Citt or Mexico, April 18,1859. ] avail myself of an express about setting out for Vera Cruz, to send you a narrative of late exciting and important events in this capital. Miramon bv managed to make Lis escape from the C ntutional force* wbo held the cumbresof A mgo He forced the lines of 1 r aeon is and arrived here on the lltb, with two aids de camp, ; ust In Lir e to congratulate Gen. Marquez on a grr a* ictory over Gen. Degollado. Hi-army also cutc in the next day or two, most of them in good conditi n. The following is a summary of events. (ion. Degollado, a you already know, arrived b r’ore the city the alt He might then have evilly entered the city, when and where be pleased, eenecially at night Hut he suffered himself to be bsrubo zled, deceived by the millionaire Kscandon, (*r whoso place in Tacunaya he was living; Madrid .-.rid others of the Robles party, who made him be- Ifov* :i;at he had a large party within the walls of the city, ar.d that hie great personal popularity wouid oe damaged by violent measures! Why, everybody here would have torn him to pieces*. Kor ail suspected even of liberalism were and are still in dungeons. Jfo was so completely gulled, even, by those wolves in'sheep’* clothing, that he actually sent off ♦ .• Pinto* fold Alvarez’s men) lest they should com init outrages. Tills weakness of the General and the sport that wm made of it was well known here at the time, afterwards became a public jest, especially am >ng those who tad part in the game And foremost of them wa* the British Minister, Mr. Ot way, the greatest and worst foe of the Liberal par ty. because not the meet open one. This unworthy Representative of liberal England even sent Degol lado word that he was doing njury to his own per sonal standing and the cause he represented, by ’ itting off the water ; and, would you believe it, he v /he. fool enough to let it ail on again. M ireover, the garrison of Toluca and other places io the vicinity, even Gens. Mejia, Callejo and Mar quez, with their forces, artillery, wagons, Ate., weie allowed to come in without opposition—without even a show of it. When, then, the city could have been taken with little or no resistance, nothing was done ; but when w had become strong in men and artilh ry, then it wa • that an attack was made, in the face of our e'rongett battery, in broad daylight, by some gal imit riflemen, as it it had been designed to get rid •it tho bravest men. (This was the battle of the •~'o i>ist., already detailed to our readers. | The night before this at'ack was made, indeed, it was known it would take place the following day, and in ex pecta ion of it 1000 men were concentrated at that very point. In ft word, Degollado has been throughout de- Ived by villiao* whom he believed to be friends, by ‘r otors at his side in whom he reposed unlimit ed c itifidence. Everything that pa. sed in the councils of Degob la Jo nd every despatch sett off by him was known even to its minutest contents, three hours after in Uni city. Jiow then is it to be wondered at that he should be defeated, completely routed awn after? This brings me to the closing up of the affair. ( >n Sunday night {the 10th iuet j preparations were made lor an attack upon Degollaao’s headquarters, by a force of 5000 men, under Marquez. During tlm? night they wre allowed to Hank the euemy's pori'ions, and on Monday morning and the follow ing day, the force of Degollado, though lighting lit. tigers, were made to feel the superiority, in number and efficiency, of that very artillery and those very men whom their stupid chief had allow ed to.come unmolested to the aid of the city. The tinhorn and cowards of the c lef tied early in the fight and left their brave soldiers to make what feeble resistance they could afterwards. The result was, of courso.f i total reu'e. The only officers who behaved well were Gen. Pu-bliia and Col Lane, a gallant Englishman, who retieated with the remnant cf the army. Alter the action, and upon the field, deeds of boiror were committed such as can hardly be be lieved. but which can nevertheless be true. The cavalry ot Mat quez, urged on by several priests, amused themselves by lancing the wounded with whom the field was covered, none of whom were spared. T ree doctors, a Mexican, an Englishman, and an American, whose aarne* 1 have not ascertained yet, with two young students and a lad of twelve year*, who were found by Marquez in the hospital dressing or helping to drets the wounded of both parties, were by orders of this bloodthirsty villain dragged out end shot; but before being shot re ceived at the hands of a priest to whom they ap pealed, instead of comfort—curses. Geu Marquez returned to the city of Mexico two days afterwards iu triumph, with 180 prisoners dragged after him to give greater splendor no doubt to his entry. The night of the day on which the battle was fought all the convents and the private houses of the Spaniards, residing in Mexico, were illlunrunated. It appears that such deeds cf blood and murder were not. approved of by all the members of Mira rnon'fl Government; for the Minister of War , Gas lillo, and the Minister of Justice, Sagusita, have re signed, and Corona has been appointed to the former post. Gabriac, the French Minister, a Je uuit, is believed by all to be the instigator to these acts of cruelty which can only bo called assassina tions. Mr. Black, our Consul, has had hie pat sports sent to him. He applied to Mr. Otway, the English Minister, to take American citizens and property under ins protection, in the absence of any repre sentative of our Government in the capital, and his request was denied. This behavior 1 leave for the American people and world to comment on. I cannot believe even that the English Government will approve of such conduct. Correspondence of the Picayune. Auoilicr Otliciiil Account—Hreiulful Atro cities ui the ('itpituJ. City ok Mexico, April 19, 1859. The ads of barbarity which have beeu commit ted here in the past eight days are of such an atro cious, wanton and blood thirsty character, that one shudders at the mere thought of them. I must con fess that in endeavoring to narrate them my blood chills and my heait. sickens to think of these deeds —made more odious aud aggravated by the apathy shown by those who should, in the name of human ity aud civilization, have come forward to stanch the river of human b-ood and stay the hellish feast. On the 11th inst. the Federal* were driven from Ta*u bay a, partially by a display of force, hut princi pally, it is believed, by the treachery of some of their own general officers. The affair cost the Government very dearly—for every brave blouse who bit the dust, at least a dozen of the Govern ment troops went down to rise no more. The bat tle was a sanguinary one, and was gallantly sus tained by the few lighting men of the Federal army, all the Pintos having run off at once, without tiring h guu, and thus exposing about 3.000 of their com ladee to contend with 5,500 Government troops and forty pieces of artillery. The battle commenc ed at seven in the moruing aud lasted uutil alter ten, when the teperionty ot the Government artil lery told fearfully upon the riflemen of the Fede ralists, aud they were forced to retreat, carrying nearly all of their Bmk aud wouuded with them. The Government troops eutered Tacubaya at about half past seven, and tindiug but few of their wouuded opponents to revenge themselves upon, they commenced a most merciless persecution cl all and every defenceless person in the place. The soldier? were giver, aguardiente to drink, and soon bcooimug wildly drunk, they felt upon all those who were at all suspected ot having aided the Federal ists, and carried them off, iu the most brutal man ner, to places of oontiuemenf. The surgeons, who had volunteered their services to aid tae wounded 4>f bolh parties who had been brought to the hospi ta* Were, while engaged in their humane work, dragged to prison, aud, still more worse, on the same flight, shot like dogs, and afterwards nakedly exposed iu the patio of the church of San Diego, in Tacubaya, for the gratification of those who be lieve the Mine of Gcd was served by this fiendish brutality. Several gallant officers, who had been cut off and taken prisoners, with several quiet citi asne, were shot at the same time with the surgeons. The work commenced that night has continued, with little interruption, to the present time. How many innocent lives have been thus ruthlessly cut off God only knows The general order is to “shoot and not report ” 1 learn, from a person who has a right to know that over one hundred persons have already been sacrificed and still the work goes on. Where these brutal murders are to eud no one can teli. In th? meantime government papers make no mention ot these atrocities, practiced upon pereots not in the ast degree compromised with the political af fairs of the country, nor with its internal strifes— most of whom have been of the laboring class of population. But notwithstanding the silence of official organs, 1 have been able to collect the names ot twenty-five persons who have been butchered in Tacubaya and its viemitv iu the pait week. As severalof these are foreigners and American citi zens. I will give you below the list as 1 have ob tained it. Physicians— John Duval (American), Albert l.vmeti (American), J. Portugal, G. Rivera, Man uel Sanchez and his brother, aud J. D. Covarru biae The latter was a young man of talent, who has already at bis early age contributed much to the literature of hi? country. Officials— Gen. M. Lacana. Col. J. YiJigan, Cos! J. M Artiaga and Lieut. J. Sierra . t. Peivati Citizens — M Mateae (lawyer) A Janr regui (lawyer). T. Rodriquez, G Eequivivc, M Chaves. S.

