TIE EXPEDITION FOR UTAn.-The preparations
for the Utah expedition going on with great
zeal ut Fort Leavenworth. 1t is understood
that the troops will be sent out in three divi-
sions, SO that they may encamp at different
points, and thereby be sure of an abundance
Of grass for the horses and cattle. Gen. Har-
ney will soon be prepared to move at the head
of the whole force and we have no doubt of his
being able to render good account of hipself,
whether in Utah or elsewhere. Up to Monday
last, to which time our advces reach, nothing
had been heard from Col. Summers command,
except that he was within some 10 miles of Ash
Hollow.
The Terre Haute, Alton and St Louis Rail
road Company, yesterday brought to this city
22l troops, destined for Utah. They were from
Carlisle Barricks, Penn, and were under COM
mand of Captain Duncan, United States Rifles.
The other officers accompanying were Captain
Anderson, Second Dragons; Lieut. jackson,
Rifles; and Lieut.. Lee, Second Cavalry. These
troops were at once placed OH the Pacific Rail
road cars. and left at 8 P NJ. for Jefferson City
by rail. and thence to Fort Leayenworth by the
Lightning Line. They are mostly recruits, and
will be assigned to Companies en- route to Utah,

An ELorEMRSr IN NEwARK.-Thc Adrertiser
says:-A young man about 30 years old, and u
young lady about II years old, we are informed,
LEFT this city some two weeks since with the
Park Presbyterian Church Sunday School, on
their picnic to Railway. They had previously
paid some little attention to each other, and
wilhelm the grove became filed with romantic
ideas and when unobserved left the party, went
to the residence of the Episcopal minister, Rev.
H. n. Pierce, and were married. The marriage
was of course soon found out, and the parents
of the young lady are quite indignant The
young husband, it is said, has been denied the
house of her parents, to whom she returned,
and has had bat one interview with her since.
He contemplates going on a whaling voyage, to
be absent three years, when he intends to re-
turn and claim his wife. The parents of the
young lady, We learn, design procuring n di-
vorce, if possible, and it is highly probable that
the minister will be arraigned for violation of
the State law, which prohibits the marriage of
minors under penalty of $500 fine. The sub
ject has created much excitement among the
friends Of the parties, who are respectfully con-
nectcd.

MAYOR WooD OF NEW YoRk.-In our New
York exchanges, representing all creeds and
politics, we notice that almost the entire press
have abandoned even the semblance of an ap-
ology for the recent factious snd reasonable
course of Mayor Wood-the great rioter of that
unhappy city. But one of tho strongest things
we have yet seen, is open, undenied account
in one of the papers, of some of Mayor Woods
private transactions-which show him to be not
only the degraded and unscrupulons politician
which the world now know him to be, but which,
as man, are enough to outlaw him from any
society making the least pretensions to morality.
1t is charged and proven by overwhelming tes-
timony that he has been guilty of State prison
offences, and from the punishment of which he
now only escapes because of the statute of lin
itations. Such is the man whom drunken
crew of shoulder Hitters," "Bowery Boys"
"Short Boys" dead Rabbits" aud all the rag
and flag end of the city conspired to maintain in
his resistance to the law of the land.

CALIFoRNlA.-From a letter which we find in
the New York Tribune dated San Francisco,
June 4th, we make the following extracts:
Much interest has been excited within few
days past by rumors of defalcation to large
amount in the Melting and Refining Department
of the United States Branch Mat in San Fran
cisco. But little is certainly known of the mat
ter by the public, except that the fact of de-
ficit existing appears to be admitted and believ-
cd by goncral conSent-tha amount Stntad
high as from three to four hundred thousand
dollars. Several of the papers, from infDrlna-
ton derived at the Mint itself, have attempted
to account for the loss by the escape of the gold
when in very fine state, from the chimnevs
and flues of the establishment, asserting that
the loss in this way was known to be large by the
officers long since, and had formed a subject of
correspondence with the department Mt Washing
tom but that it could not be correctly aScertained
until a general settlement was made, which is
now being done. 1t is stated that large guam
titles of gold have been gathered from the roofs
ner would think he had struck rich diggings
could he prospect" the locality. There are
two horns to this dilemma, to hang to one or
the other which is equally fatal-either u large
defalcation has taken place, or the business OF
the Mint has been continued by its officers with
the knowledge that ruinous loss was daily
taking place, showing extreme raShneSs and
carelessness and establishing the fact that the
parties in charge were totally unfit to attend to
the interests of the people in SO important
capacity. MIR. a. Hurnsthy, the Refner it is
said, has transferred large amount of proper
ty to the government security for the cor
rectness of his accounts. l, however, rather
doubt the correctness of this rumor. Mr..
Hampstead, the superintendent, has just
entered upon the duties of his office.
The famons Ned..McGowan has had his trial
since last mail day. for completely in the murder
of James King of William, editor of Tie Bnl

