A Card.

The undersigned, as the father of HENRY
Corr MATHER, laboring under feelings of unut-
cradle anguish for the severe loss of a well be-
loved son, takes this method to express his feel
ings of deep, firm and lasting gratitude to Drs
FUTILE and MONROE, for theirprompt attention
and exertions to save life, after one of the most
distressing accidents-also to Rev. Mr.. FERRY
and family for their kindness, and unremittng
attention to the sufferer while living, and to the
community generally, for their sympathy and
care of my unfortunate boy. Although he was
stranger among you, it is consoling, indeed, to
me-and know it will be to my afflicted fam
lily, when the extent of their loss is made known
to them-that his death bed was surrounded
with true fraternal feeling, and that our loss is
deeply and feelingly mourned by strangers
For all this kindness, pray God to shower up
on you the choicest of Heavens blessings.

Cow. SToCKTON-NAvY ABUsEs.-This gal
liant officer has recently made powerful and eff
fective speech in his place in the u. S. Senate,
in defence Of the law of the last session of Con-
gress, aboshing the degrading punishment of
the lash in the u. S. Navy, and which is sought
to be revived by some of the old tyrants who
linger in the service.
1t seems that petition has been sent in to
the Senate, praying for the restoration of fog
ging in the navy, and a motion TO consider it,
brought Com. STOCKTON to the floor in speech
replete with sound sense and argument, as well
as deep feeling and high toned eloquence-
His appeal to the sensibilties of his auditory, is
one Of the most impassioned efforts we ever
read
There must be something exceedingly brutal
and demoraising i'll a system, such as the gal
liant Senator has so pOintedly held up to public
Reproduction An officer of his years and expe-
rience cannot but be familiar with the practical
workings of code, one Of whose features has
been the treating men like beasts of burthen,
and subiectng them to like punishment, and
we have no fears that after listening to his
exposures, the Senate will re-enact penalty so
abhorrent to every principle of manhood.
Every friend of the gallant defenders of our
! floating castles, and every heart that believes
that sailors are human beings, and can be con-
trolled by the law Of kindness and moral sua-
sion, will feel deeply grateful to the Senator
| from New Jersey, for his stirring defence. He
has demonstrated, most clearly, that all officers
in the naval service, who are unable to govern
their subordinates by appeals to reason, and by
a mild parental authority, are wanting in the es-
sential requisites for their positions, however
much they are to be commended for personal
bravery. Free Press.

THE MoRMoNs IN UTAH-The Official Report
of the United States Judges in the Territory Of
Utah, as made to the President, has been pub
lished. 1t is document of three columns, sign
ed by Chief Justice Brandeburg, Judge Broc-
chus and Secretary Harris. The hostile and
seditious sentiments manifested by Governor
Brigham Young, are assigned as reasons for the
withdrawal of the Judicial officers of the Terri
tory. The Report explains at great length the
religious organization and powers OF the Nor
mons: and enters into a detail Of sundry mall
practices of Governor Young and his followers.
The Government of the United States is, accor-
ding TO the Report, shamefully spoken OF and
ill-treated; the officers sent out for the Govern
ment of the Territory were refused hearing !;
and Gov. Young INDUCED in sundry maedic-
tons upon the memory of Gen. Taylor
These statements have already been published,
unoAicially 1t is not necessary to repeat them.
The Report proceeds TO comment upon the
prevalence Of polygamy in the Territory. Plu-
rality of wives is openly avowed and practiced,
under the sanction and in obedience to the d.
rect command of the Church. So universal is
this practice that very few, If any, leading men
in the community eau be found who have not
more than one wife each. The evil can never
be made statuary offence by Mormon Legis-
lature and if a crime at common law, the Court
would be powerless, with Mormon juries.
The Great Salt Lake City is an important
point in the Overland route to the Pacific, but
the emigrant avoids it. No man can open his
mouth in opposition to the lawess exactions of
the populace, with safety to his liberty business
or life. In view of these circumstances the Justi
ces by whom the present document Is indicted
| deemed it proper TO withdraw. They submit
their case TO the President for considerations

