The Iron Region Of Lake Superior.

Collins to the lroa region of Lake Supe-

The Allies in the Pacific
We have received via San Francisco,
some intelligence concerning the move
ment OF Allied Fleets IN the North Pa
clic. Three British men-of- war arrived
at Ayan, in the Okhotsk Sea, on the 9th
OF July, and, finding the place deserted,
they sacked il and blew up a steamer
that the Russians had buried. in the
ground. The british Commander, Cap
tain Fredericks, of the Amphitrite, had
issued a proclamation ordering all neu-
trail vessels 10 depart from Ayan. under

Unitei States Surveying steamship John
Hancock, which brought his news to San
Francisco, reports that the Allied Fleet,
at latest dates, were in the Gulf of Tar

the Amoor River, whittier the Russians
had fled. The banks of the Amoor were
strongly defended by forts, and a large
numb Of gun boats and cutters guard
ed both passages. Hence it was antici-
pated that if the Allies succeeded in ef-
iecling their object, it could only be af-

1t is stated that some time since, at the request
of the Supreme Court of the United States, a spe-
cial messenger was despatched to Mexico to pur-
chase any books in the libraries or amcng the ar
chieves of that city which could reflect light upon
our early history. Many valuable books and
documents were obtained; among them, letter
from the Conde d. Acanda, Minister Of Charles
Ill, of Spain, in relation to treaty between that
kingdom and the revolted colonies of Great Bri-
tain in North America, concluded some time in
1I9. Spain was induced by France, eager to
avenge to avenge the loss of her own Canadian
possessions upon Great Britain, to join in war
anst the latter country.

ance, but was overruled by the French Influence

Was Washington a Profane Swearer

Wesupposc ali our readers have read story
taken from some of our popular Magazines and
circulated by some Journals-accusing Washing
ton of profane swearing account of injurious
treatment from Edward Randolph; to which, in
course Of time, another libel was added of his
having "swore like trooper over his il-luck at
Neppeshau.''
y correspondent Of the Tribune proposes to
satisfy the curious on this point, by the following
abstract from the Generals original order book
"Alany and pointed orders have been issued
against that unmeaning, and abominable custom
of swearing: notwithstand;n. WHICH. with much
regret the General perceives that it prevails, if
possible, more than ever. His feelings are con-
tinually wounded by the oaths and imprecations
of the soldiers when in hearing distance. The
name of that Great Being from whose bountiful
goodness we are permitted to exist, and enjoy the
comforts of life is necessarily imprecated and pro
famed IN manner as wantOn as it is Shocking
For the sake, therefore, of religion decencv, and
order, the General hopes and trusts that the off,
GERS OF every rank will their influence and au
thority to check vice which is as Improbable as
Improbable as it is wicked and shameful. If Off
GERS would make it an invariable rule to rep,i-
mand, and, if that would not do, punish soldiers
for offences of this kind it could not fail of hav-
ing the desired effect.''

AGE OF THE WoRLD.-Sir Charles Lyell, the
eminent English geologist, believes that it must
have taken 81 900 years to form the delta of the
Mississippi river, and $4,000 years for the Niaga-

to Queenstown. Nearly all the eminent geolo-
gsts believe this and they consider that they have
facts to prove it, and so strong that they cannot
be gainsayed.

Brigham Young and Col. s.ep.oe.


