The l ull Ms«»r lieiera ’• Report.
In our issue Saturday we briefly mentioned the
general tenor ct'the P«jet Master General’.- Report.
We now stibj -in the following abstract from the
Washington Union which contains some addition
al fuc a ot general interest:
There are 28,548 postofliee- 1 * in the United Btatea,
the annual compensation* of 257 of which amount
to tlOlO nd op wards. During the last y**x 1842
office* established and 614 discontinued. —
Number of ckb* masters appointed during the
same time, 8618. Removals, 15r77. Number ot
mail routes, 66y7. Number of mail contractors,
5167. Total annual transportation of mails, 68,-
8:7,005 miles, at a cost ot 44,680, 676; thus, 21,-
267,6' 8 cnbe* ov mod s not * e: li <l, at 5 cm.a
per mile, 2b,69'\530 miles by coa*:h, at 6 cents pej
mile : 15,483,8.-9 m>l«s by railroad at 12 ocn.a 4
milis per mile; 5.216,488 miles by at earn boat, at »
ccLt* 4 mil is per mile, Increase .n transportation
dunLg the pa*t year 2>£ percent. ,
Tne expo di cres ot the department during the
pm vear were $677,424 12. and the revenue
255 5b6.52. To the former must be added floa,-
468.83, balances no foreign offices, wl.icti would
a total deficiency for the ytar Do 4 i f J »«*©•■
321 23 Tho deficiency tor the year 1658 was f2,-
117 <7B 2>, Icavug a difference ia favor of
#3t>\ 756. The increase in the r*vecns of I**4,
compared with the revenueof 1858, ia $97u,899 48,
or about 19 per cent.
The Postmaster General alludes at considerable
•engtb to the difficulties between the department
and railroad companies relative to the rates of
compensation lor carrying the mails. The com
piani'es, he says, alb ge that the government should
o«.t ask or expect them to perform for it any ser
vice at a less rate than that paid to individual* for
imiiar service. This principle he contends, he
Las alwajs been willing to recogniso in the adjust
ment of prices. What ia now required, he bo
.ievos, is, that the r&'dread companies should be paid
aocoroiug to the bulk of the mails, the hpeed with
suriA v**® 'vreconveyed, and the accommodations
required. The paid by expre.-s companies are
::o luir -critcri-r-u, /of, ao Xru~* veifr trim u i»r ea oy *
competition, they Cuu pay any price demanded of
them and assess ic upon their customer*. £cg
and, France, Germany and Canada pay to
railroad* tor mail service than is paid by tbc Uni
ted S'ate*. Comp'aint i* made of the insufficient
accommodations, aa a general rale, for route ageLt*.
Allusion is made to ’be habit of irresponsible par
ties obtaining, by groes misrepresentation, mail
c>miracle, and subsequently throwing them up be
cause C! a iaiinre on ttieir par. to tell the same at a
profit. A remedy for this fraud is
Owing to causes uot witoin the control of the
\ department, the expenses of the current your wih
greatly exceed thotve<»t the pa*t year. They are
.mimaled ut s9>B4< ,921 88. -bis increase Will bo
jwing to the addiuoaal compc ti«a'iou of postmas
ters and the enhanced prices demanded by con
r.racier* at the last lettings.
A uniform plan of rug stration ia warmly reccm
neiided as *n additional protection lor the sale de
ivery ol letters of value. The want of ruch a
safeguard lias long been felt; and aa the coat of
its maintenance will lull directly upon those who
.viil cheerfully •ur the expo nee, wc t-ee no good
■eason why it should uot bo incorporated into our
po tal a stem a* on 3 of it* principal features.
During the three y eai a commencing July 1,1851,
$5,507,“22.<8 postage stamps and stamped envd
.pea huve been issued by the department, ot which
$5,092,801 were sold.
For the last year the cost of the service on the
various United States mail steamship lines, and
•cross tl.e Isthmus, was a* follows : Col-ins line,
' weuty six round trips, $858,000; Mow York aria

Officers for the New Terrxtohies. —The Ser
ves or* Gene* a* ot Kansas an i Nebraska, Now
M xicoand Washington Territories, have repaired
to their respective posts, with full instructions for
their gu danoa and government, under the legi*ia
ti-ms of thr> !a-tse*sion of Ccngross.
The land offic rs for Washington and Oregon
Territories, authoriz'd at the last session ot Con
gre s, have been appointed; full with
the necessary tract blank*, &J , have been
transmitted to their offices, that they may be able
r.t once to enter on duly. Those for Kansas und
Nebraska w-»’e not appointed, and as no surveys
have yet betn made in those Territories, they
w 'uld have nothing to do, and their appoiutment
would therefore have involved unneces*ary ex
pen«e.
History of the Lani> System (and system
was orig j.sted by J wife ’son, and fa'bioned i ,to
'orin by that s alesman, ai led by L:vi?g
ston, (*erry, Howell, Read, Wil 'amson. Lang,
K'ng. Johnson,Stewart,Gardner, Henry,Grayson,
Baii, Iloust n and Monroe. In the arsetment oi
the crddiancc of 1785, and tho ac f s of 1796, 1900,
and ISOS, the nat nu bad the benefit of the wisdom
and patriotism of the sages, who, under heaven,
founded our tree and h*ppy Government. The
advancement es the public interest was then the
only object sought. The heavy debt ot the revo
lutior, pressing on the young Republic, required
liquidation, and every means at the d : sp?aai of the
Government was carefully and judiciously applied
to that o v j ct. Among the>e, the public lands
were considered a permanent and prominent item.
With the utmost care, forecast and wisdom, the
iand system was brought to per-ec’ion by a seres
or laws and executive and judicial decisions, till by
the passage of the act or 24 h April, 1320, the cash
ws- suh-tituted for the credit system.
It is to po truy tn* vast benefits al
ready derived by the West from this system. Im
mense regions i ave been disposed of t h at were
thought to be wholly unsaleable because of the dis
ficaky of aocess, and so na»oer ns aro the applies
tions for these iands, tlx* in somecises, 4 or want
nf time, they canuol be acted on lor months alter
they are made.
i The necessity for means of communicating fce
tween tlie Pacific and the Mississippi, across the
j continent, is becoming more apparent and pressing
; every year. Ihe only mode hv which this can be
accompiishad i* a grant to the contractor above al
j '3d®** to. No b ale can do it—it has not the pow
; er to go beyond rs own limit. The work ia too
I vast for pnva’e enterprise, and too important fw
further Ston’d the lands>s*em tecr'«nrled
th ; s work and all others ot like cLaracier will be
re deied nr practicable.
With the e view*, the natural surges* ion is that
the graduation iaw to be radically amended, if it
be the p leisure of Corgi ess to eogmt t it perma-
on the lard system; and in that event, it is
further sugge*-t«»d that me twelve and a half cent
class be abolished, or rather donated to the State*
Te «p<c'ively in which they lie, as the profit will
eearoely detrry the expenses of disposing ot them.

