Are very dull; the fine growth of feed in the
neighborhood is to the dairymen equal to an ad

so that the demand is limited and prices low. 1t

some sales of prime cows with calves, at about

p0r A correspondence is published. between
General Weightman, who commands the militia
of this District, and Mayor Berret. The Gen
eral asked for the names and stations of the
police, as he might wish to make use of them.
The Mayor declined the request, upon the
ground that the military must be subordinate
to the civil authorities, and that he felt entirely
able to preserve the peace of the city without
military aid.
The Mayor makes most studied and elab.
crate denial of his belief, or Of any grounds for
anybody's belief that the safety of this capital
has ever been menaced. Let him read the
sworn testimony of ex.Secretary Thompson,
that its seizure was repeatedly talked over in
his presence. Let him read the Richmond
Enquirer threatening the same thing. Let
him, in short, post himself up, before he writes
any more letters for publication.

This proportion to the whole, of animal pro-

Sunny Side, February ~
This is from woman, but women make up
half the population in Virginia, as well as
everywhere else.
This communication is only solitary ex.
preston Of the earnestness with which the late
victory was fought and won by the people Of
Virginia. 1t was no miserable question Of
Crittenden propositions, which they acted upon,
but the question Of being "hurled into the
mhirlpool Of cirH ,oar,' with its destruction -
of everything which men "hold dear" The
success, or failure, of any measure of remote,
contingent, and doubtful bearings, like the
Crittenden scheme of Africanizing Mexico,
may occupy closet politicians. But the people
of Virginia, looking to the present, and to what
is Immediately about them, are for the Union,
and against civil war, let the fate of such
schemes be what it will. 1t is the people who
have wisely retained the final control of the
whole thing, who will settle it upon the basis
of practical common sense. They are for the
Union, and all the politicians in Richmond and
Washington cannot persuade them out of it.

THE TERRITORY OF COLORADO.

THE TERRITORY OF COLORADO.
The Senate has passed bill, giving Terri
torial organization to the region which has de-
rived its recent importance from the Pixies
Peak gold discoveries.
A recent number of the St. Louis Democrat
contains an elaborate and most interesting let.
ter written at Denver, January Is, by the gen.
tleman who was its correspondent last year in
that quarter. The general effect Of all the in
formation which he gives, is, that the placers
and gulches are not likely to yield gold in great
quantities, but that the gold.bearing quartz, to
be regularly mined and crushed, is richer and
more extensive than in any known gold region.
Of course, the development of this sort of gold
production, will be slower than what has been
witnessed in California, but it may finally at
tain as great proportions, and there is no ap.
parent limit to its perpetuity.
This correspondent continues to speak highly
of the extent of the agricultural resources of
this region.
AS to silver Ieads he says that none have
been found, to compare in richness with those
of the Washoe mines.
Of the San Juan region in New Mexico,
which has produced occasional excitements,
and which is still drawing population away
from Pixies Peak, this correspondent says:
"Several persons who went down there some
months ago, write back here that they have
found as good a thing as they want and
whether they honestly believe so or not, it mat.
ters not here now, thousands are springing for
that section, and intend 10 put in the next sum,
mer there. They say it is delightful country
to live in, some agricultural facilities, extensive
mining fields apparently, and everything in.
viting, they say, except the Navajo Indians"
He, however, doubts if San Juan is, after all
equal to Pixies Peak.
There are three newspapers in Denver City,
and even thus early three pianos.
We recollect to have once asked Sandwich
Island merchant, if he did not feel himself out
of the world in that little speck in the Pacific
Ocean. He seemed astonished, and began to
explain that it was precisely in the centre Of
the world, giving US the distances from Canton,
Valparaiso, Melbourne, &c. Every place is,
thus, the centre of its own world, although on
the edge, or beyond the edge even, of the world
of others.
Pixies Peak is a centre, as will be seen by
the following extract from this correspondent
Parties return and depart between Denver
and the cities of New Mexico and Utah from
week to week, bringing us in possession of in.
telligence transpiring in our neighboring Ter,
ritories Of occasional interest and importance.
Many Of our former citizens are now wintering
in Taos and Santa Fe, which cities are said to
be quite gay and brisk in business matters this
winter. Several of our prominent folks talk OF
making a trip to Santa Fe in few days. New
Mexico will grow more in business and i'm
portance during the next few years, owing to
the gold discoveries, than it would have done
without them in almost century,"

TEXAS.

By the latest dispatches in our paper of
yesterday, it appears that the ordinance Of
secession is to be submitted to a vote of the
people, after all. The vote is to be taken on
the 23d instant, at an indecently short notice
in State of such immense extent. But this
was in the programme upon which the revolu.
tionists started, viz: to complete the work Of
secession before the 4th of March.
The acquiescence in these movements, of
General Houston, as reported by the telegraph,
is discredited by all the Texans here with whom
we have conversed.
1t is not believed that the result of any hur.
ried vote will be acquiesced in, unless Sc.
cession is sustained by number equal to a
majority of the ordinary vote. The proceed
ings have been revolutionary in point of form.
If they are not sustained by an actual majority
Of the people, resistance will be made by the
friends of the Union.
The haste and irreguarity with which seces.
sion has been pushed in Texas, confirm the
opinion that it is the work of men conscious
that they are in the minority.
The rout of secession in Virginia will be
known in the well.populated portions of Texas
before the 23d of February.

THE MISSOURI COMMISSIONERS.

While the event will certainly prove that the
people of Missouri are overwhelmingly for the
Union the Legislature has been managed by
the nulli6ers, and the commissioners to the
"Peace Congress-" are described as being of
that stamp.
From the Missouri Democrat of Feb. 2:
"This commission has been filled by Waldo
P. Johnson, A. W. Doniphan, A. H. Buckner,
j. D. Coulter, and Harrison Hough. This is
Just as every one of the slightest perception

of Eden, and fell from his happy state only be.
cause he did not fully appreciate his blessings
in that behalf. Messrs. Buckner and Coulter
are nullifers Of twenty years standing. They
have always asserted the right of State to
nullify any act Of Congress which she did not
like. Waldo p. johnson was an old Benton
man, but some sixty days ago made full and
perfect surrender to the propagandists, so we
are informed. These Commissioners 90 to
Washington to insist upon the propagandism.
Col. Donlphan's voice being overruled, they will
propose as an utimatum the future acquisition
of lands on which to build slave States; that
slavery shall be fully protected where it exists,
is not what they seek at nll. The policy ofthe
Government must become, if it satisfies the
commission, propagandist policy. They will
present the Crittenden resolutions as their ulti.
matum the Republicans will be asked to con.
sttutionalize the extension doctrine, and build
up on the west of the Rio Grande, an empire
Of slavery greater even than that which already
exists. This small measure Of concession will
be called compromise. Of course it will be re.
fused-must be refused-ought to refused.
That it will be refused, the Commissioners
know now. When they return, however, they
can cry out against the Republicans for not
making concessions, and breaking up all hopes
of peace. This course, it is supposed, will pro
mote the cause of secession; and that is the
only object of the mission"
