A Proposition from Brigham Young.

It. is said that, Brigham Voting has submitted a propositi'm to a company of capitalists to sell all his right, title and interest to Utah Te ritory, for a reasonable s> m of money, and to leave the Territory within a specified time. Some of the company are said to be in Washington, consulting wi'h the Administration. The matter lias been kept, thus far, a profound secret. They desire the aid of the Government in carrying out their praise-worthy undertaking, and it is highly probable that the Government, will lend them all the aid in its power. If it cannot be effected any oilier way, the subject will be laid before Congress at its next meeting. TV. J’. Tribune. Arrival of Seventy Fugitive Slaves in Canada. —The Detroit zlduerZiser of Saturday says: * *We learn upon reliable authority that seventy fugitive’slaves arrived in Canada by one train, from the interior of Tennessee. This is probably the largest number that ever escaped in one company. But a week before a company of twelve arrived and are now at the depot near Malden. Nearly the same time, one of seven, and another of five, safely landed on the free soil of Canada, making ninety-four in all, worth at present market price the handsome sum sf §94,000. O^7”A poor man named Neville, was convicted of murder and sentenced to be hung lor killing a scoundrel named Phillips, who committed a rape on his wife in North Carolina some weeks since. A Virginia paper thinks the Sickles precedent ought to apply with double force in this case and so will think everybody else. Sickles killed Key tor an intercourse I bat his wife consented to, . nd it is quite likely, solicited, while this poo. - ’ . ..o >w only killed his enemy on a provocat; n ;a which neither he nor his wife had any part. The Virginia Express thinks the explanation lies in the fact th it Sickles is a Congressman, and Neville an honest, man. Like enoug Millerites in Mew Jersey.— The Newark A/ercun/states that the Millerites in New Jersey expo .ed the;w rid would come to an end on faster Sunday, but have now concluded to postpone it for forty davs longer.
