Hitherto the river route has been most tedious and the most perilous of all the highways to the West; but now, 1000 miles of the wosrt river nan - ation is obvuted by the extension of theal ! railroad to Sioux City, and the boa ts of pressJ the new i;DC havipg teen built expre Iv for the Upper Missouri trade, will be ! more pale, speeuy, and comiortaoie.

Here they should go by coach to Salt Lake, exchanging the snow aud desola tion of the mountains for the fruits and flowers of the Mormons, and from there they can go to Montana or Idaho by stage, ppend two months in observation or attending to business, and return by boat from Fort Benton to Sioux City, where they arc connected with the East by railroads. Those who desire to vieit the Rocky Mouutaius only, ebouM not start until August, as September is the most pleasant month of the year for trav eling in the mountains. Those who wish to escape the heat, dust and epidemics of the cities in th heated term, caa now Epcnd the summer months more cheaply, pleasantly and profiably in the mountain regions at Colorado than at any of the Eastern watering places. The finest mineral springs, of every property and temperature, abound in the mountains within easy drives of Denver, and visitors can now be comfortably entertained there. Travelers in the West want to be n cumbered as little as possible. Summer clothing is not wanted. Flannels should always be worn next to the skin, and woollen clothing, stout boots, a good overcoat and a pair of California blankets, are indispensable to comfort, as the aights are always cool, and in the mountains of ten quite cool. Ladies should have good winter clothing, a heavy waterproof cloak, a quilted hood, and as few toilet articles as possible. Stages are usually very much crowded, and surplus luggage is a great nuisaacc to the owner as well as to others. Every tourist crossing the plains should have good fire arms. A brace of revolers with ammunition can be carried with other little articles, in a small leath er traveling-bag, swung from the shoul der by a strap, and thus have the weapon always at hand in case of necessity. Ev ery gentleman should also have a Henry carbine. Not one in fifty may have actual use for them, but if needed they are very handy to have about the coach. Coaches are not often attacked by either Indians or Road Agents (highway robbers), but they may be attacked any day, and it is well to be fully prepared. There will be a regular stampede to the Sweetwater mines this spring. They ""o - can be reached by about 200 miles staging from Cheyenne, and are not over GO miles from the regular overland stage route. Coaches will run to Sweetwater from Sage Creek station (about 12 miles west of the North Platte Crossing, and 20 miles east of Badger Pass), and a two days' ride from the railroad will land the adventurer in the new Eldorado. Many trains will go from CheyenDe to take provisions, goods, machinery, &c., aid most of the mining class will go with them.

Some interesting facts may be gathered from the recent report of the Agricultu ral Bureau with reference to the compara tive acres of farm lands, improved, ' and waste-lands, iu the different States of the Union. For example the Southeren States exhibit an area of three hundred million acres of wild or waste lands, two hundred million acres of farm lands un improved that is, untilled and only about seventy million acres nominally im proved, more than half of which is not in actual cultivation. The extreme west shows nearly the same ratio of improved and unimproved agricultural territory. The number of farms and their size vary curiously in diGerent States, and the relative amqunt of titled and untilled lands are also very different. The largest farms are found in Cali fornia, where the average size of eighteen thousand farms is six hundred and sixty six acres. Massachusetts, with thirty-eight thou sand farms, averages only 94 acres to a farm, being in this respect the most mi nutely divided of all the States iu the Uoien. The largest number of farm3 is found in New York, which had 196,000, averag ing 106 acres, and the next largest in Ohio, which numbers 179,000, averaging 114 acres Nevada, as yet, has only 91 farms, which average 017 acres. The greatest area of wild land is found in Texas, which has no less than one hun dred and twenty-six million acres of this unprofitable territory, to set against less than. three million acres of land iu nomi nal cultivation; and California comes next, with one hundred and twelve mil lion acres of waste, against a little over two millions cultivated. Rhode Island, with little more than three hundred thousand acres of waste territory, has over five thousand farms, averaging 96 acres, besides one hundred and eight thousand acres of farm lands un improved. The total area of "Congress lands" in all the States amount to eight hundred and forty million acres, the total number of farms in cultivation to two million and thirty-four thousand acres, and the aggae gate of average size 'to one hundred and two acres. The above figures are given in round numbers only, but made as near as possible to the exact amounts stated in the report. It will be seen that there is still vast room for agricultural improvement, and that the territory still lying open to cul tivation is sufficient to provide for almost unlimited immigration through very many years to eonic. The term "wild or waste land," used iu the report, is not meant to signify land unfit for farming purposes, but only that which still n propriated, in remains unclosed' and unap- a state of virgin forest, prairie orplain. Some of this is of course, sterile, but verv much of it onlv needs the hand of industry to make it blos som into fruitfulnes3.

