fl@f*Tlie editor of the Montgomery Journal, since lie lias paid off that $18 judgment the (Jraliain's held against liim, imagines that .he is a great financier. He has now gone into a critical examination of the condition and management of the United States Treasury, and seems perfectly sure tlmt.ther Government has been swindled by Mr/ Cobb (the Secretary of the Treasury) retlbc^iing the outstanding bonds of the Government, at a premium, before they arc duo. lie thinks that because his paper is at a discount, and not even paid when due, that it is great folly for the government to pay off its indebtedness in advance, although it may have millions in its hand? lying idle and useless, when if put into circulation, might bcf of great benefit to the country in its present financial difficulties. Hut aside from "the relief the wise measure of the Secretary afforded the business community, it will be an absolute saving to the government of millions of dollars.— The bonds which the Secretary is redeeming (the shortest of them) have five years to run, and they arc drawing six per cent, interest, which at the end of the five years would ma Ire thirty per cent the government would have lo pay, instead of sixteen ])cr cent, (not twenty-eight per cent, as ig7ioranthj stated by the Journal,) tho premium now paid for them and thus showing an absolute saving to the government offourteen jxr cent, iustead of any loss. sWo advise the sapient editor of the Journal to try the experiment on that three hundred dollar claim held against him in Illinois, and we will insure him a profit of at least ninetyfvc per cent.

THE" GUARDS.** 1

Yesterday was the day for the monthly parade of the Guards." As the weather was unpropiliouR, SIcClelland'a Hall was token possession of at night. Quite a number of citizens were present, and report a very handsome display. Under the brilliant lamps, and over, the wide floor, maneuvering was had exceedingly creditable to the company., 'tdt?. ^J

There arc enough young men in town to form the largest corps of the kind in the State and, as we know scores of them who are without any regular amusement for their evenings, wc confess to considerable surprise that they do not at once enlist. In this connection it is worthy to remark that the military spirit is awakening throughout the Western States. In Cincinnati wc observe the rcccnt organization of a Battalion of Light Infantry. In Indianapolis there are already two splendid companies in existence and, further, we arc informed that application to the Quar-termastcr-Gcncral for arms and equipments for companies in our countics, are of every day occurrence. I1'

Next summer is sure to bring with it more spcctaclcs of a military charactcr than our State has ever seen. A grand encampment is already in contemplation at Indianapolis. We have had occasion to make one observation incident to the revival and decay of this spirit among our people. As if a certain instinct possessed them, warning of the approach of war, an increasing martial fever seizes the country in advance of actual hostilities. If we are corrcct in this, look out—this time» perhaps, the woe will be to the Mormon. e»»—» cu 6Sf" The proceedings of the Anti-Horse Thief Society will be

The Democratic majority over all opposition is twenty-five, and over the Black Republicans forty! In the last House the Democrats had but seventy-six members. They have gained therefore, fifty-five members from the combined opposition. This is one of the most astonishing political revolutions ever witnessed in the House. We include Minnesota in the list, as her members and Senators will undoubtedly be admitted to their seats soon after Congress meets. Among the elcct to the House wc include Mr. Campbell of Ohio, whose scat is contested, and probably will be finally awarded to Mr. Yallandigham. The Democratic majority in both branches over all opposition is sufficiently decisive to carry out a strict Democratic policy, provided there is no defection or secession from outranks. With a handsome majority of our friends in both Houses of Congress, and sustained and supported by the results of the elections North and South, Presidents' Buchanan's Administration starts off under the most flattering auspices.

GREAT CH ALLESGE-RACE FOB tqotodo DOM3lBS The Georgia sportsmen some time once sent forth a challenge* to the world—intended for Great Britain of course—to run a race of four miles and repeat for $100,' 000 aside, over the TenBroeck coarse at Savannah. The Georgians-propose,, in case the British accept the challenge and their horse is beaten, to refund five per cent of the purse, or $5000, to pay ex penses. The London Sunday Times insists that a' company shall he formed in England to accept the challenge, and test the superiority of the horses of the two countries. The Times calls upon Lord Zetland to become the champion of the British Turf, and send out his noble horse Skirmisher "to do battle against the American celebrities."

The indications are that the match will be made for nezt season, and if so we may look for the greatest and most' exciting race which the world ever witnessed.

When will man learn his duty to himself, the world, and to God Not until blood-shed, pestilence, and famine, have swept over our country and humbled and taught man his dependence, his duty and his true calling."—Journal.

"There was a serious collision and smasli-up between a shark and a sword-fish about three o'clock. Our reporter was promptly on the spot, but could not learn which was to blame." "A fly-fish passed up in something of a hurry, closely attended by a dolphin, which seemed to feel an anxious interest in the aerial voyager," &c.

