It is made from the best barley that can lie selected in Enr<>|>e. with the esseuee of an aromatic Italian ber ry of acknowledged and extraordinary medical propel' ties. It has long since acquired a higher reputa tion. both in Europe and America, than any other diu retic Iteveragc. In Gravel, Gout, audKlicumatism, in Obstructions of t o Bladder and Kidneys, and in general Debilities, its eff'sete are prompt, decided, und invariably reliable.— And its Is not only a remedy for these maladies, bet, in all eases in which they are produced by drinking bud water, which is almost universally the cause of them, it operates ns a surepreventive. The distressing effect upon the stomach, bowelsand bladder, of travelers, or new residents, and all persons unaccustomed to them, produced by the waters of nearly all our great inland rivers, like the Ohio, Miss issippi, nnd Alabama, from the large quantity of de cayed vegetable matter contained in them, in a state of solution, is well known, as also that of the waters of limestone regions, producing Gravel, Calculi, and Stone in the Bladder. The Aromatic Schiedam Schnapts is an absolute corrective of these injurious properties of bad water, aud consequently prevents the diseases which they occasion. It is also found to be a cure and preventive of Fever nnd Ague, a com plaint caused by thy conjoint effect of vegetable mala ria in the atmosphere, and vegatable prutescences in- thc waters of those districts in which it principally pre vails. The Aromatic Sciedam Schxpps is conse quently in great demand by persons traveling, or about to settle in those parts of the country, especially, as well as by many in every community where it baa be come known, on account of its various other remedial properties. in all cases of a Dropsical tendency it is generally the only remedy required, when adopred in the early stages of the disease. In Dyspepsia maladies, when taken in proper quantities, as a diet drink, and espe cially at dinner, it is found, by uniform experience, to be eminently efficacious in the most obstinate eases, when even the best of the usual remedies have failed f 0 than temporary relief. In cases of Fla tulencv, it is an immediate and invariable specific; and it may be administered in diluted aud proportion ate quantity * *v.i . • ung infants,in all those pa- roxvsms of griping pain in the stomach and bowels to which they arc especially subject, as well as in the colic of grown persons. Its judicious adoption in connection with the principal meals, or when a sense of exhaustion dictates its use, never fails to relieve the debility attendant upon pro tracted chronic maladies, low temperament, and ex hausted vital energy, by whatever cause induced. These are facts to which many of the most eminent medical men botfi in Europe aud tl;e t ubed States, have borne testimony, and which are corroborated by their highest written authorities.

Inti-Bank Meeting in M bit field. At a large, spirited and enthusiastic meeting of the citizens -of Whitfield county, irrespective oi party, or party affiliation, held this day at the court house in Daltou, to consider the propriety of Governor Brown’s veto message, on motion Judge Win Hammond, was called to the Chair, and Robert Q. Sterns requested to act as Secreta ry. Judge Hommond on taking the chair very briefly, but appropriately explained the object of the meeting, when on motion o( W. H. Stanscl Esq., a committee of five was appointed by tb chair, to report matter for the action of the meet ing, as follows: to-wit W. H. Stansel, Ch’m., C. B. Wefborn, Wm. J. Underwood, Dr. B B. Brown, and Rev. John M, Richardson. Maj. Tali aterro, our Representative, was then called for who responded in a few sensible, practical aud satisfactory remarks, during the absence of the commitee; when our worthy friend, Dawson A. Walker, from Spring Place, responded very ap propriately, but briefly to a call of his fellow-citi zens. fully sustaining the position taken by Gov ernor Brown,„nd co-operating heartily with the meeting, assuming that the occasion which called us together was one above party consideration Col. J A. W. Johnson then made some practical remarks, in response to a call, when the com mittee, through the chairman, made the following report, to-wit: Wheicas, the Legislature, at its late session passed a bill legalizing the various bank suspeu sions in this State, to which Gov- Brown, our Executive, with Jackson firmness appended his ve to, and whereas the General Assembly subse quently^}- a constitutional majority passed said bill over the Governor’s head, and it is now the law of the land, in spite of our sterliug, watchful Executive, Cherokee’s chosen une, who has at all times, and under all circumstances, shown him self to be the friend of the people, when their rights ate threatened by monied co-operations. Be it therefore, Resolved 1st. That the people of Whitfield irrespective of p&uy, heartily approve the princi pies set forth in Governor Brown’s message veto ing the bill passed by the recent session of the Legislature, legalizing the general bauk suspen sion. Resolved 2d. That we not only approve the principles set forth in said message, but as hearti ly approve with the same unanimity, the act of ap plying the veto to said bill. Resolved 3rd. That we recognize in said mes sage, the true democratic doctrine of the Jack- son school, of equal paivileges to all, exclusive privileges to none, thereby placing the monied corporations upon the same footing with the hum blest debtor in the land. Resolved 4th. That onr Senator and Represen tative hereby have, (as they are entitled,) our uu- quallifiied approbation, for the manly firmness, with which they sustained the Governor by their votes in opposing said bill. Resolved 5th. That we recomend, and earnestly, request the people in every county in the State friendly to the principles promulgated in said mes sage, to hold similar meetings, to vindicate and sustain the man who has dared to lay hands upon the monster, and strangle it in its birth, throwing himself in the breach, between monied corporations and tbe dearest rights of the people.

