The Draft Postponed.

The result Of Gov. Swift's visit to
Washington was made manifest in the fol.
loving telegram received yesterday from
Washington, which was received with gen.
cral satisfaction throughout the State:
WASHINGTON, Nov. I, IL r. N.
Capt. T. NJ. Saunders, A. A. Q. NJ:
The quota at Minnesota has been so much
reduced by former excess and volunteers since
the draft was ordered, that no draft will be
made in that State before the fifth day Of jan
nary 1864, and only then in case she fails to
raise her quote of 800, 900 volunteers called
for by the President.
(Signed,)
JAMES B. FRY,
Provost Marshal General.
The meaning OF this is simply that
Minnesota won't have to raise any more
men to fill her old quota. Old scores are
wiped out and new set of books have
been opened, and the State is now only
liable for her quota of the 10000 volun-
teers called for by the President on the
7th of October The quota under this
call is about $500 men raised by volun-
teeriog before January 5th. To whatever
portion there remains to be filed by draft,
fifty per cent will be added Pres, 8M.

NAMES OF NAVAL VEssELs.-The
New York Journal Of Commerce, has the
following sensible remarks On tho subject
cf names for the vessels Of our navy:
''Some Of the Indian names selected by
tho christening bureau Of the Navy d.
.partmsnt for tho now war vessels are very
harmonious and pretty; some arc very
rough and unpronouuceable all are un-
ques,ionably original, not to say aboriginal.
No nation on earth has larger and richer
mine Of antique nomenclature to draw up
or in tho naming Of vessels. But there
j. tao much Of good thing even. Of In
d;an-sometimes. Our naval force has
nov reached such number that all the
better class Of Indian names seems to
have been called into play, aud only ca
eophonous ones are left. The Umpqua.
Junxcs, Squando, and Wambanogue-
specimens taken at random from the last
batch determined upon-are harsh, hard to
pronounce, aud hard to remember. No
human being, buta native 1ndian.* with
IN extensive knowledge Of the dialects Of
al tho extinct tribes, could recollect the
vessels ehristenel within the past two years.
We are glad to see, therefore, if only for
the promotion Of that variety which is
tho spice Of life, that the Navy Depart
mont has introduced the plan Of number
ing vessels. Thirteen new irou-clads
have been ordered, which will be number
cd from l to IL. Simple and advantage
Gus IS this mode Of distinguishing vessels
ia it has mover, *we believe, been used be-
fore. When the Navy Department and
tho public become accustomed to the U.s.
age, and see how easy it is to remember,
and record, and keep track Of tho num-
bers of,vsssels instead Of their names, We
predict that this plan will superseede al

EMloRAN1s.- We observed quite a
number Of emigrants awaiting the arrival
of the ferry boat this morning. 1t seems
quite late in the season for much emigra-
ton, but they still come. Minnesota has
filled up fast this season. The general
supposition was that, on account Of tho
Indian difficulties which have occurred in
Minnesota, that emigration would be very
much checked To the contrary, it has
been much larger than last season. The
sturdy yeoranry are not easily frightened,
and the whoop of an Indian has but little
effect upon those reared upon the frontier
used to privations and hardships They
are not class who shrink from anything
that crosses their pathway.-La Crosse

FROM CAPT. .FISK'S EXPEDITION.

A correspondent writing to the St. Paul
papers from Capt. Flsk's expedition states
that it reached Bannock City, Idaho Ter
ritory, on the first of October The dis
lance from St. Paul is fifteen hundred and
ten miles,
We make few extracts:
We discovered at different places immense
beds of ccal; at one place we found coal bed
ten feet thick and one buudrcd feet in length {;
it was btuminous and burnt we'll. The seam
crops out on the face Of the bluff, anu could
be most readily worked
From Mouse River to Milk River, a distance
Of nearly seven hundred miles, we saw i'm
mensc herds of Buffaloes every day. From
Fort Benton we had the first view of the Rocky
Mountains looming up like cloud at dis
lance Of nearly two hundred miles.
The grandest sight we witnessed in tho
course of our journey. was a hot, or boiling
spring in the Deer Lodge Prairie, about thirty
miles southeast of MIR. Grants farm, on the
road to this place. The spring is on the snm-
NIT Of mound of solid rock in the shape of q
sugar loaf, about seventy feet above the level
Of the prairie. The water gushes up through
q crevice with trem endous force, and is in
tensely hot. This spring is in the middle of a
level prairie, and all around it are lofty noun
tains
Game of all kinds are plenty in both the
western and eastern slope Of the mountains
such as elk. deer, grisly and black bear. big
horn or mountain sheep, antelope, moose,
beaver, sage hen, spot,e.! tiger or mountain
lion, so called for tho resemblance in size and
shape to the lion; and also fine large trout are
found in all tho mountain streams, which arc
great treat to tray elers and settlers.

GOODNIGHT.

Downward sinks the setting sun,
Soft the evening shadows fall;
Light is flying,
Day is dying,
Darkness stealeth over all,
Goodnight!
Autumn gamers IN her stores--
Poison on the fading year;
Leaves are dying,
Winds are signing
Whispering of the winter near,
Goodnight!
Youth is vanished, manhood wanes;
Age its forward shadows throws;
Day is dying,
Years are flying,
Life rurs onward to its close,
Good night!
