Compromwe..,."'',. ' . ,.' ' For the information of our readers, we quote ( K Fremont's report some interesting partic hut with regardo the: territory in question. In 1842, Lieut. Fremont of the Corps f To-1 ' pographical Engineer of the United States JnnT, was sent out; bj the Government "to uplore and report upon the country between the frontiers of Missouri and the South Pass of Rocky .Mountains." He was furnished fitb every thing" necessary for such an under taking with twenty one men selected by him- .'nlf for their knowledge of the country, as Cana dian toyageurs, trappers and traders; and with tie necessary arms and, equipment for such . ia expedition. Fremont is a man of extensive ind varied knowledge of the natural Sciences; Astronomy, Geology and Botany, and carried ith hiin the necessary instruments for making wiJ noting observations of the weather, the cli- uate, the latitude, longitude and observation ; id! he, with his associate, Mr. Preuss, careful ly preserved and arranged geological and bp- j tonical speciniens, in order that the scientific world might form clear and definite ideas of the country.' He kept a daily journal of his ob lerrations, which has been published by order, of Congress in the form of a Report' to the iead of his Bureau. . His expedition left the frontiers of Missouri n the, 10th of June, 1842, at or near the point bere the Kansas river, which gives its namg Jt) the proposed Southern Territory, falls into the Missouri. This is in latitude 39 5' 57'', tnd is in the northern part of the proposed Kacsas "Territory. At this point " the elevation ibova the sea is about 700 feet," says the Re port; and ourtreaders can form an idea of the elevation and climate by considering that Mur gmton,. in Burke, in full view of the Black Mountain, is oniylKX) feet above the sea, and loor degrees south of the Kansas. The lowest portion of this Southern Territory is therefore a high country, and in a higher latitude than tnj part of North Carolina. For the first hun dred" miles he describes the country as a rich , Prairie, with trees only upon the river bank?. But there is a gradual rise above the level of ' the sea, which sensibly affects the temperaiure, although the heat of summer is approaching as "he advances, and the soil hecosaes poorer. On the eighth day of thei journey, that is to say, on the 18th of JEua, the Report says : "The morning of the 18th was very unplea sant. A fine rain was falling, with cold windlrom ' the north, and mists made the river lulls look dark and gloomy." In the evening of the same .dij, he says, " The weather continued cool, the .thermometer being this evening as low as 49 degrees. :The next morning was cool, " the thermometer being at 45 degrees." At tke close of the same day's observations " the ba rometer indicated a considerable rise in the .a a try here about fourteen hundred feet above the level of the sea and the increased elevation appeared already to have some slight . influence upon the vegetation. The night was kid, with a heavy dew ; the thermometer at 10 P. M. standing at 46, degrees," &c On the 21st he savs: As we advance westward, the soil appears to be getting more sandy, and the sur- , luce rock, an erratic deposit of sand and gravej, ttsta here on a bed of coarse yellow and gray, and very pliable sandstone." On the 22nd he tU3: "The country has beeosue very sandy, and the plants less varied and abundant, with the exception of the aiHti-pha which rivals the grass in quantity, though not so forward as it has been found to the eastward." On the Gth of June, the Report, or, we should mere proper lj say, Diary, says : "From the mouth of the Kansas, according to our reckoning, we had traveled three hundred and twenty-eight miles, and the geological" formation of the country we had passed over consisted of lime and sand atone, covered by the same erratic deposit of sand and gravel, which, forms the surface rock of the Prairies between the Missouri and Mis sissippi rivers." . (The country here described i southwest of the Missouri.) "The ele: Nation of the Platte (Nebraska) valley abore the aea is here about two thousand feet." This is near the dividing line between the two propo sed Territories contemplated by Douglas' bill. Onr readers may form an idea of its climate and productions by considering that the bed of the river is as high as the top of the Pilot Moun tain in, this State. We are now only three hnn dred miles from the frontiers of Missouri, by the tvijarjeurs, and considerably less on a straight '"f. It is still about a thousand miles to the K jcky Mountains which bound the proposed Territory on the west, and the elevation, I the c Id, and the barrenness of the soil increase step hv stt p as we Droceed westward; ' - We propose confining ourselves to a descrip tion of the Southern Territory, arid as our tra Tlk'rs here diverge into the Northern one, we 1-ave them. They pnrsue their journey west W;ird to California, and explore it from North t' Suuth, with what U now known as Utah. linearlv twelve months from the time we gree of latitude) land our course home would have been eastwardly j but that wrould have ta ken us over ground already examined, and therefore without: the interest which would ex cite curiosity." ' jThe party were' "some weeks in exploring the' mountains, crossing and re crossing them in the vicinity of the head waters of the Platte or Nebraska and the Arkansas on the east, and the Colorado' which runs into the Gulf of California. We quote again from the Report : "June 30. Our cavalcade mdved rapidly down the Arkan sas, along the broad road which follows the OTja NEW YORK CORRESfOJTDENCE.