jl* toU'iy impracticable; and «h.B, the bucretary
ap» rehends, settles ih*‘ question forever.
T ;e bombardment of G r ev»ow * by the sloop of
i war C>aue. is narrated, and the Secretary rems'k*
j that “ho cou*d not reprove Commander Hollins
I for his conduct. Humanity often lends her sym
! f>athy to however jafet the pnnishn ent;
j but patriotism rarely condemns *he brave iffijcr
j who administore that pnniihment, from a of
; justice to his countrymen, whose property has
| beau destroyed, aud whose national fiig has been
j invnlted.”
I Commodore Perry is highly complimented lor
' h's-uejeas in Juparj.
Ou the increase of the Navy the Secretary says
he “is L*r from tne opinion that the enlargement
of oar Navy should stop wi'h the action of last
Congress. Tho protection of our commerce ; the
guarding cur extended coisl; the preservation of
our rank as a nation, demand that we should not
be entirely stationary, and with inactive indiffer
ence heho'd the progress of other powers in naval
strength. Even with the additional unfinished
stoam frigates our naval force will Dot exceed fifty
vessel* in condition for service. Weakness in
vites aggression, and r ever inspires respact, while
acknowledged strength and visible prepara*ions,
con maud consideration, Bnd are the true safe
guards of peace. The l eceesity and propriety of
ao augmented Navy is eloquently argued at con
siderable length, and the oMjcUons tberelo an
swered.
The Secretary docs not propose to increase the
number ol officers nor materially enlarge the
squadrons, and the eby largely increa.se the current
expenses, nor have a navy of tho immense size aad
extent of some of the navies of European powers,
but to iocrea.se the material of oar navy so as at
le*s», to approximate lo a state of readiness for
emergies, which wi?e statesmen strive to avoid,
but wi'er statesmen prepare to meet. It will be
the Secretary’s pleasure to oo operate with the le
gislative depariment of the Government practical
ly carrying out tiitte© views.
The Secretary renews recommendations of
last yeai for the re-organ’zation of the Navy; the
creation ol a retired list lor infirm officer-; the
discharge of theiaafficien : , and to haveprcmoUons
regalated by capacity and merit in some degroe,
instead of by seniority of commission and pay, to
some extent controlled by seaaervics.
80 far a* he has authority, thet** views will gnide
h**_*cUon ev.in -r; »- -
‘ cannot recommend for promotion to higher rank
and pay, officers who do not merit it from incapa
city, either moral or physical. Ido no* apprec ate
the justice or policy of promoting to a higher grade
an officer who can. ot perform its dut es, unless iu
rare exceptional cases, as complimentary reward
for service rendered. It is neither more uor less
than elevating tho incompetent ard then ordering
the unpromoted competent to o their **ork.
The objections against the propossd reform are
ably considered. Ha says much is still to be done
to givp proper shape, origin, vigor, character, and
to a system ot dn-cipline in naval service.
He is far from recommending the restoration of
flogging. The experience of tho Navy justifies its
abrogation. There is, however, nrgeut
tor some substitute, accompauie 1 with a p!un of
reward as wed as punishment—a substitute w bieh
would be prompt and sare—in order to rest.ain
the offender and de'er the inconsiderate; to re
ward, equally euro, the generous ; to eucourigd
fidelity and promote respectability. It U net the
severity, but the certainty and promptness of
punishment, which promote discipline. Ho re
commends that the commander of any vessel
bo authorized by law te order a summary court
martial for the trial of petty officers and those be
low them ; that they have power to punish by
dishonorable discharge in any port, or by confine
ment or reduce l rations, and without pay, with
extra labor and denial of shoro privileges. He re
news his recommendations of last year Ot’ the plan
to induce seamen to bec une permanently attached
to the Navy, by granting conditional leave of ah
senco at tho end of a cruise, and increase pay cn
re-enlistment, it the 8 cie’ary’* purpose to
immediately adopt ij modified form the appren
rice system, and encourage Iha en'istment of
American boys from fourteen until twenty one
years of ego ; to train them first on a receiving
*hip, thenon cruise!*, in practical seamanship. H >
is clearly o* th opinion, also, that the number of
men in the service should bo increased at »eas ; .
wont* -five hundred. The number of tho marin®
corps is deemed entirely too small, and an mdefl
ite'y s at&d increar-e is earnestly recommended.—
L’ho corps would be improved and o'evated in
character by adop ing some system of appointing
officers of military education and training.

