The Late Riots In New York.

The prompt and energetic action ot the
City authorities had most salutary ct
feet, aud all has again become quiet. Eff
furts were made TO induce the moboCrnts
to resist the officers; but The determine
ton of the Mayor to put down every at
tempt to disturb the peace Of the city pre-
vented any further demonstration.
A large number of the leading rioters
have been arrested and il is to be hoped
will be dealt with in such manner as
will have good and salutary effect. Our
country has been dsgraced too often by
such scenes as these, and to tamper with
mobs is to inci ease the number.
Allor full and impartial examination,
tho Coroner's Jury justified the City au-
thori,ies in firing upon The mob, and the
result of their deliberations appears to
have given general satisfaction.
II is to be lamented that quarrel be.

SWORD TO MAJOR VESSELS.

In the Senate of this. State, on Thurs
day last, Gen. Bacon offered a resolu-
ton that $500 be appropriated for the
purchase Of a sword for Major Henry
w. Vessels for his gallant conduct In
Mexico.
Gen. Bacon remarked that the officer
named in the resolution for valor and
good conduct was second to none in the
army. His services were not confined to
| the Mexican war; in the pestilential eli
mate of Florida and in the midst of the
barbarities of an Indian warfare, he was
eminently conspicuous, and for consid-
cradle length of time commanded one of
the most exposed posts on that frontier.
He landed at Vera Cruz with the column
commanded by Gen. Scott, and was one
of the bravest officers that took part in
that bombardment. At the storming of
the heights of Cerro Gordo he was fore
most in the assaulting column. and for
his daring gallantry on that occasion, he
was promoted to the rank of captain. In
the victorious assault upon the entrench-
ed camp at Conteras he sustained the
high reputation he hal already won, and
at the battle of Cherubusco, when the
color sergeant of his regiment was shot
down at his side, he seized The colors
while falling to the earth, and with his
own hands bore them triumphantly
through the residue of that sanguinary
aghs, although suffering at the time from
the effects Of an agoniEing wound. AT
the close Of the war he was promoted to
the rank Of Major, and is now serving his
country in distant quarter Of CUR land.
Ifeei that should fail in the discharge
of my duty were I to permit aresolu-
ton to pass which pays deserved COM
plimeAt to another brave and highly
meritorious officer, without performing
this act Of justice to citizen Of my own
county. to a native Of my own town, and
] rejoice that the opportunity has been
afforded me to bear my humble tribute
Of respect to the worth and gallant,y Of
Major Henry w. Vessels.
Resolution passed.

Resolved, That we deeply lament the
dispensation Of Divine Providence which
has called from our midst our late, Exec
utive, JAMES X. POLK.
Resolved, That in his death the nation
has suffered loss which it is seldom
called TO mourn, in that Of an honest man,
a profound statesman, and devoted pat
riot.
Resolved, That however rife party spi-
it was during his administration. in the
deplorable extremes to which self interest
and even the honorable conflict of opinion
drive men, It is betting ON this occasion
that the III feelings which always attend
political struggles, and the memory of
them. should be laid aside, to contemplate
the character Of the man, the statesman,
and the Christian.

for the loss which the country has sus-
tanned in his death, the bells Of this vii
lage shall be tolled tomorrow. between

THE MORMONS.-We find in the
New York Herald a long document en-
titled "The First General Epistle Of the
First Presidency of the Church of Jesus
Christ, Of Latter Day Saints. from the
Gveat Salt Lake Valley to the Saints
throughout the. EARTH" The rise of
Mormonism is one of the most remarkable
events Of the age. Commenced by ig-
norant men. and founded on the most
palpable frauds, it has nevertheless drawn
into its support hundreds Of persons who
had the reputation Of being intelligent
and honest. Prosecuted, mobbed, dis
franchised. and finally driven by force
from their homes, they continued to in
crease in numbers, and now, in the ex-
tensive and fertile valleys of the Great
Salt Lake, they have found a permanent
Judgment. Far removed from the reach
Of persecution. they are laying out the
streets Of new city. aad building new
Temple. The "Epistle" states that sew
en- thousand Mormons in England are
making preparation to emigrate to the
new settlement, and that two thousand
| converts to Mcrmonisln have been made
in the Society Islands within the past year,
Missionaries are being seat abroad to all
nations, and there are various indications
fenergy and perseverance IN the people.