If His "notes of a military reconnoissance, from Fort Leavenworth to San Diego" in California will cover the more southern portion of the territory. In a letter of July 22nd, 1847, to Professor Torres.; of Princeton, he sums up a brief outline of his observations, which are ful ly detailed in his "notes." He says : "From the 27th June to July 11th we were traversing the country between Fort Leaven worth and the bend of the Arkansas, a rich rolling prairie embraced between the 39-th and and 38th parallels of latitude, and the 9-kh and 98th meridians of longitude. "From July llth to July 13th,. followed the Arkansas to Pawnee Fork, in longitude about 99. At this point tbe fertile soil ceases, except on the immediate margin of the streams." Here again the fertile lands cease at the dis tance of about two hundred miles west of Mis souri, beyond which a Cold barren region stretches to the Rocky Mountains. Fort Leav enworth is on the immediate borders of .Mis souri in latitude 39 and. is stated by Lt Emo ry to be 912 feet above the sea. This is the lowest point, according to his accurate mea surement of the Southern Territory, ; which Douglas' bill proposes to call Kansas. The fertile portion of it extends about two hundred miles west, arid gradually rises from : 912 to about fifteen hundred feet above the level of the ea. It is almost an unbreken Prairie, and its climate is colder in summer tlian that of New England, according to the accurate meteorologi cal observations of FremonV, Emory and others. It is assumed, therefore, how correctly, we .Dossess not the know ledge which would enable us to determine that it is out of the question to think of cultivating cotton or tobacco in such a region, and that our institution of slavery can have there no more than a nominal exis tenoe. ; attracted by what referred to this State, the same accuracy is observed elsewhere, we do'not hesitate to say that it is the most valua ble geographical compendium ever yet offered to the public. There is a minuteness in the information given, which has never before been attempted, and it is reliable, because it is drawn from tha highest authority. I ..... J . 1. . . 1 I I . . J . .-. 1 i .

Dates from Sebastopol to January Gth state that the Turks had gained brilliant success oh the Danube. They had stormed and carried the Russian entrenched camp at Ci tall, near Kalafat, and put 2,500 of the enemy to the sword. They had aUo attacked a body of 18,000 Russians which had been sent to relieve Citall. After a sharp encounter compelled them to retreat. The Russians are thus driven back from posi tions at which they had hoped cross the Dan ube. The Turkish foree in the battle was 15, 000, and they had only 15 guns. It is admitted that Omar Pasha brilliantly out-manceuvered the Russian commander, and gained many advantages on the Danube. lie was formally noticed on the 1st inst., at the Divan of the Four Powers to Ambassadors.

JIy Dear Sir Will you permit me to return you my thanks for y.ur " Book of Practical Forms," received by mail several days ago? I ain highly gratified by its appearance, as I think it is'calciilated to bring about a much needed reform in the loose practice of the Pro fession. To the 'younger members of the bar, rend to the clerks'of the County and Superior Courts, it will be of great utility. To my stu a . . . T cl.

Tne-ie litilj straws show how the wind is be ginr.tni to blow beve. Whether it will rise to the dignity of a storm, or not, remains to be seen. My opinion has been, and now is, that the Nebraska bill will pass with the clause ab rogating the Missmi i Compromise ; neverthe less I may be mistaken there are ninny mem bers' who probably do not at present know how they-w ill vote upon the bill, and are waiting for an expression of popular opinion at home. Should there be mueh feeiing manifested among the people at tbe North and Wvst, this will ot coiif-e have its influence; and judging from tbe tone of the Northern press, as lar as I have observed it. 1 inter that this is likely to be the cast1;, should tbe bill undergo much -discussion and occupy much linie here.

Accept my thanks for it, and allow me to say you have shown great discrimi nation, accuracy and diligence in its compila tion. To say nothing of the importance of the book to the elder members of the bar, it is the desideratum. very thing needed by all of tbe junior, members, and by the Clerks of the Courts in the several counties. Yesterday evening and last night I gave it a careful pern- sal, and at the close ot the examination ot tne applicants for Superior Court license, I took Occasion to advise every member of the class to procure a copyjand told them to let all of the clerks know that they ought to have copies in their offices.