Report of (he Com ml* loner of Irdian AfTo'r*.
Col. Many penny, Conmiissioner ot Indian As
furs, in hie auoual report sets forth many fa?ts of
into lest, Mud bhows tnat the opeiationa of hie de
purtmont during the year have been exceedingly
large.
The Indians in Nebraska and Kansas hare ceded
to the United States Government, nearly fifteen
millions of acres of land. The Indians, howevor,
have c: nght souio ol the white man’s spirit, and
they dem.nd a higher price than usual for the
land in Kansas. They or) r y agreed to give up
these hind* under a pledge that they should have
a rc«ervo for a perm&nen home.
There is trouble with the Indians on the Arkan
ium ami Platte riv*r* y au4 it appears that while the
agent is seeking them to present amendments r o
treaties, they are quietly shootirg down emigrants
aud robbing traders. The Commissioner thinks
something should bo done for these misguided
people, but acknowledges that he cannot say what
the “something” shoo'd be, but suggest kindness
and peaceful attempts to colonize them.
The Commissioner gives some valuable informa
tion relative to the Ciioc'awe, Cickasaws, Creeks,
and Bemino!es, and he also suggests that no mo e
removals of Indian tribes shall take place—lhat is,
that ti e reserved lands given them by Govern
ment shail be secured to them and their heirs for
ever.
We quote the concluding remarks of the report:
“In carrying out ail the plans heretofore devised
for ameliorating the condition of the aborigines of
our continent, difficulties have arisen and obstacles
presented themselves ou every side ; and it seems
impossible now to devise any means for attaining
these desirable ends, by which all difficulties could
be obviated, all obstacles avoided.
“But par lal snoceess has attended the labors of
the benevolent; and the effi rts of the department,
when r-ost luithfally directed, have not nofro
qnently provod a positive injury. Adverse ele
ments'have always been at v/ork to thwart the
wishes of tho government and counteract the la
bors of the philanthropist, and these have unfor
tunately been but two oiten successful. Onr for
mer policy, aud tho inveterate determination of
the Indian to resist domestication, have combined
to plica him in a situation where the lawless and
nnrrinc'plod could always have access to him ;and
such porsona hr.ve, through all periods of our his
tor}, availed themselves or every opportunity to
advise the 'gnnrant and unlettered chi'd of the for
est aga nst his best interest, and have but too sue*
cessfally instilled into their mind prejudices
against those who were laborirg for his good.
“Thtia have tho mercilessaud heartless followed
in his path, flattered his vanity, corrupted his
morals, impressed upon end confirmed him in *he
belief that labor and the art* of peace are degrad
ing, und his submission to them offensive to the
Great Spirit, and directed and controlled his actiou
and made him the victim ot tbeir avarice.
“Such influences are believed to bo as formida
ble and more unscrupulous than at any former
period of our history ; and when we add to them
the train of over recurring and never ending difil
cullies that beset the path of the weaker, in the
battle of life with the stronger race, we perceive,
in the present condition of tho red man and the
dangers thut encompass him, additional motives
to cad into active exercise iu his behalf all the en
ergies of the benevolent and good of tho land.
“As a Christian government asd people, oar ob
ligations and dutiou are of the highest and holiest
character, and we are accountable to the Muker of
all men for the manner in which we discharge
them. Having faithfully expired all the means
placed withinour reach to improve tho 1 .diau rr.ee
and preserve it from extinction, we can, with a
g tod conscience and Btror.g faith, leave the issue
in the hands of our common Father. — Baltimore

Annual Report of the Secretary of the Interior.
Tins document gives an interesting exhibit of
the various matter* entrusted to the care of the de
partment, over which tne Hon. K. McClelland pre
sides.
It necessarily, however, embrace* many facts of
general in’ores-t given in other reports, p r rticularly
those of the General Laod and Patent < fliesa.
The Secretary reiterates his recommendation
that tho officers connected with the survey and
sale ot the public lauds be prohibited by law from
becoming interested in its purchase. He also ad
vortsto the irregularities and inequalities produced
by the numerous and dissimilar existing psnsiou
law?, and recommends some important modifies
tion with a view to uniformity, and also to restore
the system somewhat to the orgiunl design of its
projectors, and to increase its benefits ard restrict
its operation to those whoare reai y and legitimate
Jv deserviug objects of governmental favor aud
protection.
He renew* his recommendation of a biennial ex
aminstion cf invalid pensioner.-, and cites the sin
gular fact, that while applications are numeroae
und eonsteu-ly being presented for an increase cf
pension on account, of alledged increase of disa
bility, but two instances have occurred cf a volun
tary tcknowledgmeLt of a diminution cf the dis
; ease or wound for which the pei.sion was original
| ly granted.
i Tne Department has been eminently successful
! in ferrettiog out and bringing to punshmeut the
perpetrators of frauds od the Pension Bureau. Up
j to the 80* h of September last, and since the 4 h of
March, 1858, thirty person- have been indicted.
' Os these, eleven have been convicted; niLe have
tore.ted their recognizances and fled; one lias
died; one oum milted suicide; two have eluded the
officers of the law, and six await trial.
Oa the 81st of March, ISSB the enormous turn
of **48,475.80 was in the hands of agents for p*y
ipg pensions alone. This new financial system
has enabled the Secretary ot the Interior to call
in this amount, so that on the 80th of June last
thos* egenta on y had on haud tne aggregate sum
of *ByB.BI-1.20—a amount amply s- ffi;ient for the
prompt payment of pensions liable to ba ottlie l for
until other advances are made.
Appropriation*are urged for various improve
menu-in the District of Columbia, and the
erection of firet rool buildings for the accommo
dation of the State, We-, Navy *ad Interior De
partments, and te -ugge.-ts tha: a better applica
t on of a portion cf tLe large aznouot new in the
Treasury cannot be made. He also suggests the
propriety of douat tg to the ciiy authorities for
educational purposes ad the vacant city lota which
may nut be needed for public pur[o-<fas.
The work on the Little Falls Bridge, and like
wise th* Ii sane Asylum, has been vigorous y
prosecuted under the able and acoomp ished offi
cer- re-pect.vely in charge of them. The latter
will soon be ready to receive the patents lor whose

