The Coi.ob.ido. Tlio Colorado river is
to me an enigma. Its waters hurry by us
to-tlny as they have hurried on since the
beginning. They bring no intelligence
they uever did they come from a country
wliero there are no post-offices. They have
no history, and they never had o.ic and
hare never heard other notes than those of
the ferocious savages who iuhubit its bar
ren banks; and who, like it, have only
yielded sullenly to the power of intellect by
the force of arms. It drains an inhospita
ble country flowing from regions of Indi
an superstitions, so obscuro that no light,
except-the sun-light, cnu ever penetrate its
silent wastes. It runs through canons of
fabulous depth and extent, some of which
the tons of terror are fearful of approach
ing, so like arc they to the openings into
the abodes of evil spirits. The "Great
Canon," through which for hundreds of
mlcs it rushes, at a depth so great that
from its perpendicular heights no sound is
lieurcl, although its foaming waters below
can he seen, has a mythological interest
.thut perhaps some day may be solved. The
old trappers who have truverscd its borders
speak of its terrors with hushed voices,
even at long years of distance, as if some
frightful image still haunted their memory.
One old trapper describes this canon os he
saw it when trupping for nutria, in these
waters, thirty years ago. He followed
JMny miles along the edges of tlio deep
chosai, whence thousands of feet below he
conld sec the angry waters dash against
the disintegrating rocks. Ho thinks the
riw is not navigable through the canou,
from the rapids and rocks that impede its
current, and that it would be disastrous, if
not fatal, to attempt to navigate it. My
friend relates thut the passion for doing
daring deeds often seized upon the moan
tsjnecrs in bis time, and that, to gratify
this passion, on one occasion, two French
trappers resolved to explore the secrets of
us tesrlul gorge. They took a boat,
Packed in their guns, rifles, and some pro
wions, and, gaiy bidding adieu to their
toraradea, set sail ou their perilous voyage,
hot they were never afterwards heard of.
Perhaps they found new hunting grounds,
d are mill occupied in setting their traps.
The Colorado, like the Nile, is subject to
overflow, and upon this overflow depends
Hthe fruitfulriess of its rich bottom lands.

TUa tree Liquor Diacaaalaa.
Eo. A Hart: Allow me to speak to the
license q iestion as presented by Mr. Noel's
nru-lo puul,l.ed l,y you lust week. I Air-
nwh you my numo according to rule, but
.u, .Mjuur ,rurr, or a respect-
nblo lupior drinktr, I suppose you do not
care, uud perhaps it would be none of your
business. The liquor business I. not a very
respectable calling, therefore you will keep
my imme dark, whilu I write and subscribe
myself as though engaged in the trade.
To be sure, I onght to be permitted to
sell lupiors without paying for the privilege.
I hold it to bo u legitlmato business, mid it
would have been respectublo to this day if
T. inpcrnnce men bad let it nlone. Who,
over thirty years of oge, does not remem
ber when our farmers, doctors, preachers,
everybody, used liquors? Though things
have been going crooked for some time, it
is encouraging to ' honest liquor advocates'
as Mr. HocPs resolution has it, to obsmo
that mutters are coming arouud right ngain.
Temperance men nre beginning to use cur
rant wine, lager beer, ke., clearly recog
uizing that alcohol is useful, used in mod
eration. Indeed, some of them, verv ki'iii.
imy, as i tiunk, advocate the use of
uicoiioi in incse preparations as tho best
means of promoting Temperance. But to
tho main point.
1 know very well what the object is, of
Mr. Hod and those of his extreme notions.
They expect tho liquor business will de
grade itself, produce disgust, and thereby
cause the people to enact prohibition.
Well, let it bo so; I have no fears about
that. Rut if I knew that would bo tho
result, 1 would still agree to the Salem
proposition tnut lucre is but one of two
grounds to occupy, '" trade or no
trade." I am ashamed for uiy liquor
friends, that they have uo more spirit than
to drink taxed liquors. It is bad enough
to uso drugged liquors, but to have them
taxed unequally, is wrong. Tlio old tea
dnuking ladies of '"0 had more spunk than
we, for they refused to use tea while it was
undv-r duty without a fair U-gudntire rep
resentation. And tho fathers in thut day
threw a large lot of the taxed article into
tho sea round ubout Boston. Shouldn't j
we do the same thing throw our liquors
into the river if our legislators don't tuke
the tax off, and let ushuve as fair a chance
for business as our farmers? And would
that uot br'ug them to terms straightway ?
suggest to my liquor brethren throughout
the State who love fair piny as well as
good liquor, that wo go to Sal.'in at the
next session of the Legislature and de
mand the removal of the license system,
and, if refused, buy all the liquor in town
and throw it into the river, and not allow
the members a drop till they come to terms.
I hero would bo economy in this, as thcro
would be no wasto of liquor at uny other
point. Or, if too expensive to waste that
much, wo could just close the shops till our
reasonable demands were answered. Un
like our forefathers on the ten question, tee
nre generally well represented in our Legis
latures, from Oregon to Washington.
And the license system no doubt has been
well meant by our friends, to favor the
liquor trade. The price of liquor at Sa
lem till recently was two bits a drink.
Xow it is a bit. Even this is too high,
and the expense of getting license makes
it necessary to tho seller. Take off tbo
exorbitant demand of fifty or ouc hundred
dollars license fee, and liquor could bo ns
well afforded for a picayune, or ut least 3
drinks for a quarter. Why should I pay
three cents for every glass I drink as a tax
to poy for license and to snpport the gov
ernment, while the merchant pays nothing?
It is nnjnst. I ask that I be allowed to
trade, or drink on equal terms, or not at all.
I believe our liquor men are much as Mr.
Hoel says the Temperance men are: they
will get liquor without tax, if they can, but
they will be sure to get liquor.
I have no affinity for Temperance men,
but I certainly like the proposition of 're
trade or no trade,' and I do hope that our
liquor friends, as well as our fanatical Tem
perance opponents, will have sense enongb
to see the justice of every one selling who
wants to, without hindrance or nobody.
For one, I am willing to unite with our
Temperauce brethren on this new platform.
Won't we make an harmonious team?

