Mrs. LeVert’s “SouvenirN* of Travel. M
No work of recent issue, from the pen of a South
ern writer, has been more eagerly anticipated than
this. In direct proportion to highly wrought expec
tations, is the severity of the criticisms lavished
since its appearance in some quarters—criticisms
hardly fair, yet not difficult to account for, since it
is rare that extravagant hopes are ever realized ;
and when we come into possession of their objects,
instead of exclaiming, “The half has not been told, ’’
we are prone to undervalue them because they do
not tally with our preconceived standard. Still,
another reason for this evident disappointment, may
be found in the hackneyed nature of the themes
which the “Souvenirs” treat.
Now it is scarcely more to visit Europe than to
take a trip North, aud from the multitude of travels,
letters and sketches, furnished by the prolific pens
of tourists, seized with the desire for writing the
moment they tread foreign soil, the subject is ex
hausted, affording little room for originality of
thought and description. Those who pursue it must
in the main,
“Pour themselves along tne veins of others,
And achieve mere lifeless imitations ; ’
repeating only what has been w’ell told a hundred
times before.
These disadvantages premised, it must be admit
ted that the “Souvenirs” are genial records, evi
dently the work of a womau of taste, sensibility and
talent, who adds to refinement of feeling warmth of
heart aud gracefully weaves her fugitive impres
sions into flowing prose. Dealing in sparkles, they
are sparkles that warm even as they fly, and w
catch the enthusiasm of her passionate love for the e
beautiful in nature and in art that in many scenes
appeals so strongly to the asthetical and emotional
part of our being. Her pages are unstrowu by
subtle observations nnd profound reflections, like
those of Margaret Oseoii; unadorned by the dra
matic force of Fanny Kemble's glowing imagery ;
but ueither are they marred by the deistical phi
losophy of the former, or tinctured by the morbid
melancholy that painfully imbitters the vein cf
the latter in her Italian “Year of Consolation.”—
With naivette and fidelity she literally transcribes
just what she saw and what she felt, abjuring grave
moralizing, and bidding facts and incidents speak
for themselves. Thus she introduces the episode of
poor little Rafaello, of tbe Zingali girl, and others
of a kindred type.
Some of her word-pictures are colored with a
vividness that leads one into the midst of the scenes
she delineates.
With her we wander through the charmed groves
of Pallavisini, tread in her company the streets of
deserted Cordory, and list the murmur of those over
arching vines, “waving eo mournfully in the
breeze watch with her the eruption of Vesuvius
and as the midnight hours roll, see the “ever-blazing
fires, and the crimson river flowing down the moun
tain.”
The gay, fashionable part of Mrs. LeVert's read
eis will find their taste suited in the ample descrip
tions she gives of balls, fetes, and amusements. The
theatre, operas, ctmcerts, follow one another in
quick saoeeesion, anfl Parisian belles and Italian
signoras figure conspicuously. She seems indeed,
to use her own expression, to have “floated on the
topmost crest pleasures waves.” The amateur
artist and the connoisseur in painting will find
something to interest in her visits to galleries and
studios.
Her descriptions of the ceremonies in Rome dur
ing “Holy week.’ are graphically rendered, and so
strong is the tolera ion of her pen towards the mum
mery and superstition she witnessed, that one is in
clined to think had she lingered much longer among
the grand Cathedrals of the seven-hilled city, sur
■endering herself to the voluptuous spells—thrown
around their dim aisies and gorgeous f&Des by the
spirit of music and of art. she had forgot substances
in shadow, and been led captive by the poetry,
rather than by the reality of Religion. Tet more
befitting the reverential awe she expresses, than the
light ievi yof colder natures. Faith, even though
in such an error as Catholicism, is preferable to tie
dark, blank of a sceptic mind, a doubting heart.—
Religious faith—a beam amidst earth's gloom, still
Tet it grow.’
One cf her critics pronounces her ostentatious in
the frequent mention of her ckarit ids. “Evil be to
him who evil thinks.
It is better to forget the apparent parade of the
gift in sympathy with the generosity tnat prompted
it, wishing with the unfortunates whom eshe fed in
the pasadevthat “ joy may come to the good heart,
peace never .save it.” Others have launched many
sneers at the nnmber of familiar allusions to tilled
personages contained in her volumes. In this re
spect she errs comparatively little. It is singular
that the most of American travellers seem to think a
gakxy of Lords and ladtes, Counts and Counteases
indispensably to give eclat to their pages, witness, for
instance. NP. illis.andscoresofothers, ail anxious
to enlighten as as to the position they held in foreign
circles On the other hand, whenever one of the
•'nobility ” crosses to our side of the water, the very
persons who ridiculed the pinchact of their country
men abroad flock to do him honor. Alas, for the
genious of Republicanism, when a coronet, or a
gilded coat of arms flashes athwart its vision.
