fN|r former townsman, Mr. Woottoa, (re
turned to Maryland a oouple of years ago,)
had hie name sent into tbe Senate on tbe 9th,
for ooi firmation as Secretary for the Terri
tory of Utah. No aotion was taken upon it,
as an eieoutive session was held. But the
appointment will no doubt be confirmed at
the first executive section. He informs me
that, in that case, he will go via Keokuk,
and visit his friends in Iowa.
