AsI SHOULD BE.--A friend in Idaho has
forwarded us copy of the Annual Message
Of the Governor of that Territory (Caleb Ly-

the Message he says in alluding 10 theSouth-

''The destroyers have become the restorers, and
those who were the last in war have been the first
to hail the glorious advent of peace. Each re-
turning State is welcomed with national ioy. each

Caleb Lyon was appointed Governor of
Idaho by President Lincoln in 1864, is a very

OVERLAND ROUTE FROM CALIFoR&IA TO IDAHO
TERRITORY, ETC.-We are informed that a tele-
graphic dispatch received late last night from
the East, stating that stock company had been
organized in New York and Baltimore, with a
capital of $500 900, for the purpose Of opening
up practicable mail route from Chico, CAL, to
the Boise Basin, Idaho. Capt. John Mullan, of
Maryland formerly of the U. S. Army, has been
appointed President of the company. If this en-
ergetic gentleman, whose indomitable will and
perseverance are well known and appreciated on
the Pacific coast, should succeed as well in his
"Chico project as he did in the grand undertak-
ing of constructing wagon road from the head
waters of the Columbia to those of the Missouri
river, Ga distance of over 600 miles,) he will re-
etVe the thanks of the people Of this coast. Sue
cess to Capt. Mullan's projects. F. Alta.
We understand from gentleman at Chico,
Cal, that the above is substantially true. If
it is, Capt. Mullan will have an opportunity
to place himself right up here-a chance he
needs.

learn that several members of the Cabinet favor
this bill, among whom is Secretary McCulloch and
Mr.. Harlan. but these gentlemen appear to be no

Shortness Of the Cotton
CrOD.

The Columbus Enquirer states
that the receipts of cotton at three
principal Southern sea-ports for
September, 1866, as compared for
the same month with 1859, show
an aggregate average of not more
than one-twelfth. The following
lis the Enquirer's statemant:.
"Nea0 Orleans.-Receipts of Sep
teniber, 1859, 100000 bales; of
September, 1866, 10,496-only a
little over one-fourteenth the re-
ceipts of 1859.
"lNobile-Receipts of September,
1859, about $4,000 bales (three
days in the early part of the
month estimated J of September,
1856, 3,49S bales-about one
twelfth of the receipts of 1859.
| "Sauannoh. Receipts of Sep
TENDER, 1866, S,4S7 bales-nearly
one-half the receipts of 1852"
The Enquirer further remarks
| that ''all the lines of transporta-
ton that existed in 1859 are now
in operation, and the water COM
munications have been better this
year than then. In addition to
this, there never before was such
a pressure upon planters to sell
their cotton as there has been this
year. If want of money could
hurry the crop forward, that slim
illus has been greater this year
than ever before. The only con-
sideration that might make the
crop later in getting to market
this year than in 1859, is the back
wardness of the crop, but this is a
condition that seriously affects it's
amount, and is another fact sug-
gestive Of very short crop"
We agree with that paper in its
conclusion that "these figures are
proof undeniable Of the great in
correctness of the higher estimates
| of the crop of this year, and of
the greater accuracy of the very
smallest estimates made"

Last spring, says the PrincetoI

Last spring, says the Princeton,
Ind, Democrat, lady Of wealth
and beauty came to this county on
a visit, and invested largely in real
estate, paying cash for the purcha-
ses, She circulated around here
pretty freely and became well ac-
quainted. Last Wednesday she got
to joking with our handsome clerk
and bantered him to give her a
marriage license, at the same time
giving the name of ayoung man re-
siding at Patoka, in this county.
For the ''fun of the thing" the
clerk gave her the license, emitting
of course to attach the county seal.
She then returned to Patoka, and
handed it to the young gentle
man. He perceived that the seal
was missing, but procured the
right kind Of license, and said she
had either to marry him or back
out. So on Thursday last
he came to the clerks Office and
a regular license; and
the young lady too spunky to back
out, stood up with him, and the
twain were made one flesh on
Thursday, and Immediately took
train for Evansville.

Governor, therefore, opened court
at Annapolis for the trial of the
commissioners, which trial, he de-
clared, should be concluded by
Wednesday, 3lst, promising that
he would act at once if the guilt or
innocence of the accused appear
in the interim. The counsel for
the commissioners have concluded
to act accordingly, and we trust
that everything will go on peace
ably and according to law.
These are the plain facts of the

whatever, and they certainly re-
fleet little credit on the law-abi-
ding character of the political or
CARNATIONS which proposed, instead
of an appeal to the courts, an ap-
peal to force, to test the question

less credit on the integrity of the

mand resort to the bullet instead
of the bench to settle dispute as

that several of the farmers in that
