my, or rather armies, with which the Uni
ted States viii next spring resume active
operations will be the largest and best the
world will have seen in modern times, while
those with which they will have to contend
will be vastly less numerous and less etfec-

These important facts are row so patent
that all weil-informed persons realize them

MESSAGE Of Govarnor Parker,

The Message Of Governor Parker of New
Jersey, delivered on Wednesday week.
discusses the question of paciication. He
says the war should he prosecuted by all con
stitutiOnal means to destroy the power Of
the rebellion, and re-establishment Of the
national authority over the whole country.
He disapproves ofthe plan of the Presi-
dent amnesty proclamation arguing for con
ciliatory measures and restoration of State
governments as they existed before the rebel
lien. He also disapproves of the emancipa-
tion proclamation as an obstacle in the way
of peace, etc The Governor is one Of the
conservative --Peace-Demecratc stripe,
and hence no surprise need be felt at his OPP
position to the measures of the Administra-
ton in suppressing the rebellion.

The New York Evening Post, of Satur-
day the 10Th January contains copy of a
letter from Collector Barney, TO the Secgeta-
ry of the Treasury, in regard to the late
frauds in the Custom House in that city
The Collector says he has evidence that frauds
have been practiced upon the Government
in the entry Of goods for a number of years,
and involving persons within and without
the Custom House. The full amount Of the
frauds have not as Yet been ascertained, nor
all the persons connected with them He
says the investigations have reached point
rendering it advisable that the immediate law
officers of the Treasury, by his advice and
counsel, should participate in them, and
therefore requests that the Solicitor of the
Treasury may De directed to come here for
that purpose. We hope that these frauds
will be fully exposed, and the guilty parties
receive their just punishment That frauds
exists, no more viii deny but it is source
of qualification to know that the National
Administration is possessed of the honesty
and the nerve to investigate all alleged pc
culations. and bring to justice the offending

to warn the Emperor that as Louis XVI.
did not leave the crown to his son, as the
King of Rome did not succeed to the

Che arrival of the express from Star city on
Sunday night, with SACRAMENTO and San

Eastern dates TO June 1st, tremendous ex-
element prevailed, and although there were
really no Eastern dates later than those
brought by the Salt Lake Express on Friday
evening, aad by Wells, Fargo & Coon Sat-
urday, nevertheless a rumor got 'adOat that
there was news in camp later than that con-
tanned in those papers, and that we were go
ing to publish it in an extra. Our aYo#al to
the contrary was unsatisfactory. Some mad
heard that Grant had marched his army into
Richmond, while others had it from Oonfden-
tial sources that Lee was bearing down on
Washington, with Grant far in the rear try
ing to head him off. None of those stories,
however, being traceable to responsible
sources, it was finally settled upon that the
" Press" was undsr the ban Of the Govern

headquarters at Fort Boise prohibiting the