Keizer, (German, lock auntfcj.M Nervis, and two American boys by the name of Smith, cue fit'reeen aud the other thirteen years old i 14. Altogether 95. Several cf these citi/. as were dragged from their houses and were not allowed even the melancholy e&ti-iactioo of oommuLi.*atii.g w Ui any one before their death. As for Uiii ot ary kind that was not pretended. They were, in truth, slot like dogs a**..ids! the jeers of the drunken soldiery aud Uie curses of the priests, who were urging them on— Ibis may appear incredible, but I am assured that priest# were seen in their robes stimulating the sol- j giery to destroy all the maidttos (accursed)! The two American physicians had come to Tacu tay*. with the Faderahs.s, aud would have re tired griththem had it not been for the prayers ©1 £©m nr . men who reproached them for thinking of ieavii if poor creature 8 suffering while they could render tLeaz aid. It was eaid to them that the go vernment fuujde could not be such savages as to even molest medical men, especially when they were attending to their owu wounded. Young Co varrubiae wen: from j urely humane feelings to as sist in the hospital, and i believe not one of the doctors was there from any other than motives of the purest philanthropy. But, nevertheless, they were dragged from their suffering patieuts and har- j ri*d off with their aprons on to be murdered with other? equally as innocent as themselves. Since that bloody night persons have been assassinated by the bloodhounds of the clergy, in all parts of the valley. Every day bodie* are tumid, in out-of-the way places, showing that they have been the vic tim? ot the tunes in which we live, in the capital A>f Mexico The civil zed world is bound to ask, what was the action of foreign during ail this time 7 No repdy, I uay say.

Mr. Black, to ©■for his protest and prayer to the British Minister, in lht? name of “humanity aud justice , • and begged Mr. Otway to reuse the voice of hie great uatiou to st*p the massacres which were going on. This letter tk om venerable Consul is so good, and tells so much of these atrocities, that I give it to yen entire, and mw express th tope that the press, far and near, may g*ve it a place, in justice to Mr. Black, and m consideration of those who refused to follow up his suggestion.

Asa consular representative of a civilized and friendiy nation, I take the liberty ©f addressing you, in the name of humanity ar.d justice, as the diplomatic representative of a great and enlighten ed, a law and justice observing nation, and request that your Excellency may be pleased to address the Mexican authorities, end interpose your official remonstrance, in order that the lives of innocent pei sons may not be sacrificed . and that theee vio lent. atrocious, and inhuman executions, not only of foreigners, but ol Mexicans, without trial and the right of defence, may be prevented, as leaving an indelible etain. not only on those wbo commri them, but those wbo can look on with unconcern, and not to do all they can to restrain such wanton exercise of power, and thus subserve the cause of humanity and justice; a question in which the civilized world is deeply interested, and to wnich it cannot be indifferent It I have erred in thus addressing your Excellency, be it assured it is an error of toe Lead, and not one of ‘he heart ; as I am fully persuaded it is my bounden duty to cast my mite inro the scale o? humanity snd justice. I have the honor to be, wilh great respect your most obedient servant, (Signed; John Black. To his Excellency Loftus C. Otway, Esq.. C. H. E. E and Minister Plenipotentiary of her Britannic Majesty, Mexico. In reply to this creditable and proper nt.'e Mr. O'way is said to have replied that be could not officially interfere in behalf of Mexicans. As to poor Selby, be was forced not only by Mr. Black’s note but by tLe prayers of others to make some ex ertion a , and Selby wta saved. If he had exerted himself a little more others might also have been rescued from the unbridled fury of the religions as eaarin*. For bis neglect on this melancholy occa sion he is certain to meet with the just rebuke net only of Americans but Lis own countrymen. Every Englishman in Mexico, Mr. Otway excepted, felt as Mr Black did when he addressed that note. In this connection it may be well to say that the names of the generals who bold their swords ofter ror over Mexico now are Marquez, Mejia and Mira mon. They have ordered, and CoL Dazay ArguiUlas was the first man to volunteer his services to be executioner. For the future historian these names must furni-h material for comment. The friends of Duval and Lamon must not forget them, nor should any one who has the true sensibilities of a human bfiing. They must rank side by side with that of Nena Sahib. The loss of the Government party daring the siege, and until the Federalists retreated from the valley, ban been serious. In opposing an attack made upon the ban Coeme by the the Central Government party lost about 250. In the actions of the lOth and J Ith, at Tacubaya, the lose ot the Centra lets could not have- been less than 800; many estimate it at over IWOO. The Federal lose entire in the valley has been much lees than that of the Centralize. I dare eay 500 would be a large estimate. The cause of the great difference in the losses is to be lound in the superiority of the riflemen over any service of the Central party. Many houses in Tacubaya have been horribly disfigured by the shot, but I nave not learned of the loss of the lives of any private citizens. The family ot Mr. L. 8 Hargous narrowly escaped destruction. An eighteen shell came into the diningroom of their house, exploded, broke down the door of an ad joining bed room, and demolished almost every thing in the two rooms. A moment before this oc currence the whole family had been in the I ed room. Mrs. Hargous had just left the room with the chil dren, and Mr. H. was in the act of passing into another room when a bit of the shell boot he had in his hand, and carried it about twemy feet ahead of him. The escape was a providential one. Had the family delayed a minute longer in the bed room, the greater part of them must have been killed. Tnese are some of the beauties of civil wars amongst a race of people like these. The air ot Tacubaya still remains fetid with the putrefaction of human flesh ana blood—the harvest of the fury of the priests against the throes of the country for civilized progress. During the stay of the Federalists in Tacubaya not the slightest disorder was permitted. Every thing went on well. The rights of everybody were respected; but so soon as the Centralize entered the scene changed. Private houses without num ber were sacked by the dmuken soldiery, citizens were outraged and murdered, and those who have escaped the tempest of religious fury still shudder at the atrocities they have bee compelled to wit ness. On the 10th, the exequatur of our consul was withdrawn, and he is now packing up his traps pre paratory to leaving the country. The cause of this Withdrawal of Mr. Black’s exequatur, is the recog nition of Juarez by the United States. So soon as Mr. Black had considered bis position, and made his arrangements, he requested the British Minister to receive the American citizens :n Mexico under his protection, and the British Minister has declined to accept us until ho coneults his Government! — What can be the meaning of this? To positively refuse such a hospitality, at such a time, does not look i.t all friendly. Can it be possible that Mr. O.’s excuse of “ins tract ions preventing,” can have any truth in it ? Certainly it looks as if trouble w’as brewing about Mexico. Tee United States recog nize Juarez, and at the same time we find the following circular coming from the British Lega tion : Circular of ih® British Minister. British Legation, l Mexico, April 4, 1859. ] Sir—From a despatch which I received from the Earl of Malmesbury by last mail, it would appear that Her Majesty’s Government, wearied out by their fruitless exertions to obtain from the govern ment calling Usell the General Government of Mex ico, a settlement of the outstanding claims of Bri tish subjects, and unable to bring to bear upon that government the influence of the British naval force now off Vera Cruz, have determined on holding the government iudifl'ereutly responsible for the obser vance of all international obligations, as far ns En gland is concerned. It is, therefore, the intention of Her Majesty's Government to take advantage of ti e presence of the fleet in the Gulf, and to hold Vera Cruz, by whatever party it is occupied, to be as it were the treasury of Mexico, and enforce there as far as possible payment of all outstanding claims of British subjects in Mexico. I am consequently instructed to prepare a list of these claims, and, after having satisfied myself that they are of a character to be justly supported on piinciule and not exaggerated iu amount. lam to turnun a oopy thereof to the Senior Naval Officer on the coast, and request that measures may at once be taken to secure such an amount of money at Vera Cruz hb will satisfy the just demands of British subjects. With regard to such claims as have been for some time in liquidation, but in respect to which Urge arrears have accumulated, Her Majesty’s Government will he satisfied if these arrears are paid up, an.i sufficient security afforded that the future pay nents shall be duly made at the appoint ted times It is of course understood that no claims can be included io this list but such as have already been brought betore the Legation. Such being the case, will you have the kindness, at your earliest convenience, and in the manner which you nmy consider most expeditious and ex pedient, to draw mo up a clear and distinct state ment of all those claims which you consider ought, injustice and equity to be protected and maintain ed by Her Majesty's Government, aucTso enable me to communicate on the subject with the officer commanding the British naval force in the Gulf, and so carry out the instructions I have received from Her Majesty s Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affair.**. I have the honor to be, &c., &c., &0., (Signed.] L. C. Otway. Frederick Glennie, E.-q. It tbe Earl of Malmesbury really intends to bully the Federal Government tor the only and special benefit of the Central party, the United Stale will be forced to take their hands out of their pockets and decide the fate of parties in Mexico by blows. But I cannot believe that the British Government is so stupid as to be compromised to detend a Gov eminent so depraved, so corrupt, so pernicious and disgusting to the intelligence of the age as that which now holds the national balance in Mexico. On the strength of this circular to the British Consul, the French Minister and hie satellites have set forth on the streets endless lies, such as we may hourly expected to hear, that Vera Cruz is taken by the English and French, aud all that sort of stuff and nonsense. In the meantime, we are again threatened with siege. Night before last, Traconis, Ampudia and A!a:riste made their eutry into the valleys with forces. What strength they have, I cannot say.— They are now at Arriola at the feet of the volca noes. Degoll&dos has goue to Morelia, but a Urge part of his forces are only about twenty leagues from this, and it ia not improbable they may return and give us another trial. The country is going to the bad in all directions. Every day new signs of demoralization and de compos*iiion show themselves. The army now iu this capital are clamoring for money, and two days ago the President was actually considering if he would not do well to declare the wealth of the church national property ! 1 believe this alterna tive wi.l be staved off yet a while longer, as the clergy have managed to raise money for immediate wants. The Government, it is said, will banish a number of foreigners A long list has been made out. but as yet no passports Lave been given. Mr. Black, our Consul, will leave us in the coming w eek for Washington. The Ceutral Government of this oaptl&l has made a long protest against the recognition of Juarez, which I enclose t a o you. San Luis Poto-i is now occupied by the Federal ists, as also Max all an, so that the only port of the Centralists is San Bias, which makes one custom house out of the twenty-four- A nice general gov ernment, this is, to be sure! Gustave Barron, Esq., one of the oldest and most wealthy foreign merchants of Mexico, died on the morning of the lltk. Mr. Barron was a British subject. He came to Mexico soon after the inde pendence. aud commenced business at M&zatlan.— His wealth grew with his years, and as he became inure ana more wealthy he continually increased his enterprising labors. The town of Topic owes all its present greatness to him. Soou after the discovery of the New Aluiadeu quicksilver mine in California, Mr. Barron became the patron of the discoverer. He gave him large sums of money, and finally became the largest shareholder iu the tuioe. The result of this venture is now known to the world. It has been the Golconda of the age. aud ha# enriched all parties interested in i’. Mr. Barron may with justice have been called one of the most enterprising and public spirited men in Mexico. He was noble ana generous, a good friend and a determined enemy. Asa private person he has played a conspicuous part in Mexico, perhaps more than any other pers n. His Ices at this time may be considered a great one tor he was one ot the most clear headed men. and his advice always was courted by the temporary governments aud foreign ministers. l>r John Duval vas assassinated in Tac übaya by the Clergy party, April 11, 1859. This gentleman, as he was walking out to be phot, fu-ked cue of his comrades, also sentenced to be shot but who has escaped, to wri:e to his friends and let them know his fate. Dr. Duval is supposed to have come with the Federalists from the Texas frontier, and has a family in the United States or England. He is understood to have been &n Ame rican citizen, but the circumstance of his having asktd to see tee British Minister before being shot ;ead? to tne supposition that he was an Englishman by birth. All who met him in Tacnbaya speak of him as a large sized man ; very gentlemanly in his manners and ekquent iu his language. A? this may be the only means of communicating the sad tidings to his bereaved family and friends, newspapers in the United States and England are requested to copy. B. B. In conclusion, the Picayune says:—“We only add, a# the very latest, that just as the Tennessee was leaving port, an express came in from the capi tal with news to the 19th, confirming everything stated below. This express also trough intelligence that Ampudia, Traoonis and Alatnste {the same vigilant generals who were to prevent Miramen’e passage over the mountains) were following him up, and when the courier passed them were within twelve leagues of the capital. They are said to have 6,000 men. “We are informed by gentieman direct from \ era Cruz that the Juarez Government do not despair under their recent reverses at the capital, but ©on tiuue still to keep up good courage.

