The troops from Texas have been
landed at Forts Jefferson and Taylor,
Florida. 1t is said that Fort Taylor
has all sorts of supplies for year.
All the new Ministers are expected
to start for their posts Immediately.
The law allows thirty days, usually, for
preparation, but, the condition Of affairs
in the country requires their presence
immediately, especially at the leading
missions, to counterfeit the efforts that
will be made for recognition by the
Southern Confederacy.
The Tribune says that at several re-
cent sittings of the Cabinet an ener-
getic policy relative to Sumter was
strongly urged. Ideas of lreinforee-
ment were entertained in quarters
hitherto regarding it impraeticable.

Tbe Three New Territories.

The Three New Territories.
Among the finished bushes of Con
gress| were acts organizing three ne,
!. territories, Colorado, Nevada, and Da
Gotta. Dacota takes all of what wa
Mimi sota territory lying west of 90 {
|IsO5 and has Che state of Minnesota Of
the east and Nebraska on the ives
Colorado includes the gold region o
Kansas and portions of Nebraska
Utah and New Mexico. It's northern
[and southern Boundaries are the AS
and a7th parallels of latitude, and it
eastern and western boundaries thu
the Tooth degree Of longitude. 1t ha,
about 100, 200 square miles and pop
ulation of $4,000, and will very soor
offer itself as a state, and unless The
sanguihe hopes of its present occupants
are disappointed, it is destined to be
come rapidly rich and prosperous
Nevada includes the western part Of
Utah, with small portion Of Califor-
mia, if that state consents or otherwise
1t lies between the 37th and 42d paral-
lels Of latitude; its eastern boundary
is thefl1eiparallels of latitude !; and its
western line begins where its SO uthern
boundary touches the SUBMITS of the
Sierra Nevada mountains, follows this
dividing ridge northwardly to the 41st
degree and then runs due north to the
southern boundary of Oregon. 1t in
cludess the beautiful Carson valley,
wonderful for its fertility, and has great
wealth of silver and other minerals yet
to be developed.
BY these changes the territory of
Utah is reduced nearly one half and
the saints are hemmed in upon the east
and west between what will soon be-
come populous, free and anti-polyga-
nous states, and the rapid population
OF this whole central belt of country
may soon give "the gentiles" the pre-
dominance even 10 Utah, and SO com
pei the patriarchs to abandon their orr
entail system of society or emigrate to
some dirtier region to enjoy it. The
prospect is that the territories on this
belt, Colorado, Utah and Nevada, will
be the first Of the remaining territories
to become states, and SO make the line
of states compact from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. 1t is through this section
that the daily Pacific mail will pass un-
der the new law of Congress, and it
will become more than ever the chief
line of travel across the country, thus
affording every facility for safe and
pleasant emigration to the western ter
ritories and California. -Er-5
.1 All this western region is bound in
dissolubly to the present United States,
and neither desires nor can have any
other future. The acts organizing these
territories are silent on the question of
slavery; but the laws of emigration, of
soil and of climate render silence as
valuable as clause of introduction.

Thurlow Weed ON Greeley.

The Albany Evening journal and
the M Y. Tribune have had some
warm confabs of late. The former
gives his opinion of the philosophical
head OF the latter concern as follows:
I'VE thought Mr.. Greeley wiser
and better man than he is. We in
vested him with virtues that only exis-
ted in our too partial estimate of his
character. We were unconscious of
his vaulting ambition-his insatiate
thirst for Office. Had we known, in

thing, at least they must be prepared It
ts unquestionably true that, somewhere in

Of considerable magnitude for influencing
the public mind in favor Of the dissolution |
Of the Union, or the acceptance, by all the
States, of JEFF. Davis's Constitution It is
being used in New Jersey, in Connecticut,
and New Hampshire. It is that which

that the rebels may profit and rebellion
flourish thereby. Iowa is the first State,
In which, since the opening Of the WIT,
party contest in disregard Of an Union
organization, is to come of. The occa-
sion will be improved by the concealed en-

they have already put in practice in New

has no show Of success, newspapers are
found Ve3ing and distrscting the public
by appeals for dishonorable peace, hold

sympathy for the rebels on the ground
that they have always been willing to

it that he does not practically put the
State on the side Of Belial!
We understand from our Iowa CORES

State, into two parties, one headed
by Governor Knkwood, and the other

SUCCESS Of 1iasou-the last man whom
loyal Iowa ought to elect. This is an
honorable and patriotic motive which do3s
the declining nominee more credit than an
election
