TaB Evil akd the RBsrKDT.—^TUe federal governmeut soeins to be haateniug to bank- ruptuy. Ono year ago tbere vras a surplus of more than $17,000,000 in the treasury; it is susceptible of demonstration that before another fiscal year haa elapsed we ahall have a national debt of over $60,000,000, and by the close of BIr. Buchanan's administration, a debt, in all probability, exceeding $100,000,000.
Every department of the government seems to sweat corruption. Even the Cabinet sits tn .'^IMjecliless indifference under charges which lire fatal to the reputation of its members. It is the common impression brought home now from Washiugton by visitors, tltat the legisla-

1^ Tbe School Board of thc citj on last Thursday evening, settled by a vote of 21 to 10 the ve.\ed question rocuuUy raised, whether the cily teachers are to be ex¬ amined by the County Superintendent. The decision was of course m the affirma¬ tive, and iu consonance with the uniform and heretofore unquestioued action of ilie boitrd
Mr. Burrowes presented the majority re¬ port of lbe commiitee appointed to consid¬ er tbe teacbers' momorial on the subject, Tbis report was a very able and conclusive document, as might bave been anticipatetl from tho knowu ability of the author and bis thorough knowledge of tbe commou school system.
3klr. llood jjresentod an individual report, remarkable oniy for ils lengtb and absurdity.
Tbis whole difficulty, as wo bave befure intimated, arises not from any defect inthe law or uny unusual obscurity in its provis¬ ions, but from a malign influence exerted in a certain quarter upou the minds of many ofthe teachers, ciuisingtliem to feel hostile to the County Superintendent,
Tbere is one point in tliis difliculty which cannot prove otbertvise than morlirying to the citizeus of Lancasier. It is the eflbrt on the part of a portion of tho Board— claiming lo be tho especial friends of thc teachers—to secure for the citj/ teachers an excmjitlon from esaminutions or trials lo whicb countrji teachers ure subject. The inference will naturally be drawn thattbe cily teachers are not qualified to stand the scrutiny to which those of the country ave obliged to submit.
AVe believe the Legislature never in¬ tended to show any favor or partiality be¬ tween city and country—or if any dilTerence were made it would be lo establish a high¬ er standard for the city on account of bet¬ ter opportunities enjoyed by its residents to acquire knowledge. The frainers of lbe law certainly never expected fe-w from the city tban the country. If they did, wc as
tion of tbe country wj rupt influences as at this moment, these facts, a friend urges that the Republican members stop tlie supplies with wltich this current of corruption is fed. He writes; "We 'shall never get ou whilst wo supply our 'opponents with money to carr^' on tlie elec- 'tions. Our friends are awakening to this point, and begin to understand thattbey uow 'represent tbo laboring classes, who derive uo 'benefit from tho expenditure.''
There is no doubt that it is the duty of the Republicans to resist the large appropriations which aro constantly made in Congress; but our advice cannot accomplish anything. The difficulty lies further back. The state govern¬ meuts have grown so weak under the new constitutions which have been framed at the North since 184(i, and the Federal goverument has in consequence grown relatively so stroug, that we liave no longer auy state influence or state parties. We have no vigorous party tribunal beforo which to arraign and try un¬ faithful representatives, and by the aid of wbich to sustain fnitbful oues, who, iu the discharge of their duty, chanco to incur lbe displeastiro of the Administration at Wasbiiig- tdii. The represeni ative who, in striving to be honest and true to his constituents, is obliged to array himself against an admiiiistra- tiou measure, haa no reliable p.arty to fall bauk upon, aud if he is ambitious, tlie cliances will be, iu niue cases ont of len, that he will cou- cludo to treat patriotism and principle as nur- seryroom complaints, which people outgrow, as. they outgrow their liability to the measles and whooping cough. With the p-itronage now at thc disposal of the Executive, and tlte manifold temptations which it has lbe means of addre.^sitig to the' class wbo, for the most part, attjiin Congre^isioual diguity now-a-dnys, it i.s idle to a-sk or e.\pect any party to nssist, with auy ctleutive degree of unanimity, the expenditures which the goverument sets its heart upon making. No; our federal govem¬ meut has wo longer the faculty of correcting its owu evil tendencies. It has passed that point. The remedy, if there is any, must come from the states. The doctriue of state rights, about which tho democracy tvas onue so teuacious, but to which Ihey have of late years become indifferent, must be reassertt-d and maintained, the state government must be invigorated, aud party responsibility mu.st bo re-established. For a wise purpose the old party organizations were broken up. They ceased to represent principles, and tbey cm- braced men of the most opposite ojiinions. A uew crystallization has taken place—^menhave formed new political associations by virtue of common affinities, aud now we are nsady lo have them organized foracticn. For that pur¬ pose we need \}XT\.y discipline, party responsi¬ bilities, and party rewards and jiarty punish¬ ments.—N. y. Evening Post,

