Tho Mexican Treaty.

The President has informed the House OF Rep
resenatives that the Government of Mexico agrees
to the amendments proposed by the Senate to the
Gadsden treaty, and asked for an appropriation OF
ten millions of dollars to enable him to comply
with his part of the bargain. The treaty requires
the United States to pay to Mexico seven MIL
lions of dollars on the exchange of Tatiilcatlons
and three millions when the boundaries OF the &C.
ded territory shall be settled. The time within
which the ratification can be exchanged will ex'
nire on the 3Oth inst, and the House Committee
Of WAYS and Means have promptly reported bill
in accordance with the Presidents request. The
bill. however, meets with some opposition, par
ticularly from COL Benton, on the ground OF cor
rsplion in the negotiation Of the treaty, and the
worhlessness of the land acquired.
Besides the additional territory ceded 10 the
United States, Mexico sbrogates the article OF the
treaty of Gaadalupe Hidalgo which requires 10 ts
protect her people from the inroads of Indians Tes
ding within our borders the provisions OF 9TH
er articles of the same treaty are also annulled
and the vessels and citizens Of the United States
are to have free passage through the Cult OF Cali
fornia. The privilege Of transit across the 18TH
mus of ,Tehaantepec, moreover, is conceded.

Another Row,

Another disgraceful fracas occurred IN the low

and the offended dignity of the House was thus
spueased. Gen. Millson, of this State, offered d
resolution f1r the appointment of committee of
Investigation. but withdrew it after making some
,aliating remarks. Another member Mr. Brooks.
rave notice that he would introduce resolutions
far expelling any member bringing concealed
weapons into the House. by two-thirds vote ;
and directing the Sergeant-at Arms to have a
rack erected in the R1tunda, where the weapons
shall be expused to the inspection of the curious.
The House was highly amused at this PROPOSE
,ien, and So the affair terminated. If such occur
reoces continue. however, the result will DO that
no toleraby respectable man will consent to go to
Congress.

famine In PnIcsilnc.

The Jews residing in jerusalem have appealed
10 their brethren in England and America to save
them from the holrors OF starvation. 10 their let
ter addressed to Sir Moses Montefore, of London,
they say
The deaIth has raised the price Of food TO an
enormous height and it's results are state OF an
archy and confusion, in which every mans hand
is raised against his brother, and violence is be-
coming rife in the land. For who can endure
with accomplishing furtitnde that terrible death,
death by famine and see day by day the wife OF
his youth and the children Of his love sink into
the crave without an effort TO relieve them.
Brethren! if you could but witness the misery
we are enduring. the widow running to and fro,
asking the refuse of food for her starving orphans
and men profoundly learned in the law, former
" through their abundant charity the stay OF the
community. now wandering up and down the
streets of Jerusalem seeking aims, ay. seeking
bread. your hearts would melt in compassion.
The misery we endure is augmented by the
worst anticipation, for the circumstances under
which we now suffer may be seized by our tradu-
GERS as being most opportune for the development
of their plans, and what may not ensue when tam
ished multtudes are tempted by the BRIDE Of food
For already dreadful to relate. the father trai[cs
for the sale of his child to the stranger, 50 that
bis offspring may be spared death from starvation
For be it known that the sufIerings of our nation
here, in all the frighdul horrors which at present
exist, have never been surpassed.

Heavv Rain

On Saturday afternoon last, the heaviest rain
fell in Staunton which we remember to have seen
for many years. The water courses passing
through nur town were swollen TO such an extent
as TO overflow their banks in some places. and
flood the streets. The street between the Lu-
theran Church and Bickle's Corner and from
Bckle's corner to the Jail was one solid sheet Of
water. Various cellars were filled and considera-
BILE damage done to their contents. The wall en-
trance to Mr. Piper's cellar, on Main street caved
in and his cellar was com pletely submerged The
cellars of Harper s. Bro, aud Morris & Goode,
Dr.. Gilmer's. our own, and others on Augusta
street were also filled TO overhowlng. The gar
dens on the line of the creek were seriously In
iured. in the Northern end of the town the wa
ter was so high tina, one family had to be removed
from their residence on horseback, Asa matter Of
course. the streets were considerably washed in
some places.
Such disasters as this suggest the proprlety OF
widening the channel Of the creek, opposite the
Lutheran Church, at as early day as possible
Money may be much more judiciously expended
il. this way than in building mammoth market
hOuse

