"TuE LIFE OF SCHUYLER COLFAx, by the
"Rcv. A. Y Moore, of South Bend, Indiana"
has been issued 10y Peterson & Brothers,
Philadelphia. Mr.. Moore knows how to write
the biography of public man. Instead of fill
ing his pages with trivial incidents and mim-
poItant details, he gives us transcripts of what
he thought aud said on the great questions
which for the last twenty years have cOnvulsed
and divided the country, rs they appear in his
editorials and speeches. Mr.. Colfax's private
life has been blamcless and beneficent but his
time, his heart, and his best efforts have been
given to the cause of Freedom and of Nation
ality throughout the long struggle inaugurated
10y the introduction of the Nebraska bill so
modified as TO repeal the Missouri Restriction
and thence continued down to this hour. His
life is thus part of the civil history of our
country; and as such may be read with profit
10y mltitudes whose interest in the theme is
nowise personal. We wish every young man
in America would read this volume; for its
perusal would strengthen and quicken the love
of Liberty in every heart that now chershes
IT, while it would win thousands from their
idolatry of party names to a love of Truth and
Right.

MONTANA.
glautleIs.

The letter of our Montana correspondent
gives a vivid description of the country passed
on a journey from Virginia City through the
agricultural valleys of the Madison and Gnlahn
Rivers toward the Hot Springs Mining District.
The writer describes the scenes as they ap-
peared in August of last year, but those who
are preparing for Summer excursion
to the Rocky Mountains will find it
full of present interest and suggestion.
1t affords clear impression OF the industrial
attractions. vicisstudes, and dangers of tins re-
markabe region, where farms, in some locall-
ties, have produced so bushels of Winter wheat
and 40 bushels of Spring wheat to the acre,
while flour was worth $40 in gold per 100 lbs,
and where other farms, but few miles distant,
were swept of every green leaf and growing
blade by armies of grasshOppers, that darkened
the heavens for days together in their flight,
or by hocks of crickets, that blackened the
earth for miles, and were equally destructive
Here we find a city built in a few months on
the Missouri, and patiently waiting for the 81
Louis steamers to sail up to it, when 10! the
geographical news comes that navigation Is
stopped by a fall few score or hundred miles
below it, and the city
Folds it, tents like the Arabs,
And silently steals away.
I'm many sections of this new country the farm
cis are miners waiting for success, and here
and there IA farmer is mining until he can To-
cate. Generally, especially in midsummer,
there is strong contrast between the "dl-
"yides" or elevated prairies without timber or
water, parched, and destitute of vegetation,
and the river bottoms or valleys rich with
timber and fruitful farms and pastures. Both
farmers and miners are militia, who regard the
Indians as lawful game all the year round, and
vow eternal war upon them with equal ferocity
and contempt Such are the stirring scenes of
life in the Rocky Mountains. A few hours
ride over the Pacific Railroad transports us to
the life which Capt. John Smith and Miles
Standsh and their followers led two centuries
ago at Plymouth and jamestown. There are
very few among our frontiersmen who mani
fest the courage of William Penn in daring to
bc Kind and Just 10 the weak.

Reports have been received in London from
Japan which announce that twelve of the most
powerful Daimios had formed a combination
against the Mkado and that this new compli-
cation threatened to postpone indefinitely the
restoration of tranquility. This is the same In
formation which, about two weeks ago, reached
us from San Francisco, and appeared in our
issue of the 29th of June. In London they
