DEMOCRATIC

CONVENTION

The Old Liners of Montgomery County are notified tliat there will bo a County Convention held at the Court House in Crawfordsville, on Saturday, the 2Gth of December, next, for the purpose 5f appointing dctegates to attend the State Demo cratic Donvcntion, to be held at Indianapolis on the 8th of January, next.

I

KANSAS.

Kansas stock is rising in the market again—a new "trouble" is clouding the atmosphere. "We do not pretend to be posted on the facts, and therefore, "say what we have to say" on the subject, with a res ervation that, if authenticated facts require or justify it, we will hereafter as freely change our present opinion as we now 'openly express it.

Tho particular point from which this contention has grown, as we understand it, is, that the late Constitutional Convention of Kansas adjourned, having, in the usual Nchedulc, provided that the constitution Hliall be submitted to a vote of the people for ratification, but expressly defining the mode by which this vote shall be had, viz by ballots on which shall be written "Constitution with slavery" or "Constitution with no slavery the effect of which is to leave but the-one question of slavery or no slavery to the inhabitants, while the constitution itself is withhold from any expression of the popular will. iy

From this policy of the Convention has arisen,"according to our understanding of the affair, a dispute, which we are free to admit is no longer confined to the great op•posing parties, but has cxteuded to the .Democratic party itself. The papers of the party have taken the initiative—tho politicians being mum as yet. Rcfcrrin to tho press, therefore,—we mean the 'Democratic press, of course,—we find the

Pennsylvania)!, (Forney's paper), Louisril/c Democrat, Nciv York Journal of Com mcrce, Albany Argus, Ohio Statesman,

tChicago

Times, (the organ of Mr. Douglas),

Detroit Free Press, Mihcaukic Keu-s, In diana State Sentinel, and the Illinois country papers generally, have taken a bold, manly, independent stand in opposition to the action of the convention, and insist that the Constitution shall be sub mitted to the people of tho territory for their ratification. The only sheet that has as yet, approbated the action of the Convention, is tlie Washington Jjnion, which ^derives importance from the sujywsitwn that it is the organ of the President.— Thcro is a telegram stating that Mr. Buchanan lias also unequivocally endorsed the action of that body, which we do not believe. A letter writer in the Cincinnati Gazette says that Governor Walker, of Kansas, not only denounces tlie policy of the Convention, but also the Convention itself.

For our own part, going upon the facts as we at this time have them, we have no hesitation in saying that the Democratic party, North and South, by the letter of the Kansas-Nebraska act, and, later still, 'by the letter and spirit of the Cincinnati platform, under and by virtue of which Mr. Bachanan was elected to his present position, is pledged and committed to the policy of submitting all questions pertinent to their domestic institutions to the people of tho territory. So wo have always understood it, and so understanding it, have borne onr humble part in all the great battles since 1854. So the Demo­

crats of Indiana, and, indeed, the Northwest haveundcrstood it, and with that understanding, have gloriously foughta strong sectional opposition to an early death. It is extraordinary that now, after all the talk and argument, speeches, sermons, pamphlets, reports, resolutions and books— published upon the subject, that Democrats should find themselves again compelled to enter into definitions of "popular sovereignty" as it is asserted and enacted in the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Once more, then, we repeat our understanding of that phrase, viz: It means that the settlcmentof ail questions pertinent to the domestic institutions of the people of the Territory shall be left to the people. By what process of reasoning the Washington Union, or the Convention whose action is tho immediate subject of consideration, arrives at the conclusion that the withholding the constitution from the approval of the people, and sending them to the ballot box with the single, naked question of slavery or no slavery, is a bona fulc and consistent carrying out of the principle of "popular sovereignty," as we have defined it, is something too profound for our philosophy.— We are not to be told, neither are the people of the State to be told, that in the organic law of a state—in the Constitution, in short—the question of slavery is the only one pertinent to their domestic institutions. It is easy to enumerate a score of questions as vitally important.

