Young America

The following letter. il is said was actually written and sent to MT. Buchanan by the son of citizen of Atlanta, Georgia, without any suggestion from any person-at least as far as was known to his father. It was accidentally discovered after being finished and is published as good illustration of Young America, and the best hit at office seeking yet seen:
 Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 18th, 1856 HoN. JAS. BUCHANAN-Dear Sar: The cleo ton is now over and you are President During the canvass have hollered for you until am hoarSe and my throat is sore, and have spent all my small change.

Utah Affairs

Washington, June 8.-Surseon- General Da- vd Il. Burr, of Utah, has arrived. He states that ln his opinion thousand troops would be sufficient to overawe the Mormons He says they had not heard before he left of the nten- tlon of the United States government to send troops there, but frequently laughed at the idea of government enforcing the federal laws against them. Mir. Burr thinks one half the Mormons would rise against Young if support ed by troops He does not appreheld the Mor- mons will show fight, but thinks they will leave With oung, provided they can find some other location.
 Burr further says that Salt Lake is the mean est settlement he ever saw-there Is ablect po- verty everywhere. Youug's word is law, and the oppression of the Mormons is cruel and resentless by the present rulers There are only fifty families in the territory, and they are objects of bitter persecution.

The Key of the Oceans in the Hand of
 England

Two startling events are just announced as having taken place in Central America, and in both can be seen the grasping and unscrupulous hand of English ambition and monopoly William Walker has been compelled by Eng ilsh intrigue to abandon the country which in- vlted him to become it's liberator, and New Grenada forced by display of oyerw elming physical power to surrender the sovereignty of naval station in the Bay of Panama to the same government

ARTISAN WELLS ON THE PLAINS-Capt John Pope, U. $. Typographical Engineers Is at present Ill thlS city, making his arrangements for continuance of the service in which he has been engaged for year or two past-that of sinking wells on the puulc lands n Texas and New Mexico. to determine to what extent water can be found in those rcgons and in the direction. His outit will be made here, and then he will repair to San Antonio Texas, and assume command of the expcliton Every lhlug being ready, he is to move to the Pecos river, near the 32i parallel of latitude, there establish hIs camp, and le-commence the boring ol the well left unfinished last summer. He k to continue this work until the water flows continuously upon the surface. This done, he : tn proceed to the Rio Grande and finish the work commenced there. Like artesan wells are to be sunk on the piallS basin, east of the Ro Grande, upon or near lines of military and emigrant roads, if sites can be found favorable for this purposes; and two of them are to be lo- cajed oH that portion of the route from Inde- pcndence to New Mexico lying east of the Canadian river. He Is directed to give all nee eesary information upon the peculiar localities ut each well and of the country around it, and to make~urveys of the Ioute ut the road The commanding officer of the department of Tex as Is instructed to detail seventy five enlisted men oi the infantry, and two subaltern, and ! twenty cavalry, with orders to report to Capt. Pope for duty at San Antonio, Texas
 transportation, stores, provisions, etc, are to be furnished by the respective military depart ments in Texas and New Mexico. A large number of civil employers will, of course, ac- company the expedition. These experiments are made under an act of Congress which ap- rropriated $lO0,O0O to be expended for this purpose.
