How Soil WAS MADE.-The late Pro-
fessor ASassiz claimed that all the ma
terials of which agricultural progress
depends are decomposed rocks, and
not so much those that underie the
soil, but those on the surface, and
ground to powder by the glaciers. Ice
all over the continent is the agent that
has ground out more soil than all other
agencies put together. The penetra-
ton of water into the rocks, forests,
running water AMI baking suns have
done something, but the glaciers more.
In former age the whole United States
was covered with ice several thousand
feet thick, and the ice moving from
north to south by the attraction of trop-
ical warmth or pressing weight of tile
snow and ice behind, ground the rocks
over which was called soil.
Professor Agassiz made q study in this
country as fur south as Alabama, and
had observed the same phenomenon in
Europe, particularly in Italy, where,
among the Alps, glaciers IRE now in
progress. The stones and rocks ground
and polished by the glaciers can easily
be distinguished from those scratched
by running water. The angular bould-
ers found in meadows and the ter
races of rivers not reached by waters
can be accounted for only in this way.

ACTION OF THE ADMINISTRATION m THE
VrRa1NIUs AFFAIR CENsURED.-A Times
Washington special says the official
admission by this Government Of the
fact that the Tiryinius was not entitled to
carry the American flag, is put out 30
early and suddenly even before the YES
sci is delivered to an American port, as
to excite here in all quarters. very con-
siderable surprise, not unmixed with
disgust, on the positive assertion that
most all the testimony on which she
has been finally convicted has been in
possession of the Government from the
very commencement of the contro-
versy.
The withdrawal of the salute to the
flag, and the probable return of the
vessel to Spain, do not appear here to
supplement very favorably the preten-
tious demands of this Government.
With this knowledge in the possession
of the Administration it is thought to
be little extraordinary that $5,0OO,-
600 should have been spent in putting
the navy on q so-called war footing.
There were Senators and members who
favor calling upon the Administration
for all the facts and documents in
the entire controversy. 1t is declared
that the whole case bears on it's face
evidence of secret understanding
between this Government and that of
Spain.

which was inaugurated, for the first
time in the history of our country, by
the first Legislative Assembly of wy

years. Ihave heretofore taken occasion
to express my views in regard to the
wisdom and justice of this measure
and my conviction that its adoption
had been attended only by good results.
Two years more of observation of the
practical working of the system have
only served to deepen my conviction
that what we in this Territory have
done has been we'll done, and that our
system OF impartial suffrage is IN un-
qualified success.