The theory of our government is that all power is derived from the people, and that Congress, Legislatures, and Constitutional Conventions, arc but representatives of the people, llow does the action of this Convention comport with that theory? It is that of the master, not the servant,— its constitution is a crcaturc of self adoption,—in the fullness of its usurped sovereignty it mocks the people by flinging them one poor bone of dispute and, perhaps, eventual bloodshed and national disruption. Mr. Douglass never contemplated or dreamed of such action when, almost single-handed, he stood up and triumphantly vindicated the doctrine of popular sovereignty in the two territories.— Neither did the Cincinnati Convention anticipate any such consequence.

We know that a precedent for this piecemeal policy is to be found in the history of the first constitution of Ohio, which was not submitted to the people before the admission of the territory ns a State. As a precedent that history may be good enough but the circumstances accompanying the formation of this constitution are vastly different so much so that the man who would urge the former as a justification or apology for the latter should blush for shame. We think it only necessary to mention one difference among the many. When the Ohio constitution was formed, the Democratic party had not previously "passed an act affecting that territory as that of 1S54 affects Kansas—the Democratic party, had not solemnly pledged itself to the States and the world that the constitution for the new State of Ohio should be submitted to its people for their ratification or rejection. Surely, this present issue as it touches the Democracy of 1857, is one, not so much of precedents as of honor. No democratic orator or editor, dares deny in the face of the public that, as a people, we are committed soul and body to a policy in the light of which the action of this Kansas Convention must be repudiated and damned or as is better said by the Pennsylvanian, "the Northern man in Congress, or in any other position, who shall lend his aid to any attempt or plot to defeat the will of the majority of the people of Kansas, to their constitution, will be punished with political annihilation." It might have added that the annihilation will be our own work, for in that wajr, aud in that only, can the democracy vindicate their honor,

There arc other objections to the actiou of the late Convention which we have not now time or space to mention we reserve them for some future articlc. We will only remark in conclusion, that Kansas is not yet a State it has to pass the ordeal of admission by Congress the people may be assured that this subject will then be overhauled thoroughly and effectually. Our opinion is that this new Constitution will share the fate of that of Topcka.

A DASTARDLY ATTEMPT TO FIRE THE TOWN There can no longer be any doubt but that our city is infested with a gang of incendiaries and burglars. On last Saturday night, about half-past twelve o'clock, a barn owned by Reuben Taylor, Esq., and situated in the rear of "Washington Hall," was discovered to be on fire. Mr. STEPHEN BECK and a few others of our citizens rushed to the scene of the conflagration and succeeded after a desperate effort in subduing the flames. Too much praise cannot be awarded to Mr. Beck, whose timely presence and energy saved thousands of dollars worth of property, as the wind which was blowing a fierce gale at the time, would in a few moments more have not only endangered the safety of the block but the larger and most business part of the town. ———<>———

!6F*It will be seen that the time for holding the Democratic Convention has been changed to the 26th of December.— On that day we want to see a grand turnout of the part] Good speaking may be expected.

•fi^Tho arrangements aro all made for a Ball on Christmas Eve., at the Temperance Hall—"nuff sed"—we'll go.

CHEAP D*Y GOODS.—THOSE of oar lady readers who desire anything In the way of Staple or Fancy Dry Goods, should call at that emporium of fashion, Campbell, Galey & Barter's, No. 7 and 8 Commercial Block. Their stock is rapidly disappearing. Inducements are such that those only examining invariably buy. Their rooms are daily thronged, all intent on bargains. By investing a small amount of money with them, you will receive a large amount of Goods. ',

WARM

———<>———

CLOTHING.—The season is at

hand when warm and comfortable garments are necessary. We take the opportunity of directing those in want to Mayer & Ulman's clothing establishment on Mam street. Their large stock, all of the new styles, and suitable for all conditions and every age, is going off rapidly at exceedingly low rates.

