DEAR COURIER : UintaU Station is ii
Weber Canyon, (Utah Territory,) a beautfu
and fertile valley, amongst a series of littl
towns, but all called Morgan, from tho fae!
wc suppose, that this Mormon settlement i
ruled by ono cider, &o. ; is eight miles fror
Ogden, is entirely Mormon settled, n larp
and handsome built city, (G,000 inhabitants,
with ?no hotel-had our supper hore G p. m
last ovcuing ; has her newspapers, school
&c, and is situated in n most romantio sectic
between Ogden and Weber rivers. Tl
Utah Central Pacific Railroad is now ju
completed to this place, with Brigham Your
as president, and hero wo chango cars fro
thc Union Pacifio R. ll. to thc Central F
cific R. R. Wo find thc cars on tho C. ]
R. R. much neater than those on the U. J
R. lt., though smaller, (and, you know, vt
uablo articles arc always put up in a small coi
pass,) made so on purpose to more easily gil
ulong these mountain curves and to go throu?
tho seventeen tunnels ou her road.
Ogden is in view of tho bcautful Salt Lal
where every thrco gallons of water will ma
yon n gallon of salt. Too brackish for m
oh ? Sho has several steamboats to tho city
Salt Lake, by railroad 37 miles.* Thc gradi
depression in thc mountains just in this v

nally, to a certain point to this, deprcssw
though very high up, and then, whon I
general rush out was mado, they found,

but poor-prairie grass and tho everlasting
sago brush-and, as wo advance, no shall
.noto sonio things, and shall omit many, for,
wo are sure, our notes oro getting monotonous
to you.
From Ogden to Elko-thc breakfast house
-is 275 miles. Wo roach hero at 82 o'clock,
crossing tho Humboldt Uiver many times, ns
wc wind around her massive hills. The la
borers aro many, all along tho lino of rail
road, and aro generally Chinese; their caurps
or buts are seen often along tho lino of.tho
road, sometimes dug out of thc sides of tho
mountains, with a bolo just largo enough to
crawl in and lio Uko a dog ; sometimes in
canvass or brush camps ; sometimes in turf
houses. Just along herc tho sagebrush is
dotting thc mountain sides, just like tho pic
tures on wall paper, iu tho distance No
soldiers on this road. At Elko wo had good
brcukfust-81, greenbacks. Hero is a busy
place-hundreds of persons gathered to take
stages for tho White Pino Silver Mines, in
tills Territory, sixty or eighty miles above
Wo counted, at this city, fifty six stages and
numerous wagons, to convoy passengers hith
er and thither. It is a placo of perhaps
1,000 inhabitants, and you soo persons of all
kinds and from nil sections, a great many
Indians amongst them and a few "fifteenth
amendments." Just hero was had a littlo
"row" on tho train. Tho Conductor (Slr.
Kimball) put off two men for refusing to pay
their fare. They had purchased "punched
tickets" at Elko, from some of tho many rail
road followers and swindlers-diffcrenoo,
about fifteen dollars. After some littlo skir
mishing on all sides, tho amount demanded
was paid, and tho men wero nllowod to get
on again. "Nobody hurt on our sido !"
Along herc-Bcownwc Statiou-tho Hum
boldt Valley improves in tho appearance of
her lanes, and we seo settlements, and hef?ty?
out with their stock occasionally. Wo are
now at Battle Mountain Station, a new sta
tion, at foot of a mountain in Humboldt Val
ley, taking its name from a severo battle hav
ing been fought here, years ago, between thc
Indians and emigrants. Thc Indians stampo
dod their stock, while encamped on thc Hum
boldt Uiver, tho emigrants pursuing them tc
this mountain. Many Indians hero now
thc Shoshone tribe now friendly.
Wo have omitted many stations along to
day, booaUSO it would just bo n reputation o
their names, without any particular benefit
Wo would only name them and say "the;
were in tho Humboldt Valley," and, in pass
ing through, there is no special thing to note
tho ?oenery is rather monotonous. Now
high, sweeping, dry winds aro blowing, ain
many of our party want cleaning up-th
dust and smoke hus so taken hold on us, Ilia
wo scarcely know whether wo arc ourself, or
Chinese, Indian, miner, stngc-driver, a sui
dle-eolorcd fifteenth amendment; and, as w
propose to keep up with, tho express train w
aro on, we have littlo time to attend to ov

