New 'rerritOrIal and state BouudarIe..

Forsone time pastthe Oregon papers have been
discussing the s0hjset of q change 10 that State.
ds'aching the portion EAst ofthe Cascade range
Of mountains, aud taking In lieu thereof the Pu-
ger Sound distficr, and all Of Washington Ter
niory west Of the Cascades. OF late the Walla
HIle SiatsslGH has come out with lengthy ar
uele hsoring the project, and giving its reasons.
Much that is saidcoucernfng the dissimiIarity of
interest between the regions east and west of the
CASCADES Is true,and should command attention.
Much that is said about the difficulty of getting
delegates 70 the Legislature, is also true but
VIII 10 measure be remedied by the biennial
session arrahgemest. The beautiful Territory
leat Yonld be formed east Of the mountains out
OF OregonSH ashington. &c., with WAllA Walla
as me capital, is not too highly eolored. But
that tue interests of0regon and the Puget Sound
portion OF Washington Territory are 81, similar
as assumed, needs large qualification. There
IS scarcely any ahiIity whatever The inueuao
also that office holders only will OPPOSE the
movement, must be taken at large discount.
We have taken some pains to ascertain the feel
ings Of the "dear people, ~ en- this subject. and
have found none who favor it, It would no doubt
be very desirable TO the Willamette people; but
what would be to them pleasure, would be the
reverse here.
If Oregon wishes to divide at the Cascades. so
be it. The western portion will then make a
respectable State in size. If Territory is wish
ed and desirable on the east, let it be formed out
OF portions of Oregon and Idaho, and if needs
bo, portion of Washington Territory; il we
must choose between two evils, we prefer the
least, TO let go the eastern part, and keep our
Territory as it is west Of the mountains. We do
not wish to commit ourself to this policy, but
our hope is so large that we would not fear the
future OF our Territory, even thus reduced in
size+ When the ships carrying the Asiatic COM
merce in great quantities shall enter the noble
waters Of the Sound and discharge their freight,
to be conveyed by rail on east, and the exchange
of the world is made here, Puget Sound will not
be looked upon as trifing concern. Under no
circumstances yet apparent do we feel disposed
to Surrender the honored name Of Washington,
especially to the newly proposed Territory until
her loyalty and unionism shall render her more
worthy to wear it than at present. "By their
fruits shall ye know them. ."-Pdcifc Tribune.

WHAT IS YoUR DAUGHTER THISKING ABOUT -
You are very careful about her dress; you att
tend personally to its purchase and fit. You
60 with her to that her foot is nicely CATERED
aud you give your milliner special Instructions
as to the make and becomingness of her bonnet
but do you ever ask her what she is thinking
about? In other words, do you know anything
at all of her inner life? Many who are esteemed
most excellent mothers are as ignorant on this
all important poirt as if they had never looked
upon their daughter's face. They exact respect
fulobedisnce, and if the young creature yields
it, and has no need of a physicians immediate
services, they consider their duty done. Alas,
what fatal mistaken These are the mothers
who, never having invited the confidence ofthese
yonng hearts, live to see it bestowed anywhere
and everywhere but7in accordance with their
wishes. Is it, canit be enough to a mother wor-
thy the name, to be satisfied that her daughters
physical wants are cared for? What of that
yearning hungry soul, that is about here and
there for something to satisfy its questionings2
OH give thought sometimes to this When
she sits there by the window, musing sit down
by her, and love her thoughts out Of her. Cast
that fatal dignity to the winds which has come
between SO many young creatures and the heart
which they should lie nearets to in these impor,
tant, forming years. Respect is good in its place,
but when it freezes Up your daughters soul-ut-
terauce-when it sends her for sympathy and
companionship to chance guides, what then? A
word loving kind word, at the right moment
no mind can oyer-estimate its importance.
Remember this when you see the sad wrecks of
womanhood about you, and amid the sweeping
waves Of life's cares and life's pleasures, what
ever else you neglect, do not fail to know what
that Young daughter of yours is thinking about

