Memorial.
To the Honorable the Senate and House Of
Representatives. Of the United States Of
4m,ricd in Conqress assembled:

To He Honorable the Senate and House Of
Representdtives Of the United States Of
America in Congress assembled:
GESrLExrN-We, your MemorialiSts,
the Members Of the General Assembly
of the State Of Deseret," respectfully
state that our peculiarly isolated posi-
ton, the we'll proven ina~dequacy of a
Territorial organization to meet the
wants of a numerous and rapidly in
creasing population, a disposition to
lessen Government expenditures, and an
earnest desire to enjoy those inherent,
~inalienable and constitutional rights
guaranteed to every American citizen,
have induced the citizens of Utah to un-
animously and constitutionally organize
a State Government, preparatory to
their admission into the Union, as the
estate of Deseret;" wherefore your me-
morialists most respectfully solicit your
Honorable Body to fayorably consider
this our petition, and, at as early a day
as other important duties will permit,
take action, admitting the Estate of
Deseret" into the Union on an equal
footing with the original States. And
as in duty bound your memorialists will
ever pray.
Adopted by the General Assembly of
the estate Of Deseret," on the twenty
second day Of January, A. D. 1867
Deseret Nevs.
Judging Of what is going on at u
State Capital, HDsseret" will merge
into a State before the next 4th Of July;
but it will be known by a different
name.

The DAILY TsEsPAss.-This is the
name Of brother Forbes new paper,
published in Virginia city. 1t is the
size of the late Union-but we under
stand it is to be enlarged and improved
as soon as material a be obtained
from over the mountains, and its time
of publication changed from an after
moor to q morning paper. This will
rather suit US, as one evening paper is
sufficient for this section Of the State.
We might publish a morning paper in
Gold Hill and make more money BY it,
but when we established the NEWS we
commenced 1t as an evening paper, and
as such we have outlived FIVE papers
published in the evening, within the
last three and a half years: the Bulletin,
the Herald, the Old Piute, the Con'ftu-
hon and the Union. As Mr.. Forbes
seems determined 4 fill what he con-
ceiyes to be q vGeuum in the newspaper
business in Storey county, we hope he
will change his TespG'' to a morning
medium. By so doing he will not tres
pass upon our afternoon presumption
rights which we have SO long and so
we'll maintained. But, whether he does
so or not, he certainly has our good
wishes for his financial success.

"THE TRxsPAss." Such is the new
and unique title which Mr.. WI Forbes
has bestowed upon the paper which
has heretofore been known as the Vir-
ginia Union. The new title will attract
attention and provoke comment; but to
be candid, we must say it looks too
much like straining after eccentricity to
suit our notions Of good taste.-Carson
appeal. sr5
You see, brother Forbes is religious
man-(over the left)-and is well &C
quainted with the Lords prayer. Be-
ing an old sinner, he has latterly been
overhauling that good, moral code, and
the only portion that suited him as a
name for his paper was that invoking
passage, "forgiye us our trespasses,
which he abbreviated. "Give us this
day our daily bread" would have been
more appropriate, and if not too late,
we would suggest the change. As &c
centricity is the order Of the day, 1t
might be made with q good grace.

TwrSrY-SrcoSD OF FEBRUARY.-The
approaching ed of February, will be
the i35th Anniversary Of Washington's
Birthday. Judging from the advertise
ments of balls, parties and anniversary
preparations announced in u e1-
change papers in this State, and also in
California, it will be generally observed
and celebrated this year. This is right;
it is proper. It is one Of those good,
old-.ime anniversaries which leads our
minds back into the households and
festive boards Of our forefathers, who
have long since gone to a better world.
Let the old fires of patriotism, which
have q Revolutionary-link still barn in
the breasts Of the children Of a noble
ancestry. And the approaching Ami
versary Of Washington's Birthday is as
good a time to stir up the quick heart
throbs of an afectionate memory as any
time in the dim future.

A UNITED STATES detective has found
S25,O 900 in counterfeit United States
notes, in q tin box, in Warren county,
New Jersey.-EzehGnge.
We always knew there was a great
deal Of bogus in New Jersey. About
twenty years ago, while on a visit to
Camden, a Jerseyman tried to palm a
citron-melon for q watermelon on us
and b. would have succeeded, too, il it
hadn't been for q sharp gal that we had
in charge. She had lived in Jersey.
During the late rebellion, New Jersey
was nothing but a counterfeit in the
American Union-although some Of her
citizens had the old Revolutionary
blood in them in behalf of the Flag.

