THETERRITORY OF IMYONEENC.

The Territory of Wyoming, recently es-
tablished by act of Congress, is to be ex-
plOred BY a corps Of geological experts.
Their labors are to extend along the line
of the Union and Pacific railroad, from
Cheyenne City, in, the new Territory, across
the Laramie Plains, as far west as Green
river, In the direction of Fort Bridger,
along the eastern slope of the Rocky Noun
tains, southwark to the Arkansas river,
The field service is restricted to six months,
in view of the limited means available for
the service. The officers engaged will
make preliminary reports, in order that
the commissioner may avail himself of the
information in regard 10 the resources of
that part Of the country, and present the
results to Congress in the next annual re-
port. The boundaries of the new Terri
tory, on the south and north, are the forty
first and forty-ffth degrees of north lati-
tude; on the east and west, the twenty
seventh and lhirty-fourth degrees ofIon-
gitude, numbered from Washington, or the
one hundred and second and one hundred
and ninth degrees, numbered from Green
wich. The erection of the new Territory
with these boundaries reduces the terrific
rial area of Nebraska by cutting off from
its western end two degrees of longitude.
Wyoming presents pleasing variety in
its typographical formation. 1t has noun
tain ridges, aud at the same time large
proportion of broad and rich valleys and
plains admirably adapted for grazing and
agricultural purposes. The Laramie Plains
and the Platte Valley cannot be exeelIed.
There are other locations of equal promise,
while the hills are clothed with forests of
valuable timber, and filled with equally
valuable deposits of coal, iron, gypsum,
marble and gold. The Territory is well
watered the northern halfby tributaries
of the Missouri and Yellowstone; the
southern half by tributaries of the Platte.
The latter is the principal river, and near
its banks, as well as on the line of the
Pacific railway, the first and most impor-
tant settlement will be made. The capital
of the embryo State win probably be loca-
ted, ultimately, at Fort Laramie. From
that place to Cheyenne, railway will be
constructed at an early day. From this
description it can be seen that Wyoming
will offer superior inducements TO hardy,
industrious men, and will, no doubt, be
rapidly populated. westward the Star
of Empire takes its way"
