Nor ALL AGAINST HINT seems that
Holden still has some friends among the old
liners The job of making way with him will
not be so easy as some suppose. We find the
following in the Goldsboro' Tribune:


The STANDARD.-We find the Standard is
ranged among those who, in the present crisis,
are disposed TO "watch and wait" For our
part we do not see what we are to watch and
wait for. But Mr.. Holden is true to the South.
and will be found in place when matters come
to the full purpose and the point.


We see he has began to curry some of his

that service than honest and patriotic

4 great question which has been occupying
the minds Of the statesman and patriots of this
country for years past is the policy of the ac-
QUESTION of territory. 1t is well known
there has been much diversity of opinion on
this interesting question. Some have conten-
ded that we should go acquiring more and
more until this vast continent was ours!
While others, more cautiously inclined, have
insisted that what we have should be improved
and settled up with some prospect of being
early so filled up as to require other acquisi-
tions.


We are pleased to inform our readers that
this great question has been decided to very
considerable extent by William P Moore, ESQ.,,
the efficient landlord at the CASTOR House In
consequence of the great demand for room, for
the accommodation of the increasing patronage
with which he has been blest within the past
year, he has found it absolutely necessary to
extend his territorial domains. He has there
fC re added about dozen neao and comfortable
rooms to his house. which are brought into i'm
med; ate use. The fact is, he treats his board
ers so well, has them attended to so nicely,
and makes his guests feel SO comfortable
while tn ere, that they are apt to call on him
again the uext time they go to Newbern. If you
want to know the news, or if you want to hear
good anecGotc call on "Bill Moore; if he
can't accommodate you no man in Newbern
can. He is one of those kind of men who
neuer allow one to leave his company s'feelin
bad"

The United States Indian Agent for Western Utah,

advancing upon them They were not hostile, and pro-

In the New York Sunday Times Of

endorse. The genuine comforts of e.

know who have been compelled to
ring the changes on g short CAKE" ba-
ker's bread aud biscuits for months in
succession. The writer is evidently a
Yankee from way down East, where
daughters are brought up to assist their
mothers in their household duties ~
well as play on the piano. The Times
says: "Therc. was time and not so
far back as the time Of good neighbors,
when young woman were taught va

BILE they might at some time be able to
do something for themselves and other
people. 1t IS a recorded fact that in
those days Of golden happiness and
virgin simplicity, there was honstrous
little dyspepsia in the world. When
brewers yeast was not to be had, ev-
cry woman knew how to make yeast
cakes or salt rising, and bread was the
staff Of life instead of a sword piercing:
the vitals of miserable men. In those
halcyon days OF the human stomach, the
atrocity of pearl ash, the abomination
of desolation yclept salaratus, andethe
more innocent looking rascality ofsoda
were unknowni,n the world. Men ate


bread and lived. Now good yeast has
gone into exile, and the whole univer-
sal Yankee nation is most rankly ahus-
ed with sodden balls of dough, which
stick under the teeth like SO much putty,
and in every grain Of which may be
seen, yellow, acrid and disgusting, an
other grain of one Of the three chemi-
cal poisons herein before recited. And
thus it is that the good old days when
young ladies of the best families went
as regularly to "cook school," as to
any other school, and bread was not
delusion and a snare, have faded in
the dim distance Of the past. And
thus it is, the whole Yankee nation is
coming to be nation of dyspeptics."

has been made in the time from: Tues

other matter that would materially in

The object of this festival being for the
benevolent purpose Of obtaining means
with which to furnish the New Church

We would urge upon all who feel at all
able to donate something to enrich the
table on that occasion, to "throw in
their mite;" and then not fail to be in
attendance on Wednesday night, that
We may have pleasant and social time
together. The new church is one oi
the neatest and best we have seen in
Kansas, and all desire to see it furnished
with the same neatnessa sand taste in which
the architects and builders have finished
it. We venture the assertion that no
church in the Territory can boast a
more beautiful chandelier than now
hangs in this. and j. is desirable tha,
stand lamps should be procured to
match it. Itis the design Of the Trus-
tees of the Church to have it entirely
finished by the time the Quarterly
meeting will commence. which will be
on the Goth inst. Let the friends lend
their aid to this enterprise. and assist ia
