Extraordinary Discoveries in the Coun try of the Navajoes—Another Petra —Strange Fashion of Building, etc., etc. On the 17th of October last, a party of twelve Mormons and one Indian, headed by W. D. Huntington, left Man- ti, one of the most southern settlements in Utah Territory, by request of Gov ernor Young, to explore the southern "part of the Territory, of which nothing is known, and if possible open a trade with the Navajoes, who dwell in that quarter, for sheep, goats and horses, of which it is known they have an abun- dance. They have, besides, considera ble'skill in manufactures, and make all their blankets, leather, bridle-bits, &c., many of which are executed with most curious workmanship They also work iron, gold and silver into a multitude of forms, and articles for the warrior, hus bandman aud tradesman. The party returned to the Mormon settlement on the 21st of December last, having on their trip made some most remarkable discoveries. They ft.und, infact/ff-e ruins of a city built in the rocks, very sitniliar to the farfamed Petra in the Eastern Desert, and even surpassing it in the extent. From Mr. Huntington's account, furnished the Deserst News, we take the following highly interesting particulars. On the 17th we left Manti with our full fit-out of men and animals,mid with five wagons. We never felt more gloomy and doubtful,or undertook what appera- cd a more hazardous work, during an experience of twenty years in thi church. A wild, mountainous and dreary desert, hitherto almost entirely unknown, lay before us, and what was still more formidable, Indian Walker and his allies l}ad decreed that we never should pass, and with twenty Spaniards had posted themselves on our route, and their ral ly smoke was in full view- Still wc unanimously resolved to go ahead, and our enemies fled before we reach ed their position, the Spaniards their jecting eight or ten inches, but worn to point at their extremities. Every building was a fortification built in the strongest manner imaginable, and in a style that the present age knew nothing of; many of them still plainly show the whole manner of structure and even the marks of the workman’s tools. The first ruins we discovered were three stone buildings, crumbled to mere heaps. One appeared to have been a pottery, for in and around it were loads of frag ments of crockery of fine quality, orna mented with a great variety of figures, painted with various colors, as bright as if put on but yesterday. A FORTIFIED CITY. From here we traveled ten miles, with occasional ruins by the way, and entered a deep canon, projecting shel ves of rock, and under these shelves were numerous houses or fortifications. The one we examined was divided into twenty-four rooms, each nearly square, and enclosing an area of about 144 square feet. The front wall was built up to the over-hanging cliff, which formed the roof, and was curved and fu!| of port holes. The . stories were all squar ed and faced, were of ait equal thickness, and laid up with joints broken in a workmanlike manner. The only entrance we could find was a hole about two feet square, and eighteeu inches from the ground, which is the usual size of all the doors, both in the outer and partition walls, with the exception of some subterranean entran ces, which were yet smaller and difficult to find. Through the perfection of the rocky roof,there was very little rubbish in the rooms. From the first room we passed through a small hole in the right- hand coiner to the second, and there through another hole into the third, and so on, from left room to right and right to left, all through the twenty-four rooms, and every wall was supplied with port-holes. Fifty yardsabove this was a large cave with a narrow winding entrance, guard' ed by a high wall ; near the mouth [As matter of curiosity we give the races, and the extinction of the one for around her ; for his sake, sharing the do- passage from the Book of Mormon, whose pretended advantage it is invok- cent refinements of the world without which the wri.er regards as conclusive ed, with great injury to the other But. being vain of them, placing all her joy- of the identity of the wonders he saw :J yet. to accomplish so dangerous a pur- j and happiness in the man she Jovcs * “Afid it came to pass in the latter pose, every other valuable principle of end of the eighteenth year, those armies American freedom—whether it relate to of robbers had prepared for battle, and the independence of the Judge or the began to come down and to sally forth supremacy of the Constitution—must lie from the hills and out of the mountains broken down and destroyed.

