Charge of Hon. I. Campbell In the Walker
Case .
United States Circuit Court.—
Judge Campbell and Ale Cal eh.— 1 li is
court on opening yesterday was soon tilled
to overflowing with a crowd eager to hear
the ease of Gen. Wm. Walker, Col. Frank
Anderson and others, charged with violat
ing the neutrality laws of the United
States, in having, on the 10th November
last, fitted out an armed expedition to
invade the territory of Nicaragua and Costa
liiea, with which the United States is at
peace. The following are the names of
the jurors finally selected: A Laforest, J.
W. Carroll, W. T. Hepp, M. O. H. Norton,
A. B. James, W. G. Betterton, J. J.
Person, II. L. Goodrich, A. Q Kennett,
R. B. Post, H. Bidwell, J. E. Vosc. The
entire pannel was exhausted, and the num
ber of challenges allowed to tiie prosecu
tion had been all exercised .before a jury
could be obtained.
Judge Campbell then proceeded to de
liver his charge to the Grand Jury, as
follows.
Judge Campbbll’sCharge.
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury: It is a
portion of the duty of this court, upon the another to enlist as a soldier, marine, or
cmpannelling of a grand jury, to instruct seaman, or to go beyond the United States

The Constitution of the United States j, our ports, fit out or arm, or attempt or
declares “That no person shall be held to f procure, or be concerned in the fitting,
' furnishing, arming of any ship or vessel
with the intent that she should be employ
ed to cruise or commit hostilities upon a
power or people with whom the United
States are at peace. Therefore the con
tracts by which a citizen or inhabitant
within the United States is obliged to
enter into a foreign service which involves
him in the commission of acts of hostility
against a friendly power, are not merely
void as civil contracts, but they involve
both parties in the guilt of violating the
Neutrality haws, and subject them to fine
and imprisonment.
But the act does not stop at the prohibi
tion of enlistsments within the United
States, nor of the armamentof vessels here
to he employed to carry on hostilities, but
it prohibits the beginning here of every
military expedition or enterprise; or the
setting of one on foot, or the collection or
preparation of the means necessary to
carry on one front the United States
against a friendly power or people. Wc
have said that the Neutrality Laws do not
provide a punishment for every violation
of neutral obligations. Thus thev have
j.iothtr Male. The act denounces such , ten was begun by any airangeiiic:
cases of misconduct on the part of the citi- the men within the United States, or by’
zeus and inhabitants of the United States
only as might jeopard the pacific relations
of the United States, or interfere with the
administration of their foreign affairs. A
large portion of its provisions were first
adopted in 1794, during the administration
of Washington. In the succeeding admin
istration that statute was extended, and
became a part of the permanent law of the
country. In 1^17 and 1818, upon the
application of Presidents Madison and Mon
roe, the acts were revised, enlarged, and
reenacted , and have remained as a part of
the law of the land from that time to the
present moment. I know of no act upon
the statute bonk that comes recommended
by a more venerable sanction. Its design
is magnanimous and honorable. It in
effect declares that justice is the standing
policy’ of the United States; and it in
capacitates the functionaries of the govern
ment, as well as the citizen, under the
influence of any transient impulse, or
temporary’ expediency to adopt any other
law than that of justice in our intercourse
with belligerent nations, or in respect of
friendly’ states.
Its provisions are carefully arranged and
adjusted to protect foreign nations, colonies,
states, and peoples from hostilities men
aced or carried on from the territories or
jurisdiction of the United States, either
under the flag of another nation, or by the
citizens or inhabitants of the United
States, for their own profit or to gratify
their own appetites or ambition.
No citizen of the United States, within
its territory or jurisdiction, can accept and
exercise a commission, or enlist as a sol
dier. marine or a seaman; or engage
answer for a capital or otherwise infamous
crime, unless on a presentment or indict-
memt ofthe grand jury', except in cases
arising in the land or naval forces, or in the
militia, when in actual service in time of
war or public danger,” nor shall any “be
deprived of life, liberty or property without
due course of law.” These clauses of the
constitution explain the origin of your body
as a part ofthe judicial establishment of
the United States, and the magnitude of
the functions you perform in its administra
tion.
The constitution endows Congress with
the power to define the acts which shall be
crimes against the United States under
their Constitution, and to affix tiicir ap
propriate punishment, as a penalty for their
commission: and thus to secure the regular
and efficient administration of their laws.
That administration is concerned with all
those interests which relate, to the exis
tence and preservation of the Constitution
ofthe Union, with all the relations and
intercourse which are maintained or car
ried on with foreign nations, whether of
peace or of war; with their commerce, their
preparations made there, then the act of
Congress has been violated by all who are
members of the expedition and all who in
the United States have knowingly and
wilfully contributed to its preparations
We shall now pass to the consideration