The Mornonss'

The rapid Increase of MurmOusm Is beginning
- attract general attention. not only IN tils eoah-
try bu, also in Earupe The people OF Utah, al
though as yet an Integral portion OF the PoPulauon
subrct 10 the United States Government, bid
fair before many wears to become fowe' IN 'ne
earth. Their chief object now appears to be 10
sxeN their numbers to $4,000, when they can

and according to their steseat Fatea o. increase

When Capt Stansbury visited Utah IN 1907 the
Mormon population was estimated at about &C.
600. of which 700 were copgregated In Salt Lake
City, and the rest scattered over the territory
The increase BY emigration is estimated at 3,OUO
u year. and by births at 1000. The Mormons
have Missionaries and Churches in England,
Denmark, Sweden, Norway. Ireland, Frances
Germany, Italy, Switzerland Hindostan, Austria,
lie. the Sandwich Islands, Ssm, Ceylon, China,
South America and ether countries; and the duty
of their preachers is not 50 much to lncueale any
particular religious belief, as to persuade people to
submit to Brigham Young. and emigrate to u
tabor ''come home" Their present temper and
ulteriur designs may be inferred from Brig ham
Young's remarks in his recent address TO his peo-
ple-He said he had no fears whatever of Frank
lin Pierce cxcusug him from ofice-'I am and
will be Governor, and no power can hinder it, un-
Ill the Lord Almighty says, Brigham, you need
not be Governor any longer" At this day he
is said to have well disciplined military force
under his command, superior 10 any the United
States could readily send against him.
The religious system of he Mormons-ifit can
be called religious-is the most absurd and deba-
sing that can be imagined 1t prescribes mode
Of public worship, but inculcates no devotional
sentiments, and has no other fixed creed than that
Brigham Young is an inspired prophet. 1t is
changeable as the wind. and liable 10 be entirely
rcvouionlzed at any moment by a new "revela-
ton" Thus poygamy. which was expressly
forbidden in the book OF Mormon, is now author
lied and declared 10 be ",he special blessing Of

present that there are innumerablc gods with diff
ferent degrees Of power.
Brigham is a rough, shrewd fellow, great in
action, who usually clothes his ideas in unintelli-
gible bombast, but can upon occasion write with
much propriety and good sense.

TIE IRrsH Exopus-The Irish journals are
largely occupied with details Of the emigration
movement. Thousands of the natives of tie soil
were gathering together their little worldly pro-
perty and preparing 10 depart either the United
States or Australia The Athone Sentinel says
that .severy day the railway station is crowded
with persons proceeding to America" The
Dundalk Democrat says that ''evrry boat that
leaves the quays carried off Numbers Of persons
from that and the adjoining counties on their
way 10 tie United States, the passage money in
most cases being paid on the American side Of the
Atlantic" The Tuam Herald notices the de-
partnre of three huhdred emigrants. all within a
fortnight. and all destined for the United States.
The Waterford News also chronicles the depart
ure of two steamers, both of them cTowded with
adventures for America The Galway Packet
saws that emigration to the United States is on
The increase, and that "betore the end Of the year
Ireland will be literally deserted, and the silence
and desoaion which now brood over Connemara
will be visible in the more populous districts OF
the country" The Sligo Chronicle says that the
"continuance of the rage for leaving Ireland is one
of the extraordinary features of The times and is
wholly inexplicable when we consider the present
prosperous state of the country and the accounts
continually received of the sad Disappointment
experienced by thousands who were happy and
comfortable at home"

session with the discussion of Senator Slidell's
proposition for the abrogation of the 9Th article Of
the Ashbnrton treaty. and the Withdrawal OF a
portion at least of the American Squadron On the
African coast. The Committee of Foreign Rela-
tons. 70 whom the proposition was referred J., have
reported strongly in favor If the abrGgaiion Of The
article, on the ground Oft the expensiveness ofkeep-

venting the slave trade. They at the same time
scIaIm IN the strongest terms any parpose OF en-
couraging the trade. or of relaxing any ency
