DAN .MACE.

This gentleman will unquestionably be the Black Republican candidate. Most of •tho Republicans in this county wc are as sured have settled down upon him as the proper man to succeed Wilson. Such men as John Beard and many other of the prominent leaders of that party arc busily engaged in adjusting the wires for Dan's success in Convention. Fry's candidacy, as wo remarked last week, is only a little piccc of pleasantry, which our friend Rube

Fink has been playing off. Joseph Addison Gilkcy, of Ripley township, an unsuspecting and innocent youth, was induced by Rube, to suggest through the Journal, Fry's name as a candidate. As a matter of course, it only excites the risibilities of the people in Montgomery. Rube is a great wag, and has taken this plan, through tho crcdulity of Gilkcy, to sport with Fry's vanity and ignoranco. So the Republicans of this county have really no candidate of •their own, and uith but few exceptions, arc Mace men. We do not know of but two Wilson «ucn in the county, one of whom is .-a 'half-breed by the name of Pedro, who ?has been living in Crawfordsvillc some two or three years, and who identified himself with the Republicans last fall by his intimacy with the Hon. James Wilson.

JQTRead the Sheriff advertisement iu another column. If "dear Jcre" reads them, we would rcccommcnd him to use specks. They are perfect eye-sores.

•©"Our meddlesom neighbor says that toggeries arc our favorite places of resort. Hew he knows wc are unable to say, unless he has been peeping through the windows or lying in the dog-fennel. Ho says that "he has too much self-respect to be caught frequenting such sink-holes." You don't protend to say "dear Jcre" that you have more self-respect than the Hon, James Wilspp?

BOY DROWNED.—A boy by the uauic of O'Conner was drowned at the foot of Washington street on last Monday morning. The creek being very high, his body was not recovered until Tuesday evening.

I^The heavy rains of last week washed away a small embankment on the N. A. & S. R. R. near the Horner form. It will be repaired so as to admit the passage of trains by the first of nsxt week.

GUIUN roa JUNB.—This elegant Magatine has been received. Its coutents of prose and poetry are gems of beauty, while the embellishments are unsurpassed by any Magasino in the world.

MfWbj may there not be another Homer, another Milton, another Shakspeare, another Jesus Christ?—Ralph Waldo Emerson,

t9*Onr unhappy neighbor across the way i» still deeply troubled concerning the: Sheriff printing. Thc stale epithets ho flings at us, while they may afford him some amusement, cannot certainly be of any interest to his readers. Wc presume the community care very little about our private business transactions with Mr. Schooler. Whether he is indebted to us or we to him, is a matter that none but the ill-bred and uninannerlj' will seek to know. "Mind your oven business,"is a maxim that Jcre will yet have to learn if he expects to live happily and quietly in this world.— The reason that Mr. Schooler does not see proper to give him the printing, he certainly well knows. In the summer of 1857. he held a small account against Mr. S., for sheriff advertising, published in the

Journal while under his management.— Mr. S., not paying the bill promptly, was summarily sued. Now everybody acquainted with Mr. S., know him to be an honest man, one that will pay a debt as promptly as most men, though we presume he has seen times when it was not always convenient or possible to liquidate a debt at the time it came due. That for the last year has been to a great extent a common misfortune. As a matter of course Mr. S., felt somewhat indignant, there being nothing to warrant any such proceeding on the part of Mr. K., and to use his own language ("officially,") he Mr. K., "will nev­

er

male over twenty-five per cent out of that operation." Now because wc are employed to do the printing, our meddlesome neighbor lias taken to acting the dog in the inanger, and rendering himself ridiculous by applying to us low and vulgar epithets, forgetting that any black-guard might do the same thing. Wc have no disposition to indulge in vulgar and unchaste personalities, or to pry into any of our neighbors private affairs. The first only exhibits to a community, alack of moral training in youth, and is disgusting to the wellbred and refined gentleman. The latter is a disease, the unhappy victim of which is truly to be pittied. We arc aware of the mental deficiencies of our neighbor, and it would be folly for us to find fault with nature, eccentric as she sometimes is. We shall not quarrel with him through our paper or stand off like some beardless urchin and call him names. Our readers feel no interest in anything of the kind. If dear Jcre wishes to abuse us, it will be much more manly and in better taste to do it to our face.