ANOTHER FRESH ARRIVAL, OF PERFUMERY.—T. D.BROWN has just received another supply of French perfumes. It is unquestionablyjtbe most beautiful lot that has ever been brought to this market, It contains not only all the "perfumes of Arabia" but the most delicious fragrance of the rose and lilly.

THE TEETH.—What adds more to the looks of a person than good, regular and sound teeth? Those who are unfortunate enough as not to possess them naturally, are reminded that Dr. VANDERBILT, the experienced and skillful Dental Surgeon, is inserting beautiful sets at his usual cheap rates. Particular attention is also paid to children's teeth. To any needing his services we commend him as a cautious, able and experienced operator.

THE CRANE HOUSE.—This excellent hotel still continues to be the favorite resort of the travelling community. Under the management of Mr. TAYLOR everything is kept in the neatest order. Comfortable rooms, clean beds and sumptuous fare, are always to be had at this house.

INTERESTING TO FAMILIES. Chilion Johnson, at his establishment, No. 5 Commercial Row, Green Street, in addition to as extensive an assortment of Stoves as can be found in the State, has always on hand articles in which families are interested, being indispcnsible to house-keep-ing. From the fivA that most of his wares arc got up by competent and experienced workmen employed by him, lie is enabled to sell cheaper than any other establishment in the town.

HEAVY ROBBERY.—We understand that the residence of MAJOR WHITLOCK was entered a few nights since and some four thousand dollars stolen from the Major's strong box. We advise the employment of Pinkerton's private (Chicago) police. ———<>———

THE ENGLISH LOSS AT DELHI.—The loss of the English in the storming of Delhi seems incredibly small, as stated by telegraph. The following explanation given by a correspondent of a London paper shows that when accounts of the last four days' operations arc received, the list of killed and wounded will be largely increased. He says: "Our casualties at Delhi were 600 killed and wounded, including 40 officers; but it should be borne in mind that the casualties must have occurred up to 7 P. M. on the 16th of September, being the latest account sent officially from Delhi, consequently the above list will be largely increased when the killed and wounded on the 17th, 18th, 19tli and 20th come to be added to it." ———<>———

THE SHADOWS OF AN AWFUL WINTER.— The following eloquent extract is taken from a discourse lately delivered by Rev. E. II. Chapin to his congregation in New York: "It is not the ruined merchant, merely —it is not the spectacle of depreciated property and lost credit, and the manifold discomforts of usual bankruptcy, that most make us shudder and grow sad. Around the gloomy shadow there is still a darker rim. Away down below tho platform of financial transactions there looms a sea of faces—these faces of workingmen and workingwomen, looking up among the stopped machinery of the factories, and the silence of ship yards, atfdall the desolations of suspended labor looking up to the shadows of an awful winter „overcasting them. Men and brethren, what shall we do for those whose hard earned dollars arc not merely honor and credit, but bread and blood and life itself. What shall we do for the poorest of babes, that must soon hang on the wilted breasts of famine, and for the women for whom we must say something more than 'God bless them!'— Ah, yes, a financial crisis is a matter for tears and shuddering as well as for arithmetic and rumor,"

THE MORMON CAMPAIGN RATHER EXPENSIVE. "ION," the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore <Sun>, in speaking of the Mormon expedition, says: "The Government will depend chiefly on volunteer troops for that service, and upon 'a pile' of money which must be obtained by a resort to a new loan. Four hundred millions will fall far short of the expense of this war. It will cost nearly as much as the estimated expenditure upon the military expenses of the East India Government, in the suppression of the mutiny there. Still, this Government would be accounted as a failure unless the Mormon insurrection be suppressed."

The above must be an error. On account of the great distance from all supplies, and the expensive manner in which they will have to be transported, the expedition will be a serious drain upon the Treasury, but it can hardly cost more than fifty or a hundred millions of dollars at the outset.

HEAVE*.

Oh, HeavCn i* .nearer than mortal* think, When they look with a trembling dread At the misty fataretbat stretches on

From the silent home of the dead.

