BEAR RIVER IRRIGATION COMPANY.
The Corinne Reporter referring to
the Congressional effort for legisla-
ton to develope the Bear River Val
ley, Utah, says:
Prom Mr.. Adam Aulbach, for
merlv of this city, and nova resident
of Washington. we learn some very
interesting facts relative to home
affairs. which have not come by
telegraph. He says that on the llth
instant, Senator Nve, of Nevada, IN
troduced a bill intothe Senate which
provides for the irrigation of Bear
River Valley, III Utah Territory,
which bill was referred to the Com
mittee on Public Lands, where it
will remain a short time, and then
be reported back, with some sugges-
tons as the committee may deem
proper to make in the premises.
There are gentlemen of great energy
and no small political influence now
in Washington engineering the nee
essary legislation whereby this mag
nitcent plain is to be reclaimed, and
made useful to man. We may say
here that it is fortunate for the
measure that Mr.. Aulbach is also at
the capital, for he is a busy worker
and willing to devote some time to
the subject. Congressman from the
Western States are generally in favor
of the provisions of the Nye bill, and
we hope soon to be able to announce
its passage through both houses OF
Congress. After that, with natures
continued blessings, the golden har-
vests of these new fields will, within
a few years take the place of the arid
useless waste

SCHENCK AND GRANT. - General
Schenck, Minister to England, was
once interviewed by a correspond
ent of the Buffalo Courier, when, 1t
is alleged, he expressed the follow
ing opinion of the immaculate pat
riot and wise statesman who now oc-
cupies the executive mansion at
Washington. Schenck is reported
to have said:
He never in his life met with
any person who had had the advan-
Itaee of association with well-in-
Informed people who was so grossly
ignorant upon every subject that an
ordinarily Intelligent citizen ought
TO understand as General Grant,
and that morally and intellectually
he was below any man whom he had
ever known in public life that
"Grants ruling passions were envy,
hatred and a~verice; that he would
never forgive any person who spoke
slichtinglv of himself. or who
praised u rival, unlesss the offender
would minister to his most iGnoble
passion lavarice) by a present; that
he Grant would accept any present
from any person. from a tenpenny
nail to a hundred thousand dollars.
and that a valuable present would
influence him in the discharge OF
the most important public duties
and finally, that Grant sought the
Presidency for the money that he
could make out of the position, and
to attain it was ready to avow any
class of opinions dictated to him by
his political trainers"

Tired of Colorado.

We are informed that the vari-
Gus parties, who a twelve month
ago, removed to Colorado are very
anxious to return. They find ex-
penses very high and the winter
climate very severe. Parties remov-
ing to the west seem to forget that
our own country here in the South
is not yet half developed. There
are resources here for ten times
the population we have in Virginia.
If the mania for large farms could
be conquered, and parties could be
brought to see the fact that in mar
ket gardening, this country offers
for men of small means a large
field for profit, there would be more
hope for such States as Virginia
and Tennessee. The fruit business
promises yet to surpass in richness
of yield the gold mining business.
Apples, Peaches, Pears, Potatoes,
Cabbage, Strawberries, &c, will
yield large cash returns, if pursued
Understandings. And men can
make fortune from them by use
ing wisely from five to fifty acres
