1t would seem from the above that no
one who actually gave aid and comfort
to, or corresponded with the rebels, with
the intention of aiding their cause, can
conscientiously take the oath required
As in criminal cases the intention is
that which makes guilt SO, in this
matter, if the act done was not intended
to assist in the overthrow of the gov
eminent, the party can take the oath
with clear conscience. Ifany one has
expressed an aoorcls a desire for the sue
cess of the rebel cause, the oath includes
such cases; but if no such open expires
sions have been made it is no impedi-
ment to taking the oath. Consequently
all those questions intended to draw out
the secret desire of the heart, were a.
gainst the express words of the Consti-
tuition and law, and an uncalled for ex-
iercise of inquisitorial powers. We
mean such questions as that so general
ly used-"Were you to see the Federal
and Confederate armies engaged in bat
tie, which would you desire to see gain
the victory?"

lodes are of three classes. The first elias
ores yield from $500 to $4,000 per tun
the second class from 800 to 5000, an.
the third class from $50 to $75 per tun
Of the second and third class of silye,
lodes there is great abundance; of the
first class there are but few, not more
than half a dozen as yet.
The silver ores are much more trust.
worthy than those yielding gold; and ex-
perience has already shown that silver
mining will be in Montana more profit.
able than gold mining. Fhe veins are
more uniform in the yield and last bet
ter.
In proportion to its population the yield
of Montana has been vastly greater than
that of any other Of our gold fields.
The veins of copper ores have been
traced for great extent, and the ores are
found to yield from thirty-three to sixty,
five per cent; but little attention is as vet
given to this metal, as gold and silver mo.
'opolize the attention of the people.

PRESIDENT JOHNSON.

The recent frank and hearty declara.
lions of President Johnson. says a North,
ern exchange paper, have revived the
hopes OF those who had begun almost to
. despair of the Republic. especially in the
South. The latter had, indeed, a good
, cause to feel alarmed at the attitude of a
Jacobin Congress. With large major

ern people had reason to fear that tbev
were to be Invested of all elfgoverno

territories, and their condition made little
better than that of Poland or Hungary.

sipated by the issue which the President
has made with Congress. The Southern
people now have the assurance that the

"Whilst the Pr sident thus orenly tells

What is our duty, what ought we to do,

by the strength ofour arm and the shouts
of our voice, for they are not the weapons S

engaged, but by proving him to be right,

MONTANA.



This new territory contains about 100
ooo square miles; that is to say, It's near.
" four times as large as the State of New
York. 1t is bounded on the west by Ida.
no. on the south and east by Dakotah,
and on the north by the British possess
sions. But what is the use of mentioning
boundaries which are themselves un
known to the average reader, who de.
mands in return: Where is Idaho !?
Where is Dakotah? To those who stud
led geography twenty years age, it will
perhaps be as satisfactory to say. that if
you journey north from Montana, you
come into British America, and if YOU
cross the territory from east to west, YOU
cross the Rocky Mountains, which run
through its western half.
ITS POPULATION AND TOWNS.
In 1861 the vast and regularly organ.
lied territory now known as Montana
was unknown land. 1t was very thinly
peopled with Indians, and it had been
visited by few trappers and missiona.
rles. In 1869 traces Of gold were dis
covered in Montana; and fortune seekers
began to turn their steps that way. In
1865 the territory had already $4,000
people, and contained three considerable
towns-Virginia City, with ten thousand
inhabitants; Helena City. with eight thou
sand, and Diamond City with four thou
'and. Also it had Legislature, code
If laws and courts of justice. s
ITS ACCESSIBILITY. I
one OF the most surprising geograph- t
'al facts about Montana is that it is
cached by steamboat from St. Louis b
hat is to say, the river system of the t,
reat West is on so vast a scale that b