Vi oman lo tier Parents In .\«r Jersey.
To.- following letter from a Mormon woman in
Salt Lake City, addressed to her parents in Now
Jersey, has been handed us for publication. It
was written on the eve of departure from Sait
Lake City for the Southern settlements, and is cu
riously descriptive of the writer's unbounded faith
in Monnonisin aud her natural regrets at leaving
her home:
Great Salt Lake City, May, 1858.
My Dear Father and Mother: 1 feel that 1 must
write you another letter before I leave my home,
as I do not know when or where 1 may get anoth
er opportunity of writing to you. I suppose that
you liave heard by this time, through your papers,
that we are leaving cur beautiful valley—logo,
we know not whither.
\\ hen first my beloved husband announced to
me that it was decided that wc should leave, I
felt a pang at my heart. I looked out of my little
dower garden, the work of our own bauds, aud
then around rue, inside my little cottage, on the
tew little comforts which we had ac-cumulr.tt d
through hard labor; then I saunder.d into the
little room which I had prepared for your recep
tion this season. I must abandon them all, aud
the hope of meeting father and mother and the
rest of the family. And last, hut not least, I look
ed upon our little ones, aud my grief kuew no
bounds. In my rebellious heart i felt to say, I
cannot expose my little ones to the trials of a wan
dering life, and alt, horror! perhaps tiie scalping-
knife of the Indians, for we know that the soldiers
are bribing them. I fancy I can hear you both
say, “Is not Mormonism worth all these sacrilices,
and even our lives'” Yes, my d> ar father and
mother it is. But you also know how very fond
of home I am, and my love for my husband and
chiidien knows no bounds ; and I felt that to see
those dear ones suffering again, as 1 did before
we Had a home, was more than my strength could
bear; but all this was the struggle of a few hours
only When I began to reflect upon my conduct,
I felt truly ashamed of my weakness, llow often
hail I, in bearing my testimony, said that I was
willing to make any sacrifice fur the work of the
Lord, and when He was going to put me to the
test, “should I turn like a coward aud say, “I can
not do it!” And then my rebellious heart would
turn again and say, “Is it not your own house and
laud! did you not toil hard enough to get it! did
you not sell all your trinklets, clothing—every
thing, in fact, that you possessed, to get the adobes
to build it aud why should you give it up to a
band of robbers ; or, in other words, to President
Buchanan's t roops, which are the same?"
1’ it then I struggled and conquered. I then
made up my mind if I had to die it should be in
the path of duty; and when my husband returned
in the evening, I could talk calmly to him of prepar
ations forour departure. I next thought that as I was
now so strong, it was my duty to go and see Ellen
and James; but what was my surprise, ou reach
ing their house, to find them all ready to start, and
when I asked Ellen if she did not feel a liltle sad
at leaving her home, (for you know that she bad
one of the most comfortable in the valley.) she
said, with a smile, “These things are not ours ;
they are the Lord’s, and if he requires tne to ieave
them, I am ready.” I am sure you will think her
a most noble woman, as I do; * * *
Where we were going I know not; hut this I do
know, that if it were not for our own ultimate
good, we should not bo permitted to leave these
valleys.
Go where you will yon will see the Saints ma
king cheerful preparations for their departure, and
not a word of comfort on their lips for their neigh
bors ; notwithstanding which, a keen observer
might perceive a tear glistening in the eye of some
of the stoutest among us. We have enough to
eat, and for that we are thankful. Our clothing is
nearly all worn out, and it is not possible to buy
any more here, If we had heeded the counsel of
Brother Brigham a littie sooner, we should now-
have had an abundance of clothing; but we are
like children ; we have to learn by experience. I

