o. A desperate affIay took place in
Nashville, (Tenn. on the End ult. be-
tween an editor named Wilson, and Gen,
Mabry, 10 which the former was seriously
wounded by pistol ball. Mabry, was
arrested, and held to bail, in the sum Of
$40, O0O.- At late Temperance Meet.
ing in London, one Of the speakers pre-.
sented a statement OF the number of per.
sons seen to enter fourteen public houses
in different parts Of the city. Those who
entered one house alone were l42 ,458
males, 1O8. 500 females, and 1891 chill.
dren, making total Of 269 ,438 visiters
to one gin.shop within the week. On the
Sabbath day, there were seen to enter one
gin-shop l, 440 men, $50 women and 1S9
children, making 2, 465 visitors to one gin.
shop on the Sabbath day. The average
numbers of weekly visiters to innrtaen pub
lie houses was 10, IT'S men, 1856 women,
and 1913 children, the total average be-
ing 9,24S, and the daily average was g..
743.-A correspondent of the New Or
leans Bee, details the particulars Of the
horrid bu,chery oftwo unknown individ-
uals, in the parish Of Yves. Feliciana, en-
the margin Of the mississippi, near the
habitation of Mr.. Moore, on Cat Island.
From their description it appears that
they were genteelly clad, & supposed to
be from Kentucky, or the neighborhood.
One of the victims had thirteen s,abs 10
the back and breast; the other twelve
stabs; both their heads were so horribly
cut and disfigured that no remains could
be discovered which could lead to their
recognition. The tracks of Ave individu.
ais we're traced as coming and returning
from the river.-On Sunday afternoon as
the locomotive engine, attached to two
cars, loaded with passengers, was starting
from YorkviIle on the Harlem Rail Road
on its return to New York, the boiler ex.
ploded, and was dashed to pieces against
the rocks in the narrow passage, and a
fragment which rebounded struck an l.
IRISH emigrant seated on one Of the cars, in
the temple. He exclaimed, 81 am hurt
fell to the ground, and expired without a
groan. The engineer, we learn, was also
very badly scalded.--A writer in the Gin.
cinnati Journal, proposes the institution
of an Asylum for Drunkards, where the
confirmed in Incorporate habits shall be
taken and confined until the desire for
spurious liquors has abated.

THE MORMoNs IN MISSOURI.


Current information from Missouri con-
| firms the apprehensions entertained of the
breaking out of furious Civil War between
the Mornions and the residents of Jackson
county, in the State Of Missouri. The Fay
cite Monitor. of the 21st, says "By our next
number we anticipate something ION the
Mormon controversy in an authentic form.
The People may look for the worst"
The Missouri Enquirer (printed at Lib
erty) Of the 18th June, says, that, on the
Monday preceding, Committee on the
part ofthe citizens ofJackson county, and
one in behalf Of the Mormon People, met
lat Liberty, to take into consideration the
subject Of compromising the difficulties
which occurred in Jackson county last
Autumn. No compromise was effected,
however, notwithstanding the exertions Of
1.-THE People Of Clay county, lin which Lib
)erty is situated, committee of whom
were appointed to act as medators. On
the contrary, the excitement among the
People was such, that the conference was,
in consequence Of it, obliged to be adjourn
led. The proposition made by the Peo-
pie OF Jackson county to the Mormonss
who were driven out of the county lase
Autumn, and are about to re-enter it with
additional numbers, in arms, is, to buy all
the lands and improvements of the Mor-
mons, at valuation by disinterested ar-
bitrators, to which valuation one hundred
per cent. shall be added, to be paid within
thirty days thereafter; the Mormons
thereupon TO leave the county, and not
hereafter to attempt to enter it, individu-
ally or collectively. Or, the citizens Of
Jackson county to sell their lands TO the
Mormons on exactly reciprocal terms. To
neither Of these propositions were the
Committee of the Mormons authorized to
assent, nor does there appear any proba~
bility that either Of them will be assented
to. The Enquirer, after narra,ing these
facts, gives utterance to the following me-
Isncholy foreboding cit is lamentabia
fact, that this matter is about to involve
the whole upper country in civil war and
bloodshed. We cannot Gf a compromise
is not agreed to before Saturday next telf
how long it will be before we shall have
the painful task Of recording the awful re-
alities Of an exterminating war;" The
citizens of Jackson, it appears, thong h in-
ferior in numbers to the Mormons, re re-
solved to dispute every inch Of 81 ound |;
and the Chairman of their Commi1tee de-
cIared, at the Meeting in the Cour House
Of Clay county, appealing to Heaven fog
the truth Of his assertion, that "tlAey would
dispute every inch ofground, burn every
blade of grass, and suffer their bones to.
bleach on their hills, rather t'1an the Mora
mons should return to Jackson county,

ANOTHER INVEN TION.

A gentleman of Cincinnati, by the name
of Mason, has invented an Aireal Steam
boat, in which he proposed to ascend on the
4th instant. The boat is thus described IN
a paper before US: at is about ten feet long;
the ribs being covered with silk, in order to
render ii very hight. The engine, Of two
horse power, is placed in the middle, and
turns four vertical shafts projecting over the
BOW AND STERN, into each of which are fix
e6 four spiral silken wings, which are made
to revolve with sufficient velocity to cause
the vessel to rise. Over the whole 10 fixed
movable sllken cover, designed to assist
in counteracting the gravitatlng force, at the
same time tending to assist in its propulsion
forward. The whole boat, including the
engine, weighs 60 pounds. and has cost a.
bout $500. Phil. Rep.

creek and as no further excavations have
been made, it is more than probable that
new and more interesting developements
will be made when the land is worked fop
gold.
A great number of curious specimens
of work manship have been found n stu
ations, which preclude the possibility OF
their having been moved for more than a
thousand years. During my mining ope-
ralions last year, / found, at one time, a.
bout one half Of a crucible, Of the capaci,
ty of near gallon. 1t YVES ten feet below
the surface, and Immediately beneath a
large oak tree, which measured S feet in
diameter, and must have been four or five
hunded years old. The deposite was di.
luviaI, or what may be termed table land.
The stratum, of quartz. gravel, in which
the vessel was imbedded, is about two
feet in thickness, resting upon decompos'
ed chlorite slate.
1t is not difficult to account for the deposite
of those substances in alluvlal soil, for the
hills are generally very high and precipitous,
and from the immense quantity of rain which
falls, the streams are swollen to great height
sweeping every thing with them, and tre-
quently forming deposts of several feet in
thickness ih season; but some Of dlluvial
land is from 10 to SO feet above the present
level of the streams. These deposites exhb-
it appearances of as great attrition as those
recently formed.
There was a vessel, or rather double
mortar, found in Dukes Creek, about five
inches in diameter, and the excavation on
each side was nearly an inch in depth, basin
like, and perfectly polished. 1t was made Of
quartz, which had been semi-transparent but
had become stained with the iron which a,
bounds in quantity in all this country. In
the bottom of each basin was small depres-
sion half an inch in depth and about the
same diameter. What its use could have
been, is difficult to conjecture. Some sup
pose it was used for grinding paint, &c. OF
in some of their plays or games. The high
finish, and it's exact dimensions, induce me
to believe il the production OF more civil
lied people, than the present race of Indians

by which it appears, that during that Pc

1874 AZ, and the expense Of collection to

has for many years been deemed necessa-
