The news of the " Army for Utah will be found in
another column Although we sincerely trust that the
lives of the brave men exposed to privation and
suffering may not fall sacrifice to their exertions in the
service of their country there be no doubt that
nothing could tend directly to the removal of the
Mormon difficulty, and of the MormOns themselves, as
an attack upon the forces of the United States Let
the MOrmons massacre, be instrumental in the
sacre of detachment of United States troops-et them
commit overt act of violence and seal that act with
the stamp of blood and atrocy and at the cali of the
Government volunteers will spring forth from Illinois
and Missouri sufficient to sweep them from the face of
the earth, and willing and eager to do so. The Nor
stand tickish ground if they only knew it. and,
although fraud might hide them in their distant retire
ment neither braggadoca violence will avail them
anght against the aroused anger of great people The
fools think that the little body of regulars is all that the
Union can send against them. Let them only act upon
that supposition and they will seal their doom be-

General CaY0ionac,

The death Of this distinguished gentleman has already
been announced. He alone, of French politicians, seem
ed to be able to understand the existence of liberty
without license and Of order without despotism He
alone of the Republican leaders of 1848, appeared to
possess administrative ability and the nerve necessary for
the occasion During the days of July of that year. he
had to crush Red Republicanism with strong hand
and he did it, but the arms which he used for the rpre
sion of anarchy and the prevention of rapne, he never
turned against liberty. Military Governor of Paris
Provisional Dictator head Of the army, he never
abused his poson-hs history stained by the treach
cry of coup de eahe never deported the best blooc
of France to the fatal swamps of Cayenne. He was as
far removed from the socialism of Ledru Roin from
the absolutism of Louis Napoleon. He O.
action and not Of words.
His record is closed and the friends of rational liberty
in France have lost their most sensible prudent and re
liable leader. According to some of the Hibernia1
philologsts the title of the Grand Turk-the Padishah
is simply corruption of Paddy Shaw, and it is alst
asserted though with more FEASIBILITY that Cavagnac
is the French form of the old Irish name of Cavanah

1.-The Unemployed"

The Manufacturer and Merchant are forced to sell
their goods at a heavy reduction not sell them at
ALL Real Estate cannot be disposed Of at the rates
which obtained not long since, nor can the same
rents be expected How then can the manufacturer
afford to pay the operative the prices that ruled
in times of expansion? How can the same prices be
paid for building houses which will neither sell or rent
for anything like the same money?
We all know that the merchant, the manufacturer and
the builder are forced to suspend business suspend
payment, while many go by the board They suffer in
common with the laborer and the mechanic They have
to submit to the reduction Of proftsnay, to absolute
loss to sustain themselves
Well now how does the thing work? We see that q
meeting of the unemployed was held last week in Phia
delpha and it was represented that the state of trade
would not Justify the factories in paying the rates Of
wages that they had been paying before the crisis
came, and while goods were high. If they attempted
it. they would run at dead loss and must fail. One Of
the unemployed fercey asserted that he would die be
fore he worked for less than full rates. and this decar
alton was applauded to the echo. Not one of those
who talked so eloquenty of their desire to work. would
do anything for less than the full rates of flush times
and high goods.
A very great amount of work would be done, ever
in the dullest times if it could be done with
bic prospect Of profit, or without certainty of loss
We like to see wages high-just as high as business
will afford. But is folly and worse for to insist
upon starving because they cannot get wages far higher
than can possibly be given under existing circumsan

The Methodist Protestant Church at the North and
West.
CINCINNATI, Nov ia special convention Of the
delegates from the various annual conferences of the
Methodist Protestant Church Of the North and West
has been in session here for several days.
No important action was taken until yesterday, when
the following preamble and resolutions were adopted
''WHEREAs, have received satisfactory information
that entire freedom of discussion the subject of slavery
be enjoyed in Lynchburg; and whereas do not
feel under obligations meet Southern brethren upon
any other ground than upon terms of equality therefore
ResOued That it is inexpedient and unnecessary for
representatives of the North and to attend the general
conference at Lynchburg with view to redress of
the grievances which we suffer-
At the afternoon session memorial to the general
conference was drawn up, which says:
1t earnest desire to perpetuate the union with
the General Association, but must in Christian fair
state that nsuperabe mpedments prevent the
tnuance of the union that the traffic in slaves and the
voluntary holding of slaves conflicts with the rights of
humanity and we regard it as our bounden duty as
ministers and members of the church oppose the above
practice also, that the word white be struck from the
constitution
The memorial was adopted.
The convention will probably adjourn to-day.

Things In General.

The elections are over for the season. The deeds are
DONE and the character of the next Congress has already
been fixed. The crisis is an old song. The Indian
muny has lost some Of its attraction since it has parted
with nearly all its uncertainty Some of our papers,
affected with Angophobia have affected to think that
the period of British dominion in the East rapidly
approaching all of which struck US as being some
thing very much like unto twaddle Even now the
Nord" Russian organ published at Brussels affects
to believe that the position of the British army at Delhi
is worse now than it was before the capture Of that City
that the British arc in trap and will be beseged III
Delhi, and so o. as though enemy driven out of a
strong city, with vast slaughter and the loss of arms and
ammunition could turn round and assume the offensive
where he had not been able to maintain the defensive
But the British have nothing to gain in India Del
hi they may recover, but ruined and dcfacod, They
NAV uue the nsurrection and reasser their supremacy
but it was little over year ago, that that was undoubt
ed Their stubborn pluck in India has reganed for them
the warke prestige they had lost on the continent and
proved that the Evolutionary vaOr of the British soldier
is still unmpaired But this compenSateS not for the
loss of vast native army that had done good service
and of thousands of Europeans who have fallen sacr-
ces to treachery to disease to the casualties of war
Years must eapse before trade is reestabshed ON Its
former basis or the progress of India again fairly
resumed.
About the capture of United States wagon trains by
the Mormons there remains no doubt; nor can 1t be
reasonably questioned that the greater number of Indian
outrages and atrocities have been nsgated by the
traitorous set.

it, laying the blame upon the Journal The Journal
repudiates all such thiDgS-the Journal most solemnly

by their extravaganza He said the Empress of France
had introduced the present extravagant system of dress

etc. etc
Now, we deny the charge against us Of accusing the
ladies OF anything The Independent only states one
half of the position assumed by the Journal We said
that Louis Napoleon had started the Of extava

for the silks of Lyons and St. Etenne. the lawns and

Upon the whole, the state of things is better than VI
