journed, to meet again on the first
Saturday in November, and will con-
itnue to meet monthly at The. same

mass of the meeting were natixe-born
citizens. They are calm, deliberate,
and firm in their resolves to oppose
the unprincipled frauds fastened upt
on the South by a corrupt Govern,
sment and Congress, r.
They will adopt non-intercourse
with all the enemies of the South,
domestic and foreign-in business as

course by the which we can save our
selves from the influence of Northern
capital and Northern arrogance and

resume her profession as an actress,

The. .Wyandots.-The minutes of
the late yearly meeting of Friends,
held at Baltimore, says:
1--WE have been from the Indian
Bureau at. Washington that the Wy
andot:tribe Of Indians, to, whom some
assistance was formerly extended by
this meeting, and who subsequently
removed from their residence at,San-
dusky, in the State of Ohio, into the
country between the Missouri and
Kansas rivers, had concluded to re-
linquish their nationality, and to hold
Their property hereafter in severalty;
and furthermore had requested to be
admitted as citizens of the United
States; 'r' "a,
"T'he committee appointed to treat
with them on'tlfe occasion represen-
ted, THAT the Wyandot people have
SO far advaficed in civilization as to
be capable, generally, of managing
tfeir own affairs,h and are qualified
and calculated to become useful eiti-
zens-a large portion'of them being
already engaged in agricultural pur-
suits. CAV.
TIE MORMON CoMMo1 1oN.--ADAMs AND
STRANG.-This most remarkable peope,
under their prophet Strang, have made vast
improvements on Beaver Island, in Lake
Michigan. They number about six huu-
dred, and each man holds 40 TO 160 acres
of land as an everlasting inheritance. Bea-
yer islands have the best inland fishery in
the Union, and the best natural harbor ON
the lakes. They. ,have two sail vessels of
their own, and are building wharf for pas
sing steamers to stop at. Garden Islnud,
six miles square, is one nf the richest aud
most beautiful islands ou the face of the
earth. The Big Beaver is six by fourteen
miles in extent. Several beautiful, well
timbercd islands surround the Big Beaver;
each about six miles square, we see,
however, that dissensions have broken out
among them. A correspondent of the
Cleveland, Ohio, Plaindealer says,
'ihEldev Adams, who is Mormon preach
or and 'Tragedian by turns, had to flee for
his life, in consequence of having provoked
the wrath of James e. Slrang, ono of the
prophets, who, it,seenas sets up his will as
the supreme law. Strang is charged with
robbiug the gontiies, as he calls all who do
not acknowledge his law, of provision and
such other goods and ehqttcls as the saints
require. Adams promises TO expose the
wicked practises of Strang and his follow
CTS. Strang has been arregted, taken to
Maehuac where he was tried and sentenced
to six months imprisonment in the county
jail