86S°*The Jourtuil of this week abounds in some pretty tall specimens of highfalutcn. Bughum, like Richard, is himself again. Ilcar how sublime and eloquent he discourses on the Hon. W. H. English:

Henceforward he will be known only as the traitor and spy. He will be despised by all honorable men, condemned, scouted, shunned as contaminated with leprosy on which it would be almost death to look. English the traitor and the spy is. dead beyond the hope of a rcsurection."

Bughum reminds us of a certain chap that some years since turned up in Arkansas. Failing to find employment sufficiently remunerative to cam a livelihood, he determined to run for Congress. Ilis education being very limited, he committed to memory the declaration of Independence, which he declaimed with great eloquence at all the cross roads in his district. The people concluded that any man that could 'talk that way' would be an ornament to the State, and they accordingly elected him. Bughum is trying to play the same game here with the Black Republican party in this district. The above denunciation of Mr. English is borrowed from Abe Horner, who used it in 1855 against the Hon. Stephen A. Douglas. Bughum should be ashamed of such plagarism.

CHOICE CIUAKS.—If any of our readers wish to smoke a capital cigar, wc rcccommend tliciu to go to NOI.TE'S cigar store on Main street. lie has got some of the finest cigars in town, as every one will attest who have tried them.

The following remarkable language

was used by the able defender of Count Orsini, at his late trial for an abortive.attempt to assassinate Louis Napoleon:

When a nation is so unhappy as to be subject to a tyraut, she is never delivered by pistols or poignards God who counts the hours of tyrauts, keeps for them worse catastrophes than assassination!

The effect says a spectator was unspeakable, and the looks of men, mutually strangers, sought each other in deep and instantaneous approval of the sentiment.

SAVE YOUR DOCTOR'S BILLS !—The com inon Needle has douc more toward making the fortunes of physicians and undertakers, than people generally imagine. Atropos herself was not so cruel, for she only cut the thread of existence, when the term of life was duly up. whereas the relentless NEEDLE prematurely destroys. How many victims has it made, and how many fathers have been impoverished by long bills for physic? Well, all this maybe avoided by the use of GEOVER & BAKER Sewing Machine, which wijl do all the stitching of a family without destroying any of its members. It is far and away the best of its kind, as experience has fully demonstrated.

iQTMany of the Black Republicans arc singing on the street corners a little couplet, entitled Don 3lace. It runs as follows: "G«t out of the way for Daniel Maco,

For he is bound to take th# race." Straws show which way the wind blows.

f^It is said that Forrest, the actor, is about to marry Laura Keene.

BRITISH OtJTR AGES UF01C THE HIGH SEAS* Captain Howe,, of the schooner Mobile, after stating thatr his vessel,: with' the American flag flying, wais fired into by the English war steamer Styx, and insolently boarded by a lieutenant, reports the following conversation: "Officer—I want to see your papers. "I went into the cabin, followed by the lieutenant, and, taking out my allotment and license, handed them to him, keeping my manifest in my hand. "Officer—Where is

ought to have a register. "I answered, our coasting vessels do not have registers they sail under a coasting license. I then handed him my manifest, saying, here is my clearance from Mobile in regular form. He examined it and laid it on tho table. I asked, "Have you got through? If you have I wish to proceed. It is very strange you should commence boarding vessels in this way." "Officer—We have orders from our government to board every vessel passing up or down the Gulf. "The officer then got into his boat, and went on board the steamer, and the Mobile made sail on her voyage."