TUa Terry Trial Varca.
The cuio of Judge Terry, Indicted for
hling a duel with Senator Iirodcrlck
and killing hit antagonist, c.mo up btfor.
the DiMrict Court of Mnriu County
Judge James II. Hardy prenidcd, and a
number of Jurors wero present. Judge
Terry, Messrs. Hugo and Crittenden, his
counsel, Mr. Hurruldson, District Attorney
of Marin co., wcro ulso present. Jamea
McM. Shufter, of Sun Francisco, was like
wise there; but not engaged in this ease.
Tho Court commenced at 0 o'clock, and
the first case called was that of Terry; and
tho following jury was empanneled: Gilbert
Leonard, Grenada Kimr. Jacob Short.
Jouilhan BeckerstafT. Muthias li'owers.
James Olcott, Parker X. Coard, Solomon
Hi lser, James B. Stafford, Charles Lnuff,
Benjamin Miller, and Hiram 12. Knott
As soon os tho jury was empanneled,
the Court demunded that the case should pro
ceed. Tho District Attorney, who was the
representative of the prosecution, stated that
tho witnesses of the people were not yet pros
cut, nud aked fur a short delay. At this
time, indeed, the yacht Restless, In which
tho witnesses from this city had gone over,
was very near to, and in full sight of Sun-
Rafael. Theie were in it Chief Burke, Dr.
McXully, Dr. Uolmun, Leonidas Haskell,
Captain Lies, Henry Fritz, and others.
i But tho Court seemed determined that the
case must be rushed through, and no delay
whatever would be granted. Mr Shafter
indeed end avorod to bring up a motion in
another case, for the pnrposo of allowing !
witnesses time to arrive; and the case of
Terry, without witnesses or a chance of
being beard, was rushed through a mock'
ery of justice, a disgrace to the judicial
history of California.
Tho Court again demanded of the District
Attorney whether he had any evidence to
offer. The District Attorney replied that
he had not. The Court then turned to the
jury and notified it that it could retire and
deliberate upon a verdict. The foreman of
thut institution, Gilbert Leonard, replied,
in effect, " Weil, Judge, it isn't worth
while to retire. We've all pretty much
made up our minds; haven't we, boys?"
Tho " boys" answered " yes," and tl.e jury
thereupon acquitted the accused, without
leaving their seats, at 20 minutes before
10 o'clock, just about forty minutes after
the convening of tho court. When witness
es from Sun Francisco arrived at the spot,
tho case for it cannot be culled a trial
was over; and Terry was seen enjoying a
horse-laugh at tho corner of one of the
streets.
It was not expected thntTery would be
convicted. With such a Court, such a
thing was far from being looked for. But
it was thought that a decent respect to the
forms of justice would have been observed,
if nothing more; and that the trial, which
was anticipated to be a farce in law, would
uot have been one iu fuct. The defense
and this term includes more than the de
fendant and his attorneys overshot their
mark, by making the whole affair a disgrace
and a crying shame. Even Terry's friends,
if they have a spark of honor about them,
cannot but be disgusted with a judicial
mockery, which must expose our Courts to
the well merited contempt of the civilized
world. This Terry's triul will remain a
blot and a stain upon the unme of the State
long after the memory of the Court itself
shall have been wiped out from among the
records of men.

