IDAHO.

Congress has passed bill to create a new
Territory out of Eastern Oregon and Western
Dakota, under the name of Idaho, which is the
Indian for "Gem of the Mountains" 1t extends
from the eastern boundary of Oregon to the 9th
meridian of longitude and from the 42d to the
46th parallel of latitude, covering hundred and
twenty-five thousand square miles. The whole
breadth Of the Rocky Mountains and all the head
waters of the great rivers are included in it. In
the plains west Of the mountains are the gold
mines of Salmon river, and others more or less
important, but said to be generally productive
throughout the whole Territory. a town is es-
tablished in the center of the gold district with
the Indian name of Bannock, which has popu-
lation of about thousand, and receives cons
slant accession of immigrants. The great rivers
which drain the Territory in every part, are nav.
gable by steamers. and give direct communities

be built along the valley of the Platte river,
through Nebraska and Idaho, to the South Pass.

lily broadens, aud with tie organization of the
Territories, the stream of immigration flows ever
further on. The foundations of new common
wealths are planted even at the base and on the
slope of the Rocky Mountains, and the Atlantic

BILE or annoyance was experienced from the
conclusion. smoke, either from the impact Of
shot outside or from the discharge of the gun.
When q shot struck the turret it sounded like
the cracking Of nut upon an anvil. Many
difficulties were experienced, but all admit OF
remedy; but it is marvel how such complica-
ted machinery worked upon its first trial. The
turret weighing one hundred and sixty tons is,
as you know, keyed up from below, and it's
weight supported on shaft. After continued
firing it sagged somewhat, and considerable
trouble was encountered in keying up so that il
would revoive easily. The blast from the guns
came back through the eye holes in the pilot
house, so that effects of practice could not be
observed. The big gun fills up its port hole so
that it could not be sighted, except by the
'!eleven inch alongside Of it, which is rough
| gunnery. Firing over the stern and quarter
caused the boilers to foam; they must be Sc
cured also more firmly; down below, glass suf'
fered and the wicks Of lamps disappeared at
each discharge. Some means must be devised
| for handling the enormous projectiles, weighing
upwards of four hundred pounds.

Terrible Tragedy at Columbus.
COLUMBUS. XIV. March 9 lSf

COLUMBUS, KY, March y, 1868.
A terrible tragic affair occurred here about Eve
o'clock this morning at the Columbus House. A
man by the name OF Rodgers, who was elected q
member of Congress from the Memphis district,
but on some account was refused seat, in sud.
den fit of insanity. as is supposed, commenced
an attack upon Lieutenant while in bed. The
landlord, hearing the disturbance, rushed in,
when Rodgers attacked him with a knife, stab
bling him in terrible manner. The landlords
wife, hearing her husbands cries for help,
came running in, and was Immediately attacked
by the mailman, and gashed in manner which
renders her recovery impossible. During the
ARRAY, the Lieut. received a pistol shot, which
is feared will prove mortal. The guard here
rushed in and fred upon the unfortunate man,
who attempted his work of murder upon them.
He finally fell dead, being shot with five bullets,
and run through with two bayones. The land
lord, bis wife and the Lieutenant are now lying
at the point of death, the two former, it is
thought cannot survive the night. In any other
place than Columbus, this would create a sensa.
ton, but here it is already an old story.
The Military Railroad from this place to Cor
inth is abandoned for the present.

Gen. NIcClernand,s Letter.
BEFoRk V,CKsBuRG, Feb. %, !

BEFORE ViCKsBURG, Feb. ~, 1868,
Hon. John Vdn Buren:
An extra from your late speech has just come
under my notice. 1t has the clear old demo-
cratic ring, and contrasts so strikingly with the
spurious emana.ons of latter day democratic
imposteys, that cannot forbear to hail it. II
reminds me of the better days of the democrotic
party, when, under the inspirations of Jackson
and your father, its boosted watchword was:
The Union: it must be preserved" Respons-
lively to that sentiment, / upheld the arms OF
both those magistrates to the extent OF my abili-
ty, and at the sacrifice of home and its endear-
ments, and am now bearing arms, amid disease
and death, against an armed enemy who would
desc crate it.
Northern peacemongers, who would dishono'
that sentiment by proclaiming an armistice in
the face Of rebellious and defiant enemy, Blu,
add pusiilapimity to treachery, and truly, as you
energeticaIly say, twill be carried away,"if not
by "lhe torrent" ofpublic opinion, eventually by
force Of arms
Your obedient servant,
JOHN A. MCCLERNAND.

A RExEDY FOR SMALL Pox.-Tbe German
Reformed Messenger has received letter from
friend in China, in which it is stated great
discovery is reported to have been recently
made by Surgeon of the English army in
Chino, in the way of an effectual cure for small
pox. The mode of treatment is as follows
When the preceding fever is at its height and
just before the eruption appears, the chest is
rubbed with croton oil and tartaric ointment
This causes the whole of the eruption to appear
on that part Of the body, to the relief OF the
rest. 1t also secures full and complete erup-
ton, and thus prevents the disease from attack
ing the internal organs. This is said to be now
the established mode of treatment in the Eng
lish army in China by general orders, and is re-
garded as perfect success.

The REBIL ANSWER TO THE CoPPKRHHAps.-
There are some fellows who will not take hint
even when conveyed by the toe Of heavy boot
The northern peace men are of this style. They
refuse to hear the reply the rebels make to theil
weak nonsense. They are fairly kicked, bu,
don't seem to know it. The more they try to
act the turnkey, the more the rebels refuse to
tolerate their funkeysm. A late number of the
Richmond Enquirer, after giving an account Of
the CoppeEhead demonstrations in tie North
west. says:
Let us respond to the sympathies of the
Northwest in the proper sprit-that is with the
bayonet. Those fond feelings which (they saw
are gushing and flowing toward US now, let US
not rudely turn back to their spring in the Hoo
sier heart, but rather open wider the source, and
quicken the current, and swell! the volume OF
their love, by the only means we have ever used
with success-namely horse, foot, and especially
artillery"