The United Stales in assuming their
rank among nations became subject to tbe

and to secure tbe advantages of commerce
and the blessings of peaceful and profita

have made treaties of amity, pledging their
citizens to tbe observance of tbe obliga
tion to peace and amity they contain.
These treaties have the form oflaw and
bind the public faitli. They affect the
individual conscience as firmly as an act
of Congress—or an act of the State Legis
lature passed in conformity with the con
stitution, and pledging the public faith.
The treaty is made in the name of all. and
in behalf of all, by tbe constitutional
authority, and no citizen can deny or
evade its stipulations, or break tbe pledges
it contains. The Government of the U nion
is alone invested with the power to repeal
a treaty or to dissolve the obligation of its
citizens to maintain its conveuants invio
late; and the government itself would not
be sustained in doing so except upon lawful
considerations, involving no breach of tbe
national faith.
It cannot encourage any of its citizens
to disregard tbe conditions of a treaty, or
connive or wink at violations of tbe spirit
of the treaty while it pretends to maintain

The Neutrality laws of the United States
are designed to compel their citizens and
others, who enjoy their protection or hospi
tality, to observe the law of nations.
The act of lsl8, contains, in six sec
tions, the restrictions which the Uni
ted States have imposed, and obedience to
which they have secured by tbe enact
ment of such penalties as were thought to
be adequate for that object. -The act does
not include all tbe obligations which public
law requires the citizens of one state to
observe to the citizens aud govenneut of
liire, command, counsel, or conspiracy, and
be who by showing and express liking,
approbation or assent to an illegal enter
prise does aid and abet a party to com
mit it.” We quote tbe language ofthe act
of 1 SIS to exhibit its broad and compre
hensive import and the sternness of its
rebuke to all the transactions we have allu
ded to.
“If any person shall, within the territory
or jurisdiction of the United States begin
or set on foot, or provide or prepare tlic
means for any military expedition or enter
prise, to he carried on thence against the
territory or dominions of any state, colony,
district or people with whom the United
States are at peace; every person so offen
ding shall be deemed guilty o( a high mis
demeanor.”
The terms of this act do not require that
the expedition or enter],rise shall be com
pleted, or that it should ever leave the
United States. The language is, ifanv
person shall ‘'begin’' or “set on foot.” It
does not require that all its arrangements
shall be perfect and that it shall be in a
condition to leave the United States. The
act stigmatizes as unlawful the prepara
tions or provisions of the moans to carry on
the expedition or enterprise. Thus,
whether the.execution of the “enterprise”
or the organization of the expedition is
“begun” or “set on foot” by the enlistment
of recruits or the collection of arms and
other munitions of war, or transports, the
result is the same. If the object of such
preparations is to equip or to fit out an
expedition from the United States to carry
on hostilities against a friendly state, the
acts done in furtherance of that object are
illegal, and subject the offender to prosecu
tion. Nor is it necessary that the expedi
tion should have been exhibited in tbe
United States in martial array, or under
military organization and discipline. If
the members composing the expedition
were to leave as passengers on merchant or
passenger vessels, without arms or equip
ments, to meet upon some coast foreign to
the United States, there to be equipped
and to be employed against a friendly
power, that would fall within the prohibi
tion of the statute.
Whether the expedition is an illegal
military expedition, does not depend upon
its employment in the United States but
its ultimate destijiatiou and object.
If its ultimate destination is a foreign
state at peace with the United States, and
its object hostile to the government or
people of that state, or in opposition to
their institutions and laws, and the expedi-
my appearance* does not annoy nte much. I still
have in my possession an article for daily wear,
which once bore the appellation of “a dress,” but
so transformed is it that it would be difficult for a
casual observer to decide which was tbe original
piece. My husband also wears a coat of
many colors. As for buying shoes auj stockings
they arc quite out of tbe question. We should

