a voice at the polls, while eminent ci-

for the gubernatorial chair, from whom
a choice might be made that would COM

we beg to suggest the propriety of Sc

inent public men Ohio now has in the
field. Such a candidate while being
thoroughly acquainted with every want
Of the soldier would, at the same time,
possess equal ability to administer, the
domestic affairs of the State. For such
candidate we can safely pledge the
undividedsupport of Ohio's one hundred
thousand soldiers.

The Division of Washington Territory.

At last we may congratulate our people thai,
n division Of our Territory has been effected.
The new Territory of Idaho has been created,
composed Of the tract of country including
and surrounding the Salmon river gold mines.
We have not ut the time of writing received
the boundaries Of the new Territory, but have
every cause for believing that the ll2'h me-.
ridian is the western boundary Of Idaho.
This will give more general satisfaction to the
people Of both Territories than any other line
that could have been selected. Most of the
hardslips complained Of while VIC remained
intact, will be overcome, and each Territory
will embrace about an equal area. The inte-
rests Of Idaho will centre upon mining opera
tons, while those of Washington will be
founded upon agriculture pursuits and COM
mcrcc, Though the natural outlets. Puget
Sound and Pacific City. We believe the
prosperity of boil, sections is now fixed fact,
and il we remain exempt from the ravagcs of
warfare on our own shores, we can look TO the
future with confident hope
If the new Territory has the proper sort of
men selected for her officers, from her own
residents, we doubt not hut that general salts
faction will cns,,e, and if her rich mines con-
tinue to yield as abundanily as heretofore it
will not be long till Idaho will be knocking
for admission into the Union of States. From
all indications at the present time, her progress
will not be much less rapid than that of Cal
i.ornia. Success, say we, to the new TERRI.
TORY OF IDAHO!