It remarks : If there was any doubt hefanre of thc present state of public feeling in New Hampshire,there can be none since this election. The State has pronounced itself against Mr. Pierce’s administra tion with an emphasis which leaves no room for cavil. Nothing could have been more flattering to a candidate than the vote which New Hanishire gave Mr. Pierce at the time of his election, aud scarce any circumstance, we think, could mortify him more than such a reversal of its favorable judgment—such declaration made by his old neighbors of their utter loss of confidence in him. In two years he has gambled away the princely inheritance of popularity with which he entered upon his official life, ruined and broken up his party, and caused a complete revolution in the po litical character of the States which gave him the most effectual support There never was a inan elected to the Presidency whose public course was more plainly defined by the circumstan ces of the time, and more free from em barrassing perplexities,, than that of Mr Pierce, two years since; and there never was one among them who missed iiis wyf so deplorably.” KNOW NOTHINGISM. We confess oursjjves unable to com prehend the course pursued by many truly native born Americans in refet- ence to tbe Know Nothings, .and tho principles they avow. Many are fierce, and unrelenting in their abuse, and denunciations of tin- new party, in doing so however, do not attack the principles o ( >enly, and fairly, but bunt some scare crow suiting their own imaginations, and one which they can successfully demolish, and at it the-' go. The abolitionists of the North attacl. them for their opposition to abolitionism, and the Southern Rights Democracy o the South bounce down on them for being abolitionists, but none atteiu[ t to attack their principles as publicly set forth. They remind us of an individua’ who had fell out with all mankind, and being still unable to pick up a fight, finally, fell out with his own shadow and commenced rocking it. The old fogy leaders are evidently in a flutter, and well ihey may, as old things are to be done away with in political matters. The principles of the American par ty are already having their influence one of which is opposition to the appoint ment of foreign born citizens to repre sent the American Government at the courts of other nations. Thc appoint ment of foreigners is considered wrong in principle, and highly mischievous iit its effects, and they are waging war against it, and intend to stop it. The good result of this move is visible in the D iplomatic and Consular Bill," one of its provisions is that none but native born American citizens shall hereafter represent this country before Joreign Courts. This doctrine was never before recognized in tbe legislation of thi* country, and the passage of this Bill, thus excluding foreign born citizens from these high and responsible positions, was brought about doubtless by th* Know Nothing movement, and the loud clamors of the sovereign people for thc enactment of such a law.—Dahlonega Signal. _ Coach-Making and Repairing.

Chapman.—The following an ecdote is related of the celebrated Dr, Chapman: He was called on on one occasion to visit the sick bed of a well known apo thecary of Philadelphia, whose family physician he was. The man of drugs was somewhat alarmed, nor could the assurance of Dr. C. entirely allay his fears that his illness was to be his last "Doctor,” said the patient, finally, "I don’t fear death, but one thing lies heavily upon my mind. "What’s that V said Chapman, lia-ti- ly. "Will, sir, when I was commencing business here in Philadelphia, I was in the habit of adulterating many of my drugs in order to make them hold out the longer. I wonder if God will forgive me V' The Doctoi who had a hearty hatred For such practices, dropped the patient’ hand and looking him steadily in the face, replied: "Forgive you 1 They say God Al mighty’s merciful, Mr. B., but if I were he" I’d see you d—d first.” 1 Did’ as the Rest Did.”'—This tame yielding spirit—this doing ‘as the rest did” has ruined thousands. A young man is invited by vicious company to visit' the theatre dr the gambling room, or other haunts of licen tiousness. He becomes dissipated-, spends bis time, loses bis credit-,squan ders his property, and at last sinks into an untimely grave. What ruined him 1 Simply "doing what the rest'did.” The farther has a family of sons. Hd is wealthy. Other childr’eu in the same situation of life do so, and ard indulged in this 1111115 and that. He indulges his own in tlve same ways They grow up idlers, and fops. The father wonders why his-children do not succeed better. He has spent so much mdney on their education, has given them great advan: tages ; but alas! they are dnly a source of vexation aud trouble: Poor man 1 lie* just paying the penalty of‘ doing as the rest did.” The poor mother strives hard to bring t » her daughters genteelly. They learn what others do—to paint-, to sing-, to play, to dance, andseverali other usr- fnl mafters. Iu time they marry ; tlteir husbands are unable tosuppdri their ex travagance, and they are soon reduced to poverty and wretchcdne s. The good woman is astonished. "Truly.” I did as the rest did ” . . .. The sinner, following the example cl others puts off repentance, and ucgleca. to prepare for death He passes along through life till unawares d ath strikes the fatal blow. He has no time left now to prepare. And he goes down W destruction, because he was so Radish to do as the rest did.” slant additions throughout thc raitlc good* from our HOUSE IN l’ARIS Jan 20 2tn DISSOLUTION: rp HE copartnership in the Franklin Job Office, here- J. tofore existing, u ntler the fim- of Christy & Kelsea, is this «I»y d Owl ved by mutual consent.