Is this not enough to inflame the public mind of the country? Rome was fierce, bloody and inexorable but, even in her darker days, when word came home that one of her "citizens" had been insulted in a distant land, while under the protection of the Roman Eagle, AX us opened the gates of his Temple, the youth, both of noble and plebeian blood, entered the legions, and the mighty energies of the proudest empire of earth converged into one tremendous torrent of revenge.

Those very eagles occupied London for four centuries as one of their outjwsts.— Are the ancient subjects of heathen Rome to be our masters in our own waters? We hope and do not doubt that President BUCHANAN will adopt measures to send, if necessary, that spiteful and troublesome representative of British wrath (which bears, by the way, an infernal and Plutonic name,) across the river Styx. Let the MACEDONIAN go down, and by one broadside blow her entirely out of the Gulf. No American sailor need fear to take the responsibility there is really a chance, indeed, for a speculation for that captain, lieutenant or jolly tar that would cause an eighteenpoundcr to "bring up" just below the wa-ter-linc of the Styx frigate, and send her, crew and all, down among the mermaids, would have the prayers of the Church, and could marry himself to advantage in any city in America. Where are the Utah, Sonora and Nicaragua men?

Recent devclopcments prove, beyond a doubt, that the outrages perpetrated, within the last two months, upon the American flag, in the Southern waters, are the result of a preconcerted design on the part of the government of Great Britain to interfere in American affairs in the neighborhood of Cuba. The pretense of the English that they arc stopping the slave trade will not do. Their pretensions were very extensive more than forty years ago, but they were denied and exploded by JACKSON at New Orleans. The following dispatch only strengthen our conviction in regard to the object of the British Government,— Diplomatic notes are stale and weatherbeaten the rule of honor requires at least an exchange of shots .* "BOSTON, May 17. "Captain Loring, of the brig Rhigold, arrived here last night. lie reports on the 30th ult., after leaving Sierra Morna, he was fired into by a British cruiscr one of the balls buried in the mainmast close to the captains head. They were afterward boarded by the bully boat's crew, who ^insisted on examining the vessels papers."

Since writing the above wc have received fuller particulars. Captain GAGE, of the American bark IT'. II- Chandler, has furnished a report, which has appeared in the Herald, in which he says eleven American vessels lying iu the harborot Sangu.i La Grande were boarded by a British ciuiser. All the captains whose vessels had been searched had joined in a protest.— Says the Herald "The Captain (Gage) had conversation with other captains subsequently to the searching of their vessels, and he was informed bv all that a rigorous search of their vessels had been made, and that the officer even went so far, in some instances, as to bore casks with an auger, in order to make the search unusually strict. In some of the vessels the bearing of the officer was more than imperious—it was insolent and commanding. When he arrived at the brig Scorn, of Boston, there was no officer on board, except the second mate. He ordered him to hoist his flag, and added that lie should have done it before, when he saw an English man-of-war boat approaching with her colors flying. The captain was also informed that on every vessel he visited he drank rum, brandy, gin or some other such beverage."—Cincinnati Enquir-

TERRIBLK ACCIDENT ON TIIE LAFAYETTE 4c INDIANAPOLIS It. It.

Conductor liwin, Engineer and Fireman Killed!

About 1 o'clock, .this morning, the Express train, on the Lafayette A lndianapolis Railroad, coming from Indianapolis, broke through^ the Potatoe Creek Bridge, 19 miles from this city. The train was completely wrecked. Jac. Boidingcr, the engineer, and Patrick Maloney, the fireman, were instantly killed. Conductor Irwin was struck on the head by one of the heavy timbers of the bridge, and died in about an hour and a half. The passengers by a miracle, escaped without injury. A special train from this city, was dispatched to the scene of the disaster at an early hour this morning. The bodies of the engineer and fireman, both horribly mangled, were found under the engine. From thuir position, it was evident they had fallen at their posts. The body of conductor Irwin, which, after his death, had been removed to a farm house near by, was brought to this city, and now lies at the resilience of J. 0. D. Lilly, on Wabash street. The remains of the engineer and fireman were brought up at the same time, and conveyed to their former places of residence, in tho south part of town. Both were married. The heart-rending grief of their families on receiving their mangled remains, can be better imagined than described.