Wo close our notes for to day at and nci

AN IMPORTANT SUPREME COURT DECISION.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-Tho Supremo
Court of tho United States has decided in thc
onso of tho United States against Edward
prtddlcford, appealed, from tho Court of
Claims under tho Captured and Abandoned
Property act of March 12, 18(33, for half tho
proceeds, paid into the treasury, of twclvo
hundred and ninety-three bales of cotton cap
tured nt Savannah, turned over to a treasury
agent, and sold under that act. Tho court
says, in conclusion : "It follows that at tho
timo of tho seizure of thc petitioner's property
he was purged of whatever offenco against the
laws of the United States ho had committed,
by tho acts mentioned in tho findiug, and
relieved from any penalty which he might
have incurred j it follows further, that if tho
property had been seized before tho oath was
taken, tho faith of tho government was pledg
ed to its restoration upon tho taking of tho
oath in good faith. Wo cannot doubt that
tho petitioner's right to thc property in ques
tion at tho timo of tho seizuro was perfect,
except as against thc acta of tho mityarv com
mandera,-and that it is mado absolu ?dy per
fect by pardon, notwithstanding tho scissure;
but it has boen suggested that tho property
was oapturcd in fact, if not lawfully, and that
tho proceeds having been paid into thc treas
ury of tho United States, the petitioner is
withdub remedy in the Court of Claims, un
less proof is made that ho gavo no aid or com
fort to thc rebellion. Tho sufficient answer
is, that after tho pardon no oiFcnco connected
with thc rebellion can bo imputed to him.
If in other respects thc petitioner mado tho
proof, which under tho acts entitled him to a
dcerco for thc prooccds of his proporty, tho
law makes tho proof of pardon a complete
substituto for proof that he gavo no nid or
comfort to thc rebellion. A different con
struction .would, as it Bccms to us, defeat thc
mannest intention rx ino prouiauiuuuu, rau u
tho act of Congress, which authorized it. Un
der tho proclamation and thc act, tho govern
mont became a trustee, holding tho procecdi
of thc petitioncr'3 property for his benefit
and having been fully reimbursed for ail ex
penses incurred in that character, loses noth
ing by tho judgment which simply awards t<
thc petitioner what is his own. These view
require tho affirmance of thc judgment of th
court of claims, and it is accordingly affirm
ed."
Tho case of Knox vs. Lee will come up fo
re-argument at thc October term of tho Su
prcuio Court. It is a question of s?questre
lion under tho Confederate law. Judge DJ
vis, of Texas, iu his decision, charged th
jury that payment, could bo mndo in Unite
States legal tender notes. Tho difficult
nroso Upon this instruction, aud tho argumci
has been ordered, becauso it opens up ll
whole question of thc constitutionality of tl
Legal Tender Act.
THE NILE PROBLEM.-In a long ar
elaborately nrgued statement on this poin
which appears in tho Athenaeum, Mr. Del
comes to tlio conclusion that tho Kassavi
Kasai is tho head stream and upper cour
of thc nile of Egypt ; that its principal sourc
aro in tho primeval forests of Qlo-Vihen
and Djikoo or Kibokoc on thc Mossainl
Mountaius, which arc now shown to bo t
great hydiopltylachim of thc continent
Africa, tho central point of divisiou botwc
tho waters flowing to tho Mcditcrancan,
I tho Atlantic, and to ibo Indian Ocean, ns a
to Ngami or some other inland lake ; that I
approximate position of this, tho truo Ca?
A?/*, is between ll deg. 80 min. and 12 di
south latitude, and in about 18 deg. or
deg. east longitwV nearly duo east of 1
port of St. Phillip of Douguola on tho w
coast of Afiica, and withiu 800 gcographi
miles of tho Atlantio Ooean ; and that t
marvellous river, tho largcBt in the world
thus found to strctoh across forty-three
grecs of latitudo, or, if measured dingonn
over one-eighth part of tho entire ciroum:

Vducatioii.
A correspondent of thc Columbia P/uxm'x,
writing from Washington, says :
Gen. Eaton, the Commissioner of Educa
tion, has recently had prcpvrod in his oflico,
a number of tables of an exceedingly inter
esting character ; showing tho relation of ed
ucation to tho revenues of tho country, tho
receipt from postal sources, and tho distribu
tion of patents to inventors. Also, thc dis
tribution of parsons engaged in thc learned
professions, and tho issuo and circulation of
newspapers aud periodicals, and finally com
paring thc number of voters unable to read
and write, with tho political majorities
which determined tho elections, in all thc
States and in sections iu 1800 and 18G8.
Thcso tables arc necessarily based upon tho
census of 1800, and they show conclusively,
that, as Secretary Boutwell said many years
in Massachusetts-tho condition of thc schools
iudioato tho condition of tho country. Tho
State which gives tho least revenue, per cap
ita, (cither of internal revenue or postal re
ceipts,) havo tho greatest per centagc of illit
eracy. Thirty-nine out of every 100 grown
persons in Tennessee, are illiterate. In Ohio,
only G o?t of every 100. Tho former contri
buted in 1860, only 14 cents, per capita, to
support tho mail scrvico, tho latter 23 cents.
Tho former, in 18G0, paid 61.12 per head to
tho Internal Revcnuo Deportment, tho latter,
86.87, or Ohio pays moro than six times as
much as Tcnnessoe toward supporting tho
Government and paying thc national debt.
Yet Tcnnessco has tho largest area, thc best
soil, climate and mineral resources, and was
admitted first into tho Union. Tho contrasts
aro still greater between othor States, where
ignorance of oitizcn3 prevails to a greater ex
tent on the ono sido and intelligence on tho
other. Tho political tablo shows that in sev
enteen States in 18G0, tho pluralities or ma
jorities wcro less tuan tho number of illitctato
votes. Tho receipt of the number of illitcr- '
275) whioh -elected Mr. Lincoln, oro 1,013*,
689, not counting tho incrcaso for the last
ten years. President Grant's majority was
309,722 less by 1,226,142 than tho number
of adult men who wcro in 1CG0 unable to
read and write. Another feature of thc tables
shows that thc persons who aro able to rend and
write iii tho South, read much less of thc
current literature of thc day than those in tho
North. In several of the States South, tho
number of voters who cannot read their bal
lots are greater than those who cari. These
tables will soon bo published in somo form for
general information, but it has not yet been
decided how.
A thrilling scene occurred ot tho in.
sano asylum, in Jacksonville, Illinois. A
woman who had been in tho asylum for sever
al years, escaped from tho ward and wont
through thc balls and up tho stairway that
leads out upon tho roof of that building. She
wandered around upon the roof of tho build
ing until sho ootna to the edge of tho cornice.
Aft?r looking down for some time sho swung
herself over tho edgo of tho cornice by her
hands, and swinging there she could just
touch with her toes the cap above thc window
of thc fifth story, which was just below her.
Having gotten a foothold thereon, she let gc
her hands, and, strango to sa)*, preserved hci
balanco and stood upon thc cap, which is aboul
twclvo inches wido. While standing there
sho was discovered in her pcrilous^itufdion
Immediately several men went upon thc roo
to let down a rope, and tried, to persuade he
to fasten it around her. She would take hob
of tho ropo, then laugh nt them, but rcfusci
to uso it. Meanwhile beds woro brought ou
and placed on tho ground fivo stories belo\
bor. nnd in breathless suspenso all who wer
on tho ground awaited her foll. Nothinj
daunted, after remuining on tho window ca]
for nearly a half hour, all of a sudden sh
grabbed tho rope hold by thc hands of th
men abovo and jumped off. They let th
ropo run through their hands, and sho hoi
on until within thirty feet of tho ground
when sho let go, and fell upon tho beds ur
hurt. During all this time thevo wos th
most thrilling suspense to ell tho beholder;
and glorious relief at her esoapo from sue
poril.
It is stated that W. J. Whimper, co

that there will at once bo lo ^anucd a rog
