opposed to going to church, his answer
was:"Because the paison is foreverpreach-

the argument would be overcome, if be

MILK SICKNESS. We learn that this
strange and awful malady is prevailing
through a district along the Licking river,
a few miles back of Coyington and New
port, and proves fatal in many cases. Il
has been observed that this peculiar Illness
usually makes its appearance in seasons Of
extraordinary drouth, and several times,
we are informed, ii has spread terror and
death through the locality up Licking, in
which lis now manifested The number
of deaths thus far we have not learned,
but have information that several occurred
last week. The first symptoms observed
are astonishing weakness, trembling of the
limbs, and general impotency of the mus
ces. One lady discovered that while car
lying bucket of water adistance of about
forty yards that she was compelled 10 stop
and rest two or three times, and found
that her limbs quivered as with exhaus-
ton. For two or three days this weakness
to her unaccountable, continued, before
she was prostrated with violent illness
On Saturday, she was in a hopeless condi-
ton. We will undertake to give some fur
ther particulars, in day or two, Of the
phenomena Of this mysterious malady.-

CONTEMPT OF CoURr.-Hon. Thomas
F. Marshall, (late member of Congress
from Kentncky,) was defending man
charged with murder, in Jessamine coun-
ty, Judge Lusk presiding.
The testimony against the prisoner was
strong, and Tom struggled on the cross
examination, but to little purpose, for the
old Judge was infexible in his determina-
ton to rule out all the improper testimony
offered on the part of defense.
AT last Tom worked himself into high
state of excitement, and remarked that
"Jesus Christ was convicted upon just such
rulings of the Court that tried him.
Clerk, said the Judge, center & Gne
of s 10 against Mr.. Marshall"
"Well, that is the first time I ever heard
of any body being fined fop abusing Pom.
thus Plate, " was the quick response OF Tom.
Here the Court became very indignant,
and ordered the clerk to enter another fine
of $50.
Tom arose with that peculiar mirth-pro-
voking expression of counenance that nc
one can initiate, and addressed the Court
with as much gravity as circumstances
would permit, as follows:
"lf your Honor please, as a good citi-
zen, feel bound to obey the order of this
Court, and intend to do so in this instance
l shall be compelled to borrow it of some
friend, and as I see nc, one present whose
confidence and friendship l haye 50 long
enjoyed as your Honor's, make no hesi.
tation in asking the small favor of loar
for few days, to square up the amount o.
fines that you have caused the clerk to en-
ter against me.
This was astumper. The Judge looked
at Tom, and then at the clerk, aud finally
said: .,gfi
'rClerk, remit Mr.. Marshalls fines; the
State is better to lose $50 than l am"

INTERESTING SLAVE CASE.--IIon. VIM.
A. Lake, NJ. c., Of Miss, was recently at
Columbus, o., en- route for Washington,
having with him three slaves. A writ of
habeas corpus was taken out in their behalf,
but the sheriff of Franklin county took the
responsibility of refusing to serve the writ.
Considerable excitement followed, but what
proceedings were instituted we did not
learn. We are informed that dispatches
were sent forward to Newark and Zanes-
vile to have the progress of Mr.. Lake
arrested at one of these points. 1t. was
reported that for the purpose of avoiding
the apprehended trouble, the cars would
not be stopped at the depots as usual. The
result we have not ascertained.

News From KANsAs-The letter from
the Mo. Democrat, which we print this
morning, is full of exceedingly interesting
matter. There Is happily a prospect Of
peace at the land sales, or rather there was
a prospect at the date Of the latest advices
from the territory, that the sales would be
conducted without bloodshed. Immense
amounts of money have been forwarded
from all sections of the Union, principally
from the East for investments in those
lands. Gov Geary, for attempting in a
case Of glaring notoriety to have pro-sla-
very murderer punished, is in trouble; and
we will probably hear next that, like Reed
er and Shannon, he "won't do" No hui
man being with any sense of justice what
ever, or any spark Of sympathy with man
kind can. as GoYernor OF Kansas. answef

Democrat of Monday indicate the course
Of events:
The steamer William Campbell, which
arrived here from the Missouri river yes

and having become sickened with the
peace prospects in the territory, are return

mons. The Mormon delusion ti,sacquired
new consequence since the etelations oi
Douglas and company, who, IA the apos-
ties of new political faith, aresloing for
politics the work of confusion that Joseph
Smith has accomplished for religion. Lies
and imposture have a natural atlnity; and
we are not surprised that tie M9mons are
squatter soveIeigns to a man. they deny
the authority Of the laws Of the United
States; though with them, liksgthe other
progressionis,s, this freedom frdmslaw is q
new revelation.
Their first intention in nmigraing was to
get beyond the limits Of the ugited States
Territory, that they might escBbe the au.
thority and the usages with Which polyg-
amy and other Mormon priyilesSs conflict.
The war with Mexico brought der settle
ment within the United State territorial
Limits. To move again was NJ advisable,
orperhaps practicable. From t difficulty
in which they found themselyE% they are
happily relieved By these otheTif fse proph-
cts and teachers-Cass, Doudas, and Co.
The new revelations as to ths position of
squatters on the public lands, saaye come
in as opportunely for the Morrxns as the
spiritual wife revelations did tsstbose who
coveted other mems wives andalaid-serv-
ants, sisters and daughters. iSA
Who shall say that if the SOY Areigns of
Utah choose to enact that fine sid impris-
onment, ball and chain, conGsgation and
banishment shall be the penaltyG uttering,
printing, publishing, speaking n reading
any thing against polygamy y-wlo, we ask,
shall dare to assert that the psple must
not obey? And who shall preshshe to dis
pute that the polygamists and Heir party
are the claw and ORDER men, Jkile those
who object to the spiritual wife Sstem are
rebels, to be put down BY the Uhised States
troops, and the militia Of MollAeas mus
teInd intosthe national scEgiees ii shinas
proceed and men become enlightened In
these new political and religious Isvela-
tons, we may as well make up our minds
to such developments first as last.
Another interesting feature Of Mormon.
ism is, that the real estate in the valley
of the Salt Lake, comprising the city,
which is headquarters, is The properly
Of the Mormon priesthood. The nominal
proprietofs Forfeit their lands BY leaving
the valley or3abjuring Che faith. If they
sell, the bilp Of sale is declared invalid.
Nobody butlpjormons can hold property
in the city. ientiles may hire, but If they
become troublesome or refractory theywiil
be "whittled OUT Or driven away. The
Mermons evidently have the most finished
and complete system of squAtter sover
eighty extant and have perfected it in de-
tail as well as theory, I'VE ate not sure
chat our political prophets are NOT indebted
to them for the germs Of tile doctrine
Certainly MoFmonism was the iirst practi
cal exhibition Of the system, and the Ex'
ecutive of the United States, in appointing
as Governor thearch impostor, recognized
and indorsed it,--NorM Amcricaa.