Below will be found the full particulars of the disaster, as given in the STATEMENT OF A TASSENOER.

In compliance with your request, I herewith hand you a brief and hurried statement of the accident on the L. & I. Railroad.

The casualty occurred this morning about 1 o'clock, at Potatoe creek, seventeen miles cast of Lafayette, resulting in the loss of three lives, viz: the Conductor, James W. Irwin, and the Engineer and Fireman. I was in the forward car and was asleep at tho time, but was awakened by a fearful crash, and being thrown violently forward,. I at once discovered that the train had broken through a bridge, and that wc were surrounded by water. The two stoves in the car were overturned, and the car filled witli/smoke, almost to suffocation. I immediately raised the windows, and then proceeded to ascertain our situation. The engine was lying in the creek near the Western bank the tender seemed to have entirely disappeared, but is probably under the wreck the baggage car was a complete ruin— a large stick of timber fourteen to sixteen inches square (one of the sills of the bridge) having traversed its length and entered the forward car through the window, and impaling that car to the length of ten feet. Mr. Irwin, the conductor, had. but a few minutes previous to the disaster, taken the front seat, where the timber entered the car, and was found on the floor of the car, under the timber, with a ghastly wound in his head. He was immediately removed from the car, aud with cushions from the seats, shawls, &c., a couch was made for him, but ho was already past human aid, and breathed his last at ten minutes to 3 o'clonk. The Engineer and Fireman must have been instantly killed their bodies were submerged and found under a portion of the engine. The Engineer was cut almost entirely in two at his hips, and his body otherwise mangled. The passengers were almost providentially saved from death. I receivcd a slight contusion in the face, and one or two others received similar injuries. The forward car lies in tho middle of the creek, and was prevented from being carried away by the current, by the timber I have spoken of in front, and the coupling with the rear car, the front end of which lies in tho creek, and the rear end on the track, at an angle of about GO degrees.

In the rear car were several ladies and children, and through this the passengers in the front car made their escape. 3Ir. Lilly, Sup't. of the Road, happened to be on board, and by his presence of mind and energetic action, enlisted for him the warmest commendations of the passengers. He informed me that he passed over the bridge at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and it then appeared to be safe. I learned from some of the farmers residing near the scene of the disaster, that the heavy shower which occurred after that hour appeared to undermine one of the bents of the bridge and they were apprehensive of danger, so much so that they admit they listened for the coming of the train with great apprehension aud were not disappointed when the crash came, the noise of which was heard for the distance of a mile or more. Why they built no fire, raised no flag or the lantern, to warn the engineer, is most unaccountable and is a neglect for which they must answer to their own conscience.— One noble lad (and I wish I knew his name, that he might have the credit he deserffes) fearing danger to the train proposed to build a fire upon the track near the bridge, and if no one would join him, he would keep watch through the night alone, but he was dissuaded from it. Had he been allowed to follow his own generous impulse this sad occurrence which has carried unspeakable sorrow to inSHy families and causing great destruction of property might have been averted.

:a: Correspondence of-tbe Albany GREAT RAILROAD DISASTER.

i- INTERESTING HARRATIVK.

-T. UTICA, Wednesday Morning. I reached this city at three clock yesterday afternoon. As we approached the station, it would have been evident to me, that some great calamity had stricken a panic through the community, had I been ignorant of the occurrence of the: terrible disaster which was the occasion of my visit. A number of persons were gathered in the

conversing in seperatc groups,

depot,

in a subdued tone, and every face wore a saddened expression. Here and there a man or woman with a scarred and bruised face—a head covered with patches—an arm or a leg bandaged, was the centre of attraction and the large number of those injured who were crowded in the sitting rooms, awaiting the arrival of trains to hurry them away from the scene of their misfortune, gave me at once an imitation that the earliest reports that had rsached us at Albany were not exaggerated, but had rather under estimated the extent and the fearful character of the accident.