While there are passage* in the ‘Souvenirs.’ that
we can but fee! had better have remained in the
privacy of the Journal. Asa whole, they axe plea
sant volumes, containing graceful sketches, pietur
eeque and lively paragraphs that do cedi! to her
ab titles and accomplishments. Let the critic be
generous as well as just, and award Mrs. LeVert
her mead of praise—the first ever culled by one of
Georgia's daughters in this department of literature.

Corretpondence of the Baltimore Patriot
Letter from Washington.
Washington, Dec. 12,1857. —The 35th Congress
has now been iu session its first week, and there has
been more excitement during tbe. few days that it
has been in session, than in the first week of any
Congress since the foundation of the Government.
It is true, that there was a good deal of billing aud ’
cooing upon the part of Mr. Douglass iu a portion
of his celebrated speech, but ere he cessed, became
up boldly to the attack, and he is now occupying a
position “of antagoiiDm to the administration, which
is so decided that the breach never can be healed.—
Whatever may have been theoecret understanding
between the leading Democratic politician, North
and South, as to the interpretation which was to be
fiven to the Kansas Nebraska bill, pending the
’residential cauvesa. Mr. Dou lass is too astute a
politician not to know that if he were to man tain
any other than the Northern version of that celebra
ted bill, he must fail of a re-election to the Senate,
and place himself in a very haxardous position as a
candidate for the Presidency. The course which he j
has taken will have a tendency to unite the entire
■ North : and I think that sixty days will scarcely have
elapsed before the Administration party will find itr
self in the minority in the ,Hnu3e of Representa
tives, and, very probably, in the Senate. There is
to be a war among the Giants, and each succeeding
day will only tend to widen tbe breach between
those who have heretofore been the leaders of the
Democratic party.
Mr. Buchanan has evidently thrown himself into
the arms of the fire eaters of the South, and I want
I you to mark the prediction that his administration
will not have closed before he will recommend the
acqusiticn of Cuba. Indeed, the rumor is rife in
our midst tiiat he openly proclaims that he is op
posed to the admission of any non slave holding
States, unless a slave State shall be admitted at the
same time.
Mr. Douglas has defined his position, and his past
history shows that he is not the man to take a step
backwards. Gov. Walker will soon make known
his views, and when he shall unfold the secret his
tory of bis Kansas mission, then this Kansas-Ne
braska fraud wiifbe exposed to the gaze of a de
ceived and injured nation in all its naked deformity.
Look out for a storm that will rock Democracy
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Democracy, true to its instincts, is oarrying out
proscription with a vengeance. Even the little
pages, many of them the sons of poor widows, are
all to be swept by the board, and the sons of Demo
cratic clerks, who are receiving large salaries, are
the recipients of these crumbs from the public crib.
Qui Vive.
This correspondent is evidently not well versed
iu Democratic history and propensities, and has not
properly estimated “the cohesive prop rties of tbe
public plunder,” or he would never anticipate such
a result as a split iu the party.
As for the Kansas biii, it was “conceived in fraud
and brought forth in iniquity,” and was never de
signed for any other purpose than to deceive aud
betray the South, aud her own sons officiated in the
deed.
Public Meeting.
At a meeting of citizens, in pursuance of a call
in the morning papers, His Honor the Mayor was
called to the Chair, and Daniel 11. Wilcox appoint
ed Secretary.
Gov. Schley offered and read a memorial to the
Legislature, which he supported with a few re
marks. It was then unanimously adopted and or
dered to be signed by the Chairman and Secretary
of the meeting, and forwarded to the Legislature of
Georgia
Mr. Hope offered the following resolution, which
was adopted:
Resolved, That a delegation of six of our fellow
citizens be appointed by the Chair, to repair to Mil
ledgeville aud present to the General Assembly of
the State the memorial just adopted, and to urge on
that honorable body such legislation as will meet
the views of the memorialists.
Under which, the Chairman appointed Hon. John
P. King, Hon. Wm. Schley, Col. Wm. Cummiug,
Dr. I. P. Garvin, Col. Henry H. Cumming and Wm.
H. Starke, Esq.
On motion of J. B. Bishop, Esq., the proceedings
of the meeting were ordered to be published in the
city papers.
The meeting then adjourned.
The following is the memorial as adopted by the
meeting :
To the General Assembly of the State of Georgia :
Your memorialists, residents of the city of Au
gusta, deeply impressed with the importance of
your legislation upon the question of resumption of
specie payments by the banks of Georgia, would
respectfully represent to your honorable body, that,
in their opinion, great, if not unparalleled, evils
would result from any act having for its object the
securement of that end at a period anterior to such
time as will enahle the planting interest to realize
upon the productions of the year.
