had gone down in four months from nine and a half

h'ave gone at five and a lialf pence ; but sinew that,
by accommodating the public without a resumption
it hs gone up to seven and a half pence. That item
alone will make mofe difference to the cotton crop
of the cotton-growing Slates than the whole bank

Tlie extraordinary spectacle which you recently

leering to impugn indirectly the official conduct of

disclaim the commendation rather than forego the

You are represented as stating, from your seat in

bility a!! aehid to It ’’ If, in making this staiement,
you intended H say that the Bank of tfe Stale

iind it alleged, even by implication, that there a inot
the “shadow of responsibility’ m the pledged taitb
of the S'a'e It is a grave matter that, holding a
o'eminent and responsible position, yon should
sneak lielitlv or heedlessly in a mutter in which the
■hedged fail'll aud important interests of property
of the State are involved, aud respecting whicayou
are so evidently uuiuformed. But it you reterred
to the resources of the Bank ilse.f, independent of.
aud separate from, the Stas pledge or guarantee,
v, nr charge is equally unsupported and uuteuable.

have’ withheld reply in the expectation of seeing

There are other expreeelons attributed to you in

this Bank, no Bank in the State would have sua

who had. perhaps, a better opportunity of forming a
correct judgment, think otherwise. We are not dia
p-H-ed to discuss the qaestiou. Bat we state that
w** are satisfied with the course we pursue.
We believe that, by avoiding the sacrfice of
a.-ets and the pressure of debtors, we benefitted
ourselves and the community. We further be!iev<°
that our course has been generally aporeved. and.
wilder similar circumstances we should act in the
same manner. Suspension, air, ia insolvency.
That the people ot the Store and qf the neighbor
ing States do no: concur with you in the estimate
of ths responsibility of thiaßank,ia evidenced by
the fact that our circulation has been the means by
which a large portion of the crop haa been brought
to market and the p* ice of oottou sustained. And
iu the city of Charleston, where our institutiou is
located—where • ur oredii, our resources and our
operations are known and understood—we possess
tue entire confidence of the people, aud our
t*ra Lave increased about ten percent, since the
date of suspension. We have, perhaps, tbe largest
deposit accouut in the city. As to your mdividua’
opinion upon the subject of the Bank aud its man
agement, we feel indifferent, but you have given
those opinions an official character, aud we have,
therefore, considered it our duty to tbo State which
has entrusted its funds and credit to our custody, in
this brief manner to present a statement of facie iu
contrast with your representations respecting this -
institution. For near forty years the Bank has,
trom time to time, been assailed with charges of in
solvency, and its failure been foretold, but time has
buried these successive denunciations in oblivion
Ti e institution still survives the sinister prophecies,
and with increased means and efficiency, has con
tinued to discharge its duty to the people and to
the Stale, and we are confident will continue to do
so. though there may be found one who has discov
©red that “ it has uot a shadow of responsibility at
tached to it.” C. M. Fjjrman, President.
From California.
By the arrival of the steamer Isabel, from Ha
vana, at Charleston, we have later California news ,
to the 20th u't. The excitement-continues iu Cali
fornia in reference to the newly discovered gold
mines near Puget’s Sound. The San Francisco
I)era!d, of the 19th ult., says :
The recently published statements of the remark
able richness of the newly discovered gold mines on
FraiZer an’d Thompson’s River.* haa already added
fuel to tie fire ot impatience with which the first in
telligence was received, aud hundreds are prepar
irg to embark for those localities with the earliest
opportunity. Many of the quartz mi’lain the inte
rior are said to be languishing for want of hands,
a: and hundreds of prospecting miners are turning
their steps towards the North. Large numbers of
the unemployed in our cities are also on the point of
leaving, and within six mouths, should the fever
continue, California will have sent at least twenty
thousand of her population to the newly discovered
mines above mentioned.
We take the following from the same paper, in
reference to affairs iu Utoh :
Os the evacution, or intended evacuation of Salt
Lake, there ia not much room for doubt. In
the first place it is stated in the Southern Vineyard,
ot the Bth of ifiay, that certain well known Mor
mons had arrived at San Bernardino, and informed
p ‘T ons there that Brigham Young had issued a cir
cular commanding the people to retire before tlie
troops, and at ihe time of their arrivaltthe Mor
mons at San Bernardino; the oity of Salt Lake had
been evacuated, and taken possession of by (Ten.
Johnston. It is also stated in a letter from San
Bernardino, dated May I, and published in the lxis
Angelos, that “the Mormons had received orders
from Brigham Young to evacuate the city, and
move to Provo and the San Petre vailey.” and a
third letter from Salt Lake City, under da'e of
April 4 f published in the same journal, positively
that orders hau bepn given by Brigham
Young to move sour th ward, and that at the date
of the letter “Gov. Cummings and Col. Kane were
expected in from the soldier’s camp*’ under an es
cort of Mormons. None of the let tore st ate that the
evacuation had taken place.
They all, however, agree that such a movement
had been determined upon, aud that a meeting was
to be held at Provo—a l ettlemem about fifty miles
south of Salt Lake City, aud the place where Brig-
Ipon Young, at last dates, is reported to have b en
—to determine upon Hie future movements of .the
Mormons. Where will Young and the remnaqf of
his followers go ? We say rtimmßt, because it is
not only evident from the news received yesterday,
but from the harangues of the prophets for the last
Bis months, that tt very considerable'portion of the
Mormons were opposed to the belligerent Course of
Yoyug, and they will, of course, vgmamiu the val
ley. Where, we repeat, will “ Lite Beer, Proj-hei
and Rcvelator,” with the remnant ot his followers,
go ? Thin is a branch of the subject in which even
conjecture is at fault. The whole of the intelligence
received yesterday goes to show’ that a movement
southward was contemplated. Some say that Brig
lmtn will locate himself in the San Pete valley,
which is situated about 150 miles in a southeasterly
direction lroin Salt Lake City; others, that it is Isis
intention to proceed to the Mohave country, and
settle there • and others still, that Northern Mexico
is the destination of himself and his -followers. In
thiA connection one thing is orijy pertain,and that is
that if Brigham Young has resolved to evacuate the
valley of Suit Lake, he has no intention Os settling
permanently iu any portion of the territory of the
United States. Os what advantage would it be to
him to abandon Salt Lake for any other section of
riio couuiry ? Mormonysin can never flourish m
this Republic wherever he goes he must submit.
Since the above was written, we have two weeks’
later intelligence from Salt Lake, by way of Carson
Valley. It comprises the news received via Los
Angelos. Brigham arid the great body of the
Mormons have evacuated the city, and moved
southward , but their destination trill remains wrap
ped iu mystery. There can no longer be any doubt
of the evacuation, for the news front Los Angelos
is fully confirmed by way of Carson Valley. If
their destination be Northern Mexico, how can so
large a number of people obtain the necessary sup
plies during their progress in that direction f The
southern portion of the State is at their mercy. ‘The
troops now situated there will not be able to afford
sufficient protection to the people. The news will
be looked for with anxiety.
We make the following extracts of miscellaneous
news bom the steamer edition of the San Francisco
Bulletin of the 20th ult:
John C. Fremont, not satisfied with the ruling ot
the State Supreme Court, iu his Mariposa claim, aa
to extracting the gold by squatting miners, has tiled
a yo'uminous complaint in the United State Circuit
Court against the Merced Mining Company. He
uow claims as a citizen of New York, to be owner
of Las Mariposa, or the Fremont Grant, under
grant from Alvarado He allege?, trespass and
waste by the defendants, prays that They may be
compelled to answer in the premises, and be en
joined from committing further waste, &c. The
questions in this suit are very important, not only
to Col. Fremont personally, but to all miners in
California.
The colored people of this city are taking steps
Jot an early and large migration to Vancouver isl
and in the British possessions. The reports trom
the “pioneers” sent thither, are considered highly
favorable. It is expected that several hundred of
these people will leave our State within the next
month. They complain bitterly of Ihe failure of
the Government to protect them in their rights, and
the strong prejudice entertained against them by
our people.
The amount of deposits of gold bullion in the U.
S. Biauch Mi t, located in this city, for the week
ending May 8, 1858, was 42,320.77 ounces, worth
about $785,000. The amount of coinage daring the
Mi l e time was $460,000, all in double e3gles. This
does not. look as if our mines were giving out.
The reports from both the mining and agricultural
districts are very satisfactory. An abundant crop
of all the prime necessities of life, fruits, &.C., is
confidently predicted The miners are generally
doing well, aud in some places rich leads of both
quartz and tunnel mining are chronicled.
The California Chronicle, one of th© oldest of the
San Francisco daily papers, ceased its publication
on the 12th of May. For the last year or two it had
been the organ of the Republican party in this city.
It is said that a Douglas-Brodarick Democratic pa
per will rise out of its ashes.
A good deal of excitement exists amoug the mi
ners of Tuolumne county, concerning rich discove
ries of quartz in that c unty.
We have dates from Oregon to the Bth, and from
Washington Territory to the 11th May. The news
is unimportant, the local papfers being taken up with
accounts from the Frazer river mines, and discuss
i-jg the beet routes to reach them—each claiming
fi r its own territory the preference. Occasional
Indian outbreaks are taking place, and fears are
sometimes entertained of a serious rising among the
1 ribes.
Courtesies of Congress.—A row in Congress
has now become part of the stereotyped daily news.
The last ohronicled was the affray between Wt.son
oi Massachusetts and Gwiu ot Caiitornia. G wiu
insinuated that Wilson was a “demogogue;'’ Wil
aou retorted by hinting that Gwiu was a “thief,”
G win closed tee controversy-by denominating Wil
sou a “cowatd and a liar.” It is not stated that tbe
beuate was much disturbed by this amiable colloquy,
ludeea, of Sate, similar dialogues have been frequent
■nough to accustom the Senate to th 4 use of narsh
terms. Ooly a day or two since, Jeff. Davis aud
Benjamin,of Louisiana came within an ace of adnel,
the words “insolence and • impertinence’’having
been iuliy applied by tbe one to the other. A short
tune befo’ie. Senators Green and Cameron gave each
other the lie and Clay ol Alabama has had two or
three inoet abusive passages with bis colleague. Its
is the same story in the House. Harris and Hughes
. ave each other the lie; Grow knocks fckeitt down ;
and at least half a dozen members repeatedly bauily
tbe grossest imputations and tbe tuuiest epithets
without hesitation. This seems to be tbe received
style of Congressional debate
One remark thereon mas; he made. Heretofore
if has been usual to regaid with sumenontempf and
.oathing the shoulder nittere of Tammany, the bul
lies ot the h ive Points and the ruffians of the prima
ry meetings, this can bar ly be jusulied hereafter.
If' or it is now manifest that between these ruffians
,mil our representatives in the two bouses Ol Con
gress the slight difference which exists is in la.-or of
me f riser. Tiie rowdies and the Seuat-yra and
Representatives affect the same style of discussion,
and employ tbe same ep.thets aud like oaths, but,
whereas the former are always ready to take and to
give satisfaction where harsh word have pas?-d,
the Congressmen and Senators seem always able to
wriggle out of their quarrels by some Pickwickian
method Taere to no danger of their ever coming

Washington, June 10,1858.
To t*cc Senate and Hoi.se of Represent alive* :
I trausmit a copy of a despatch from Governor
Camming to the Secretary of State, dated at Great
Silt Lake City on the 2d of May, and received at
the Department of State oa yesterday From this
there is reason to belive that our difficulties with
the Territory of Utah have terminated, and the
reigu of the Constitution and the Laws has been
restored I congratulate you on this auspicious
event*
I lose no time in communicating this information,
and iu expressing the opinion that there will be n
occasion to make any appropriation for the purpose
of calling into service the two regiments of voiun
teers authorized by the act of Congress ap; roved
on the 7th of April last, for the purpose of quelling
diriurb&naae in the Territory of Utah, for the pre
lection of supply aud emigrant trains, aud the sup
pression of Indian hostilities on the frontier.
I an tfie more gratified at this satisfactory intel
ligence from Utah because it will afford some relief
t- -he Treasury, at & time demanding from us the
strictest economy, and when the question which
now arises upou every new appropriation is wheth
er it be of a character so important and urgent as
to brock no delay, aud to justify and require a loan
and most probably a tax upon the people to raise
the money necessary fbr its payment.
In regard to the regiment of volunteers authoriz
ed by the same act iff Congress to be called into
service for the defen dos tL* frontiers of Texas
against Indian hortpries. 1 desire to leave this
question to Coqgrecjsfnbaerving at the same time
that, in my opinion, the State can be defended for
the present by the regular troops, which have uot
yet been withdrawn from its limits.

The accompanying despatch from Gov. Gumming
is of great length, and gives a full and satisfactory
account of his reception among the Mormons :
In the letter to Secretary Gass, Gov. Gumming
saye he left the camp on the sth of April, en route to
Salt Lake City, accompanied by Col. Kane aa his
guide, and two servants. In passing through the
settlements, he was greeted with such respectful at
tentions as were due to the representative of the
Executive authority of the United States iu a Terri
tory Near the Warm Springs, at a line dividing
the Great Salt Lake from Davis county, he was
honored with a formal and respectful recej tion by
many gentlemen, including Ihe Mayor and muni-
cjpal officers of th# city, and by ilie.Ri escorted to
longings previously prepared, the Mayor occupying
a ?eat at his side in the carriage.
Ex-Governor Young paid him a visit of ceremo
ny as soon as he was sufficiently relieved from the
fatigue of his journey to receive company. In a
subsequent interview, ex-Goveruor Young evinced
a willingness to afford him every facility he might
require for the efficient performance of his adminis
trative duties. Brigham Young’s course in this re
spect, Governor Gumming ranoied, roJi with the
entire approval of a majority of the Salt Lake com
munity.
Tlie territorial seal, with other public property,
ws.3 tendered to Governor Gumming by William H.
Hooper, the late acting Secretary of the Territory,
the records and library remain unimpaired. Gov
ernor Cumining entered upon the performance of
Lis official duty. With feelings of profound regret
he latrned that the agent, Mr. Huit, was charged
with having incited to acts of hostility the Indians in
the Viata yalley. The information came from Mr.
Hooper. He hoped that Mr Hurt could vindicate
himseU from the charges, yep they demand an in
vestigation.
Gov. Cumining had informed Gen Johnston that
lie should probably be compelled to make a requisi
tion for a sufficient force to chastise the Indians.
At every point he wa- recognized as the Govern
or of Utah, and received with a military salute, the
houses being illuminated in his honor.
Having heard numerous complaints, Gov. Gum
ming caused public notice to be ppsted signifying
his readiness to relievo those who deemed them
selves aggrieved by being illegally restrained of
Iheir liberty, and aßßurmgtthe protection of ail per
sons. He Kept his office open at all hours, night and
day, and registered 56 men and 33 women and 71
children, as desirous of his protection, and eviuc
ing their diflofieffion of proceeding to the Uni
ted States. A largerimy only of these people were
of Ecgiish birth, and were promised assistance to
be rcnto'ved.
Gov. Gumming says that, his visit to the taberna
cle will never Lo forgotten. There were between
three and four thousand people assembled for the
purpose of. public* worship. There was the most
profound silence \\ ben he appeared. Brigham
Young introduced him as the Governor of Utah, and
Governor Gumming addressed them for hat an
hour, telling them that it wits hia purpose to uphold
Ult.* Constitution,.and thai, he would expect their
obedient - to all lawful authority, assuring them of
his determination to administer equal and exact
justice, etc. He was listened ( respectfully. He
invited responses, and uevetul spoke ( referring in
excited touts to the murder of Joseph Smith, to the
services rendered by the Mormon battalion in the
Mexican war, and recapitulated a long chapter of
their wrongs. The tumult fearfully increased, but
an appeal from Brigham Young restored calm
ness. Seyeral afterwards expressed regret at their
behavior.
Gov. Gumming proceeds t o describe the exodus
of the Mormons. The people, including the inhabi
tants of Sait Lake, iu the Northern part oi the ter
ritory, are leaving ; tho roads are everywhere filled
with wagons loaded with provisions and household
furniture, the women and oldldren following after
wit bout shoes or halt,, driving their docks they
know not where.
They seemed not only content but cheerful. It
is the will of the Lord, they say, and they rejoice
to change the comforts of home for the trials of
ihe wilderness. Their ultimate destination was
not fixed upon. Going suuth seemed tp be suffi
cient to designate the place, but from the private
remarks of Young in his tabernacle, Gov. Gum
ming thinks that they are going to Sonora.
Brigham Young, Kimball, and most of the influ
ential men, had loft their comtnudious mansions to
swell the ranks of the emigrants. The masses
everywhere announced to Gov. Gumming that the
torch wilt be applied to every house indiscriminate
ly, throughout the country as soon as the troops at
tempt to cross the mountains. Th© people j though
scattered, svery ms at? a would be taken to rally
them. Some of the Mormons are yet in arms, and
the Governor speaks of th 6 mischief they are capa
ble of rendering as guerillas. The way tor the emi
grants to the pacific is open.
Gov. Gumming says that be would leave for the
South on the 3d of May. He says that lie will re
strain all the proceedings of the military for the
present, and until he shall receive additional in
structions from the President.
Supreme Gouri.
The docket of the present term is unusually heavy
for this district, and the Gourt is disposing of it
with commendable despatch, it is now engaged
upon the cases from the Middle Circuit, which con
stitute the greater part of the business of the term,
and are likely to occupy the time of the Gourt for
the remainder of the week. At the adjournment
yesterday, cases Nos. 9 and 10 (consolidated) were
under consideration, and will be resumed this morn
ing. Thus far the Court has delivered its opinion
in but three cases, a minute of which will be found

an action upon a contract brought by Williams
against Linton &, Cos., to recover damages for loss
alleged to have been sustained by him through the
failure of the defendants to deliver certain flour ac
cording to agreement. On the part of the defendant
it was contended that the contract was void for the
want of mutuality, and could not be sued on, being
void under the 17th section of the Statute of Frauds.
The Court non suited the plaintiff s. Ou the case

COGROLLIfIG AND LotSBY MANAGEMENT IN CON
cress—The report of the Investigating Commit
tee on tbe tai iff corruption case is a rich mine of
information and wealth of secrets. The evidence
o: many of the witnesses should be published and
re-published until the people have it by heart, in or
<ler that people may understand how the legislation
of the country is carried on. Let us glance for in
t lance at the evidence of Mr A. R. Corbin, formerly
• St. Louis, but tor the last fourteen years a citizen
of Washington, and sometime a clerk of the Com
mittee of Congress on. Claims.
Mr. Corbin’s first acquaintance with lobbv man
agement w* when he ‘‘felt a deep interest in the
success ‘ oi liie Illinois Railroad bill. That bill, it
.seems, could not have parsed on its own merits.—
But there wa? a bill pending for a revision of the
tariff in the interests of Pennsylvania and New
Eugland, and after much negotiation it was arrang
ed that if the protectionists w..,uid vote for the Illi
nois Railroad bill, the Western and Southern men
interested in the railroad would return the compli
ment on the tariff question. Combined, the two
parties commanded a majority of Congress. People
must uot pau?e —as there is go much temptation to
do—to reflect upon this pretty piece of logrolling.
The best a to come. Be’ore eirher bill came up, it
was ascertained by the friends of rbe I!Hno ; e Rail
road tha? a strong section of the Southern men were
resolved to do nothing more for New England tiH
she had altered her view? on the slavery question,
and that consequently the new tariff bill would Dot
pass At first blush this seemed a fatal objection
On reflection, however, it was determined to trick
tbe tariff men. Their b:f! was introduced and refer-.
red to the Committee of t ie Whole, before the rail
road measure waa touched. This done, and while
the tariff bill was in committee and before it could
be reported back, the Illinois Railroad bill wa*
rpeung upon the House and passed by a small ma
joriry. The tariff bill came up aboniy afterward
and was duly defeated— the fllinats mm beine

Legislative Corruption in Pennsylvania.—
According to the reveiatums of our Harrisburg cor
respondent, w*- may shortly expect a terrible iegie
iative spoils,plunder, bribery and corruption explo
sion in Penn?} 1 vania. A ) ear or two ago the State
canals, <fec., of that commonwealth, which ooet her
forty millions of dollars, and which were worth
twenty or at ieftst fifteen miUious at the time of their
sale, were sold for seven millions. We are now in
formed that legislative bribery and corruption ( ala
Wisconsin] did the business. “ ll there be any truth
in these rumors, let it be made known. Let us at
least have as foil an exposition of the business as
the honeet portion of the Wisconsin Legislature,
brought out in reference the late bribed and cor

not recover tbe money, they derive some comfort
from knowing who are rogue* -N. Y. Herald.

Indian Fight near Honey Lake Nfemr bas
beeu received that a smart engagement recently
took place near Honey Lake, between a party of
Mormuns and white residents on the ones de, and
a large number of Pitt River Indians ou the other.
The Sa< r&mento Union say.- :
The fight took place at Goose Lake, about two
hundred miles in a Northerly direcrioa from Honey
Lake Valley, three hundred mffes from Ytt-ka.aud
near the Lawson route leading to the Humboldt
Meadows. It was Thought about twenty'five In
dians were either killed or wouuded, and ten In
dian scalps obtained. More would have been ta
ken had not the Indians carried on their .fight iu a
deep and almost inaccessible glen, which could only
be approached with great exposure. On the nigiit
of April 24th, the Mormon party was surprised oy
st>me fifty or sixty Indiana, previous to the junction
with the Honey Lake patty, and twenty-three of
their horses stampeded.
Subsequently a pailey was had, and the iudians
agreed, iu consideration of a tent and some clothing
to briug in the horses, and desired one of the Mor
mon pasty to go with them and help drive the horses
in. Dr. Si'as G Higgins volunteered, and, after
being absent nearly all day, it appeared the Indians
were returning with the b€kfßeß, when the party
from Honey Lake, .some fifteen persons, who had
bt!©n hunting Indians for having committed robbe
ries, came up aDd fired upon tue savages, without
previous concert with the Mormons. Immediately
the Indians turned their guns aud arrows upou Ilig
gin?, fairly riddling his body, presuming that he had
been guilty of treachery toward them. One ball
passed through his groin, and lodged in his rectum.
At last accounts he was still living, at Honey Lake,
hav iug beeu carried to that place on a litter. The
Mormons had everything stolen from them by the
Indians previously, except their arms, a tent, a bed,
and some clothing.
The party of Mormous, which consisted of sev en
nic*u f three women, and two children, bad left Eu
gene City, (O. TANARUS.) March 6th, to proceed to Salt
Lake. Four of the party were formerly residents
in the vicinity of Sacramento, ai.d were named
David M. Stewart, Silas G. Higgius, Loreu/.o L.
Harmon, and Henry H. Winsloa They had been
ou a mission to Oregon and Washington territories
aud were making their course by way ol Yreku
aud anew Northwesterly route towards the Hum
boldt Meadows, when they encountered the Indiaus
as related. The Mormon party are now at lloney
Lake, with the exception of David M Stewart,
who arrived in Sacramento on the night of May
10th, aud who has furnished us with the above par
ticulars.
Indians in Plumas County.— According to the
account of a correspondent of the Marysville News,
wuo writes on April 23d from (Quincy, American
Valley, Plumas county, the whole va ley was in a
high state of excitement, ou account of the leceut
news from Honey Lake and lndiau Valleys. The
writer say3:—
Ou the night of 20th April, a messenger came in
from Indian Valley, who reported that the Pyutes,
SbosLones aud Washoes had banded together for the
purpose of destroying all the settlers in Hooey Lake
and Indian Valleys. The ludians had collected all
their tribes, from both valleys except two squaws
who remained in Indian Valley, and gave ike alarm
to the settlers. This evening I have seen a mes
senger just from Indian Valley, who is sent for the
purpose of obtaiuing an adequate supply of arms
and ammunition, lie reports the settlers m a very
great state of excitement in both valleys ; they are
building forts, and consider themselves in momen
tary danger of an attack from the redskins. He
says that Indian spies can be seen iu droves, hover
ing around the valley during the day, and that at
night they make bold to come to the very doors of
the settlers.
The Orovilie Advertiser of 7th of May says that,
it had received information, by way of La Porte,
Sierra county, that hostilities had commenced be
tween the Indians gnfi the whites in die upper coun
ty. A fight was said to have come off three days
before, when, it was stated, twenty ludians haa
been killed. It was not mentioned whether the
whites had suffered loss, or w r hich party held the
the ground.
The Extraordinary Rich Quartz Veins in
Tuolumne County —The Sonora papers continue
to talk largely of the recent quart u discoveries in
Tuolumne county. The Herald of thqt town of May
Ist, says;
The opinion is generally entertained at Bonor i
that the Soulsby claim contains the richest quartz
vein yet discovered in California. Persons who
have visited it tell us that every piece ot rock taken
from it contains gold visible to th3 naked eye. A
second tuunel has been opened in the vein, in which
rock as rich as in the first has been found ; and the
deeper the excavation the richer the rock proves.—
Stories are current ot offers of fabulous prices hav
ing been made for shares in ihe claim, which,
whether true or not, ouly go to show iu what esti
mation the claim is held. Fifty-two pounds of gold
were taken from the amalgam on the 2ith April.—
This was the result of four days aud nights crush-
Wallace Si Go., owning a claim on the divide
betweeh the north and Middle forks of tho Tuo
lumne, known as the “Buchanan” claim, made a
blast one day this week, which yielded them about
three thousand dollars We have seen several of
the pieces of rock, which are very rich. * *
From Southern California. —We have re
ceived San Diego and Los Angelos papers to the
Bth of May. The Los Angelos papers give tho la
test news from the Colorado liver aud Arizona
Territory, which we condense as follows -.
Coarse placer gold has been found iu anew fiel l
at the Picaehe, 15 miles Southeast of the Puno Vil
lages. At the Gauado de Oro, eight miles from
Tueson, old Coyote diggings have been recently
explored more than 150 feet into the mountain aide,
and 45 cents to the pan of dirt was obtained, but
tlie miners were compelled to desist* from, the great
number of rattlesnakes with which the holes were
filled. Gold fields have also been discovered 50
miles East of Tueson.
Governor Wainwright is putting up smelting fur
naces near San Javier, aud reports good prospects.
Arizona Territory ie in a quiet condition, the In
diana of that section of tho country being peaceable.
Operations at, the Arizona copper mine are all but
suspended, for tlie want of proper means of sinelL
ing. Au immense quantity of ore has been extract
ed. which remains there, waiting for. the erection
of furnaces. The men had all been discharged, the
superintendent of the mine alone remaining in
charge of the works.
The Ives’ Expedition. —Messrs. Taylor and
Peacock of Lieut. Ives’ expedition, came up from
San Diego on the 7th of May, on their way to San
Francisco. Mr. Taylor goes on to Washington,
with the maps and mineral specimens. Lieutenant
Ives succeeded iu getting his boat about sixty miles
further up th-! Colorado river than Gant. Johnson
of the General Jessup had attained. The country
is represented as being rich in silver, copper, and
other minerals, but not adapted to cultivation. —

Arrival of Silver Ore in San Diego. —There
was considerable excitement in San Diego on Sun*
day, 25th April, on the occasion of the an iva!, from
the Gadsden Purchase, of s-x eight-mule teams
loaded with silver ore from the Ileintzleman mine.
This is the first cargo. They have out at the mine
some seventy tons, averaging SI,OOO per ton, aud
about eighteen tons, worth from $3,000 to $4,000
per ton, is now lying at Fort Yuma waiting ship
ment. The teams here will take back machinery
necessary for extracting the silver at the very mouth
of the mine, and it is expected that they will have
the works in full operation by the Ist of August.—
San Diego Herald.
The Sonora Surveying Expedition.— We are
indebted to Capt. WaHi, of the U. S. Transport
Monterey, for t he following interesting intelligence:
The news from Fort Yuma is to the effect that ali
the Indiana in the vicinity are quiet and on the most
friendly terms with the whites. Mr. Whiting, who
is in command of the Sonora surveying party at
this point, had left the Fort on the 22dx>f February,
(having completed the river survey,) and intended
to continue his work, in boats, aa far as Adair Bay ;
thence to proceed to Guaymas. On the 13th March,
Mr. Whiting with a portion of his party returned to
the river for a fresh supply of water; also, to dis
charge some of his party and make arrangements
for the transportation of the remainder to Guaymas,
so si m as he completed the survey of Adair, it be
ing impossible for them to carry out their original
intention, to proceed to that point in their own
boats, during the gale above mentioned—thus re
duced to but one boat, in which they could not car
ry over twenty days’ supply of wafer.
On the 31st March, the steamer Colorado returned
frofn Port Yuma, bringing nows Hint the govern
ment aud people of Sonora were bitterly opposed to
the “survey,’’ and had determined to prevent the
lauding of the party aud the progress of the work.
Mr. Whiting has landed the party, who are busi
ly engaged in making mapp. sketches, etc , aud
quietly awaiting the arrival of the Chief of Com
mission, who is daily expected.
Gov. Pesquirera has been entirely triumphant,
having defeated and dispersed the Gandaia party,
moat of the chiefs being billed; among them Don
Jesus Candara. The whole force of the Govern
ment ia now concentrated on the Rio Yaqui; the
Indiana have been driven from the river, and the
Governor has come to the determination to colonize
the valley with whites, and thus destroy the army
of the Gandariataa. Guaymaa, at present, ia in a
comparative degree of quiet, but business ia very
dull.
Prom Oregon and Washington. —We have
tiles of Oregon papers to the Bch ot May inclusive:
Another Indian Outbreak— The Oregonian
of the 24 th of April says :
The Indians at the North have again commenced
to murder, rob and plunder the inhabitants. It ia
said that two men who were on the way to the
mines were murdered a few days since, by Kamia
kin’s band of Indians. Col. Steptoe, at the latest
dates we have from Walla Walla, was on the point
of starting with a detachment ot United .States
troops in pursuit of the murderers. He had learned
the name of the Indians, and expressed entireeonfi
denci in the report, and was determined to arrest
and punish them.
Fort Colville Miners Killed. —A note was
received by the Portland Times, dated at the Dal
les, 23d April, which stated (as alluded to in the
previous item from the Oregonian,) that two miners
returning from Colville, were recently murdered
by a party of Pelouse Indians ; that the attacking
party numbered five. One of the murdered is said
to have been a mao by the name of Golenger, for
merly of the U. S. A. “Cos. K.” The sam* parry
subsequently ran away a number of cattle belong
ing to Uncle Sam, at VValla*Walla.
At Port Orford the people w'ere in great conster
nation on the 6th inet ,on account of a report that
five hundred Indians had broke from the Reserva
tion, and, consequently, they were momentarily tx
peering an attack. The miners and ranchmen were
coming in from all parts of the surrounding country,
and determined to give th*-m a warm reception.
The Frazer River Isold Mines. — The Califor
nia papers, brought by the Star of the Wtb t, are
iiiie.i with accounts of the gold mines lately discove
red in Oregon and the section of country about the
Frazer and Thompson rivers, long letters from cor
respondents w’ho have started on their search for
gold, and from diggers and residents m the gold
regions, news of the departure of hundreds from
California to try their luck farther north, aud com
ments upon the probable effe-1 the stirring events
will have in developing and peopieing the great
Pacific States.
The first statements regarding the Frazer Mints,
which were pnt forth by the San Francisco press,
were so plausible as to obtain almost universal
credence, and straightway hundreds of the hardy
and adventurous miners, who had toiled in Califor
ma with more energy than success, made up their
minds to try the new diggings at the North. Hun
dredswere smitten with this new gold fever in every
town of considerable size in California, and un
taught by past experience, from the very tiret the
fabulous richness of the diggings seems to have
been received almost as a foregone conclusion.
The heads of the different Chinese companies arc
making arrangements to ship their countrymen to
the northern mines , for, though prevented from on
tering California by the stringent laws recently pace
ed by the Legislature, in the British possession the
Chinese are afforded the same protection and fa
cilities as the whites. Thefirst emigrations, of course,
have been vagabonds, gamblers and oourtelans,
with a few hard-working miners. At .he departure <
of the steamer perhaps 1,500 or 2,Odd bad reached
some part of Oregon or the British possessions, or
were on their way thither
The Hudson s Bay Company s officials are said to
be very accommodating and famish every facility
to miners to reach t. eir destination, witn a view’ of
promoting emigration.
Should the fever continue, and future discoveries
from the mines be as nch as they now promise, it is
quite likely that in six months California will have
sent 20,000 of her population to the mines The
existence of gold mines in Washington ana Oregon
territories, not to speak of the British provinces,
rivaling those of California in her palmiest days,
will be not unlikeiy to call out an emigration from
the East second only to that of 1849,1850 and 1851.
firom the New Orleans Picayune of Friday.
Luterfrom Mexico,
Thadteamship Tennessee, which left Vara Cruz, ;
on Monday, the 7th inst . arrived here yesterday.
\\ o perceive from an announcement in ihe Ex
traordinary that the Heraldo is exfiuct, and that its
successor, the Aurora, had also disappeared after
one issue, on account—abundantly good reason far
Mexico, lorsooth—of “supreme displeasure with the
conduct of the editor, Senor Godoy.
The Extraordinary aaya the city haa beeu much
excited by a decree of the Government imposing a
forced loan of 1 per ceut. on the capital okforeigners.
With regard to the liability of citizens to it, it quotes
the article from the treaty of
Atrt. 10. In all that relates to the police of the
ports, the lading and unlading of ships; the safety
of merchandise, goods, and effects, the sub)sots- ot
His Britannic Majesty, .-nd the citizens of ‘Mextco.
respectively, shall be subject to the local laws and
regulations of tha dominions and territories in which
they may reside. They shall be exempted from all
compulsory military service, whether by secff
land. No forced oans shall be levied upon them •
nor shall their property be subject to any obef
charges, requisition, or taxes, than such are paid by
the native subjects or citizens of the*contracting
parties in their respective dominions.
With regard to American citizens long correspon
dence is published, in which Mr. Forsyth, U. S.
Minister at Mexico, announces that a meeting of
members of the diplomatic corps had been held, but
that they were not of accord . and that he had sutr
eequently formally protested against the enforce
ment of the decree. He recommends American
citizens to “decline to make the declaration requir
cd by the Bth article of the decree of the lftfb, and
decline to pay any contributions which may be as
sessed upon their capital by the commissioners pro
vided for that purpose.” We have not the decree
before us, but it would seem that its object is to
compel a declaration of the amount of capital posses
sed.
The protest of Mr. Forsyth is published at rail
length. It appears from this that there were in Let
two decrees, virtually, however, only parts of one.
Mr Forsyth says:
By the first, a “contribution” is imposed, for ouce
only, of about one psr cent upon every capital of
leal and personal property, of the value iff not less
than five thousand dollars, aud not exceeding one
million five hundred thousand dollars. The “con
tribution” is to be paid, one-fourth iu fifteen days,
one-fourth in twenty days, one-fourth in forty aaya
and one-fourth iu sixty days, from tho dat6 of the
publication of the decree ; stringent regulations are
provided for the prompt discovery or the amount
of property possessed by individuals, and for tlie
e election ot the “contribution” in shares of the Na
t oual Bank, established by the second decree, and
the National Bank, thus supplied with its capital
and its stockholders, is invested with the general
control of the finances of the nation.
He then quotes the Diario Official, to show that
the object of the impost was to sustain troops and
establish a National Bank ; and Sr. Otbon, Gover
nor of Sau Luis, aa speaking of it as a preslamo
forzoso; and expresses the opinion that it “is dts
t'tuu* oi all the elements of a regular tax, but has,
ott the cooti ary, all those which constitute a forced
loan.”
His reasons are given aa fol’ows :
Firsf-~1l is irregular aud unusual iu its incep
tion ; it is imposed, not by virtue of auy subsisting
or customary laws, but by virtue of a very sudden
aud unexpected decree j ir is to be enforced by ra
pid and stringent steps : it is to take effect for ouce
only, “por uua sola vez lt is a temporary, finan
cial expedient, suggested by the pressing necessi
ties of civil strife, and has no analogy with any sys
tem o’* taxation recognized and practiced by us
tiona, governed ly sound and stqble law*.
Second— lt is partial, unequal and unjust in ifs
operation; leaving, aa it does, two extremes above
and below which no contribution at all is said, aud
establishing a large inequality in the bases of con
tribution by those capitals that are within those ex
tremes.
With these large exemptions from all ‘''contribu
tion,” and with these inequalities among those who
are comseUed to pay, the undersigned must deem
it as differing, toto carlo, from a lawful tax, which,
from its very nature, must be general- uniform and
JU U T
Third- It is irregular aud unusal in its appropria
tion . From the statement already alluded to in
the “Diario Oficial,” and from his own observations
the undersiguod L satisfied that the funds obtained
by means of this “contribution” are intended to be
employed, iu the first instance, to sustain troops en
gaged in the civil war, uow unhappily devastating
the country, and, afterwards to form, iu whole or in
part, the basis of the National Bank, with the shares
of which it is proposed to repay it.
Mr. Forsyth then eputejuds. that, iu accordance
with the soundest principles of international law,
the properly of the citizen remains free from any
such oppropriatiop, iq nev foreign country, as is
made by thiw decree , and finally refers to the Brit
ish treaty, as above quoted ha showing that “do
forced loans shall be levied,” and to our treaty of
April 5, 1831, placing United biatea citizens upon
the same footing of the most favoted nation, yJm
therefore not liable to “forced loans.”
The Constitutional President, Juarez, hag issued
a decree declaring ifis decree of Zufoaga, closing all
port.sjnit Tuxpaa, Tampico and Mazatlan, null, aud
providing for the discharge of vessels without the
terms required from consulates under tlie law of the
3Lei of January, 1856, when consuls, pleading the
Zuloaga decrees as supreme, shall refuse to comply
with then*, at the requirement of the constitutional
authorities.

A Destructive Flood. —Our city aud surround
ing country were visited on Saturday afternoon by
the most destructive flood that has occurred since
that of June 14, 1837—within two days of tweuty
unc years ago. Tho volume of water that came
downjoues’ Falls, which passes through the heart
of the city, is believed to have beeu much greater
than during the flood of 1837. .The old atone bridg
a at Gay aud Baltimore streets, which, choked
up with floating driftwood, then acted as a dam,
having since been removed and the stream spanned
with iron superstructures, leaving a clear flow for
the water, the flood did not rise in the inundated
portions of the city as high by three feyt an on the
former occasion. The damage in the city is conse
uuently not so great, but the area of country over
which this calamity is spread is much more exten
ded, and that the aggregate loss of property is pro- 4
bably greater. In 1837, the flood was confined alto
gether to Jones’ Falls, and was supposed to have
been caused by some peculiar phenomenon that haa
never been explained. In Gwynn’s Falls, Sbroe
der’s Run, Herring Run, Rock Run, the Patapsco,
and all their tributary streams, the destruction of
property on Saturday was very great, swelling the
aggregate loss—the full extent, of which will proba
bly not be ascertained for some days to come, as
nearly all the turnpike bridges ou these, streams
have been swept away.
This is the sixth great freshet that lias occurred
on Jones’ Falls since the settlement of Baltimore,
carrying away the dams and bridges, and flooding
the lower portion of the city, weet of the.stream. —
The last four of these floods are said to have been
at intervals of twenty-one years, though we are uot
able to-give their precise dates.
We regret, to be called on to add that this flood,
like those that have preceded it, was not unaccoin
panied by the loss ot human life. Two colored wo
men were drowned iu Stony Run, and one man in
Jones’Falls, at Mount Vernon factoiy, which is
all we have been able to learn up to the present
time.— Balt.. Am&r.
Latest from Salt Lake —The City not to be
Abandoned.— The Fort Bridger correspondent of
tlie Tribune, under date of Apr.l 22d, writes that
the impression of the people is that everything is to
be peacefully and quietly arranged. The orders to
tlie pooplc to move had been countermanded and
all ihe church wagons which had been sent to tho
settlements for this purpose had been recalled.—
They were uow commencing to plough (rad sow
their fields aud to cultivate the gardens iu the city.
The weather in the Salt Lake Valley has been
unusually mild, and the expressmen who came in
report that the grass in the valley was at this time
nearly six inches high.
The Deseret News of the 7th inst. contains an
editorial article in regard to the Indian difficulties,
from which it is inferred, that they are endeavoring
to change the issue, and charge us with the crimes
of which they have beeu guilty, namely, inciting the
Indians to attack the whites.
John Kimball aud Fayette Northern, not mem
bers of the Mormon church, say that the people
generally looked upon the arrival of Gov. Gumming
in their rnidat as a certain indication that a coin,
promise of some sort was to be effected, and the
whole difficulty settled. The people are strongly
in favor of an arrangement of the affair, and are
oppored to the idea of moving away and leaving
the homes. They were, however, still engaged in
packing up, and making preparations to start. The
order for a movement to the White Mountains had
been countermanded, and they were now ordered
to concentra’e around Fillmore Gity.
It is said that Gov. Gumming had opened an
office in Great Salt Lake City, and taken a clerk,
(Leo Hawkins, a Mormon, against whom there has
been preferred an indictment for treason,) and was
acting, as far as was in his power, aa Governor of
the territory , but the people generally, as we are
informed, refuse to acknowledge him as such.
The President StickstoHis Text. —OnSatur
day last the President admonished Congress very
plainly that they had better not be in too much of a
hurry in dosing up the session—that the wants of
the treasury must be prov.ded for; but that the
probable deficiency cannot be ascertained until the
pending appropriations and private bills, &c , shall
be finally passed. At all events it would be impos
sible for him to ascertain tbe additional means re
quired for the ensuing fiscal year before Monday
(this day.) The President also repeats the statement
of his aunual message, that except in extreme case*
he i3 resolved not to approve any bill which hd can
not have the opportunity first deliberately to exam
ine. This is and it is the best check against
the artful dodges of the lobby that has ever been
suggested from any quarter. We suspect, there
fore, in pursuance of these reasonable and season
able views and recommendations of the President,
that the present session of Congress, which other
wis± would have terminated to day, will be prolong
•id for several days more ; and we have no doubt
that tbe results ol the extension will be a saving to
the treasury and the pockets of the people, though
h dead Iqss totbe spoils gamblers of the lobby. We
like the pluck of “Old Buck,” as a man who sticks
to his text. — N. Y. Herald.
The Mediterranean Squadron. —Three of the
ve.-eels of the Mediterranean Squadron have been
sent to the Gulf, where there ia a possibility of eer
vice without much prospect of show. A conteiu

.Mediterranean ships have done nothing, except

Kosta, two very expensive arrangements. In the
case of Kossuth, however, it 3T but just to remem
ber that the commander of the ship which brought
him Jo tbe United States only acted according to
his orders, aud gave considerable offence at the
rime by failing to make such a demi-god of the Hun

fact, Capt. Long saw at once that the lion was but

I'WiWf StfCninbom Explosion .'•-Near Two
Hundred J rive* Lom(.
We have to record at the present time, probably
the most terrible “Steamboat accident ana loss of life
that ever occurred upou the Mississippi. The tine
p:earner Pennsylvania, commanded by Captain
Klhftelter, and plying between thecitiee of St. Louie
ami New Orleans, as she Was nearing the lower
point of BerdeeV Island, lying about seventy miles
beldr this city, Sunday mvruing last, between the
how* of p’x mid seven, exploded two of her boilers J
—making a report as of an hundred pieces of heavy j
ordinance; awl blowftgtfe entire front portion of
the boat, together Wist) about two hundred of tier
passengers—both deck and cabin—hundreds of feet
into toe air. Many of them were asleep in their
berths at the time, and were harried, uuwokeaed,
into eternity. Ir Is said the riv**r, a fqw momenta I
after this awful occurrence, pieseuted one ot the I
most harrowing affitaefcof dteaster ever v/itnesfed. I
Captain Klemfeiter hapoened to be in ♦he barbel*- I
shop at the moment, and thereby e sped sharing I
the flat* of the more unfortunate As soon as pos- I
sible, he ordered the anchor to be cast, but the line I
soon snapped, and (be boat* which iu the mean trait* I
had taken ffVe, floated on down ; a wood boat was I
hailed The owner, Mr. Harnsoir, came to the im- I
mediate rescue; the dead, dying and wounded, aa I
well as the living, were put on the wood boot! save I
a tew who could not be token off before the wrbck I
to >k tire. At one time the wood boat seemed a* it I
adhering to the wreck, and mb oh serious appreben- I
sion Was felt as to the prospect of dtome two hundred I
being burnedup in the wood-boat. Owing, bo we v- I
er, to the energy and decision of purpose of a tew I
noble and daring spirits, the wood boat after be ng I
separated was drawn over to Ship aud Battle Island!
where t bey wirneesed the wreck burn upbeiow them. I
iu a space of about ten minutes, and where they re I
iearned until about I o'clock, when the ste imer Im I
penal, bound “for New Orleans, was hailed, and I
lowed the wood-boat down to Austin.
A large number of the passengers, both of the I
wounded and unhurt, remained h upon the bank, I
near the scene, until about 1 o’clock in the after- I
noon, when the Kate Frisbee came up, took them I
*n board and brought them to Memphis. The no- I
ble conduct of the officers of the Frisbee has re- I
oeivad aju3t tribute of expression in a card from I
her passengers, vrhifrh will be found In another I
place this morning. Four died on the Frisbee 1
while coming.Jop—Janves Dorris, chief engineer ; I
lttfther Dellcrop, New Orleans . N Bautscher, n! I
Orleans ; Jobu Bautscher, New Orleans. The I
steamer Diana, which also came to the place of ac- I
trident, did her part, nobly. She took ten of the I
wounded from the Frisbee. and brought them to I
Ihe wharf-boat here. Some she ft ok on up the river.
The exact cause of this heart-rending accident,
cannot be ascertained. We hadau Interview with
Mr. Dorris, surviving brother of tlie chief-engineer,
who was on watch at the time, and received his
own statement, which we have no reason to doubt.
He ays he tesled tlie boilers a few’ minutes before
the explosion, and found them apparently to con
tarn the proper quantity of water. They oniy had
on between IJO and I 15 pounds ot steam, while i
her charter permit J4U. They were not bring up
at the moment, but on the contrary, wrore cleaning
the coals out. of the furnaces. Her machinery ir as j
some seven years old, which, most, likely, was the
cause of her bursting. While talking to Mr. Dorr s,
we observed the plain print of a human band, in
blood, upon one ot hi3 shoulders. It was his broth
er’s who then lay a corpse near by. Both of them
owned an interest iu tlie Pennsylvania. Captain
Kl* .ufelter remained at the Island to gather the
bodies and whatever else he could f;om the wreck. 1

Thirty ol tho wounded aud scalded now lie in the
large court room of the Exchange Buildings, which,
for the present has been converted into a hospital.
Two of them have died since—the little German
boy, Betz, and a man, name unknown. Some ten
or twelve more will probably die ; indeed, they are
alnibst past hope of recovery. The-entire medical
profession of the city, repaired immediately -to the
sufferers bn their arrival here, and, have continued
to give them every attention. Our physicians de
serve the highest credit
Some 15 or 2ft more of the wounded are at the
Gay oßo —three o them died there yesterday—a
young Frenchman named Emanuel de Generes, the
bassc f the New-Orleaii3 French Opera troupe,
named Rauch, and another, whose name we could
not learn. Two of the number left by the Diana ou
the wharf boat died there yesterday morning. Every
hotel in the city contains several of these unfortu
nate beings, and the hospital has received all it can
accommodate The number of souls on the Penn
sylvania has been differently estimated—some
think there were an many as tUd, others 500.
The scene upon the Frisbee when she arrived —
the dead, dying, and horribly mutilated—was one of
the most terribly heart rending, soul-sickening,
that mortal ever saw, and we sincerely trust it may
be tbe last we may ever be called upon to witness.
Our citizenß have left nothing undone —they have
performed their duty entire.
Judge Win R Harris, of this city, and brother of
the present Governor, who was severely scalded
and otherwise hurt, is not expected to survive, as
we learned late last evening. He is one of the Su
preme J udges of this State.
Mr. Frederick H. Howard, Travelling Agent for
Jue!s Hauel At Cos., Philadelphia, whose name has
been omitted in the above list, we are glad to learn
is among the saved. He, like the rest, lost all he
had with him
Mens. Valle, of the Orleans French Opera, who ie
at the Gayoso, probably saved himself from death
by puiling the bed quilt over bis face, when he
heard the report of the bursted boiler The conse
quences are that he received no scalds, except upon
both hands, which were not covered.
It is said that Mr Dennis Corcoran, reported
amoßg the dead, was one of the editors of the New
Orleans Delta
The planters along tbe shore are said to have
done everything in their power to assist the passen
gers of the ill-fated boat..
The Dead ot Yksterdav.—Alexander Betz,
German boy, of New Orleans, and Joseph Siinoqds,
New Orleans, died at the Exchange Buildings ;
Cap*. Baker, of Boston, Xavier Rauch, baritoue of
tbe French. Opera, and the young Frenchman, Em
manuel de Generis, of Paris, died at the Gaycso.

I else in Utah beyond the immediate power of the
army, ludeedf such is believed to bo the condi
t.)ii to which ft strange system of terrorism has
brought the inhabitants of that region, that no
one among them could express au opinion favor
able to this government; or even pfhpase to obey
its Ihw*s, without exposing his life and property h
peril.
I Alter carefully considering this state of affairs
I and maturely weighing the obligation I was under
I to see tho laws faithfully executed, it seemed to me
I right and proper that 1 should make such useoflhe
I mi litary turce at ny disposal as might be necessary
I to protect the federal officers ia going into the Ter
I ritory oi Utah, and in performing their duties after
I arriving there. 1 according y ordered a detach
I nifciit of the army to march tor the City of Salt
I Like, or within reach of that place, and to act in
Lease of need as a posse for the enforcement of the
I ta as. But, in the meantime, the hatred of that
I misguided people for tho just and leval authority ot
I the government had become so intense that they
I resolyed to measure their military strength with
I tii at of the Union. They have organized an armed
I force ‘ar from contemptible in point ot numbers,
I and trained i; it not with skill, at least with nssidui-
ty and perseverance. While the troops of ti e Uni- j
rtc i States were on their march, a tram ot baggage J|
wagons, which happened to be unprotected, was.ifl
all mked and destroyed by a portion of the MonnoalH
forces, and ihe provbious and stores with which thejH
tram was laden were wantonly burul. In
their present attitudejs one oi decided au l
reserved enmity to the United States and to all
| loyal citizens. Their determination to oppose
I authority of the government by qffiitary force harll
not only been expressed in words, but mauiieated'Jß
in overl acts of ibe rno.,t unequivocal character. ‘•Wk
Fellow citizens of Utah, this is rebellion against™
the government‘to which you owe allegiance. It la TB
levying war against the United S ates, and involves %
| you in the guilt of treason. Persistence in it will ‘
! bring you to condign punish men!, to ruin auti to
j shame ; ior it is mere madness to suppose that, w*tb
your limited resources, you nan successfully resLt
tin? force of this great and powerful nation.
li you have calculated upon the forbearance of
the United States—if you have permitted your
selves to suppose that this government will tail to
put forth its strength and bring you to submission
you have fallen into a grave mistake. You have
settled upon territory which lies geographically in
the heart of the Union. The laud you live upon
was purchased by the United States and paid for
out of their treasury. The proprietary right and
title to it is in them, and not in you. Utali is boun
ded on every side by States and Territories whose
people are true-to the Union. It ia absurd to believe
that they will or can permit you to erect in their
very midst a government of your own, not ouly in
ti -pendent of tho authority which they all aeknow!
edge, but hostile to them and their interests.
Go ifot deceive yourselves nor try to mislead
others oy propagating the idea that this is a crusade
ag :iuet your religion The constitution and laws
oi this country can takw.no notice of your creed,
w beLher it be true or false. That is a question be’
i ween your God and yourselves, in which I disclaim
all right to interfere. If you obey the laws, keep the
pea e and respect the just rights of others, you will
be perfectly secure, and may live on In youi pres
ent faith r < hange it for another at your pleasure.
Every intelligent man among you knows Very well
that this government ha; never, directly or iudireoL
iy, sought to moled, you in your worship, to control
you in your ecclesiastical aifalrs, or even to influ
ence you in your religious opinions.
This rebellion is not merely a vijlation of your
legal duty ; it ia without just cause, without reason* jfl
without excuse. You never made a complaint that jigj
was not attended to wiih patience. You never ex*sjm
hibited a real grievance that wan not redressed as .Jm
promptly as it c >uld be. The law's and

Hut being anxious to save the effusion of blood, 3
and to avoid the indiscriminate puuishinent of a
whole people lor crimes of which it is not probable
that all are equally guilty, 1 offer now a full and
free pardon to all who will submit themselves to
t{ie authority of the fedeml government. If you re
fuse to aocept it, let the consequences fall upon your
own head. But I conjure you to pause deiibeiate
ly and i effect well beiore you reject this tender of
peace and good will.
Now, therefore, 1, James Buchanan, President of
the United Stales, have thought proper to issue this
my proclamation, enjoining upon all public officers
in the Territory of Utah to bn diligent and faithful,
to the lull extent of their power, in the execution
•f the laws; commanding all citizens of the United
States in said Territory to aid and assist the officers
in the performance of their duties; offering to the
inhabitants of Utah, who shall submit, to the laws ,
a free pardon to the seditions and treason hereto
tore by them cominitte :; warning those who shal
persist, alter notice of this proclamation, in the
present rebellion against the United States, that
; hey must expect no further lenity, but look to be
rigorously dealt with accoiding to their deserts,
and declaring that the militf ry forces now in Utah
and hereafter to be sent there wiilnotbe withdrawn
until the inhabitants of the Territory shall manifest
a proper sense of the duly which they owe to this
government.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my
hand, and caused the seal of the United States to
be affixed to these presents.

The Widow of Gen. Gaines Before Congress
—The widow of that distinguished soldidr. General
Gaines, applied to the present Congress for a little
pension of twelve hundred dollars a year, iu con
ideration of the services rendered by tier late hus
■jj*nd to the country. The modesty of this applica
tion, in view of those services, is universally con
ceded in and out of Congress; and yet the small
beer retrenchment polit iciana of both houses have
succeeded in cutting down the allowance to the
yearly sum of six hundred dollars, whereby a saving
us six hundred dollars has been made to the treasu
ry of the United States. Such things are among
*ue “cheeseparings and caudle end” savings ot
Congres; and-yet these very economizers, who
would waste a week to defeat the pension of a sol
diers’s widow, would, perhaps gulp down, without
wincing, a dozen railroad, land aud other spoils jobs,
amounting to millions of dollars, in the oouree of a
ingle day. Such are the demagogue reformers of
the present Congress.— N. Y. Herald.
