IDAHO.

The Governor of Idaho gives thefollowing in
his recent message:
The vast unmeasurable structural wealth em-
bodied within our confines, SO nicely balanced,
OF mineral, farming and grazing interests, with
mountain forests and timber land, and water
power of every description, eminently adapt us
for a self-supporting community. The fertile
bottOm-lands of the St. Joseph, Ceur D'Alone
Spokane, Lo-too, Palouse, Lapwall, Koos-ko
kia, Nat-so, Payette, Wiser, Boise, Malade, and
their tributaries, would alone sustain, properly
cultivated, a population larger than most of the
Atlantic States; while ranges ofnutritious bunch
grass suitable for herds cover millions of acres.
Add TO their placer diggings, of greater or less
richness, extending for hundreds ofsquare miles,
with well-defned gold and silver bearing quartz
lodges, unriyalled by those of Mexico or Peru;
a glorious climate, with Syrian summers and
Italian winters, bespeak the permanence of our
untold resources, and the prosperity that surely
and positively await their development.

A letter from loyal American at Mas
sau, dated on the 10th inst, states that at
that time there were nineteen blockade
runners in that port, taking in cargoes of
arms, ammunition, medicines, clothing and
provisions, with the intention of running
them into Wilmington. The letter also
states that in the warehouse at Nassau there
were stored on Confederate account, over
two and half million pounds Of bacon,
large quantities of arms, boots, shoes,
blankets, and clothing of every description
In one warehouse alone, over thirty thou
sand stand of En6ald nnnSksts were stored,
waiting an opportunity to run the block

chances of running goods into any other
confederate port.

THE GREAT WEST.

A trip thousand miles through the
heart of the West awakens kindling
thought of the greatness Of the Republic.
The West is the Empire: fact unacknowl
edged at the East, because the East knows
not the West. But an impartial traveller
soon perceives that the East is not the
country. New York and New England
are but the thumb and forefnger; the
West is the rest of the hand.
A Western visit IN summer is best for
seeing the country in winter, best for see
ing the people. And are they not the
heartiest, friendliest, most hOspitable Of
the human race. What ''Scotch wei
come" may be, we know not; but if better
than Western welcome, it is better than
a plain man deserves. Jostle a Westerner
in the street, and at once you are aequin-
tances: meet him the next day, and you
are old friends. A shake of the hand in
the West has more gripe in it than be-
tween New York and Bangor Child Of
the East, the West is the chief crown Of
the parent. The universal New England
element westward is not only the best part
of New England; for only the courageous,
The energetic, and the conquering have
haoll the viii to quit Eastern homes for
Western prairies. Thus the early Pilgrims
to New England have their truest sons in
tile later Pilgrims from New England. A
Yankee, therefore, does not come to his
fullest stature in Yankeeland; the grown
Yankee IS the Wastern.sr. at the East he
is geranium in pot, thrifty and Prim;
at the West geranium II garden
where he grows rank, exubersnt, ana gen.

DRESS AND DISEASES.

There is no truth more firmly established
among medical men than that disease follows
fashions as much as bonnets do. When thin
shoes prevail, consumption is the prevailing ep-
idemic with females in every fashionable COM
munity of the country. When lownecked dresses
are in the ascendant, sore throat and quinsy are
the raging maladies. When "bustles" and
"bishops" made their appearance, spinal afec-
tiOns became "the tom. The reign of corsets
is denoted by collapsed lungs dyspepsia, and a
general arrangement of the digestive organs
Indeed, SO intimately are dress and disease con-
nected, that the doctor says that all he needs to
determine what majority of the women are dy-
ing out, is to have an inventory of their ward
robe handed to him.

ArmIng the Shave. in the South.

In the phrenzy desperation, the rebel
leaders at Richmond look to the arming of
the slaves as their last hope. They evi-
IDENTIFY feel that it is applying the match to
the magazine, but necessity know no law.
A Savannah letter of December 31st,
shows how the proposed arming of slaves
is regarded in that city and in Georgia.
The writer remarks:
Old citizens here answer you with
grim smile when you ask them whether
jeff Davis will ever arm the slaves
'Why," say they, tive have lived in per-
feet dread of them as it is, and what would
we do if they were armed"
The plain truth is, there are not three
sensible men in Georgia but know that the
day the South arms her slaves the rebel
lion is at an end. And this is not all; it
will be the bloodiest termination that ever
rebellion had in any country. Let him
who doubts this, talk little while with
the negroes who have come from the best
regulated plantations. No matter how
ignorant they are in all other things, they
are posted on the ''main question" They
have it firmly fixed in their heads that the
North is on their side, and all the eloquence
of rebeldom will never be able to dislodge
that idea.
In the entire march through this State,
wherever our army has touched, the ne
groes were always found to be posted
And right in the heart of Georgia there is
wide spread organization among the
slaves, which only lacks efficiency because
it lacks arms. We're it proper to do so,
could give the names of towns in which
companies are formed and drilling at
every opportunity. All they ask is arms.
Citizens here tell me that after our army
had arrived before Savannah, even while
Hardee was here, the people went TO bed
every night in dread lestthe negroes should
rise. This is one of the reasons why our
army has net with such cordial reception.
The people now feel safe, not only because
they think Sherman is sufficiently power
full to protect them, but also because they
know the negroes are now satisfied, being
with those whom they regard as their
friends and deliyereYs.

raE nTsnTrs oF RE1NToN.

