banks, have drank of its waters for
years. and have found it soft, palat-
able, refreshing and wholesome. Sup.

in their business, advertise that these
pure waters were not what the people
wanted, but that unknown waters,
that they had discovered under the
earth, was quite the thing incidentally
or otherwise, for the contented and
healthy people living on the silver
river banks. Would if bring about
the desired boom. and induce the pop

LAND DEPARTMENT..
There were several propositions to
lease considerable quantities of the
school lands, one party wanting as
much as eighty sections, but the mat
ter was laid over for further informa-
tion.
It is reported that the Swede colony
in northwest Texas, have become dis
gIlsted on account of the fence trou-
bIes, and will leave the state for more
quiet quarters.
BOARD OF EDUCATION.
AS the board are evidently disposed
to purchase county bonds to Il consid-
cradle amount, for investment of the
permanent school fund, it has been
suggested that the county authorities
might facilitate the preparation of
them, and save considerable expense
in the way Of engraving and printing
them, by simply issuing them in man.

written bond for the entire amount

the case may be, will probably suit
iile state us well as thirty or fifty
bonds of $1,000 each. rs payments by
the county can easily be credited on
the single obligation. The suggestion
is worthy of consideration.

Home Missions.

The great question which always
presents itself to the mind of any suf-
ferer from disease, with regard to
medicine, is "will it cureI" So if he
wants medicine in his family, for
his child, his horse, or friend the first
question is will it cure?" Now, the
best answer is from those who have
used or tried the remedy, and though
the answer Of one person, or a dozen
may not prove conclusive, yet, the
uniform testimony of thousands in
the affirmative must prove decisive, at
least, so far as human evidence can
make it so. And who is so ably fitted
to take the floor as l.. NJ. Pease, ESQ.,,
of the Howard Mission, New York
city, who says: "The Humphreys
Homeopathic Specifics have for
many, many years proved a great
blessing to the poor children connect
ed with the Mission, as well as many
Of our families who have been treated

proved of great benefit to the parents
in the Mission, as household lini-
ment; for burns and bruises it is eX-
cellent, and for piles thousands have
found it the most efficacious ever
used" Again we hear from Mr..
Frank Fritz, Esq, out in Gold Hill,
Nevada: Enclosed please find orders
for one dozen walls of Specific No. 1.
We live so far from medical aid that l
dare not let myself be without them"

The Pioneer Press mentions rs a
curious result Of the opening OF the

see every day two or three Il loads
of immigrants attached to the

They are mostly Oregon, California

Our Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON. D. C. Dec. 10. 1858
The republican senators held a eau.
Gus yesterday forenoon at which it
was decided not to proceed to the
election of a president pro TEN of the
senate until after the holiday recess.
1t was urged that the precarious o II
dition of senator Anthony's health
made it advisable not to have the
contemplated elections just before a
long recess. A resolution was adopt
ed to retain all the Union soldiers
now on the rolls of the senate. The
democratic senators do not mean to
fight the republican nominees, but
will put up their men to be knocked
down. They will just vote for them
and not attempt any dilatory tactics
to delay organization.
The president has appointed a
board of officers of the army and navy
to consider the question of sending
an expedition to the relief of Lieut..
Greeley and party, and to recommend
to the secretary of wal and secretary
of the navy Jointly, the steps the
board deems advisable to be taken
for the equipment and transportation
of the relief expedition. The board
is composed of the following: Brig
Gen. w. b. HaZen, chief signal Off
Ger; Capt. James A. Green, U. S.
navy; Lieut.. Commander B. III. Nc
Call, U. S. navy; and Capt. Geo. W.
Davis, l4th infantry U. s. army.
| The board will meet at Washinton on
the goth inst. If they ever get Lieut..
Greeley's party home again, it would
be a good idea to give the Arctic re-
gions a long rest. Enough men, mo-
ney and vessels have been sacrificed
in searching for the mythical north
west passage which would be of no
use if it was found.
Quite a sensation was created here
last Saturday by the notorious Lang
try female. She drove up to the cap.
itol in a stylish carriage. She pre-
sented a card to the doorkeeper ofthe
senate gallery and was at once adj
mitted. She had been there but a
few moments when senator 3ayard
was observed to look in her direction,
leave his seat hastily and go out.
He presently reappeared in the seat
beside Mrs. Langtry in the gallery,
and the two appeared to have a very
animated and smiling conversation
for ten minutes. and then went down
to the senate restaurant for lunch
About a thousand capitol loungers
gathered about the numerous doors
of the restaurant to see them eat
The question now agitating the COS
sips is; will the senator throw up hi:
seat and exhibit himself about thu
country as shawl bearer and valet de
chambre, a la Freddie!
