THE MORMUNS And THE i. s. TROOPS.
WASHINGTON, November l3, 1851.


The State Department is just in receipt 0
some startling dispatches from the West. Tht
MormonS have actually raised the arm of rebel
lion, and We are now in state Of war with
them. The dispatches are from Judge Echol
lately appointed Chief Justice OF Utall-an(
dated, "At Camp on Sweet river, twenty-one
miles East of South Pass, October l3, 1857
Judge Echol says:
"An express has just arrived from Green
river, and reports that on the night of the 5th
instant, a train of twenty-siX wagons was cap
turcd hy the Mormons; and at the same time,
two other trains were taken near Green river
in all scventy-eight wagons, loaded with sup
plies. The Mormons burned the wagons and
loading. They said they had seven hundred
men with them, and fifteen hundred more at
Salt Lake City. Col. Alexander is encamped
on Hams Fork, thirty miles in advance of the
front train destroyed. lie sent Captain Marcy
with four hundred men back to Green river, 10
enable the teamsters to collect their cattle
They killed no one, for the reason that no rcsis-
tance was made. p
"Co Smith will collect the trains on this
side and escort them forward. There is one
train before us, and two behind We are in
good spirits, and that is great help to all. The
AIormo will likely attack us in day or two,
and may rue their imprudeuce. We have forty
seven men in this command, but Col, Smith is
a host Of himself We have determined if at
tackled to use the rifle in the line. We shall
most likely take the route Oh Bear river for
Salt Lake city The want Of forage for our
mules is the greatest hindrance. but we will 90
forward, if we have to walk and carry our pro-
visions.'' IvAyIIoE.

UNRuLY LAWYERS SENT TO JAIL BY AN IN
nLGNANr CounT.-Judee Claegett, formerly Of
Maryland, but now Of the first judicial district
Of Iowa. made "a rule that lawyers who had
cases in court should not leave without notice.
This did not please them. And to put his honor
out of countenance they would get up, one after.
another, and say with long faces and juvenile
accent, e" Please thir, may 60 out 2" His
Eonor bore this as long as lie could, when he
mad them all put in jail. The Burlington Hawk
eye says that "no ediiice, rot excepting the
pcnitentiary, ever contained so much latent
rascality as tile Madison Jail when filled with
the lawyers of the district. ~.

LONG YEARS HAVE PASSED.
EY THOMAS MOORE.
Long years have passed old friend. since VIC
First met in life's young day;
And friends long loved by thee and me,
Since then have dropped away;
But enough remain to cheer us on,
And swcctcn, when thus we're met,
The glass VIC fill to the many gone,
And the few who're left us yet
Our locks, old friend, now thinly grow,
And some hang white and chill;
While some, like how'rs mid autunln;s snow,
Retain youths color still.
And SO, i'll our hearts, though one by one,
Youths sunny hopes have set,
Thank Heaven, not all their light is gone
We've some to cheer lis yet.
Then here's to thee, old friend, and long
May thou and thus meet,
70 brighten still with wine and song
THIS short life. ere it feet
And still, as death comes stealing on,
Let's never, old friend, forget,
Even while we sigh DER blessings gone,
How many arc LETT us yet.

SheIbYviIIe UniversItY.

A few days since we made business tour to
Shelbyville ana McMinnvle. At the former place
is located the Shelbyville University. During our
short, but agreeable stay, called on Prof Hamil
ton, President OF the University, whom we found
TO be polite and smiabe gentlemen. Much credit
is due him for his close application and untiring
energy, which has been instrumental in placing
this InsIituton in the Enjoyment of its high repu-
tation. From slight indispOsition of Prof Hami-
ton we were deprived Of the pleasure of visit to
the University Building consequently, Se are
unable to speak in detail of its merits as hn arcbl'
tectursl structure; it is however, situated on q
conspicuous eminence near the town, surrounded
by rich aud picturesque country. The Institution
was never in more fourishing condition than at
the present time, having in daily attendance more
than 100 students. The present Faculty is an able
and efficient one; it is, however, the intention OF
the Board of Trustees to make some valuable ac-
QUESTIONS by the commencement Of the next SEES
zion, 1.-THE first Monday in September ne1t,) which
will render it inferior to institution of similar
kind in the State.
The commencement exercises open on the 25th
inst, when some excellent speaking may be e1-
pected from the students Of the University.
We are requested to invite all those who may
desire to attend, aud note the literary progress oil
the rising generation, to be present.
Our limited time cut our stay with the citizens
of McNinnvile much shorter than we desired. We
eagerly embrace this opportunity to express to our
numerous warm personal friends in that place, our
grateful acknowledgements, not ouly for their ef-
forts to increase our already large list of subscr-
bcrs but the ceaseless attention to our individual
comfort, which rendered stay in their midst
most pleasant and agreeable. The Thatcher House,
at which place stopped, is an establishment of
the first order and one which the citizens of
McNinnville may feel Justly proud Of
