ance which it may be necessary to dispose
of. aud which, involving no principle aud
affecting the rights Of no State, come prop

power. We have reason to believe that
President Davis does not stand upon this
ground, although we Judge of his opinions
only from his acts and his public declara
tons.
The Yankee President has no more pow
er to put the Yankee States into convention
with ours than President Davis has to put
as in convention with them. The treaty

ments. But the Yankees have long aceus-
taEaed themselEe 10 consider theirs con-
soillated government, possessing all pow

as possessing no more sovereignty than the
counties. Indeed. in one of his speeches.
Lincoln expressly declared that they had no
more power than this. Should we agree,
therefore, the convention would certainly
take gIace. Il is wonderful. In the mean.
time. that intelligent men like Vallandig-
ham and Fernando Wood-who must be
fully acquainted with the Southern doctrine
Of State rights, and must know that all this
blood has been shed in their defence-should
think II possible 10 get US into such con-

and one only. They can withdraw from
the Confederacy, each State on its own sep
arate account and responsibility. They
can then, each State for itself. go into such
convention. This they will be pretty
sure net to do so that the hope of getting
them into this scraPe is but lost hope.
The very act of sending delegates to such
a convention would be construed by the
sister States into a Withdrawal from the
Confederacy. The sending delegates to-
would be an exercise of sovereignty. and as
the Confederate Government is not sover-
eign, 1t follows as necessary consequence
that it can neither send delegates nor com

entire independence and sovereignty of each

A Great Waterfall.

A detachment Of troops recently scouting
in the valley Of the Snake or Lewis Fork Of
the Columbia, discovered waterfall which,
it is said, is entitled to the distinction Of be
ing called the greatest in the world. The
e';tire volume ofShake river pours over q
shee, precipice one hundred and ninety eigh.
ty feet high, thirty feet higher than Niaga-
ra. Snake river is full as large as the Nj.
agara, and the cascade is on solid sheet or
body. The locality Of this immense water
fall is near the point heretofore designated
as the great Shoshone or Salmon Falls of
that river, but they have always been envel.
oped in mystery. Almost dozen years ago
the writer passed along the Snake river
road. For two days we heard the roaring
Of these falls, but tearing no more respecting
them than ifthey had been in the moon.
1t was said that there was series OF falls
and rapids making the descent of seven
hundred feet in seven miles and the sound
gave color to the report. For hundreds Of
miles across the great plains, Snake river
flows through canon, with vertical walls
hundreds Of feet high. 1t is only at long
intervals that salient points are found BY
which tho river can be reached. The road
crosses from point to point Of the bends
only approaching close to tho river where
there is a chance to descend for wats r.
From these facts very few If any, Of the
tens Of thousands Of adventurers that have
crossed the plains ever looked upon the
great falls. The late disco;erers report
beside tho main cataract many others Of
less height varying from twenty to fifty feet
each, near by. Some day they will be visi.