Many females were pacing the room in tears—some for the suffering of relatives and friends, and others from nervous excitement occasioned by the fearful occurrence. Immediately our traiu stopped, two ladies from a forward car sprang out on the platform, and accosting the first person they encountered, inquired with choking voice and agonized look lor one of the injured. Alas! it was only to learn the worst. Hc.wa* dead and a mother learned Jjut she was childless—a wife that she had wst a beloved husband! They entered the sitting room slowly and sadly, and taking seats side by side on the bench, leaned their faces together and wept in silence. Hope, that had kept their spirits stretched to the utmost tension, was suddenly killed, and they seemed to have no further energy to move—no desire to talk or ask more—no words—no sighs—no loud demonstrations of grief—nothing but silent, bitter tears to show the anguish of their hearts.

A run of three miles brought u° to the spot where the cruel work was done. As wc approached the broken bridge, slowly and cautiously, the appalling character of the disaster gradually disclostftl itself.— Fields in the vicinity were alive with persons—flocking to and from the scene of the tragedy. On this side of the bridge, on the track and apparently uninjured, stood the engine and tender that had been attached to the Cincinnati Express, the down train. The baggage car and first passenger carriage had been wrenched off by the tearing way of the remainder of the train, thrown on to their sides and badly broken. The top and side of the baggage car were driven in, and the trucks and axles badly broken, by the sudden wrench and violence of the fall. Between them and the bridge, the track for a little distance was uninjured, showing conclusive!}- that the locomotive and baggage car, and one passenger car had passed safely over before the bridge fell. On the north track, on this side of the bridge were some of the baggage cars and the one passenger car that had been attached to the up train.— A portion of these had also been upset and broken.

Some idea of the horrible nature of the catastrophe may be formed from the following facts: The space between the stone abutments of the bridge is thirty-four feet, and the fall to the bed of the creek is about ten feet. The lensrth of a passenger car is thirty-five feet. Three cars lay lengthwise within this space nf forty-four feet.—none of them turned out of the direct line, but shot down as- straight as they stood a momoTnont before on the track. One hundred and jive feet of cars, therefore, crowded tei/.h human beings, lay crushed into fragments, or driven up into each other like the rounds of a telescope, within the space of forty four feet, or a little more than the length of a single car.

This, then, was the sight that presented itself to mo as 1 left the train and looked over into the crock. Crossing a temporary bridge, constructed on the north side of the bridge, over which to transfer baggage from train to train, I passed round the west end of the bridge to the south side of the (rack, and climbing down the embankment stood in the bed of the creek, in order to get a good view of the ruins. And from this point it was that the full horror of the butchery could alone be fully appreciated. The rotten, worthless timbers of the fatal trap called the bridge, broken through like so many pipe stems, bent down towards the water, mingling with tho ruins of the cars. The massive south side of the!

bridge leaned inwards, touching the top of

the last car. Looking through and under ncath these timbers, all that remained of the three cars could be seen.

Leaving this scene of horror, I walked riling the track about a mile, to the Whitesboro' station. There, everything appeared so quiet that I began to suspect I might have spared my legs and returned to Utica. But I was mistaken. Entering a baggage car that stood solitary aud alone on the side of the track, I found two dead bodies one, that of a colored man, most horribly mangled, both legs being crushed to pieces as high as the thigh, and the rest body but little better the other,

UUU*!i-*Jl

that of a white man, evidently in fair cir-

cumstanccs. The latter represented

a

frightful appearance. The head was crushed to a jelly, the brains all smashed up and protruding. The upper neck and shoulders and both arms appeared to be broken into splinters. He must have been killed on the very instant, without feeling the blow.

