past summer here. in the publication of tracts ex-

we can blink the nuisance, then, no longer There
it is And if the President negects specifically to
invoke the attention of Congress to the subject there
tbot will sift the matter to the bottom. The New
York Tribune thinks that Young and his colony of
Saxon Turks should be let alone. There is spice
OF socialism in the Mormon phaanx, which, though
please the Fourierite philosophers amazingly.
However, we shall have a lively discussion Of this
business during the coming session, whether the
President shall recommend 1t or not. The Chris
demand that he should, at least, explain why he
has appointed o man with thirty wives, 0ccu-

the more difficult will become its adjustment. 1t
may be settled now in peaceable way; but, in
few years, from the daily increasing strength of the
Mormons by immigration their polygamy can only
be put down by bloody war of determination.
The Union is clarifying over the success of the
democrats in New Jersey. We hope the result there
will be perfectly satisfactory to Master Guthrie.

WASHINGTON, Nov. II, 1853.
Highly Important Concerning Central America-
Discovery of Coal MineS-O Organization of an
american Company for Working Them.
| am informed, upon highly respectable au
thority, that very valuable mines of bituminous
coal have been discovered in the dominions of
the Mosquito King-that equally rich mines have
been discovered on the Pacific side in the same
latitudes-that an American gentleman residing
at Greytown has secured o grant Of land from
the Mosquito King and the State Of Nicaragua,
some fifty miles wide, and running hundred and
fifty miles into the interior embracing the said coal
mines. and that he has entered into an arrangement
with company in New York for the settlement of
this tract by Americans with view to the working
Of the mines, for supplying the California and Gulf
steamers with COAL
am further advised that a member Of this Amer
ican company, who holds distinguished position in
government, has consulted Mr. Champion in refer
ence to the settlement proposed which II designed
to extend to the mines the Pacific side aud that he
in behalf of the British government, has signided
that the work may 60 on-that the British govern
ment can have no objections to the proposed Ameri-
can cclony-that England does not desire the perma
nen occupation nor the proectorate Of the Mosquito
h,tso tpr
terprise, provided such REIMBURSEMENT is not at
tempted to be gained under the Munroe doctrine. In
other words, England is willing to reliaquish the
Mosquito coast to Yankee enterprise for the sake Of
the supplies of Goals which promised if the thing
is undertaken in q friendly way.
! am assured that there is no mistake concerning
this busness-none ia relation TO the said coal mines
that they are rich, and that they have been snfi
cient? explored to justify the organization of COM
pany with a capital to begin with Of q milton Of
money. If this should turn ou, to be the case it will
give Tremendous impetus to the inter-o,eanic en-.
teIprises across all the sthmus passages of Central
America aud Mexico. CARBON.