Congress adjourned on Monday. In the Senate a brief execotive t^ession waa held,after wbioh tbe Committee on Military Affairs waa disoharged from the consideration of thpoIu- tioua relatira to a wagon road from Fort Bt-n- tou to Missouri, to placing Forts Jefferson, aud Taylor, and Tortugas In a state of detence ; to the Noith Carolina arsenal, and Butterfleld'a primer aud Ward's firearms. Mr. Doolittle presented a resolutiou instructing the Commit¬ tee on Foreign Relations to inqnire into the expediency of acquiring by treaty in Yucatan, Central or South America, the rights of citizen¬ ship for such free negroes as may emigrate thither from the United States, we in return tu be obliged to protect such colonies. Tbe pnst office appropriation bill was taken up, aud tho amendment relative to tbe franking privi¬ lege debated. The Senate agreed to the re¬ port of tbe Conference Committee, and receded from its amendments aboh'shing tbe franking privilege and increasing the rate of postage, so tbe bill passed. The session of botb bouses was, by resolution, extended throngh both morning and afternoon, the adjournment sine die takiug place at G o'clock,P.M. The Senate uuaniiiiously adopted a resolution offered by Mr. Seward, tendering thanks to the Vice Prea- idwut for tbe dignity and impartiality with which be bad presided. A joint committee of boih bouses waa appointed to wait on the President to inform bim that Congress was ready to adjourn.

THE QUESTION SETTLED.—At the Uflfc| meeting of the City School Board, the lonK dis¬ puted queftion nfl to the juriiidictloQ ofthe Cuun¬ ty Superintendent over the Common Schools of the oity was nettled by a very deoirive vote in favor of the jurisdiction.

In tbe House a message was reoeived from tbe President, announcing that be had ap" proved the bills for tbe supplemental and de- fiuency ludian expenses , for tbp establisment of post routes ; for tbe transportation of. mails by oce.in steamships ; for tho civil espeuses of the government; for thfi support of the anuy; for the Hxpense of collecting tbe cu?toina rev¬ enue ; for a military road from Astoria to Salem, and several others ofa private charac¬ ter. With a vie'w of reconciling the differeu- Cos betweeu tbe two Houses on tbe post office apprniirialion bill, Mr. .1. (ilancy Jonea moved for a ifi!On.-iideratiou of the vote by which that bill was laid on tliH tabln. TJii.s carried, and a third coinmitteeof couferenoc was appointed. Tlie House foumirred in the rejjort of the last committee of conferonne on the po.-^t office ap¬ propriation bill, the Seuate having receded from all its amendmeuta. The bill -granting peusiona to the officers audsoldier.-i of the war of 1S12 was made the special order for the second Tuesday of December next. A mes¬ sage was.. received from tbe President, an¬ nouncing tbat he bad signed tbe Post OlGce appropriation bill.
1st. No political discussion whatever will be permitted.
2ud. Boys will not be permitted to remain , on the grounds unless accompanied by their parents or guatdlana.
3d. No intoxicated persons will be permitted to remain on the grounds.
Thus it seems tbat at Washington political discussion is regarded aa a nuisance to be classed with unruly boys, emancipated from parental control, and drunken rowdies. The temperament of politicians must be more ex¬ citable there tbau in our colder northern clime, for political discussions with us are not apt to lead to breaches of the peace. The propria" tors are doubtlesa right, with a view to tbe main chance, to exclude politics from tbeir grounds, for in Washington, where there ia such a constant glut of political discussion, a quiet mau iu search of amusement would be Very unlikely to go to a spot wbere he would

LoTTBRiE.s.-The public were probably wholly unaware of the extensive ramifications of tbo lottery system in the United States, until the recent aud commendjible efforts of tbe Mayor of Kew York called geueral attention lo tbe subject. Tbe evils of even fairly conducted lotteries have beeu fouud so great, that iu most countries tbey have beeu suppressed by law. Hut tho lotteries which have been broktju up by the active estirtions of the Kew York Slayor were only lotteries in name. Tht^y were a knavish device to obtain mouey, and their suc¬ cess shows tbe extent to which the passion for sudden acquisition of wealth pervades the public uiiiul. Alluring schemes were sent out by thousands and tens of thousands all over the couutry. Tbe needy, the hopeful, and the unwary, eagerly inve.sted their money in tickets; but uo prizes were ever awarded, because no drawings ever took place. By this system of swindUng, we are told that meu iu v.trious parts of the couutry have accumulated fortune.!. One llnn of lottery dealoi-s, at Augusta, in tJeorgia, it is said, were receiving, at the time tbey wore arrested, nearly tboasand dollars a week from their uuthinkiug dupes. But uotwithstaiiding sucli systematic and carefully contrived villainy, the probability is that these men will, in some way or other, escai)e punishment. The community, how¬ ever, bave beeu put npon their guard, and if they will continue to throw away their money upon knaves aud swindlers, they merit no other seutinient tban contempt.

