The annual messagg of the Presi dent, which will likely be sent in to day, will in all probability, contain a recommendation to Congress, favor ing the establishment of a postal banking system. The idea is not original, but its inadaptability to the necessities of the country, has hereto fore prevented its being entertained with favor. There are bo many jections that may be advanced to the adoption of a measure of such a char acter, that it will require more than ordinary influence to render it accept able to the representatives of the na tion. It ia proposed to convert every post office in the country into a repository of funds, with tho privilege of doing a legitimate banking busi nesa within certain limitations. The Government of the United States thus becomes a huge banking institution, and through its fifty thousand branches ramifying every corner of the land, can divert the curreacy from its legitimate channels to engage in the small business of lending money on interest, and re ceiving deposits which it may con vert to its own use. Private . enter prise, which has furnished every business community with banking facilities, will receive a check that cannot fail to operate against private business interests. Small institutions and even others of greater pretensions, however, well secured in their assets, cannot compete with the Post office Department in offering inducements to the public to invest their earnings in natk institutions. The Government will in come direct conflict with private energy and private enterprise. It most condescend to dabble in affairs with which it has no concern, by becoming a common speculator and its- influence necessarily must be used to promote its own interests to the detriment of those of individuals who are engaged in the same pursuit. d Besides this, every little official of an insignificant backwoods post office, ia invested with the grave responsibility of disposing of the funds that may be trusted to his care. The postal Department is a distinct and independent" branch of the national service, and for prudential reasons cannot without arrogating to itself privileges, which do not belong to it, enter into engagements, which of right belong to individual enterprist. The suggestion is mischievous and dangerous. If. it be adopted we may be prepared to see avenues open (o frauJ speculation and untold evils. As a political expedient it will give enormous power to those who govern the nation and extraordinary advantages, in using corrupt influence to pepet-uat- e their rule. If there ever was any danger of imperialism ia this country, this measure is the most significant indication of its progress, than any event that has occurred within the annals of the country, since the establishment of the National Bank which sank beneath the weight of its own iniquity and cor- cross-roa- ' ruption. , Prove of the road in three hours and twenty minutes. And if he dtsires to return the same day, has a couple of hours be fore him in which to take a glance at the principal features of the place. He will strike at once for tbe Provo Woolen Factobt, because that is not only point of interest to the city and county but to the whole Territory. Passing by several handsome houses, prominent among which are the residences of President Young and Bishops Smoot and Mill, noticing the fine Court House on the right, the elegant meeting house on the left, and the large store in front, he comes to & collection of sub stantial buildings which, by the sound of machinery and the quantity ef wool spread around to dry in the sunshine, he knows to be the place he is searching after. The main building is of rock, four stO' ries high, with a half Mansard roof covered with patent roofing. It is 140x60 feet, with a projected stairway, sur mounted by a tower 30 feet above the roof. The upper story is used for the preparation of wool of which a large quantity is on hand. The prepared wool is conveyed to the floor below through flumes which deposit the material just where it is needed for carding. On this floor are 27 carders, two pickers and two renovators. The story beneath is the spinning room, where three large mules with 720spindlea each, and one hand-mul- e of 300 spindles perform their work with the unvarying regularity of first-cla- s machiaery. On the first floor there are 21 narrow looros.llbroad looms, one shawl fringer and one cloth dresser When the factory is run to its fullest capacity there will' be 115 looms at The finishing house is of work, adobies, 70x30 ft., two and a half ste ries high. On the first floor are two washing machines, four fulling stocks, one brasher, two. shears one narrow the other wide two large screw presses, and three gigs. The upper part of the building is used for sales rooms. An other adobie .building of two and a half stories, 140x30 ft., is used for store rooms, carpenter shop, boiler house and machine shop, in the lower part and for wool store and assorting rooms in me upper part, me aye nouse is a frame building, 00x30 ft., and contains one large self washer, with a for washing 1 ,800 lbs of wool capacity or hydro-extracta "wizard" per day; run by steam, for rinsing, &c; two large dye vats, capable of dyeing 1,400 lbs of wool per day; and other dye tubs. The steam for the dye house is supplied by a 50 horse power boiler, by which also through four rows of 1 inch piping around the rooms, the mill is heated. In connection with the boiler is a circu lar stack of burnt brick, 100 ft. high, and 10 ft. in diameter at the base. The machinery in all these buildings it run by water power from a canal, made last spring, half a mile long and twenty feet wide, which drives two turbine wheels, one 85 inches and the other 26 inches. The establishment is under the practical management of Mr. F. X. Loughery, a gentleman of expe rience, ability and good common sense. Belf-acti- i FIRST MRS.

Just as it is at the Brigham Factory, the demand exceeds the supply. Those who have visited the principal woolen factories in the United States, pronounce the Provo factory equal te the best. In most of the cloth manufactured in this Territory, a lack of lustre, and finish and is perhaps the is noticeable, principal, if not the only objection that can be offered against it. Hot pressing apparatus is about to be imported lor the Provo factory, when this objection will be met and overcome. Provo, Uyih county, the entire territory may be proud of this extensive enterprise, and to see it is well worth a trip on the Utah ' Southern to its present terminus. The Court Hause is a very fine brick building, with stone basement 50x50 ft., two stories high, handsomely finished, with spacious court room, effioes and all conveniences for the county business. ; The meeting house is of adobiea, 85x48 ft.; with vestry attached and surmounted by an elegant spire.