An earlier resumption would be premature : be
cause not the result of increased ability, aud, of
consequence, devolve upon the banks as an impera
tive necessity, a resort to the most rigid exactions
from their debtors, whose only recourse would be
similar exactions from theirs, aud thus cripple and
paralyze, for a time, the general interests of the
State. Nor will Us disasters end there. The banks,
from the necessity which you have created—the ne
cessity for self-preservation--must cease for a time
—perhaps a long time—to grant the usual and re
quisite facilities for the purchase and shipment of
produce ; causing the price of your great staple, al
ready low, to go still lower ; capitalists will mono
polize it, because they alone can command the re
quisite means for its purchase.
Your memorialists believe that no general inter
est will be promoted, aud that all those hitherto
most cherished will be seriously oppressed, by fix
ing a time for the resumption of specie payments
earlier than June or July next; but they would
most respectfully suggest—aud they do it with the
more confidence because of their conviction that
no action of the General Assembly of Georgia,
based upon an intimate acquaintance with the
moneyed difficulties of the times, would accelerate
a general resumption of specie payments. The
late suspensions were the result of prudential con
aiderations, involving the interests of the people
much more seriously than those of the bauks them
selves.
The odium of suspended specie payment is felt iu
its full aud proper force by the officers of the banka
of Georgia, and will, no doubt, be removed by their
own volition as soon as prudence will justify.
With these views, your memoralmts ask for a
simple aot legalizing suspensions. The Legislature
will assemble again ’ll November, and should the
banks not have resumed, the necessary legislation
can then be had.
It is perhaps due to your memoralists to state that
they are not officially connected with any banking
institution.
B. Conley, Chairman.
Daniel H. Wilcox, Secretary.
Heavy Rains—Destruction of Property.—
has been years, says the Chattanooga
of the 10th inst., since this section of country has’
been visited witli as heavy rains as we have been
having for the last week. It commenced raining
last Friday night, and has continued with hardly an
hour’s interval to the present time. The river is in
booming tide, and farmers are apprehensive with
fear that it may break its banks and cause a general
swamp of ungathered corn, late sown wheat and
property generally. The back-water is so high in
the streams as to cause much destruction and loss
to such as own property thereon. If the rains
should continue a day ldnger, the havoc will be un
imaginable, aud at the time of writing, it is still
pouring.
It is rumored, on the authority of the special
Washington correspondent of the Philanelphia Eve
ning Bulletin, that a rupture lias actually taken
place between the President and Col. Forney, the
latter having been refused admission when he called
at the Executive Mansion. The statement, how
ever, needs confirmation.
Important From Kansas. —A Delegate Conven
tion was held at Lawrence, Kansas, on the 2d inst.,
at which the entire Territory was represented. Gov
ernor Robinson presided. Resolutions were adopted
utterly repudiating the Lecomptou Constitution, and
pledging ceaseless hostility to the entire action of
the Convention which framed it. The Legislature is
asked to pass a law providing that both the Lecomp.
ton and the Topeka Constitutions may be submitted
to the people, in order that they may choose be
tween them. This is an indication that the Free-
State men have faith in their ability to choose or
reject, as they please. Secretary Stanton received
the thanks of the Convention for convening the
Legislature.
Christian Martyrs.— Rev. R. McMullin and
wife, of the Presbyterian mission, and recently mur
dered by toe Sepoys in India, were nat vea of
Gettysburg, Pa. He is said to have been educated
at Pennsylvania College, and to have been a man
of manifold virtues and fine intellectual attainments
Horses for Ten Broeck Course. —The steamer
Gordon, which arrived here on Saturday morning
from Charleston, says the Savannah Republican ,
brought over the horses of Mr. Daniel, of Va.— Kate
Hunter,\Matt tipangler, WickUJje and Sue JUasA
twgfon—all of which will be entered in tbe coming
races over this Course.
Vaccinating Dogs to Prevent Distemter.—A
correspondent of the Medical Times says he had
lately been to see a patient in the country who is
master of a pack of hounds, and he found this gen
tleman s huntsman vaccinating a litter of puppies,
as a preventative against distemper. The hunts
man said he had done this for some years past, that
the success was quite complete, and that the prac
tice was becoming general with huntsmen.
A Fort Destroyed et Fire. —Old Fort Towson
was destroyed by fire a few days ago. It was lo
cated on Red River, in tbe Choetaw Nation. Fort
Towson was formerly occupied by United States
troops, but was abandoned a year or two since to
the Choctaws, it being located in territory ceded to
them.
Indian Slaves in Nebraska. —The St Louis
Democrat says : We are informed by a gentleman
just from Nebraska that some Indians are now held
in slavery by a citizen of that place. The holder of
them is recently from Utah, where he purchased
them from the Mormons, where Indian slavery is
one of the adjuncts of the plurality wife system, and
he now continues to bold them.
Gov. Walker.—Hon. Robert J. Walker arrived
in Washington Friday evening, thus relieving the
apprehensions of those who feared he had taken his
departure for Kansas, in order to supersede the new
acting Governor, Gen. Denver.
Divorces in Indiana.— There were T 4 applica
tions for divorce at tbe recent term of the Fort
Wayne, Ind., Circuit Court, 20 of whichjwere grant
ed. Tbe Jefforsonian says, “Indiana is fast becom
ing the Botany Bay of bad husbands and frail
wives. Our laws should be enforced, or the mar
riage state will become a mere experiment for occa
sion for gratifying temporary lust and passion.’’
Bfecie in the Boston Banks.—A dispatch from
Boston, dated December 11th, states that upwards
of (200,060 in specie was voluntarily paid in the
settlement of balance at the clearing boose by the
banks of that city the previous three days. The
total amount of specie in the banks is nearly $5,-
000,000.
Butter Coming Down.—The Rochester Demo
crat says the quantity of butter in the hands of
farmers is behaved to be larger now than at any
previous time for many years. The beet roll is freely
offered at 16 cents, and firkins and country store
lots are difficult to sell at fourteen cents. Even at
these prices the article will scarcely bear shipment
to the New York market.
The monthly mean of the thermometer at this
place for November was 52.4. degrees. The high

THIRTY-FIFTH CONOXBBS—Ist Session.
SENTAE .777. Dec. 8.
The message from the House, announcing its or
ganization having been received, Messrs. Bright,
Bigler and CoUamer were appointed to join the
House committee to wait on the Pi esident of the
United States.
Mr. Bright subsequently reported that the Presi
dent would immediately send in his annual message.
It was received accordingly and read.
Mr. Douglass submitted au order lor the printing
of the usual number of copies of the President s
Message and accompanying documents; and also
for the printing of fifteen thousand extra copies for
the us- of the Senate.
Mr. Douglass expressed his assent from that por
tion of the message relating to Kansas and the ac
tion of the Lecompton Convention; and at au ear
ly day he should express his views and give the rea
son why he believed that the people of Kansas had
not been left as the organic act declared, perfectly
free to form and regulate their institutions in then-
own way.
Mr. Gwin proposed that the usual number of co
pies of the documents be printed by the printer of
the Senate of the last Congress ; and that ail the
other orders shall be printed by the same person.
Mr. Stewart concurred in tbe views of Mr. Douglass
respecting Kansas. He believed that the princi
ples of the Kansas and Neb ask a act had been vio
lated by the Lecompton Convention.
Mr. Davis, of Miss., was understood to concur in
the views of the President, concerning Kansas.
Mr. Bigler said that after Mr. Douglass should
make his promised remarks, he should reply.
Mr. Stewart hoped the defenders ot the’ President
would explain the latter’s position as early as possi
ble. He regarded the message as lame and impo
tent.
Mr. Mason maintained that if he understood the
President’s message, the President’s position rela
tive to the Lecompton movement was impregna
ble.
Mr. Trumbull denied the authority of the (Legisla
ture of Kansas to authorize the calling of tie Con
vention to frame a Constitution. It was an act of
u-urpation, because there was no authority to autho
rise the Convention.
Mr. Brown, of Mississippi, appealed to Senators
to sleep on this document betore expressing their
opinion upon it.
On his motion the Senate then adjourned.
HOUSE.
Mr. Clemens, by consent, made a personal ex
planation and caused certain correspondence to be
read, in substance:—that Mr Faulkner had written
to him a letter asking for the date on which he had
made certain remarks in caucus, affecting the
character of Mr. Wendell, the public printer. Mr.
Clemens agreed to the suggestion of Mr. Falukner
that Mr. Weudeli should be heard in his own de
fence. The statement, made in writing by Mr.
Clemens, embraced the fact that on Saturday last
he was approached by au individual, who said Mr.
Clemens’ mother should receive a pecuniary con
sideration on either of two contingencies, namely;
that he should vote for Mr. Wendell or not vote at
all. Mi Clemens branded the person as a scoundrel,
but for the seke of the man’s family he concealed
his name. He said he was willingto take Mr. Wen
dell's disclaimer that he (Mr Wendell) never
authorized nor had he any personal knowledge of
any person being employed to procure votes for
him.
Mr. Smith, of Virginia, proposed to postpone the
election of Public Printer, and to appoint a com
mittee to examine into the subject .
This proposition gave rise to a spirited debate
during which Mr. Smith, of Tennessee, said that
Mr. Wendell was in favor of the nominee of the
Democratic caucus—Mr. Steadman.
Pending this subject, the President’s annual mes
sage was received and read.
The debate on the Printer was then resumed,
and the House adjourned without coming to a con
clusion upon the subject.
IN SENATE ~. Dec. 9.
Tbe gallaries of the Senate were densely crowded
when the Senators assembled.
Mr. Pugh gave notice of his intention to introduce
a bill for the improvement of the navigation of the
Ohio river.
Mr. Mason offered a resolution, which was de
bated as passed, inviting the clergymen of this
district to officiate gratuitously as chaplians to the
Senate.
Mr. Gwin gave notice of his inlention to introduce
bills for the construction of the Northern, Southern
and Central Pacific Railroad. Also to organize the
Territory of Arizona.
Mr. Douglass said he was yesterday under the
impression that the President had approved the ac
tion of the Lecomptou Convention, uud under that
impression he felt it his duty to state that while he
concurred iu the general views of the message yet
so far as it did approve or endorse the action of that
Convention he entirely dissented from it, and would
avail himself of an early opportunity to give the
reasons for such dissent. Upon a more careful and
critical examination of the message he was rejoiced
to find that the President had not entirely approved
the action of tiiat Convention.
He was rejoiced to find that the President had not
recommended that Congress should pass laws re
ceiving Kansas into the Union as a State under the
Constitution framed at Lecompton. True the tone
of the Message indicated a willingness on the part
of the President to sign any bill Congress might
pass receiving lvaneaa as a State under that Con
stitution ; but it was a very significant fact that
the President had refrained from any endorsement
of the Convention and from any recommendation as
to the course Congress should pursue in regard to
the admission of Kansas. Indeed the President had
expressed deep mortification aud disappointment
that the whole Constitution was not submitted to
the people of Kansas or their acceptance or rejec
tion.
He then proceeded to show that Congress could
uot properly receive Kansas into the Union under
the Lecompton constitution. Not only the slavery
question but all others must be submitted to the
people ot Kansas, as they are guaranteed the right
to establish all their domestic institutions for them
selves. On this principle the whole constitution
must be submitted to ascertain whether it meets
their approbation.
Mr. Douglas contended that I lie people of Kansas
ought to have an opportunity to vote against the
constitution if they cuose. He compared it to the
freedom election of Paris when Louis Napoleon
was elected. The reason assigned why the people
were not allowed to vote on its acceptance was that
if they had a chance they would vote it down by an
overwhelming majority. He believed they would,
and he thought it was a clear violation of the or
ganic aot to force an obnoxious constitution npon
them.
Mr. Bigler replied, contending that the conven
tion was called according to law, and has been
recognized by the President aud the Governor of
the Territory, amJ it was their right to either make
a Constitution and submit it or not tb tho people.—
If, when the Constitution came to Congress It was
right in itself, Republican in form, ana the people
had fairly decided the slavery question, it would
not be wise to keep the people oi Kansas out of the
Union. Such an excuse would be inconsistent with
the dpetrine of non-intervention. It was the duty
of Congress to look at the question as it came be
fore them, doing tbe beet for the whole country un
der all the ci cumstances.
He thought it beet for the Union and for Kansas
that the State should be admitted at the first al
lowable opportuu ty. It would, however, have
been well for the whole constitution to be submit
ted , but the people outside have no right to inter
fere with the slavery question. He believed that
the people now have an opportunity to say whether
they will be admitted us a free or as a slave State.
A pointed dialogue here took place between
Messrs. Bigler aud Douglas with reference to their
views.
After an executive session the Senate adjourned.

Tbe Matagorda Chronicle says the grass hoppers,
which have recently ravaged the State from Austin

Lost at Sea —Mr. Gko. Carroll Beaob, who left
here for New York, on board the steamer Western
port Thursday last, fell overboard at sea and was
drowned. Mr. B, and the mate were leaning

precipitated into the water. The mate was recover
ed, but every effort to save his unfornate companion
was unavailing. Mr. Beach was twenty-eight years
of age, a native of Michigan, and had been spend

From California and Utah.
By the steamer Isabel at Charleston, we have
later advices from California and Utah. We take
the following from the Alta California of the 20th
nit:
The banking house of Fiske, Sather & Church,
tn Sacramento, have paid all demands agaiust that
farm, and Mr. Fiske is about opening a bank on his
own account. The affairs of the farm of Sather &
Church, in this city, are not yet entirely settled
Quartz mining throughout California is being
prosecuted with unwonted vigor, and much mach
nery is daily shipped from this city and Sacramento
to the various leads recently opened in Nevada,
Amador, and other counties.
River mining owing to recent heavy rains through
out the interior, has been summatily ended lor the
season. Scarcely a vestige of a tiume was left
standing, and the waters rose with such rapidity as
to sweep off an immense amount of other mining
materials. The loss to this class of our population
was incalculably great, inasmuch as they had no
time to save a moiety even of their property, in
consequence of the unprecedented and unexpected
rise ot the streams.
the report of the County Assessors, it appears
that the yield of cereal grains bas been fully up to
the average of former years, iu quantity if not in
quahty, owing to the greater amount of land culti
vated. bar more attention is peid to the raising of
fruit, and the mountain towns, as well as the val
leys, have contributed materially towards swelling
the aggregate to pomological products of our young
it'. • ae re P° rts likewise make a favorable
exhibit ot assessed mining property, particularly of
ditching and quartz operations, in which many large
and paying investments have been been made du
ring the past year.
The affairs cf State govemment are now being
administered economically. There is upwards of one
hundred thousand dollars in the Treasury, and all
demauds against the State are paid in cash. The
reports of the County Treasurers have been made
promptly, and are generally full and satisfactory
The indictments against Bates, alleged defaulting
Treasurer of State, are still undisposed of. Nego
tiations have been for some time pending in relation
to the recovery from sureties of the moneys 6urrep
tiously abstracted from her coffers, but thus far
without success.
The ensuing Legislature assembles in Jauuary,
but already considerable activity prevails at the
capital. The State House is being put in readiuess ;
the Governor elect is fitting up his gubernatorial
residence an j office, and the town is filling up with
aspirants for situations under the new administra
tion. Everything betokens a winter of unexam
pled gaiely at the capital.
A company has been organized to construct a rail
road from Benicia to Marysville, on the west side
of the Sacramento, and the certificates of its incor
poration field according to law.
Our dates from Salt Lake are to, Oct. 2d. The
Saints are more violent than ever, and to judge by
their harrangues in the pulpit, are dete mined to
show fight. It is considered exceedingly unsafe for
any person or companies not Mormons, to travel
through Utah territory. The troops, under General
Johnston were shortly expected,',and the Mormons
had the outposts guarded by faithful sentinels, who
would instantly convey intelligence of the appear
ance of the army to head-quarters at Salt Lake.
There is no disturbance amongst the Indians in-
Honey Lake Valley, or in fact, iu any part of West
ern Utah. The late difficulties were greatly exag
gerated. The Indians exhibit their desire to foster
friendly intercourse with the whites.
A telegraph line has been completed between Be
nieia and Vallejo.
Oregon.— Our dates are to the 12th instant. The
election held on the 9th resulted in the success of
the constitution, the rejection of slavery, and the
exclusion of free negroes. W. S. Ladd has been
elected Mayor of Portland. The last Territorial
Legislature will assemble the first Monday in De
cember.
Affairs in the Gadsden purchase are unusually
prosperous, and the country is settling up rapidly
with a permanent population.
The Apaches are troublesome, and have driven
off considei able Btoek Irom the neighborhood of
Fort Buchanan.
Mrs. Julia Dean Hayne is still playing iu the in
terior to good houses.
The San Francisco Herald says : ,
The amount of State revenue collected from tax
es this year will be more than double that of any
previous year. The amount of taxable property is
much greater, aud tax payers have been somewhat
more prompt than usual.
The financial difficulties which beset our Eastern
brethren do not affect us much, unless it is to make
the people more cautious aud prompt in their busi
ness transactions. Witli one exoeption, the private
banks throughout the State have retained the con
fidence of the community, and consequently no per
ceptible financial excitement has taken place.
By an arrival at San Francisco, dates are re
ceived from Sydney, Australia, to the 21st of Sep
tember.
The Sydney Herald says that the separation of
Moreton Bay from that colony will doubtless be
effected so soon as the preliminaries oau be arrang
ed. The form of government is to be modelled on
that of the Colony of New South Wales, with power
to alter its own Constitution.
The mines are reported as continuing to yield
handsomely.
From Utah.—The Alta Californian publishes ex
tracts from the Deseret N*ws, the Mormon paper
published at Salt Lake City, of whioh we give the
following, as showing the spirit of the Territory:
Utah loyal if let alone.— The principles of
our government are good, and they will ever be
observed and sustained by the inhabitants of Utah;
but an administrative violation of those principles,
for the express puipose ot lot warding the designs of
corrupt paities and enslaving American parties,
will evenluate in the direst civil war upon record,
and the rending of the fairest governmental fabric
ever reared by man. In a free government alljust
powers, whether of taxation, election, representa
tion, or of any other rightful description, are justly
based upon the consent of the governed.
American born and reared, knowing our con
stitutional rights and privileges, (as the Herald ad
mits,) governing ourselves strictly iu accordance
therewith, and daring to advocate and maintain
them, it is not presumable that an intelligent peo
ple will ever tamely bow t© tyranny in any shape.
—I eserl News, Sept. 9 lk.
. CoMrLAINT against Uncle Sam. —To Utah,
where Gov. Young aud the people have, at great
expense, pursued a kind and pacific policy towards
the Indians, a few thousand dollars have been
grudgingly doled out by the Indian Department in
Washington, to keep up an outward show of fair
ness. When refractory Indians have, at times, dis
regarded the most humane treatment, and destroy
ed the property and lives of her citizens, Utah has
fought her own battles at her own expense, though
hundreds of thousands of dollars are wantonly ap
propriated tor, and expended in, Territories, and at
least in one State, for the suppression of Indian hos
tilities, wherein by the admission of the whites
themselves, the Indians are more sinned against
than sinning. And often when Indian Agents in
Utah draw drafts upon Government in payment for
labor employed, farming utensils purchased, other
officially legitimate and proper expenditures, and
even for their own salaries, those drafts are reck
lessly dishonored by the Department, and become
of no more worth than paper rags— lb.
The Spirit in the South.— Elder George Smith
mude a tour through the Southern counties of Utah
to get the people ready for a fight. After his return,
he spoke as follows in the Bowery, on the 13th of
September:
There was only one thing (hat I dreaded, and that
was a spirit in the breast of some to wish that their
enemies might come and give them a ohance to
fight and take vengeance for the cruelties that had
been iufl cted upon us in the States ; they did feel
that they hated to owe a debt aud not be able to
pay it, and they felt like an old man who lived at
Provo, Br. Jameson, who has carried a few ounces
of lead in his body ever since the Haun’s Mill mas
sacre in Missouri, and he wants to pay it back with
usury, and he undertook to preach at Provo, and
prayed that God would send them along, for he
wanted to have a ohance at them.
I have understood that there are half a dozen fel
lows in Provo that have but one wife each, and that
they are not for lighting because they say this trou
ble has come on account of plurality.
Brigham will have no U. S. Troops. —After
Smith had done speaking, as above, Brigham Young
spoke as follows:
This people are free, they are not in bondage to
any government on God's footstool. We have trans
gressed no law, and we have no occasion to do so,
neither do we intend to; but ns for any nation’s
coming to destroy this people, God Almighty being
my helper, they* cannot come here. [The congre
gation responded by a loud amen.j That is my
feeling upon that point.
Ten years ago, the 24th of last July, a few of the
elders arrived here and began to plow and plant the
seeds, to raise food to sustain themselves. Whilst
speaking to the brethren on thaf day, I said inad
vertently, if the people of the United States will let
us alone for ten years we will ask no odds of them.
I did not think about what I had said ten years
ago till I heard that the President of the United
States had so unjustly ordered troops here, and then
I said, when my former expression came to my
mind, in the name of Israel’s God, we ask no odds
of them.
I do not oftei get angry, but when I do'l am
righteously angry, and the bosom of the Almighty
burns with anger towards those scoundrels, and
they shall be consumed, in the name of Israel’s God.
We have borne enough of their oppression and hell
ish abuse, and we will not bear any more of it, for
there is no just law requiring further forbearance
on our part. And lam not going to have troops
here to protect the priest and a hellish rabble in ef
forts to drive us from the land we possess, for the
Lord does not want us to be driven, and has said:
“ If you will assert your rights and keep my com
mandments, you shall never again be brought into
bondage by your enemies.”
Escaped from Jail. —We learn from the La
fayette (Ala.) Tribune, that on the morning of the
4th instant, two prisoners, to wit, Jerre Bayne,
charged with the murder of W. H. Smith, and
Frank Tapley, charged with the murder of Thomas
Robinson, escaped from the Jail of Chambers coun.
ty. The Sheriff has offered a reward of two hun
dred dollars for their apprehension.
Jerre Bayne is about twenty six years old, six
feet high, has black hair, and when he left wore
black whiskers —it is supposed, however, he will
shave them off Bayne has a sallow or dark com
plexion, is rather thin visaged, very erect when
standing, and weighs about one huddred and forty
pounds. He has dark grey eyes, is rather slow
spoken, and, when well dressed, is a man of rather
prepossessing appearance.
Frank Tapley is about thirty years old, five feet
nine inches high, has dark hair, and when he left
wore black whiskers. He has blue eyes, sallow
complexion, sharp nose and Bmall head. He is quite
slender, rather quick spoken and impulsive, and
weighs abouut one hundred and twenty-five pounds.
*DEAtH of’a Gallant Officer. —It is with sin
cere regret that we learn the receiptofa telegraphic
despatch at the War Department yesterday an
nouneing the Death of Col. Wililam Turnbull, of the
Corps of Topographical Engineers—a gailant soldier
and a noble gentleman. He was chief of his corps
under Gen. Scott in Mexico in 1848 and was twice
brevetted for gallant and meritorious conduct, first
in the battles of Contreras and Churubusco, and
secondly in the battle of Chapultepec. Col. T.
was a graduate of West Point, and at the time of
his lamented decease had been in the militaiy ser
vice forty years. He had suffered much from im
paired health during the last year, and died sudden
ly at Wilmington.— Nat. Intel.
