Eov Aituts: How enn eastern emigrants be induced to come hither? That is an im portant question. Wo must present to them adequate motives for coming to this valley, or they will not come. Generally emigrating farmers visit a new country to get cheap hinds. They arc nsu ally poor men, With families, own their teams, some other stock; and have, perhaps, a few hundred dollars in money. They have health, muscle, and brave hearts, and these are what we want. Let a mini pass through this valley and the impression will be deep upon h's m'nd, that you need a large addition to your in dustrial population. I have said that farming emigrants de sire cheap Kind. All the good land of this valley, with the exception of school lunil and land donated to the State, is taken np. There nro no lands for emigrants at $1 25 per aero. . i .. While this is the Tact, farming emigrants will, to a great extent, pass thin valley by. Indeed, if they come in your neighborhood nt oil, they will stop cost of tho Cascade Mountains, or they will press on to Wash ington Territory. What enn be done? I have heard that it has been suggested to provide by law that emigrants be at liberty to purchase the schnn and Stato lands at $1 25 per acre that they shall have credit upon such purchases of ten years, nt ten per cent, in terest if not paid in three years. I do not see uny conclusive objections to this policy. These lands will not much en hance in value if held under present circum stances. If settled, and improved, great additions will be made to our population, nnd the property of tho whole valley will greatly appreciate. We will get a popu lation here, I think, that will gradually, by purchase, lessen tho lurge nnd cumbrous claims that nre ruinous to public and indi vidual prosperity. '.' . Let it be known to emigrants, ere they leave' tho Missouri, that the school and State lands of this valley nre subject to be entered by them at Congress prices, and that there ure citizens here who will take pleasure in pointing out to them where these lands ero situate, and we may antici pate large accessions to our population. And let me say, in nil sincerity, that ac cessions of population by emigration to this vulley, in my opinion, will not bo great un der the present condition of things. B. Tribute ef Uesiu'ct. At a regular communication of Champo eg Lodge A. F. mid A. M., U.

The likeness of Cobb U a correct one: ' " Mr. Keitt Is one of our decided institu tions here, ami deserves a notice. 1I l a robust and well-built fire-cuter, with a good deal of the upparaiice given to lleury tut! Eighth in certain romantic prints. . Re has a profusion of liair, just begiuuiug to thin in front; nn opeu uud lo.'ty iorvbrad, marked by the sabre scar of an early duel; brown, fiery eyes, set uuder eyebrows which rise and full with every varying emotion; florid cheeks, indicating affection for till the creature comforts of life; and an fluores cent brown chin bcurd, jut commencing to show 'the hour frosts of a fortieth winter. As an orator, Mr. Keitt is of the Southern pyrotechnic kind; but it is his merit that, after a blaze of rockets uud Roman cundh s, his center-piece towanU the closo almost invuriubly reveals an illuminated national shield, with the scroll " E J'luribut I'num" forking out from the beak of a crimson or or orange-tinted engle. Never! In-less, he is discursive nnd almost limitless in Ids advo cacy of Southern rights; vehement uud au dacious in tlie stutcment of constitutional paradoxes; but in heart, it may be said of him, that he Is loyal to tho Union, and that, while his ardent and somewhat exag gerative temper demands the stimulus of iii llammable metaphor, he really means as well to Northern men, and lakes us fuir a vie w or Northern rights, as any member of Congrrss hailing from tlie south of Mnsnn & Dixon's line. He Is a natural talker, nn irrepressible speaker, fluent and fide, on ull subjects, and inclined to remain of his opinion, notwithstanding any arguments or persuasions, coming from what quarter they may. Socially, Its is said to bo a delight ful and courteous compauion, a type-man of Southern hospitality, and a friend who shrinks from none of the responsibilities which mny be necessary tosustrain a fneud in any doubtful or hazardous extremity. Williamson R. W. Cobb, of Alabama, seized the floor nnd delivered an extraordi nary hardshell-Baptist sermon, or that orig inal mid amusing kind fur wh'cli he lung ago obtained a patent. Tho Rev. Mr. Cobb has been for thirteen years a member of the house, anil a pillar of the cruitneeoiis Baptist faith. He is a model man of the typo half horse half oligator, atundiiiir six feet four inches in his broad toed boo's, nnd so thin ns to recull the story of that Western debtor who, when pursued by the Sheriff, crept into his rifle and looked out at his pursuers through the touehhnlc. Iu dress ho is nil over tho Baptist parson black dress coat, black satin waistcoat and heavy gold seal, a yard and a half of thin black trousers, and a stiff black satin cra