Til no lone isle in the bonadless main No brilliant but distant shore, Where the lovely ones who ere called awsy,

Mast go to return no more.

No Heaven is near ns the mighty vail Of mortality blinds the eye, That we see not the hovering angel bands

On the shores of eternity.

Yet oftin the honn of holy thought ,. To the thirsty soul is given The power to pierce through tho mist of sense

To the beauteous scenes of Heaven.

Then very near seem? its pearly gates, And sweetly its liarpincs fall, Till thcsonl is restless to soar away,

And longs for the angel call. -.•

1 know, when the silver cord is loosed, When the vail is rent away, Not long and dark sliall the passage be ,v To the realms of endless day.

The c-yes that shut in a dying hour Will open next in bliss The welcome will sound in a heavenly world

Ere the farewell is hushed in this.

We pass from the clasp of mourning friends To the arms of the loved and lost And those smiling faces will greet us then

Which on earth we have valued most.

THE EXPECTED LETTER.

1 know a sweet letter is winging Its way o'er the'and and the sea, And a beautiful burden is bringing

From over the hills, to nic.

I know how the glad spirit fluttered When it thrilled to the words that were penned, Yet the beautiful thoughts unuttercd

Arc those I most wish her to send.

She wrote with a tremulous shiver, And wondered whene'er we should meet This side of the murmuring river,

Where sweet shall be mingled with sweet.

I would that I were but the 1 nshes That smiled on her, out of the East, Or even a pause in the hushes,

Where her musical breathing has ceased.

I know only this of the letter. That I dreamed she had written tc me— My spirit is bound with a fetter

From which 1 would never be free.

I will patiently wait till the coining Of the beautiful gcn» on the way, While my spirit is inwardly humming

The words that 1 know she will say.

Mormon Movements—Brigham Young's Intentions—His Agency in the Murders, &c., &c. ———

(Correspondence of the N. Y. Times.)

The recent horrible massacre of over 100 California emigrants, by the "Santa Clara" Indians, was perpetrated under the influence of the Mormon leaders.

The savages" who did the deed also cut off Captain Gunnison and his command —and they are the only band of Indians at Corn Creek who raise grain and have it to sell.

They are the same who came near massacreing Dr. Hurt, Indian Agent; Mr. Burr, Surveyor-General, who rode into the Indian village, and announced that the Indian agent and his friends were coming to punish them for Gunnison's murder.

Kcnosh, the chief of these Indians, is a very intelligent man, who knows the value of the United States coin, and the cost of blankets, &c., as well as any white man, so that the story of his having been cheated in trade by the emigrants, as related, is simply rcdiculous [sic].

Kenosh is known to be under the influence of Young, who has a young squaw in his family, with whom the chief is in love. The dusky inamarata, however refuses to go off to live with Kenosh: but the latter is encouraged by Brigham to hope for success in due time, through his influence, and is in turn stimulated by the Mormon leader to become the instrument of his vengence [sic]. There is too much reason to believe that the unfortunate emigrant company were massacred by Mormon direction, in revenge for the killing of Elder Parley Pratt.

Bill Hickman and Lott Smith, (erone [sic]ously published Locksmith) who headed the party which recently destroyed the train containing supplies for the troops on their way to Utah, are two of the most notorious leaders of the Mormon "Danite Band," or "Destroying Angels."

Brigham Young has made up his mind that he must leave Utah next Spring, which will account for the suicidal policy he is now pursuing. It seems that part of the mission to England, of Elders Orson Pratt and Ezra T. Benson, (who are still abroad,) was to seek from the British Government permission to settle in the British possessions. The application was refused.

It has since been thrown out that the Mormons, upon abandoning Salt Lake, would go to the Russian possessions, where they would be very likely to starve to death. They have no idea of doing any thing of the sort. On the contrary, they intend to pass to the southward into the Mexican Province of Sonora. Once there, the Mexican government will find it dicffiult [sic] if not impossible, to dislodge them, and the end in all probability will be that Mexico will sell the country to the United States for a song in order to get rid of its new settlers.

Since receipt of the last dispatches from Col. Johnston, it is believed he will make no attempt to enter Salt Lake Valley this winter. He will probably take up his winter quarters in the valley of Green River, where grass can be had for the cattle.

Unless the rumor of "infernal machines" in the bands of the Mormons are true, no apprehension is felt in army circles here relative to the troops-—for they have an abundance of supplies, and can easily repulse any assault made upon them while in winter quarters. I regret to say, however, that there is some reason to fear the truth of the statement that the Mormons have control of the fearful engine of destruction known as "Greek fire." The authority upon which the story was originally published in the Washington States is very respectable and its chief points are corroborated by a gentleman with whom I have conversed here, who can hardly be deceived. ———<>——v

HEAVY FAILURES IN ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND.

MONET MARKET STRINGENT NEW YORK, NOV. 23.

The steamship Atlantic, with dates from Liverpool to the 11th inst., has arrived here.

The American advices by the Asia reach ed Liverpool on the 9th, and the advices by the Kangaroo on the 11th inst.

The Atlantic arrived here last evening. Her news is very important. It embraces late advices from India and the progress of the financial crisis.

The stringency in the money market continues unabated, and the Bank of England again advanced its rate of interest one per cent., making the present rate 10 per cent. The latest advices which had reached Liverpool, announce that the City Bank of Glasgow had stopped payment.

Messrs. Dennistouu & Co. have failed, with liabilities amounting to £2,000,000 sterling thj Western Bank of Scotland, with deposits amounting to J£6,000,000 sterling also, the Messrs. Babcock &Co., of Liverpool and New York, with liabilities said to amount to JC300,000.

The failure of Messrs. Dennistoun & Co. occurred on the 7th inst., but did not transpire until after the sailing of Saturday's steamer.

This firm was the heaviest house in Great Britain connected with the American trade. The principal house was located in Glasgow, but there were branches in London, Liverpool, New York, New Orleans and Melbourne, but the Australian house is not compromised by the suspension.

The cessation of American remittances was the sole cause of the suspension, which will probably be but temporary, as the private resources of the parties are very large.

The Western Bank of Scotland, which has also suspended, had a paid up capital of £1,500,000 sterling, and deposits forming an aggregate of .£5,000,000 sterling. The business of the Bank was immense.— It had one hundred branches in Scotland, and as the proprietary members arc very wealthy, no eventual loss is apprehended.

Several other failures arc announced with liabilities of smaller amounts.

INDIA.

Later advices received confirm the capture of Delhi. The garrison at Lucknow had been relieved by Gen. llavelock just as the enemy were ready to blow it up.— A large portion of the city had already been capturcd. Gen. Neil had been killed.

The King of Delhi had surrendered and his life had been spared, but his two sons had been shot.

Telegraphic advices in advance of the overland mail had been received at London, a fortnight later than the previous intelligence.

Delhi was in complete possession of the British on the 21st of September. Gen. Nicholson died of wounds received in the assault.

THE LATEST.—It was rumored in Liverpool on Wednesday that the Bank of France had stopped payment, but it is believed the report grew out of another advance in the rates of discount.

The following additional suspensions arc reported: Messrs. Bcnnerich, Trentzman & Rigg, of London, connected with a Manchester silk trade, with liabilities amounting from $200,000 to $300,000 Broadway & Barclay, East India trade of London, liabilities §200,000 Babcock & Co., of Glasgow and New York, liabilities $300,000 Henry Dulith &• Co., of Liverpool and Foot & Sons, silk manufacturers, of London.

The funds on Monday declined -J-tl., under the rise in the bank rates, but subsequently there was a reaction. The American advices were regarded as more favorable.