How VALUABLE.—Little do wc know the value of a tooth until wc lose it. Persons cannot be too particular in taking care of them, for it is astonishing how rapidly they decay when once started.

PKO( LA.UATIO.W

The custom which has long prevailed, of the people of the State assembling annually, to return their thanks to Almighty God for his watchful care over the welfare of our prosperous commonwealth, is one which commends itself to the enlightened judgment of oil men. We have more than ordinary occasion to be grateful, for the abundant harvest, preserved health, and continued peace, which has been vouchsafed to us during the present year. I therefore appoint Thursday, the 26th day of November, 1857, as a day of Thanksgiving and Prayer, and invite all good citizens to abstain from their secular pursuits on that day, return their thanks for the favors received, and unitedly invoke the blessings of God for the future, upon our beloved State and Nation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused to be affixed the Seal of the State of Indiana, this, the 10th of November, A. D. 1857 [SEAL.] the 42d year of the State, and of the Independence of the United

States, the:eighty-second. By the Governor, ASHBEL P. WILLARD. DANIEL MCCLUKE, Secretary of State.

Mr: Beckner is a gentleman in every ^ensd '0/ the word^nd one of the best mail agents iti the country, and any attempt made by such small specimens of humanity as Lilly to have Info reiii6ved will proffe fruitless:

A GOOD JOKE ON L1U.V. The Quixotic Superintendent of" the L. & I. Road, Mr. J. O. D.Xill}-, made afi ass of himself the' other day, as he' is in the habit of doing, whenever occasion offers. It seems that Mr. Beckner, the regular mail agent on the L. & I. Road, obtained leave of absence, last week, and after spending a few days with his family 111 this city, took the morning train for Indianapolis, with a view of connecting with the regular mail train, und resuming the discharge of his duties. Mr. Ward, the Conductor, acting under special instructions from Mr. Lilly, who had seen Mr.

Befckner get aboard

the train, collected his fare. To this Mr. Beckner made no objection, although, as the agent of Uncle Sam, who pays tho road an enormous sum, for carrying him and the mails, lie regarded it as a very small piece of business, if not a dead swindle. He said nothing, however, but in a day or two afterwards, Mr. Lilly impudently intruded himself into the mail car, when Mr. Beckner politely informed him that he had instructions from the Post Master General to allow no ono except a sworn officer of the department to ride in the mail car, and that he would trouble him to take 11 seat iu some other part of the traiu. Mr. Lilly was sold, and looked as silly, we imagine, as when he "folded his modest sweetness up" and wilted, in the Cleveland'Convention. He stammered out an explanation— offered to refund tlie extorted passage money but Beckner declined.to accept it. •'If you wore entitled to collect if," said he, "you ought to keep it," and insisting uponthc letter of his instructions, he-point-ed significantly to tlie door, while his right foot, encased in a double-soled No. 13, doubtless itched to set him. up in the.boot business. "And further," said Mr. Beckner, "for your accommodation have stood upon the platform of my car, in all kinds of weather, and caught the mail upon my arm, at way stations to avoid stopping the train, but hereafter," he said, "you. will observe your contract with the department to the letter, and make' a full stop at all stations, while I exchange the mail at my leisure." Lilly departed with a ilea in his ear, and will probably go 011 to Washington with an application for Beckner's removal. While in the eilv, if he should fancy the National Capitol, he will probably buy it.

THEMOMI'O -.STO?K ISTT J: R.VRR?:^ STATICS Those who have been incredulous as to the disposition of flic formons to oppose, by force, the passage of the Unite I .States troops into Utah, will be astonished by the official statement of Stewart \'an Yilict, a Captain in the United .States Army, who writes the Department under date v" the 'oth of September. lo says he had an interview with Brigham Young, in Utah, a'ej that the latter told him that, the troops now on their march for Utah should not enter the Great Sail Lake Yailey, lie say '•in the course of my conversation L1thc (lovernor and the influential men 1 1 Territory, I told them plaiulv and i'ranklv what .L conceived would be the o, their present cr.irse.

IMPORTANT FROM THE PLAINS.

ST. LOUIS, Wednesday, Nov. 11.

We have received advices from Fort Laramie to the 22d ult., which states that Coloncl Cook's command of the Second Dragoons was four miles this side of the Fort and had encountered a snow storm five days previously.

Colonel Johnston, when last hear from was two hundred and thirty miles beyond Fort Laramie. The snow was seven inches deep one hundred miles this side, where the express left him. Owing to a slim supply of corn, and in the entire absence of grass, his team and dragoon horses were failing rapidly.

News reached Fort Laramie that the Mormons had burnt three Government trains, consisting of seventy-five wagons, near Green River, ninety miles behind Colonel Alexander's command, which constituted the vanguard of the army. It was rumored that the fifth and tenth infantry and batteries of artillery had taken possession of the Mormon village at Bear River for winter quarters. -----