vat, surmounted by shnrp-pn'nted white shirt collars, nis face resembles that of a death's-head moth the forehead narrow and prominent, tho dark eyos sunk nwny out of sight, the cheek bones hardly cov ered by the tight-drawn nnd sallow skin, the cheeks hollow, tho nose short, ami th? head thickly thatched with a shortish but strong growth of iron-gray hair, divided iu the middle of the forehead. Swaying back ward and forward on his legs, like the long pendulum in the tower of Notre Dame, sus pended there to prove tho rotation of the earth this gaunt and grisly orator swings his arms through tlio nir with a sweeri ns wido and desolating in gesture as if wield iucr the scythe nf time. His voice has the wild sinking and fulling, shouting nnd whis pering, shrieking and muttering of the Western Baptist pulpit. His grammar is a little more uncouth than Ins appearance, and his pronunciation keeps unison with nil the fiintastiu surroundings of his nature. Now and then ho darts forward, thrusting out a long skinnv nrm nnd extended fore finger nt the Republicans wlilc ho asks a question ; then crouching back on his haunches, while tin feigns to bo shocked witli the answer which he hits put into their mouths: "Have yon no other man," he screams to the Republicans "Have you no other mnn but Sherman to fix in that chrer? If you her, nud doan't go to do it, then ynu nre the meanest kind of white men that crawls this oirtli ; for ifyondn put him thnlir, in that cheer, our pcoplc'll lick us out or our boots whet, they get ns houm!" As another reason for organizing, he very frankly ronfesed that he " wanted a little money himself, and thuhr was no siffht for a-gittin' it until tho cheer was filled." Never did a provincial traged'an, obtaining his first chance for fume in a Me tropolitan theatre, so tear a pnsxion to mgs and out-Herod Ilerod in t he way of stormy gesticulation and wild attitudes as did this or.itor of the day. His legs were as bend nblo as a length of hose-pipe; his arms ex tensive and prehensile as if a couple of rat-tle-Hiiakes had been jointed nn nt his shoul ders; arid the hard bones of his fingers rat tled together us he snapped them in tlie faces of the Republicans currying out tlio idea which the curving nnd writhing of his talon-ended arms suggested. ; He was interrupted by Emerson Ether idze. of Tennessee, who arose on behalf of IthwSoiith Americans to protest that tlfy could never iimliate with the Democrats, who had traduced and nspersed them since the House commenced balloting for Speak er. Mr. Etheridgo is a man of about 38 years of ngc, with a singularly fine and well developed, broud forehead; straight brown j hair; brown whiskers and chin-heard; largo i hazel eyes, set at an honest distanco from euch other, and a prominent, straight nose of not any decided tviie. He 1ms a fine. meiiow voice, ihiks nueniiy, ana his words appear to carry weight lioth with his own men and the Republicans, He speak like a lawyer, with a good d of emphasis, and his general appearance is very prepossessing.

O! if every man spoke his mind, what nn lutolcrablo society ours would b to live in! ' ' The l.usV Herman Preached Daw, Jr.1l la Ira. Elbridgo Gerry Page, author of "Pot ent Sermons of Dow, Jr." first rommeneed many years ago in the Sunday Merenry of New York, of which he was part proprie tor, nnd for some yenrs past, continued In tho Golden Era of this city, died Inst even ing nt about 7 o'clock. He died In pover ty nnd almost alone. ' But for tha kindly offices of a German woman, lie would hvo died with no friendly eye to witness his last words. She, living in the same building which he occupied, ascertaining that he was very siek, called in a physician. But poor " Dow, Jr." was beyond the reach of medi cine. No entitling prescription, no pill nor compound could arrest the thin of life which wns fast ebbing away into tho great ocean of death! . ' Mr. Page was a practical printer, as well ns a writer of undoubted genius., ., His " Patent Sermons," upon their first nppenr nnce, crcuted a sensation, and were un doubtedly tho instigators of many series of articles by other authors, of a half serious, half ludicrous character. They possessed characteristics, of undoubted merit, if not,,, indeed, of genius. They held a much lon ger popularity than the " Cimdlo Lectures," or the letters or "Jack Downing." But, besides those " Sermons," pow, Jr., was the author or much other ninttcr which' floated into the great river of current litera ture. He possessed ability which should hnvo ensured him a competency, if not n fortune. But bo had a weakness which has brought his " Sermons" to a comple tion nt last, nnd himself to an early and melancholy end. Genius, undirected by steadiness of pur pose nnd high aims and aspirations, Is but; steam without ft balance wheel. . Flashing like a meteor, its light dazzles, draws a bricht linn of light across the heavens and sinks in darkness, lenving perhaps a fading ribbon of dying glory to endure for a mo ment nnd (hen disappear forever.