Reading, a few weeks since, one ofDe Quin- cer’s papers—“Three Memorable Murders,”— recalled to my mind the strange circumstances of one of the most mysterious domestic dramas that ever taxed the ingenuity of man, or required the flight of time to develop. The locality of our story lies amid one of the wildest aud most picturesque regions of the Old Dominion, where tbe head waters of the Rap pahannock wash the base of the Blue Ridge. The precise spot—Urosslaud—is a sublime and beautiful scene, where two forest-crowned ranges of mountains cross each other at oblique angles. At the interacting point of these ridges nestles a little hamlet, from its elevated position, Alta- mont. At the period at which our story opens the four estates, in the four angles of theirregular moun tain cross, were owned as follows: . The eastern farm, called Piedmont, was the life property of Madam Auderly, a Virginian lady of the old school. The western and most valuable estate was the inheritance of Honora Panic, an orphan heiress, granddaughter and ward of Madame Auderly. The northern and smallest one, called from be ing the deepest vale oftlie four—Hawe’s Hole—was the property of old Hugh Hawn, a widower of gloomy temper* parsimonious habits, aud almost fabulous wealth. The southern farm—named, from the extrava gant cost of she elegant mansion-house, elaborate out-buildings, and highly ornamented grounds, which had absorbed the mentis of the late owner’ “Farquier’s Folly”—was the heavily-mortgaged patrimony of Godfrey Farquier Dulanie, the grand son of Hugh Hawe, and now a young aspirant for legal honors at the University of Virginia. But little benefit to the heir was to he hoped from the inheritance of his father’s burthend property. In tiie first place old Hugh Hawe had bought up in his own name all the claims against the estate of Farquier’s Folly—doubtless to prevent a fore closure, and to save the properry for his grand son. But, unhappily, Godfrey had mortally offended the despotic old man by declining an agricultural life, and persisting in the study of a profession—a course that has resulted in his own disinherit ance To make this punishment more bitter to his grandson, the old man had taken into favor his nephew Dr., Htxiry Hawe, whom he had estab lished near himself at Farquier’s Folly. A t this time, the disinherited heir, having finish ed a term at the University had come down to spend a part of his vacation in his native place. It was upon the Saturday evening of his arrival he found the little hotel, and, indeed, the whole village of Alatmont, in a great state of excitement, from the fact that the celebrated heiress, Miss Honora Paule, had just stopped there, and passed through on her way home. Those who hpd been so happy as to catch a glimps of her face, vied with each other in praise of Iter many charms, while those who had not, ^ HP „ listned with eagerness, and looked forward to iu- and"*W* IirStani^iEsq.Viu^s'upportof" the report I damnifying Miemeselves by seeing her at church of the committee. At the conslusion of which the ime w as unanimously adopted, after which Esqr Smith Trued well, our Squalor, addressed the meet ing briefly, but very feelingly, giving expression of his gratitude to his constituents, for their ap probation of his stewardship, as evinced in the re port of the commitee just adopted, on motion of Wm P Chester, Esq., the proceedings of the meeting were ordered to he published in the North Georgia Times.

He ought to be. Horace thought the house and the wife (Jomm et placens uxor) were enough to make a man happy. The lucky fellow* who adds to these a horse, a baby to ride it, should be tbe best humored man in the world—that is, if bay aud pro visions are reasonably cheap.

I have used your Puin Killer for a number of years, and for bowel complaint uud burns, and in fact for pains of all kinds, I think it pre-eminent. Before I became acquainted with your medicine, I hud a violent attack oi dysentery, which reduced me very low, in fact my friends thought I could not survive, hut by the treatment of a Botanic Physician, the best reme dy I then know, I recovered. Since then, I have had several attacks, one very violent, about four years ago. I was attacked at 3 o’clock in the morning, end at sunrise, I was not able to get off my bed I sent and got'a twenty-five cent bottle of yourPnin Killer, which I commenced taking, necording to directions, and .at six o’clock in the evening my bowls were regular, and I was up and moving about, although some-whnt weak. 1 would recommend to all simaliarlv afflicted, to avail themselves of your invaluable medicine.

The nextjday, Godfrey Dulanie attended church where lie saw* and fell in love with the most beautiful and intellectual-looking girl he ever be held. From cheapness and simplicity of her attire,he supposed her to he some poor dependent of Madame Attderly’s, in whose pew she sat. God frey was completely captivated, and he resolved at once to woo, aud, if possible, win this lovely being lor his wife, poor girl though she was, He was glad she was poor, because she could for that rea son be more easily won Iiut onaccompanyingMr Willoughby, the clergyman, and his hr. ther-in- law, Ernest Heine, home after church, what was his astonishment, and dismay at being introduced ’ to the supposed “poor girl” whom lie found to he no other than the celebrated Miss Honora Paule, the greatest heiress and belle, as well as the best and noblest girl, in the State of Virginia. She greeted him cordially, and iu a few minutes the. company were busily engaged in conversation. The topic of “capital punishment” having been started. Godfrey turned *o Honora, and said: I take an especial personal interest in having capital punishment abolished—Miss Paule, do you believe in astrology?” Honora started, fixed her eyes intently upon the questioner, and then withdrawing them an- swerd— “Sir, why did you ask me if I believe iu astrolo gy?” “Because, Miss Paule’ I was about to relate for your amusement a prediction that was made con cerning myself, by a professor of that black art.” “A prediction,” exclaimed Mrs. Willoughby, draw ing near, with eager interest. “Yes, madant,” replied Mr. Dnlanic^siuiling, “a prediction which, if I believed, would certainly dispose me to favor the abolishment of the death penalty. Three years since, while I was sojourn ing for a short time in the city of Richmond, on my way to the University, I chanced to hear of the Egyptian Dervis, Achabad, who was at that time creating quite a sensation in the city. His wonderful reputation was the theme of every tongue. “Idleness and curosity combined to lead me to his rooms. He required a night to cast my horoscope. He demanded, and I gave him the day aud hour of my* birth, aud then’I took leave, with the promise to return iu the morning. The next day I went—” # “ Well?” questioned Tlonbra, earnestly. “My horoscope was a HoRUOR-scope indeed! It predicted for me—a short and stormy life, aud a sharp and sudden death.” ‘Good Heaven! But—the details?” “It prophesied four remarkable events, the first of which lias already come to pass.” .‘,And that was—7” ** The loss of my patrimonial estatp!” “Singular coincidence!” interruped Mr. Wil loughby, as he arose and joined his wife and bro ther-in-law at the other end of the room. “I thought so when the prophecy was fulfilled,” replied Godfrey. “And the other three events?” softly inquired Honora. “The other three .events, if they follow as pre dicted must happen within the next two years, or before I reach my twenty-fifth anniversary. The first of these is to be the unexpected inheritance of vast wealth.” Upon hearing this, a bright smile played around the lips of Honora. and banished the clouds from her brow. She waited a few minutes for him to pro- hut finding that lie continued silent, site said— “Well, Mr Dulanie, go on! what was the third predicted event?” “Do you command me to inform you?” “No, sir; I begyou, of your courtesy, to do so.” “Very well,” he said, dropping his voice to a low undertone, “It was to be my marriage with the woman I should worship.” A deep vivid biush supplanted the bright smile that quivered over Honora's variable face. There was a pause, broken at length by her voice, as she gently inquired— “And the fourth?” The answer came reluctantly, and in tones so low as to meet only her ear. “The fourth and last prediction was, that before my ticcnty-Jiflh birth-day I should perish on the scaf fold. ’, A low cry broke from tits lips of Ilondra as her hands flew up and covered her face. After a minute or two she dropped them, and looking him steadily in the face, said with quiet firmness— “You doubtless wonder at my emotion. Now hear me. On tho autumn following the summer in which that prediction was made to you, 1 was in Baltimore with my grandmother, and with Mrs. Willoughby, who was then Miss Heine. Curiosi ty took us to the ftiorns of the Egyptian who was then practicing iu that city. And alter some such preparations as he had used iu your case, he cast my horoscope aud read my future. It was this, that before my twentieth birthday, I should be a bride, but never a wife, for that the fated form of the senfold a r osc between the nuptial benediction and the lirulal chamber. .Such were the words of the prophecy.” She spoke with a solemnity that seemed to overshadow every other feeling. \ Lticif# thfc auspices of ftiss Rose Auderly, they I wen- inst about to form what she called a Sybil s 1 Gircl.. for which purpose, Messrs. Heine and “re: ue were dispatched to bring forward a round tab; - Miss. Rose went to a cabinet to seek the “Sybil s Leaves,” which she presently produced All then seated themselves around the table. A dead silence reigned. Rose, shuffled the cards, turned them with their faces down, and then, addressing her right-band neighbor, Mr. Sterne, iu a low voice, she demanded— “ What would yon with the Sybil?” “ I would know the future partner of my life,’, was the formal answer. “ Draw!” The young man hesitated for a while, smiled, and, rejecting all those cards that were nearest him self, put his hand under the pack, and withdrew the lowest one. “ Read.'” he said, extending the card to the Sybil. “Hear!” she exclaimed: “A widow, beautiful as light, ’Twill be your lot to wed— With a rich jointur, which shall pour Its blessings on your bead.’” There was a general clapping of hands, and shunts of laughter. It was now Miss Jessfe's turn to test her fate. Being a young lady, she would not put the ques tion in tiie usual form, but merely inquired what should be her future fate. The answer drawn was— ‘“To dandle fools and chronicle small beer.’” a reply that nearly extinguished Miss Jessie for the evening. ‘ I declare, if here is not Mr. Hugh Hawe!” ex claimed the lively Lily, as the old miser sauntered deliberately to the table, and stood looking with indolent curiosity npon the game of the young peo ple. “Come, Mr. Hawe! I declare, you shall have your fortune told!” “Well, well—the commands of young ladies are not to be disobeyed,” replied the old man, gal lantly, as he extended his hand and drew a card, which he passed to theSybi). Amid a profound silence, and in a solemn voice, she read— ‘“Thy fate looms full of horror! From false friends, Near at hand, perdition threatens thee!— A foarlui sign stands in thy bouse of life!— An enemy—a fiend lurks close behind T he radiance of thy planet.—Oh, be warned!'” “Pshaw! what serious mockery!” exclaimed the old man, scornfully, as he turned away, and gave place to his nephew, who had all the while been posted behind him, peeping over his shoulder. “Will you permit me to test my fortune?” in quired the “fascinating” Dr. Hawe. ‘‘And what would you with the Sybil?’* was the response. “I would know- the future.” “Draw!” said the Sybil, in a tone of assumed sternness. Smiling his graceful but most sinister smile, the doctor drew a card, and passed it to the reader. “Hear! ’ said the latter, lifting the table of fate, and reading— ‘“//.note thee'.—thou fcarest the solemn night! \\ ith her piercing stars, and her deep winds’ might! 1 here s a tone iu her voice thou fain wouldstshun, I or it aske what the secret soul hath done! And thou!— there’s a weight on thine!—away!— Back tQ thy home and pray!”’ “Look! I declare how pale the doctor has grown!” exclaimed tiie flippant Jessie “One would really think, to look at him, that a deep remorse for some unacted crime’ preyed ou him.” Nonsense! Jugglery!” said the latter, turn ing away to conceal his agitation. The eyes of Honora i’aule followed him with the deepest interests—there was that upon his brow that she had never seen before. The next in turn was Agnes, Turning to her. Rose said: “What seek you in the magic circle, lady/’’ “My destiny.” answered the luscious tones. “Invoke the knowledge!” Agnes drew a tablet, ami passed it, as usual, to the Sybil, who read— “‘Oil, ask me not to speak thy fate! Oh, tempt me not to tell The doom shall make thee desolate, The wrong thou mayst not quell! Atrny! Airay!—for death would be Even as a merry unto thee'.'" Agues shuddered, aud covered her face with her hands. “Put up the tablets! They are grow ing fatal!” said Rose. “Not for the world!—now that each word is fate! There is a couple yet to be disposed of! Miss Paule, draw near!” said Mr. Heine. The cheek of i ionora Panic changed: yet striv ing with a feeling that she felt to be unworthy, she smiled, reached forth her baud, drew a tablet, aud passed it to the Sybil, who, in an affective voice, read— “‘But how is this? A dream is on my soul! I see a bride—all crowned with flowers, aud smiling, As in delighted visions, on the brink Of a dread chasm—and thou art she!”’ Honora heard in silence, remembering the strange correspondence of these lines with the pre diction of tiie astrologer, made long ago, endeav oring to convince herself that it was mere conei- donee, and vainly trying to subdue the foreboding of her heart. “Mr. Dulanie!” said Rose, shuffling the tablets, and passing them to him. He drew a card, and returned it to be perused. The Sybil took it, and a thrill of surpersitious terror shook her frame as she read— “ * Disgrace and ill, And shameful death art near!' ” An irrepressible low cry broke from the pallid lips of Honora. “Throw up the cards!” she said: “It is wicked, this tampering with the mysteries of the future!” The above is-the commencement of Mrs. South- worth’s great story, w hich is now being published in the New York Lodger, We give this as a sam ple: but it is only tiie begining o! this most interest ing, fascinating, aud beautiful tale—the bal ance, or enntinuaton of it, can only be found in the New York Ledger, the great family paper, for which the most popular writers in the country con tribute, and which cau be found at all tbe stores throughout the city and country, where papers are sold .Remember and ask for tiie New York Ledger oi January lli, and in it you will get the continuation of the story from where it leaves off here.

There was a coarse, mocking laugh from the crowd of half drunken wretches standing near. The eyes of Richard flashed angrily; but tbe voice and still more, tbe imploring look of his mother restrained him. “Let us return home,” she said in a despair ing tone. “I feel faint and sick at heart.” And leaning on the arm of her sou, the unhap py wife tottered rather than walked irom the place. The keen, frosty air partially restored her strength and Rachel proceeded with her children till she reached the thoroughfare lending through St. Margaret's church yard; towards the Almonry, when a faint moan front Mary, whom she still carried iu her anus, arrested her steps. She placed her hand under the thin faded shawl which cover ed fo r; the child was cold as ice, and shivering, as if seized with an ague tit. “She is dying!” groan’ed the terror-stricken pa rent, dying for want of fooiE” The heart of her boy could endure no more—it was breaking. The cup of misery and endurance hud been tilled to overflowing. His brains was on tire—tears could not quench it. "Take her home mother!” he cried—“take her home! never fear but I will bring you food! Mary shan't die! PU beg—beg,” he added: anything to save her!” “Richard! Richard! do not leave me!” shrieked his agonized parent. “Let me not lose both my children! if you love your mother, return for pity’s sake return!” The appeal came too late. Her son, stung, maddened beyond endurance by the sufferings ot those so dear to him, had broken from her feeble grasp, darted down the thoroughfare, aud was already beyond the reach of her voice. Rachel clung to the railings of the churchyard for support, till a second moan, still fainter than the first, sent a pangjtbrough her maternal breast. “She must not die in the street!”| niurrnered Rachel. “Home—home! if I have strength to’ reach it.” “Oh God!” she cried with a sudden burst of an guish, "protect my boy! Shield him from crime; guard him against vices and tho hideous snares which in a thousand forms assail unfriended youth or take him,” she added solemnly, “take him in Thy mercy.” It was a Christian’s prayer wrung from a moth er’s heart uttered iu faith, in agony, in tears; and angels boro it to the mercy-seat ou high. Clasping her perishing child yet closer to her aching bosom, the druukards wite^liastened home. As Richard Hoffman rushed along the street, scarce knowing whither he went, and only intent on the one idea of gutting, by some means, Jfood for his famished motherand sister, he was hailed by Jack Manders, an. impih acquaintance who lived near Richard’s home, and to whom lie told the desperate state in which he had left those so dear to him. Jack listened with much interest aud at once proposed to Richard to help him to pickfthe pocket of an old gentleman who was star ing into a window on the opposite side of the street. Richard refused with honor, although Jack urged the necessity of at once geting some thing to save the life of his motherand little Ma ry. Jack then undertook the business alone, and just as lie had relieved the old gentleman of his pocket-book, a policeman sprang from a doorway to arest him; but Jack made good his escape. Not so Richard, w ho was at once, seized by the police man as an accomplice of the escaped pick-pock et. “I am no thief, sir,” cried Richard breaking from the strong grasp that held him, and throwing himself at the feet of the old gentleman, who had just come to the spot, “though poverty and hunger tempted to me to become one. My mother aud sister are starving.” The future history and trials of this poor boy will be given in the New Y’ork Ledger of January Hi, w hich is for sale at all the bookstores and news offices.

First came Father O’houherty, the parish priest of (St. Andrew’s Church, at Crossland. The next arrivals were Mr. aud Mrs Wil loughby, and Mr. Heine.

Richard Hoffman. A TALE OE LOVE AND RETRIBUTION. Rachel Bently, the lovely daughter of one of the richest merchants of London, having married George Huffman., one of her father’s .clerks, during the old man's absence iu India, he ou his return disinherited her and discharged George. The , latter being overwhelmed by disappointment, took I to drink, and iu a lew years became a habitual drunkard; his wife supporting jjerself and two children—Richard, now a line boy iu his thir- ‘ teeuthyear, and Mary, a sweet child of six—by selling, one alter another, the remnants of her once costly w ardrobe and jewelry. On the last day of December of the year in which our story opens, Rachel was without food light or tire aud that very day the rent must fo paid. Little Mary was moaning for bread, aud crying with cold. The drunken father was at the dram-shop. The agonized mother had but one more article of value lelt—a locket containing a lock of her father’s hair (she hoped to be able to save this tbe last memento of her ouce lia.ppy home. But goaded by little Mary’s cries for food she seized the locket, rushed to a pawnbroker’s, obtained a few shillings, put by tbe amount of the rent and with the rest purchased a little bread and milk for her cluldruu, and then set out, with them, to visit the old confidential clerk of her father. Peter Mangles, who had ever beeu kind to her, to con suit him about sending Richard away from the contaminating influences with which he was sur rounded. On returning home late.on New-Y’ear's eve from her fruitless visit, lor the old clerk was not at home, Rachel discovered that her husband had beeu at home, aud stolen the sum she had put by for the rent from the place where she had con cealed it, and gone off again to ■‘•The Crown and Magpie” tavern to wast it in drunkenness. Little Mary, chilled and hungry, began to xry for food, and (he suffering molher, iu hopes of re gaining a portion of money taken by her husband, set out with her children to the haunt of vice whither George Hoffman had gone. There was a great crowd at the liar of “The Crown and Magpie.” The landlady—a stout, vulgar-looking woman with red ribbons in her cap a profusion of fals cu ‘Is, a heavy gold chain round her tneck, and numerous-rings Sun.her fat fingers was busily engaged jn pouring out gin for her customers; tbe regular ones she wos treating for it must not be forgotten that it was New-Year’* eve. Such was the scene of viee and dissipation which met the eye and sickened the heart of Rachel when, with little Marv iu her arms, and protcct- td by the presence of tier son, she ventured into foe house. “Is Mr. Hoffman here 1” she inquired faint- •y.

The Latest Scics from the Utah Expedition—Ad. ditional from Salt Lake City. Leavenworth City, K. T. Jan. 5,1858. Two men have just arrived here from our army in Utah; they are the Messrs. Rope and Moreiiead, agents lor Russell Ac. Weddell. They left the army on the 4th of December; it was then at Fort Bridger, in Utah, thirty miles beyond Ham’s Lork, 380 miles from Fort Laramie and 113 miles from Great Salt Lake City. The army was iu fine spirits and good condition. The report brought by the nine men who arrived several days ago was incorrect aud exaggerated. At the time they left the army the cattle were dying oil’ very rapidly; perhaps from fifty to tw o hundred a night and the troops had been on partial rations in some articles for a short period, and are indeed at present. The Mormons were also troubling them some; but since the army has got to its Winter quarters, and arianged its internal affairs, everything is in bet ter condition. The troops think they will be able to Winter all tin; cattle that have reached Fort Bridger. Only four trains were left at Fort Laramie instead of twelve, as previously believed; so the army has with it eleven trains notwithstanding the loss of three. This Lsgood news, as it shows there is an ample supply of provisions with the army to last jt during the Winter. The three trains destroyed consisted mainly of tents, cloths and camp equipage. Tiie troops are in want of nothing but baron aud salt. Four companies have been formed out ot the teamsters, and the army, includ ing them, is said to be over 2,U0(i strong. The troops intend to Winter at Fort Bridger. The Mormons have not molested them since they ar rived there. On the 2d of December six Mormons arrived at Fort Bridger, with a communication from Brig ham Young to Col. Johnston, also a load of salt for the army. Whether the letter was received or not by the Colonel, Messrs. Rupe and More- head do not kuo.w, but the salt was not received, and the Mormons were ordered to leave the camp with it they were also informed that if they came to the fort again without a flag they would be tired upon. The army left Ham’s Fork on the morn ing of the 6th November, aud marched to Black’s Forks—a distance of about sixteen miles. On that day the first heayy suoiv storm uf the sea son commenced; n lasted several days, and dur iug its continuance tiie Mucinous ran otf several hundred head of cattle belonging to different trains. The troops and part of the trains arrived at Fsrt Bridger on the 17th of November: only one-third of the trains w.ere able to get up at a time, the loss of cattle was so great. All the supply trains reached Fort Bridgex/of the 22d of November. They were all unloaded and the pro visions stored for the Winter by the 27th of No vember. The four ladies with the army are in good health and fine spirits. The Governor and Sec retary were at the fort, and intended to hold a court there iu a few days for tbe trial of such cases as might, be presented to them. The weather was very fine when these gentlemen left; there was no snow ou the ground: the ttmpera ture was warm and agreeable. After leaving, on the 4th ult, they traveled along on mules very pleasantly till Lhey arrived at South Pass, where they found the snow very deep, hying on an ave rage three or four feet, while in some places it was twelve feet. This condition of the roads continued over the Rocky Bridge,, to Sweet water, a distance of from 35 to 40 miles. They were three days making that distance. Between Sweetwater and Fort Laramie the roads were good; there was no snow ou the ground except what little fell in two slight