Hannibal llamliu who was nominated on
Friday by the Republican Convention at
Chleugo for Vice-rrciidout, was born In
Paris, Oxford Co., Maine, in August, 1809,
and is now In the 51st year of his age.
He Is by profession a lawyer, but for the
last twenty-four years has lwert, for much
of the time, In political life. From 1830 to
1840 he was a member of the Lrghtluture
of Maine, and for three of those years ho
was the Speaker of its House of Represen
tatives. In 1843 ho was elected a member
of Congress, and reelected for tho following
term. Iu '47 he was again n member of the
Stato Legislature, and the next year was
chosru to fill a vacancy, occasioned by the
death of John Full field, in tho United
States Senate. Iu 1851 he was reelected
for the full term in the samo body, but
resigned on being chosen Governor of
Maine in 1857. In the tamo mouth he
was again elected to tho United States
Senate for aix years, which office he accept
ed, resigning the Governorship. n is still
a member of tho Senate. This record is an
evidence of tho confidence with which he
has always been regarded by bis fellow-citizens
in Maine.
Up to tho time of the passage of the
Kansas-Nebraska bill iu 1854, Mr. Hamlin
was a member of tho Democratic party.
That act he regarded as a proof that the
party, with which he had been all his life
connected, no longer deserved the numo of
Democratic, and was treacherous to the
priuciplts he hud bo long cherished.
Thenceforward ho gave his support to the
Rcnublican nartv. of which he has ever
i .
siuco continued a fuithful and distinguished
leader.
Mr. Hamlin is a man of dignified pres
ence, of solid abilities, of unflinching integ
rity, and great executive talent. Familiar
with the business of legislation, he is pecu
liarly adapted, by tbe possession of all
theso qualities, to Gil beneficially fur tlio
con u try, and to his own and his party's
honor, tho high post for which he has been
nominated. The name of Hannibal Ham-
lix of Maine is a fit second to that of
A br au asi Lincoln of Illiuois.
Military Movkme nts. The Moun
tuiuccr says: Companies A, B, and M,
3d Artillery, under command of Major
Andrews, arc now fitting out at Fort
Dalles, to join Major Steen and Captain
Smith in an expedition against tho Snake
Indians; two companies of Dragoons from
Walla Walla are also under orders to pro
ceed to the Enme point. These companies
are provisioned for two months, but may
have occasion to remain longer in tho field,
in case of which, provisions would be for
warded to them. In consequence of this
movement, it will be unnecessary for Lieut.
Alexander to proceed to Harney Luke,
ns was originally intended; tho order for
which has been countermanded. When
this force is concentrated there will be
seven efficient companies In the field, and
we hope the hostile tribes who infest that
region of country, will receive a chastise
ment that will effectuully prevent the rep
etition of such outrages es were chronicled
in onr lust issue. Colonel Wright, by his
prompt action iu this matter, has furnished
evidence, if such were wanting, of his emi
nent fitness for tho position to which ho has
just been assigned.
France. The Paris correspondent of
the Morning Star states that the annex
ation of Belgium and the left bank of the
Rhiue is now as coolly talked of in Puris us
though it were a matter of course; and the
optimist writer, who generally laughs at
the rumors of war which disturb the world,
now tells us that we are on the eve of
great changes In Europe, of which the
transfer of Belgium to Franco may be ouc.
Moreover, he and the people of Paris arc
now becoming fully alive to the fact that
the Eastern qnestion is to re-opened by
Russia, probably in conjunction with
France, for the affectation of interest in the
"unbearable position of the Christians in

