Washington, Feb.fi —House. —The House con
tinued in session till half-paai 6o'clock this mora-
irg, when the p&rliame;.tary struggle between the
Lecomptou and anti Lecompton constitution par
j ties was terminated by the unanimous adoption of
j a resolution <ffved by Mr. t2 u i tt^An ’ l hat tb*; House
! adjour i t :I Monday, when the subject under con-
I Bid ration—the President’s Kansas Message—shall
i be re.-umed. and the questions on the pending pro
-1 positions betaken wtbout further debate or delay
by dilatory motions. __ . ,
Ab- a 21 k this morning Messrs. Ke-.it and
Grow gofV.o a, persona! rencontre in the House.—
Blows v. c exchanged and some of their respective
friend * p ; f „ed in and there were about a dozen
lieliger-nt* in the fight The proceedings were of
the w,.ffst and moSt diegreceful characts-.r, which
! ibe Speaker, with the aid of she Sergeant at-
J Arm? succeeded only after several efforts in sup
! pressing.
j Anot her Ac< iii'.'T.—The Hon.--- was thrown into
a violent excitement and a fearful scene of confu
| .-ion. it appears that while Mr. Grow, of Pennsyl
vania. was walking down tLe aisle on tbe Demo
cratic side of the Hah, Mr Keitt, of South Carolina,
and a friend approached him, aDd a slight squabble
ensued.
Mr. Keitt struck Mr Grow. Tbe parties were
separated by their fiiet.dri. Tfcey exchanged words
in an evidently excited end m nacing manner. Mr.
Keitt again *lelt a blow at Mr. Grow, the latter I
knocking him down.
Crowds of their respective friends iu?hed to the
rescue. The various members on each side en
! gaged in the fight in the area fronting the Cieik s
desk.
Mr. Washburne, of Illinois. wa3 conspicuous
Hmong Republicans, dealing heavy blows.
Ihe Speaker ioudiy called tor and called
on the Sergeant-at Anns to interfere Ti.at func
tionary, carrying his inace of office, together with
Lis assistants, hurried to the scene and crowded in
to the thickest of the fight, in which at least a dozen
members were engaged.
Some minutes elapsed before this truly fearful
contest was quieted, the members having reluctant
ly returned to their scats. There was a dead calm
compared with tiie scene just enacted.
Mr. Quitman moved that they now adjourn, and
take tL- question on the reference of the Menage
of tbe President on Kansas affairs <-n Monday, at
one o’clock.
Emphatic and general responses from the Repub
lican wide of “No! no! ’
Confusion began to break out afresh, when the
Speaker said he would direct the Sergeant at-Arms
u> put under arrest thcee wbo disregarded thi or
der of the House.
Mr Campbell, of Ohio, said he foresaw disagreea
ble feelings would result here from the exciting
questions connected with Kansas, aud waa called
to order by Mr. Barksdale.
Mr Campbell said he wished the gentleman from
Misssisaippi u know that he was his peer.
Still Another Account.
We copy from the Washington States of Satur
day, the eubj lined account of the proceedings in
the Houe -of Representatives on the previous night,
resulting in e free fight, in which several meinbtrs
were engaged :
The doings in the House of Representatives last
night, and in the “wee hours” of this morning, are
chiefly interesting and remarkable—like the moat
su ceseful melo dramas—for the Beene in which the
‘ single combat” inaugurated the “grand encoun
ter.” The eyes of the town are looking to the turn
ing point of the fray, and its ears are eagerly open
for tiie “distant burn of war-clothed men.”
The President's message coming up, Mr. Grow,
of Pennsylvania, came up with it. and did not go
down until he had sharply reviewed that, document.
Hqquestioued if the Lecompton constitution, which
the Executive had transmitted to them, met, in its
etwential form, the will, wants, aud wishes of the
people, who were to be govei ced and affected by
it.. He did not see that the President had given
them a chance of judging on the justness of its pas
sage, because he Lad not transmitted the vote of
the people on the constitution.
Iq tte case of Mioueaota, the constitution and
votes had been sent without a recommend ition ;
and iu the case of Kansas a constitution and re
commendation without the votes.
Mr. Harris, of Illinois, deßired to modify his
amendment to Mr. Hughes’ resolution regarding the
reference of the message to a select committee of
thirteen. He desired to know if he could not offer
a distinct proposition ; but the Speaker being of
opinion that it could not le entertained, Mr. Harris
offered the resolution as an amendment.
The chief feature of this amendment is a refer
ence of the message to a select committee of fifteen,
instead of thirteen. The member from Illinois re
coguized the momentous character of the subject
under consideration; aud naturally felt that the
more information before honorable members the
more rationally and honestly could they come to a
conclusion. Facts were indispensable for tue coun
try, because, if we were on the verge of anew or
der of tliiugs, the country at large should know it,
and the causes of it. A all events, why rush the
thing stupidly through ?
What objections could there be to an inquiry into
the facts ? He believed truth never banned any
body ; and upon a great public question like this,
information should be sought from all sources. He
asked for nothing but what was pertinent to the
issue. He was opposed to unnecessary delay ; but
waa equally opposed to a blind hurry. He there
fore offered his arnendmeut, and moved the pre
vious question.
Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, protested against this
course, and thought if a majority were determined
to force it, the minority at least ought to have a
hearing. Then commenced a series of dodges to
prevent a vote on Mr. Harris amendment. Mo
tions innumerable were made on every possible
pretext; cal sos the House followed at regular in
tervals, and the members were beginning to get
hoarse in answering “yea ’ or “nay” to their names.
Motions for _ adjournment were quashed ; motions
for a recess were laughed at; motion to go into
Committee of ti e Whole met entire contempt; mo
tions to be excused from voting were numerous;
questions of privilege had no chance; propositions
tor a compromise moved the House to exceeding
mirth and laughter The opposition of both parties
were kept up with good hummer. At one period,
Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, moved “in good faith, that
when the House adjourn, it be to meet in'the old
Hall.” We didn’t knew what for, as Urn motion
was not entertained.
“How long,” asks an honorable member—“how
ioug will it take to call the yeas and nays already
ordered ?”
Mr. Speaker. “About four hours!”
It will be seen that the opposition to the Lecomp
ton measures must have been strong, as every mo
tion to adjourn made by its advocates, wa* overruled
by a majority. Thus there was no end to the mov
ing of members in the House, although they did not
move out of it.
Mature went on this way, and generally in a good
natured and good humored wilfulnees, until about
tweuLy minutes to two o’clock iu the morning,
when “Flodden showed another sight.”
All sorts of motions were being made, ami Mr.
Grow was moving towards the Speakers chair, down
the avenue, contiguous to which was the seat of Mr.
Keitt
Some honorable made a motien.
Mr. Grow objected.
Mr. Keitt *aid : “Go to your own side of the
House, sir, and make your objections there.”
Mr. Grow promptly replied that “lie would make
his objections where lie pleased;” and indiscreetly
followed up the remark by saying that “he wouldn’t
be governed by a slave driver.”
This was the tocsin for war; Mr. Keitt thinking
with Macbeth that the “flighty purpose never is
o’ertook unless the deed go with it,” struck the mem
ter from Pennsylvania.
Mr. Grow returned the blow, the parties clench
ed, and in rushed members from all sidee, hoping
to end this little row, but unconsciously contribu
ting to commence a b:g one. Mr. Barksdale, ot
Mississippi, interfered as peacemaker, and succeed
ed iu parting them. He was holding Mr. Grow,
when a crowd rushed up, and he was struck, as he
supposed, by Mr. Washburne, of 111. Mr. Barksdale
turned and gave Washburne several severe blows,
when they we e parted.
The row went last and furious right under the
Speaker’B chair, and in thorough disregarded of the
presence of the occupants of the reporters’ gallery.
Some thirty or forty members got eo entangled
aud jammed up that it was difficult to see which
was which, or which got the worst or best of it.
Blows were given and taken indiscriminately. The
affair was timed by a sporting character present,
who saya it occupied one minute and a half.
Speaker Orr and the Sergeant-at-Arms, Mr.
Glosbrenner, deserve credit and commendation for
the prompt energy with which they succeeded iu
calming the tumult.
When all “was calm again,” the House fell back
into its good humored ways, tbe “little brush ’ hav
ing waked up some of the moat unpatriotic, who
dozed, unconscious of the inomentousnese of the
occasion. The members went on resolving, and
moving, and taking the “yeas’ aud “nays,” until
after six o’clock this morning, when General Quit
man introduced a resolution, suspending action on
all other motions, except the previous question,
(Harris’* motion to refer the whole subject to the
select committee,) which was made, by acclama
tion, the special order for Momday, at 1 o’clock ,
and the House adjourned, as Burns says, “up in the
morn in’ earlie.”
The Charleston Mercury has the following, which
differs very materially from the others :
“ Reference ia made in our telegraphic despatches
to a collision between Col. lveitt and Mr. Grow, ot
Pennsylvania, in the Houae of Representatives. A
friend, who was an eye witness, sends ua an account
of the affair, which we annex. From this, it ap
pears that Grow, who is one of the most pestilent
Abolitionists in Congrese, was not only out of his
place, but out of order, for the rules of the Houae
are imperative that a member must be at his seat
when he addressee the Speaker or the Ilouae. The
following is the statement:
Washington, Feb. 6 —At about two o’clock. A.
M . Gen. Qaitman offered a proposition to disentan
gle the proceedings in the House. Mr. Grow, who
was in one ot the aialea on the Democratic side of
the House, obivcled a little tartly. Mr. Keitt eaid
to him. “ Go ou the other side of the Houae, to which
you belong, if you want to object. ’ Mr. Grow an
swered, “ill object where 1 please.” Mr. Keitt
then paid, “Wait till I can come round, and I’ll
take care of you.*’ Mr. Keitt went round and said
to him. “You Abolitionist puppy, move to your
side of the Houae, and don't stay here.” Mr. Grow
said, “ rii stay aa long a* I please. Mr. Keitt then
choked him for an instant. He then started off,
when Mr. Grow said. “ You can t come from your
plantation and crack the whip over me. ‘ Mr. Keitt
turned back aud >aid, “111 choke you again for
that insolence,” and he grasped his throat a second
time. Gen. Davia, of Mississippi, then interfering,
wrenched Mr. Keitt round to keep them apart, and
pressing him against the corner of a table, Mr. Keitt
partially fell. Mr. Grow, when Mr. Keitt was
wrenched round to aeparate them, struck at Mr.
Keitt, we think, but did not reach him. Those by
say he did not reach him. Mr. Barksdale, in inter
fering to separate them, was struck, and dealt a few
heavy blows in return. The whole thing was sud
den aud ovtfr in a moment. There was not much
excitement prevailing before or afterwards. This
is a succinct statement of the whole affair, which
will, doubtless, be greatly exaggerated by Biack
Republican prints. The whele thing was extempo
raneous.
Dispatches from the Utah Expedition.—
The War Department lias received dispatches from
Col Johnston, of the Utah expedition, dated Camp
Scott, Black Fork, at Green River, on the ldth of
December. He says:
I have the honor to report that two additional
companies of volunteers have been mustered into
the service of the United States for nine months,
making in all a battalion of four companies of men,
numbering in the aggregate three hundred and
twenty. A term of six months would be without
utility, as in that ease the men would be entitled to
their discharge in the midst of active operations. A ]
term ot twelve months was olyeetienable. aa it wouid j
bring the period of discharge ar so late a season as :
to make it impracticable for the men to return to j
their homes. These men were needed immediately, j
to aid in protecting the supplies for the army, and *
exigency did not allow time for asking authority for i
their employment.
Col. Johnston requests that Col. Hoffman, who ia i
in command at Fort Laramie, but who was ordered j
to Fort Leavenworth on general court martial, may !
be relieved from that duty, and repair immediately :
to Fort Laramie to put in progress the execution of
orders for bringing forward supplies for the army
of Utah. The troops are very comiortabie and in
goi health in their winter quarters.
Information is also transmitted tnrough the sub
sistence bureau, that anaoundant supply of fat beet
has been supplied to t* army at Fort Bnogerfrom

For the Chronicle A* Sentinel.
C obutiah Talley.
Mk Editor : —I desire through the, column* of
your paper, to say a few tilings in behalf cf a locali
ty, which, though not at present widely known, i*
destined ere long, on account of its rare natural ad
vantages, to become more celebrated. If the Con
vention of Bishops which lately met at Mont
gomery, to select a site for a Southern University
had been fully acquainted with all the natural ad
vantages that combine to render the locality I speak
of the most eligible educational point in the South,
lam confident they would not have selected Se
wannee a* the site of the propoeed institution. And
if, from the dissatisfaction manifested in regard to
the site selected by them, or from any other cause,
the Reverend Bishops and Trustees of that Insti
tution should be induced to reconsider their action
in the premises, as a friend and well wisher to the
great enterprise of building up a University for the
South, I trust they will take into consideration the
many advantages of the place of which I speak.
In Murray county, Ga., two miles from the lice
separating the States of Tennessee and Georgia,
situated in one of the most fertile and lovely valliee
ever inhabited by mortal man, is found a spring of
the purest limestone water, bursting forth in suffi
cient abundance to supply a populous city. No
fabled fountain of Egeria could surpass it in beauty.
It was the favorite resort of the Indians, around
which they loved to Unger, and wa* called by them
“Cobuttah,” which signifies “Beautiful Mountain.”
Half a mile from its source, it empties into a beau
tiful little river, known by iis Indian came of
“Couasauga.” This lovely stream abounds in m&Dy
varieties of the finest fish. Its banks were the
home of the Indian—his Paradise—and he loved to
lay his bones there when called by the Great Spirit.
And no mean imitation was it of Paradise to his
untutored mind. Tue fertile soil of this enchanting
valley yielded to his rude culture, corn, and all that
1 e required of cultivated crops ; and the adjacent
noun tains furnished him an abundant supply of all
kinds of gam3. The forests supplied him with
grapes, chestnuts, and other indigenous fruits suited
to his simple taste. But the scene is changed now.
The river still teems with fish and the mountains
abound with game, but the beautiful valley of the
Couasauga is now filled with a civilized, indus
trious and enterprising population. It* fruitful soil
yields to the husbandman plenteous harvest* of all
that is required to support the dense population
that will one day occupy it. Its streams furnish
power to drive numerous mills for manufacturing
its cereal products, and for cutting up its inex
haustible forests of the finest timber, as soon as the
demands of population justify. A number of such
mills are already in operation, and others are being
put up. I might enlarge upon the advantages of
this favored section, but time will assuredly de
velop them. Its salubrity is and its
scenery unrivalled. Tbe whole region abounds
with mineral springs of different virtues, whose
health-giving waters are the resort of the afflicted
from every direction, who go there not to seek for
pleasure alone, but to be cured of disease. I can
not but think that if the Southern University had
been located at Cobuttah instead of the present site,
Sewannee, and the advantages of the former place
had been generally known, there would have been
nothing of the dissatisfaction that has been ex
pressed in regard to Sewannee. This delightful val
ley is intersected by excellent roads, making Co
buttah Spring a point distant from Spring Place,
Ga , fourteen miles ; from DaltOD, Ga., seventeen
miles; from Cleveland, Teun., seventeen miles;
and from Benton, Tennessee, seventeen miles. —
A Railroad is now projected which will run near to
this Spring. The valley is being settled up by
wealthy aud enterprising men, some of whom are
well known in the business community, and who
will be able to develop its resources. Thici beauti
ful Spring, surrounded as it is by a healthy and
fruitful country, affords an unrivaled site for &
Literary Institution. Building stone and the finest
timber are convenient and cheap. Here could be
built a school well adapted, from its varied local
advantages, to the training of youth, morally,
mentally and physically.
Upon some of the beautiful elevations surround
iug this Spring, might be raised a temple of learn
ing f;om whose walls streams of knowledge would
flowaa far, as pure, and aa copious as the waters
that gush from this lovely fountain. The writer be
lieves, though he may not live to see it, that all his
fancy has here painted, will be realized in time.—
lie writes for no mercenary motives, but that the
beauties of this favored locality may be brought, to
the notice of others. T.

Gov* Brown’d Veto*
Mr. Editor :—I wish to make a correction of
my account of Gov. Brown’s veto, of the Oglethorpe
County election. It is this ;—the mistake occurred
in the making up of the returns, and not in the Ex
ecutive office, as might be inferred from the article
sent you. So much in justice to the parties con
cerned. And now allow me to say, that the com
missions were undoubtedly sent to the right man in
th’- first instance , although not the man who got the
most votes. Ignoramus.

A Fast Place. —The following letter from the
collector of a New York house, we copy from the
New York Herald. It shows how things are man
aged in Chicago, and why it is so few failure j have
occurred in that fast but rotten place :
Chicago, Jan. 20,1858.
The papers of this city have continually harped
through the present crisis, that Chicago has had less
failures than any other city in the Union. The rea
son is easily explained. I had occasion to try to
collect a judgment to day of a merchant. I found
his whole stock recorded under a chattel mortgage
in the Clerk’s office. The number of chattel mort
gages recorded up to to day is uineiy-six thousand
three hundred and thirty. Over four thousand of
them have been placed there within less than three
months, aud some of them contain invoices of whole
stocks, making twenty pages of the record. Judg
ments seem to do no good, for nearly all levies are
replieved. There are now over six thousand cases
in suit iu this county, from the United States Court
down.
The Creditors of Lawrence, Stone & Co.—
At a meetiug at tbe Court of Insolvency in Bos
ton, on Wednesday, of the creditors of Lawrence,
Stone & Cos., Charles H. Head and John Lowell
were chosen assignees. The Post says :
The amount of liabilities proved was about SI,OOO,
000, including acceptances for tbe Bay State Mills,
Pemberton Mills, Middlesex Mills, and New England
Worsted Company. Among several large claims
proved by creditors were the claim of a Boston gen
tleman for the sum of $930,000, one large private
banking house for $128,000, and several of tne Bos
ton banks, varying from $30,000 to $87,000. Among
the debts proved were several held by savings
banks in the vicinity of Boston. It must be under
stood that the parties proving debts against this
firm have other names upon their notes, upon which
they will, in most i . 33, realize the face of the debts,
as it is presumed that the mills of which Messrs.
Lawrence, Stone & Cos , were agents, and for which
most of their indebtedness was contracted, will be
able to pay in full, or at worst, nearly one hundred
cents on the dollar. The whole indebtedness of
Lawrence, Stone &. Cos., on their own account, and
for account of the different mills, is between three
and four millions of dollars.
The Mutiny on Board the Shit Kate Hooper,
—The Portland Advertiser published an extrtot
from a letter, dated Anjier, November 28, which
gives an account of the mutiny on board the ship
Kate Hooper, on her passage from Macao to Ha
vana, dift'ering somewhat from that published last
week:
“The ship Kate Hooper ia now here with 600
Coolies, bound to Havana, and such a set of outlaws
I have never before seen. They have several times
attempted to take tlie ship, and in the last effort,
made this side of Caspar Straits, were nearly suc
cessful. They had set her on fire in threeplaces,
and had possession of the between decks. Tue offi
cers were obliged to shoot down four of them, and
one they hung: and now they have some twenty in
double irons ; some of them with bullets in them.
Among them are about 100 Chinese pirates, who
were determined to take the ship, and who knew
well all the coast. Capt. Jackson is very sick, and
has this morning applied to a Dutch man-of-war to
tow the ship to Batavia. Bis recovery is doubtful,
unless affairs look better on board.”
Boston Banks. —The aggregate of the statement

Gold in Ohio. —The Sandusky Register o
Thursday, the ‘-Bth, says that great excitement pre
vails in Belville—ten miles south of Mansfield, in
Richmond connty, in consequence of gold having
been discovered in a hill about one-half mile north
east of that village. It is stated that, one day last
week, the owner of the land where the precious
metal was discovered and his son washed out, in
six hours, about seven dollars’ worth of dust!
Canadian Currency.—Much confusion prevails
in the currency of Canada at the present time, in
consequence of the change made to a decimal cur
rency, without any supply of coins convenient for
such a currency. They have no cents, nor substi
tute for cents, and almost the sole silver currency in
circulation has for along time been English shillings
and sixpences, which have passed for quarters and
eighths of a dollar.
The New York Journalof Commerce, declare not
one cent of the SB,OOO went into the pockets of the
proprietors of that paper. David M. Stone, their
Commercial Editor, received pay for editing and
loving several pamplecs upon the Tariff, Ac., but
the Journal itself had not one cent, and what was
paid him was for work out of the Journal, not in.
Tne pamphlets were not printed in the Journal
office, and the office had nothing to do with them in
any form, Ac.
Fires. —During the moDth just closed, there were
thirty three fires in the C nited States, so far as ac

Another New Territort. —It is proposed to
make an effort for a Territorial organixatien of the
upper peninaula of Michigan, under the name of
Superior or Mackinaw. The country embraces
some sixteen thousand square miles, abounds in
mineral resources, and has an estimated population
{ of ten thousand. At present it is a part of the
State of Michigan, from the main portion of which,
however, it is separated by the straits of Mackinaw,
and with which it has no common iutersets.
The Philadelphia Press announces that a great

Walker and Hon Frederick P Stamoo wifi speak
(lens. Santa Anna and Pillow.
A letter is published in a paper at Havana from
Gen. Santa Anna, dated Turbaco, New Granada,
29th ult, in relation to the charges which Gen. Pillow
has preferred, that money wa© employed by Gen.
Scott to bribe the Mexican commander and authori
ties. These statements of Gen. Pillow are denied
with the usual vehemence and verbosity of tbe
Mexican hero. We quote as follows :
The American Gen. Pillow, one of the invaders
of my country in 1847, desiriDg to make political
capital at Lome, iu order to gain a seat iu the Sen
ate of the Unites States, some time since published
a card, in which, alter painting himself a hero
against the Mexicans, he Las had the impudence to
say that bisgenerai-iu-chief at that time bad dared to
make infamous proposals to me, and that 1 had
stooped to hear aud to accept these propositiqp-s,
the object of which was to terminate the war and
celebrate a peace by means of a miserable pecu
niary consideration to be for my personal benefit.
The position of General Pillow in his own country
murt be very unenviable, if in order to reach the
height of his ambition, he believes k necessary to
resort to the ignoble recourse of inventing a calum
ny, which is al the more unworthy of a soldier and
a gentleman because the distance which seperaies us
assures him of impunity. But without renouncing the
right to call him personally to a strict account, when
circumstances will permit me to do ao, I will confine
myself at present to the most indignant denial of
this calumny, notwithstanding that Gen. Scott —in-
fluenced doubtless by that sentiment which induces
an honorable man to be just—has already crushed
it in a card which was also published iu the U. S.
Who ie there that, knowing my position iu Mexico,
the fortune that I possessed, and the elevation of
my character, could even imagine that I should have
suffered the humiliation of listening to the propo
sition of so infamous a t axis action as that indicated
by General Pillow ? Aud who, knowing m every
body knew, the hatred which my heart cherished
against these enemies of my country, whom I al
ways combated with ardor and constancy, would
have dared to subject me to such a humiliation ?
Even though a man has given himself up to evil,
even though virtae bo death iu his heart, the senti
ment of justice suffocated, and he resolves to com
mit a great crime, yet it is even then necessary that
there should be some degree of proportion between
the magnitude of their crime aud ike advantages
which he expects to realize from it. Aud even
though General Pillow, in the excess of his gratui
tous malignity, supposes me so wicked that I have
arrived at the extremity of being traitor to that
dear country for which I have shed my blood, and
of trading with her independence which 1 have
gloriously secured with my sword; even then, what
proportion is there between this crime—the most
horrible that my imagination can conceive—and
the miserable reward which, according to him, that
crime was to earn, especially considering that this
reward was to be offered to the man who occupied
the most distinguished place in his country, and
who waa overloaded with the favors of fortune ?
Does not this single consideration suffice for the
sensible man to discover the falsehood which Gene
ral Pillow, in the poverty of his imagination, has
invented ? Neither the vile sum which this man
names, nor all the treasures of the whole world
would have sufficed to buy a peace from me. Cer
tainly it wa? not I who sold a peace for fifteen mil
lions of dollars. Rather than accept such an infa
my—which was less than that which General Pil
low has dared to impute to me—l preferred to aban
don my beloved country and my fortune to seek
the asylum o! the exile on forei ra soil. Did iot
General Pillow reflect upon this circumstai.ee ?
Did he not know that it was sufficient to make any
man of a healthy judgment to recognize the falsify
and absurdity of his pretended revelation, especial
ly when he had allowed ten years to pass by with
out saying a single word about it ? * * * *
Although General Scott has already fulfilled his
duty in this matter, it is mine to declare solemnly
before the face of the whole world that Geueral Pil
low, in his referred to, has completely violated
the truth in everything he has said iu regard to my
person ; that neither with Soott nor with any
other individual of the invading armies which I
fought in the service and defense of my country,
did ! hold any relations either by writing or by in
tervention of third parties—excepting those official
communications which have all been published at
the proper time , that, as I have already said, I pre
ferred exile to the celebration of a treaty of peace
which would diminish the honor of the territory of
my country notwithstanding the entreaties of many
of my countrymen, who forgetful of their duty,
endeavored to convince me that the peace which
the government of the United States proposed and
solicited was preferable to the ends of war. This
conduct, which should have gained friends and ad
mirer?, I am sorry to say, gained from me only
hatred and enmity. Conspiracies was hatched
against my person and my government, and l was
obliged at the same time to defend myself against
the attacks of enemies from without aud enemies
from within.
The Mormon War.— Ho Withdrawal of Troops.
—The statement going the rounds of the press to
the effect that negotiations are in progress between
the administration and Mr. Bernhisel for the with
drawal of the army from Utah, the emigration of
the Mormons to some island of the oceap, and the
purchase of their lands in Salt Lake*Valley by the
government, is said by the Union to be altogether
destitute of foundation iu fact. That journal adds :
The army waa dispatched to Utah as to one of the
military departments ol the country, where its pre
sence is required independently of the Mormons ;
aud it would probably remain iu that department in
the strength that has been dispatched there, though
every Mormon should evacuate the Territory.
The lands of Salt Luke Valley have not, we be
lieve, beeu yet sold to the Mormons. They occupy
them as squatters, aud have never yet derived ti
tles from the government. It would be remarkable
if the government should negotiate for the purchase
of it* own lands which it has never sold.
The Mormons are believed to have no present
intention of evacuating Utah. The march of a
formidable force of United States troops iu that di
rection would probably induce a serious considera
tion of the subject on their part; but, strongly for
tified as they are behind their canons and mountain
gorges, well provided wit i provisions, arms and
ammunition, strengthened by manifold and formida
ble alliances with Indian tribes far and near—not to
speak of the strength they command in Washington
through the opposition that is manifested towards an
increase of the army—the thought has not yet en
tered their minds of preparing for auy early re
moval from Salt Lake Valley. The information re
ceived by the government from reliable sources all
concm in ascribing to the Mormons the very oppo
site temper and purpose to the one reported ; and it
is not believed that they will be disposed to think
of capitulation upon any terms so long as the gov
ernment is prevented from sending a military force
against them formidable enough in number* to in
spire them with trepidation.
S® far from any relaxation beiug likely to occur
iu tbe efforts of the administration to press on rein
forcemeuts to the army in Utah, we have conclu
sive reason to believe that every resource at its
command will be exhausted by the War Department
for swelling and expediting t hose reinforcements
The preparations of the administration will be such
that whatever responsibility for mischances to our
gallant army shall attach to the government, shall
fall alone at the door of Congress.
The Bible Question.— The Board of the Ameri
can Bible Society have almost unanimously adopt
ed the following resolutions, settling the vexed
question as to the new standard edition of the Bi
ble:—
Resolved , That the Society’s present Standard
English Bible be referred to the Standing Commit
tee on Versions for Examination; and in all cases
where the same differs in the text or its accessories
from the Bibles previously published by the Society,
the committee are directed to correct the same, by
conforming it to previous editions printed by this
Society, or by the authorised British presses; refer
ence also being had to the original edition of the
translators, printed in 1611 ; and to report such cor
rections to this Board, to the end that anew edition
thus perfected, may be adopted as the Standard
Edition of the Society.
Resolved , That until the completion and adoption
of such new standard edition, the English Bibles to
be issued by this Society shall be such as conform to
the editions of the Society anterior to the late revi
sion, so far as may be practicable, aud excepting
cases where the persons or auxiliaries applying for
Bibles shall prefer to be supplied from copies of the
present stradard edition now on baud or in process
of manufacture.
The Natchez Courier tells of a rough boatman
passing along the streets of that ancient city, who
had drifted far away from home, and, stopping at
the door of a music store, where a gentleman was
evoking a sweet strain from the chords of a fine
piano, for the amusement of a lady friend:
He listened very intently, paying but little atten
tion to the passers by, until the hot scalding tears
coursed down his rough sun burnt cheeks, iu spite
of all his endeavors to restrain them. Observing
that we noticed him, he turned round and exclaim
ed, “Can’t help it, stranger, I've a little sister,
somewheres out West, that does that sort of tiling,
and it makes me think of home ! I ain’t ashamed
of my feelings neither. I'v been away from ‘em all
a good many years, but such sweet sounds us that
brings ’em all close to me, and I've some feelings
as sure as you live!” We believed him, and could
not help believing that under his rough exterior was
hidden a heart as kind and as gentle as a woman's.
Great Calico Dress Ball in New York. —A
grand calico dress soiree took place at the Academy
of Music, in New York, in aid of the Hunter Woodis
Benevolent Society and other charities, on Thurs
day night, and was an immense success. The Times
says i
The house was crowded from the dancing iloor to
the dome long before the hour at which the exer
cises were to begin. From 6 o’clock in the eve
ning, at which hour the tide began to set in—aud it
ebbed and flowed continuously during the evening
—to a very uncertain hour this morning, w hen the
last ripple subsided, it is not gomg beyond the mark
to say that 10,000 people visited the scene of tLe
evening's festivities. The building overflowed;
people came and people went, and all who came
went away well plea-ed—well pleased with them
selves, for charity is its own reward, and well
pleased with the manner in which the affair was
gotten up and managed.
At eight o'clock the poem was delivered. At its
conclusion, (about nine o’clock,) the dancers and
promenaders took possession of the floor. The tour
ensemble of the academy at this time, the boxes fill
ed with fair women looking their faires., and brave
men looking their bravest, the floor a sea of moving
uniforms, broadcloth and calico, (for till 11 o’clock
the regulation was scrupulously enforced, and la
dies in other costume were not admitted there,) the
calico decorations of the house, with the banners of
the 71st regiment interspersed, was striking indeed.
In front of the scene which formed the background
behind the stage, gas jets, forming the word “Chari
ty,” blazed forth.
At the opposste side of the academy were in
scribed the names oftbe benevolent institutions for
whose benefit the soitee was held, and the names of
L. M. Pease, Watts, Lawrence Dorothea L. Dix,
Howard. Annie M. Andrews, Hunter Woodis, Flo
rence Nightingale, Peter Cooper, James Lennox,
and Leake. Dodworth's band, 72 performers, ai
vided into two sections on opposite sides of the
house, furnished the music. _At 11 o clock the met
amorpbosis from caliche to silk commenced. Most
of the ladies went up stairs and doffed their over
dresses, and then re-appeared op the u Xjr. Many,
however, continued to wear their donation dresses.
The soiree was, throughout, one of the grandest af
fairs that ever took place in the city. Ihe ladies,
dressed in simple c-alico, looked full as lovely as if
they had been in silks.
Death or Judge Strong. —ln the American of
Friday last, we regret to see the- following : —“We
regret to learn that Hon. Noah Strong, of Forsyth
county, died at his residence in Cummmg, on Mon
day lit. Judge Strong was one of the wealthiest
and most influential men in Cherokee Georgia. He
leaves a large circle of friends to mourn his demise.”
The Indian newspapers are almost unanimous in
the belief that the revolt is very far from being
suppressed. The Hurkarn remarks that “the rebel
lious spirit of the country is up, and it will need a
large expenditure of troops and time to putit down.
The Friend of India exclaims that the insurrection
seems interminable, “no sooner is it put down in
one district than it breaks out in another.
Murder.— The North Eastern Georgian says :
A men by the name of John Winter, kJled an
other by the name of Benjamin Hensley, both re
siding in White county. We have not heard of a j
foil statement, but rumor says, Hensley was beaten
to death with a fence rail.'’

Preeident of the Merchants’ Bank of New York,
died in that city on Monday morning.
Mr. Adolfh Rcnge, at present a resident of Sa
vannah, has been recognised by the President as
Vioe-Conaul of the Netherlands for the State of I
Geoagia
from the Savannah Georgian.
The Bank Veto Agitation.
Mr. Editor Coinciding 5u iny opinion, that
Gov. Brown i immitted a serious error, by vetoing
the act of the Legislature, prohibiting Foreign Bank
Agencies within this State— you are indisposed to
believe that lie >vd it, from partiality for the Banks
of his native State—or that he should be held ac
countable f r the depreciation of ths currency, which
has taken place.
It snot neeo ?* Ary to inquire into hie motives—they
are hie own—but if he i -tended to preserve a sound
currency for the use of the people of the State—you
must admit, that to indite the interference of those
Agencies over which, neither the Legislature nor
himself had any control to come iu and pollute it,
was a very extraordinary means to carry such a
purpose into effect.
His Excedenoy ought to have known, how impor
tant the soundness of the currency is to the people,
to institute and regulate it is one of the highest acts
cf the Sovereign power—whether it have a paper
or a metalic basis—and even in times of specie pay
ments, it may be safely asserted, that no Foreign
influence calculated to’ interfere with it, should be
permitted. But under existing circumstances, when
the currency ws to be temporarily based solely
upon the credit of the Banks, and the integrity cf
their management—this Foreign influence should
have been entirely excluded. The Legislature knew
this, and they excluded this source of adulteration
—and provided penalties, to punish them—as all
Sovereigns do—the counterfeiting or adulteration of
the legal currency.
When the Banks suspended specie payments in
this State—Gov. Johnson, discreetly referred the
whole matter, with all necessary Legislation on the
subject—to the Representatives of the people, then,
about to assemble. Not so. Gov. Brown—he assum
ed the reins of State with ho3tile menaces towards
the Banks—and he exerted all bis Bower to injure
and destroy them. He overlooked the considera
tion of the fact, that they were the property, mostly
of the people of this State- —he ignored all the rights
granted them by their charters—he denounced them
as acting criminally and in bad faith to the people.
He vetoed the act of the Legislature passed for
their relief, with all its salutary protections for the
currency—and Anally vetoed this Bill too—by
which, he admitted and invited this swarm of Fo
r-ign Agencies to come m and infuse into the cur
rency all their notes —net only irredeemable note,
but in all probability, irredeemable forever . And
let us glace a moment at the Banks .then introduced
among us—and see what sort of a currency they
have provided for us—on what basis it rests, and
what the probabilities of its ever being redeemed iu
coin.
I refer to their own statements of their own cir
culation, and the amount of specie held by each.
Bills in Ctr'on. Specie
No. 1 had $1,692,000 46,000
2 356,000 51,000
3 136,000 30,000
1 238,000 7,000
5 325,000 18,000
6 102*000 19,000
$3,149,000 $171,000
Besides several others, not much stronger, though
it is alledged their returns were improved by $200,-
000 in coin, borrowed from New York and seut
back afterwards.
The Legislature prohibited the circulation of these
Foreign Bank Notes, within this State, and Gov.
Brown nullified the act, and brought them in— how
then can he escape Ike responsibility of these depre
ciating the currency. His friends may stultify
themselves by applauding his vetoes, but they can
not justify him before the people.
But let no one be deceived as to the extent of this
depreciation by present appearances. Let the test
of a resumption of specie payments be made then,
and not till then, will the whole extent be known—
when $171,000 iu specie come to be applied to tho
redemptiep of $3,149,000 of Bank Notes—then we
shall know the value of Gov. Brown's Agencies of
specie paying banks.
Truly a very serious error has been committed
ny His Excellency—in this matter, and the only
remedy is to caution the \wople against receiving the
Notes of all Foreign Banks —but more especially
tho ? e of an adjoining S f ate—which are being poured
out among us, for Bills of Exchange and Cotton,
for Georgia Bank Notes, and for everytViug else
that is valuable— they are not specie paying Banks,
and were not when His Excellency said so. Il‘they
should ever become so, it will be by means of the
credit they gain abroid. The game is rapidly draw
ing to a close, and “the knowing ones' 1 are shuf
fling r Cf every note of these Banks, and many will
not receive them at all. The Banks refuse them
both in Augusta and Savannah—and it is said that
some of the Banks in Charleston insist upon paying
out the notes of these rieketty concerns for their
opw liabilities, showing they are getting discredited
even at home. Let South Carolina people take care
of their own Banks, or make them better before
they send their notes abroad.
It is hbped that Gov. Brown will be more consid
erate hereafter—that, he will heed the counsels of
his friends, on questions upon which he is not in
formed—and that lie will learn to distinguish be
tween the Banks of our own State and those of oth
er States—and at least do them evenhanded justice.

From the Buffalo Commercial , Feb. 3.
Cheerful Account of the Utnli E xpedition.
The foliowir g spicily written letter from an offi
eei* of the army of Utah rims in a more cheerful veiu
than we had anticipated from the dolorous accounts
reaching us less directly. It gives a better idea of
the real condition ol the army than many more
elaborate accounts, simply because it is written to
a dear friend with an ent ire freedom of comment on
men and tilings.
W are reluctantly compelled to suppress some
remarks concerning Col. Alexander, which, as the
letter was not intended for publication, might in
volve a betrayal of the author’s confidence on our
part. It is sufficient to say that the opinion pre
vails at Fort Bridger, as well as here, that had Col.
Johnston held the command of the advance column,
it would have wintered iu Salt Lake City.
Camp Scott, (near Ft. Bridger,) U. TANARUS., )
December 10, 1857. \
My Dear N.: —A member of the firm Buttling for
the 10th Infantry, starts for the States next Monday,
and has kindly offered to carry letters, and if you
get this, you may thank him, as well as me, for it.
1 should not wonder if you should see in the pa
pers, before two months, letters calculated to pro
duce ihe impression that this army is in a suffering
condition. Let me tell you beforehand that such is
not the truth, and that the prospect is very flatter
ing that it will not be the case ; but that when the
winter eampaigu is over, we shall tind overselves in
one respect, and one only like Mr. Clay’s slaves —
“ fat and sleek.”
The supply >f clothing, so far as I can learn, was
only deficient in two articles—shoes and stockings.
Bur. this defect has been cured by the Quartermas
ter’s purchasing the stock of the nuttier, and that of
one or two merchant trains, now here, which were
freightad with goods for the Salt Lake trade. Col.
Johnston has laid an embargo on these trains; so
that the enemy is likely to cusser some inconveni
ence, as well as we, iu consequence of his deviltry.
You will probably also see it stated that, we are
on short “grub.’’ This can hardly be considered a
true presentment. The flour element of the ration
has been reduced five ounces (leaving Hie daily al
lowance to each soul, as also to every person with
out a soul, and entitled to subsistence, thirteen
ounces) but the beef component was at the same
time raised (increased) eight ounces, the other items
remaining as heretofore.
This reminds me of a little matter it is as well to
mention We have had no salt for a month or
more, so that, as regards that item of the ration,
“heretofore” must be consider inapplicable. But
most of us don’t miss it much now. It is well
enough, usedin moderation, when we can get it; but
not being able to get it, at this present, for a reason
able price, we have made up our minds that we can
do without until we can go into Salt Lake City,
w’hich will be before we can receive supplies from
home, And we have also arrived at the conclusion
that “to do without salt” is one of the things for
which we covenanted when we undertook the ex
pedition. Doubt less the re-opening of the campaign
will find us fresh and vigorous. This little slip up
of the subsist anco department is a high flavored
(not with salt) joke.
This subsistence department of our army, always
ready, always prompt, obliging and kind beyond
what we dbuld reasonably expect if we did not know
it, seems to have thought that sending salt to {Salt
Luke City was like ‘ sending coals to New Castle,”
and sent only what was thought sufficient to carry
us to the festering city, but it sent salt kettles to
manufacture the article when we should get there,
never anticipating the blundering operations which
have resulted in anchoring us here, a little more
than a hundred miles from briny waters. It is so
seldom the department is caught napping that we
can hardly ever tind cause for being querulous with
it, but this joke is magnificent; we have “got’’ the
department very “low, ” and most of us would rath
er do without th3 salt than the joke. The salty
joke will never “lose its savor”—it will always be
fresh.
Pacific Railroad. —The National Intelligencer
contains the following brief synopsis of the ditf'er
ent propositions for a Pacific Railroad now before
the Senate :
The first of these is embodied in a bill reported by
Mr. Gwin on the 19th ultimo from the select com
mittee on the Pacific railroad ; the second was sub
mitted by Mr. Davis on the 27th, as a substitute for
the former, and as presenting the view&4>f the minor
ity of the said committee; and a third was offered
by Mr. Foot on the 28th, also as a substitute for the
first mentioned bill.
The bill reported by Mr. (4 win proposes to autho
rize the Executive of the United States to contract
for the transportation of the Government mails,
troops, munitions, supplies, &.C., by railroad and
the erection of a magnetic telegraph from some point
on the Missouri liver, between the mouth of the
Kansas river and the Big Sioux, to the city of San
Francisco, on the route uniting best the qualities of
shortness, cheapness, and convenience. The propo
sals for contracts are to be advertised for a period
not exceeding six month9intwo papers in each
State and Territory and the District of Columbia,
and the contractors are to state the time {not to ex
ceed ten years) they will require to construct the
whole road, and what portion per annum thereof
they will complete. They must also state the time
within which they will Burrender to the United
States that part of the road constructed within the
United States territory, and the rate per mile per
annum for carrying, respectively, the daily mails
both ways and Government troops and supplies.—
The contractor whose contract unaccepted must de
poeite $500,000 in the Treasury, to be drawn out in
sums of SIO,OOO each, eo soon as work to that value
performed. On the completion of every section of
twenty five miles the Presidentof the United States
is to issue five per cent, bonds of the United States
to the contractor, at the rate of $12,000 per com
pleted mile, together with three-fourths of the alter
nate sections of public land twenty miles deep
abutting the road. And, lastly, the contractor shall
keep books at all times open to the inspection of the
President or his authorised agent, and shall minute
ly and fully report in October of every year to the
Secretary of the Treasury. Not more than twenty
five millions of bonds are to be issued in any event.
Mr. Davis's substitute differs from the foregoing
chiefly in these particulars, viz; that it omits men
tion of any geographical limits within which the
railroad shall commence or terminate, merely pro
viding for railway communication to connect “the
State of the Atlantic and Pacific;” that it manes no
provision for a telegraph; that it proposes to convey
to the contractor alternate sections on only six miles
of land on each side the road, that it directly appro
priates ten millions of dollars out of the Treasury and
as each twentieth part of the whole road is comple
ted and set to work the President shall advance
one twentieth (minus ten per cent.) of this whole ap
propriatea sum, the reserved deductions to be paid
over when the whole road is completed.
Mr. Foot’s amendment proposes to start the pro
I po3ed railroad from the junction of the iiois de Sioux
river with the Red River of the North, in the State
I of Minnesota, and continue it to Paget's Souud, and
thence to San Francisco, in California. Its other
provisions appear to be in the main the same as
those of Mr Gwin'a bill.
All the bills disallow the contractor to retain pos
session of the granted lands longer than ton years.
If he shall not have disposed of hie ownership in
them before that time they revert to the United
States. _
Homicide —An affray occurred on Front street
between bridge and Crawford streets, yesterday
evening, a short tk before sunset, in the course
of which a man by the name of Michael Tracy receiv
ed a pistol shot in the breast, from the band of a man
cahea Hinch, which reeulted in the instant death
of the former. Hinch attempted to make his escape,
but was captured by Deputy Marshal R. P.
Robinson and R. T. Simons, who were fortunate
ly near by at the time. Hinch is comparatively a
stranger, having been about this place but a Bhort
time, engaged in hauling timber for the now Bridge.
He is said to be from Tennessee, and, we learn, has
been heard to say that he killed a man in that State,
and is probably a fugitive from justice.— Columbus

Washington, Feb. 9.—ln the Senate to day a
joint resolution was introduced to take measures to
enforce a settlement of the differences with this
government and Paraguay. In the House the pro
ceedings are unimportant.
[The difficulties between thin government and
Paraguay, were referred to in President Buchan
au’e message at the opening of Congress. The Pre
sident of Paraguay refused to ratify the treaty be
tween the United States and that State as amended
by the Senate. In 1853, a United States steamer,
I lie Water Witch, was detailed to ascertain the fit
ness of the river LaPiata and its tributaries for
navigation by steam.
This enterprise w T aa successfully prosecuted un
til February, 1855, and when in the peaceful prose
cution of her voyage up the Parana river, the steam
er was fired upon by a Paraguayan fort. The pre
text for firing upon the Water Witch was the t hen
existence of a decree issued by the President of
Paraguay in October, 1851, prohibiting foreign ves
sels of war from navigating the rivers of that State.
But the Water Witch was not a vessel of war. but
a steamer engaged in a scientific enterprise, intend
ed for the advantage of commercial States generally.
Among other causes of complaint against Para
guay, citizens of the United States in business in
that country have had their property taken from
them, and their persons treated in an insulting and
arbitrary manner. Hence the objects of the joint
