A New Hole for the Dog
Noble.

The Boston Gazette has important infor-
nation in relation to Col. Freaont's relig-
ion, which is no more nor less than unde-
niablc proof that the Pathfinder is Ma
hommedan:- s.,r--s-
We learn on undoubted testimony, that
Mr.. Fremont the Republican Candidate for
the Presidency is Mahommedan. We
bring this charge at time when he is un-
questionably proved to be Catholic and a
Protestant. The foundation of the charge,
is as follows, substantiated by Christopher
Carson, Esq, of Texas: Upon arriving at
the shores of the Pacific, Mr.. Fremont got
off from his horse, and taking off his boots
and stockings, and rolling up the legs of
his pants, said he would wade. The beach,
however, was covered with muscles, whose
sharp edges were rather prominent; and
Mr.. F. turning to Carson, said he wouldn't
trample on them. The inference rose in
stantly in Mr.. Carson's mind that Mr.. Ere
mont was muscleman from the sympathy
eviDced for those bivalves; and on being
asked if such was not the fact, as he sought
another place in which to wade, he winked
his left eye, as much as to say, "yes" This
fact we think is enough to induce all think
ing people to vote for Mr.. Fremont or not,
just as they please, which we would ear
nestly advise.

From Salt Lake.

We have received our files of the Des-
eret Neus for August. The arrival of a
large mail at Salt Lake City from the
States, had afforded so much fresh news
that the columns of the News We're main
ly filled with that, and there is but little
worthy of record from Mormondom.
The celebrations of the oath of July
the anniversary of the settlement of the
valley of Sal: Lake. were very general, and
the proceedings and toasts were decidedly
unique. In the procession at Oregon City,
we notice the following
Twelve young men, dressed in black
pants and white coats; banner, 'kings in
embryo"
Twelve young ladies dressed in white
with wreaths upon their heads; banner
"Purity. the glory of the Deseret."
Twelve old men; banner, "God's noble
men," -,-.--
Twelve elderly ladies; banner, "We fol
low or lords"
Twelve small boys in white pants, white
shirts, and straw hats; banner, "Zion's
Hope" -tf +
Twelve small girls in white dresses, with
blue sashes; banner, "Virtue, our mothers
pride"
Among the toasts were thess:
God and our Rights: We are the boys
to defend them.
The peculiar institutions of Utah: Ma.
ny swarms.
The Battalion Boys: God bless them,
may they live forever.
Brigham Young, the Lion of the Lord
When he roars, the wicked fear; when he
speaks, hypocrites tremble; and when he
shakes his name, they flee away.
The peculiar Institutions of Utah: May
Saints live and practice them, as warmly
and zealously as the devil and his pious ad-
herents throughout the world hate and de-
spise them.
There was a dinner at l P. NJ, which
was washed down with 'native wine;" at
~
4, dancing at the Bowery; at Z, the The
MISREPRESENTATION, beginning with "Luke
the Laborer," then horn pipe dancing, and
concluding with "Raising the Wind"
At Lake City some of the toasts were
quite significant of what is mostly running
in Mormon's head. to wit:
The fathers and mothers in Israel: May
We follow their noble examples.
The "a young men: May the have wis.
dom and strength to accomplish the whole
duty.
The "a young ladies: Their mothers
have done virtuously, may they exec
them.
AT Fort Supply the occasion was cele
brated by parade and dinner, which were
participated in by some Indians. Twenty

home, which l have not visited since left
it at the beginning of the late session Of
Congress, now ten months ago.
With sorrow inexpressible, am still con-
strained to all the care and reserve of an

ness of health, that any slight departure
from the prescribed rule, is sure to occas-
ion a relapse. could not reach Ohio ex-
cept by slow stages, and were | there, l
could not have the sanction of my physic-
ian in exposing myself to the excitements
of public meeting, even if l said nothing.
This is hard-very hard for me to bear, for
l long to do something at this critical mo-
ment for the cause. What is life without
action?
For while at least, l must leave to 9th
ers the precious satisfaction of laboring for
Liberty and the redemption of our country.
But 1 have the great comfort of knowing
that never before was / so little needed.
Good omens multiply, and do not doubt
that Fremont will be elected. God bless
Ohio for her glorious testimony already,
and her more glorious promises. Believe
me, my Dear Sir, -
Very faithfully yours,

Treasury Department were notified, on re-
ceiving their monthly pay for services in

sum of about ten per cent. on their salar-
les, to be used for electioneering purposes
in the State of Pennsylvania. All who re-
fused to pay were required to state the fact
under their own signatures. This the cor

Eg The Republicans of little Delaware

T The Republicans of little Delaware
are active. They have formed a Fremont
and Dayton Electoral ticket, and the Viii
mington Free Press of the l4th says:
Delaware has a little lingering remnant
of Slavery, but has long prohibited the ex
portation of slaves. Delaware has no in
terest in Slave breeding or Slavery extern
sion, but is opposed to both. During the
tendency of the Wilmot Proviso controver-
sy, the Legislature of Delaware instructed
their Senators in Congress to obtain, if
possible, the prohibition of Slavery in the
Territories of the United States. The in
terests, opinions and sentiments of Della
ware are all hostile TO the extension of
Slavery. The Republican party exists
there in full vigor, and if Col. Fremont los
es the vote of the State, it will only be in
consequence of the disturbing element of
Americanism. H -

RETURN OF CAPTAIN PENNY.-Captain
Penny, Commander of the ship Lady
Franklin, has returned with her to Aber-
deem from the Arctic regions, and reports
that when he was in Hogarth's Sound he
was told by the Esquimaux that some of
their companions had seen, long way of
in north westerly direction, circular
white tent erected on the ice. The Esqu-
imaux had taken from it on their first visit
some bright metal, and on their second
visit some money, afterward they had seen
two white men in the tent. 1t was repor-
ted among the natives that these and 9TH
er white men had perished from hunger.
So far as Capt. Penny can Judge he thinks
that this may refer to the same party from
whom DIR. Rae obtained the silver spoons,
DC, which Unidentified the white men with
Sir John Franklin and his party.

Three steamers have carried since our
last issue, bringing news from Europe up
to the 2lstnlt. The Africa at this port,
the Anglo Saxon at Quebec, and the Argo
at New York, are the vessels referred to.
Thaiberg, the great pianist, arrived in the
Africa, and jerome Boneparte came in the

The failure of the Royal British Bank
still excites much attention in England.
The Journal de Constantiaople says
that serious conflict had taken place at
Trebizond. Eight Turkish sailors tore
down the Russian flag from merchant
shir. They threw the Russian sailors into
the sea. The Russian Consul had deman-
ded the dismissal of the Captain of the
Port. The sailors who made the attack
were publicly bastinadoed.
The Gsluan journals are full of conjeet-
ures as to the course Prussia will pursue
with regard to Neufchatel; but it is certain
that no step will be taken until it is seen
what is the final treatment of the prisoners
in the hands of the Swiss Confederation.