Countv Oo.wk.stion.—From tbe call at tho bead of tbis column it will be seen that a Oouuty Convention representing all the opponents of tbe national Administration will be held in tbis city on Wednesday, the 30tb of June, for tbe purpose of electing delegates to represent Ibis couniy in the State Conventiou.
Tbo elections for dolegalos in tbe town¬ ships, boroughs and wards will be beld on Saturday, June 2G, ut tbe usual bours.
Each district will elect three delegates.

A letter from Washington says: " Advices from tbe Administratiou Conven¬ tion at Springfield, Illinois, received here this mnrninv:, state tbat John DoughDiiy has btjun nominated ftir State Trea.surer, and John Rey¬ nolds for Superintendent of Public Schools. Tbey were anti-Nebraska men in IS54, and therefore are appropriate leaders in their pres ent capacity, illustrating, ns thuy do, that in politics, as iu other Ibings, extr«ines ofteu meet. The special significance of these nomi¬ nations is coutatu«d iu tbe fact that they rep¬ resent a personal hustility to Judge Douglas, aa emphatic and expressive as auy tesolntiuns or declarations tbat could be possibly pas-ed. "A large portion of the convention withdrew, and it w.ts understood tbat of tho.'^e who re¬ mained quite balf would holt the nominations. At the date of tbe dispatch, one Carpentpr—a disbursing agent of the government, who is somewhat notorious—was addressing tbe eon- vention, aud protesting that Douglas ahouldbe defeated, even if tbe Re[iublicaus triumphed. An adventurer, named Leib, claiming to bail from Pennsylvania, who is now a general U. S. mail agent, has openly proclaimed through¬ out Illinois tbat Judge Douglas must be defeat¬ ed at all hazards, and tbat every postmaster will be removed who does not vote either the Administration or Repubbcan ticket. This Leib is said tohave beeu a Mormon, and in a report made to the Senate two years ago, in the Topeka Convention, his name figures as one of the leaders ofthe DanitH gang in Kansa.'?, which waa believed to be headed by the equal¬ ly, if not more infamous, "Jim Lane." He is now acting in a becoming sphere of usefulness, con.sid»;ring these antecedents."

Deatus hv Dkowsiso.—At tbis seasou of tbe yenr wo usually hear of numerous instan¬ ces of drowning, and this city is no exception to the melancholy frequency of the occurrence^ Yesterday we recorded an instance of a youug la:l who was drownded on Saturday, and to day we bave another. These instances mostly ^:ur while bathing, and tbe sufferers are geu¬ erally bo.vs or young men. Dr. Arnott, in his El**uiBijts of Physio, strti'.s thw following reas- ous why, in ordinary accidents, so mauy persons are drownded wbo might easily have been saved:
1. Their believing thai tbe body is heavier than Water; and therefore thatcontioued exer tioii is necessary to keep them swimming. Now as a mau cannot retain tbe swimming po.sitiou witliout continued exertion, the body raised for a momeut above the natural level, sinks as far below it when the exertion ceases; and the plunge by appearing the commencc- iiiHUt of a pertuaneut siukiug, terrifies the unpracticed individual aud renders him an pa.sier victim to bis fate.

From a fear that water, by entering the ears, may drown, as if entered by tbn nose or tnouth, a wasteful exertion of strength is made to prevent it; the truth lieiug, however, tbat it can only fill the outer ear, or so far as tbe membrane of tbe drum, and is therefore, of no I'onsequence. Every diver aud swimmer has bis ears filled with impunity.