There has been new discovery of
America. The country has found cut It's
strength. Before the war this vast nation
lay stretched along the continent undefended
by forts, or navies, without an army, with
millions of brave men, but with only few
thousands of soldiers. Commerce, agri-
culture, manufactures, invention, educs-
ton, engrossed all its energies; to war It
gave no thought. England and France
We're rivals in the creation of navies but
the safety of American commerce was
trusted to the comfy of nations. America
was giant without arInor, and in a strug-
gle with other Powers brute strength must
at first have poorly supplied the want of
discipline and armament. Yet the nation
was radically war-Iike, having the pride
and spirit that belong to youth and might.
The rebellion has changed IT. -Four years
of war have equipped America from head
to foot in armor, have placed new and ter
rible weapons IN her hand, and made her
appear to the world like new Rome. or
like France in the great days of the first
Napolean.
But the immense forces raised in the
North and South are marshalled against
each other; the great forts are defended by
Americans against Americans; the Amer
can navy blockades American coast;
American pirates prey upon American
merchantmen; American cities are be-
sieged by American armies, and every
battle that is fought is at once a victory
and defeat to Americans. And all this,
for what To divide the greatness Of the
continent, and place two rival American
nations side by side, with an imaginary
bounty hne, with perpetual eauseof quarrel,
and to the PLAIN advantage of Europe
Sooner or later this struggle must end; we
believe it can only end in the acknowledge
ment by all Americans of the Government
of the United States when this is done,
and the armies of the North and South are
marshaled under one flag, then the results
of reunion will arouse the fear and admira-
ton of the world.-Philddelpkia Press.

Cherish the little girls, dimpled darlings, who

eat the sugar, and are themselves the sugar and
salt of lifel Let them dress and undress their
doll babies to their hearts content, and don't
tell them Tom Thumb and Red Riding Hood
are fiction, but leave them alone till they find it
out which they will too soon. Answer all the
funny questions they ask, and don't make fun
OF their baby theology; and when you must
whip them, do it so that if you should remem-
Der it. it would not be with tears, for great
many little girls loose their hold suddenly be-
fore the doors from which they have escaped is

Earnest efforts are about TO be made in Spain
for the abolition of Slavery in her colonies. In
Madrid an anti-Slavery society has been form
ed under the designation of Ea SOcieddd Abo-
lciOIaiSta Espo1alO, consisting of men of all po-
litical parties, who have adopted as their funda-
mental rule that politics shall not be brought
into any of their discussions but that the great
question shall be treated upon the broad basis
OF humanity, justice and religion. The society
has appointed committee to inquire into the
results of emancipation wherever it has been
carried into effect, and to report upon the best
means of abolishing Slavery in the Spanish
colonies. From Cuba we learn that an anti
Slavery sentiment is rapidly spreading among
the native population. A considerable num-
Der of newspapers advocate emancipation, the
probability of which is improving from day to
day-Nelo POrE Tribune.

uNRAYELING.

A man coming home late one night, a
little more than ''half-seas over" feeling
thirsty, procured glass of water and
drank it. In doing so he swallowed a
small ball of silk that lay in the bottom Of
the tumbler, the end catching in ms teeth.
Feeling something in his mouth, and not
knowing what it was, he began pulling at
the end, and the little bah unrolling, he
soon had several feet IN his hand, and still
no end apparently. Terrified, he shouted
at the top of his voice, ''Wife wife l say,
wife, come here! ! am unraveling!"

The following little fable contains good deal
of wisdom; and editors, clergymen-indeed, all
classes in society-will do well to remember it,
and govern themselves accordingly: A skunk
once challenged lion to single combat. The
lion promptly declined the honor of such a
meeting; "How," said the skunk, @are you
afraid?" "Very much so" quoth the lion, 'for
you would only gain fame by having the honor
to fight lion, while every one who met me for
month to come would know that / had been
in company with askunk,"

AREMARKABLE PRoPHEcY.

Not long ago was found at Toledo, in
Spain, in monastery, paper containing
the following prophecy:
'1n the far West beyond the ocean will
rise nation which will be great in power
and wealth; and Satan, in one of his walks
to and fro on the earth will observe this
nation, and, determined to destroy their
happiness, will there send two monsters,
one to the North and the other to the
South, and he will give them rawberries,
and they will eat them; and, after thew
have eaten, they will feel a great thirst,
not to be quenched with anything else but
blood. They will, therefore, cause the
brother to slay the brother, the father to
slay the son, and the son the father, and
they will drink the blood of the slain, and
it will bring lamentation and wailing
throughout the land. And, when the
time is fulfilled, there will rise strong
man IN the North who viii take the mons
ters and bind them and draw them into
the sea, where it is the deepest, and peace
and happiness will again prevail through
out, and the people will praise the Lord"
1t is said the monks in said monastery
maintain that this prophecy was written
before the discovery of America by.
Christopher Columbus; that Ferdinand
and Isabella were, in the main, induced by
it to fit out the ship for Columbus, and
that the first part of it too is fulfilled in.
America, and that the other part soon will
come to pass.