You have, there fore, no excuse to present lor not saving it, except that you ate too weak-minded to abstain from using money that is in your power. ' .... Late Potatoes. , Planting for a late crop should take place between the 20th of April and the 10 of May. The earlier period is the best for potatoes that ripen slowly as the vines -have -a ereater advantage Irom spring rains, and by being pushed.for- ward rapidly at that season are more likely to escape the rot. Choose large and well matured tubers, and cut the seta so as to leave two eyes to each. Spriu- kle plaster over them to absorb the mois- ture, and plant at soon after cutting as possible. 1 laut irom teq to twelve j bu'liH ' the cr?. Johnson vs. Johnson. The inconsistencies of Andrew John son are without parallel in the" history of any public man in the United States. In 1861, while a Senator from Tennessee, he uttered the following remarkable lan guage : I meant that the true way to fight the battle was for us to remain here and oc cupy the places assigned to us by the Constitution of the country. Why did I make that statement ? It was because! on the 4th day of March next we shall i have six majority in this body ; and if, as i lDirtJ cents. some apprehend, the incoming adminss-i Taking the body into custody on mit tration shall show any disposition to makej tImus ere bail is afterwards entered encroachments upou the rights of the! beforc the prisoner is delivered to the jaiL- States, or any other violation of the Con-ior stitution, we by remaining in the Union and standing at our places, will have the power to resist all these encroachments, llow ?

Nothing couldie more opposite than his present and his past constructions of the Constitution. - The Bankrupt Law and Who May Take Advantage of It The first of June, 1869, is the time al lowed to those desiring to take advantage of the Bankrupt Law. For the benefit of those who do not fully understand the law, we furnish the following abstract: Who may take advantage of this law ? Any person, or firm, who owes debts to thc amount of three hundred dollars or upward, whether they be individual or partnership debts, or both, and it makes no difference what isthe character of the indebtedness, whether it be by bill, note, account, judgment, as principal, or sure ty, or otherwise. W hat does thc law demand ol the ap plicant? lhat he shall sarrcnuer his property. except such as is hereinafter mentioned, to his creditors, for a pro rata distribu tion among them. hat does the law permit the appli cant to keep 7 First Household and kitchen funiturc and necessaries to the amount of five hun dred dollars. Second The uniform, arms and cqire ment3 of any person who is, or has been a soldier in the militia or the service of the United States. Third If the applicant is the head of a family, his homestead, to the value of five hundred dollars. If he has no home stead, then io lieu thorcof money or oth er personal property, to the value of three hundred dollars. If the applicant has only bo much pro perty as is above enumerated, of course he has nothing to give up to his cicdi tors. Thc result of the benefit of taking this law is a discharge from all indebtedness. In cases where there is no contest, it requires from sixty to ninety days to pro cure this discharge. freelrcss. VTy' A circular has been issued by William E. Dodge, Esq., aud other prom inent and influential friends of the cause,' for a National Temperance Convention, to be held. in Cleveland, Ohio, July 29th, 1868.

An action cannot be perfectly good, un less it is pure in its motives ; that is, un less the motives are virtuous, and free from any mixture of vice. If we commit small faults without re gret to-day, we shall commit greater ones' to-morrow. Pride is the most ridiculous and th: foolish of all vices. In everything we do, however triflings we ought to reflect and reason, otherwise we shall never do anything well. Idleness renders us unfit for every thing. Flattery is more prejudicial than rude ness or anger. We owe the greatest gratitude to those. who tell us the truth. Calumny is the voice of those who hare neither a good heart nor a good under standing. , We ought never to believe ill of any one till we are certain of it. We ought not to say anything that is rude and dis pleasing in joke, and even then we ougUfc not to carry the joke too far. The longer the saw of contention ia. drawn, the hotter it grows. In matters of conscience, first thoughts are best.' In matters of prudence, last thoughts are best. Lying is a vice so very infamous, that the greatest liar cannot bear it io othoc men. Another Cantion. There is a swindling concern in Netr York styling itself "Kelley's G rand North American Gift Concert," which Is send ing out circulars all over thc country similar to the following, which has beerv shown us by oue of our victimized citi zens who received it several weeks since and sent on thc 5 per cent., $7.50 : "Dear Sir- You are hereby uotifioJ that your ticket No, has drawn a prize valued at $1,50. Five per cent. or this will be 7,50. This amount of as sessed per ccutage must in all cases be scot on receipt of this notice with direc tions by what express you wish the prize sent. A. II.