Woman's Hbkoism.—In tbe course of a re¬ eent speech in Congress by the Uon. Joseph Lane of Oregon, on the paymeut of the Oregon and Washiugton war debt, be related the fol¬ lowing incident whiob occurred iu the Indian war of Oregon:
*' While in Oregon last summer, I took occa¬ sion to inquire of the chief, who was mainly instrumental in getting up this war, to learn tbe particulars of tbe fate of some of our peo¬ plo who disappeared in tbat war of 1850, and of whom we had been able to learn noihing.— When 1 suggested to the agent, in the council, that I proposed to iuquire the fate of Mrs. Wagner, Mrs. Uayues, and others, he was in¬ clined to think it would raise tbe bitter feelings of tbe Indians, but said tbat we could make tbu inquiry. I told bim that I had passed through the couutry where these people bad lived, and that tbeir friends were very anxious lo learn their fate. We inquired in relation to Mrs. Wagner, who was a well educatpd and handsome woman from New York, wno bad Lived loug iu tbe country, and spoke the ludian tongue fiuently. Sbe kept a public house by the roadside, aud tbe good cheer wbich she always furnished made it a place where travel¬ ers delighted to stop. The Indians informed us tbat on the moruing of the 9tb of October thoy came iu sight of the house, where they met some teamsters aud packers, a portion of whom tbey murdered, destroying the wagons aud cargoes, as well as tbe animals, while she was standiug in the door. As soou as tbey bad murdered tbe people out doors, they came towards the bouse, wbicb was strongly built ol liewu logs, and had a heavy door, which fast¬ ened witb cross bars. Wheu she saw them muniiig towards tbe liouse, she shut tbe door aud dropped the bars to preveut their^breaking iu. They came to the door, and ordered ber to come out, and briug out her Uttle girl. She said * Ho.' Her huabiiuJ was absent—and, by tbe way, be was tbe ouly mau ou tho road wbo escaped. Tbey said tbat if she did not come out they would shoot ber. She decliued ; aud after some deliberation, tbey determined to set the house on fire. Tbe bouse was directly en- velopf d iu fiames ; and the chief, who \vatched through a little wiudon', told us that be saw her^go lo the glass and arrange her hair, then take her seat in the middle of tbe room, fold her little girl in her arms, and wait calmly un¬ til the roof fell iu, aud they perished in the flames together. And the statement was con¬ firmed by tbe people, who found their remains lying together in tbe middle of tbe house."