Large Shipments of Hogs.— We are informed
by Mr. J. F. Terry, the obliging Depot Agent at
this place, says the Bristol (Tenn.) News of Fri
day last, that there have been shipped eastward on
the .Virginia and Tennessee Road, witnin the last
ten days, sixty-four ear loads of hogs, numbering
3.300 head. About 1,600 will be shipped to-day,
making nearly 5,000 head in ah. We hear of hogs
coming forward from every direction, and the

will greatly exceed that of any previous season.
There has been quite on active demand for hogs
here since ouf last issue, and the price had advanc
ed to $5 u 6.

“Sir : —Annexed is a copy of a proposed agree
ment for the resumption of specie payments by the
banks of this city. The concurrence and co-opera
tion of your bank in this important and most desi
rable object is earnestly solicited. The agreement
will be presented to you on Saturday for signature.
“Your obedient servants,
“Georoe Newbold,
“John A. Stevens,
“C. O. Halstead,
“James Gallatin.”
The following is the agreement referred to :
“In view of the present strong co .dition of the.
banks of this city, and their duty to the community
and themselves, the undersigned banks of the city
of Ne* York hereby give notice that on and after
Monday next they will resume specie payments on
all obligations.”
The proposition meets with great favor, and it is
generally supposed that half of the banks will agree
to it, though it is well known that some banks op
pose the measure as tending to advance the rate of
exchange on New York, and thus retard remittan
ceß ; and further, that it would cause a heavy drain
of specie for* export and render a second suspension
imminent. In any event, however, the Commerce,
American, Manhattan and National banks will re
sume on Monday.

MARSHALL.
OBITUARY.
Died on the evening ol the sth of December, after a
lingering illness, Dr. CLAIBORNE K. WALTON, aged
28 years.
With the dew of youth upon thoe,
And lightning in thine eye,’
In the morning of life’s promise
Thou hast laid thee down to die.
Oh, human love had bound thee
So closely to each heart,
We almost fiought to save thee
From Death’s unerring dart.
The clouds dark above us,
And the very heavens w cpt,
That the gifted and the lovely
’Neath the autumn leaf has slept.
But in that glorious morning,
Waen “the shadows flee away,”
Thou wilt waken, dearest sleeper,
In the light of yndiees day.
Bo breathes the heart’s sorrow amid the gloom of
death ; and so rises the Christian's hope “ lest we be
ignorant concerning those who are asleep, acd sorrow
even as others that have no hope.” Yet our souls
are clothed with sackcloth as we bow beneath God’s
heavy rod. No common grief swelled the great heart of
our community in generous sympathy with smitten
friends, as the departed was borne to his long home.
The great destroyer himself had seemed to linger on the
threshold, as if sot a season baffled in his work of de
-traction by the intensity of human love and the wrest
lings of prayer There was a young heart to s*ill ; and
a pulse that beat in unison with hopes ; and life’s dreams
of love and fame, so the flame went slowlv out. There
were ties to sever, as the young wife laid her un
conscious infants upon the bosom of her earthly idol, for
his last embrace. Parents, with the silver touch cf age
stealing upon the brow, bent in agony over the y >unge*t
son. Brothers and sisters pressed the hand that was
ever ready to return the greetings of affection, and many

ministered to his wants during his short but severe Hi

Beware of Wild Cats,
In the present monetary crisis, it behooves the
people to watch carefully, and avoid all contact
with the Wild Cat Banks and their issues. Be espe
cially careful to give them neither countenance or
circulation; avoid them as you would a highway
man, and the contents of your purses will be much
more secure and valuable. To enable the people to
protect themselves, as much as possible, against
these institution, we subjoin a list of them; all of

MADISON FEMALE COLLEGE.—IBS7.
IIE Spring Term of this Institution will begin on
X MOINDAY, JANUARY 11, 1858.
The College ia thoroughly organized In every Depart*
meat—Literary, Musical, and Ornamental—and fur*
nishes the very best facilities for the education of Youngr
Ladies.
The object of the Faculty is to exercise a rigid, but
paternal discipline, so as to secure the progress and Im
provement of their pupils ; and they flatter themselvea
that the high encomiums passed upon their public ex*
j minations heretofore, afford satisfactory evidence of
their success.
Parents may rest assured that no pains will be spared
to guard the health, as well as to cultivate the mlnda
and hearts of those who may be entrusted to their care.
They desire to encourage habits of strict economy,
and therefore require hat no young lady shall make ao
counts at the stores or elsewhere, without the Ppecial
written permission of p. .rents, who are earnestly request
ed to withhold from their daughters the means of all
needless extravagance. Two Hundred Dollars is ample
to cover the expenses of a student for Board, Books,
Stationery, See., and tuition in Literarj Department one
year. No extra charge is made for Latin aud French,
but these languages are incorporated In the regular
course of study, and required of all who pursue a College
course.
Catalogues may bn had on application to the President
Rev. JAMEB L. PIERCE, or the undersigned.