There was nearly a total suspension of withdrawals of specie from the bank. Messrs. lloge & Williamson's acceptances of Liverpool correspondents of Wm. ITogc & Co., of New York, have been dishonored.

It was reported that the American house of John Munroe &Co., of Paris, had stopped.

Messrs. Galleskamp & Brothers, of Amsterdam, have failed. Deputations from Liverpool and Glasgow unsuccessfully endeavored tc induce the Government to adopt measures of relief.

The Manchester Commercial Association had declined to participate in the movement on Tuesday.

Funds were buoyant and had advanced to 89. Four thousand sovereigns were taken from the Bank of England for Scotland.

The suspension of the Western Bank had caused a run on all the other banks, including many savings institutions.

There was less uneasiness in mercantile quarters, but a pressing demand for discounts prevailed.

FRANKFORT.

The Senate of Frankfort has interdicted the residence there of an old political refugee, named Frcebel, who sometime since had become an American citizen.

The American Consul has protested against this interdict, aud threatened to suspend his relations unless the order for the expulsion of Frcebel is recalled.

WRECK OF A IIUSSIAN WAR STEAMER.

A Russian War steamer had been wrecked in the Caspian Sea. The captain, three lieutenants, and eighteen men were drowned.

MAIL FROM INDIA.

The English Government has arranged with the Oriental Mail Steamship Company for the conveyance of a weekly mail to and from India.

Business in American securities was limited. The following quotations are reported Hlinois Central bonds of 1857, 73 Illinois Central shares 14al5 discount New York Central shares 70.

ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

The Atlantic Telegraph Company have decided to renew their operation for laying the cable the latter part of June next, commencing from the middle of the Atlantic, as originally designed. Messrs. Glass & Elliot had commenced the construction

of additional cable, making three thousand miles in all. Messrs. Easton & Ames were building new paying-out machines. ———<>———

THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

Arrival of the Steamer Vanderbilt.

INPORTANT FINANCIAL NEWS.

Fearfol Panic in England and Scotland INNUMERABLE FAILURES.

CHARTER OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND SUSPENDED AND SMALL NOTES ISSUED.

QUEBEC, NOV. 24.

The U. S. mail steamship Vanderbilt, with dates from Liverpool to the 14th inst., passed Cape Race on Sunday, and her news arrived here by the Association Press today.

The steamer North Star with American advices to the 31st of October, arrived at Southampton on the 13th inst.

A fearful financial panic occurred in England the day after the Atlantic sailed. All the banks refused to discount in any shape.

The following failures occurred during the panic: The City of Glasgow Bank Sanderson & Co.. of London Wilson, Morgan & Co. Stationers, of London Fletcher & Keet, Stationers, of London Coddington & Co., Iron Merchants, of Liverpool Mackenzie, Ramsey & Co., of Dundee Draper, Picton & Co., of London Fatman, Grenel & Co., of Liverpool Bean, Broddice & Co., of London Munroe, Grant & Co., of Swansea, and Storgman & Co., of Nottingham.

In the midst of the panic the 'Treasury issued an order suspending the charter of the Bank of England, and authorizing the issue of small notes to any amount. The effect of this order was instantaneous.— The panic immediately ceased and the news was received with furious acclamations in all the commercial cities throughout the kingdom.

The English money market was steadier on the 13th inst., bank stock quoted at 209^@212. Exchequer bills improved, and all kinds of produce immediately advanced considerably.

There has been a great money panic in Scotland, and a heavy run prevailed upon all the Banks.

The feelimj among the business circles in Bristol, Manchester, Edinburg and other places, became more cheerful on learning that the Government had authorized the Bank to extend its issues.

The British Parliament will meet immediately. The Bank of France has raised its rate of discount on ninety day bills to ten per cent.

The English ship Dunbar, bound to Australia, was wrecked off Sidney, and one hundred and forty passengers and all the crew were lost.

INDIA.

The latest advices from Delhi say that the extent of the British loss has not yet been ascertained but it is believed to be less than twelve hundred.

