CAPT. De SoTo.--We received note
last evening from our highly respected
friend and fellow townsman, Capt. John
R. Stanhope, very justly complaining Of
the gross injustice done in yesterdays
"Rhode- Island Republican, to Chpt. de-
Soto, whom he has seen fit, from the
strongest recommendations, to place in
command Of the Spanish ship Velos,
which has recently been fitted up and
repaired under his direction. il is per.
haps unnecessary here to remind our
readers that Capt. de Soto in the trans
action in which he was implicated, not
only received a full pardon from the
President (who it will be recollected is
not much famed for Executive clemen-
cy,) under the conviction that he was
entirely innocent Of the charges alleged
against him--that he was also believed
to be innocent by Judge Story, from
facts and circumstances which trnnspired
subse quent to his trial, and which induc-
ed the Judge to interest himself earnest
ly in his behalf:--or 10 refer to the gen.
eral and pervading sympathy enlisted in
his favor among all who were best ac-
quainted with the facts in relation TO his
trial--but it is nevertheless due to that
unfortunate gentleman to say, that no
person in this place Of honorable feel
ings entertains towards him the least sus-
picion calculated to operate prejudicial-
ly against his general good character.
We think he might have been spared at
this time the cruel imputaiions cast upon
his reputation, when il is well known that
many OF the most respectable and wealthy
merchants in Cuba and elsewhere, have
the fullest confidence in his integrity and
honor. We should think also that some
little regard would have been paid to the
feelings Of Capt Stanhope who has
thought proper to employ Capt. de Soto.
Is it fair to presume that Capt. S. would
place man Of the character which is en-
deavored to be fastened upon Capt. de
Soto by the defamatory writer in the pa
per alluded TO, in so responsible si,ua-
Ition?

Mr.. Hslscy, Of Georgia, moved that the
whole subject be postponed, and made the
special order Of the day for Tuesday next
The motion prevailed, and so the whole sub
ject was postponed.
| SEMINOLE HOsTILITIEs.
The committee took up this bill for consid-
Grafton. The amendments by the Senate
consisted merely in increasing the sum appro-
priated from $4,000 to 10000, and in the
addition Of the following words at the end OF
the bill-"to be expended under the direction
Of the Secretary Of War, coniormably to the
provisions Of the act Of April 5tb, 1882, max
ing appropriations for the support of the
army"
The Committee concurred in the amend
ments by the Senate, and no other amend
ment having been offered, the bill was laid
aside.
NAVY APPROPRIATIONS BILL.
The Committee having taken up this bill
for consideration, Mr.. Csmbreleng moved to
amend it by inserting the words "for arrear-
ages of pay for extra services Of officers en-
gagged in the survey Of the coast prior to tine
year 1880, &c. $500: which amendment was
adopted.
Mr.. c. moved TO amend the bill by striking
out the 18th, S0th, and 6lst lines; being an
appropriation of $4,000 for building Marine
Barracks outside the Navy Yards.
After some further debate, the question
was taken, the amendment was adopted, and
the appropriation accordingly stricken out
Mr.. Cambreleng moved to amend the 13
ID, and Is lines, appropria.ing $3.50 600 for
finishing vessels, &c. &c. by inserting the
following:
"For finishing, launching, and putting in
commission, vessels OIL the stocks, two mil
lions dollars"
He said he was instructed to propose this
amendment, by the Committee of Ways and
Means-although they had not yet received
the required information on the subject from
the Navy Department.
After long debate mr. Jarvis, of Maine,
said he would move that the Committee rise
and report.
The motion prevailed, and the Seminole
Indian Bill having been reported to the House,
the House cOncurred with the Committee in
its adoption.
At A l-2 o'clock, the House adjourned.
THURSDAY, January 18th.
U. S. MILITARY ACADEMY.
The House proceeded to consider the Res
olution offered on the 9TH inst. by mr. Hawes,
Of Kentucky, for the appointment Of a select
Committee of nine members to investigate
the concerns and management of the U. 8.
Military Academy at West Point, and report
"a plan, if expedient, for the reorganization of
that institution.
After debate the House proceeded to the
orders Of the day, without taking any vote on
the question.
The House adjourned at o'clock.

THE MORMONS IN OHIO.

A correspondent at gainesville in Ohio, in
a letter dated the 18th alt. gives US the fol-
lowing account Of the Moflnons in that neigh
borhood.
The Mormon Temple at Kirkland, Geauga
CO. Ohio, is large ediiice, built of sand stone,
sixty feet by eighty on the ground, and forty
four feet high. 1t has steeple, aud makes
quite an imposing appearance. 1t has two
stories; the first is their place Of worship the
second their school-room. In the lower story
there are eight pulpits, each calculated to seat
three persons. Four Of these pulpits are
between the doors, as you enter the front OF
the house, and the other four are directly op-
posite. They are designed for the twelve
apostles, as they term their teachers. The
slips are so constructed that they can change
their position, facing, as occasion requires,
the opposite sides of the house where the pull
pits are situated. This is done by removing
the seat from one side of the slip to the other
the occupants stepping ont into narrow
aisle made for the purpose, while the seats
are changed. The centre of the house, be-
tween the pulpits, is to be divide by large
veil, Pade Of canvass, to extend from the top
to the bottom of the room. This is to divide
the congregation, but the reason why could
not learn. Indeed they were reluctant to in
form me Of the object Of their eight pulpi,s.
The Mormons pretend To have the spirit Of
prophecy, 10 speak ,eiM tongues, and to ,cork
miracles. As tor their prophesyipg, their
leader, Smith, acknowledges that he was mis-
taken about their going to Missouri; and this
was their greatest and most important proph.
ecy. AS this has failed, one would think
that his followers could not be confident that
the rest will not share the same fate. Their
speaking with tongues is the gbberish of
children.
In conversation with the Mormons, 7 re-
marked that miracles were wrouyh, for n
specific purpose-for an object worthy Of
God: that they proved the divine authority of
the Scriptures; that they were also wrought in
public: and that men were capable ofjudginp
whether they were wrought or not. "Now
this" ] added, "is not the case with your
They have all the marks of i'm
position. You cannot see whether the preten-
ded miracle was wrought or not. For in-
stance, your prophet, Mr.. Smith. pretends to
give the true names of the individuals whose |
bone, are found in the ancient mounds in this
vlcintyj and also to translate the hieroCly-

GOV. EvERETT,s ADDRESS.