ODDS AND ENDS.

-
A very interesting case has just been
tried before Judge Baldwin's Court, in
volving the right to q patent for q false
bottom to mill pans. Knox & Palmer
vs.. Mead l. McCone, for damages, and
the defence sets up that the patent is
not a "new invention" The point is
whether the making of a Aange, to be
laid downward, to q false bottom-as
making q steam c~hsmber-is a "new
invention" and as such duly patented
BY Palmer. Defence insists that the
principle" ofthe patent was discovered
or invented years before Mr.. Palmer
fled his eapsat.
Tho principal topic of conversation
among our citizens on the street n in
saloons during the last twenty-four
hours, has been on the annexation ques-
ton. The proposition seems to meet
with almost universal favor. When it
is known that the majority Of the Legis-
lators believe that annexation Of Utah
is the only way to avoid a heavy tax on
bullion, we presume there will be even
moro earnest desire, popular, than is
now expressed, in favor of extending our
boundaries to Colorado.
Treasurer Rhoades was in town yes
terday-on his way to California to bor-
row money for the State. The Governor
has signed the new bond bill, which re-
peals the one that became q law BY the
failure to send the Executive Veto in,
in due Constitutional time. Mr.. Rhoades
thinks he will have no difficulty what
ever in raising the amount desired, I'M
der the terms Of the new bill. So our
Legislators will have greenbacks in a
week or two, and times may be more
lively, on the outside, in Carson, than
now.
The Senate yesterday, under a sus-
pension Of the rules, by an almost
unanimous vote, passed the Annexation
resolution. We are told that there is
no doubt of a similar approval in the
Assembly. The last resolution was
amended, so as to direct the Secretary
of State, instead Of the Governor, to
Immediately telegraph the request to
Washington.
The roads never were better, from Sill
YER City to Carson; and this sort o
weather we are enjoying is rendering
the streets of Virginia passable.

LEARNING AND RELIGION.

Education brings power with it. II
gives authority over nature. 1t gives
authority over men. 1t gives a man a
kingdom within himself, possessions
that can never be taken from him, COM
partnership for his loneliness, and COM
fort for his sorrow. 1t enlarges the
sympathies and views aud thoughts. 1t
lifts men into a new and higher life. 1t
affords a clearer perception Of the truth
and of the relations Of things, which IS
of the greatest advantage to all who are
trying to live to some purpose. The
Church and the School ought to be the
two most efficient agencies working to-
gether for the elevation and blessing OF
the race. These two depend upon each
other for their highest efficiency. Re-
ligion without education degenerates
into superstition and fanaticism. Edu-
cation without religion affords knowl-
edge without wisdom, and increases
power without increasing ~self-control,
but education aud religion afford the
elements of the highest manhood; COM
mand over self and over nature and
an intelligent faith in God. The peo-
pie who afford a Christian education for
their children, have the strongest Sc
curity for free institutions.
1t is the glory Of u land that it is a
land Of schools and churches. The
strength of the nation is in the school
houses and churches, rather than in the
forts and iron-clad ships. And it is not
to be doubted that the nation is indebt'
ed to these agencies, more than to any
other, for its deliverance from the shame
of slavery and the perils Of civil war
Now each Of these agencies, Religion
and Education, has its proper sphere
neither can take the place Of the other
both are absolutely essential. There
can be no perfect manhood and no pure
civilization without them both. And in
regard to one of these, at least, there is
a general appreciation of its value. Al
most all men, in u country, appreciate
the necessity and value of education.
The educated man prizes his culture
more highly than anything beside.
The ignorant man constantly feels his
disadvantage.

The Story Of tho Fourth Of March,. 1855
Where johnson his Brandy.

