They are the extreme Northern States of
Mexico and have an area of sO5,OOO square
miles. or 80 per cent. more than the whole
Of France, and nearly one half of theentire
territorial surface of Mexico. About the
year 1858 they contained population of
only 700, ,eO0-which has varied but very
little since that time. They combine every

Sonora. They are the Oldest on the Amer

make them the richest.

One of His Flock.
JUNIUs

The following is told of preacher of the
Methodist church, who was travelling
in one of the back settlements, and stopped
at cabin, where an old lady received him
very kindly. After setting provisions be-
fore him, she began to question him.
"Stranger, whar mout you bo from ?" "Mad>
am, I reside in Clinton county, Pennsyl-
vania." avail, stranger, hope no offence,
but what mout you be sdoin' way up here2'
MADAM, am searching for the lost sheep
of the tribe of Israel" "John, John n
shouted the old lady, ''come rite here this
mint; here's stranger all the way from

stock, and I'll jest bet my life that tangle-
haired, old, black ram, thst's bin in our lot

All men will rejoice in the repeal of the
iniquitous black codeof Illinois. One thing
yet remains to be done. The Constitution
of Illinois should be smeEded so as to al
low free persons of color to come into the
Slate and slaveowners to bring their slaves
into the State to free them. In 1851 nli-
nois voted to exclude free negroes by a vote
of l76,s96 in faver to 4, ,3O6 against it. On
the proposition to allow negroes the right
Of suffrage, the vote stood 21l, ,92O against
the right, and for it, 35,649. Since then
there has been progress, and no doubt
popular vote would reverse these decisions

VIII ceiling Matters.

The following bill, to abolish slavery in
West Virginia, has just been offered in the
Legislature of that State. The Intelligence
CT says there is no evidence of anything
like 8 formidable opposition to the bill:
Bett enacted By the Legislature of Vest
TiTgiaria, First, That all persons held 10
service or labor as slaves in this state, are
hereby declared free. Second, That there
shall hereafter be neither slavery nor in
voluntary servitude in this State except in
the punishment of crime, whereof the par
ty shall have been duly convicted.

The Bugbear OF Recognition One'
more.


We are treated TO a now sensation, in the
form of a statement in the New York
Tribune, that Spain, Austria and France,
being Catholic powers, VIII on the 4th Of
next March, recognize JEFF Davis, with
the understanding that the Catholic is to
be the established religion in rebeldom.
This is certainly novel enough for the most
delicate of sppe!ites. But what of it
Suppose the cheap courtesy of s national
bow of the head is bestowed upon poor
Davis7 WIllthatli lift the blockade? Will
it add 10 Jef7s. srmies2 Will it spike
Grants cannon2 Will it shake off the
grim Sherman from his fierce clutch at the
throats of tho fire eaters and chivalry
viii 1t give the rebels Savannah and Fort
Fisher2 Not at ell Let His Holiness the
Pope, therefore, league himself with any
number of Catholic powers, and recognize
Davis, if they wish to. That will not stop
the war, nor prevent US from subiugating
the rebels. Such cheap stuff as official
mods from foreign powers are not remark
bly, profitable to the grateful recipient.
Davis, however, will be glad of recognition
from any quarter. In the meantime, we
trust in Sherman and Grant to take the
nonsense out of European nations that
would like to gslvsnize the dead COnfed-
eracy into living Catholic nationality

IeR: Davis, ProposItions.

A special to the Cincinnati Commercial
ssys:
The following facts, which, though not
strictly new, will bear repetition t. those
wisescres who have placed their faith in
the sO-cslled peace mission. 1t appears
from to-dsy's inquiries,
First-That JEFF. Davis was very snx-
ious to send Peace Commissioners, but
would not yield the point that they should
be accredited from any one of the Uonfed-
crate States.
Second-That he was opposed to any
State action looking toward peace, unless
it should be on the basis of the Southern
States being an Independent nation.
Third-That in negotiating for peacs it
should be on the basis of the Southern
States being an independent nation.
Fourth-That the only terms he should
agree to, were an acknowledgment of the
Confederate States.
WHAT MR.. BLAIR PROPOSED.
So far as can be ertained, Mr.. Blair
felt himself authorized to say that he was
positive that peace could be negotiated
with his Government only on the following
conditions:
Unconditional submission to the
Union.
Second-General amnesty and abandon
ment of confscstion.
LEE MADE eEEERALIssIMo.
The Daily Dispatch of the 27th, says
that JEFF. Davis has appointed Lee Com
mander-in CHEF.
AFFAIRS IN WILMINGTON.
The Wilmington Journal, of the 22d,
says the Federal forces have fallen back,
and are concentrating at Fort Fisher.
ING UP WILMINGTON.
A letter from loyal American st Mas
dated on the 18th inst, received at Wash
ington on Sunday last, states that at thst
time there we're nineteen blockade run
ners in that port, taking in cargOes of arms,
ammunition, medicines, clothing and pro-
visions, with the intention of running
them into Wilmington. The letter also
states that in warehouses of Nassau there
was stored on Confederate account over
two and hRlfmIlion pounds of bacon ,lsrge
quantities of arms, boots, shoes, blankets
and clothing of every description. In one
warehouse alone, over thirty thousand
stand of Enfield muskets were stored,
waiting an opportunity to run the block
Rde. Several one hundred FOUNDER Arm
strong guns had also recently been ship
ped on rebel account The capture of
Wilmington concludes blockade running |
60 far as this port is concerned. Parties
interested in the business will not risk
the chances of running goods into any
other Confederate port
GEN. DANA ON THE COTTON QUESTION.
Major-General Dana, commanding at
Memphis, has written to WASH |
ington explaining that his pre-
Flous action on the cotton question
was taken before he was aware of the in
tentions of the Government in the pre-
miFes. Now that he understands the case.
he says there will be no longer any con-
fict between the civil and military author
tiles.