bave governments fouud it to the industry, habits aud morals of their subjects, that they have, m)ve or less, interposed to repress it- extiipale it they eould not. It is equally true tbat govenimeuts have stimulated aud en¬ couraged this p;iiisioii. Englaud, in'various periods of her bislory, has in.stituted state lotteries .ts a means of raising rcveime. Tbey were conducted by the government, and large prizes were distributed. Tbe nobility and gentry eagerly bought tickets, and eveu Lord Chatham, the most incorrupt public man of bis time, did not scruple to reward the ad¬ herence of needy members of Parlimont by giving them chances iu the lottery. Horace Walpole in one of his letters tells with evident gusto of bis drawing £500. Mary Wortley Montiguc, while Uving in Italy, writes and thanks one of her friends for bis kindness in making investments for ber in tbo lottery.
The system of slate lotteries was carried on for a long time in France, and is still carried ou by Spain, Uamburg, Tuscany, and the States of Rome. The lottery at Ilav.ina with- dniws ever>' year fi'om this country an im¬ mense sum. An attempt was made at the last session of the Legislature of Louisiana to establish a lottery in tbat State, and one of tbe arguments employed was, that it would be the means of retaming at home three-quarters ofa milliou per a nnum, which is now sent abroad in the purchase of tickets.
Tbe experience of England, Prance and tbe United States, is decisive as lo the injurious effects of lotteries. The Congress that declared our iudependance, tbe Congress of 177G, in¬ stituted a national lottery. Many of tbe States followed their example, Pennsylvania continued the .sysleut down to a comparatively recent period. Aud, it hns been found, in tbis couutry as in France aud England, that what¬ ever diverts men from settled pursuits, and educates tbem to rely upon their hopes instead of their industry, tends inevitably to the impoverishment and demoralization of the community. Tbis is the effect of even fairly conducted lotteries. Fraudulent lotteries are attended with the same mischief, and aro unredeemed by eveu a possible benefit.
The State Agricultural Society for tbe pres¬ eut year, will, as our readers are doubtlesa geuerally aware, be held at Pittsburg on tbe last days of September. It may iuterest our agricultural frieuds to know tbat a tborough revision of tbe premium list is in progress by a competent Committee—who expect to com¬ plete tbeir labors, and have them ready for publication dnring this month—thus giving parties an opportunity to judge of its merits in go<id Sfa.ion. A new feature of sweep¬ stakes for large displays will be introdnced, and several apecial premiums offered for stock of high blood and of domestic breeding, while all importations for purposes of improvement will be liberally and fairly dealt witb. The various railroads centering at Pittsburg, will, as heretofore, discriminate in favor of all arti¬ cles intended for exhibition which may pass over their respective roads, so that with good reason it is that our friends of the "Iron City" felicitate themselves ou the prospect of a cred¬ itable State Exhibition.
rntelligeuce has been received at tbe Depart¬ ment of State, from Mr, Reed, our Minister at Cliina. He will probably return home hj tbe overland route in September. Life on .ship board exclusively, within sight of land, and witb a mission to fulfil, is not particularly iuvitiug, aud the delays of Chinese diplomacy, do no' give mucb promise ofa speedy solution of the important matters which bave engaged the attention of three great nations. Mr. Reed has been actively enlisted in the suppression of the Coolie trade, treating it as involving the s-tms principles as the slave traflio. Tbis pre¬ sents an important question here, which has jidt to be considered by tbe Cabinet, before adopting the positive policy of our able aud effieieut minister. The Administration is qiiite satisGed with tbe manner in which Mr. Reed has represented the conutry, and it roay Well he : for among our whole diplomatic corps witbout making a single exception, there is nnt a man wbo compares with himiuintellect, grasp, astuteness, or address, for such a posi¬ tion. This is acknowledged and felt on all sides.
Cheap Huuas Labok.—Upon tUe question of cheap humau labor depends tbe contest for supremacy between the North and tbe Soutb. A correspondent from Missouri, writing to another paper, speaks of this contest:
"The Germau element iu the population of Missouri is becoming uow a most important one in determining the destiuies uf tbe State. The German shopkeeper, mechanio aud mer¬ chant are crowding oue part of St. Louis, and already form a populatiou of nearly 75,000.— The Germau pua.-^ant vine-dressers aud farmers are settling all over tbe hillsides and beautiful valleys of tbo interior, wbich tbe American pioneer bad neglected for the rich river bot¬ toms. Villages spring up where one hears no lauguage day after day but the language of old Fatherland. Germau Judges of tho Peace are appoiuted in some of tbe counties, newspapers are publijdied. Jaws printed, notices posted, school books issued all iu this foreigu tongue. Tbe best agriculture of tbe couutry is failing into tbe hands of this busy tborough people. Slavery melts away before the free Teutonic industry. The slave-holders find themselves competed with on the market, uudersold and outatripped in the yield of arable lauds. They sell their worn out fields to these intrusive foreigners, and emigrate witb their negroes in disgust to Texas. Besides, as a Germao well explained to me, the slave is becoming too expensive an instrument of labor. A healthy negro man costs now in Missouri some $1,200. Capital is wortb bere at least 10 per cent., so tbat his cost to lhe owner without reckoning in all the expenses ofhis food, clotbing, medi¬ cine, aud shelter, is $120 per annum. Tben there must be added to tbis tbe cost of his abseut or sick days, his "sulkiness," (wbicb is, you kuow, a disease in the medical books,) bis teudeuoy to the "drapeto mania," (to run away,) and bis general disposition to shirk or do badly, work in wbich he has no inttrest.— Now, agaiust all tbese expenses aud annoy¬ ances, tbe sum of $100 will procure the ser¬ vices for the year to tbo new settler of a free, intelligeut, efficient, careful German laboror, who takes care of himself and bas no sulks.

The Pittsburgh correspondent of tbe Cin¬ cinnati Price Current, under date of June 5, reports ns fallows of the egg trade of tbat section:
"The receipts of pggs for shipment East, at tbis port, from .Tanuary 1 to June 1, by river, railroad and Adam's Express, were 19,961 barrels, or 20,000 barrels iu round numbers. The receipts now are falling off, but are still kept up to a considerable extent. The activity in this trade throughout Central Ohio has been remarkable. Wooster, Canton, Masillon and Mansfield appear to have been the great shipping points, and their papers brag no little abont tbe facts.
" The shipmeuts of eggs from Ohio in other directions were even more active tban through here. I have seen statements in Cleveland papers that tbe receipts were at the rate of (3,000 barrels a week, and this would indicate a much greater total than onr figures do.—> Counting all tbe shipments, both East and South, 1 think it is no exaggeration to saythat Ohio will this year send 2()0,000 barrels of eggs to market."