'■ “ President Pi«»*e has achieved a victory, bnt fce
j has no: made a paste. Tbe Wbi/ pari? were de
feated, bnt are neither humbled cor subjugated ”
Tois* pitc’ ot uaparalielei inso’ence 'uttered
by the oljiciai organ of the Administration a: the
very time it was day by day, reprodao ng iu it*
own columns articc* from leading Whig j mrnal>
in aii parts of lb* Uoiou approving of the tone
and »eu time ate ol President Pietce’s inaugural
Address. ...
•‘Toe Adraimat.ation,” paid the organ, in the
same article from which the above extract ia taker,
“fans bad the go<*> fortase thus far to win the
almost universal apnian*e and support of the coun
try. They who were most zealous and violent in
opposing he election of Pre iceut Pierce are cow
enher terteat iu profes*iona ot approbation, or
else are siieut in their discontent.”
Not even these ferven. “professions of approba
tion,” on the part of the Whig press, sufficed to
mollify in the slightest degree the inr olent tone of
the “conquering hero*” special and confidential ;
organ. Iu another of the same article, speak
ing of the Whig party, it said:
“ Their present p* teasious of good will towards
the Administration will be understood by tho wary
as an evidence ot hostile purpose and an indication
of fnturetroub'e.” .
Thu* insultingly RparniDg all Whig expressions
ot approbation, aud as if determined, if it could,
to kick tho Whigs into an organized opposition to
the Administration, the ottuiai organ ot that Ad
ministration, five diy •' afterwards, came out with
an article teeming with the vilest calumnies against
the leaders ot the Whig party, that ever polluted
the columus of a political journal. Here ia a speci
men :
From the Washington Union of April 15, 1858.
“There is a o>aso of meu in our country who
look with awe and reverence upon kings and
prince*, who cannot realize the growth and powei
ot the United dialog fcd who canuot briug them
selves to believe that r.rople republicanism should
dare to raise its eyes 'fora the ground when in the
presence of royalty $ but they arc passing f:om
the stage and losifig'i-.e:r influence. For the last
four years they winded the executive power of the
nation, and wie dec. ; m such a manner as to
confirm foreign p~i ; ' J «tue belief that our citi
zaaa should •
ty.”
On a previous occasion -he same spirit of de
traction. and Oilumny found vent through the same
organ in the following atiooious libel:
••The amiable facility, the weak and timid sub
serviency and the disposition to submit to au>
inj 'Btice ralhor than resent th> most flagrant out
rage, which have characterized the conduct of the
f President FnlmoroV] Administration, have been
copied with the truest fidelity by their subordi
nates in the Capitals of Europe.”
On another occasion, the same organ declared
that tb6 “fear of Great Braitain has Log been the
characteristic of W big statesmen.”
Ou another, it efi* cted to “deplore the abject
subserviency and poltroonery of tho [las: Whig]
Administration, iu 1 s conduct of the loreigu rela
tions of the country.”
tSnch was the tune played by the central organ of
the Democratic party only a year or two ago. A.-
together different, however, is the music it dis
courses now— 7 w>ir, that its party has beeu shiver
ed into fragments,end the Administration, thrown
into a feeble minority, wants help from tbe Whig-,
whose “expression of approbation” it so scornfully
reptile'* not two years since ! Now , this same or
gan tries to be “sweet upon a “large” portion of
the Whig party. It has found out that there are
“conservative Wh'g*,” and endeavors to “comb
it over” them in hone>ed tents like ttie following :
From the Washington Union , cf N.v. 28.
“There 1* a large el>t*a of couse vauvo whigs in
diff-jrent parts of the Union who have not, we feel
sure, allowed the po itical events of the pft k t few
momhs to pass wit >ont serious reflection. There
gent.emen tn distinct from aspirants like .Mr. Cia\ -
ton, or demagogues like John M. Bolts, who waich
the moving of the waters only to see how many
valuables may be thrown upon the shore, and who
arc ready to adopt any f *g, or any name, eo t hat
success is in the prospects of the fu ure. The
voice of Henry Clay and Daniel Webster is not
yet extinct. The proud md lofty Rpintof the old
en times has not oesn lost. The examplo of tho
glorious dead is not in their graves. Faction ex
peels too much, when, in theliush of a newly won
victory—when, clad, like the Mock Duke in the
piay, iu the garments vt a responsibility to which
it is uucqua'—it demands the tealty and the sub
mission of men who nave been bold aud brave
enough to d*re jast snch nlluonces before. Will
liufus Choate, (remembering the dyDg prayer o>
Webs'er,) will Wbliam App.eicn; will Robert
Wiiilhrop, aud all that j a>s of thorough 1 reu
whigs, train in the ranks that are led by such shal
low demagogues as Gardner and Burlingame ?”
“Are you there, oid Truepenny ?” Is ibis Dun
iel Webster, whoso voice cx4inp!e, and “dji g