The first, and the front part of the second, it was impossible to distinguish one from the other, the whole being smashed literally to pieces between the stone abutment and the front part of the last car.—The second or middle car, in its descent, had plunged down head first, and its rear end was consequently raised. It was on this rear end, with its iron work still attached to it, that the third car had run opening to receive it as it came crashing through just at a sufficient height to take the tops of the seats and the heads and shoulders of the passengers, crushing them into a jelly, As I clung to the rafters of the bridge and looked through into the ruins, my very soul sicked within me aa I beheld spattered upon and adhering to the sides of the cars, the blood, the flesh, and the brains of the mangled sufferers.

Upon inquiry at the station, I ascertained that some of the injured were there, and passing round to the rear of the building—for the front was carefully closed—I

entered. In a iB^!l^-rtomr««taining one bed^ were two feiales.. .One off .them, an elderly widow lady named Mar^Bachelor, residing at St Johns,\ Michkan, sat propped up on a rocking- chair?"^She had been struck in the back of the neek and head, and was in a critical condition. Her collar bones and neck were jbadlyj injured, and the back of her head was broken. It was necessary that she should be placed in a position that added to her suffering in those other portions of the body in which she was hurt.

The other lady was.Mrs. Julia Broderick, of Charlestown, Mass. She was laid upon a settee in the same room the front of her skull was crushed in, and the dangerous character of the injury was evident in the dreamy, half-unconscious state in which she lay. Her husband sat by her side, endeavoring to rccall her to consciousness, the tears coursing each other down his cheeks as he gassed upon her. They were young people, and he was entirely unmanned. I spoke to him some words of consolation, for my heart was touched to witness his grief, and he endeavored to reply. But his voice failed him,, and he could only press my hand, and bending his face down to the bosom of his wife, he wept like a child.

I next visited the bank room, where two male persons lay in a dangerous condition. There were no beds in the room, and both were placed on narrow, uncomfortable, settees. One was a German named William Snover, living in the Bowery, New York. His injuries are very severe and painful.— A frightful gash over his left eye-brow severs the brow from the facc, and cuts so deep into tho eye as to render it improbable that the sight can be preserved. There arc also some half dozen other wounds upon the head, and his body is much bruised. He has apparently received severe internal injuries.

The other inmate of the room was a fine looking young man, whose name is supposed to be G. 0. Knowles. He was entirely delirious, and no intelligent replies could be obtained from him. Tho name given above was marked upon his shirt.— He has received a very singular injury.— There is a hole in the top of his skull, and not larger round than a ten ceftt piecc, nnd apparently the skull has been driven into the brain. For some time after the accident, he did not appear* to be seriously hurt, but he gradually grew delirious. He oncc stated that he came from New Hampshire. I questioned him as-to his residence but his only reply was, "How is this What have they done to rue'! Where did it happen?" and similar disjointed sentences. He also spoke of being with the Indians. His recovery appears to be hopeless, and the chances arc that lie will gradually sink under congestion of the brain.

Leaving the depot I procured a horse and buggy and proceeded to Yorkvillc, about a mile cast where I found Mr. A. Yates, of Fulton, the well known canal contractor, had been conveyed. I there learned that his injuries were quite severe nad painful, but not so serious us to prevent the probability of his endeavoring to return home that night.

I then returned to the ruins, and found a large gang of hands employed in dragging out the cars, with the machinery used for that purpose. This was a work of time, as tlicy camc out piece by piece, but it was proceeded with steadily, despite a very high wind and a drizzling rain, in the presence of a number of spectators. It was confidently anticipated that more dead bodies would be found amongst the ruins, and intense anxiety was manifested as piccc after piecc was hauled out.