News buoh Utah.—We bave abundance of accounts from Salt Lake, botb by way of San Francisco and St. Lonis. According to the correspondent of the N. Y. Times, the Mor- mons are strongly in favor of compromise, op¬ posed to moving,_^but are nevertheless doing so. Tbe order for a movement to tbe White moun¬ tains had been countermanded, and they were ordered lo concentrate around Filmore city.— On tbe other hand, tbe Tribune correspondent says that the Mormons are to "make a final stand at Prove city. On pretence of protect¬ ing the new Govemor from auuoyauce, the Mormon Chiefs have surrounded him with a guard, wbo keep off everybody, though many are anxious to speak with him. A letter, re¬ ceived in California from a Mormon in Salt Lake city, says that the Mormons are ordered to move soutb of Prove, and that SaU Lake city is to be vacated and burnt immediately, in order that Gen. Johnson may not establish a military post there. A party of forty-two men had arrived in tbe frontier of California from Johnson's command, to which they had belonged as farmera or teamsters, and having tbe privilege offered them of remaining with tho army as regulars, or lo be discharged at Fort Bridger, they accepted the latter, aud weut to California. They report tbat two hundred and fifty teamsters bad enlisted a.s volunteers. The various tribes of Indians had entirely aban¬ doned the Mormons, and had shown their hos¬ tility by carrying on a system of plundering since the Sght of the Mormons commenced.— When tbe teamsters left Salt Lake, tbey were joined by one hundred apostate Mormons, who, with hundreds of othere, had the assurance given them, that they could leave after set¬ tling their dues to the church.

I have advised Smalley to withdraw the article and make aatisfactory explanation, which he has neglected to do, therefore it becomes my duty in self defence, to reply. I unhesitatingly pronounce it a base fabrication, a foul slander, utterly de.tU tnte of truth and beneath the dignity of a gentle man.

What his object in, I oonnnl cmi cfive—frmn thr Bviil»-n<:e I have :ibi>wn you. it must be evident to you that he i.-t lost to hia own true interest.—Mr. Smalley may be well repre¬ sented by a certain character found in .^sop's fabtes, under tbe title ofthe vain Jwckdaw.

Excitement.—A horrible mnrder waa commit¬ ted on Tuesday iu tbe townof Mill River Point, Macomb county, near tbe line of this county. It appears tbat two brothers and a sister were living in that town. They were French. Tbe two brothers appeared at tbe house of the neighbor, living some tbree or four miles dis¬ tant, at about twelve o'clock night beforo last, and awakened tbem.
Upon arising, be found tbe two men in a strange condition. They were both naked, and had bands of straw tied around their waists. With this exception, tbere was noth¬ ing upon tbeir bodies. Tbey said tbey wanted shelter and assistance, ai* people were after tbem, and were about to take tbem. Being asked why, tbey said tbat tbey had killed their sister. The story was not credited, and Ihey were taken in and placed in au upper room, whicb was well guarded, as tbeir actions exci¬ ted suspicions of insanity,
Y'esterday morning the farmers iu the neigh¬ borhood gathered together and went to tbe house of the brothers, and tbere met a most horrible sight. They found tbe mangled body ol tbe young girl, stripped naked and laying in a wagon which stood in the road near the bouse. In the house was fimod a man who bad nearly lost his life in defence of the girl.— His name is Defair, which is all tbat we have respecting bis case. Tbe house presented all the traces ofa desperate struggle, in whicb tbe young girl had been murdered and then drag¬ ged out doors. Her hair was then cut off close to her head by these mad fiends, and she was tben thrown into a wagon in tbe barnyard, which was then drawn around to where it was found. Her breast was full of guusbot wonnds, and her face was cut up in an undistinguisha- ble mass of gashes. Sbe was then left in her blood, while the murderers sought the neigh- bors-
The murderers act like insane men, but have not been previonsly known as such; and how two persous could thus become insane at a moment's notice, and commit so horrible a deed is a mystery. They said that they were prompted by God lo kill her because she per¬ sisted in going to churcli every Sunday, and asserted that they made three attempts before they accomplished it. The opinion of tbe in¬ habitants of the vicinity is that the insanity is a religious one. If any insanity exists, this is probably tbe trae cause, but it may be only a cloak to cover up a diabolical deed and escape its consequences.
Cairo, at the junction of the Ohio and Missis_ sippi rivers, has been overflowed by the great floods in these streams, and nearly all the houses destroyed. This was caused hy a crevasse in the levee of the Mississippi, through whicb tho wator poured. Tbe bouses were undermined and tumbling down or drifting away. Scarcely a building in the city was expected to stand tbe flood. Tbe water was two and a balf feet deep iu the second story of the Taylor House.

If he stops plowing and betakes himself to dig¬ ging, be will probably waste the lump he now has and never see another. It is quite clear that tbe plow is tbe proper implement fo^ gold-digging in Iowa—and almost everywhere else.

migration was first started about the middle of of Marcb, at which time Young issued a circular calling upon tbe people of Salmon River, Ogden, Brownsville, Suttler's Comer, Box Elder, indeed all tlie settlors north of Salt Lake City, as well aa the inhabitants of tbat city itself, to vacatu tb>;ir bntous and remove witb tbeir families and goods to tbo soutb- arn district of the Territory, tb<;r« to await further orders. Tbis command appears to have been tu full courae of exf'Ctttion on tbe arrival of Gov. Cumming, nor does that event aeem to have put any material stop to it.— Brigbam's circular recommended that a certain number of men be left to tak« caro of the property, and to secure tbe (growing crops if possible; hut sbould they not be able to do so, tbey Wero to bum ami dtistroy everything, rather than bave it fall into tbe bands of the invading Gentile.-!. According to the fiovi oraor's account, there would appear to I/e uof only a rea^lioesa but an alacrity to exticute the«o ordera. The pi-ople take with them their proviMitHiH—of wbii;h they are said to I- poHHerfrtrt a HulFicitjucy fur two yuam—their ,;, c;attle, th»;ir bous»;boId gooda—in fact, alltheir movable posHtjaaions, »jveu lu the lUmrA and windowri of tbeir houaea.
Not nier«ly antipathy to tlof prw.^ence of the troopa iu their Bettl^menta, and lo the idea, aa the Govemor writes, ol' Iwing trieij l.y "juries "composed of teamsters and follower.-i of tbo "camp," but apprebensiou.s also nf Indian outrages, had contributed to this movement. Shortly before it commenced news had arrived of an attack by the Indiaus on the detached settlement of Salmon River, eatahlisbed last j Summer by Brigham Young, three buudred ! miles north of Salt Lake City, the killing of ¦ several of tbe settlers andthe driving oif their I cattle. Other Indian depredations to a serious exleut, especially in the stealiug of cattle, had been of lale committed in the valley itself— depredations which the Mormons believed to have been occasioned by the presence of tbe army iu their neighborhood, if uot to have been directly instigated from the camp. It was anpposed tbat Brigham Yonng aud tbe migrating Mormons would make their first rendezvous iu the valley of San IVte, about a hundred and fifty miles south-east from Salt Lake City toward the Rio Colorado. Other accouuts mentioned Parowan, about a hundred miles further in the same direction. Tbere are several thriving settlements in theso valleys; but the amonut of tillable landis quite limited, enthely insufficient for the whole numberof Mormons, so that their stoppage there could ouly be temporary. Gnv. l.'umniiui; thinks fiom some hints drnjiped by Biigbam Voting that Souora is their ultimate destination.— Doubtless lbe movement will be entirely gov¬ erned by lhe cnurse of events. Tbere cau be little doubt that Youug po.sses::es influence enough wllb tht; great butk of bis followers to induce them tu go whetevcr he plt?:L-ie.i. The very small uuiubernf lifly six men and thirty- three womeu, who have registered iheUlSelves uuder Gov. Cumming's notice lo Ibat elTect,:is desirous of his assistauce aud pmiection in proc*ieiling to the Stales, shows tbe streuglh of Brigham Youuji's bold upon bis ilisciples. It wonld appear that. Dr. Forney, who.i'' commissioned as Superiiiteudeut of ludian Affairs for Utah, h:td proceeded to Siill Lake City to join Gov. Cumiuiug. Chief Justice Eckles aud Marshal Dotson leuiained at the last accounts in the camp. From the Gover¬ nor's reference, in his dispatch to Mr. C:iss, to ** juries composeii of teamsters awl fnllntvfrs of the camp," au evideut slur at tbe indict- meuls found last winter agaiust Brigham Young aud others, tbere is probably no co¬ incidence of opinion betweeu tbem. It would appear that Echo Canon aud the other passes ofthe eastern frontier were still occupied by parties of armed Mormon.-s, but the Governor states that he bas taken measures to cause their withdrawal, and also to protect the buildings and other improvements of the abandoned northern settlements.
Tbe latest accouuts contain no mention of the movements or wbereabouts of Col. Kane* The Peace Commissioners, who--ie otfice ap¬ pears likely to prove a sinecure, were at Fort Laramie ou tha ISth of May, and expected to reach Camp Scott about the end of the month, by which time, or a little later, Gov. Gum¬ ming will also have retumed to the camp. From the closing sentence of Gov Cummiug's dispatch, we conclude that he is vested with a discretionary command over tbe movement of the troops, and that be will retain tbem at Camp Scott until be hears from the President. This will no doubt be a severe disappoint¬ ment to the troops, though with SaU Lake City bumed to the ground and the country deserted, they wonld scarcely be better off there than iu their present quarters, while Brigham Young and his people at San Pete or Parowan would be as much out of reach as they are uow at SaU Lake City.

