THE MESSAGES-We lay before our read.
els This week The Messages oi President Polk, and
Governor Smi h, and feel sure they will be eager.
" sought after, and generally read by men OF all
parties
The message Of the President is an able docn-
ment, ard cannot fail we think, 10 give full sails
faction TO his Democratic friends throughout The
country.
The Message Of Governor Smith fully meets
The expectation OF his friends, and has been well
and favorabfy received by large numbers OF Inc
Wings. The Governor has presented his OPT
Mons on all subj cts, with that irankness and in
dependence, which have ever marked his conduct
as public man, and which emineny become his
nosilion. The Message is finely written, and
will mos favorably compare with The messages OF
any OF his predecessors.

The Ru,le,in and The Wings (says the N. o

The Bulletin and The Wings (says the N. 0
Courier) are hard to please. They abused The go.
vernmen, because, as they alleged, The national
credit was pros'rated and no money could be
raised 10 meet the current expenses oil conducting
The war. But the national credit proved TO be
Stronger than the Wings anticipated, and then
lhey were angry that The loan Of five millions was
Obtained with so much ease. Again our Wing
brethren are displeased, because, according 10 Inc
Bulletin, the QuarteTmasers and Commissarles
are in funds We have no money, and The Wings
abuse us for being poor-we get money, and We
are abused for getting il-Gen. Scott is on his
way with 100000, and we are abused because
The Gen. has stopped on his journey, probably Tor
some necessary occasion. Really our Whis breth-
rem are very unreasonable SET OF people,

There was quite little breeze kicked up al
Carthage on the 18th inst, between The Nor
mons and the Antics, growing OUT Of the pro
ceedings OF the county commissioners court
then and there IN session. IL appears two Of III,
county commissioners are Mormons. aud the 9th
or and the clerk are Antics. At preyiou,
meeting OF the court, a long pauper account had
been presented, which being for the support o
Mormons almost exclusively. the Anie. were
opposed TO allowing. In the midst of the dispute
the court was adjourned rather abruptly hy ia,
anti commissioner. who was president, To meet
again on the l2ih inst. A tins last meeting the
anu commissioner did not attend. The Iauper
account was again taken up, and a pant OF it al.
lowed. list of heavy charges was then pre-
scented by sheriff Backcn>tns tor drlrayinr TIN ey.
penses oi hts posse during the 42l or last Nor
mun war. and this was also allowed. and the clerk
ordered To enter t " record. Bu, the clerk reiu-
scd presenting IN defence an injunction from the
circuit court, f'rbddng all proceedings in rela.
ti1n 10 bills for the support Of said posse. The
court became indignant and discharged the clerk,
appointing jack, by the name of Edmonds, IN
his place, who demanded the books and pnpcrs.
These the old clerk refused to give up. on the
sround that be had takcn an appeal to the en-
cult court. The cour, determined to commit
him for contempt, aud just as sheriff Dackensos
was about to carry out this last order. Mai. War
ren made lis appearance and took the clerk in
his own charge. stating that he would have the
whole matter decided by bringing ii, on a writ Of
hQbeas corpus, before the supreme court.
Thus far matters wear a comparatively peace.
ful aspect, what follows is more bclscrcnt. The
day after the events we have above recorded, it
appears, according to the Quincy Wing, that Ed
monds, the new clerk had been retailing certain
tales in relation to Maj. Warens transactions
which were false, and the Major went TO the clerks
office to enquire Of tho new clerk what he had
Seen reporting about him. Edmontls reiterated
his statements. which Maj. W. pronounced false,
when Edmonls drew a,pistoI, which aroused the
dandcs OF the Major, who Immediately drew his
B0,cle and made at the Mormon rk.-Buckon-
stos, who was present, as protector OF his tool,
thereupon drew his six.barreled revolver upon
Warren, when lawyer by the name Of Bach.
msn, who was also present, drew his shooting
iron upon Backcnstcs. for the purpose Of laying
him out If he pulled trigger on Warren. AT
this moment, several of the volunteer companies
who were on the outside, hearing high words
rushed in and prevented the row proceeding any
further. The great little nation of Hancock is
again in fever Of excitement, and Gen. Napo-
leon Backens,os cries for blood!

