expressing tho conviction that the for

es that the allies would have inevitably
taken it, had they assaulted it from the
position they now occupy, on the NOR
row of the day they arrived there. 1t
says Sevastopol can replace one hund.
red dismounted guns in night, or can
exchange 10000 fatigued troops against
10000 fresh troops; That the allies can
not, with double the force they can dis
pose of, cut off the communication by
Perekop. Tho Russian army, fighting
for it's country, and its sovereign, is ami

March, Sevastopol was stronger than
before; that at this moment, the daily al.
he'd losses are greater, and those of the

Notwithstanding the defeat of Gen

have virtually carried Tennessee. The

Americans have clear majority in the

Congres$men. Well done, Tennessee.

pay~ In another column will be seen
an account from Utah, the home of
Mormonism, representing the doleful
prospects of subsistence in the future
Of that infatuated people. The grass
hoppcrs and crickctts are literally eat
ing up their crops, so that they will be
compelled to depend upon transporta-
ton from the States over interminable
plains and through Indian forests, for
their bread. 1t would seem almost to
be Providential visitation, compelling
the hosts Of Mormonism to dispense
from the territory whose name they
have made reproach to civilization
and humanity. If such is to be the
final issue of the grass-hopper plague
very much trouble will it save to our
government, and great distress prevent
for the deluded victims of q sensual and
dcprayed self-stylcd religion.

AHEAD OF THE MoRMoNs. The po-
1ygimists Of Salt Lake find themselves
excelled in their peculiar spritual-wife
doctrines by a community of Socialists,
who have established themselves at Gee
resco," in the county of Fon-du-lac--
Wisconsin. The main article Of their
belief is, "tbe right of every woman to
choose whomsoever she will to perform
the part ola husband for the time, and
to change that person as often as she
may pleases." Considering what "pro-
gress" has been made in introducing
Turkish customs by the residents of Salt
Lake, such community as the "Free
Love Union" of Coresco would seem to
be a very natural institution for the most
perfect realization of the system, freed
from all Inconvenience, the prejudices,
tho laws, morals and instincts Of socie-
ty have hitherto interposed TO its pro-
gress.

MEXICo,--A ashington correspon-
dent of the New York Courier says,
that the news from Mexico is worse for
Santa Anna, than was anticipated His
leutenants have overcome the revolu-
tionists at nj orelia, in the State of Mi
choacan; and he will take good care of
their leaders. This was the headquar-
ters of the revolution in the South, the
inhabitants having the reputation of be-
ing the B'hoys of Mexico, and therefore
consttutionally disposed to lawless vio-
lence. But the real danger was not in
the South, but in the North, where the
insurgents had the advantage of arms
from the American side of the line, and
the more substantial assistance of mum
bers OF light troops, organized as fill
clustering volunteers from the came re-
gion. In those Northern districts some
successes are reported, which, if true,
will cause considerable alarm at the cap
itol. 1t still seems probable that Santa
Anna will fight his way through his
present troubles, bnt if not, he will COM
promise with his opponents by running
away. In that case, the last act of Mex
lean history will commence. a prey
to hopeless domestic anarchy, it must
become an absolute monarchism under
protection of some Of tho European
powers, or join our confederacy as euu al
States Of the Union or as dependent
provinces.-B amer,

two pieces of artillery, and putting to
flight the entire division of the regular
force, who were being persued by the
insurgents, with the hope of capturing
some 100000 which the defeated gene
rails bore with them in their retreat.--
Tho engagement is said to have been
obstinate and bloody. The loss on the
side of the insurgents is given at one
hundred in killed and wounded.

1t is not probable, however, that Mata.

informed from good authority that the

that purpose, and it will necessarily con-
sumo some weeks in accomplishing
that end.
In the meantime Gen. Woll, we are
told is making preparation for their re-
ception. He has commenced clearing
