The MUTrNY.-The whole community is greatly
agitated by the account of this horrible affair
There appears to be division of opinion on the
NATTER which is beginning to manifest itself in vari-
Gus ways. Yesterday and the day before facts have
been very freely circulated, OF OPP oslte tendency
TO those published by us and some of our cotempo-
raries, and which throw different light on the af-
fair. One statement says that one of the persons
who were executed solemnly protested his inno-
cence till the last moment and it is added that su-
fcient evidence will be given, soon an lnves-
tgation takes place, TO show that Spencer alone
originated the muiny and chaked out all its details,
but that no one really and seriously joined him.
On the other side, great many members of the
bar begin object to the legality of the conduct Of
Commander Mckenzie. One thing, however, is
certain there was no doubt of the intention the
part of Spencer, to create mutiny and carry out
the Internal project. That is admitted all hands,
And under all the circumstances, the boldness and
decision with which United States officer acted
can only be paralleled in of those incidents il
the early history of the Roman Republic, which H.
lustrate so fully the complete and perfect discipline
which governed the Roman Legion.
The subject will, however, be daily discussed and
all sorts of rumors and opinions will be circulated,
until the Court OF investigation or trial take up the
matter and all the facts are known. The sooner
this is done the better

ALARMING ColNcIDENcE.-Pfophet Miller is not
alone in his glory John Jones, of the "Madiso-
man." has Just been up at Gilga and the spirit OF
prophecy has enveoped him, like an old coat and a
pair of breeches, both costing halt crown. John
speaks as fo,lows:-
It's obvious that storm is brewing in the political fir
manent The elements OF dscord rising above the
horizon in every direction Like the tul gusts the
darkly overcast ocean, Observe ever and anon some
aprant yainy endeavorng to catch favorable breeze
c But the the storm is comingi must come-and when
IL bursts in it, fury the dashing waves OF public opinion
will sink many frail bark
But when thunder has rolled, and the lightning has
flashed and the storm has spent its furythen we will
have brighter skies than and the body polite VIII
stand forth regenerated and disenthralled.
Awful frightfu The end of the world is Ger
tainy at hand. John Jones and Father Miller both
prophecy " Storm" and we begin TO be horribly
alarmed for all the small potatoes throughout the
country.

Congress-.

This highly respectable body of philosophers have
now been in session for lnigh-spent about thirty
thousand dollars in money for pay and mileage
about four hundred thousand gallons Of wind in the
shape OF speeChes-but they have not yet begun the
real business OF the session. Yet begin to like
them very much. There appears to be more good
temper-a cheerful vita fine Imagination and
real fun among them this winter, than we ever re-
member to have seen.
The reports thus far, have been most agreeable
reading-and if they continue so good tempered and
jovial, we don't care how few laws they pass We
don't think the country viii suffer much if they do
nothing at all, but quiz each other for the next two
months. At one time, the politicians cried out give
US sub-treasury, or there will be crsis'-at ano-
Their time " give a national bank, or there will be
a crsis"-and now it is, I" give us an exchequer, or
there will be a crisis
This is all faniaronade-the country is going
a-head--as prosperous as ever-ful of plenty
cheaper and fresher than for twenty years past.
The principal distress exists with those who
have lived beyond their income-and now de-
pend on rotten banks, rotten stocks, or rotten
sleculations, The great middle class, OF farmers
mechancs--traders-an honest people, comprising
two.thrds of the population, are as happy,
rich and prosperous as they ever were, or
ever can be. None complain but the rotous liber-
tiue-the wasteful lawyer-the dishonest 6nancier-
the miserable potoian-the impudent beggarly
fashionable-or the tricky broker.
It Congress were never TO pass another law for
twenty-five years. it would be better for the repub-
lie The country is ridden TO death by the multi.
plicity and fluctuaton of our laws We are glad to
see, therefore, some symptoms OF wit, fun, phio-
sophy, and old-fashioned good temper in Congress
and if they do nothing during the session. but per-
petrate sparkling tests crack rich jokes-lt will
BE- far preferable to pepetratng bad laws, or crack
ing thick sculls.

CHEAP ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS LAw.-We find
that the republication OF the most icentIous French
novels has been commenced in this city large
edition of Paul de Mock has been issued, and we
will probably soon have George Sands, and Others
of the same stamp 1t is impossible is exagge rate
the demorazing tendency of these filthy works.
They will do more TO corrupt and destroy our youth
than ali the obscene papers which could be issued
in century. The latter are too gross and revolt
ing to find their way to any circle but the brothel.
But the novels now beginning to be issued will cir
cuae without suspicion as freely as those of Bulwer
and Boz
II has not been difficult TO perceive the gradual
tendency of cheap literature to this frghtfu point.
We had first the scepticism rreligion, and polished
licentiousness OF Bulwer. and the descriptions Of
the ves purlieus of the English metropolis by Boz,
and now we are threatened with a deluge OF the
most lascvous productions of the French novelists
The prlce at which these demoralizing works are
sod puts them within the reach of all classes, and
especially of the young of both sexes II is fright
ful to reflect on the results which must inevitably
and speedily follow.
IL seemsas II all the foundations of public morali-
ty were threatened with overthrow. Corrupt bank
ers and hnanclers-rouen politicians--centious no.
velists-are all united in this iniquious work And
strange to say, the pulpit is silent What is to be
done Ought not these mportations of foreign IL
centiousness and immortality be prevented, No
thing but an international copyrightlaw can do this
Works Of improper tendency from abroad would
thus be shut out, aud we would soon have healthy
national literature growing up onsst vs.

SWEEPING THE STREETS. Objections are offered
against the plan of sweeping the streets, be-
cause the contract is TO continue for five years
This is a mere party objection The locofocos fear
that certain amount of additional power may thus
be put into the hands ofhe Wings, for that period of
time, and therefore they oppose the plan. But what
have the public who only want the streets properly
cleaned. to do with this new Partzan question 1t
does not matter pin whether the contractors be
locofocos or wings, provided they fulfll their obi
cations Unless the contract be liberal one and for
number Of years. the streets will be as filthy as at
present. The system must have some degree Of
permanence II the contract be merely for year,
the contractors will be constantly changing, and no
system organization in the work will be effected
The public have nothing to do with the petty quar-
res of political loaiers, and it can be of conse-
quence TO them who gets the Job Let us have the
new plan in operation at once.