Tbe correspondenctr was such as to fix clearly upon the parties the prufessiou of abortionists. They came from all parts of tbe country—from males and females, niarn'«d aud single, lettered and wholly illiterate. Some of tbem are written npnn a tinted paper iu beau¬ tiful penmanship, while others contain miser¬ able, misspelled, scrawls. All, however, appear to hnve enclosed remittances in sums ol con¬ siderable amount. Among the uames of the writers we recognize one wbo is tbe wife of a merchant in Lancaster, nne tbe daughter of a Bank President iu another town, one from a mercham who, it appears, bas a patient of bis own, and scores of others from eqnally misc^-l- laueous sources. The parties who wrote these letters will doubtless move heaven and earth to prevent exposure, aud to save these wretches from punishment; hut.everyono of tbem ought to be niade puhiic, to check, if possible, such infamous crimes.

Searcu Fon HionEN Tueasdke.—Tbe Yar mouth. Register reports that a week or two since a party from the vicinity of Boston, came down to Truro completely equipped with spades,pike3anddiviningrods,audcommenc'^d digging on the beach on tbe backside of the Cape for buried treasures.

Tuk Romance of Quackkrv.—^The Knglish papers relate au incident in that country whicb doubtless has many parallels in the United States, though they do uot, in this broad land hecotiie so publii; as they would in a .'imaller territory. The tads m tbi--j ca^e were as fel¬ lows :—
Jobn Glen an illiterate yonng man, wbo had beeu engaged as a cleaner of clocks, in August last, became ambitious of greater wealth and distinction tban he could achieve in this em¬ ployment. He therefore tunied doctor and and vender of medicines. HaudbJ!l» were therefore extensively circulated, announcing the advent of Dr. Willougbby, frnm the Botani¬ cal College, Baltimore, Uuited States, and he soon obtained so successful a business that he bad two medical establi.shments, one at Due- dee and the other at Ediuburg.
In September he made love to and married one of his patients, a youug lady nameil -lean Sinclair, of an old and respectable family, pcs- sessed of a ban-lsome property at the village of Guardbridge, in Tifsbire.
Previnus to tbiri. however, thb doctor had iulrodut-ed to the Sinclairs a y<iuug lady a:i bis sister, Miss .les?ie Willougb'hy. 'The* doctor and .lean drove to Sl. .Andrews to get the niar- ri;ii:e bands proclaimed,and being .iccnmpauied by Miss .lessie and David Siiiehtir, .lean's broth¬ er, it was ariaii.ued, at thc suggestitm of the doctor, that this pair shouM also givtj iu their unnies. In due cnursi" both cnuples were married.
Dr. Willoughby au>l hi? wife removed to Dunfcriitline, where th.'y e.-'tahli.-hed a public hon?o; David and .Te.-sii,'remained at liuar.l- hritke, and all seeui.-i for a little while to have gone nn smoothly.
Cue tine morning, bowev.'r, David u-a? wait¬ ed upon by a ct-Ttaiii )ilr. .AII.-op. lie too had travelled the country as a doctor, and had been a friend of Glen's uutil, a dispute arir^ing between tbem, Gleu gave bim a sound heating, and they parted comp.iny. Anxious lo reji.ay thi.-f trilling debt, Allsop now lold David .'Sin¬ clair whathe kuew of Glen's history, inrorni- ing bim also that tbe lady wbo now reji'ii-ed in lhe title of Mrs. Sinclair was not the si.-ier of Glen, but that her real name wa.=; Jt'>.-ie IJu¬ chanan, and that sbe and (ih-n h»d lived to¬ gether for several years as man and wife.
The news led to high word? between Davi.l aud .lessie. Kepro.icheil by ber new imriband, she bethnught herself of i-hiiiiiing lu-r Iirst love, aud, with tbis view, proiri-edeil m Dnn- fennline. But the doctor would have nothing to s.iy tn her, and Jessie, to be reveinrcd on alt parties, went lo the Se^stnn Clerk^nt" r^t. Andrews, aiul comniunicated the fraud they had commilled. The result wa.s tlial tbe Worthy pair were appiehende.l, and were, cu the fith of this inniiih, tiieil und convicted of the ollence of cansing false eiitrie-s to be iiKi'le in tbe register of marriages, and rei-eived sen¬ tence—he of eighteen niontbs, and she of twelve months' imprisoimieiit.