From a work published in England, by
Andrew Steinmit, Esq., we learn of Japan
that with a population of forty millions of
wealthy and civilized inhabitants, her vie
luges touch each other, and form streets
many leagues In extent. Her towns are
crowded. Jcddo, the capital of the empire,
Is more than one-half larger than Paris,
and la only less jxipulous than London by
three or four huudrcd thousand. There arc
354 Inhabitants to the square mile; France
has only lo t, tho United Kingdom 152,
Germany 127, Italy 172, Hollaud 24,
Spain 03, Inhabitants to tho sbuarc mile.
St. Francis Xavier, tho Alexander of
the Jesuit mission, said of them, more than
two hundred years ago, " they arc truly tho
delight of my heart." That was before
Harrcquen performed his functions as Jav
anese inquisitor, and before the Jupancso
police asked the Dutchmen if they were
Chnstiuns, and they, to save their lives,
exclaimed, " Christians! Christians! we are
Dutchmen."
Jcddo, on the island of Xiphon, the cap-
ital of the empire, with a population of three
millions, is said to be, without exception,
one of tho finest cities iu the world, planted
with rows of trees, mostly of cedar, inter
spersed with flower gardens; and the houses
of the princes and nobles are pulaces, one
of tlicin containing sometimes ten thousand
followers of the owner. There arc 3850 is-
: lands that comprise the empire, which con
tains 12,570 square leagues,
lho use of animal food is interdicted by
tho nutionul religion. Of milk and butter
they know nothing. Rice is tho main food
and it is the best quality in all Asia, per
fectly white, and so nourishing and suhstuu-

P5T The following la the official letter
of Abraham Lincoln, accepting tho Re
publican nomination:
SrRixuKiKi.n. III.. May 23. 1SG0.
To on. Gtorgtt Anhmun, t'rriidtnt Re
publican Pintionnl Convention:
Sir I accept the nomination tendered
by tho Convention over which you presid

iu the letter of yourself and others, ucting
as a Committee of the Convention for that
purpose
1 he declaration of principles nud senti
ments which uccomiianies your letter meets
my npprovul, and it shall bo my care not
to violate it or disregard it In any pnrt.
Iiniiloring the assistance of Divine Prov
dunce, and with due regard to tho views
and feelings of all who were represented in
tne Convention, to the riulit.i of all the
States and Territories and peoplo of the
nation, to the inviolability of the Constitu

I am your obliged friend and fellow-citi

The Ckxsus. Tho result of tho census
of 1800, which wus commenced all over the
country on the 1st of June, has been vari
ously estimated, some peoplo culculatinj
thut it will show a population in lho Uni
ted States of thirty-five millions, which is
pohnbly too large a figure. The likelihood
is that the population of the country at the
present time is about thirty-threo millions,
which will show un Increuso of ten millions,
sinco 1850, or about thirty-seven per cent.
Wo find that the average increase each
decade since the year 1800 was thirty five
per ceut. varying from thirty-threo to
thirty-seven percent. The some ratio of
increase for the last decade would therefore
make the population of tho U. S. In 1800
about thirty-three millions.
Foi'R Trains at a Time. The Illinois
Ccutrul Railroad at a town culled Mat-
toon, is crossed by the Terre Haute and
Alton Railroad. Every day, at 2 p. u.
are seen four trains coming from four dif
ferant directions, arriving at this point nt
the same time, to a second, every day.
They can be seen as they approach, for ten
miles in each direction, the prairies there
being a smooth, broad expanse, strotchin;
away to the horizon without any , inequal
ities to obstruct the sight. As these ar
rive, their cow-catchers appronch to with
in twelve feet of each other, as. though ex
changing salutations, when, gracefully
backing, as though bidding adicn, two of
the trains go on the twitches, while the
other two scream away over the iron-bound
prs'rie.
iST Mr. Winslow, of Xorth Carolina,
in a speech lately delivered in Congress,
said:
He was early taught that there were
three classes of peoplo that ho ought to
avoid all controversy with one class was
the preachers, for they had the pulpit to
denounce turn from, while ue had none to
reply from; the next was the editors of
papers, who had the columns of their jour
nals to carry on a controversy, while he
bad none; tne nest was the women, who
would always bare the last word.
