped the bar
rers that had been placed around her SEX
Healthy, strong, active, full o. ambition she had
but enc resolve and that was to 90 torth to bat.
tie, and, if necessary, to lie in defence OF her
country's flag. She, accordingly, cut off her
hair, rigged herself out in mems clothes and,
thus disguised, presented herself at the recruit.
ing office, in the town Of Lyons. She was at
once accepted, and became a member of Capt.
Cox's Company, of the Second Iowa.
Mrs, Wilams--she was a married woman--
had scarcely enlisted, when the regiment was
ordered to this point. Her husband, we might
as well add here, had deserted her at the COM
mencement of the war, and taken up arms in
behalf Of the Southern Confederacy. He was
last heard from at Memphis.
From St. Louis, Capt. Cox's Company was
moved to Birds Point, and during the dull
camp life at that place, Nelly was taken sick.
She was so i'll, indeed, that when her company
was ordered away, it was deemed imprudent to
remove her, and with several OF her sick COM
rades was left behind. She speedily recover
ed, however, and FASTENED at once to join her
regiment.
1t was while passing down Chestnus street,
in the morning--on the way, we are told to the
Republican Office, to obtain paper from home
that suspicious as to her sex were awakened
She was moving quietly and modestlv over the
pavement in front of the Metropolitan Police
Quarters, when sharp policeman scanned her
from head TO foot. She was dressed in the full
Iowa volunteer suitdark gray pants and coat,
and nice fitting black cap,and looked every inch
man and soldier-but the policeman got the
idea into his head that all was not exactly right
lie conveyed the result of his reconnaissance to
the Captain Of Police, and insisted that the
hands of the Iowa volunteer were those oI
won1an.
Shortly after this arrange development, Nelly
was escorted to the Police Station, where she
made a full, free and frank confession in regard
to the romantic incident. The only thing abe
seemed to regret was that she could not have
been permitted to play the soldier until the
28th Of August when her term Of enlistment
would have expired. She stated that she has
mother living in Lyons, Iowa, who knows
nothing OF her Whereabouts, and who doubtless
thinks her dead. Up,n giving the promise that
she would at once reSums her woman's attire
and quit romancing, she was released. We un
derstapd she has respectable female friends in
this city, who win supply all pressing wants
and aid her in returning to the homo OF her
afflicted mothsr,--&. Louis Eusnag News.
