FRANK M. IIEATON, Sec'y. 47-3w.

tS?"A number of ladies of Chenango, New York, recently entered a milliner's store kept by a widow, and demolished her stock in trade and beat her severely.— The cause was, that the lady was more attractive than her bonnets, and that their husbands had more business at the establishment than seemed necessary.

S6?"They have a dramatic society at Lebanon, in this State, who propose to •live an exhibition, and apply the proceeds to the purchase of a town-clock. In the "opinion of competent judges, their performances can not be excelled in the State." So say the Lebanon papers. We suppose they will give Richard No. 3 for the opening exhibition.

®3?"Another swindle has been detected in Wisconsin. This time it is the Milwaukee and Superior Railroad Company.— The company has issued $525,000 of stock, and not a dollar in cash was paid in by the Company. Tho farmers, who were induced to buy the bonds through false representations, are the principal sufferers.

SMALL BILL'S EPITAPII.—The small bill law is already inoperative, and totally disregarded in monetary transactions. It died suddenly, or it would have aptly said "f in?e 7 or am rlono for.

wheat crop is said to be seri

ously iniured by the fly in Washington, Knox, Gibson and Clay counties Indiana. The wet weather is also rusting the wheat badly, in many localities. tSfA careful estimate of the persons of Indian blood, indicates that they now number five millions in all North America.

f^TThere are many women who abandon their opinion the moment their husbands adopt it. Even in church the women sing an octave higher than the men, in order not to agree with them in anything. l&*There is no foundation for tho current rumor, that Mr. Tan«y thinks of re. signing the Chief Justiceship* His health is about as nsual for years past.

PRESIDE5T BUCHAJIAN'S PROCLAMATION TO THE JIORMOl*". Whereas, the Territory of Utah was settled by certain emigrants from the States and from foreign countries, who have for several years past manifested a spirit of insubordination tc the* constitution and laws of the United States, the great mass of those'settlers, acting under the influence of leaders to whom they seem to have surrendered their judgment, refuse to be controlled by any other authority. They have been often advised to obedience, and these friendly counsels have been answered with defiance. Officers of the federal government have been driven from the Territory for no offense but an effort to do their sworn duty. Others have been prevented from going there by threats of assassination.— J.idges have been violently interrupted in the performance of their functions, and the records of the courts have been seized, and either destroyed or concealed. Many other acts of unlawful violence have been perpetrated, and the right to repeat them lias been claimed by the leading inhabitants, with at least the silent acquiescence of nearly all the others. Their hostility to the lawful government of the country has at length become so violent that no officer bearing a commission from the Chief Magistrate of the Union can enter the Territory or remain there with safety and all the officers recently appointed have been unable to go to Salt Lake or anywhere else in Utah beyond the immediate power of the army. Indeed such is believed to be the condition to which a strange system of terrorism has brought the inhabitants of that region, that no one among them could express an opinion favorable to this government, or even propose to obey its laws, without exposing his life and property to peril.

After carefully considering this state of affairs, and maturely weighing the obliga tion 1 was under to ace the laws faithfully executed, it seemed to me right and proper that I should make such use of the military force at my disposal as might be necessary to protect the federal officers in going into the Territory of Utah, and in performing their duties there. I accordingly ordered a detachmeutof the army to march for the city of Salt Lake, or within rcach of that placc, and to act in case of need as a posse for the enforcement of the laws.— But, in the meantime, the hatred of that misguided people for the just and legal authority of the government had become so intense that they resolved to measure their military strength with that of the Union. They have organized an armed force, far from contemptible in numbers, and trained it, if not with skill, at least with great assiduity and perseverance. While the troops of the United States were on their march, a train of baggage wagons, which happened to be unprotected, was attacked and destroyed by a portion of the Mormon forces, and the provisions and stores with which the train was laden were wantonly burnt. In short, their present attitude is one of decided and unreserved enmity to the United States and to all their loyal citizens. Their determination to oppose the authority of the government by military force has not only been expressed in words, but manifested in overt acts of the most unequivocal character

Fellow-citizens of Utah, this is rebellion ainst the Government to which you owe allegiance. It is levying war against the United States, and involves you in the guiit of treason. Persistence in it will bring you to condign puuislnncnt, to ruin and shame for it is mere madness to suppose that, with your limited resources, you can successfully resist the forces ot this great and powerful nation.

If you have calculated on the forbearance of the United States—if you have permitted yourselves to suppose that this Government will fail to put forth its strength and bring you to submission—3*011 have fallen into a grave mistake. You have settled upon territory which lies geographically in the heart of the Union. The land j'ou live upon was purchased by the United States and paid for out of their treasury. The proprietary right and title to it is in them, and not in you. Utah is bounded on every side by States and Territories whose

This rebellion is not merely a violation of your legal duty it is without just cause, without reason, without excuse. You never made a complaint that was not listened to with patience

You never exhibited a

your

own welfare and

happiness.-

But being anxious to save the effusion of blood, and to avoid the indiscriminate punishment of a whole people for crimes of which it is not probable that all are

equally guilty, I offer now a full and free pardon to all who will submit themselves to the authority of the Federal Government. If you refuse to accept it, let the conseqwcnces fall upon yonr own hoads.— But I conjure you to pause deliberately and reflect well before you reject this tender of peace and good will.

Now, therefore, I, James Buchtnan, President of the United States, have tho't proper to issue this, my proclamation, enjoining upon all the public officers in tho Territory of- Utah, to be diligent and faithful, to the full extcntof their power, in the execution of the laws, commanding all citizens of the United States in aaid Territory to aid and assist the officers in the performance of their duties offering to the inhabitants of Utah, who shall submit to the laws, a free pardon for the seditions and treasons heretofore by them committed, warning those who shall persist, after notice of this proclamation, in the present rebellion against the United States, that they must expect no further lenity, but look to be rigorously dealt with, according to their deserls, and declaring that the military forces uow in Utah, and hereafter to bo sent there, will not bo withdrawn until tho inhabitants of that Territory shall manifest a proper sense of the duty which they owe to this Government.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed to these presents. 1 L. s.] Done at the city of Washington, the sixth day of April, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight, and of the Independence of the United States the eightysccond.

NOVEL MUTIIOI) PltliVENT POTATO ROT. Some Belgian boys, a few years since, for amusement, inserted some peas into potatoes and planted them. The result was an unusual yield of peas, and a crop of tubers perfectly sound, though in a field where the potatoes were badly affccted.,— Acting on the hint, Mr. Jackson, of Leeds, Eng., developed the theory that the pgtato, being deficient in nitrogen, would receive an equivalent of that article from tho pea, during the time of growing, and so its tendency to disease would be conteracted. He then tried the experiment inserting four or five peas into each potato, carefully avoiding injury to the eyes, and then planting in the usual way. The result was perfect success—an unusual yield of both peas and potatoes, and the latter perfectly free from disease. The tubers were found healthy the next spring, and were again planted with the same results.—N. IV Post.

TTUE FOR ONCE.—A traveler announces as a fact (and, though he is a "traveler," we believe him,) that he once in his life beheld people "minding their own business." This remarkable occurrence happened at sea—the passengers being "too sick" to attend to each other's concerns.

It prevails aa far as I heard from. hat is still more strange, the buzzards and carrion crows have also disappeared. It is a common remark that none are to be seen.
