MORGAN HoRsEs.-A meeting of gen.
tlemen was held at White River juno
ton, on September 18th, to discuss
the question whether it is expedient
to allow the race of Morgan horses to
become extinct. The chair was occu-
pied by Hon. j. w. Colburn, of Spring
field, Vermont. Hon. John Gregory,
of Mortified, read an able and interest
ing paper on the subject, abiding to
the great value and need of the horse
under discussion, and expressing his
fear that the race would become ex-
tinct. The question was decided
strongly in the negative.

Territorial Election,

The Territorial election in Idaho
occurred on Monday, August l4th, and
resulted in favor of the Democratic
party, who will have a majority in
the new Legislature. Ada county,
including Boise City, 1.-THE Territorial
capital,) gave 200 Democratic MAORI
ty-5ll to $40. Idaho City went
heavily the same way. The Boise
City Statesman says all manner of vii
lany will now be attempted to effect
the removal of the capital to Idaho
City, and that although this may not
be done except by vote of the people,
it is boosted that the Legislature shall
be adjourned to Idaho City on'the
first opportunity after its organization.
There are mutterings for a vigilance
committee at Idaho City, and indeed
some demonstrations were being made
at last accounts to clean out the Jail
and hang its inmates. The District
Attorney stated in a murder trial, that
there had been, since the organization
of Boise county, some sixty deaths by
violence within it's limits, and yet not
single conviction for murder in the
first degree had ever taken place.
From forty to fifty emigrant teams
continue to pass through Boise City
daily, bound for Oregon. Nearly
every team hauls a large family of
children. They come from Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Illinois and Wisconsin.

DEATH OF MADAME KossUTH.-The
wife of Governor Kossuth, the illus
trious Hungarian patriot, died on Sept.
LIST, at Turin, of the illness from which
she has been suffering for years. On
account of her failing health, her hus-
band several years ago, repaired with
her to Italy, where she has since been
cared for by him with the most exem-
plary devotion. Madame Kossuth, at
the time of her death, was SIS years
old. Her remains we're to be conveyed
to Genoa for interment by the side of
her only daughter, who died few
years ago. Kossuth has, during the
last few years lost several Of his near
est relations, and the death of his wife
leaves him nearly alone.

run over the course unchallenged. He
formally abandoned his citizenship Of
Massachusetts in 1860, to reside in H.

posed to be Senator from Louisiana,
or some other big thing, and being
beaten all around, he goes home to
Waltham to run for Congress.

There is firm determination among
the residents of several North Nilsson.
ri counties. says the st. Joseph Herald,
not TO allow returned bushwhackcrs to
live in peace. The proceeding is open
and above board. Resolutions to that
effect having been adopted, the obnox.
ious parties are duly notified tina,
their room is more acceptable than
their company. There is a steady
movement of returned rebels to other
States. Rebel officers are seldom
found 10 the interior and but few are
coDgregated now in St. Joseph. The
individuals arc not allowed to enjoy
the proceeds of robbery and murder
practiced on Missourisns in that State,
but must go elsewhere. The authori.
ties are comparatively powerless, and
the parties who warn rebels to quit,
manage their business so quietly that
they are never discovered.

You will find, to confirm this, that
they have sold more Reapers and

WHAT BONNET For the past few
weeks there has been a spirited con-
test between the advocates of the
Fanchion and Empire bonnets (; but
now that the "grand opening" has
come, with its display of designs in
velvets, satins, feathers, flowers, arti-
fetal birds and gilt ornaments, it is
decided that the Empire has come of
victor, and will be the bonnet of
autumn and winter. The Empire hat,
made in the extreme of fashion, with
its raised crown, after the style which
prevailed more than half a century
ago, attracts much attention but
there is evidence that it is by no
means favorite of youthful prone
naders, for they turn away with a
look that indicates, AZ won't wear it."
1t must be admitted the Empire is
rather too matronly for the girl of
eighteen.

worth Of sheep destroyed by dogs and
wolves in the State during the past
year. A tax Of two dollars per head

Gen. Robert e. Lee.

Montgomery Blair has published a
letter with the heading: "The Rebel.
lion. Where the Guilt Lies. This
subject further considered, and the an
swers Of Mr.. Holt for himself, and of
Messrs. Seward and Stanton, by Mr..
Weed and Gen. Meigs, to his Clarks-
vile speech, reviewed by Hon. Mont
geometry Blair" In the course of this
letter he mentions the following Cir
cumstances. LET me observe here !:
1t was the fall of Sumter that pro-
duced on the instant the ordinance of
secession had filled Virginia with
troops from the Gulf States to carry it
before the people. Its effect upon or
binary men may be conceived by the
influence it exerted over Gen. Lee. My
father was authorized by the President
and Mr.. Cameron, Secretary of War,
to converse with Gen. Lee and ascer-
tain whether he would accept the COM
mand of our army in the field. The
latter was written for, and he met my
father at my house, where they con-
versed for an hour or more. 1t was a
few days before the ordinance was
passed. Gen. Lee concluded the con-
versation by saying secession was an
archy, and added if he owned the four
millions of slaves in the South he
would cheerfully sacrifice them to the
Union I; but he did not know how he
could draw his sword on his native
State. He said he would see General
Scott on the subject before he decided.
A committee from the Virginia Conven-
ton, while the General and his father
conversed, were hunting for him
through the city. They met on his
leaving the house. He repaired with
them to consult with the convention,
as have since learned, about some
mode of settlement. The fall of Sum-
ter settled the question for him and
the convention"
