Baying a New Stove.
A good one is told of a newly married couple
who started housekeeping a short time since,
which we think, so long as we do not tell the
names of the parties, will bear "telling again.”
Among other articles of house-hold furniture
p irt h'.tscd by the new housekeepers, the most
necessary of course was a new cooking stove.
It was pr cured at one of our first class estab
lishments, and, if we may believe the gentle
manly clerk who officiated on the occasion, it
was warranted to be one the most complete
articles of th ? kind ever invented. Home was
the new stove sent, and properly put up by
an employee of the establishment. After get
ting everything necessary to enter on the Ju
tes of house-keepings the attention of the
e inple was first directed t > a trial of the new
article. A tire was accordingly started by the
mistress of the home the morning foil .wing
Imr entry on her responsible duties, when,
g-eatly t > her surprise and n it a little to the
chagrin of her "liege lord.” the flames be
came extinguished and the room filled with
smoke. What could be the reason that the
stove did not draw neither could divine,
and after looking in the stove, around the
stove and up the chimney, "and being put to
their wits” to ascertain where the difficulty
existed, it was mutually agreed that they had
been "sold” mid completely taken in by th<
stove dealer.
With indignation flashing in his eyes, the
purchaser forthwith Marled for the stove keep
e-‘s e.cab'.i Jim mi, where be relate I the i.ia
l.ilitv of himself and wile to use the tove, ami
demanded that his money should be immedi

: : 1 that nol -s the chimney was stuffed up.
there was no reason under the sun why it
should hot perform all the offices for which it
was c instructed. The purchaser was there

price f the stove in case it did not suit, but he

by the former. The dealer proposed to send

liberal offer of the former'.') while bin eyes
glistened with satisfaction at the pno.spect ol

thing wus in readiness for cooking either asii
loin steak or small sized pig, greatly to tin
consternation of the happy pair. W hen tin
man sent to examine the stove had returned t<
the establishment, the dealer made inquiry a
to the condition in which he found the afore
m ntioiie 1 article. The answer which set tin
establishment in a roar—wo give us it was ut

L:gal Witticisms.
A celebrated lawyer in Missouri being once
opposed 11 Mr. S —, lute member of Con
gress, he remarked as follows to the jury upon
a disagreement between them: “ Here nr>
brother S — and I differ. Now, this i
very natural. Men seldom see things in the
snnie light, and they may disagree in opinion
upon the simplest principles of the law, ami
chat very honestly ; while, at the same time,
neither can see any earthly reason why they
-hmild. And this is merely because they look
at ditfercnt sides of the subject and do not
view it in all its bearings. Suppose, for illus
tration. a man should come in here and boldly
-smt that my brother S ’s bead (here

BATTLE WITH THE INDIANS.
The fiillou ing official account of th* battle
with th* Indians in Utah, from Lieut. Gay, ol
this city, under w hose command the affair was
conducted, w ill be read with interest by his
friends here.
Box Ei.mb. U. T., August 13th, 1859
Sib; 1 have the honor to re|a.rt that, having
arrived yesterday » itliin six mi.es of this place
I went into camp, aud two hours afterwards
hud reliable information that a large body of
Indians were probably encamped .somewhere
in the kanyon leading from this valley to Cacln
Valley. I was informed, at the same time,
that within five or six days past past, thev
hud stolen a number of animals from this and
oilier adjoining settlements; and that the*
were the same p..r' who had murdered and
i il bed au emig unt tiain on Sublett's Cut off.
1 immediately rm-ulvcd t > attack them. Al
10 o’clock, 1. M.. I broke up camp and moved
q lietly to this viliiq-o. Here 1 left my wagons
ft h a guard, an 1 proceeded with a command
of forty-two men. taking with me four pack
mules with four days rations in order to be
prepared, if necessary, to pursue them in th<
mountains. By 2 A. '1 . I had sverything pre
pared for the march, and having procured a
guide who professed to knew the Indian en
campment, entered the kanyon. After a rap
id march of two hours, the encampment was
, indicated by a number .f ponies graxing, and
: in a moment alterwards by the Indians jump
i ing up from their beds under the bustles, and
running up the m un'ain sides, which here
were covered with undergrowth. I immedi
ately formed my men and charged upon the
main body of them ; in the charge several of
the enemy were killed and wounded.
They then scattered and took positions be
hind rocks, &c. Here they were charged and
driven up precipices beyond the reach of men
on horses. I then dismounted my men and
kept up a tire for at least an hour and a half,
which for an hour was briskly returned by the
enemy, but he gradually ceased to fire. The
precipituous nature of the ground rendering ii
impossible to pursue him, 1 drove i ff his horses
and returned to this place. Hie attack com
menced just before the dawn and continued
until after sunrise.
1 am satisfied that the encampment was se
lected with a view to defence, and for this pur
pose thev could n t Lave found a more admi
rable place in the whole Wahsatch Range ot
mountains. (It is known as the Devil’s Gate
Kanyon.) As soon as the Indians were dis
covered my Mormon guide ‘slid’’ quietly from
ilia horse, and was seen no more, until on my
return near this town 1 overhauled him. He
was unable to give any satisfactory reason foi
i.is desertion. 1 have since learned that he
came into town during tho action, and report
ed "that we never woqld get out of that place.”
The horse he rode was one I hgd fprnishcd
him, and strange to ray was found with an In
dian on bis back : the latter was shot and the
liorse taken. If my guide had desired to lead
me into a fatal ambuscade, be could not have
taken me to a spot Leiter adapted for the pur
poe.
The guide and many others estimated the
Indian force at from 150 to 200 warriors. The
number killed was about twenty as near as w<‘
■an calculate. I had no men killed, but four
icverely, though probably not mortally, and
two slightly wounded. Niue of my horses
were wounded.
The number of horses taken was twenty,
nearly half being American horses.
It is a source of great satisfaction to me to
know that one of the horses captured proved to
be one which the Indians had taken from the
ruin op Sublett's Cut off, at the time of the
massacre of Julv. J’robpbly more belonging
tn the same train would have been captured,
hud not the Indian animals stiimpedcd during
the action, which could not be prevented, ow
ing to the small guard which c uid be spared
from the company for the purpose of securing
property.
I am much indebted to Lieut. Ryan, for his
services on this occasion, which were perform
ed with a masterly intrepidity and eooiuess du
ring the whole action.
Assistant Surgeon J. Moore receives the
heartfelt thanks of myself, and the soldiers un
ter my command, for his immediate and kind
mentions to the wounded on the field during
he action, and his continual personal attend
nice since.
The company behaved so nobly on this oc
casion, 1 have the honor to refer the General
Commanding to the list of Wounded accompa
nying the report.
It is rumored to-day that 200 Banr.aek In
linns arrived iu Cnche Valley yesterday.—
I’licse, with the number of Indians already
there, will probaldy ba about 50(1. A largo emi
gration is near a point on Bear River twenty
miles from this (Cache) \ alley. I shall wait
here long enough to care for my wounded and
recruit my horses, when I shall proceed to
Bear River in order to prevent the Indian
from interfering with emigration.
Very respectfully.
Your obedient servant,
E. GAY, 2d Lieut., Company G,
2d Dragoons, Commanding.

Asst. Adjt. Gen’l Dep’t of Utah.
A Walk on the Water.
At Toronto, C. W. a Mr. Hickok, by the aid
of some apparatus, invented by himself, walk
ed on the surface of the river for half an hour,
without fatigue. The Globe says:
The apparatus used by Mr. Hickok is the
first he has made, so that, as in all new-tilings,
there is room fur improvement. The fact is
■stablished that a man may, with this inven
ion, walk upon the water, and the • is noth
r.g to indicate that the feat is attended with
my peculiar interest. It appears quite as
easy as walking on snow shoes, the motion
>f which it quite resembles. Anybody can do
it. It may be, that liefore long the bay will
become a favorite place of resort, where our
•i izens will, upon a summer evening, seek
refuge from the heat and dust - f the city,
unid the unpolluted breezes of the lake; or
that thl! shining path marked out upon tho
waters, by the beams of the silver tnoon, will
become a fa.-hicnable promenade.

“Institutions’”
In this country there are rotue branches of
business which have become so interwoven
with the necessities of life that they are recog
nized ns “institutions,’’ which could not be
dispensed with. TLe newspaper j ress Las
become au institution; so hare railroads, —
steam and horse.—and. in cities, eating houses
and omnibu-e«. People have been used to
them, and without them life would bednlland
insipid enough. But the institution we pro
pose to speak ot now is the iustitution known
as the Express, and it is fully as important a
nny other institution, particulatly the Harndet
Express. Very few of our readers, except
those engaged in mercantile pursuits, have any
idea of the enormous amount of business con
ducted by tvis, the oldest and best Express
company in the world. What monstrous piles
of valuable packages it Collects in its tastily
painted carria, e-and delivers, almost on the
wings of the wind, from center to circumfer
ence of our vast national domain 1 What
" piles” of precious metal it brings from tin
golden shores of the Pacific! We might oc
cupy a column and yet not detail half tin
wonder* accomplished by the modern Express,
but it is needless. Suffice it to say, and we
say it from actual experience that Hamden’s
Express is the Express,—its wagons are pretti
er, lighter, and more capacious; its agents
smarter, more faithful and polite than can be
shown by any similar establishment in exis
tence. Its messengers are fleeter, their ad
dress neater, and their terms cheaper than any
of their competitors.
Colonel Powers, the agent in this city, is
obliging, prompt, faithful, and we teel safe in
saying that all business transacted through
him wih be entirely satisfactory. Such, at

Militia of the United States.
The Secretary of War lias, iu accordance
with the law, made an abstract report of the
j returns of the i.ilitiaof the several States.—
New Yolk heads the list, with a “standing
army” of three hundred anti fifty thousand:
California has three hundred and seven thous
iu:d seven hundred and th’uty ; Illinois two
liand,\q q,.i’i L -y thousand four hundred and
twenty ; Ohio, one hundred and seventy six
thousand four hundred *and fifty five; Penn
sylvania, one hundred and sixty thousand
Mass i< linsetts, one hnndfed and* £fty-eigh>
thousand eight hundred and forty nine. Vir
ginia, one hundred and fifty thousand. Tin
figures show a total in the United States gnd
Territories of two millip.p stveu t«ui;Jrvd and
sixty-six ttiousuna seven hundred and twenty
six; of which two million seven hundred
thousand are infantry ; twenty thousand cav
alry ; twelve thousand artillery, ami thirty
tour thousand rifleti.cn.
It has been said that no nation has so large
and effective an army in case <_( used, and
tlint ;t is pat rii ahir useless or aggressive war.
but formidable for defensive purposes. The
difficulty would be in concentrating on any
point assailed as large a portion of this force
,n <w short a period of time as to render il
effective. One of lhe elements of efficient
modern warfare is, besides the fa(4llty o
bringing into tl ( u Lsm larye and dlsoipliued
force*, that of transporting them rapidly to
any puin* assa.led or to bea-sailed. Louis Na
poleon showed in his late Ita ian campaign the
completeness of his arrangements in this re
spect. The French papers boast that he can
throw fifty or sixty thousand men on any such
point in t ie shortest cp;p.viie w ble space o
timu. The ditucu ty, from the scat.ered con
dition of our militia force, would be its con
centratioii in sufficient numbers, to repel at
nick on our widely seperated territory. Our
railroads are still in that state of immaturity
as a means of facile transportation of men and
materials of warfare, which woe,ld subject us
to great loss ir, case a u are assailed on any of
tlsa exposed points of that territory. The
thorough intersection of the laud with these
Iron ways I* more than a commercial want —
they uro a military necessity.

I.ntsuestino Fact,.—AccunipHuying the
Comptroller General'* Report, the publication
of which we commence tlii- inurniou, i* a table
showing the number of slaves in the State o'
Georgia, their aggregate, and their average
value, for the years 1858 nal 1859. which con
tains some fact* of interest. The total number
of slaves in 1858 was 432,121. and in 1859,
413,364 —shoving an increase for the year ol
11,240. The average value of slaves in 1858
wa55526,39, and in 1859 $612 63—an increase
in. average value of SB6 24.
In 1858 Burke county contained the largest
number of slaves, 12,523, and Chatham the
next largest, 11.997; but in 1859 Chatham
akes the lead with 12,235—showing an in
•rease of 238, while Burke numbers but 11,-
■iOo—a decre se of 718.
The counties next in order with their total
number of slaves in 1858 and 1859, are as fol
lows : •
Houston, in 1858, 10,526 ;in 1859, 10,969
Monroe, 0,712; 9,747
I'roup, 9,519; 9.774
Meriwether, 8,606; 8,561
Greene, 8,300; 8.251
Columbia, 8.097; 8.288
•albot, 7.953; 8,251
Wilkes, 7,806 ; 7,806
Morgan, 7,781 ; 6,878
Stewart, 7,493; 7,829
Oglethorpe, 7,339; 7.302
Harris, 7,392; 7,600
Richmond, 7.302; 7,500
Putnam, 7,016; 7,367
It will be seen that of the above counties
there is a falling off in Meriwether, Greene.
Morgan and Oglethorpe, all old counties in
Middle Georgia. But while the number of
slaves has decreased, the aggregate value of
-lave property has very considerably increas
'd. For instance: Morgan shows an decrease
f 903 in the number of slaves, w hile the ag
rregat ■ value of slaves remaining is increased
m the entire number in 1858, $602,127.
Towns containing the smallest number of
-laves, 104, valued at $64,547. The counties
containing the next smallest in numbers are
the following; Colquitt 106; Union 126;
Pierce 137; Fannin 141; Gilmer 160; Ilarral
-on 211 ; While 240; Rabun 349; Irwin, 253;
Ware 254 ; Effingham 273.
The aggregate value of slaves in 1858 was
$227,468,927, and in 1859 $271,620,405. Thus
it will be seen that while the increase in the
number of slaves is 11,240, the increased value
is $44,151,478.

Direct Trade—Cotton Planters’
CONVENTION.
In this issue we insert the card of Howell
Cobb, President of the Cotton Planters’ Con
vention of the Stale of Georgia, in w Inch he
calls a meeting of the Convention to assemble
in the city of Macon on Wednesday, the 16th
lay of November next. It is proper that ev
ery county in the State should be represented,
is business of importance touching the inter
est of the planters of Georgia will come before
the Convention. The important subject of
"Direct Trape, - ’ wlpyh Ims been discussed
for several years past, will be brought promi
nently before that body, with a view to adopt
some feasible means by which this trade may
be speedily and firmly established. Once es
tablish this trade, and the planters of Georgia
will have superior and independent advauta
ires over the present exorbitant burthens of
trade.
The project now going on in Belgium to es
tablish a direct trade with Southern ports, is
not without interest. It we understand the
natiire of atthirs In this respect, it is, that the
Southern traders shotii.l take an interest in
rhe establishment of a "Southern Cotton Bank"
with a very heavy foreign capital- the mother
Bank to be located at Brussels and directed by
foreign capitalists. The object of this Bank is
to afford monied facilities to Southern planters
by loans, with their cotton crops as a basis ot
security. Thia Colton, when received, is to be
shipped to Belgium, and there sold tor the
benefit of the planter, at the last highest retail
price in foreign markets, which is regarded as
much higher than the first retail price in home
markets. The first operations of the Company
are to take place in the principal cotton grow
ing sections—either in Georgia or Alabama,
an'if found anccesslul. w ill be enlarged as a
committee of Ways and Means may direct,—
The operations of the Company and those in
terested, will commence with a cash capita) ot
shout five millions dollars, and from the grati
fying assurances which they have received
ami the interest ted* by many European pow
ers, a*wui< w from the Southern States, gives
them additional encouragement to persevere
in this great enterprise.
, This commercial Banking system, will, no
doubt, prove the most influential ar.,l power
<ul that has yet been established, and little
doubt is entertained it* ultimate success.—
The cottop Mop of the Southern States is
bread, meat and clothing for all Europe. This
alone can control the exchange, and under the
combined influence of Belgium, Ru-sia, Fiance
and other powers, a direct tride cun be firmly
established between the Southern ports and
. the Eastern continent, which will inure to the
benefit us every planter, however small or
i large his means way be. Already it has been
decided that a line of steamers shall be placed
. in readiness to depart once a week from An
twerp to some of the Southern ports for the
purpose of carrying freight, and once give the
ball a move and its own motion will gain influ
ence and strength.

F shionable Wedding.
Our New York exchanges of Friday, give
the following account of what is called the
most fashionable and aristocratic wedding
which bus taken place in New York for sever
al years. We extract the following from the
Journal of Commerce, which give* the most
modest account of the great affair:
The marriage of the Cuban millionaire.
Senor Oviedo, with Miss Bartlett, daughter ol
< apt. Bartlett, lute of the U. S. Navy, took
place yesterday at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and
the high anticipations of the fashionable world
were more t hanaatisfied. From 11'to 12 the ven
erable edifice was besieged by a throng of the
wealthiest metropolitans, and it wan with
the utmost difficulty that the police could kee;
an opening in the streets forthe constant stream
of splendid carriages, bearing their bbrdeni
of beauty and fashion to the wedding fete.—
About 7,000 tickets of invitation had been is
sued, and long before noon, the vast cathedral
was crowded, and hundreds of guests were ex
eluded for want of standing room, and so
were compelled to form part of the undistin
guished throng of citizens who packed the siJe
walks for squares around, and testified theii
interests in the occasion by loudly cheering
the bride and groom and their accompanying
party ot six bridesmaids and six groomsmen.
' as they drove up to the church door. Th,
ceremonies were conducted by Archbishop
Hughes with all the splendor of the Roman
Catholic ritual: and, at their conclusion, the
Archbishop made a brief personal address to
the happy couple, in which he alludeii to the
san tity of the marriage tie, to the reprehensi
' hie facility with which divorces are obtained,
and to the impossibility of what is called a
double marriage—one s demnized by the Prot
estant and Catholic pr.esthood in succession.
I'he latter of serration was construed by those
who heard it, to be a manifesto. In behalf of
the exclusive marriages of the Roman Catholic
Church in cases, where (as in one under no
tice) one of the contracting parties is a Catho
lic and the other a Protestant. The bride pre
sented a fine appearance at the altar. After
’lie ceremony, the newly wedded pair and their
friends left the Cathedral amid the cheers of
the outsiders, and proceeded to the residence
of the bride's parents in 14th street, where
there was a grand jam of congratulation until
three p. tn. The bridal presents were superb.
Those for the groom in the shape of jewels
alone, were valued at $35,000.
The bridesmaids, six innumber, were cloth
ed, two in white, two in blue and two in cherry
colored Tarleton dresses with double skirts.
The dress of the bride cost over five thousand
dollars, the lace and veil costing over four
thousand. The dresses of the bridesmaids
cost about one hundred dollars each.— Chas.
Mercury.
Cotton Lorn-The New Orlean* Creteut
of the 22d, in its article ”- on change” has the
I following:
M e made some allusion to the return* of
: sales of cotton in Liverpool at 4 1-2(1., w’nich
cost or stood in warehouse in Liverpool 6 l-2d.
We learn that someacconnt sales'are bein.g re
turned, which exhibits a loss of not only ten
dollars per bale, but fifteen and eighteen dol
lars per bale. Ot course, there will oe some
large reclamations; but there is another fea
ture 'u» this low quality of cotton. There are
■ many thousands of bales in Liverpool so dirty
and sandy that it will not sell tor 3d. per lb.;
1 then, again, we are informed that there are
. thousands of bales that cannot be sold at any
price, and that it will be altogether thrown
back on the consignee or shipper. In the
meantime, the talk is, who is tjsuffer on these
prodigious losses, or on whom are the recla
mations to be mads ? They who are closely
interested will, of course, know whois tostand
the deficiency.
Virginia Tobacco Crop.—The Abington
A i-ginian says there has never been a mere fa
vorable season for the culture of tobacco than
the present. It adds: *
There has been more grown in this county
this year than in all the past pnt together, and
lit is remarkably fine. There are some three
hundred acres in tobacco in’ this* county,’which
w ill yield an average of six hundred pound*
per acre, it is said, at an average of $lO per
cwt.; and it so. a yield of SIB,OOO. There is
no county on the globe, perhaps, where tobacco
; is more prolific than here, and but few where
the weed is of finer texture or flavor. It was
feured that the late frosts of spring or the ear
ly trusts <>i autumn w ould prevent the success
ful culture in this high mountain region, but
observation has taught us that we suffer les*
than the lowlands, and can produce tobacco as
. easily as wheat and corn. We would not be
surprised if there were one thousand acres c f
tobacco iu Washington county next year.

Harfxr’s Ferrt. Oct. 21. The excitement
has considerably abated, though a large num
ber of strangers from different parts of’Virgin
ia are constantly arriving to view the scene of
the ontbr eak.
We have still an abundance of rumor*—none
of which, however, can be traced to any relia
ble source. To-night it is confidently asserted
that Cook has been canght to-day, six miles
thi* side of Hagerstown, about twenty miles
from here. If there should he any truth in
this rumor you will doubtless have a confirm
ation of it from Hagerstown. A number of
persons w’ho know Cook are still in pursuit of
him, impelled by the hope of gaining the sl,-
000 reward, as well as by the desire to recover
the negr>es,of whom about a dozen are still
missing. He will probably abandon them to
••cure his own safety.
Even Dorsey and G. W. Richardson are both
doing well, ao that there were but four citizens
killed. Mr. Richardson will lose the sight of
hi* eye.
The tiding* from Charlestown are that Capt.
Brown i> out ot all danger, and will soon be
in good condition again. He seems as firm as
a rock notwithstanding his present prospects,
his wounds, and the death of his two sons.—
Nothing seem* to shake his nerves. His
wounded compinion, Aaron C. Stephens, al
though suffering considerable, is now regarded
as in a fairway of recovery.
It is understood that the examining Court
will take up the case on Wednesday next. The
prisoner* have been committed to jail at the
instance of the United States for the murder
of Sergeant Quinn, and of the State of Virgin
ia, for the murder of Thomas Beverly, Geo.
Turner and H. Shepherd the colored porter.
The prisoners will be provided with good coun