Thi Congress. —The Vienna correspondent of the London Times telegraphs as follows : “Vienna, Thursday Evening. April 14.—Austria has positively refused to become a party to the Congree* unless ilia preceded by a general eimulia neocs disarmament. The foregoing is perfectly au thentic.” Paris despatches state that negotiations for the Congress were going on, but the their progress was slow on account of the great difficulties to be over come. The Dresden Journal alleges its acquaintance with ti e fact that, according to a recent counter proposal by France, which i3 also said to be second ed in other quarters, the Congress would assemble on the 23d April, at Carlsrhue, and would commence operations by resolving on a general disarming. The Paris Paye persists in stating that the Con gress would assemble before the 30th April. The London Daily News saya it is just possible that C -ngres may prepare and embitter ins lead cf avert a war. The London Tima says:—“ We are most happy to correct an error into which we had un mention ally fallen, in our remarks of yesterday,'upon the present elate of our policy. We stated that the British Government had required the disarmament of Sardinia, a- a condition oreparatory to the as sembling of the Congress. We are informed upon authority, from which there is no appeal, that this is not so. This was the Austrian, not the English preposition. Lord Malmesbury asked for an equality of time and circumstances ,or all the pow ers concerned in the present question of disarma ment, and it te probably on this suggestion that Austria now demands that all the powers should disarm before the business of the Congress com mences. ’ The Paris correspondent of the London Herald , in his latest letter, says there were reasons for be lieving that the proposals made by Austria as to the various points to be submitted to the Congress, are wholly unacceptable by the Cabinet of the Tui leries. The Paris Patrie, in reference to the proposed general disarmament persists in repeating that this measure cannot apply to France. France cannot be expected to diminish army by a single man, nor to send back a single cannon to her ar senals. Great Britain*.—Parliamentary proceedings on the J3th were wholly unimportant. On the 14ih, Lord Malmesbury in the Upper House, and Mr. Disraeli in the Commons, an nounced that the Ministerial statement in regard to tne affa-rs of Europe which had been promised lor the 15tb, would be postponed until Monday, the 18th. In the House of Lords the Earl of Dsrby moved a vote ol thanks of Lord Canning, Lord Clyde, Lord Eipbinaton, Sir J. Lawrence, Sir J. Outram, and other civil and military officers in India, and also to the non commiesioned officers and private soldiers, both European and Native, for their ser vices iu suppressing the recent Indian inunity. In the course of some very eulogistic remarks, Lord Derby said that Lord Canning, was to receive the dignity of an Earldom and Lord Elphinstone that of a Peer of the United Kingdom, as an addtional acknowledgment of their eminent services. Earl Granville seconded the motion, and after some complimentary remarks from other Peers, the vote of thanks was unanimously agreed to. In the House of Commons, Lord Stanley made a similar motion, and after speeches by Lords Pal merston, John Russell, Sir De Lacy Evans and oth ers, all of whom cordially agreed with the flattering terms of the resolutions, the vote was carried uuani mously. On the 15th in the House of Lords, the subject of the Red Sea and Indian Telegraph was debated, and seme objection was raised against the contract entered into by Government with the Company. The further progrees of the bill was suspended for the present. In the House of Commons Lord Stanley said in reply to enquiries that it was not intended at pre sent to dispatch any corps of artillery to India ; and that the duty ou hardware in India was to be increased from sto 10 per cent, such duty to apply equally foreign and British manufacture.

If she thought lit she could crush the Sardinian army at a blow*, fall back, within her frontier, and then confidently await the French. If it is true that Austria has yielded to the pressure of the mediat ing powers, it is evident the pretext for war ought to be diminished.

Great Salt Lake City, March 26,1859. Things are in a very unsettled condition here at present, and, in fact, great excitementjexista, and you need not be euprieed at any time to hear of a collision. The Mormons were much excited a few days since by a rumor that the sth infantry were coming into the city, and they went to work bur nishing up their old rusty tirelccks with the most nervous energy There was no truth iu the rumor at all. Should it be necessary, however, lor the sth or any other regiment to enter the wall* of this city, they are going to accomplish it sure. Judge Craalebaugh is holding his court at Provo, and the feeling that 13 so manifest in this city and throughout the Territory is predicated upon a de termination upon his part to ferret out and bring to punishment perpetrators ot the many high-handed outrages; and murders ‘hat have been committed heretefore in this valley. Several Mormons have peached , and it became neceeaary to take them to cimp for protection, to keep them from being put out of the way, or, ia other words, having a sht in their throafo ; and it is supposed that their testimo ny will implicate high in authority in the Church; hence the excitement. Judge Cradle- Laugh has declared that he will bring these matters to light if possible, and at all hazaids. The Grand Jury have failed to find any bills of indictment ex cept in the case of two poor Indians, and last week relu ed to obey the orders of the J adge, when he discharged the whole posse, after reprimanding them in the severest terms For the protection of witnesses particularly a company of dragoons, un der the command or Capt. Heath, are camped along-side of the house where the court is held. Another rtquisirion has since been made, and nine companies of infrantry, one of dragoons, and two sections of battery have been planted at the mouth of Provo cannon, about tix miles from the town of Provo. So you may judge of the state of thmgs here by this hurried sketch of incidents. The United States Marshal arrived here yester terday with warrants for the arrest of two men.— They arc important witnesses in the Parish mur der, and Implicated in it, and are supposed to be important witnesses in the “Mountain Meadow” rnafpacre, where one hundred and twenty-nine men, women, and children “went under ’ in 185 b. Two of these men arrived here day before yester day and wo tto the house of Secretary Hartnett for protection, where they have been ever since locked up and under guard. They fear that their lives are ia danger. The United States Marshal had wen ants for them, aud they will leave to-day in his charge. Should a rescue be attempted there will be a “muss” certain, as they eay they will turn State’s evidence. Great Salt Lake City, April 2, 1859. There ia a great excitement existing iu tnis Terri tory, ai.d things are in a woi.se condition even than they ever have been before or alter the advent of the army. Ia plain words, and to give you some idea of v flair.i here, the feeling has reached the t ul min at ing joiut, and we are on the eve of open las tilities. This has been brought about by the firm and manly stand of the two Judges of the U. States District Court, Sinclair aud Uradlebaugh, who, in tceir endeavors to ferret our the numerous mur ders that have been committed, have excited the apprehensions of the Mormons, wbo have done all in their power to prevent it. The reason for this is obvious; a full investigation might implicate some of the leading men in the chnrch, or, at all events, show that these dreadful outrages were committed by the authority of the Church. Morman Grand Juries have failed to present indictments for these bloody deeds, although their attention was special ly called to them by the Judge?, and even when they did find a bill lor an offence of an inferior grade, Mormon juries would acquit. The great Theatre of strife, and which has ra diated throughout the whole Territory, is at Provo, about forty miles distant from this city, where Judge Uradlebaugh is trying to hold Court; I say trying, for although he has been sitting new nearly a month, nothing has been done. The Bishops or the Church and many of the people have lied, their consciences probab'y suggesting the propriety of such a course. Judge Cardlebaugh, seeing the manifestations when he opened his court, made a requisition upon Geu. Johnston for a company of troops to guard prisoners and protect the lives of witnesses, which had been threatened. To this re quisition Gen. Johnston promptly responded, and they have been there ever since This sateguard to the court, witnesses aud prisoners has aroused the indignation of ail Mormondom, and they talk “ big.” An appeal wa.*, made to Governor Cum miug, under the impression that he could have them removed ; aud forthwith a solemn protest is issued, protesting against the pre3cmce of the troops. The Governor had been down to Provo a few days since, enJiwhile there wrote a letter to Gen. John ston, requesting him to withdraw them or remove them to a greater distance from the city. General Johnston declined to interfere in the matter, aud stated that the troops were there under a requisi tion from Judge Cradlebaugh, and w re subject to his orders. ‘liiis was a “ stunner.” As the excite ment increased, and threats of the militia and peo ple rLing to expel the troops, Gen. Johnston sent up nine additional companies on his own hook, iu case of an outbreak, to protect the company which was there by order of the court, and they camped six miles distant. Within the last few days, however, thiuga have assumed such an attitude that it was deemed prudent to remove them three miles nearer. Should there be a collision look our for “ tall timber.” The Nauvoo Legion here are, I un derstand, preparing themselves for any emergency; or rather, should an emergency occur, preparing themselves to be “ wiped out.” The next item of interest is that there is not only a difference between Geu. Johnston aud Gov. Gum ming in ielation to their respective powers, but there is an open division and rupture between the civil officers, between the Executive and the Ju diciary. Tine is the state of affairs at present, and you may well imagine it is not very agreeable.— Judge Cradlebaugh is now sitting merely as a com mitting magiotrate, and will next week go to the camp, where he will continue his investigations. It is to be hoped that his labors may be crowned at least with some degree of success. Enclosed is a proof slip from the Valley Tan, iu advance of its publication, to which I call your at tention. proclamation against gen. Johnston. Whereas, One Company of the United States In fantry, undev the command of Captain Heth, is now stationed around the court house of Provo, where tbe Hon. John Cradlebaugh is now holding court, and eight additional companies ot infantry, one of artillery, and ona ot cavalry, under the com mand of Major Paul, are stationed in sight of tho court house; aud, Whereas, The presence of soldiers has a tendency not only to terrify tho inhabitants and disturb the peace of the territory, but also to subvert the ends of justice by causing the intimidation of witnesses and jurors; and, Whereas, This movement of troops has been made without consultation with me, and, as I be lieve, is in opposition to both the letter and spirit of my instructions ; and, Whereas, General Johnston, commander of the military dspartment of Utah, has refused my re quest that he would issue the necessary orders for the removal cf the above mentioned troops ; Now therefore, I, Alfred Cumming, Governor of the territory of Utah, do hereby publish this my solemn protest against this present military move ment, and also agaiLst all movements of troops in compatible with the letter and spirit of the annex ed extract from the instructions received by me from government for my guidance while Governor of the territory of Utah.

By the Governor: John Hartnett, Secretary of State. the judge denouncing the governor. At a session of the United States Court held on the 30th of March, Judge Cradlebaugh severely denounced Governor Camming’* proclamation. He said: “I have received a document from Alfred Cam ming, Goverrorof this Territory, which in its read ing, purports to be a proclamation, while in the body of ti e document it would seem to be a kind of protest. Instead ot being addressed to the Gene ral commanding the department of Utah, it 6eeme to be intended for the public at large. Taking the whole thing together, it serins to be designed to ex asperate the people of this Territory against the troop*, to obstruct the course of public justice, and to excite insubordination in the army. “In this document, Gov. Cumming speaks of a company of United Slates infantry being stationed around the court-house, iu which I am now bolding a term of the District Court, and also of several additional companies of infantry, one of artillery, aud one of cavalry being stationed in eight ot the court-house. He also says that the presence of these soldiers has a teudeney not only to terrify the in habitants and disturb the peace of the Territory, but also to subvert the ends of justice by causing the intimidation ol witnesses anu jurors, lie says that this movement of troops has been made with out consultatiou with him and against the letter and spirit of his instrnotions. “In regard to his statement that troops are sta tioned ‘around the oourt irouse at Provo’ I have only to say that tho assertion is not true. They are sta ioned near the court-house, and entirely on one side of it. The addition; l troops referred to as being ‘stationed within sight of the court-house’ are at lea*t four miles dl.-t mt. This assertion must have been designed to create a false impression as to the relative situation of tbe court-house and tbe troope. ’ ‘‘ln regard to the inhabitants being terrified by tbe presence of troops, it is proper to say that many of them are very much annoyed by their being here at this time, but those who seem to be stricken with terror have fled the country on account of crimes committed by them, and the tear of just punish ment for their offences. Among them are to be found several of tbeywrors, president of ‘stakes,’ bishops, and also civil officers o! the Territory. It is pernaps, proper to say that the Grand Jury was selected by the County Ciurt. under a recent act cf the Legislature of this Territory, which was signed aud approved by Gov. Cumming, aud that several notorious criminals were members of it.— That none of those who are conscious of guilt are under the influence of fear is manifested by the fact that ataiitimes. when the court is in -ession tbe court-room is crowded by hundreds of citizens. “The assertion that witnesses and jurors are or have been intimidated by tbe small military detach ments near the court house is without foundation ; while the fact is. that witnesses have been threat ened and intimidatea by the very inhabitants who are said to be so much terrified To such an extent has this been carried that witnesses who appear and testify in bebaif of the prosecution are compelled to seek safety under the protection of the troope that are here, many of them having signed a petition re questing that the troops ehali bo: be removed and representing that their seem ity and safety depend ed upon their present a. “in r-gard to the statement that the troope are here without consultation with his Exee ieney, the court has yet to learn that it i* subservient to and cannot act except under Executive dictation Provo. March 31,1859. Kirk Anderson, Esq — Sir . The isst Deeeret News ststes that the Grand Jury discharged by me at the present term ol the District Court at the city of Provo pretested unanimously against their dis charge and the language used to them. This is an unqualified falsehood. No such protest was ever presented to the court or came to my knowledge until 1 read it in that paper. The grand jury dis persed very seen after they were discharged. Sev eral of them had been eirgaged in the commission of the very crimes they were investigating, and left precipitately, fearing that they would be arrested for the murders they had qommitted. If the church authorities have since been able to find some baif dozen of them and procure their sanction to any such protest, it certainly is more t:.an the marshal of tbe Territory, with several vigilant deputies, havirg warrants for them, have been able to do.— They have fled the country. Very respectfully, John Cradlibacoh. From an Officer of the Army. Camp Floyd. March 24 —There ia just now a little excitement amoegst the Mormons, and the other day there was a little prospect of some active and useful service by the troops here. To prevent the effect of misrepresentation and erroneous.-tatements which will probably be made trom here, I give you the real facta of the case. They are briefly these : Judge Cradlebaugh, United States Justice for the third district, has lately convened his court at Provo, about forty miles east of here, and knowing there were no jails, nor any provision made for prisoners or witnesses before United States Conns in this Territory, and having here in custody seve ral criminals lor trial, he made a requisition for troops as a guard to go with him to Provo. Besides this, the Judge was determined to make the attempt, at leact, to bring up for trial before him some of the murderets of the Parish family, as well as those en gaged in the wholesale massacre of the Arkansas emi grant at the Mountain Meadows, which involved some of the superior church officers. Accordingly, a company ot the 10th infantry was detailed and detached on the service. The Court met, the Grand Jury was charged by the Judge, and some arrests mane by the Marshal, including the Bishop or Mayor of Provo. Preparations for a rescue were made amoDgst the citizens, and a messenger was dispatched by them, both to Brigham Young and Gov. Gumming to come cfown. Mean time the officer in command of the company reported the state of affairs, and even threats made by the populace, aud immediately the General dispatched eight companies with a few dragoons, and a section of the ligct battery, to take post at or near Battle Creek, about twelve nr.ies this side of Provo, to be in readness to act according to circumstances, ia protecting the Court, and securing the prisoners in the event of an attempt to rescue. Without this movement of the troops the Judge would not possibly have htld his court with any prospect of success, and under the reai state of the facts it is marvellously strange aud uonaccountable that Gov. Gumming, instead of giving his official sanction aud aid in this second attempt to establish the supremacy oi the laws, should, on the contrary, apparently be disposed to throw obstacles in the way, and to coincide with the Mormon views. I fee! certain that nothing like justice can be admin istered here. Judge Cradlebaugh is a bold, honest and fearless judge, determined to do his duty, and, ass’sted by the strong power of his Government, he will cer tainty make an attempt at least to administer jus tice, even though the Governor protests, and Brig ham Young uses all hie cunning craft to prevent it. He has already arrested with bench warrants two or three of The murderers, instruments in the hards of the church officials,by whose authority the atroci ous murder and robbery of: he Parish family was per* pe rated, and h on the track of ‘be others, including some high functK nariet, promoted to official station for their crimes’ Tbeai lords of prey, as well as Brigham himself, are now liu'teriug in fear aud dread ot exposure, aud several of Them have al ready tied to the mountains. If a fair jury can be had. and a conviction of murder ensues, there is little doubt but that facts enough will be elicited to cause t®e arrest of Brigham himself aud all the “Holy Twelve” besides. From the N. O. Picayune of Monday Evening. Enter from Arizona. Treaty with the Apache Indians.—The Arit zonian, a paper printed at Tubac, in Arizona, a hand this morning wi'.h advices from that Territo ry to the 31 et ult-, brings us a most intersting ac count of a treaty recently concluded between Capt. Ewell, of Fort Buchanan, on the part of the United States, and the Pinal and Tonto tribes of the Apa che Indians, who have long given so much trouble on the Dorder. This interesting ceremony took place at v. hat is known as Canon Del Oro, so call ed from rich gold washings near by. It is about forty mi.es northeast of Tucson, ar.d is described as a wild, romantic place, hemmed iu by moun tains, with a clear stream fringed by green cotton woods, winding through a long, narrow strip of bottom land, which is overhung ou one eide by steep bluffs, while on the other stands a range of lofty aud picturesque mountains, beyond which lies the Gila. In this romantic spot Capt. E. encsniped on the morniDg of the 2d, not a solitary Indian iu view, and save a few narrow trails, winding along the valley, no sign to show that human beings ever visited the place. Indeed, the sly Indian hesitated long before coming up to his engagement. Os all the Apaches, these tribes are considered the most eraf.y and treacherous, and distrusting others, doubtless, as much as they felt audjsnew themselves unworthy of being trusted, they held off and ou tor m&ny a day. Finally, on the 221, they mustered iu strong force, with an extensive camp at the extremity of the cannon, aud having the night previous aston ished their digestive organs with a liberal supply of good beef, presented by Capt. Ewell, t hey mani fested more confidence and visited our camp in large parties. As to their total number present, it was ascertained by actual count, that there weie two hundred and eighty-eight Pinals fit to bear arms, and twenty-five Tonto Apaches, making over three hundred warriors, with about six hundred women, children and old men. Taking into account the stealing parties absent to Sonora, aud those at home, in the Pinal country proper, the tribe un doubtedly numbers one thousand souls, with at least three hundred and fifty warriors. The Pinals are rather inferior in stature, not muscular t ut very active and wiry. Their arms, bows and lances, were of the best sort, ail their arrows being tipped with formidable heads of flint. They had a large supply of animals, horses and mules—some of the latter very line—with un abun dance of saddles and bridles, all supplied by their tenants, and tax payers in Sonora! They were too cunning to bring in any stock which had been stolen iroin .Americans, being well aware that if they did so they would be obliged to restore it. Os clothing, they wore as iittle as posiible, compatible with savage notions of decency, which are known to be rather primitive, more especially when the poor creatures are in ihe condition of Miss Flora McFiimay, and have “nothing to wear.” Altoge ther, they were a dangerous, thievish, wolfis-hlook iug set as wo ever happened to meet—of the coyote type iuall their actions and characteristics, as near as it is possible for savage humanity to resemble a wild beasl. At laet “the treaty” was made—the ceremony muH have been a curious one, and the signatures, but they are not described. We are only toid that the Pinals “agreed” not to molest Americans in their persons or property any more, and the Cap tain on the part of the United States promised to “distribute goods aud provisions among them.”— How long this arrangement will last, eays the Ari zonian, ,no one can tell. That paper, however, seems to look upon it as a great “farce.” It has no confidence in these “cheap treaties, especially wi'h Indiana ro treacherous as the Pinals.” Neverthe less, it admits that hunger has driven them to many of their depredations, and thinks that, if Govern merit faithfully performs its part of the treaty, the Indians may be le&s prompted in the future to steal. It adds that, as the Government has taken posses sion of their hunting grounds the savage has an in herent right also to relief. Later —The Arizonian adds in a postscript that on the 27th, three days alter (he treaty w*ae conclu ded, a party of ten Pin'd Apaches suddenly ap peared at Tomocacari Mission, and attempted to run off a pasture of horses and mules. They suc ceeded in stampeding the animals, but unfortunate ly for the Indians, they took the direction of the mission. It was not know n whether these lu dians wore of the treaty making party, or not, or even if they had heard of that “farce.” The Arizo nian is inclined to believe that they were just re turning from Sonora, and could not resist so tempt ing an opportunity to make a “grab.” Georgia being Redeemed. We hope the readers of this caption will not sup pose that wa are about going off into a homily, af ter the manner of the Fire-eaters, on “Federal ag gressions,” and “the mode of measure of redress.” It ha3 nothing to do with politics, or that redemp tion, regeneration and dieentlrrallment that soma people promise themselves from a fight with the Gen oral Government. We simply wish to say a word upon the red hills and sedge fields of Georgia, and to show our readers how the people are going to work to abolish them and make the waste places blossom as the rose. In other words, our topic is Manure, and, homely as the subject may be, it is worth more for the substantial regeneration aud glorification of our State than ail the political wran glers this side of “kingdom come.” It is a well ascertained fact that the older por tions of Georgia—or rather those which have been Battled longest, for all, we presume, are of equal age—are more thrifty and productive to-day than they were twenty years ago. How has this been brought about ? By the manufacture and applica tion of manures, made on the farm for the most part, and more recently, drawn from the channels of commerce. This latter source of supply has been opened to the planter chiefly through the liberal and enlightened policy of our railroads; and to show what an impetus it has given to the trade, we propose to cite a single ease in point. A few months ago, the authorities of the Central Railroad advertised to carry guano, salt, and other commodities to be used as fertilisers, at a price just sufficient to defray tbe expense of transporta tion and save the Company harmless.

A Picture of the Mississippi Flood. —The Memphis Appeal has the following in regard to the flood in the Mississippi: ‘ The sights that uaet our eyes at interva s were of the most painful description. Plantations and vil lages were everywhere overflowed, and wet and mould, the effects of the overflow, were in and about ali the bouse*. The houses themselves were either in or over the water; the tenants prisoners within, the skiff or dugout being the only ‘vehicle’ for going abroad. Houses less elevated were de serted, and the universal flood was carrying desola tion, decay, and, too probably, disease nto every apartment. In many instances fla,boats were moored beside such habitations, two-thirds o. which were occupied by horses, hogs, cows and chickens, a portion of the remainder was roofed over, and there lived the negroes, and there the feed and pro visions brought down by passing boats was pre served. Every boat is hailed with earnest anxiety for news of the state of the river above. Many of the citizens sh ->w signs of g rea - depres sion They bore up bravely against tbe calamitous flood of last summer, but a second infliction r t the same kind, following so closely cn the heeis of tne first, has proved too much for their courage, and heartrending complaints are made of aimcuity ana privation.