Where johnson Gothis Brandy.
Warrington Cor. oftho Boston Commercial
The scene on March 4, 1865, when
Andrew Johnson disgraced himself, and
almost degraded the high Office he was
elected to fill, l heard related, without
restraint, by a gentlemen to whom Vice
President Hamlin told it. 1t ran thus
Mr.. Hamlin was in the room known
as the Vice Presidents, about eleven
o'clock, when the Vice President elect
arrived. There was nothing unusual
in his appearance, except that he did
not seem in robust health. The usual
courtesies being exchanged, converse
ton proceeded on ordinary topics for a
few minutes, when Mr.. johnson asked
Mr.. Hamlin if he had any liquor in the
room, stating that he was sick and ner-
yous. He was told there was none, but
it could be sent for. Brandy being in
Dictated, a bottle was brought by one Of
the pages. 1t was opened, a tumbler
provided, and Mr.. johnson poured 1t
about two-thirds full. Mr.. Hamlin said
in telling it, that if Mr.. johnson ordin-
arily took such drinks as that, he must
be able to stand a great deal. After a
few minutes the bottle was placed in
one of the book cases out Of sight.
When heal twelve o'clock, the ser
geant-at-arms, Mr.. Brown, came to the
door, and suggested that the gentlemen
get ready to enter the chamber. Mr..
Hamlin rose, moved to the door near
which the sergesnt-at-arms stood, and
suggested to Mr.. johnson to come also.
The latter got up and walked nearly to
the door, when, turning to Mr.. Hamlin,
he said: excuse me a moment" and
walked back hastily to where the bottle
was deposited. Mr.. Hamlin saw him
take it out, pour as large a quantity as
before into the glass, and drink it down
like water. They then went into the
Senate chamber.
What followed will not soon be for
gotten. The foregoing I believe to be
a correct version of show Andy got
his brandy.p

The soul In vain would fathom-tis o dream

Born oftho bushes Of the Morn In Heaven,
And yet more swiftly passing from the gaze;
A tangled web Of wilderment-a mAze

An age oftorture to the spirit bowed
By want and woe and crime-a history
Whose perfect chapters must bc read by thee
When earthly visions fade before the sight,
On pages radiant with celestial light.

Rniu nj the East.

Along the eastern seaboard they are
computing the amount of rain that has
fallen during what the newspapers term
the wet month of August" The
meteorological record at Springfield,
Mass, shows that rain fell there on
eleven days in August, the whole
amount being 1905 inches, which is a
larger quantity than has fallen in any
one month since August 1856, when the
fall was 1l72 inches. In August, 1866
ihe fall was only 2.s3 inches. The
whole amount of rain and melted snow
which has fallen in the first eight
months of this year is 1886 inches
which is the most for the same month:
since 1850, til. Set,est year for the last
twenty, and Il year when the rainfall
of those eight months reached the ex'
traoldinary height of 1912 inches. Dur
ing the same months in 1868, the
amount was 1888 inches. as much as
falls sometimes in an entire year.

Li.uor Law. and their Advocate.

Negro slavery being dead and buried,
alarge class of agitatOrs are left with
ont a grievance. To be without a
grievance $ in this case to be powerless
and insignificant; to be without a
trumpet to blow a blast upon, is to be
miserable; to have nothing with which
to make noise in the world is to have
nothing worth living for. So they have
taken up the liquor question, and have
resolved TO make all abstain by law.
These people are as intolerant as in
qaisltOrS. They stand upon the funda-
mental principle that even the smallest
quantity of beer, wine or spirits is pois-
OnOus; that TO prevent people from
drinking these pOisons is to prevent
them from self-slaughter, and that such
prevention is IA virtuous act. They al
lese, moreover, that the majority of
men are such fools and slaves to their
appetiteS, that if they are allowed to
lake little of what is not good for
them, they are certain to take too much;
aud that the taking of too much
leads TO idiocy, lunacy, pau
perism and crime. They bring
large army Of indisputable
iactS and incontrovertible arguments to
prove the evils of excess; but they ad-
dnce no facts to show that wine and
beer ard to minor extent, spirituous
liquors, are not, if taken in moderation,
As wholesome and nutritious as bread or

OF wine or other liquors isinjurious; but
these bowling Dervishes see but one
form of the vice which they abhor, and
never admit, or at all events never ar

ding may be equally prejudicial, and

We have repeatedly expressed IA
vorable opinion of potatoes for fatten-
ing stock-an opinion which, though
opposed to the theories of some, we be-
lieve to be based on fact. The follow
ing extract from letter of gentle
man of extensive practice as farmer,
corresponds generally with our own ex-
perience: "Those persons, who are OF
the opinion that potatoes cannot fatten
either hogs or cattle, are very much
mistaken, indeed. / know of no food
would prefer to fatten hogs upon than
cooked potatoes, mixed either with .
little meal or bruised oats, mashed and
