There are great numbers of Germans,
fresh from the old country, proceeding to
Missouri, to take up the u~noccupied lands
in that State which yet belong to the Gov
eminent. 1t is said that there are over
six millions of acres oflahd yet in Missouri
to be had at one dollar and a quarter an

perior. In November, 34,6I2.9s acres
were taken up for homestead actual settle

Oregon Indicate a rapid extension of pre-

acres, in November, were located with
agricultural college scrip.

1 think that MI. Raymond attracts
much more attention, and centers more
real interest than any other member.
Juding, too, from the many cards sent in
to him, and his frequentI am bound to
say brief-absences from his seat, he at
tracts considerable attention outside the
House. In the House, and thus far he is
altogether unassuming, almost retiring.
Although he is one of the most prominent
men in the majority, he pleads a personal
minority-youth as a Congressman, and
inexperienced in the rules and usages. So.
he modestly rises to ~'inquire,n and mani
tests that innocent yet earnest desire for
information about matters upon which,
perhaps, he is more thoroughly "posted,"
than any man on the floor.
IRREGULARITY OF MAIL 9RAINs.
Postmaster General Dennison has di-
rected the issuance of a circular to rail-
road managers throughout tho country
which remarks upon the irregularity that
occurred in the transmission of mails last
winter by rail, owing to the general cause
that trains were made up so long that it
was impossible for the engineers to make
their schedule time. Railroad corpora
tons are reminded that it is obligatory
upon them to convey Il fmails according
to their most expeditions schedules, what
ever may be the delay to their passenger
or freight traffic, and that the only effect
i've remedy to the Irregularities COM
planned of is in lessening the number of
cars on the mail trains to the maximum
that will not prevent the advertised speed
being easily and unfailingly made. m,-i I,

Judge Yarmouth, of Louisiana, who

ment for submission to the Reconstruction
COMMITTEES, in which he insists that Louis
lana cannot be represented as. q State.
She lost her status by the passage of the
secession ordinance, and no amount of
voting by such men as supported Wells
can reconstruct her. Mr.. Yarmouth rep

undisputed loyalty he believes his chances
for a seat are good, if he can convince the
Reconstruction Committee that Louisiana
is simply so much conquered territory.
Part of his argument is directed against
the delegates who were elected by. white,
and consequently disloyal votes. Mr.:
Barker, n of the regular delegstionfrom
Louisiana, has given up the contest, and
goes backto-morrow. He has autographed
Governor Wells that there is at present no
hope for their kind of delegates; 9HTIE

the baibf of the Wertz Military Commission
has returned from his tramp in pursuit Of Wertz
witnesses, but of list of sixty bat thirty three
were found, all of whom are on their way to this
city.
Many of the rebel officers were fearful that
il they came to Washington they would be ar
rested and placed in confinement by the Court
and 1t was not until they had received due sssu-
RANGES, that they would come out from their
hiding places. The list of those subpehaed EN-
braces names of officers of all grades. from the
rank of colonel down. and also a number of pri
vste soldiers. Most of those summoned served
with Wertz while he in command Of the
Andersonville prisoppen. The sutler and com
missary are also among the number.
During his soiourn in the South the different
military commanders oheerfully co operated
with Mr. Emerson, and gave him every as
sistanee in the discovery and summonng oi
witnesses.