Daniel Webster, whe was Becretury ol State
during Mr. Fnlmorc’s Administration, and whoet
‘ alject servility and poltroonery ” in lis “conduc
ot me foreign relations ot me country,” you so
deeply deplored cot a gnat while ago # Is he
the same Daniel We bat r, of whom the Geinocr »tk
candidate for Governor of Tennessee, in May 1851,
was speaking, when he said, ho would “about as
soon go for Van Bureu ami bumner for the Prosi
doncy and V*oa Presidency as tor Fillmore aud
WebwH-r?”
And you recognizs Rufus Chouto, and William
Appleton, and Robert Winthrop ssgentlemen front
whom you have reasou to expect, and would be
very glad to receive 4 aid aud comfort” in tht
present trials and tribulations of the A ruin lat r a
lion 1 W hen will wonders ceuso ?
But heur the official organ a little further in its
piteous appeals for Whig help :
“Will the men who fought Reward i New York

wdiing to bow their necks to tbe yoke that is offer
cd by Ullruan- end the Bar Ver . and ihe
Soroggeesknd tho A ige! Gabriels! Will Jos>nb

edged giantsas their leaders—how far will they b
willing to recoguize.be mandates of such southern
men as are willing to adopt the secret party, cov
e red, as it is, with the nightshade of abolitionism ?
There is one element upon which all such gentle
men as we have named can stand. 1: is that ot
devotion to the Union—it ia that of reverence for
the constitution. Bot that element, however pro
fessed by a few, (b.cause Boward ia not a know
nothing,) ia lost sight of in the overpowering abo
lition majority oi the new party. li. exis’s iu
bread, bold and delant vitality in tho democratic
party ; aud whether national whigs oorae to that
party or not, it is certain that they canuot desert
the princip e without dishonoring themselves.
When th y see how many good and truemon o*
the North have been swept out of of places which
they adorned by a proscriptive party—when they
see mo*t ot those democrats who have acted witL
them stricken down simply because they were prom
inent ana useful, and, in most‘*a*e», Hi in ply be
cause they were true to the constitution—they
will hardly be raudy, we fancy, to accept for then
leaders such partisans as John M. Clayton and
Thaddeus Stevens.
Why, what an array oi sound, “conservative”

thinks tho couutry may securely rely, and npOL
whom itself reli s! tic w cm it do so ? If “ the

Extract if a IsUer to the Chicago Tribune .
Anotner Ctapier ci Polygamy —Mormon Expo
nent* by a iiiorfflan.
When I came to Desere r , there were not ninny
who were iu the enjoyment of more than one wi e,
and many or most of the new comers were opposed
to it. But as they saw how beautifully ami har
monionsly those families lived where there were
two or more wives, their prejudices gradually gave
way, and among no cl/as was this change more
apparent than among ihe women. At the present
time, if a vote were taken upon the subject, I ven
ture to say that nine out ot every ten women who
have iivod here two years, would busudn our pre
sent so id system in this particular. They are
more for it than the tneD, for upon many ot the
latt°r it entails heuvy hardens, though the truth
is, our wive* in Deseret make no pretend us to be
ing fine ladies, their highest ambition beirgto he p
their aud their poor brothers and nis
ttrs iu the Loid'a Church. There are very f* w
men here who have more than five wive?, and a
Urge part have bu. one, while some have none.
For myself, I have three. Sarah Ann, yonr c-u
sin, whom I married in York State, has the larg
o*t share of my affs itions, and take precedence
in tho manegauiej? Os the toaseho d. Two years
ago I married Miss &., formerly of Ohi", and »u©
has charge ot the education of the children and
attending to the clotting. My other, which I took
three months age, is from near Hamburg, Germs
ny. She is larger than Sarah Abd or Elizabeth,
(the name of my second wife,) and, 1 s*y it without |
tnvidiousness or impropriety, i» decidedly very
handsome. Her person is of good tize, very
r.'und full chest, bright flaxen hair, and a soft :
blue eye. She enters into tho duties of her new
1 situation with wonderful aitc ity, and is very hap-
I py } as are also Sarah Ann aud E iiz beth.
There is none of that jealousy—that disposition
; to tear out each oih- r*» h ir—whies you have pro
bably imagined would show it3*L in such case*. —
We are aii looking forward to the time when w
! shall be together constantly ia our little Eden,
where we cm work for ea *b other, and raise oar
i children in “the fear and admonition of the Lord.’
You may be surpiised at this; but yoa will be still
more so, when 1 assure you that all my present
wives are .nxiou* that 1 should get another—one
who is fitted by education, and physically adapted
t take cnarge of ihe busineeßol the dairy. With
anch an arrangement of my houshold, every depart
ment, ou a patriarchal scale, world have a head to
it, and be governed in order. I have no iuclina
tiou to comply on ray ow 1 aecouui as I am wel;
ratified with those 1 ow have, but if I >-hi.uld do
so, t will be entirely out of regard ior them.
My daughter Louisa, is eugeged to he married
to a man from .Pennsylvania, who bin already a
wile a id three cbild r en. it did not entirely meet
my aeprobation, but I did not iuterpese a single
objection, so long as size was sat it 11 ja, and the
marriage would be in a high degree honorable to
her, as well as advan ageous in a worldly view.
Now, my dear sir, you will say, what is to come
of all this! Let me tell yoa whai be* come of it.
Ia Deseret there are no libertines with tbeir para
mours, uo bouses of prostitution, no cases of eo
duction, or those which disturb tht* peace of
families in the States under your laws. Here
every woman can have what <j*>d intended she
should —a has-band —and every man that want* to,
may have a wife. ADd the woman that is the
wif3 of a man who haa one or more wives is
more fortunate than if she were the only one, for
in case of plurality the duties of the hoase are
divided. The children here are pretty numerous,
I mc6i admit, but this should and does contribute
happiness r t> the true follower* of the Lord, from
whom w< h ve learned that oar duty is to multiply
and repk nisi. But, mark ihi*, there are no ille
ultimate children in Deseret, no children of shame
who are ashamed ot ibeir mothers, and a disgrace
to any but the lowest eocieiy.
I shall not enter into an argument to attempt to
oonvince von that your aentanem* in regard to the
marriage relation aretno results of aduoation aud
wrong I wish yo Q could live cere a year or two,
however and I have not a doubt your acu would
•kow you had changed year opinion.

