RHODE IsLAND.--We copy the following
extract from the Providence Journal.
" It is very gratifying to learn that the
Wings, throughout the State, have generally
turned out in good strength at the late cleo
ton. The result has been that, in many
towns, where the Loco Focos had made pre-
parations to dispute the election Of Represen-
tatives, they were alarmed at the strong ap-
pearance Of the Wings, and made no opposi-
ton. Such was the case in Warwick, in Smith
field, and in Johnston. There have been some
few changes-the majority in the House will
be increased, and the Wing majority In Grand
Committee, will not vary much from thirty.',

SOMETHING NEw.--The Buffalonian men,
tions case of theft, which is certainly origi-
nal. The editor, writing from Toledo, says,
4 heard ofa circumstance which is certainly
very curious, and avery grave Joke. A lady
of one of the merchants died, and a grave was
dug in which to place her remains. The pro-
icession came to the burial ground andefound
an Irish funeral had beeen there before them
who finding a grave hntenanted had put in
their departed friend and covered him up.--
The other procession had to wait till a new
grave was dug. This is the newest case Of
stealing, and one which, believe, has never
come before our courts Cincinnatiaa. 81

Loco Foco LITERATURE extract from
the address of Mr.. Cachell, of Montgomery
County, Kentucky,a Loco Foco candidate for
Congress-, was copied with some appropriate
and tvery flattering comments, into the Lou
isvile Journal. Inreply to this the same per-
son has come out with another specimen his
literary ability The following is the concIu-
ding paragraph, in which he intimates his be-
nevolent design upon the offending EDITOR
Boston Atlas.
"The first snuff get at him, I, in the fierce
ness of my wrath, will pounce upon him like q
catamount on a skunk-snatch pieces of hide
from him as big as amuskrat skin at grab
Il will bung both his peepers-chaw off his
ingers--crop his ears--slit his nose--knock
out his eye teeth-bite off chunks of flesh by
the epound-twitch off srght arm andbeat him
with the bloody end--I will crack his thigh
bones and grease my moccasins with the mar.
row. will take his brains to dress buckskin;
and his skull in place of torlois shell to make
wife soup gourd-I will literally eat him up,
as Yankee would a dish of Goldfish and pota-
toes, and on the fragments will feast my dog.

ANOTHER WAR IN EMBRYo.-The st. Louis
Gazette of the 18th ultimo, contains the fol-
lowing curious article furnished by cores
pondent of that paper:
From correspondent of the Gazette we
obtain the following information with regard to
the Mormons, who are settled in the interior
of the State:
81 find rumor of apprehended disturbances
with the Mormons. They, as you know, oc-
cupy Caldwell county exclusively. 1t seems
that one OF their number was on the day Of
election, in Davies's county. and at the polls
got embroiled in difficulty, that ended in his
death. 1t is said that some of the Mormons
have been maltreated by their own body, and
have spread their complaints into neighboring
counties. af@u' H e" 'iH
at is said, also, that it is difficult to collect
debts among them; and that the officers have
been put in duress who have endeavored to
make collections. 1t is said, also, that some
persons, who have come in among them, have
been forced to sign obligations in regard to the
purchase of lands, the nature of which, how
ever, if the attempt ever has been made,
have not learned. ta
"Whether all or any of those causes have
led to the difficulties which are apprehended,
cannot pretend to say. There is no doubt, at
any rate, that some alarm and expectation Of
collision prevails in adjoining counties. Joe
Smith, 1t is said, brags of his forces-setting
them at l,9OO able-boded men. They polled
only 35S: but no doubt large additions have
been made to their number within year, who
of course are not yet qualified voters.
Gone fact is, that Joe had taken himself a
young girl to wife, and promised his followers
that of his lineage there should be son, who
should be to them prophet, priest and king.
Unluckily, however, the priest and king turned
out to be female. But | suppose the faithful
will receive her as pythoness and queen, and
nursing mother in the church. 1885
The Mormons are in expectation Of fresh
recruits from the East--and observe in the
newspapers, that 500 are on their way to the
land Of Canaan, which they expect to occupy,
after turning out the heather who now cum
Der the ground there" s.ts

