MORMON AFrAiRs.-A Washington letter
says: Col. S,eptoe of the United States army
is here, the guest of the President at the Ex-
ccutive Mansion. 1t will be remembered he
was appointed by the President last winter to
succeed Brigham Young in the Governorship
of Utah, but declined to accept the response
bic position. understand it his opinion that
no other than military Governor, with an
adequate military force, can ever prove the
error of Young's boast, that he will be Gov
ernor of Utah until God Almighty tells him
he need be Governor no longer. AS military
Governor, Col. Stcptoo would undertake to
teach the Mormons the necessity of obedience
to Federal authority, but not otherwise. 1t
Is now year and half since the Presidents
determination to test the QUESTION of sove-
reignty with the Mormons was announced,
but the issue has not yet been made.

THE POST.
ATHENS, FRIDAY, NOV. 2. 1855.

FIEANcIAL AND CoMMERCIAL.-The New
York money market appears to have been
considerably disqueted by the financial and
commercial intelligence received by the At
lantic. The market was affected, says the
Express, by the ascertained fact that in the
face of the active demand Cor breadstuffs and
the belief industrously spread that instead
of shipping gold to Europe we should be
importers of it from thence, large amount
(S7OO,OOO) had been engaged and would be
shipped for Havre by the steamer which was
to leave on Saturday last. This shipment of
gold, under the circumstances, goes to show,
continues the Express, that ave may and
will send gold as well breadstulfs when they
are dearcr abroad than at home. We do not
believe that any state of things will arise to
produce an import of gold to an extent
worth naming from Europe to this country,
while California is Que of the States, and
produces ii at the rate Of fifty or seventy
millions per annum. Whenever exchanges
shall so rule as to preclude the profitable
shipment of gold from the United States TO
Europe, in the regular course of trade, we
may keep that part intended to pay for imports
Of European goods into California, and thus
settle the exchanges as between Europe and
the Eastern portion of the United States"
SMART Blackwood's Maga-

say to every parent, especially every mother,
sing to your children, tell them pleasant sto-
.ies; be not too careful lest they get Il little
dirt upon their hands and clothes; earth is
very much akin to us all, and, in childrens
out.of-door plays, soils them not inwardly.-
There is in it kind ofconsanguinity between
all creatures; by it we touch upon the com
mon sympathy of our first substance, and be.

Guaintance with the pigs, the donkeys, and
the chckens-they may form worse friend
ships with wiser looking ones; encourage
familiarity with all that love to court them
dumb animals love children, and children
love. There is language among them,
which the worlds language obitera;es in the
elders. II is of more importance that you |
should make children loving, than you make
them wise. Above all things, make them
loving and then, parents if you become old
and poor, these will I've better than friends
that will never neglect you. Children brought
up lovingly at your knees, will never shut
their doors upon you, and point where they
would have you 60.

Gentlemen: am in the receipt of your IA
vor of the 18th instant, requesting Inc to be
present and address mass meeting of the
Democracy, to be held at ?aducah, ON the
9th inst You are right in supposing that it
is my intention to cooperate in future with
the democratic party. The whig party, with
which have so long acted, has no longer n
political existence. have no party now but
my country. TO this shall not cease to be
faithful. The American party, divided as it
is into two great sectional parties, the one
northern and the other southern, can only in
jure where it would serve the country; for,
instead of strengthening the national men of
all parties, it can only divide them in all the
elections, where union and concert of action
are necessary to the very salvation of the
country, AS far rs | can judge, the demo-
cratic party, although weakened in the free
States, is still national, and still co. operates
with the Southern Democracy in opposition
to the AbOltionists and Freesolers of the
North, who, to destroy the institutions of
slavery, would rend the Union asundcr, and
bury beneath the ruins of the Constitution
the liberties of the country.
regret, gentlemen, that circumstances over
which have no control, will prevent my be-
ing with you on the occasion alluded to.
