Tn reply to remarks of several Aldermen, Aid.

In reply to remarks Of several Aldermen, Aid.
D. subsequently added:
81 have heard nothing said why the Rev.
Gentleman should not be heard at any place or
hall he may get, and that the Rev. Bishop J. A;
REYNOLDS, or the Rev. P. N. Lynch, D. D. SHOULD
not be heard in reply, if they think fit or proper
so to do. 1 remark farther that should the
Roman Catholic Churches in this city be attack
ed by mob, would be there to defend them
to worship God accorning to the dictates Of their
conscience"
Alderman Gilliland again expressed himself as
favorable to the unrestricted right of speech. No
denomination should shrink from having its doc
trines tested. As a member of the Presbyterian
Church he was willing for its tenets to be dis.
cussed, and saw no reason why any other should
object to a like proceeding. If any one cannot
bear the light, let it be exposed.

Judge O'Neall's Address,

On Tuesday evening last, at Temperance Hall, was
one of the usual efforts of his Honor The subject of
Temperance is an old and hackneyed one, and but few
speakers can invest it with the interest which nvaria-
bly, attends his speeches. Clear and forcibe, he never
fails to impart instruction and carry conviction home to
the minds and hearts OF his hearers. May he be long
spared to the State that the force ohs words AID
example may tell for years to come on the moral ad-
vancement of our people

Tho Giant Has Come

The Nova Scotia Giant boy may now be seen at
Temperance Hall, decidedly the most wonderful speci-
men of humanity of modern times Those who have
not seen him should embrace the present opportunity
of doing so as his stay will be positively limited to
three days It is entirely unnecessary that we should
attempt description of his hghnsss; an outline was
attempted after chad gratied curiosity in Charles
ton. Go and see for yourself and you will be satisfied.

Parson Green is still in the habit, sometimes,
# drawing upon barrel of sermons, bequeathed
him by his father, who was also a minister. Up
on one occasion he got hold of a sermon, by mis-
take, which the old gentleman had once preach

"SAS DIEGO, Feb. IA
CAT length the various parties which left the
Copper Mines in August last, for the survey of
ihc ella river, are reunited at this place. The
urvey of the Gila was completed to within about
sxtv miles of its junction with the Colorado, in
>pite of obstacles which would have deferred
men of less energy. The work was only aban-
,loned from fear of starvation"
"The surveying party lived for more than
twenty days upon beef without other food, even
salt, and the fear of being without this compelled
them to abandon the work. Mr.. l}artletts re-
covery at Ures was slow, and he remained in so
feeble a state that his physicians decided that it
would be imprudent for him to attempt an over
land Journey. Accordingly, our little party was
placed under the direction of Dr. Webb, and
left Urcs on the l4th of December, while Mr..
B. proceeded to Guaymas, to take passage by
sea for this place After meeting with various de-
tentions, he reached here on the 9th inst, much
to the qualification of those who, ignorant of
the cause of his delay, were awaiting his arrival.
"a party of Mormons arrived at Santa Cruz

twenty men, with women and children in pro-

Prophet Esdras, who has designated that as the
promised land of the Latter Day Saints They
belong to the 'Brewsterite division OF the sect,
and hold no fellowship with the followers ofJoe
Smith; indeed, none holding to suca heresies as
those promulgated by Saint joe are to be allow

had a long Journey across the country from the
Rio Grande. A ntimb"- of their oxen had been
stolen by the Ir1' nd their wagons were
mostly drawn I $. They seemed to be in
a destitute cona. , and it was painful to see
families who had left happy homes in land of
plenty toiling through desert inhospitable coun-
try trusting in the visions of dreaming fanatic.
One of their party, Silas Crandall, of Iowa, was
shot by the Indians few days before they arrived
at that town. We left Santa Cruz on the goth
of December, and struck across the mountains in
to the valley of the river, thus avoiding a large
curve, which We must have made had we follow
ed the regular road"

One THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
BALES CorroN BuRyr.-On Thursday ight last,
18th inst fire broke out in one If the large
Warehouses of Messrs j. r. Love and Go. at
White>burg, Ala. which soon communicated to
their Warehouses, and also those of MeSsrs.
Torbct and Cloyd, destroying their contents.
1t is estimated that about 1850 bales of Cot
ton were consumed-about 700 barrels of Salt
quantity of Groceries, Bacon, &c About so
ba es of Cotton were saved, with small portion
of other articles The fire spread with such
rapidity as to put it beyond the power of man
to save the property consumed.
The loss is heavy onc-S6O, 900 will we sup
pose, about cover it. 1t falls mostly upon the
farmers-many losing their entire crop-othcrs
portion of their crop. The loss is very gene
rally diffused and while it will not break any
one yet will operate very prciudicial upon the
community-for the burning Of so much Cotton
is like consuming that much of the circulating
medium of the country. The value of the cot.
ton is about $4,000 which, when sold, would
haue brought that much money into the coun-

WATER MELON BUrrER-A correspondent of
the Prairie Farmer, presents the following method
of using water melons:
81 endeavor every year to raise good water
melon patch. They are healthy and delight
full fruit, think cultivate the ice rind vari-
ETY.; plant early in May, and again towards the
close of the month, so that they may come in
succession. When they commence ripcning We
commence eating, and Use them freely during the
hot weather. When the weather becomes cool
in September, We h.n' a 1u'"sitv OF .h"m t" the
house, split them open with spoon, scrape out
the pulps into cuender, and strain the water
into vessels. We boil it in an iron vessel down
to syrup then put in apples or pc, ches, like ma
king apple butter, and boil slowly until the fruit
is well cooked then s|'ic" t" taste, and you have
something that most n; p"oc viii prefer to ap-
pl. butter. or any kind preserves. Or the sy-
rup may be boiled without fruit down to molas
seS, which will b. found to b" rs fine rs the best
sugar house mollSScS. We have made of fall
as much as ten gallons Of the apple butter, if |
may so call it, and mollSseS, wlric! has kept un-

From Santa Fe.

We have The Santa Fe Gazette from the

following items Of intelligence
The Territorial Legislature OF New Mexico closed
its iession OF forty days sine de- Friday. the 9th

whole, satisfactory.
Precious stones, as emerads, rubies, garnets, &c
are reported to be abundant In the neighoorho0d of
the New Fort Defiance, established by Col Sumner
In the Navajo country. Gold is also supposed to
exist there il consider able abundance. The country

company Of some fifty or sixty men had been or.
sanized In Santa Fe under the command OF Capt.
w. L. Love, to proceed TO the ella IN search Of gold
They were TO start on the Goth Of January.
Mr. II. 3. Johnson had just returned from the ella,
and in letter TO the Editor of The Santa re Gazette
describes the placer very promising. He says:
For miles before coming 10 the placer the exter-
bal sisns OF gold are abundant. Arrived at the placer
We dug from eight TO dozen holes in the SIDE OF
the hill and from each one We took one or more par
licles OF as good gold as I ever saw. We had but
one light crowbar and two shovels, and were not at
the placer more than twenty -four hours, IL that but
we took out enough Of gold to satisfy any reas0na-
Bile man that something handsome may be found by
searching. Fears of the Indians prevented Us from
sojounng there several days"
Major Vaughan had also sent in several Jumps OF
gold from the placer in the neignborhood OF Santa
Fe, one hump weighing three ounces.
Mr. +. Z. Aubrey, the celebf ated trader and trav-
eler, las offered to convey block Of New Mexican