A Discovery W outh P atbonhin g.—The Cham
ber’s Journal says:
“Recent discovery has shown that remarkable ef
fects can bo produced on plants by interposing col
ored glass between them i.ud the sun. Blue glass
Accelerates grow*h ; aud Messrs. Luwsoo, of Edin
burgh, have built u stove-house glased v?i»b
glatir, in which they lest the value of seeds for sale
>r export. The practice is to sow a hundred
-seeds, and to Judge ot the quality by the number
that gorminats; the more, of cour.se, tho better.
Formerly ten days or a fortnight elapsed white
waiting for the germination of tho sends; but in
tho bl-to stove-bonse two or three dnyu suffif'e—
a saving of time worth, so says tho firm, 600 a
year.”
This use of color in tho growth of plants is not
altogether new, but its application to the germina
tion of seeds, has not, psrhsps, commanded the
attention it deserves. But all scientific floricultu
rist* must bo familiar with the experiments of
co.ored glasses upon the palm plants at the Kew
maidens, and tho ‘gratifying pucce»s that attended
•he experiments. Varying climates will give vary
ing results-just as solar rays vary. Thus, for in
stanc**, the beer, rose fanciers in this coun ry find
it dillicult to bring oat a;*y of the improved French
yellow roses, in the perfection of color tney disp'ay
in France or England. Wo have never seen a
Chr-matella, or cloth of gold rose, that cams up
to description of color given it by Rivers, tho
S-.giish florist. But uo one who know* him would
cull in question trissta'ement. We have no doubt
:hat many of the rich tints of flowers of other
slimes, could bo made ferlect in this country by
properly colored glasses, just a* the palms of Kew
were made by colored gla res, tc rival the palms of
the tropics. The subject opens a w,de fieid of ex
periments that W' til i richly remunerate an inquir

Tuf Ostend Congress.—Tho reso.ution ofinqci

manifestation of awl o'esc me determination to
cneek that unauthorized inter erence in the allairs
of foreign nations, in wnioh one at leastof our min
ister abio d has so strong a proclivity to indulge.
Whether the resolution be referred to the coirmit
on foreign afluirs, adopied in its original form,
or finally r«j cud, will but partially affect its bene
DC'al influence. That result has already been
reached by it* introduction, by the earnest corn-id
eraiiou it evoked, and by the largo vote which sua

DISOOVfcKY OF THE BODIES OF Sl3 JOHN FRANKLIN
and us ui-w.—A dec patch reee.vtd at New V„rk
irom Albany reads:
Albany, idee 8, 1854.—The Lake Superior Mi
ning News, of tbe 27th ult, says:
“We ie&rn by private letters that the bodies of
Sir John Franklin and nie men have been found
by Dr. Kane's party, completely frozen, and ia a
per feat -»iate of preservation.
It adds—“Ttout from tbe authority from whence
we have gained this information, we have the right
to believe it as perfectly true.”
Notwithstanding tbe apparent authority with
which this report is given, we fear it lacks proba
bility. Our last intelligence from Dr. Kuue left
him search ng tbe region* north of Smith’a Sound,
and it is highly improbable that he ebb old since
then have found his way eo far Sooth a-? the B ick
River district, which the discoveries of Dr. Rue
Dave indicated as tile place where Franklin and
hia paity perished. Dr. Kane’s intention also was
to proceed in an entirely d.lf ;reot direction. Still
it is not impossible either, that Dr. Rie had been
erroneou“2y informed in relation to the region in
which Franklin perished, or that Dr. Kane, re
ceivicg inti mall, ns similar to those giv«n to Dr.
Kae by the E-qmmanx, had directed his search
toward Ba-k River, and been rewarded for bis tod
b» tneae oiii discovery of tbe remains of the long
lost voyager*. The confirmation of the despatch
will be anxiously looked for, and we shall rejoice
to find ths* our countryman Las achieved the Don

Russia Draining England of Cold —The Phil
adelphia L• dger nays that’t is a curious fact that
the blockade of the Russian harbors, s:> fur fretn re
during the exports ot Russia, has only diminished
the capacity of Eng’and to pay for these exports
otherwise than in g>ld. This extraordinary result
bus been brou jf t about by th Russians shipping
their hemp, hides, tallow, &o, from Prussian
port*i, while they have not reooivod io exch inge,
us formerly, their raw otton, o-tieoand sugirfrom
the London merchants. Thus while England has
received thirty five million do'tars worth of Russia
produce since toe commenc mout of the war, she
Las given Russia but six millions worth of goods
in return. For all these ar io’es from Russia
Er g aud has been obliged of course, to pay double
priors, so that besidos beirg unable to barter off
her own ordinary share of tropical products for tho
productions of her enemy, she is compelled to con
tract nearly twice as great a debt usual in order
lo obtain the quantity of Eusiun articles sho res
quires. Sho is therefore obliged to lisbu rse gold
to an unprecedented araouut, and thus !urni*h*B
tho Czar with these very sinews of war in which
he is molt deficient. The Lodger says:— “This
condition of affairs is attracting tho a'tontion of