At length just before dusk, a man named W. II. Acker, of Yorkvillc, who was searching the ruins, raised a cry for assistance. lie had come upon the body of a boy about 12 years of age. The corpsc was speedily dragged from the wreck aud laid upon the track. The poor little fellow had been seated in the lirst car that fell from the bridge, and was found close to the stone abutment. The left side of his skull and left eye were driven through into his brain, which projected from the top of the head. In all other respects-lie was entirely undisfigurcd, and his countenance wore so sweet an expression, his parted and still red lips appeared so life-like, that you could fancy they were at that very moment wreathed with a smile, and giving utterance to some pleasant thought of childhood in the ear of the little girl of his own age who, as 1 afterwards learned, had sat in the same seat with him all the way down, and whose spirit, on that same night, joined his in heaven. The name of the boy was Charley Bcttman that of the girl, Avery Muck.

On returning to Utica, I found the father of the poor bo}', Mr. ]}. Iicttinan, was ill at the McGregor

deserves the gratitude of every good Chris tian, for the feeling and effective manner in which she renderod aid to those placed in her care. Although knowing that this boy was missing, he would not believe that he was dead, but had insisted that they had taken him to some other house. When told of the fullness of his loss, lie was like a maniac, and his sorrow was touching in the extreme. lie begged and prayed to be permitted to have his boy there in the room and one moment would deny that he was killed, and the next inquire pitcously whether his corpsc was much

-""V y11":" mangled, and whether hiH wounds could

1 have been painful ones.

V3f~ The Louisville Democrat always has terse and pointed things. Here arc two spicy hits:

Alabama said to Congress, if you don't give me Lecompton, I will go right out of the Union. She is just about as smart as the boy wbo exclaimed, "ma, if you don give me that cakc, I will go right off and catch the measles."

The editor of the Washington Star says, that, when he saw Mr. English separate himself temporarily from the Democracy, he fairly held his breath in amazement.— If he had held it till this time the world wouldn't have been much the loser.

AN INDIANA EXCITEMENT.-—The Lafayette Journal says great excitement prevails there on account of the ruin of a highly respectable lady. The guilty author of her ruin, who has also heretofore occupied a respectable position in society, and is a member of the church and a Sabbath school teacher, was immediately waited upon and a promise exacted from him that he would marry his victim on the following morning. He left during the night, and at the last accounts the girl's friends were in hot pursuit of him.

toa^who ^Jn*Ksedt«join thellon^, and emigrate to Salt Lake, write* home to Leeds, England, as follows:

I am afraid I never shall'see ^iu iaiain but still I lire in'hopes." We startedfrom Salt Lake some time sioco to come back again, but the Mormons met tut, and we' were compelled to go back. On arriving' at the Salt Lake I was not 4 Utile surprised to see the men running after the wo-: men and asking if they were married but I have not got married yet, and I do not intend to. Many of the men hare eight or ten wives, and they sleep with one two* nights, and another two nightsr and so on —and this is Mormonism. Bat this is not all, for Brigham Young has si*ty w,omen, and they had twelve sons in one year, and how many daughters I do not know. What they preach about is, thieving and cutting anybody's throat and if you ask anything about it you are told it is none of your business. I know one young woman of fifteen who has had four husbands in five months, and that gives you an idea of Mormonism. Ann Jubb came along with us across the plains, and when she got to Salt Lake there were so many men running after her that she got married, and she is the second wife, and they call her Ann Webb, but she is far from being comfortable, and would be glad to be back again. If I was in England, and any Mormon elder came to the house where/ I was, I would give him a pretty warm reception. Mormonism in England and Mormonism in Salt Lake arc as different ns chalk and cheese.

FIVE VALUABLE FAMILY MEDICINES.— Notices of which can be seen in our columns this day, and wc invite tho sick and afflicted to give them a careful perusal.—• Wc allude to Dr. Easterly's Iodine and Sarsnparilla, Dr. Carter's Cough Balsam, Dr. Easterly's Fever an£ Ague Killer, Dr. Baker's Specific and Dr. Hooper's Female Cordial. These medicines arc universally acknowledged by Physicians, Druggists, and all that have used them, to be much superior to any others now in uso. The fame of these preparations seems to bo spreading wider and wider every day, and the number of curcs which they daily perform make them indispensiblc to almost every famity.
