ting the dignity aud security of the republic
The Mesilla Valley may be highly important to
the country; but "the valleys of the mountains"
are far more so. Governor Tras has de parted
from the one; Governor Brigham Young should
disappear from the others. There is no real
need for the large military force which General
Garland is conducting to New Mexico; and
will be terribly expensive to maintain them
in that blrren region. Utah is more fertile
and the troops would be exceedingly useful
there; especially in facilitating transferenee Of
the Territorial power from the unsafe hands to
which it has been so long, so imprudently and SO
uuworthily committed"

Correspondence of the Richmond Times

WAsHINGToN, June Is, 1858.
As the readers Of the Times have already been
apprized, presume, contract has been made
for the purchase of the Mount Vernon estate,
with the condition that it shall be offered to
Congress for $25O,oo0. 1t is believed that the
party contracting for the estate are not DESTROYS
Of selling it to the Government but would much
prefer going to the expense Of making it place
of great attraction to visitors, and, in this way,
specializing out of the remains of the Father of
our Country. The bones of Washington ought
not to be soiIed by the hands of spectators, but
should rest entombed in land owned and taken
care of by the National Government and which
the people could feel at liberty at all times to
visit, knowing that they treadng upon their
own soil, while standing around the tomb of him
who was first in war, first in peace, and first in
the hearts of his countrymen. Should the Gen
eral Government not buy it, Virginia should not
let another legislature meet and adj ourn without
making it her own. Mount Vernon and Monti-
cello should belong to the State of Virginia-to
the people-and never be suffered to pass into the
hands of spectators.
1t is believed by some that there is mutua
understanding between the parties contracting
for the purchase of Mount Vernon, that strong
effort shall be made to force Congress to buy
the estate and that each should share in the pro
fits.
The force in the Census office is to be reduced
on the frs: of the month from fifty to twelve
clerks, and the bureau removed to the new Patent
Office building. tits expected that the detail
ed work will have been closed by the first of Ju-
ly
The examination of the clerks in the Pen sion
bureau commenced Observation-Disclosures Wal
do, Joseph Wilson, and Charles e. Mix, exami-
ners. The present force in the office is over no,
and the Secretary has stated that under the law
classifying clerks this force would have to be re-
duced to fifty Should twenty five new appoint
ments be made, the enforcement of this decision
will cause the removal of over 80 now in the OF
fee. Can this be done?

THE AMERICAN Mission TO SpAlN.-Th

THE AMERICAN Mission TO SpAlN.-The
London Times, noticing the diplomatic appoint
ments of Gen. Pierce, excerpts to Mr. Borand
and Mr.. Soule, md says of the latter -
Such mission has the air of provocative,
rather than pacific, errand; and it is impossible
not to connect the menacing expressions contain
ed in General Pierce's inaugural address with the
known character and opinions of the whom
he selects to carry his policy into execution
Meanwhile, the Spanish Government itself is do
Jog more than any foreign conspiracy can attempt
or any foreign minister desire, to weaken its hold
Cuba, ard to prepare the world to view the
overthrow of its authority in that Island without
regret or displeasure; for that authority is every
day more closely and directly identified wi h the
prosecution of the slave trade in its most odious
and execrable form. The violence and fraud by
which whole tribes of native Africans are bra
tally kidnapped into slavery are encouraged and
protected by the gross corruption of the Govern
ment; and the price of blood drained from the
colony is amused among the gnblessed wealth OF
the royal palace. Upon a nation guilty Of such
crimes by the hands Of its rulers, we know not
when chastsement will fall but it is less difficult
to foresee the quarter from which tho blow will
come, for the rapaeity Of the Southern States Of
North America, of which slr. Sople is the ac-
knowedgsd representative, is obviously the power
by which the atrocities of the slave trace in Cuba
will be avenged.

HUSTINGS COURT.

The regular monthly term of this court com.
menced Monday. As usual, little or no genera,
business was transacted the first day. Yesterday,
however, the Court disposed of several important
| cases, as will be seen from The report Glow

Nj. Pace was arraigned upon the charge of steal
! gon the 9Th of May, a silver watch, the pro.
perty of VIM. Cunning. The evidence being
clear and positive, the prisoner was adudged
guilty and sentenced to be punished with stripes

coming surety in the sum of $500 70, his appear

"fraigned upon the charge Of firing the Coal
house attached to Mr. DIS foundry. After full
ly investigating the case, the Court arrived Mt
tho conclusion that tho evidence was insufficient
to convict; whereupon the prisoner was discharg
ed from custody. Shortly after the decision had
been announced, Mr.. Denoon prayed The Court
to grant revocation of the inientures, by which
Scott Was bound to him. The Court granted the
revocation. Scott is therefore free man-free
to act as he peases. Attention Richmond Fire

California gives, by the arrival ofeach steamer,
renewed evidence of n prosperous and growing
State. Most people have their attention called
to the quantity of gold procured in the Cafor-
MIA mines, and think more of the gold produced
there than they do of any other product of the
soil. We are, however, more and more struck
with the agricultural power of this new State
than even with the gold which comes from
thence The gold is well enough, and we do not
mean to depreciate it; but it reads more pleas

And he dies in the western sky.
When evening twilight closes fast.

When the glistenng stars of heaven do pour