On Friday, the 18th inst. his Excellency
EDWARD EVERETT, the newly elected Gov
ernor of Massachusetts,, addressed the two
Houses Of the General Court, in an able and
perspicuous speech, which occupies nearly
six columns of the Daily Advertiser, and en-
braces most of the subjects of interest, which
could properly be brought to the notice Of the
Legislature. Itis marked throughout by great
moderation in sentiment and lberalty of feel
ing, and handles the controvertcd topics OF
the day with the ease and ability which dis
tnguish the writings of its accomplished au-
thor. If our limits permitted, we should be
glad to make very liberal extracts from this
valuable state paper, but we must be content
to recommend its perusa to our readers gen.
orally, as furnishing in reasonable compass,
many excellent principles and suggestions, of
which the ultraism of the times, religious and
political, it is scarcely necessary to add, is too
much in need.

prevailed with her to suffer the elders 10 pray
over the child, and, by laying OH of hands, to
raise the sick. Your elders prayed and laid
on their hands, and the child soon sunk in
death. And this" said sis one of your

NAVAL DEP6T.-We are glad TO see,
that the subject Of establishing Naval
Depot in Narraganseit Bay, has been
again brought forward by Mr.. ROBBINS,
in the Sen ate, and referred to the Naval
Committee. The situation Of our affairs
at this juncture would seem to be favo-
rable TO the obtaining n just decision on
this question, involving not the interests
of de-Island exclusively, but the Sc
curity and efectual protection Of the
commercial and military marine Of the
whole Union. 1t is strange, and on any
reasonable principles inexplicable to US,
that at moment when hostilities with
one Of the first powers in Europe, in pos
session Of strong and highly disciplined
force Of more than hundred aimed ves-
sells, were deemed by the Admin stration
TO be far from improbable,-with u pow
er too, which has an old and intimate
&C quaintance with the localities Of this
coast-and when the Treasury is over
flowing with a surplus revenue of nearly
twenty millions of dollars-tbat not one
word, not the slightest suggestion, should
be offered, either in the Presidents Mes
sage, or in the Report of the Secretary
of the Navy, as to the necessity and pro-
priety of securing this Bay for our prin-
cipal Northern Naval Rendezvous. 1t
is not, certainly, that the superior advan-
tages of the Bay over all other stations
south Of the Chesapeake for the purpose
indicated, are not known TO the Govern
ment. Reports and surveys without num-
ber on this subject have been made by
the most competent and accomplished
officers; and the opinion of the Navy
Board, it is well ascertained, is decisive
! ly in favor of an establishment in our wa
tiers. Why then should the fear Of Of.
tending the great States, or an indisposi-
ton to create any new establishment, op-
erute to prevent the commencement Of a
work Of the first necessity, and SO pro-
nounced by the ablest officers Of the Co
vernment itself? We make no COM
plant of the large and unusual appro-
priations recomme ended for improvements
in the Yards already established. We
have always thought that the attempt to
interrupt, few sessions ago, the appro-
priations for works at Brooklyn, N. Y.
one Of the most ill-judged and mprovi-
dent movements that we ever knew
made. But we do contend, that while
the Yards already in existence, on "a
coast as extensive as ours, may well be
deemed necessary 10 the wants Of the
Navy, and that it is right and proper to
make the establishments in those Yards
as effective as possibe-that the great
Estuary, which nature has pointed out
and science confirmed, as its only safe
rendezvous on this side Of the Chesa-
peake, at all Seasons o(the year and with
all winds, should not be purposely lost
sight Of in the operations Of the Govern
ment.

MICHIGAN.
A very long debate took place on the mo-
tion, heretofore submitted by mr. Hannegan
OF Indiana, TO reject the memorial purporting
to come from the Senate and House of Re-
personalities of the State of Michigan, pray
ing immediate admission into the Union:
Various amendments were offered, and the
debate was at length arrested by a call for
the previous question, which the House sec.
onded:
And the memorial was finally referred "to
the committee on the Judiciary, and ordered
to be priDted'-the following words having,
on motion of mr. Hannegan, been appended
to the reference-"nnd that this House, in
receiving the memorial purporfing to come
from the Senate and House of Represe nta-
tives Of the State Of Michigan, regard the
same in no other light than as the voluntary
act Of private individuals"
And so the memorial was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary.
TUESDAY January 1lth.
The business first in order was the me-
mortal heretofore presented by mr. q Ad.
ans, praying for the abolition Of slavery and
the slave trade in the District Of Columbia.
and the pending question Of appeal from the
decision of the Speaker, the consideration of
which subject had been postponed to this day
Mr.. Ward, Of New York, moved the fur.
lher postponement Of the subject to Monday
next; which motion, after some debate, was
carried.
WEDNESDAY, January 18Th.
ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN d. C.
The resolution, heretofore offered by Mr..
Jarvis Of Maine, together with the amend.
nents thereon, came up in the order of busi-
'ess. After an Intellectual attempt to lay the
'ubject on the table,