trial, and the jury, after few minutes absence,
returned verdict of not guilty.
All fears in regard to the crops appear to have
been set at rest it being generally conceded that
the yield will be fair average one. The har-
vest of grain will lie heavier than ever before
gathered in the State.

Gov. MARcY.-An obituary notice in the Phil
adelphia North american of the late Governor
Marcy, written apparently by one who is ac-
auainted with tho of which. he Speaks says
that "a feeling of patriotism alone induced Gov
Marcy to retain his post in the late Administra-
ton when it departed from n line of accepted
policy. More than once the propriety of resig-
nation was seriously entertained, and only aban-
doned by conviction that duty demanded his
adhesion. The recognition of Padre Will, in
the face of previous rejection of another min
lister from Nicaragua, gave him deep concern,
since it appeared to compromise the good faith
of the nation before the world There are 9TH
er occasions, more serious than that, which may
not be revived at this time"

E1oPEucNT-A IIusBANp RIvENGE-Ihe
New York 7r;1ape gives an acc Nunt OF an Siepe,
ment in ''h;gh life" in Williamsburg, which
took place few days ago. 1t thnsnarTates the
facts of the case;
F.! Mr. A. is heavy merchant IN New
f York. aud his residence for some time past has
/ been in Williamsburg. in the AriStocraiic par,
ton Of the city known IS the South Side tbs
wife is a beautiful and accomplished woman, DC
longing To a wcAlthy and highly respectable
family in New York, and vas looked upon BY
her husband as every thing that eeasd I've aeSltr
ed in partner for life. The third person, Mr.,
b, Young man doing business IN new iorN'
Is also of high standing,
Some three months since the wife and Mr.. II.
formed an Acquaintance IN a BrNpSdway Ssicc''
The two frequently met at the Sssne place, and
TinAliy became Sriently attached and feeling
that they would be unhappy Il separated, the
lady decided 10 abandon her husband anG chill
tiren and elope with her lover. Early on ;he
uorning Of the 4sh was fixed upon to eanSiann-
mate their designs and carry their plans into
execution.
The husband had received some intirnation OF
the step his wife was about to take, and although
he could not credit the ruunor, decided TO lie
fully convinced of its truth or falsity. On the
morning in question Mrs A. left the house, sud
meeting carriage, she Immediately sprung into
ii, when the driver proceeded towards the South
Tenth street ferry.
The husband was now convinced of his wife's
perfidy; and, overtaking the carriage, wrenched
open the door and Immediately commenced an
onslaught upon the young MAJ with bowie
knife, and did not desist until he had inflicted a
dangerous wound in the neck, several upon tho
arn-one OF which will render the arm useless
and also severe cash across the stomach. Du-
ring the melee the young man discharged his
pistol, the ball grazing his adverSary's forehead
and causing slight wound.
The carriage was turned back to the house,
the young man removed to a room, and the fam
lily physician was called in to dress the wounds.
At this stage of the affair the two gentlemen re-
cognized each other as intimate business friends
in New York. As the lady remained ineog.,
Mr. B. declared that he was not aware of the
relations existing between Mr.. A. and the lady,
or he would not for the world have taken this
STEP
The injured man is still lying in critical con-
dition. The wife has been discarded by her
husband, who gave her one of her children, he
retaining three others.

An UxDERGRoUxD RAILROAD Tack TO DAM
AGE \ NATIONAL RoAD.-A handful purport,
ing to emanate from the Ohio and Missippi Rail
Road fac simiie of the genuine, but without
signatures, it seems-has been put into circula-
ton in Missouri and the Southern States with
this clause interpolated:
''To Free-State men in particular, we wish
to recommend this Northern route, running on
free SOIL through free States, and constructed
by Gati-stdrery men. No Border Ruffiau con-
nected in any way with this road"
This turns out to be one of the meanest sort
of frauds ever perpetrated to help the ''cause of
freedom" 1t is worse than the expedient to
scare up kansas scrip,"-and nearly as bad as
the famous ''slievegammon dodge" Read the
following and judge:
