AK 1MPORTANT FRANcHIsE.-The late Legisla.
ture granted q franchise to Mr.. !. w. knight, one
of the Representatives Of Boise county, which was
approved by the Governor, of very importa mt
character. It was to grant to him for fifteen years
thcright to build bridges and collect tolls for the
same over the two forks Of Owyhee river, on a
OewIy discovered route between Owyhee and
Hunters Station, on the Hill Beachey stage road.
BY this route clear saving of ninety miles cir
cuItous traveIsis made between Silver City and
Hunters Station, and the journey can therefore
be made inone day less time to and from Cali
fornia. The new route is through better country
ia every way than the one now travelled, and as
soon as Mr.. Knight builds his bridges ever the
Forks Of the Owyhee, about mile and half
apart, the stages and all the travel are very sure
t0take that route. The new road leaves the old
ct Halls Ranch, makes adirect course across the
country, southerly, to the Forks of the 0wyhee,
aud intersects the old road at Antelope Springs.
sketch Of the lines traced by the old and new
routes has been shown us by Mr.. knight, and a
glance will at once suffice to show the great adj
vantage in point Of distance in the latter. It is
readily described by tracing the rim OF circle,
to representa- the old route, and then by straight
diametrical shoot across it, to represent the new
route. We are glad that so worthy q gentler
has obtained 90 !. sluahle q franchise. y

Starvation in Georgia.

DR.. N. NJ. Cook, a reputable citizen Of
Marietta, Ca, gives the Southern Famine
Relief Commission distressing account Of
the suffering from want Of food in Northern
Georgia. Many of the people have no bread
and nothing to buy it with. Dealers in corn
and bacon will not sell either without the
cash to pay for it, and money in small sums
cannot be procured short of five per cent a
month on the best security. He testifes
that in one family, near Dalton, four children
actually died Of starvation in February. He
believes that others have died in the same
way, and that more must perish unless relief
be given them. Men, women and children
come into Marietta and beg in a state of
emaciation from lack Of food.

GREAT BATTLE YESTERDAY.
Defeat OF Generals Slocum and
Blair.

To partially reward two gallant officers Of
the Union army, and at the same time to
dignity the politics of the country, The
President recently nominated to the Senate
Of the United States" Maj. Gen. SLocUM
for Naval Officer Of New York, and Mai.
Gen. BLAIR for Minister Resident to Austria.
The names of these two gentlemen are
household words. While SLocuM was fght-
ing in all the battles in which the Army Of
the Potomac" was engaged, up to and in
elusive Of Charlottesville, BLAIR was en-
gagged in the West in the various conflicts
that occurred until GRANT assumed COM
mand as General-in-C Chief, when SLocuN and
BLAIR were brought together and we're found
marching under SHERMAN from Chattanooga
to Atlanta and from Atlanta to the sea.
The wonders they contributed to perform
for the nation cannot be calculated. The
poor boon offered them by the Chief Execu-
tive Of the nation as q slight tribute of ma
tional gratitude for the great service they
rendered has been treated contemptuously
by the Senate of the United States. Yester-
day that body rejected both for the Offices
named above.
No comment Of ours can do justice to the
indignation that this action will excite among
the people. The gallant men who fought