for a return to th3cld practice of soiling enemi* h
goods in neutral bottoms. The large quantities of

answer but liille better to make war with Prussia,
for other avenues for Russian hemp aua tallow
will open. The truth is that England is id what
is technically c.ilied “a fix,” in reference to till *
muttsr, and will probably have to pay Russia, as
‘ong as the war lasts, from twenty to twenty five
millions . f dollars in specie, for necessary tallow,

which you distinguish between a local mail service
and a great mail service.
Ou the part* of tho Road upon which wo carry
whatjou term looul mails, wo perform a huger
mail service than upon the other portions ot tho

are made daily by Mail Trains, or twenty oivht
trips w ekly. ’Between K.ngsvillo and Columbia
wo make three trips daily, one of which sends for
ward the Northern Mail ffoo hours in advance.—
While from Kingsvil.e to Augusta there are ouly
two trips s day performed, or fourtecu trips por
week. The rra 1 from the City of Charleston we
think oeuuo be termed a 1 cal mail. Tho busi
ness ofthe cty itself, with itsex’unaive postal con

Havana and Key West Mails a’so over our

Bank of Atlanta.
Dye’s Bank Reporter, said to be reliable au
thority, has tbe following caution in reforence to
tbe Bank of Atlanta, which wo transfer to our
columns:
Lock Out l —Atlanta Bank, Georgia.—Wo did,
a long while ago, give a s ato men t of the i-tt'drs ot
this institution, when the circulation was s£oo,<’oo.
Since that, time, no report has boon mude, but it is
thought by many that the cirou alion has reached
$1,000,000, or thereabouts. This kind of kiting,
ooka to uh, should pass under public review.
George Smith, tho owner ot it, ha* given us no
etuleinenf. of its affairs. This celebrated bunker
seoms vory ami itijut’in holding so many banks
nnder his band; he certainly was vory cnrly in his
endeavors to exercise his baud on the Free Bat ks
of Indiana, it was very evrlv the tame commenced.
He should hive cast out the beam from his own
eye first; but wi:6ii we see him having - Bmk of
America in Washington, one in Milwaukee, and a
stock secured bank in the city ol Chicago, (the
Bank of America,) negin to issue hie unsecured
issues, these many extensions look like endeavor
ing to bide financial dircrepancieß. lie hr*.H uiude
it too much a business to keep drawing tat com
from tho Indiana and Illinois Free Bunks, by hav
ing such extension by means of hia bunks so fur
separated ; but hia discernment in cudeavors of
this kind, to monopolize the Dunking privilege®,
hoems necessary lo ptse under our inspection.
The merchants cl tho oity of Peoria, Illinois, tried
to move in lo id phalanx to stop this aggressive
pow&r. Tho merchants of Illinois say, 44 What will
booms of the safety of these i sues in case of the
death of Geo/ff* Srl'itn? It is not like banks where
theciirec'ors and stockholders ure personally liable:
we are not secured for ihe heavy amount issued.”
Tho occurrence of sixty thousand dollars being
presented, und hi» having to send to Augus a by
the railroad for coin, shows a weakness incompati
ble with prompt, much lea* heavy bauking. Ilous
os have kept up for many years, and paht punctu
ally, and boon still worth LOlliing. He had to
ko. p counting slow the small portion ot gold in
his vaults, till the train arrived trom Augusta.
Suppose ho had evon the coin in bia vaults, then
he wculd have Lad only enough to pay 10 or 17
cents on a dollar This, to us, looks iiko reckless
banking. The public would like an explanation of
Mr. Hmiih’s affrirs. It Mr. Smith is right, wo
would be pleased to state the lact; tho public ure
certainly exceedingly anxious.
A general bankruptcy is at band 1 ’Tis wrong to
disguise it. Telegraphic dispatches and letters are
constantly reaching us ol the failure of banks. Too
much caution cannot be exercised in the receipt ol
paper money.
Principle*, and ihslr Uonarquancaa.
Tho admission of Mr. Harris, out of the Demo
cratic candidHtes in Illinois, that, under the “pop
ular sovereignty” principle, the Mormons of U.-h
will be entitled tocomoin'.o the Union with their
dome die institution of polygamy, has created some
inquiry in regard lo the consequences of the doc
trine, if exercised iu its widest lutitude. Upon
this point the Bt. Louis Jntoll genen remarks :
“Squatter sovereignty may look very well in the l
üb-tracf, but when you begin to apply the princi j
' pie it i» found to invol e absurdities and cootrs- j
! dictions which must torce men who rasped th* in I
selves and the institutions of their country either
toubandon the principle altogether, or to eouunt
themsel'.es with the s’.upid, irrational coarse too

»l p • ing it only to tho*** cesea in which it will w--rk

admitted, hardy thoorit-U will ulwh>s be found
ready to apply it in away from which those by
whom it whh once Itid down f.r a pariicular pur
would shrink wi.h honor.
“Grant that men have a right t> assemble on tbe
territory ot the United buttes, form their institu

miU'al principles ot chrisiiau moraiiy upon which

puddle out of the way of some victorious enemies
and make a settlement on our coast, and there iu

ficiency greui to give them a :i/hl to admission
on what principle should their strong ini-ided
view and sur>triority to our prejaano ag«*i .• t eut
ing humHa flesh operate against their admission
into tne Union ?”
The Intelligencer curries out the illustration in
all its j htt-es, und adds:
“Twenty years ago it would hardly have been
snpposcd that, in so .nhort a time, pelyg my would
be openly practieed and permitted in our lerritoiry.