Absus Small I'ota,p,.,

We must own that our neig hbors OF the Con
aiawycr to write reply to our article Of last
wrek al rteerence to the post office advertising
Ne has built them very able lawyer-likc srsu-
ment. and ii bis premises correct, our article
w"old he knocked info cockcdha But unlor,u-
na,cly he was obliged to build upon sand which
every body knows is a very lrali iuurdaiion
I a. 10 accord with tie facts.
| l>t The postmaster general has mt decided
tina, the newspaper having the largest circulation
in the town where the post office is situated, Is
entitled 10 the advertising.
! The only decision coming near to i he ever
made in reference to the posi- office at Buiii-
10, where he decided that the paper having the
larg's, circulation ia Ere county, or hoa circu-
lsrion. was entitled TO the printing. But in the
west IT is we'll known the business Of post office
cxirnd~ over a much larger territory than in SO
popuInus county rs Enc. \. Y. and on this
principle, the aggregate OF our circulation, which
is confined to the three or four surrounding coun-
iie,. is strictly haaL
81 The Free Trader has tho largest hcal circu-
lltiou, and the Iarses, in La Sale county; aud,
therefore,
81. Is enliIcd 10 the advertising.
lh. The law does not make it the duty Of the
postmaster TO receive evidence upon a fact with
which he is personally familiar aud about which
there is no controversy.
9TH. The publishers Of the Conetituiionali-
have not offered to prove that they have the iarg.
es, aggregate circulation the arges, in Ibis cnun

of the Ottawa post office.
Upon the premises thus corrected, we have no
doubt, for penny a line, We can get lawyer to
write a much moro conclusive argument in our
favor, than the publishers Of the Cons,iulionali,t
have had written in their favor.
And finally and TO conclude. we take the occa-
sion to remind all lawyers, penny.a-liners, and
scricrs Of every grade and hue, that John Hise
is not the editor Of this paper, and has not written

Terrible Steamboat Disaster.-From
The officers of The Diamond, arrived yes
terlay, we learn that on the night of the
18th instant the steamboat Belle Zane.
Captain Brazier, while on her way from
Zanesville, Ohio, TO this city, struck a
snag abou! twelve miles below the mouth
of White river, on the Mississippi, and
Immediately turned bottom up. 1t was
about IL o'clock when the accident oc.
Cured, and the night was bitter cold.
Out Of some ninety souls on board at the
time, upmards of fifty persisted By this
terrible accident some of the unfortunate
victims only escaping being drowned to
freeze TO death after reaching the shore !.
At the time Of The disaster of course, the
passengers were all asleep in their ber,hs,
and so suddenly did the boat careen and
90 over that such as made out to release
themselves were only able to snatch a
blanket or counterpaine from their beds
they had no time TO save, much less
pu, on their clothing.
The Diamond came along shor, time
after the accident, and discovered the
wreck of the Belle Zane bottom up. The
officers Of the former boat picked up six
teen of the passengers of the latter, a,
two different points on the Arkansas side.
The unlorlunales, after suffering incred-
bly, from the cold, were finally landed at
Napoleon, where the balance Of those
saved on the Arkansas side had previous
ly assembled. 1t seems that immediate.
ly after the acciden! the cabin separated
from the hull, on which those who were
saved lloaled. The names of those lost
could not be ascor,ained further than that
OF MIR. Bowen, lady and child, Of Zanes-
vile. There were five ladies on board
all of whom were fortunately saved ex.
copt Mrs. Is.
The cargo Of the Belle Zane, and the
United States mail, from louisville,
Memphis, and mouth of the Ohio river,
together with the boa, and fixtures, are a
total loss.-N. o. Picay,n,e, Dec. "a.