The 40 daughters of Danaus had a hard job
in trying to fill sieve with water, but the fel-
low whose exploits are recounted in the fol-
loving, undertook q still more difficult task in
asmuch as he had no one to assist him.: w
Whoever has seen fishing smack must
have noticed the well for keeping the fish il
is caulked around the sides, but the bottom is
full of holes to keep the water in circulation
for the fish. An ambitious loafer, on Tuesday,
applied on board of one of these crafts and
bargained to bail her out for rs cents. He
stripped for the job, and for an hour and hall
the admiring crowd were amused by his mar
.velous efforts to bail out the we'll till he gave
up the job in despair. Prov. Cour. NJ 81

Reform the Banks! We go for reform in
the banking system, say the Administration
papers. This has been the burden of their
song for the last six years. They have char
tered an hundred or more banks, and why have
they not chartered them according to the re-
form mode2 Why have they not made the
stockholders responsible? They fashioned
these institutions with their own hands, aud
why did they not make them to suittheir own
improved notions? 1t is mere folly for the
friends and supporters Of the present admins
tration to talk about their devotion and anxiety
for bank reform. They are pretty much used
up; and now they must have some watch WORD
10 rally their broken and scattered forces, and
they cry reform the Banks This to them
is a familiar song. The people have become
accustomed to 1t. 1t disturbs them not.--

NEW BANKING FAcILITlrs.-It will be recol-
lected by the reader, that a short time since we
published letter from New York, stating that
John Jacob Astor and J. Dela6eld, Esqrs. had
associated themselves under the late law of N.
Y. on the subject, for the establishment of a
new Bank. This bank appears to be the only
one which under that law, has yet gone into
operation. We have seen bill drawn by ].
Delafeld, broker, IA Wall street, New York,
payable at the Banking Office of Delafeld and
Burnet in this city, where they are redeema-
BILE by other paper or specie. We understand
arrangements are in progress for their receipt
in various banks in the west.-Cia. Gaz.

SCARCITY OF WIVES IN TExAs.-A Cores
pondent Of the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser, writing from Texas under date of 25th
July, says: sai4- n.r Rt.3pFlls,-r
Our Congress has passed a law, granting a
bonus oftwo-thirds ofa league, or 1862 acres
Of good land, to every woman who will marry,
during the present year, any citizen of this re-
public who was such at the time of our declara-
ton of independence. The consequence you
may easily imagine. Every single lady, young
or old, good looking or ugly, has been sought
out and led to the altar, and yet nineteen out
of twenty of our bachelors are not only unmar-
ried but unengaged, although their DISPOSE
tions are the best that can be imagined, and
their efforts corresponding.
A few weeks since family arrived from
Ohio, bringing with them young woman as
servant. Our young men took it very much
in dudgeon that SO precious commodity
should remain in a situation unbecoming and
Improbable, and accordingly held a meeting,
at which considerable sum of money was raj
sed by subscriptions, with which the young
damse wrs placed as boarder in respecta-
BILE family. Then they clubbed together and
bought young mans head right of 1881 acres,
which they presented to her as a dover; and
this evening she was married to respectable
planter, who receives with her the 29e2 acres
in addition, from the government. 1r

On Drive note, as one the on dts of
the day, that General Jackson, in q late con-
versation with visitor atthe Hermitage, used
something like the following language in re-
ference to Mr. Calhoun and the administration
q believe Mr.. Van Buren, capable, honest and
deserving the confidence of the American peo
ple-that he has administered the government
with wisdom and prudence: and that the de-
mocracy ofthe country should stand by him in
the last ditch. notwithstanding these are
my views in relation to him and his adlnins-
tration, have been led to fear that the acces-
sion of John c. Calhoun to the ranks of his
supporters, would prove the death knell to his
administration, and extinguish all hope Of his
-election.--yNdysville (Ky.) Eagle.