Arrest or the Fuoitive Tkli.kb of tbe Ooeak
Bank—The New York Times of Friday morning
says:
For a long time, several po’ics oflloera of this
oity have b.eu active'y engaged in various purls
of the South and West, in search of the absconding
teller of tue Ocean Bank, Wtn. B. McQnigun, who
decamped with some 150,000 belonging to the In
stitution. It was supposed tbe defaulter was
wending bis way southward, and the steamers
irom New Orleans, Havana and elsewhere, have
been waichod very closely. It seems toat <#ioar
Gci” -•*»but. whert*. I*l
of the lugtfivr, wh ? ©h led them to visit Jcr-ey
Oitv at an early hour yesterday morning. The
accused arrived there in the three o’clock train
from Philadelphia in company with his brother,
and both parties put up at a hotel under tho name
of Brewster. The proprietor having seou McGuir
ken before, immediately recognized him as the
teller ot the Ojoau Ba..k, and forthwith gave in
forms ion to uti cilicer, by whom he whs arrested
and conveyed to this oity, when ho wus taken be
fore J id go Beebe for examination.
On smirching his carpet bag, it was found to
contain a brace of Colt’s b‘x barreled revolvers,
also a bag containing $2 800 in gold and a quantity
of paper. On his person was found a pocket book
containing about sioo, and a gold wa oh. Mr.
John K Brady appeared for the prisoner, who
stated that ho was not ready for uu examination,
and that lie would hko a postponement until Satur
day. O. W. Siuriovant and James K. Whitney,
who appeared for the bank, being engaged on
that day, they postponed it until Monday. A geu
tle nan appeared to make a claim lor the watch of
S2OO, but Judge Beebe thought it was best to first
see these gentlemen, and if so the watch could be
returned oil Monday. Tho prisoner was then
temporarily committed until tho duy of hearing,
lie appeared very nervous and greatly excited.
A Bank Story.—The New York Times telle tho
following :
We have hoard of a bank «tory which is said to
relate to a time somewhat die*ant, and to u bank
within on.) hundred miles ot Wall Slroet, end
which we report just r.s w« heard it, ornittiug
nair.ts The cashier of fbobuik found himself
short in his accounts about $200,000, at a litno
when ho forsaw an inevitable disol >sure from an
examination of accounts, which wus ordered to take
pi ce wi’hin a short time. Not seeing any escape,
he consulted a friend ot his who was an at’orney,
asking tor his advice. Tho attorney, on ascertain
ing that tho cnshier had no proporty that was
available to convert into cash to cover the de
ficiency, recommendel him to take $200,000 more,
and then, when tho discovery took place, he would
have something to negro ate with, so as to induce
the directors lo refrain from making a public ex
posure.
The cashier took his advice, abstracted tho ad
ditional Bum, and when tho discovery took place,
eoufessod his error, and to’d the directors that te
would get hiR friends to make some amends, provi
ded they would not punish him. After sonv ne
gotiation, ho compromised with them for SIOO,OOO,
and lie retired Irom his situation with a fortune of
s’oo,noo. The cashier in qnestiou whs cOOttpquent
ly respected, and he died, wo believe, within the
current year. The directors never mude known
thoir lo.'S, and n°ithor the stockholders of the
bank nor the public knew anything about it.
Panberoub COUNTERFEIT.—That exoodont finan
cial periodical, Monroe’s Reporter, tor this mouth,
contains the eufcjoined uolito of a very dangerous
counterfeit:
‘•We have received by mail a votv good imita

Traps Table.—The New York Times has been
fnrni-bed with the advance sheets of some of tbe
tables which ocompany the Annual Repot of tho
Secretary of tho Treasury. The table VII of Et-"

A lottcr from Sun Fraao.soo relates a curious in
cident that occurred there recently. Her Britannio
Majesty’s exploring ship Plover trrivod at San
E/anchco a short tune since, from the Polar Sea,
wlif-.ro ahe had ice bound since 1847 ;
When ahe left San Francisco, some years ago, it
was a mere trading atatiou, resorted to by a tew
ves.-oUin pnr ua of hides, and the town or place
contained only u few ad» ba houses. Tho captain
I and crow exp noted to find the same ftmi Francisco

I &re suited into the bay without i pilot, end ap

Ancient Inhabitants of Nebraska.—On tbe Up
por Miseouri there exisu a trac ot ojuntr, known
by the name of Mauvaises Terros, or bad lands ;
at cno tira**, probably, the m of an immense
l.tke, in which porhhed thousands of auima'a
having now no rep resen tat ves on earih. P- ap
pears that tbe waters of this immense pood were
removed b7 some convu’Bion of nature or other,
and the sediment at the bottom becama indura
ted :
The portion of tbe valley thus excavated forms
1a surface of ninety miles in length und thirty in
breadth. Tho remains of animals which have
lived and breathed long bsfore the advji.t of man
on earth are here found in such Abundance rs to
j form ot this t act an immense cemetery of v^ rt «“
bra'a. The bones nro said to completely petrifi id,
- and their cavities filled with siiicious matter.--
Thev are preserved in various degroes of mtegri

T*vo remarkable specie* of rhinoceros—the first
ever found in America—were discovered here, and
«|*o a sort ot panther, smaller than the prepent va

naw alive. We know, then, that there were once
individuals in Nebraska as curious, and as
etrangcdy shaped, and as pugoacioas at any squat
ter whom the present great rush of immigration
will carry thither.
English War Expenses.—The whole cost to
Eogland during the Continental war—from 1808
to 1815 inclusive—was £1,150,729/150, or some
what about $5 798,646,280. This gives an avernge t
one year with another, of nearly filly throe millions
storing per aunum. But in the later years of
the cement the cost was heavier. It ran thus:
