EmcoCbaoinq to Traitors.—Let none of the traitors who are plotting the betrayal of the country flatter themselves that the patrioti ol this land will permit the prospect of a united nationality to be uprooted from their hopes without the wildest anguish and tbe most terrible retaliation. Thirty millions of people have a powerful hold upon existence. The throes of disolution, when waged in veins tbat ran with lustly life, are always fearful to heboid, and when a giant dies, his final struggles threaten destruction to everything within his grasp. y?e warn, therefore, these Northern traitors who, In the Interest of the Southern monarchy, fancy they can betray their country and pocket the fees of infamy with immunity from retribution, to beware of tbe dark day when the true patriots of this land, numbering among them tho childless parents who have offered up their sons to savo the nation, shall learn that those sons havo not died in vain. We do not apprehend such fate; but addressing ourselves tv tbu lessuns ol experienco, we fcol we must exerciso firmness to avoid it. We prefer therefore, to collar treason while wo aro aloot to crushing its instruments in an expiring struggle, but in any event we desire to servo notice on those malcontents who nre intriguing to dissolve this untion on the false cry of peace, that tho last hour of the people's deep despair will be fatal to themselves. They will then be the earliest to learn that for those who, to distract the country, so basely and falsely cried "peace, peace!" there will be neither peace nor mercy.—Wilkes' Spirit.

EuiQUAXTg.—Tiie tide of emigration a till flows In. Trains are passing through ever/ boar of the day, bound for tbe valleys below—many, however, spreading their tents in the suburbs, to recruit lip and look about them for homes in our own beautiful and fertile valley. Tho greater part of the emigration this year are apparantly not so much attracted by the richness of our tuineß as that of last season ; but are actuated rather hy the desire to find homes and settle in a new country. Nine-tentha of them bring capital, and all bave fine stock. Let them come ; we bid them welcome.—[ldaho Statesman.
