One HUNDRED MoRMoNs SHOT! The Wes-
tern Illinois and Iowa papers Of the 18th Jan.
bring reports that the party of Mormons who
recently left Nauvoo for the purpose Of settling
in the 'Plnery,' (high up the Mississippi rver)
have all been murdered! Having got into dis
putc at the French trading establishment about
the price of some provisions, which they
thought exorbitant, they unceremonously help
ed themselves to whatever they wanted; which
so exasperated the Frenchmen that they called
in the aid of the Indians, and massacred 100 of
the Mormon party, amounting in all to 800 or
400. The Green Bay Republican gives the
same report.

MURDER IN Cecil County. We learn from
the Elkton Democrat of Saturday, that most
shocking murder has, within the last few days,
been committed about eight miles from that
place, near the Big Elk Creek. The unfortu-
nate man is named Alexander Shaw lie was
found upon the floor of his sleeping room CO.
vered with sheet. Upon examination ho was
found to have been dreadfully dsfgurcd, so
much so, that no one would suppose that hui
man being could have been guilty of commit
ing SO dreadful an outrage. No other particu-
lars are given.

.MessrS. Editors,-Your correspondent, ere
membrancer," in Saturday mornings paper, re-
commends "that the General Assembly of Ma
ryland should pass law levying ten dollars a
head on every foreigner who arrives in any
part OF Maryland as passenger on board Of a
vesseln
Now, to me it appears that there are serious
objections to the foregoing recommendations
With ports of entry all round us, it would nei-
ther keep foreigners from our State, nor bring
$50, 900" into the State treasury but it could
Affect the shipping interest of our city. Sup
pose, for instance, there be two ships in Il TO-
reign port to sail for the United States, one be-
longing to Baltimore and the other to Philadal-
phia: number of passengers wish to embark
for Baltimore, but knowing when they arrive
at our wharf they must pay over and above
their passage $40 to the State, and that by sail
ing for Philadelphia they can come into Mary
land in few hours thereafter for dollar or
two, would they not reasonably shun the Bati-
more and select the Philadelphia ship? Thus
their passage, freight Sc would be lost to Bal
timore, and the State receive no benefit there
by.
If such law as "Remembrancer'' proposes,
be enacted, it should be national, not sectional
The rush and PUSH of foreigners into this coun-
try imperatvely demand the enactment of such
a law by Congress-; otherwise our young and
enterprsing mechanics will find themselves
thrust aside by the refuse population of Europe
Already has every trade and occupation been
affected by then-every branch of industry has
already or is being overstocked with foreign
competitors, who by the grovellng lives they
lead, can underworld and under-sell the honor
able high-minded mechanic.

THE STAMP ACT. The following me-
mortal in relation to the proposed Stamp Act
is about to be circulated for signatures:
10 the Honorable the General assembly Of Maryiand
Your memorialists, the merchants and traders
of the city of Baltimore, lament, in common
with every honest and patriotic citizen, the in
jury and disgrace which has been brought up
on our State, by Il failure to meet her pccuni-
airy obligations.
Your memorialisis believe that the public
faith can be redeemed by a judicious and ener-
getlc action on the part of your Honorable
body, and that large proportion of the peo-
pie will sustain such action, if based on the
principles of justice.
Your memorialists are Of opinion that no de-
sire exists IN your Honorable Body to enact re-
venue laws, which would impose on any par
ticular part Of the State or class of citizens a
burden, which should be borne by all parts and
classes as equally as possible, in proportion to
their actual wealth.
Your memorialists believe that it is more be-
coming in them TO approach your Honorable
Body with free and frank dissent from any
measures proposed for your consideration than
acquieSence IN adeance, in tchateper mag be adopt
ed.
Your memorlalists consider the bill before
your Honorable body, for taxing notes of band,
sc. as imposing on the merchants and traders
of this city an oncrous burden, which would
operate oppressively OH Il class Of citizens who
are anxious to restore the credit of our State,
and are already heavily taxed, by direct and
indirect means, far beyond what is Justly due
from them.
Your memoriasts do not believe that any
system of taxation will be sustained by the peo-
pie Of this State, which vitiates so glarlngly her
Bill of RigIlts.as does the bill imposing stamps
on trade.
Your memorialsts trust that other measures
will be substituted by your Honorable body for
the obnoxious one referred TO, and that it will
not DO attempted to meet the responsibilities of
the whole State, by the imposition of unequal
unjust and oppressive taxes upon a small class
of the commnnity-but that it may be done by
equal and Just laws; and your memorialists will
chceIfully meet whatever burdens may be i'm
posed upon them in common with the rest Of
their fcllow-citizens.

DEFENCE OF BALTIMORE. We are irdcbted
to the Hon. John Wethered, for a copy of the
report of Mr.. Clinch, from the committee on
Military Affairs, from which we make the fol-
lowing extract:
Battery OF. Sellers Point Flats beto,c Balti-
more.-The only defence Of Baltimore at this
moment is Fort McHenry, scarcely mile from
the lower wharf, and the same defence that ex-
listed at the beginning Of the last war. This
fort is in excellent condition, but is wholly in
adequate to the protection of the city. When
we bring to mind the ease with which the
greater powers of Europe despatch large armies
to distant seas, we are bound to regard sudden
inroads MS by no means improbable. An expo
dition of 10000 men, suddenly arriving in the
Chesapeake, might be landed one day on North
Point and reach the city, at the latest, on the
next. Their steamers and smaller war vessels
would ascend the Patapsco, until wltha reach
OF Fort Mclenry, and thus cover the exposed
flank of the movement. The proposed occu-
patton of Sellers Point Flats would defeat any
such enterprise, by making that which is now
easy and simple very hazardous undertaking
The enemy's vessels could then no longer ac-
company the troops, but must remain out of
reach of the hew batteries, not less than two
and a half miles below. The navigation of the
river will then remain in our own hands; and
any portion of troops from the city, and those
that come to its succor, can be thrown, by the
aid OF steam and other vessels, upon the rear
of any column moving up from North Point.
The defence of the water passage to the city
now regarded as altogether too feeble, would
also, of course, be greatly strengthened by the
proposed battery. The War Department asks
$4,000 for the commencement of this work
which the bill herewith proposes to appro-
Drintp.