~ We have frequently adverted in our col
umus to the importance not only of that portion
of the State through which the Northern Rail
road will pass, but to what we thought safe
and remunerating investment for those who
would be stockholders in this road, and we are
pleased to learn that it is the intention of the
Company having the charter for this road to be-
stir themselves and put in operation this highly
beneficial enterprise. We elliptic following on
this subject from the Detroit Tribune Of the
Goth inst
"Northern Michigan has been much neglect
ed in public works ofimprovement While 9TH
er portions Of the State have realized the advan-
tage of easy access to market, the North has suf-
fered for the want Of such facilities. The eX-
tension and completion of the Pontiac Railroad,
from this city to Grand Haven is very much
needed and, we are pleased to learn, it is the in
tention Of the Company holding the charter for
that road, to build and put it in operation at as
early day as possible No route offers great
err inducements or more profitable returns. 1t
will open an avenue for travel and business, to
a new and much the largest, and richest portion
of the lower Peninsula Of our State. Form the
want of such communication, comparatively lit
tie is known of that part Of Michigan. In fer
tility and natural advantages it offers induce
ments equal to any other section, and being far
the largest part of the State, Northern Michigan
offers pecuniary advantages, arising from settle
ment, improvement and rise Of property, great
er than any possessed by any other State in the
West. We hope the attention of Emigrants
and Capital from the Eastern States will be tuG-
ned to that fair and comparatively new portion
of our State, confident, as we are that in 10 part
of the West is there to be found a more profit
able field for enterprise"

by which the latest intelligence is received from
France. Notwithstanding the recent assurances
of universal tranquility throughout the Repub-
lic," Louis Napoleon has crowned his coup d.
etot of December last by assuming the title of
=" Emperor;" and French coin has already been
struck with the significant inscription Of z" Louis
Napoleon, Emperor" Already has his life been
hazarded by the erring shot of a soldier of the
regiment of the line. 1t is said that the sove-
reigns of Europe, struck with dismay at the sue
cess of Napoleon have notified him that they are
prepared to enforce the treaty of Vienna, which
prohibits any legitimate descendant Of the En-
peror Napoleon from succeeding to the lmperi-
al title. We await the development of this as

About month previous to the election of

that the letters composing the name Zachary
Taylor, made total value of l73. Then taking
the words twill be President" he found that

number ofelectoral votes; and curiously enough
the result proved his conclusion correct.

It is stated that dispatches are here, announ-

The expenses of Kossuth and suite, at Brom's
Hotel are stated to be $500 per day.
The following is the substance of the cores
pondence between Commodore Morgan and
Captain Long, relative to Kossuth. When the
Mississippi arrived at Spezzia, it transpired that
it was not Kossuth's intention to 60 direct to
the u S., but that he only intended visit for
the purposes disclosed since his arrival here,
and when informed that the policy of the U. S.
was not Intervention be said he would feel in
clned not to 60 at ALL
He desired not to go 10 receive personal hon.
age, but aiming only at the freedom of his
country. This avowal was transmitted from
Spezzia with heightened cooring, and reached
Marseilles simultaneously with Kossuths arri-
VAL and was the cause of the misunderstand-
ing, after he had gone on shore upder the guar
anty Of the Consul that he would hold himself
obedent to the determination Of the French
authorities, relative to passage through France,
and an excitement arose in that city, Of which
the public are already appraised.
Owing to this event the Consul wrote TO Capt.
Long, which was shown to Kossuth. He look
ed upon this as an official act of the Consul,
and replied and took different view Of the case,
assuming that the demonstrations were Of
nature not to be looked upon with any disfavor
by the American Government
He then said that being unwilling to be in n
position of disagreement with the American Of
ficers in what might embarrass them he would
leave at Gibralter, and go to England, and thence
by private conveyance to the U. S., and leave the
future to decide on the justice eff his views
