q VALUE OF GRASS sLAND.-Thei time
has not yet come when farmers appre-l
ciate as they should the yelue of grass
Every year dairy products are beeom
ing dearer because the grass region is
limited, and only alfew years will be
required to give any farm natural for
grass, a value which now would be
thought excessive. Tic wished to buy
farm for my posterity, which would
continually increase IN value. GER
tainly should choose it in the region
of grass.saFor do know that during
the; course of one life, a grass farm
will bring more money and with less
work than any other farm, whether on
the Scotia. the w abash, or the Missis-
sippi bottoms, nor can a farm of equal
value be selected and made anywhere
within the belt formed by the topics,

A GENERAL Row.-0n Monday oven

ence of liquor, carrying an iron poker,
which was considerably bent in hard

used it efficiently in selt.defensc. He
desired that the police should arrest the
men that he had failed to kill all Of

other men had got into q fight over the

man, cleaned out his antagonists aud
put them to fight. They all left the

up. Cox was incensed at this, and re-
turning broke open the door, beat Mrs.
Stickmau, and demolished the furniture
and fixings Of the establishment. Such

THE SOUTHERN 8 r.

We copy the following briefsketsh Of

tween California and Arizoaa, md upon
which Fort Yuma is located, ftom tip
correspondence Of the Philadelphia
Press, written, We suppose, by one of
the corps Of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road surveyors, now in that region:
The DEsERr.-Next morning, riding back
to Sacramento Springs l had my first view OF
the California Desert. Il did not mect my
expectations, for in the FIRST place Il was not
level, but q plain undulating towards the
river, and dotted every ten miles or less with
isolated fantastic. shaped hills, belonging TO
no range, and looking very much out oforder
and place. The desert 10 covered with q
coarse sand and angular volcanic pebbles.
II il destitute Of useful vegetation, still many
yaristies Of yucca grow on every hand. with
the Turk's.head cactus aud creosotc bushes
in such abundance rs to shut out wholly the
grayeIly surface a short distance off. The
| whole country Is cut by dry stresm-beds or
"washes," in which water flows for a few
hours after every rain-storm. From Priste
| Springs ono Of these washes leads southeast
for twenty miles, to the Sacramento Springs,
and then passes between two hills to The
| river, ten miles further cast. Tho banks, OF
rather edges Of the washes, arc covered with
mezquit trees, which make good fuel, as in.
deed do the yucca and several varieties oil
cereus. Sacramento Springs have no flow.
ing water, but by digging, a sufficient supply,
said to be permanent, was procured for our
selves and animnls. The weather is much
colder on the desert than on the river, and
an overcoat 10 necessary in tho evening.

Coed Evolving from Xvii.

When tho Central Pauiic Railroad
Company, through their friends in the
Legislature, managed to defeat the bill
for the reasonable reduction Of fares and
freights on their road, they imagined
tho matter put to rest and their extor-
lions protected for At least two, years
more. They were badly deceived. Leg
islatures may succumb to improper in-
flusncss, but m appeal lies in such
cases from the representatives to the
people whose trust and confidence have
been abused. In this case the appeal
has been promptly taken, and the bust
ness men Of some Of ~the"counties most
deeply ~eoncsrncd in tho pauer, whose
almost unanimous petitions were disre.
garded BY tho Legislature, at the To-
stance Of tho Company, have decided to
punish the railroad men by withdraw
ing all their patronage The meeting

ness men and merchants OF Nevada

Of the railroad e~ndeavored to show be-
fore the Senate Committee, that the
extraordinary running expenses of the.
road will not admit Of cheaper rates,

A. II. STEPHENS on ruE Power or THE
PREsIpENr.-An Eastern exchange says:
A correspondent, who has been reading
Mr.. Greely's History, has discovered tho
following paragraph in a speech of Hon.
A. II. stephens, made November sth,
1860. He thinks the present n good
time to quote it: "The President Of the
United States is no emperor-no dicts-
tor he is clothed with no absolute
power. He u do nothing unless he is
backed by the power Of Congress. Mr..
Lincoln cannot appoint an officer with
out the consent of the Senate; he can
not form a Cabinet without the same
consent. He will be in the condition Of
George H., who had TO ask Wings to
appoint his Ministers, and was COM
PEELED to receive a Cabinet utterly OPP
posed to his views. And so Mr.. hin
coin will have to ask Of the Senate to
choose for him a Cabinet, if the Democ-
racy Of that body choose to put him on
such terms. He will have to do this,
or let tho Government stop, should the
Democracy so determine"

AS follows: Cup to the ?lst ult. was

ident LETT no alternative, and rejoice at
the uaanimity of our friends in the
House. 1t is a perfectly clear case. l
cannot see q single place for doubt rs to
the illegality Of Thonas' appointment,
even if there was room for it GA tue
question of Stsnton's removal; but to
me that seems equally clear, inasmuch
as the Senate was in session. hope
tho Republican Senators will be equally
unanimous in convicting. Conviction
will restore peace and quiet to the
whole country, give confidence to cap
italists and business men, aud insure a
return of prosperity, and at the same
time strengthen US as u party. An &C
quittal would be the signal for fresh
outbreaks in every part of the rebel
States, and by prolonging tho dead lock
would be. disastrous to every kind oil
business ; the uncertainties of the fu.
ture would frightsn capitalists and
check commerce, manufactures, and ev-
cry kind Of business /; at the same time
it would render the result Of the fall
elections extremely doubtful. | hope
there may be no ainching on tue part oil

the trial may be FASTENED rs rapidly as
possible, consistent with a due regard
