Danforth started for Portland last
Sunday from Jacksonville having in
charge the crazy Chinaman who was
adjudged insane by His Honor Judge
Day, says the Jacksonville sentinel.
The State would have been saved some
expense had the celeslials been per-
mitted to have their own way. They
proposed seriously to Kill the poor
Unfortunate wretch, as the cheapest
method of getting rid of the trouble,
but our humane authorities took a
different view of the case.

One of the many errors which time
has dispelled is the old beliefthat cot
ton could not be produced in the south
etn states without slave labor. And
this supposed fact W; : presented a. \
chief proof of slavery. But now the
southern states are producing with
free labor million bales more of cot
ton ayear than they ever did with
slave labor; and when industry shall
have been better organized and the
various social and political disorders
which have disturbed the south shall
have ceased, SO that security and sta
bility may everywhere be felt, the
contrast between the results of free
and of slave labor will become still
more marked. Frcemen cah do any
thing better than slaves, rs the south
has proven already.

\ correspondent of the New York
1ribunc writes to that paper from
Montana
1t is generally believed in this Ter
ritorv and in Idaho that the Utah and
Northern Railroad will be built next
spring down the valley of the Snake
river from some point on the present
line in Idaho, to the Columbia river,
and that the Union Pacific Company
will thus secure an independent line
to the Pacific and enter into direct
competition with the Northern Pacific.
\ party of engineers is now eNamin-
ing the route, and if satisfactory ar
rangements can be made to OBTAIN the
requisite funds the line could be pushed
through very rapidly. Do the people
in the east know that during the pres
ent year no less than three great lines
of railway are being built to connect
the Missouri river with the Pacific
Ocean? In Dakota the Northern Pa
cific Company is pushing its road
west from Bismark. The Atchison
Topeka and Santa Fee road is near the
New Mexico line, if, indeed, it has
not already crossed it, and is aiming
for the Gulf of California. The South
ern Pacific is extending eastward
through Arizona, and, although ii will
be intersected by the Atchison Topeka
and Santa Fe line, each contemplates
II separate road from the Pacific To the
east. five count the Utah and North
ern as "A Pacific line, rs | believe il is
bound to be. the day is not far distant
when the tourist will have the choice
of five routes to California or Oregon.