The New York Journal of Commerce SAYS that
Brigham Young is liable to become dangerous
enemy to the future peace of the United States.
Yet his cunning seems equal to his audacity and
proAigacy, and the manner in which he has begun
to undermine the influence Of Col. Stcptoe, in or
der to continue to WELD the power of which he is
legally dispossessed, is scarcely such as to bring
him within the reach Of justice. Col Stcptce has
not yet accepted the Office of Governor Of Utah,
and no pretext yet exists for calumny and attack
against himself, personally; therefore Brigham
Young processes for the new appointee, individu-
ally, conditional esteem and attachment. Tho
army of Col. Steptoe, however, by which alone
he could be sustained in Office among the Mahom-
edans of Utah, is the force hitherto under his
command as an officer in the United States Army,
and the troops of Young are therefore directed =
to render the soldiers and junior officers, at Salt
Lake City, as odious as possible in the eyes of his
fellow-citizens. He says of them: ssWe have some
of the most corrupt, damnable, mean curses here
that ever disgraced the earth;' and his incendiary
language is apparently intended to arouse armed
hostility against them, if necessary to accomplish
his ends. This is indicated by his own express
declaration. lie says, ssfor q man to come hero
and infringe upon my individual rights and privi-
/ lcges, and upon those Of my brethren, will never
meet with my sanction, and will scourge such a
ono until he leaves. Lam after him. - s5
According to some accounts, considerable dis
affection exists among the Mormons themselves,
on account of Young's arrogance and tyranny;
but it is more probable that he exerts an influence
as High Priest which is yet mistaken, and that
his miserably deluded followers arc prepared to
follow to any lengths his desperate suggestions.
We trust that our Government at Washington is
fully prepared for all emergencies that may arise
at Salt Lake City, and that the authority bestow-
ed upon Gov. Steptoc will be backed by a suk-
cient force to maintain it at every hazard. L 80

We have been up in the Empire Block, over
Farwel's Hardware Store, to look at one of At
tix's Portable Circular Saw Machines. 1t is the
most admirable labor saving contrivance we ever
saw. 1t performs miracles of wood work. 1t
splits boards into ribbons fine enough to wreath
in q .lady's bonnet. 1t performs almost every
.tnown process of saving or cutting.
1t is adapted to the most delicate and perfect
jointing, 70 r:hbiting of any possible guage, and
produces in haiee-a-jiH@,v results as smooth and
finished as the Carpenter can Usually produce in
days labor with the ordinary Implements and
in fact obviatcs the necessity Of half his tools.
For the variety Of purposes to which it may be
applied-the immense amount Of labor saved
for the beauty of its work and simplicity of con-
struction, we consider it one of the most valuable
inventions of the time. 1t is easily portable,
worked by single hand-no disorderly complica-
tions about it. Every mechanic should go see it.
It's worth five dollars to look at it. 1t can be seen
over Farwelrs store in the Empire Block.

YOU DON'T SAY SO.


"This is a mighty cold climate" we over.
heard some Hoosier saying as we passed him on
the Boulevards yesterday morning.
Know he was Hoosier by his soapy whiskers
and informal hat, to say nothing of his ignorance.
He said it in a knowing final sort of way, as all
Hoosers do, as if series of careful observations
which he had been employed in making for num-
Der of years had established this meteorological
fact conclusively in his nodde, and he had just
arrived to communicate the fact to the uncon-
scious inhabitants Gas piece of information like
y to be interesting' The fact is, he had just got
of the boat. He came here Just as the air was a
little chilled by raw, wet wind from the South;
one of those slight changes of temperature from
which Minnesota is more exempt than any tenn
perate latitude. Its little cool, but nobody
puts on a thicker coat for it-no fires are lighted.
Everybody welcomes the refreshing change from
the long spell of hot weather and dry dust
everybody but the philosophic Hoosier, to whom
the single instance is the general law. If his IL
lustrious advent had been celebrated by show
of rain it would have been equally conclusive to
establish the postutate that mud and wet were
distinctive peculiarities of our climate.
1t was Hoosier, we believc-probably the
same one-who never could be induced to 90 to
church, 'cause, said he, ''the darned things amt
safe. l heer'n tell on one down in Kentuck
that was struck with lightnin, and Sal, who reads
'tarncl smart in the spellin' book, says a meet
in' house in Africa was knocked to smash in
thunder storm. l have come to the conclusion
says he, "that lightnin' is aprevailin' character
streuk of meetin' houses.'
For the benefit therefore Of this sapient uoosier
5g leave to tell him that last week severe frosts
prevailed all over Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Mssou-
ri and Wisconsin, that fruit and vegetables
of every description were severely injured-of all
which he can find the history duly recorded in our
issue of the 10Th. Accounts show that all the
Western and some of the Middle States were vis-
tied with destructive snap of cold.
Minnesota alone has been exempt and yet the
'od roted fool insists that this is cold climate,
because the thermometer isn't 900 above zero.
