The Senate, on the lst inst adopted the
amend ment TO the Appropriation bill which
provides for the examination aud payment
OF claims Of Southern loyalists for quarter
master and commisssry stores furnished the
Union army in the same manner ss similar
claims are now examined aud paid which
originated Ia the Northern states aud in West
Virginia Tennessee. 1t Is now stated that
the amount that will be paid under this
provision, II IT becomes a law, will not prob
aoly exceed one million dollars, the aggre-
gate OF such claims being much less than is
generally supposed. In the House, the
Senate bill granting lands TO aid in the con-
struction of a railroad from the Western
boundary of Minnesota to the Red River
district of British America was adopted
The Indian Appropriation bill was passed
as reported by the Conference Committee.
Among lis provisions is one that hereafter
no treaties shall be made with Indian tribes.
The Senate, on tie 2ud, after an ineffec-
tual attempt to ger up the Southern Pacfc
Railroad proceeded TO consider the civil ap-
preparation bill 10 the House, the bill
providing for the payment of the claims of
loyal citizens Of the South for stores or
supplies taken for the use Of the Federal
army was passed This bill is of interest to
many residents of the counties in this i'm
mediate section of the State.
In the Senate, on the 3rd, the Southern
Pacific railroad bill was ssed. Itprovides
for line from III Paso to San Diego, with
branches to New Orleans and San Francisco,
and grants about sixteen million acres of
public lands, which are in addition to the
land grant given by the State of Texas to
the road. There is no moneyed subsidy,
and the road is required to be built of Amer
lean iron. The land grant is about ten
millions Of acres less than the original Sen
ate bill provided. The House also passed
the bill, and it has been approved by the
President. Both houses will remain in
session all of the night, but are deyoting
most of their time to the items of the appro-
priation bills.
E1- Both Houses, after passing all the
appropriation bills, adjourned at noon, on
Saturday last.
The forty .secnnd Congress organized on
that day and Immediately thereafter, both
the House and Senate ad journed over un-

largest supply of valuable timber in the
central part of the Union with a soil that
yields ample returns for the active labor of
the farmer, with almost unsurpassed advan-
tages for grazing and raising stock Of all
kinds, and with genial climate, the State
must take no mean rank among her sisters
OF the Union. The increased facilities for
travelling of the present day have greatly
stimulated emigration. People readily a

with the hope of improving their condition
in life. Europe annually sends to our
shores thousands of their people, whose la
Dor and skill so largely contribute to the
national wealth, and yet how small pro-
portion of them come among us. Let US
invite a portion of this emigration to come
to us, and 90 on with US in laying the fouu-
dation of prosperous State. But to do
this we must make it appear to them that
il will be TO their interest to settle among