Having visited these Springs and witnessed some of the wonderful cares which the use of their water accomplishes, we speak ad visedly in commending them to persms afflicted with the diseases named, and feel ooniident tew pa tients who visit them will fail to be entirely cured or very materially benefitted. The Springs are near Florence, Alabama, which is accessible by railroad from Tnscumbia—thsace in fins stages over a good road nine miles to the Springs. Summer Resort in Florida.—Our readers are referred to the advertisement headed “White Sul phur Springs,” in another column. We are assured that the waters of these Springs contain rare rnedi ci l properties: that the location is pleasant and healthful, and that the Hotel, recently refitted and furnished, has ample accommodations far guests.

No one familiar with the character of the Charles ton Mercury, will question its skill as 8 Democratic artist, or its ability, from long association, to draw a most gaphic and life-like picture of that corrupt mass ot spoilsmen, who call themselves the ‘‘Na tional Democracy.’ ’ And as the productions of the Mercury's pen and pencil will doubtless prove equally interesting and entertaining to Southern Democrats, we subjoin a late sketch. The Mercury says: “We have seen nothing in National Democracy of late years which challenges our admiration, to say nothing of our allegiance. It has trifled with Constitutional Provisions, disregarded Constitu tional Restrictions, and set at nought, positive Con stitutional lijuncrious It has aided in the passage of uniust anti unequal laws, ,t has tquaudeved the Public Money, robbed the common treasury, and to Foreign paupers it baa given the Public Lands. Its premises have been broken, its pledges disre garded, and its professions falsified. To conclude the whole matter National democracy is Corrupt, Vacillating, and False ; it wears the garb of Sancti ty, that its hideous deform'ties may be concealed ; it Woos but to ruin, and wins but to destroy.” Every intelligent and candid man, will admit the faithfulness and life-like character of the Mercury's picture, which is very fully sustained in the follow ing sketch from the pen of an Alabama artist, F. B. Shepard, who is en independent Democratic candidate for Congress in the Mobile district, who defines his own position thus : “I am opposed to all the leading measures of the Administration, and to the Administration itself, on account of its imbe cility, its corruption,and anti-Southern tendencies; Eor wou’d l accept the nomination of the Conven tion, national in its instincts, should every gentle man composing that body give me bis vote.” An Honest Confession, The Macon Press, an acknowledged organ of Ibe Democracy, relieves its conscience by the fol lowing frank and honest confession, in reference to the Kansas swindle and Oregon bill: “ The passage of the Fugitive Slave Law was a humbug and an outrage on Southern slaveholders ; the Kansas bill was not much better, while the Oregon bill is nothing to boast of.” The Southern met;, who were the willing dupes of the political intriguers and demagogues, who contributed to swindle the South by the Kansas bill, will doubtless be interested by this confession, however little their intelligence may be battered or complimented. We hope they will appreciate and enjoy it fully. Ilarmoiilziog tile Democracy. In an article on the probability of harmonizing the Democracy, in the Convention at Charleston, the New York Herald, high Democratic authority! indulges in the following speculations, and ventures a suggestion. The Herald says: ‘‘lf the Charleston Convention shall fail to adopt the squatter sovereignty platform of Mr. Douglas, bis Northern followers will repeat the game of Van Buren of 1848; but if the Convention shall fail to proclaim the doctrine that it is the duty of Congress to protect slavery in the Territories, then the South - ern fire-eaters will cast the Charleston Presidential ticket and the party headlong inti the gulf of perdi tion. “Thus the Democratic party at Charleston will be driven into that narrow pass between Scylia and Chary biis; bat still it may be saved. All these quarrels in the camp upon principles, nice abstrac tions, State lights and what not, may be traced to personal rivalries for the spoils, or to personal dis appointments concerning the spoils And the only policy whereby the Charleston Convention can save Ihe party is the soothing policy of the spoils. In this view the compromises of 1852 at Baltimore, will be found eminently advisable nt Charleston, in cluding—l. A general amnesty to all sectional and factious offenders, and Iheir recognition in the Con vention upon a footing of equality. 2. The drop ping of all the contesting candidates f r the Presi dential office, and a nomination that will be a sur prise to the man himself—and the selection of a man whose comparative political obscurity will afford th; highest requisite of availability. “ Lastly, with regard to the platform, a few ‘glit tering generalities,’ admissible of several interpre tations, according to tbe old successful tactics of the party, will do—the great over-shadowing, para mount bond of cohesion, discipline and harmony, being the good old bond of the spoils. Upon this plan of operations the broken fragments of the party may be le-united in 1860, as they were re united in 1852; and Hinkmau of Pennsylvania, and Brown of Uiesisßippi, Wise and Hunter, Davis and Douglas, Cobb and Stephens, Slidel and Soule, and George W. Bowman and John W. Forney, and all the cliques and factions concerned, maybe re harmonized as a band of brothers.” The concluding paragraphs afford abundant evi dence, that the Herald, thoroughly understands the material and instincts of the party. That if they can only scent the spoils in the distance, Freeeoilers Fire-eaters, Abolitionists, old-line renegade Whigs, who have sold themselves and their principles Squatter Sovereignty men, and Northern and Southern Democrats of every possible rhade, with scarcely an exception, will harmonize most cordial ly.

Anecdote of Bishop Capers.— A correspondent sends to the Abbeville Press the following anecdote of Bishop Capers, “illustrating as well his aenteneee of observation, as his genial temper and sympathy with tbe young” : Mr. Editor : —Many of your readers know that together with the most eminent piety Bishop Capers united a disposition genial and sometimes even al most jovial, especially when in conversation with the youthful. Several years ago, I having done the guilty act described below. Bishop C, turning around to an aged friend laughingly said, “I have never seen the young man who after meeting a young lady did not immediately take a look at him self ia a mirror if practicable.” Mr. Editor, if you notice, 1 think your observation will confirm tbe truth of the remark. M. Odd Fellows’ Celebration. The Fortieth Anniversary of the Introduction of Odd Fellowship into the United States, was celebrated in this city Tuesday, 26th inst., with beoomingceremonies. The day wae pleasant, the dost not so excessive as to be annoying, and every thing passed off harmoniously and happily. At a little after 10 o’clock, the procession formed in front of Masonic Hall, under the direction of Marshal John D. Butt, assisted by Foster Blodget, Jr., C. A. Platt and James Dye Members from abroad were assigned appropriate places in the line. There were ab'Ut thirty visil rs fom neighboring Lodges; from the United B o thers, No. 5, and Franklin Lodge No 2, of Mac n there ware seme twenty-five delegates; the re mainder were irom Savannah Lodges. Headed by the Augusta Brass Band, the procession moved through the principal streets, nearly in the order advertised. On reaching Concert Hall, the ~„e opened, and the column marched in in reverse order. The parquette and stage were soon filled ; while the boxes, having been previously accessible were found already partially oconpied, exhibiting a good ly array of ladies. The following was the order of exercises: 1— Ode by the Choir. Air—’ “Auld Lang Syne.” 2 Prayer by Rev. Bro. T. H. Jordan. 9—Quartette, written by Hon. J. W. Wilde. 4 Address by Rev. Bro. C W. Kkt, G. P. M of the State of Georgia. 5 Music by the Choir— '‘Old Hundred.” 6 Benediction by Rev. Bro. J. S. Key. It is not our design to go into a detailed account of the several parts of this programme. We can only glance at the more prominent features. The singing by the Choir was excellent; aud especially was that grand old hymn, “Praise God from whom all blessings flow,” rendered with powerful effect. The address was plain and praotica!; divested al. most entirely of oraiorioal flashes, which are de signed more to tickle the popular ear thau to eluci date an idea or illustrate a principle; aud seemed to us to be a candid exposition of the rise and pro gress of the Order, set forth in a clear, forcible and impressive manner. It was no ordinary occasion, the speaker saidi that had called them together. It was to celebrate the fortieth anniversay of that day which inaugura ted the Order in the United States. The first or’ ganization of Odd Fellows was found in Baltimcre- The little seed, then and there planted, has reached full maturity—a tree, fair and beautiful to look upon, and teeming with fruit and foliage. Who can eeti, mate the benefits that have been conferred upon the raoe during the last forty years by Odd Fellow ship 7 How many tears have been wiped away, how many hearts cheered with hope 7 Our triumphs are bloodless—they are “uch as Christianity aud philanthropy will approve—the triumphs of hu manity. The speaker next glanced at the origin and ad vancement cf the order from the earliest times. He claimed for it high antiquity. The first known or ganization was among the Romans in the reign of Nero, in the year Go of the Christian era. The principles they espoused were so much at variance wilh those of tiiat dissolute age, that they were call” ed Odd Fellows. Subsequently the Order obtain ed a footing in Spain and Portugal, subject to ebbs and flows as circumstances ruled. lu the 12ih cen’ tury they became known and were organized in France, and afterwards societies were founded in London. Other Bodges now sprang up in various pai ls of England ; one in Manchester in 1800 ; and a schism having taken place in the general body the latter came to style themselves the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Front Ibis time forward, there was a steady increase; aud from the English Order came Thomas Wildest, who, in company with a few others, formed the first organization in the United States, at Baltimore, in the year 1818, which was called Washington Lodge, in honor of the Father of his country ; and from this little germ has sprung the large number of Lodges that are now scattered over our land. There are now 2,944 Lodges iu the Union; 193,000 members; and there has been dispensed iu charities to the afllioted o* the brotherhood, $1,209,000. The reverend gentleman then proceeded to speak ot the characteristics of the Order—lst, of its phil anthropy ; 2d, its social influence; 3<l, its moral in fluence ; 4th, its non political character; and oth, its religious aspects—claiming that its mission does not conflict with the church, &o. We have not time or space to loilow the speaker on all these points.— Suffice it to eay, that lie brought strong argumenta tive powers to bear upon the subject; and if there were those present who were not convinced of the truthfulness of what he said, they could acknowl edge the candor and ability wilh which he advanc ed his statements. The speaker closed with a particular address to his brother Odd Fellows, which was highly conceiv ed and well put. At the conclusion of the ceremonies at the Hall, the procession again formed, passing down Ellis to Jackson, through Jackson to Greene, down Greene to Houston, through Houston to Broad, and up Broad to the Hall, where the line was dismissed. In the evening a large number of Odd Fellows sat down to a sumptuous repast at Masonic Hall, but as our reporter was an “outsider,” of course he had not the honor of being present to take notes of the proceedings, which were doubtless of the highest interest to the participants. New Opera House at New Orleans.— Ground has been broken for the erection of anew Opera House in the crescent city. The building will be completed at an early day, aud a large proportion of the seats have been taken up by subscribers for the season. Consolatory, if True. —The London Times has lately given utterance to the following Buns beian “opinion as is an opinion” : —“lf we take an impartial survey of the Untied States and their Go vernment. we shall be induced to conclude that the advantages of that country are almost, if not en tirely, independent of its Administration.” Cotton to Mexico. —Nitwithstanding the dis tracted condition of Mexico, a considerable amount of cotton is annually shipped from Texas to that country. Last year one house sent from Bexar county fourteen hundred bales. Other towns have also sent a considerable amount, which has com manded from 19 to 22 cents per pound. A New Weekly by Charles Dickens. —J. M. Emerson & Co s, No. 37 Park Row, New York, an nounce that they have made arrangements with Mr. Dickens, by which his new publication, to be called “All the Year Round,” will be issued by them simnl. taueously with its appearance in England. Anew story by this celebrated author is to be commenced in the first number, and continued from week to week for about eigbtjmonths. This of itselt will be sufficient to insure the paper a great circulation in this country; but Mr. D. has also engsged the ser vices of the brilliant corp3 of writers, who, with himself, gave interest, to the pageß of “ Household Words.” This combination of talent, will make the new journal one of tbs best of which Europe or America can boast. Terms, one copy one year, $2,50; two copies, $5.00; eleven copies, .$20.00, Address as above. A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune say3 that the great billiard match at Detroit was a “reg ular sell,” got up by the principals to cheat out siders—that there was no stake between the play ers and that the whole thing was an advertising dodge for Phelan's especial benefit, he being a vender of bil iard tables ia New York. His con federates made their profits ia the “ side bets ;’ the result having been agreed on ia advance. If this be true, and it is highly probable, Bonner will have to look to hiß laurels in the advertising liue. Death of the President b Niece.— Miss Fan ny J. Yates died at Dr. Seely’s Water Cure in Cleveland, Ohio, on Thursday last, of consumption, in the 23d year of her age. The Piaindealer eays she was the daughter of Dr. Charles M. Yates, ot Meadvilie, Pa , and the niece of President Buchan an, with whom Bhe was a great favorite, almost the relation of an adopted daughter. She had been at the Water Cure about a year. Bonner, of the New York Ledger, announces that Mr. Dickens has been induced, by the usual golden arguments which Mr. Bonner employs to write a Tale expressly for the columns of the Ledger, and a portion of bis letter, in which he Btates that he would immediately commence on it, has been pub lished. Death of De Tocviuivili.e.— The City of Washington brings the news of the death of Henry Alexis de Tocquevilie, the dietiognisbed French author and statesman. He was often a member of the French Legislative Assembly, and in JB4B was Minister of Foreign Affairs of the French Republic. After Louis Napoleon seized absolute power he withdrew from public life, and occupied bimsel with the composition of a book upon the “Ancient Regime,” in which the causes of tl e French Revo lution are analyzed in a masterly manner. Hie ,‘Democracy in America ’ is the widest known of his works on politics. Southern Trade in New York— The New York Herald says that Ihe Western merchants have not been able to meet past obligations, or to take their nsnal proportion of goods for coming business, but their falling off has been more than made up by the increase of the Southern trade. Indeed, the Herald says, not only has the Southern demand been the chief reliance of the jobbers, but it has swept away completely the stocks in tbe New York warehouses. From Utah.—Utah advices eay hostilities are approaching in consequence of dissensions between Gen. Johnston, Gov. Cummings and the Judiciary •onceming their respective powers. Scfferzrs of the Stramer St. Nicholas.— A dispatch from Memphis dated tbe 27th says: Capt. Giime, First Clerk of th steamer St. Nicholas, died yesterday from injuries received by the explo sion. 88. Stewart of Staunton, Va., and O. B. Reynolds, of Sioux City, are not expected to re cover. J. C. Acuff, of Warrenton, Mies.; D. Coppe, of Farmington, 111., Jae. Murdoch, of Frank lin Springs, Ala , and Mias Kennedy are getting well. Serious Accident. —The Montgomery Advertt ser Bays: We learn that during the severe storm on Friday morning last, the corn-crib of Charles G. Gunter, Esq., on that gentleman’s plantation in this county, was struck by lightning, and two of a party of negroes, nine in number, who were at work therein shelling com, were instantly killed. Another negro of the party was so severely injured that his life was despaired of yesterday. The re mainder of the party sustained less serious injury from the shock. The crib and content? were totally consumed by fire. Snow —There was a heavy fali of snow at Gor donaviile, Va., on Saturday, the 23d inst., and at tbe time the cars left there for Richmond, the snow was three inches deep. Firemen’* Deception unit Fee Aval. The Atlanta firemen (Mechanic No. 2) retnn ed from Charleston in the 1 P. M. train Thursday, and were received at the depot by the Augusta Fre Department in full force Each machine was . ell manned, and the display made in marching through the streets attracted much attention Before laking up the lii e of march, however, aud after the Atlan ta Company had “refreshed,’ an interesting cere mony took place, which is worthy of epec'aj men tion. A beautiful flag, the gift of Miss R*ney of this city, was presented to the Atlanta Gram m tty G T. Barnes, Esq., of the Mechanic 2d Division, to whom the fl was entrusted for (Ist purpose, in a brief an! pertinent address and was responded to by Dr Campbell, of AtlaLta Mechanic N0.2, in fitting terms oi acknowledg ment. After marching up Broad street a short distance, the column c mnter-marehed, and took up their static’ o -.iff of the Augusta Hotel, and the trial of each me e on distance was made. Ten miuutes was uo • • ich engine, for working.— The following is the result: AUGUSTA FiRE DEPARTMENT. Washington, No. I- 131 feet 5 inches.

Mechanic No. 2, of Atlanta throw 182 feet. It will be seen from these figures that Augusta, No. 5, was the victor, throwing 191 feet 1 inches. Messrs J. D. Butt, W. H. Howard, and W. H. Goodrich were appointed and acted as Judges; and we believe everything, under their manag* - ment, was conducted with the utmost fairness.— Tuere was no il feeling consequent upon the result but all the competitors seemed in excellant hnmor. The successful engine bursted six sections of hose during the trial. All the machines did well, and as it was impossible for them all to be victors, the disappointed contestants may congratulate them selves that what they did achieve was worthy of and received particular commendation from the numerous spectators on the ground Our guests, especially, acquitted themselves nobly, aud sub mitted to their defeat with grace and good feeliDg. After the trial wae over, the companies again t ick their places in line, and marched to the Rich mond Academy, where a bountiful dinner was pro vided. After ample justice had been done to the viands, His Honor, Mayor Blodgett, rose, in response to a complimentary top.st, and spoke as follows: In rising, Gentlemen, to respond to the sentiment just offered, I feel as if I were acting in a double capacity. As Mayor of the City of Augusta, and representing what I know to be the feelings of our citizens, I would tender to these enjoying our hos pitalities, on this occasion, the cheerful welcome which Augusta always hss for her young and vigo rous sister Atlanta, whose stride has been that of a giant rs- to the present time, aud before whom the future opens a scene of prosperity nnd advance mens seldom anticipated by the inhabitants of Southern citiee. In her progress do our citizens take a lively interest, for, united to her as we are by ligaments mere durable than these which con nect the Siamese twin?, and distant, from her but a pleasant ride of a few boars, we feel a just pride in the contemplation of her intelligence and public spirit, and hope to see her maturer years fully bear ing out the promise of her youth. But not only do I welcome the citizens of Atlanta’ as Mayor, but as an old Fireman of Augusta, 1 ex tend the right hand of fellowship to the gallant fire men of Mechanic No. 2, of Atlanta. It is for ns, as Firemen, to do them justice, and manifest, out wardly, that strong paternal regard which we all entertain for them in our heats, and send them home to their relatives and friends to dwell long in the future on the pleasurable recollections of their slay in our city. Renowned as are the Firemen of Charleston for their liberality and friendship, the Firemen of Augusta are not backward in doing honor to their brethren, and that suoh may be the just verdict of our guest, is our anxious desire, I will conclude, gentlemen, by offering you the so! lowing sentiment : Augusta and Atlanta —ln the race of intell - gence and progress may both triumph. At the close of the Muyor’a address, which was warmly applauded, Dr. Campbell, of the Atlanta Company, was called upon lo respond; which he did in a strain of real eloquence and hearty enthusi asm. Wo are sorry to bo unable to give the Doc tor’s speech in full; we can only say that, despite the disadvantage dialer winch he labored from execs sive fatigue, it was a noble effort, and drew forth a perfect storm of cheers from the company. Other speeches, toasts aud sentiments, followed in rapid succession; champagne corks flew inerily about; and the “feast of reason and flow of soul’’ was prolonged till nearly dark, and the utmost good feeling aDd hilarity was manifest. The evening was passed in festivities and enjoy ments of various kinds, in which most of the fire men participated. The visit, though brief, has, we trust, been a pleasant one to our Atlanta friends. We have not the space to give even a condensed statement of the celebration of the twenty-first anniversary of the Charleston Fire Department, on Wednesday which was rendered more thau usually interesting by the large number of visit'mg Com panies which took part in the proceedings, bnt must confine ourselves to a simple statement of the playing off, which was reported as follows: Vigilant 168 ft. 9 in.

Indian Acuteness Explained. —The Texas cor respondent of the Scientific American says ; “The trail which hunters and Indians follow skilfully, is not so much composed of tracks or foot prints, as of indescribable little signs, such as leaves and blades of grass bent or turned, twigs broken, and other things so small and faint that they cannot be shown to any one, yet which, when all put together, make a kind of line along the ground, wl iob line can be seen by a rapid glancing look, but which will disappear when looked at steadily.” Washington Irvino attained his seventy-sixth year on the 3rd instant. Ills neighbors indicated their remembrance by offerings of Mowers, and by visits and greetings. Although during the past winter, our beloved and pioueer American author has suffered from sleeplessness and asthma, he is, on he whole, improving in health. Memphis and Charleston Railroad.— lt is tated, od the authority of Col.

The Paraguay correspondent of the Journal of Commerce, speaking of the fleet sent out to the Paraguay river, says : “Had there been a row, we must have finished by a coup de-main , and proba bly should have done so ; for wo had neither pow der nor shot, for a week’s campaign, and yet I un derstand there was a large superabundance of coal.” The United States Mail Steamer Vanderbilt, Capt.

The Havaoa correspondent of the Charleston Courier says : “ The stupid report published ia the New York Sun, of the 13th inst., of this island bemg in a ‘state of revolt,’ is almost too ridiculous to call for notice.

Wornum. —We have learn ed tbe following partieulais of the untimely deal h ot Mr. Charles P. Wornum, in the 27th year of his age, late a citizen of Columbus, where lie leaves several relatives aDd a large number of friends to mourn his sudden decease. He was stopping with his brother-in law, Mr Taylor F. Gibson, living in Crawford county, on Flint river; and on Saturday, the 16th inst., they had started to go to an upper plantation about five miles from Mr. Gibson’s risideuce. Whan near the plantation, the horses ran away, breaking up the buggy Mr. Gibson went after the burses, and Mr. Wornum took a batteau to row homo, though admonished of the danger of makiDg the attempt. About a mile below his starting point, at a rough and difficult shoal in the river, Ihe batteau is sup posed to have upset and he ‘eceived such injury as to have caused him to drown (for he was a good swimmer ) The river was dragged in vain for his body for several days; but, six days after his death it came to the surface during a thunder storm and was recovered. Logs thrown into the river were observed to capsize at tbe shoal, which fact leaves little doubt that the batteau was upset at the same point. —Columbus Enquirer. Sad Casualty. —On yesterday afternoon, the 4 o'olock Passenger train Irom Macon ran over and killed a man named Henry Spellers, near East Point. The cars passed over his head between the mouth and nose, completely severing (he upper part of the head from the body, which fell over Ihe rail aud remained in bis hat. On rounding a curve, emerging from a cut, the Engineer observed something on the track with several doge near it. llia first impression was that it was a hog, overrun by a preceding train, which bad attracted the dogs, but a second thought or closer approach, which was irslantaneous suggest ed that it might be a man, and he immediately re vereed the Engine, but too late. The unfortunate man was seen, some hours previously, on fcis way tc East Point, so much under the Influence of liquor as to be almost unable to walk. The dogs proved to be his, and would allow no approach to the body, until they were driven away by throwing stones at them. The body was brought to this city and an inquest held, after which it was decently interred. Mr. Spellers was an old risident of this county, and leaves a son—an only relative—to deplore his sad fat v.—Atlanta American of Thursday. New York Mining Company.—A few days since we visited the mining operations of Mr. Hesikiah Kelly, Sup'rintendent of the New York Mine, lo cated on Cain creek about two miles distant from this place. We were pleasantly received by Mr. K. and kindly shown his various operations. We were truly astonished to seethe amount of work which had been performed by Mr. K. in so short a period of time. The principle mode of operating st this mine is sluicing, which we understand will ulti mately be conducted on the hydraulic principle. The ditch which conveys the water to the mine is about 2j miles in length, and so great is its force at tbe terminus that hills which were thought imper vous are teen to melt before its power like n snow bank beneath ‘.he influence of a genial eun. Near the base the water and loose earth is concentrated into what, is termed sluice-boxes, of about seventy yards in length, for the purpose of gathering the line gold near the surface and that which surrounds the numerous veins which with tbe hill is interspersed. At the close of each week Ihe boies are cleansed up and tbe glittering treasure found gives abundanl evidence to the indefatigable Superintendent that his time has not been unprofitably employed. During the progress of the sluicing the quartz rock is carefully collected for the mill which is loca ted near by; and in our opinion, is unquestionably the best quartz mil! that has ever been erected in the country. It runs eight stamps weighing eight bun dred pounds each, and will pulverize from three to five hundred bushels of quartz in twenty four hours. On the east side of the creek several shafts are being, sunk and large quantities of ore ate daily taker out; the number ol bauds employed are about eighteen. Mr. K. thinks that he has now got suf ficient headway to keep the mill constantly employ ed. We confidently believe that this company with their present energetioSuperintendent at their head are bound to get a handsome per cent, upon their investment.— Dahloneya Signal, ‘-bid imt. The Representation of the Incoming States —The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writing on the subject of the approaching ad mission of Kansas into the L nion, sayß : Excepting the margins of water courses, the Ter ritory is barren and utterly incapable of supporting a population, white or black, free or slave. The gold fever which arose in the western part of the Territory last fall has attracted population to that point from States in the vicinity, but for which temporary event it could hard!/ be expected that the Territory would contain a . efficient population to entitle it to admission under the English bill. Neither Kansas, nor Nebraska, nor any of the territory beyond or towards the Rocky Mountains, out of which it is expected to carve half dozen States, will ever be fit to be admitted into the Union on a footing with the great Statu of New York and Virginia. The whole tenito y mentioned will never, taken as a whole, be worth as much as Berks county, in Pennsylvania.
