WASHINGTON, September 5, 1857
The last army order detaches from the various
nosts thirty companies, for the purpose. as de-
yeloped in the Presidents letter, of grinding the
FIee-State men Of Kansas under the heels OF the
Border RufIians, AID permanently imposing Slavery
upon them. The details Of this order are sugges-
tive end important. Ten companies Of artillery are
,n'ered from the Florida swamps, where they have
beeD employed for the last two years, in addition to
ten companies Of volunteers, which ore left there,
in hunting Billy Bowlegs and a score OF two of
warriors squaws and papOOses. Several companies,
including Sberman's battery the most effective for
the defense Of the settlers against the savages-are
ordered from Minnesota.
There will soon be in Kansas 5000 L. S. troops,
whose only service, when you come to the pth and
truth of the matter, is to stamp into the soil OF
Kanzas negro slavery. The immediate money cost
Of this Outrage to the people OF this Union, for the
present YEAR is one fourth of the sum Of SIG, OO0OOO
that being the total required for the support OF the
army on the bass of last year, or S4,75OOOO. That
outlay is a chare I'D tax upon the whole people,
but chiefly upon the necpe Of the Free States; for
the principal part of the money expended will go into
the hands of the pets Of the government contractors
army purveyOrs, &C., who are from the South.
This unprinciped military raid upon the Free-State
men of the Territory will place 81 600 in the
pockets Of Missourans.
The wretched farce of the Utah Expedition Is
still kept up. repeat what have constantly as-
| serted, that the expedition is abandoned. The
| movement upon Utah j, reduced to mere escort
| for Cumming and his associates. And the simple
reason is that troops not needed in Utah for the
propagation of Slavery. Brigham Young is rather
| pet of the South and of course favorte with the
Administration. He has made his peace 10y declaring
l Al ah,,ld nnItV M
to save appearances successor has been given hun,
it is obvious that the Government cares not straw
whether Cumming shall ever reach his post. Three
months ago it was cOnvennt for the government o.
gar to talk very harshy against the Salt Lake people
| 1t was thought we'll enough to divert public aten-
ton from real and living issues by setting up pre-
tensions in behalf Of general morality and decency.
| In conformity with this plan army of 1900 men
was professedy placed under marching orders three
| months ago, but the small proportion of it which
set out stopped after weeks journey, and Is now
| coming bach. / suspect there is about the same
| truth in the reports Of deserons as the cause OF
the retrOgrade movement, az there was OF sincerity
| in the original professions on the subject.
| For one, am not disposed to JOIN in any special
| outcry against the MormOns at this time. That
they are generally set Of vagsbOnds and outlaws Is
plain enough but the Salt Lake Valley may be re-
garded as safe and spacious pententiary for big
amists and pelygamiss. 1t is the American Botany
| Bay, ard as the Everglades are the very place of
| all the world for Billy BOwlegs AMI his tswny fol
| owers 60 the Salt Lake settlement is the most ap-
proprate temple for the congregation OF SAINTS that
| now nhabt it. and the cause Of regret connected
with their occupancy of the epOt is that their nat
| ural alice the Border Rufians of Missouri and
| Kansas, have not joined them.
| 1t seems that between two aud three weeks ago
| Gen. Cass had made up his mind to Jacksonze Gen.

failed and the Secretary Of State aud the Minister
entered into new negotiations, which have been for
ten days or q fortnight steadily progressing. They
| now approach conclusion, and the main point. OF
the treaty are settled Indemnity and the right OF
| occupying one Of the islands of Panama Bay for a
naval station, subject to the Jurisdiction OF New
Granada are understood to be principal stipulationS
| Of the agreement
| The Spanish and Mexican war is Indefinitely post
| poned The wrangle over the shooting and robbery
of few Spaniayds is carried i'll almost the same
manner that We manage the dispute with New
| Granada, which has similar origin. Spain has
threatened war and vengeance precisely as we have
done, and may further copy our example 0y WIN
drawing her Minister. Nothing more belllgerent
will accrue, and Sr. Tassara has taken care to ap'
prize this Government that excuse will be given
il for Intervention.
The resignation of ,Justce Curtis was wholly uu-
expected The alleged cause is the insuffciency OF
the salary but that would have operated to prevent
the acceptance of the appointment. The truth
probably is that Mr.. Curtis was disgusted with the
scandaous peryersiOn of law, and historic truth in
the bred Scott decision. He saw that there was
no possible chance of reforming the Federal judicl-
| aIy by attempting to check its excuses.
| Toucey or some other intensely PrO-Slavery Dem
ocrat will be appointed to fill the vacancy and thus
| the slime of Slavery is pouring over everything VEN
cradle and reputable in the country. PEMAQUID,