DESTRUCTION OF POPULATION IN THE SoUTH-
A sorrowful illustration of the destruction-of
population by war is afforded in some scanty
returns of a census lately made, but not yet
com Pleteiy reported, in Mississippi. In A coun-
ties, whose population is given, II have fncreas-
ed their white population 10, ,9O6, and 81 coun>
ties decreased II .765. Net decrease in 45 coun-
ties, 6,fS9. In 13 counties there has been an
increase OF 7,T09 blacks, and in 81 counties a
decrease of 53;374 blacks. Net decrease in A
counties AS, ,675. The per centage of white de-
crease is p per cent; that of the blacks l3 per
cent. l6 counties from which we have no re-
turns i had in.ls60, white population of "A, ,762
and black population of s. ,j32. If the de-
crease of population should be similar in the
other counties the number of negroes in the
State would be reduced, in round numbers, from
437, 900 in 1860, to $4,000 aud the white pop
uation from 353, 900 to 345 900, making total
estimated decrease Of population in the State,
during. the last six years, of about 1000 whites
and 81, 900 blacks. f-s.a
The striking disproportion here exhibited be-
tween the decrease of whites and the decrease
of blacks, cannot fail to attract thoughtful
attention The white males were exposed to
the hazards OF war, and the perils of battle.
TIE negroes were exempt from these and subject
only 20 the affections, privations and dissom-
forts of state of war. Yet the blacks exhibit
a decrease six times as great as the whites. The
natural i1erease comes within 6, 900 of atohlng
for the destruction Of war, in the case OF the
whites, while it lacks $1,000 of compromising
for that loss in the ease of the tlacks.-N'

FOURTH EDITION
THE sURRATT TRIAL.
NO VERDICT YET.

WASHINGTON, August 9.-At 1890 o'clock this
morning The surratt jury had not reported
They have now been out forty-seven hours.
Judge Fisher has not yet appeared 1t is now
dfty-nine days, including Sundays, since the
first Juror, Mr.. Todd, was sworn. During the
progress of the trial two hundred and eighty
two witnesses in all we're examined. The prose
cuton first examined seventy-four witnesses in
chief; then ninety-two witnesses were examined
by the defense then the prosecution followed
in the rebuttal, and after examining seventy
three witnesses none Others appearing, the de-
fense was allowed to examine thirteen witnesses
sur rebuttdl, principally in relation to witnesses
whose character had been assailed.
The prosecution, resuming, examined twenty
six witnesses in rebuttal, and testimony closed
with the examination of four witnesses In sur
Tebuttdl. The per diem of the jurors to this
time amounts to $3.50. The jurors are allowed
So per day. Four of them were sworn ffty-nine
days ago, and the others two days afterwards.
The Government is also responsible for the
hotel bill for the jury, but it has not yet been
rendered, and its amount is not known. The
strictly legal fees to witnesses will amount to
500, 900. The bill for carriage-hire amounts to
$3.50. Besides this, it is said that the prosecu-
ton had reserve fund to draw from, and most
of it has already been expended. The crowd in
attendance is not so great this morning as it
has been on previous occasions, and includes no
females
At this hour the rumors and conjectures are
various, but none reliable. Indeed, the jury has
been so carefully guarded that it has been i'm
possible to approach the door of the room near
enough to overhear their deliberations or con-
versations.
At q quarter to IL o'clock it was reported that
a bailiff in attendance upon the jury had been
sent for Judge Fisher, as the jury had some mes
sage to communicate to him. The jury has now
been out over forty-eight hours. The crowd is
again collecting in the court room, aud filing
it up as upon the trial days.
The prisoner was visited at the jail this morn
ing by his brother, Mr.. Isaac surratt. He ls
hopeful and IN good spirits. He has not been
brought IRON the Jail since Wednesday, when
the case was given to the jury. f

From the Springfield 1faSS.) Republican, Aug. 8.
Between $50 and 400 men have now been dis
charged from the Armory, leaving the whole
number still employed 800 or s5O. The first
order from Washington for the Alln altered
breech-loaders directed the commandant to
make $4,000 for trial. These were completed.
and the reports from the army where the guns
had been used being favorable, a second oder
tor $4,000 was given, with Instructions to push
the daily production up to 500 day. The in
structions we're complied with as soon as pos
slble, and about 81, 900 arms of this model had
been completed, when the order, recently pro-
mulgated, came to reduce the production to 200
per day. .Lftt f,.,
quently take about three months to complete
the fifty thousand guns. This number will
equip our present standing army, and it is sup
posed that the Government, acceding to the
stress of unsuccessful inventors and breech-
loader prOpretors in high places, will here
cease its alterations on the Allin plan at least
for the present and until more thorough and
complete trial IN the army shall have made its su.
perlority HnqUeslionable. Three months hence
when the order for fifty thousand breech-loaders
is filed, the force Of employees at the Armorv
according to present indications, will be re-
duced to three or four hundred men, who win
devote their time to repairs on guns and sabres
large numbers of which are now on hand. This
was about the force employed just before the
war. If new and different model of breecb.
loader should be adopted, or there should be =
war-fiurry, the force will be enlarged again as
circumstances demand; but the numbers indi
Gated must be accepted as the usual peace
quota

Rihl, manufacturers of cotton yarns, situated
at Carroll and Huntington streets About $500