The mutineers of the Govalicr Contingent had been subdued by cutting off their supplies.

It was reported that Lucknow which was relieved on the 2 jth ot September, was again besieged bv

2Sena

Sahib, with

00,000 rebels. All the city people found in Delhi were bayoneted by the British troops.

Many Europeans were iound in the city fifditintr in the ranks of the rebels.

'HOW TRADE AT I.OUISVI IA. K. The Louisville Courier of yesterday says: "We hear of no transactions, and quote the market nominal at five cents net for immediate delivery. The receipts of hogs arc increasing, and the packing season will be fully commenced during the week.— The slaughter has not exceeded 2,000 head with receipts of some 5,000 head. But few hogs arc selling in the country, and we hear of small sales in Garrard and Boyles Counties at $3 gross, for cash at the pens, and $3,50 on time. Some feeders are not willing to sell at these prices, and are driving their hogs in to be packed on their own account. Private dispatches from Cincinnati, Saturday night, indicate a decline in that market. "The Bowling Green packers received a lot of 300 hogs, Thursday, that averaged 300 pounds. No sales reported, but a buyer from Baltimore was in the market for 2,000 head. "At the Lexington (Ky.) Pork-house, up to Thursday, 3,019 had been killed, and yesterday a large number were slaughtered. The prices, at four months' time, ranged from $5,25 to $5,50, net About 1,200 were in the pens on Friday."

1IRIGIIA3I YOUNfi and Mie illOR.liON.S, Elder Hyde. Elder Hyde, the converted Mormon, has been lately delivering lectures upon Mormonism in Washington City*. The Washington Star thus notices his lecture

He expresses the opinion that there can be r.o question as to the sincerity of the Mormons. A community of hypocrites is an impossibility: a community of fools is quite another thing.

Salt Lake City he describes as having sixteen thousand inhabitants, and as being surrounded by a mud wall twelve feet high and which was built in 1854 merely lo keep the people occupied, for Young, it seems, goes on the Napoleonic principle that people get discontented when they are idle, and open to impertinent inquiry and rebellion. The houses of Salt Lake City are built of adobe (sun-dried bricks) and look neat and pretty, placed as they are on the edges of squares, leaving well-cultiva-ted fields and gardens in the center.

Giving a hasty picture of the industrial operations of the Mormons, and their'mysteries' (a prominent feature of which is a solemn oath to cherish constant enmity to the United States Government, and by every means to aid in overruling that Government and if unable to do anything themselves toward the accomplishment of these objects, to entail it upon their children as a legacy), the lecturer proceeded to give a graphic delineation of Brigham Young as a man and as a prophet. He speaks of Young as a man greatly underrated as a man of towering intellect. He must not be estimated by the apparently nonsensical character of his speeohes, which are but the reflex of the fanaticism of his followers. His speeches are for his people he

must be judged by his aot*. Personally,,. Brigham Young is a large, MVerful man, with light btown hair, eaffl—sly thrown back upon Ida head has qaisk, commandihg gray, eyes, and is altegMM# just the sort of person one would tarirfbgAanother look at in passing.

His

tlfcl Is clear,

sonorous•, decided.- BrUkuB Yang was, born in Vermont, ind ifiwv it the neighborhood of fifty-six years of age.

Mr. Hyde says that is a fate, visit to Plymouth Clnreb, Brooklyn, he was struck by the remarkable similarity in style of speech, 4c., between Brigham Young and Henry Ward Bcechef. Beecher resembles Young in bis ctosely shaven face hay a careless manaer of disposing bis hair, his off-hand freedom fom convetitionalisifas his style of Walking the platform vthiU speaking, and his power of impressing hi* audience by his rough energy.

