OF the Geological Survey Of the Territories,
recently made statement that there is COM
paratively q small area only OF available

statement has been frequently controverted.
Major Powell IS preparing for Congress, at
the direction OF the Committee on Public
Lands, an accurate statement OF this qucs-
ton. The results Of his survey will attract
general attention. He divides the United
States into three regions with respect to
agriculture. In the arabic portion, which
includes the country east OF line drawn
from the eastern point Of Lake Superior 10
the Gulf, the United States owns no land.
In the belt OF the country, $50 miles In
width. from Canada to the Gull, adjoining
that on the west, the United States owns r
considerable quantity OF land, which may
be cultivated by irrigation. West OF that
Is the immense arid belt, extending from
the Rocky Mountains into Eastern Caliior-
MIA. Only two percent. OF this land can be
cultivated, and Of this two per cent. one
per cent. has already been taken up. Major
Powell is preparing land atlas OF the en-

The following preamble and resolution
was adopted:
Whereas the aim and object Of this move
mcnt of the workingmen OF the State OF

Gus ways through the press and by several
pronounced politicians and whereas the
prosperity OF the workingmcn means the

ialists; and whereas the Republican,, and
Democratic, and Reform parties having
failed in the past to secure this result, they
have thus lost tie confidence OF the work
ing people; therefore
Resoh'cd, That we hereby declare our
selves Independent OF all past political affili-
atoms; that we will not accept or entertain
any propositions from any political party
looking towards compromise or endorse
ment OF their candidates.

was on his way to this city, he was Waylaid
by some unknown parties and murdered.
His little son was with him, at whom scve-
raj shots were fired, the ball taking effect in
the breast. There arc several coniccturcs
as to the cause Of the attack. The most
plausible j. that, as about the close OF the
late war Cunningham waylaid and killed
some rebel soldiers that were returning
home. perhaps his death is the end OF the
horrible tragedy. Cunningham was Dep