Description of the Towns of Kali.
Salt Lake City contains al out a third
f the population of the Territory, and has
a great many fine and sonic elegant build
ings, the principal of which are tlicTab-
nacle, where all religious meetings are
held; the Council House, Endowment
House, the Temple, (now in course ol
erection,) Court House, Young’s two man
sions, nineteen public school-houses, to
gether with the costly houses erected for
the, elders.
The next settlement north is called
Sessions, eight miles from Salt Lake City,
and contains several line houses. It is
situated on the main road; the houses are
not compactly built, but extended nearly
five miles. The settlement contains tbe
richest lands in the Territory.
Farmington city comes next, a very-
pretty little town, tbe country seat of
David county. It contains about 1,000
inhabitants.
Fight miles north is Keyvillc, contain
ing about the same number of inhabitants
—here is some excellent arable land, and
a.fine slock range.
Weber river is about eight miles further
north. On it have been built two forts,
called East and West Weber forts con
taining about live hundred inhabitants
each* They are very pleasntly situated.
Ogden City, one of the principle cities
of the Territory, is about three miles from
W cber. It has many costly buildings.
North of Ogden City, about two miles,
is a large wellbuilt fort called Brigham’s
Fort, lit lias about 7,000 inhabitants.
Nor beast of this, three miles, is Ogden
Hole—a very pleasant locality, surroun
ded on all sides by mountains, with the
exception of the entrance. It contains
about five hundred inhabitants.
North of the “Hole,” twelve miles, is
a well-located fort, called Willow Creek
Fort. In this vicinity there is fine agri
cultural land, and the heaviest crop of
wheat in the Territory is raised here.
Five miles north is Box Elder, or Brig
ham’s city —being about eight miles south
of Bear river. This city is very hand
somely situated. It is built upon a plain,
aaout two hundred feet above the level of
Bear river. It is inhabited principally
by Danes and Welsh, whose houses ex
hibit considerable skill in their construc
tion and taste in arrangement.
On Bear river there are two small set-
lements, and further north two others.—
These are in Cache and Malad valley,
where the stoc k belonging to the “church”
generally were kept-
All these cities and forts are to be laid
in ashes at the command of the church,
and the poor people have given them
selves to the work of destruction with all
tlic confidence and firmness of faith which
ever cliarecterize religious fautacism.

Lord Malmesbury made bis speech in the

before he wrote the despatch to Lord Napi

was as follows.
“Department of State. )
“Washington, May 12, 1S58. )
“Sir—The accompanying papers, cop
ies, ofthe originals, which have been just
received, will make known to you another
outrage committed against the rights ofthe
United States by a British armed vessel,
which calls for the immediate attention of
the British Government. I am pursua-
ded that if the occurences took place as
they arc stated, the conduct of the British
officer will be disavowed and condemned.
I beg you would communicate to Lord
Malemesbury the earnest desire of the
President tbattbis practice, which seems
to become more prevalent, of detaining
and searching American vessels, be dis
continued, and that tbe most peremptory
orders for that purpose should be given
and enforced. Such a measure is called
for by important considerations which will
readily occur to you. While this govern
ment is determined to use all proper exer
tions for tbe suppression ofthe slave trade
it is not less desirous that the just immuni
ty of the vessels of the United States upon
the ocean should be pi'cserved. "What
ever may have been the true objects of
the voyage of tbe Cortes, if she bad pa
pers showing her American character she
was subject neither to search nor capture

facts reported will be fully investigated
by order of the British government, and
proper measures taken to prevent the
recurrence of a similar act hereafter.

Later and stronger instructions had also

“It is to that point I liave directed the
attention ofthe government ofthe United

there has not been any great difference of

Rec. Dr. Finely.—At the late conven
tion of the Alabama Presbytery held in
llayneville, Lowndes county, the commit
tee appointed to report as to death in the
ministry of the Presbytery, of late, made
tbe following as to the Rev. Dr. Finley,
formerly pastor of tbe Presbyterian
clmrcli in this city, whose death was chron
icled some time ago: [Mail]
Rev. David Finley departed this life tho
2d of January last, near Nashville, in the
43d year of his age.
The deceased was a native of Wilkes
county, Ga. lie graduated with distinc
tion in the University of that State, pur
sued his theological studies in the Semi
nary at Columbia, was licensed by the
Presbytery of Hopewell in 1S3S, came to
Alabama in 1S10—was ordained tbe same
year in the town of Marion, by the Pres
bytery of South Alabama.
Having received a call to become Pas
tor of tbe Montgomery church, be was
duly installed, and remained in that charge
until May, 1S56, when bis failing health
compelled liim to resign. The hope was
entertained by’ his numerous friends and
sympathizing people, that a relaxation of
effort would restore his wasted energies.
But all our hopes were dashed, when the
intelligence reached us, the next Decem
ber, that in consequence of tbe complete
prostration of bis nervous system, bis
reason bad been dethroned, and the fire of
that once brilliant intellect was extinguish
ed. He was removed to the Lunatic
Asylum near Nashville, where he remain
ed until his death.
To say his was a brilliant intellect, is
but to reiterate tbe opinion of all who
knew him. Few men enjoj’ed a more
euviable reputation as a man, as a Chris
tian, or as a minister. As a man, he was
characterized by unflinching adherence
to truth and duty; as a Christian he was
exemplary—his views thorough and evan
gelical; as a minister he was laborious,
faithful, and discreet; and as a preacher
lie had few equals in style, manner or
matter. Who that lias ever beard him
will ever forget those tones rich, varied,
sonorous and solemn, with which he was
wont to utter the most startling and spirit-
stirring truth! But he has gone. No more
shall we have his wise counsels as a Pres
byter—r.o more shall we hear bis voice in
praise and prayer in tbe sanctuary below,
lie has gone to unite in that deep thanksgiv
ing song of tbe General Assembly, and
church of the first-born on high. To the
care of the covenant-keeping God wc
commended his bereaved family.
AJnstmcnt of the Difficulty with Great Britain.
We have intelligence from Washington
which warrants us in announcing the defi
nitive settlement of the “right of search”
controversy with Great Britain.
The .adjustment is effected on the basis
of General Cass’ dispatch, and is alto
gether satisfactory to the American Gov
ernment. The country may well be
felicitated on this disposition of a vexatious
dispute. Tbe only deplorable circum
stance about the affair was the necessary
expediture of pugnacious patriotism which
we depreciated iu the crisis ofthe contro
versy.
Can't Please Old Maids.—The editor
of a country paper, having been taken to
task by a female correspondent for notic
ing Dr. Hall’s receipt to prevent ladies
from taking cold, viz: “to keep tbe mouth
shut’/—bits back as follows:
“We never could make ourselves popu
lar with old maids. Do what we would
—squeeze ’em behind the door, which
they dearly love—flatter ’em on the sofa
—dance with ’em at parties— take ’em to
sleigh rides, and treat ’em to ice cream,
oysters, ‘kisses’—in short attend ever so
gallant to all their wants save making
them a direct offer—and the moment our
back was turned they would turn to and
show their teeth, (false ones, of course.)
Well, hope deferred maketh the heart
sick, and we can’t blame ’em.’,