snow storms through which they passed. On tho 16foof December they arrived at Fort Laramie: on Christmas they made Ash Hollow, Geu. Harney's battle ground; ou the 30th reached Fort Kearny, and arrived here this morning. The roads from Forts Lara mie and Kearny are in fine condition. At sweet- water they overtook tiie United States mail, and traveled with it to Ash Hollow; there they passed it; it will, however, reach here iu a few day. All the Indians on tbe road were friendly aad seemed anxious to he considered so. The army had no salt at aM. Captain Marcy and his company had gone down into Mexico for salt aud animals to moye the Rains with in the Spring. Tim Goodall acted as guide for them; they left ou the 2dth November. Messrs. Rupe and Morehead met twenty-jive mules, packed with salt, 175 miles beyond Fort Laromie, w hich supply must have reached Fort Bridger before this time. The army will remain in its present pesition during the Winter w ithout much, if any, sutlering. The w ant of salt is tho only thing that will be felt severely. There was no anticipation of the Mor mons attacking the atmy, or iff' their retreating iu the Spring without fighting. The army, of course, will not attempt to enter Salt Lake City till they are largely le-enforoed. Tiie Los Angales Star of Dec. 8fo gives some very interesting facts from the Mormon country, communicated by Mr. Bell, who left Salt Lake City on the 6th November. The Star says: The rumor alluded to in our last respecting the burning of a number of wagons lias beeu con firmed by Mr. Bell. The wagons were the {gop- erty of the Government contractqrs, and seventy- six of them were burned. A body of armed mounted men came at .night to the .camp, told the wagou-master what they iulended to do, gave him time to awake his men and remove their baggage and bedding, told biin to select a wagon to take his party back to the States, which he did, and they then set fire to the whole train, burning up seventy- six wagons. The cattle were driven into Sait Lake City. What regard to Jthe Indians east of Salt Lake, it is more than probalxAv that Col J.ohuston has propitiated them, aud thsy* wjll be found, if not on the side of the Government, at least neutral. In case of resistance to tbe troops, there is every'" ■reason for confidence that Col. Johnston will force , tiie passage of the cannon and make good his advance to the city. The fore if the Mormons has beeu greatly over estimated; „.imost every available man bus been enrolled. Iu passing through the settlement Mr. Bell found that tbe men generally had been called out to the mountains; and yet the whole force fell far short of 10,000 men. Tbe Winter has set in with severity. In the city the snow was two inches deep, and in the mountains w’here the Mormons were encamped it must have been from six to twelve inches deep. The Mormon army was in a very poor condition, badly clothed, pooily armed aud with very little provisions. The families are represented as being in a suf fering condition—wanting in provisious and wood, the Winter already commenced and the men all called off to tbe camps. We have confirmation of the report that was circulated at the time, regarding tho company that was massacred some time since, that they suffered at the bands of tiie Indians in revenge for criminal indiscretions on the part of certain of their members. Small bags containing poison were found in springs, the waters of wliich caused sickness aud usatii amoug the Indians. They mustered their forces, followed and massacred the whole party. Klcaraguan Affairs. The following is the Messago oftlie President upon the arrest of Geu. Walker, lo which we re ferred in our last. It is au able vindication of tb policy of the Administration, as well as of the na tional good faith, aud will command tbe attention of our readers; Washington, January 7, 1633. In submitting to the .Senate the papers for which they have called, I deem it proper to make a few observations. In capturing General Walker and his command, after they had landed on the soil of Nicaragua, Commodore Paulding has, in my opinion, commit ted a grave error, it is quite evident, however, from the communications herewith transmitted, that this was done from pure and patriotic motives, and iu the sincere conviction that he was promo ting the interests and vindicating the honor of his country. In regard to Nicaragua, she has sustained no injury by act of Commodore Paulding. This lias enured to her benefit, and relieved her from a dreaded invasion. She alone would have any right to complain of the violation of her territory; and it is quite, certain that she will never exercise this right. It unquestionably does not lie in the moutli of her invaders to complain in her name that she has been rescued by Commodore Paulding from their assaults. The error of this gallant officer consists iu exeeediug his instructions, and landiug his sailors and marines in Nicaragua, whe ther with or without her consent, for the purpose of making war upon any military force whatever which he might find in tho country, no matter from whence they came. This power certainly did not belong to him. Obedience to law, and conformity to instructions are the best and safest guides for all officers, civil and military, and when they trans cend these limits and act upon their own personal responsibility, evil consequences inevitably follow. Under these circumstances, when Marshal Rynders presented himself at the State Department, ou the 2Dtli ultimo, with Gen. Walker in custody, tin-Se cretary informed him that the Executive Depart ment of the Government did not recognise Gen. Walker as a prisoner; that it had uo directions to give concerning him, that it is only through the action of the judiciary that he could be lawful ly held iu custody, to answer any charges that might be brought against him. The crime of setting on foot or providing the means for a military expedition within the United States, to make war against a foreign Stato with which we are at peace, it is one of an aggravated and dangerous character, and early engaged the attention of Congress. Whether the executive government possesses any, or what power, under the constitution, independently of Congress, to prevent or punish this or similar offences against the law of nations, was a subject which engaged the attention of your most eminent statesmen iu the time of the administration of General Wash ington, and ou the occasion oftlie French revolu tion. The act of Congress of the 5th Juue, 171(4, fortunately removed all the difficulties on this question which had heretofore existed. The 5th and 7th sections of this act, which relate to the present question, are the same iu substance with the litli and 6th sections of tbe act of April 2 ith, lsl6, and have now been in force for a period of more than sixty years. In thus far disapproving the conduct of Commo dore Paulding, no inference must be drawn tiiat I am less determined than I ever have beeu to exe cute the neutrality law s of the United States. This is my imperative duty, aud I shall coutiuue to per form it by all the meaus which the constitution and the laws have placed in my power. My opin ion of the value and importance of these laws cor responds entirely with tiiat expressed by Mr. Mon roe in his n.essage to Congress in December 7, 1619. That wise, prudent and patriotic statesman says: ‘ It is of the highest importance to our national character, and indispeusihlc to the morality of our citizens that all violations of our neutrality should be prevented. No door should be left open for the evasion of our laws; no opportunity afforded to any who may be disposed to take advantage of it to conipromit the interest or the honor of the nation.” The military expedition rendered criminal by the act must have its origin, must “begin’ or be set on foot in the United States; but the great object of the law was to save foreign States with whom we were ai peace from tbe ravages of these lawless ex peditions preceding from our shores. The seventh section alone, therefore, which simply defines the crime and punishment, would have been inade quate to accomplish this purpose aud inforce our international duties. In order to render the law effectual it was uecessary to prevent the ‘carry ing on” of such expeditious to their cousuniatiou after they had succeeded iu leaving our shores.— Tins lias been done effectually, aud iu clear and explicit language,by the authority of the {‘resident, under the eight sectiou of act to employ the laud and myal forces of the United States “for the purpose of preventing the carrying on of any such expedition or enterprise from the territories of the United Srates against the territories or domain of any foreign prince or State, or of auy colony, dis trict or people with whom the United States are at peace. For these reasons had Commodore Paulding, in tercepted the steamer “Fashion” with General Waik< r and his commayl on board, at any period before they entered the port of San Juan de Nica ragua, and conducted them back to Mobile, this would have prevented them from “carrying on” the expedition, and have been not only ajustitible, but a praiseworthy act. The crime well deserves tho severe punishment inflicted upon it by our law s. It violates the prin ciples ot Christianity, morality and humanity, held sacred by all civilized nations, and by none more than by the people of the United States. Disguise it as we may, such a military expedition is au in vitation to reckless aud lawless men to enlist un der the banner of an adventurer to rub, plunder, and murder the unoffending citizens of neighbor ing States, who have never done them harm. It is a usurpation of the war-making power which be longs alone to Congress; aud the government it self, at least in the estimation of the world, be comes an accomplice iu the commission of the crime, ouly it adopts all the means necessary to prevent and punish it. It would be far better and more in accordance with the bold and manly character of our countrymen, for the government itself to get up such expeditions thau to allow them to proceed under the command of irresponsible ad venturers. We could then, at least, exercise some control over our own agents, and prevent them from huruing down cities and committing other acts of enormity, of which we have read. The avowed principles wliich lies at the founda tion of the law of nations is contained iu the Di vine command that “all things whatsover ye would that men should do to you. do ye even so to them.” Tried by this unerring rule, we should be severely condemned if we shall not use our best exertions to arrest such expeditions against our feeble sister republic of Nicaragua. Oue thing is very certain, that people never existed who would call any other nation to a stricter account thau » o should ourselves for tolerating lawless expeditions from their shores to make war upon auy portion of our territories. By tolerating such expeditions we shall soon lose theliigli character which wo have eujoyed ever sthce tire days of Washington for the faithful performance of our international obliga tions aad duties, and inspire distrust against us among the members uf the great tamily of civiliz ed nations. But if motives of duty wore not sufficient to re strain us from engaging jn such lawless enterpri ses, our evident interest ought to dtcate this poli cy. Those expeditions ara the most effectual mode of retarding American progress; although to promote this is the avowed object of tho leaders and contributors in suclt undertakings. It is be youd question tbe destiny of our raco to spread themselves over the continent of North America, aud this at no distau: dry should events be per mitted to take their natural course. The tide of emigrants will now to the South, aud nothing can eventually arrest its progress, lfpremittcd to go there peacefully, Central America will soon con tain au American population, which will couter blessings and benefits as well upon the natives as their respective governments. Liberty, under the restraint of law, will preserve domestic peace; whilst the different transit routs across the isth mus iu which we are au deeply interested will have I assured protection. Nothing has retarded this hap py condition of affairs so much as the unlawful expeditious wliich have been . fitted out in the United States to make war upon the Central Amer ican States. Had one-half of the number of Anierieau eitisens who have miserably perished iu the first disastrous expedition of Gen Walker, settled in Nicaragua as peaceful emigrants, the object which we all desire would ere this nave been, in a great degree, accomplished, These expeditions have eaused the people of the Central American States to regard us with dread and suspicion. It is our true policy to remove this apprehension, and to convince them that we intend to do them good and not evil. W6 desired, as the leading power on this contiueut, to open, and if need be, to protect every transit route across the. Isthmus, not only for our own benefit, but that of the world, and thus open a free access to Central America, and through it to onr Pacific possessions. This policy was commenced und -r favorable suspices, when the expedition, under command of Geu-. ral Walker, escaped from our territories and proceeded to 1’unta Arenas. Should another expedition of a similar character again evade tho vigilance of our officers and proceed to Nicuragua, this would be fatal, at least for a season, to the policy of American progress. The truth is, that uo Administration cau successfully conduct the foreign affairs of the country iu Cemal Amer ica, or any where else, if it is to be interfered with at every step by lawless military exepitions, set on foot in the United States. JAMES BUCHANAN. Proclamation of Koveraor (uatming. Great River Co , near Fort Bridger, ) Utah Territory, Nov. 25, 1357. ) To the people of Utah Territory: On the 11th of July, 1657 the President appoin ted me to preside over the Executive Department of this Territory. I arrived at this point on tbe 17th of this month, and shall probably be detained some time in consequence of tbe loss of auimals duriug I the recent snow storms. I will proceed at this point to make the preliminary arrangement for the temporary organization of the territorial government. Many treasonable acts ot violence having recent ly beeu coinmited by lawless individuals supposed to have been countenanced by the late Executive, such persons are in a stato of rebellion. Proceed ings will be instituted against them in a court organized by Chief Justice Eckels, held in this county, which will supersede the necessity of ap pointing a military commission for the trial of such offenders. It is my duty to enforce uncondi tional obedience to tbe Constitution, to the organ ic laws of this Territory, aud to all other laws of Congress applicable to you. To enable me to effect this object, I will iu the event ofresistance rely upon a posse ctnnilatus of the well-disposed portion of the inhabitants of this Territory, and will only resort to a military posse in case of ne cessity. I trust that this necessity will not oc cur. I come among you with no prejudices or enmi ties, aud by the exercise of a just and firm niinis- tratiou, I hope to commend your confidence. Freedom of conscience and the use of your own peculiar mode of serving God, are sacred rights guarantied by the Constitution, with which it is not the province ot the Government or the dispo sition of its representative iu this Territory to in terfere. In virtue of my authority as Connnander-in Chief of tho Militia of this Territory, I hereby command all armed parties of individuals, by whom soever organized, to disband, and return to their respective homes. The penalty of disobedience to this command will subject tlio offenders to tho punishment duo to traitors. A. CUMMING. Governor of Utah Territory. Green River Co., Near Fort Bridger, U. T., \ Nov. 21,1657. ) On the 11th of July. 1857, I was appointed bythe President to be Governor of this Territory. Since my arrival within the limits of the Territory, I regret to find that many acts of violence have been com mitted on the high ways, in the destruction and robbery of property belonging to the United States. These acts, which indicate that tho territory is in a state of rebellion, arc ascribed, how truly I do not know, to yourself. A proclamation purport- ting to have been issued from you, and passes sigued by your authority, found upon the person of Joseph Taylor have been submitted to my inspec tion. The matter contained in these papers author izes and commands violent and treasonable acts tending to the disruption of tbe peace of the Territory, and wliich subject their authors to tho penalties accorded to traitors. If these papers refered to be not authentic I trust you will promptly disowue them. I herewith enclose a copy of my proclamation to to the people of Utah.

The asteroid discoverd at the National Observatory on the 4th of October last, by Mr. Ferguson, has we under stand, been called Virginia. The name, though not in perfect conformity with the canon previ ously adopted in respect to these bodies, which was to designate them after Dete Minores of the Mythology, has, nevertheless, been allowed and adopted by the astronomers ;of other countries. Indeed, after having christened, or rather paganed, one of them Victoria and another Eugenie, it would have been uncharitable to have objected to this uaiiK?, celebrated in ancient and modern song and story, aud also one of the appellatives of the most celebrated of English Queens- This asteroid was also discoverd on the l'ffh of October, (fifteen days alter its discovery here,) by Dr. Luther, of Dusseldorf. It is the fiftieth of the group between Mars and J upiter, of which eight have beeu discovered during the past year. Of those already known, Euphrosyne (discovered by Mr. Fergeson, in 1654) has the largest orbit, and Flora the least; the semi-axis being respec tively 3.156 and 2-201 in units of the vary mean radius of the Earth’s orbit Tlierir diameters from 49.4 to 4.4 German miles Vesta beiug tho largest and Atalanta the least. It is possible that these planetary boulders may extend beyond the orbit of Jupiter, in which case they would not be discoverable with the optical power now applicable to this purpose. If conned to the firing in which they have hitherto been found, there may be from three to five hundred of them; so that the females of one mythology will not fur nish a directory sufficiently copious to designate them, and astronomers will have to come down among the river-goddesses and saints. We may then expect to have St, Agatha, St. Bridget, and St. Cunt’gonda in the some starry cotillon with Juno, Ceres, Pallas, and Circe. The French astronomers, apprehending a scar city of good names, have begun to call their an nexations of this class after the principal cities of France; so we have Paris and Marseilles apotheo- sised, under the names of Lutetia and Massalia. An English discoverer has called his planet Isis; though, whether after the river at Oxford, or the Egyptian divinity, does not appear. The fifty already discovered have been found by fourteen diff erent discoverers. Death of A gust in S. Wingfield.