He had seen Young sway an audience ft eight thousand people to and fro as if by some superhuman agency'. His power ot vituperative eloquence was described as something terrible, and 6ome singular instances of its crushing force upon contiw macious "Saints" who were mentioned by the lecturer. Young is supreme in Utal/, and should any prominent Mormon undertake to surpass him in any speciality, he :s forthwith banished on a "Mission," and thus by the Prophet's astute policy tho aspiring leader, instead of being permitted to ferment troubles at home, is furnished with another field in which to expend his surplus energies thus, in fact, strength cning Mormonism and the authority of Brigham. Brigham Young has now twen-ty-five wives, and might have as many more, but docs not care to extend tho number further. How many children ho has, the lecturer thought, would puzzle tho Prophet himself to say. In Utah, the old proverb was reversed, and it was a wiso man who knew his own children.

Mr. Hyde thinks it is a mistaken policy for our Government to send out men to deal with Brigham Young who have not the ability to cope with his masterly intellect and he dilated upon the mortifying history of the United States officials who have successively been sent to Utah and completely out-genoraled by this shrewd and able tactician. Some he intimidated by insinuating what might happpen to them should he "crook his finger and some ho completely bamboozled by smooth speeches social courtesies, &c.

In the case of Colonel Stcptoc, an officer of courage, who was sent out in 1854 t.» take Brigham's place of Governor of Utrui the Colonel and his fellow officers were so blarneyed, fascinated and befooled, that ln after keeping his commission of Governor in his

pocket

unpresented for six numtii

resigned his office, aud got up a pctiti which he induced all the other officers a\l his civil friends to sign asking the I'roMi ,, dent to reappoint- Young as Governor, as tho propercst person to till that office, 'this, too, in the face of Young's doctrinc is tint the time will come when national disscntions wiilso weaken tho Union that a united Mormon people, under an able leader, c.iu easily overturn our Government and p!\n'. Mormonism in its place.

Mr. llyde gives Brigham the credit in' sincerity in his faith, aud designates him as the Ignatius Loyola of Mormonism.

THE LAUNCH OF THE GREAT EASTERN, ALIAS THE LEVIATHAN. Our readers are already apprised that the launch of the <Great Eastern> steamship, at London, proved a failure. An immense crowd assembled to see the launch, when she was christened the "Leviathan," a very appropriate name. A London paper, in describing the attempted launch, says:

Cheers resounded; the men at the capstans gave to with a hearty will, the donk-ey-engine puffed, the ship moved, but only for a short distance, and, upon inspection, it was found that the stern had progressed but three feet, while the stem had advanced seven feet.

We regret to say that the first movement of the vessel was accompanied by a very severe accident, by which at least four or five persons were seriously injured.— From the account given to our reporter by Mr. Yates, the Secretary, it would appear that when the vessel first moved the men working at one of the drums became frightened and endeavored to run away; and, for the purpose of doing so, released their hold of the "crank" which turned the drum, and caused the former to revolve with such rapidity that several of the unfortunate laborers were thrown over, and seriously injured. This, Mr. Yates says, occurred while the vessel was in motion, and the consequence was that the "break" [sic] had to be applied and the further progress of the vessel was stopped; while the officials of the company believe that, had the laborers maintained their positions without fear, the launch would have been successfully accomplished in the first instance.— On the other hand, it is said by the men who were working at some of the cranks that their instructions were defective and, the machinery being on an entirely new principle, they did not know how to act when the crank began to spin around, which it did, they say, with such force that they could not control it, and hence some of their unfortunate companions were struck by the handle of the crank with such force that they were thrown in all dirertions, and seriously wounded. Whatever the cause of the accident, it is certain that the machinery was brought to a sudden stop, the consequence of which was the breaking of one of the cogs in the wheel of the "heaving" machine. * * * * * *

The tide at this time had risen to its full hight [sic], it being at its springs, aided by the south-east wind, which always causes higher tide than ordinary. The lighters were moved from their original positions, and everything prepared for another attempt, when, the pressure being again applied, one of the most important chains connected with the apparatus broke; and, at a quarter past three, all further operations were, for that day, abandoned. ———<>———
