The Anti-POlygamy sky is gathering up its thun-
der, and destructive bolt seems impending against
those Jolly Elders of Mormondcm who dress up the
flesh and the devil in such fne-twined spiritual
linen. Utah is large, go large that it may be COM
pared to ancient Rome. There is the central
sacred city and there are the provinces. Now, one
Of these quasi provinces, which is cosangent to
California has ramped under the august and OBJ
scene presence of Elder ORION Hyde. That prophet
and apostle has been appointed Probate Judge of
Carson Valley ip Utah, situate eight hundred miles
from Salt Lake City. The business of the region
is entirely with California. These facts being
Joined TO the still puDgent one that the infer
al old Orson fetched with him zone of bis spiritual
wives, have led to petition to Congress praying
dutifuly that said Orson and said Orsoness may be
il continently kicked out, and that Carson Valley
may be annexed to California thus being freed from
the presence of Neutrality-suspicious., tyranncopotc
and poly-uxoral loafers, who ventlate the patrl-
archs more freely than did the Roundheads-whO
whine and SWIVEL forth the hottest text while they
live in manner worthy only of MOhsmmed aud his
infdels.
In our Washington correspondence Of to-day
will be found On account of this petition to
Congress- The she Orson gets it thirteen 70 the
dozen of the heaviest blows Of Amazon indigna-
ton. She is likened unto that highy-colored
woman of the Apocalypse, known as the scarlet
LADY, The male Carsonites, too, are furious against
the Orsoness. They let the Judge-the Orson-
know that they will not introduce their wives aud
daughters 10 scarlet woman, and that as their
valley is not soiled now by the solemn jOkers and
tleir drabs, it may be kept unpOiluted. So they
wish annexation to California. But the Committee
CD Territories are adverse to the petitioners There
are two reasons for this ole u.s. tina. California is
already too large; the other, that the means pro-
p sed against the MOrmOns are not sufficient. The
Con mittee are Of opinion that some measure OF
wider scope is necessary TO effect radical cure OF
the moral and political pestilence which makes
Utah the scandal of the American public. Such
measure Is now on the cslendar-the bill for the
prevention and punishment Of pOlygamy-and there
IL, so we are told, no legislation more earnestly
demanded.
Thus il will be sees that svsshng storm I'M
pends over the Mormon State. The affairs OF BAL
will be thrown down, and there is danger that
direct communication may be opened between Salt
Lake ard Salt River.

The SENATE yesterday discussed, but came to
no conclusion on the bill for the settlement OF the
accounts of Revolutionary Officers.
Ia the HOUSE, the Tariff bill was up. Mr.
KRTT, 40 far from regarding the Slave Agitation as
0nieted by the election of Mr. Buchanan, thought
that the tendency of affairs to the formation of
geographical parties and dissolution of the Union;
but the South promises abundant means and
ST enQth to preserve her soil from invasion and con-
quest, and her flag from dishOnOr. The States
Rights Men will expand Southern institutions into
countries adjoining the governments OF which are
falling, and the people are lapSog into moOgTell'm'
Mr. Bliss condemned the positions on the Slavery
question contained in the Presidents Message, and
thought that Mr.. Keitt, so far from proving the
blessings Of that institution has shown that under
it, from the earliest period the world had been sub
sect to rapine and blOodshed.

We now hear through dispatch from Washing
ton TO The N. Y. Tins, which We copy In an
other column, that Mr. II. J. Raymond, the editor
Of that paper, was examined before the Investsat-
ing Committee Oh Wednesday, and declined to testi-
fy. Mr.. Raymond admitted in the first place that
lie had no original information on the subject the
positive and sweeping statements in bis paper haV-
ing been made on mere moral convctOns; and
then he totally declined 10 give the names of the par
ties from whom this sort Of evidence was derived.
This strikes us as amentable falling off from that
high tone of yindctiTe virtue with which TIE N. I.
Times opened the war. In addition TO this, we
this morning have dispatch from one OF our own
Washington correspondents who states that hr.
simoDton, The correspondent of Tie ". Y. Times,
was examined yesterday, and after long nterroga-
Ton utterly refused to answer question put TO

they were at the beginning

Committee is nov sitting az Washington to
prObe the alleged corruption ofthe House of Repre-
Eentatves. We hope they will make clean work of
il, and accomplish something more than the last
Corruption Committee, which sat in 1854. The
bribery then said to have taken place was in con-
nee ion with the projected renewal of the patent for
Colts reyolye1s; but nothing was proved in the
way Of money paid aud received for votes or for
newspaper support. Then the chef agency of dis.
honesty seems to have been feminine seluctOns
and champagne suppers, with all the delights of
smiles and glances from Blaming and lovely eyes.

We have by way of New-Orleans, news from
Nicaragua, no date given, but prObOby to the 1lth
from San Juan del Norte. The Costa Rcans have
seized all the steamers of the Transit Company
md put step to the transportation of passengers
Tits step is said to be favored by the British au-
fhOriles. In consequence of this movement, the
James Adger, which arrived on the 9th was
obliged to sail for Aspinwall without landing her
passer gers. Col Lockridge, with $50 m9n, held
Punta Arenas; but between him and Walker the
entire route was in possession of the Costa Rlcans
The report that Gen. Henningsen had effected
Junction with Walker Is repeated, and said to be
confirmed From Walker himself there is no news
unless the iteration for the thOusandth time that
his army is in good spirits be news. Nothing is
said of the story that thousand of the natives had
zone over TO the flbuster standard. That was,
very probably coinage made IN this city from
whole cloth. The James Adger was to return im-
mediately by way of Punta Arenas and may arrive
here next week; but she may bring no definite
news from Walker, unless he has the improbable
fortune 70 force connection and relieve Col Lock
ridge. AS it looks now, he must rely upon aid
from Californis, rather than the East. News from
Nicaragua, through New Orleans, is invariably
made as favorable as possible for the fIlbusters;
but this meager as it is, gives very little aid and
comfort for their cause.
