Auigh.Handed Outrage.

We lack satisfactory statement of the facts
in the case of the arrest of Judge Constable, one
of the Circuit Judges of this State, by United
States military authority, but whatever the pre-
else facts, the proceeding is one of thel most
high handed outrages and usurpations of power
perpetrated since this war began. The alleged
ground of the arrest seems 10 be that Judge
Constable had granted writs of habeas corpus
with reference to certain persons claimed as
deserters from the Federal military service, and
decided certain provisions of acts of Congress
unconstitutional. These things he had done, of
course. by virtue of hls judicial office.
The arrest has all the bad features of the former
arbitrary arrests and imprsonments, and the
vastly worse features of direct blow at the very
existence of the judiciary II Judge Constable's
decisions were wrong, it was easy TO correct them
py regular judicial proceeding; but his arrest is a
proclamation that the War Department will pur-
sue no judicial proceeding, and that it will seize
all Judges, however high, who may interfere with
the performances of the military undeylings scat
tered over the country. The Judges Of the Su-
preme Court OF the State. in the performance Of
their duties under the laws, would have no more
safety than prevailed with Judge Constable. The
judiciary was the last shield of the people, if that
is gone the Constitution Of the United States is
as compIetely o,erturned in the North as in the
South
The occurrence will awaken public feeling such
as has not been known before, and calls for the
immediate and NEST peremptory action OF the
State authorities Will the Governor of Illinois
do his duty at this crisisf Viii! he demand the
quick release Of Judge Constable. aud insist that
the sovereignty of the State shall be respected
The people impatiently wait to koow.-lObi-
cago Times.

THURLow WEED, one Of the oldest and most
eminent Of the Republican journalists, condemns
i'm the severest terms the course of the New York
Tribune and the class Of publications which it
represents in reference to the present troubles of
the country The structures Of Mr. WEED viii
find application in Indiana He intimates
Fort Lafayette for the editor and the sup
preston of the Tribune. This is becom-
ing serious business. 1t would indeed be
curious if the radical organ should be
driven to ask the protection Of Governor SEY-
HoUR, but no one can tell 10 what passes these
times may bring HIM Mr.. WkED's charge OF
the responsibility Of that paper for the horrors of
war is forcible. and also too true. After quoting
from the Tribune a few OF the secession articles
which appeared in that print after the election Of
Mr.. LIscoLS, Mr.. WED proceeds as follows:
On the 9Th of November, 1860. Mr.. Greeley
not only yindicated the right" of the cotton
States 70 leave the Union. but said he would ere
sist all coereive means to keep tneminn."
On the 26th Of the same month. he not ONLY
said that he thought the "cotton States should
be allowed "to Withdraw from the Union ;, hut
objected 10 the use Of force" 70 preserve that
Union.
On the 23d Of February. 1862. he declared tina,
when the Southern people became "aIienated
from the Union, and anxious to escape from it. I"
he would do bis best 70 forward their views"
Il will be seen, therefore. that Nr. Greedy not
only invited the cotton Ststes to so out of the
Union, but insisted that they should be permitted

Another Pres. mobbed and Destroyed.

Another Press STObbed and Destroyed.
Elsewhere will be found communication de-
failing the particulars of the destruction of the
Richmond Jeffersonian newspaper establishment.
The outrage was committed by party ofparoled
Union soldiers on their route from Cincinnati to
st. Louis. no doubt instigated by misrepresenta-
tions as to the true character OF the Jefersonian
and the Influence of bad whisky. Tine destruc-
ton of the Office was complete. Aud what was
the ofense of Mr.. ELDER. the proprietor and
editor of the Jeffersonianl He is a Democrat.
Honestly entertaining the opinion that the
triumph of Democratic principles and the repre-
sensatives of those doctrines give them vitality,
is the only hope for the preservation of the Con
stitution and the Union, Mr. ELDER advocated
and upheld them. This is his only crime.
But he is charged by men who have for
wears avowed the acknowledgements of all
government-thtt there Is law higher than the
Constitution, with being disloyal What is 10y
aIty2 Fidelity to the Constitution is the true
definition. In what respect then has the Jeifer-
sonian been disIoyal?-where the evidence. in
word or deed, or even in spirit? 1t has not
bowed down to the fell spirit of Abolitionism.
hence Abolitionists set up the cry of dislOyalty.
1t has stood by the Constitution and the Union
as the sheet-anchor Of liberty, yet the men who
claim TO be the peculiar champions of freedom
have accomplished its destruction by mob vio-
lence Such is the freedom of the press and Of
speech in this land Of liberty.
A newspaper is the property of the party which
it represents Hence its destruction on account
of the principles it has advocated and defended is
not only blow at its proprietor, but against all
who have supported and sympathized with it. 1t
is due to Mr. ELDER that the loss he has met
with should be Immediately made up to him and
the Jeifersonian again started as representative

miners were said to have realized from $50 to
$40 per day. These discoveries we're made on
Grasshopper creek nesr the three forks of the
Missouri, in the vicinity of Big Hole prairie.
Mines were also opened on Gold creek and IL
Prickly Pear valley which yielded finely The
gold is of a very fine quality, known among mi
ners as scale gold, and at the Mint would be
worth sl9 50 per ounce. The company above
referred TO have some magnificent specimens at
their offise ia st. Louis.
On Deer Lodge Creek extensive placers were
opened and late in the autumn the miners laid
out a town on that stream, OF the junction OF
Mullan's road and the famous road constructed
by the lamented Lander. The valley of this
stream is described as one of the finest in the vi
cinity abouaiing in game of every variety TO be
found in the mountains. At last accounts Deer
Lodge CITY, as the new town was called, though
but few months old, boasted nearly hundred
houses. A regular line of communication is
kept up with Salt Lake and Fort Laramie and
there is a prospect of considerable emigration
thither from the Pixies Peak region.
All the valleys on the head waters of the Mis-
souri, are exceedingly fertile. Near Deer Lodge
City is a settlement of half dozen French fami-
lies, who have resided there several years With
them is one John Grant, old mountaineer.
This individual has IA Lerd of six hundred cattle,
as fine as any that could be found in the States.
aud, though he had paid little attention to agri-
culture, "A few fields OF corn attested to the ex-
cellent qualities of the soil. 1t is thought that
the whole region would prove well adapted for
farming purposes.
The new gold mines are one hundred and
eighty miles from Fort Benton, four hundred and
fifty miles from Fort Walla Waila. and three hun
dred miles from Salt Lake CITY. They are known
to exist over belt of country hundred miles
in length by about forty in width The fact that
gold has been found along the Rocky Mountains
wherever prospected leads to the belief that the
whole region is auriferous. But few years
longer will be required to develop the truth or
falsity of this suppositiOn.
Our map shows tie limits of the proposed Ter
ritoiy. The new region. being easily accessible
10y steamboats,. will attract mueh of the Western
travel, and ere long we may expect to add an
other to our list of Territories.
