| Brigham Young, in reply to his communication of
the 18th of September, administering him sbarn
| rebuke for the improper manner of his admins
tration of the Iadian superiutendeney In Utah re
tells Brigham Young that lac has exceeded tn. an
preparations for him by more than $4,000. aud
that he has no reason TO olaplain of his drafts
not being paid. General u. adds:
so far from encouraging anIicabie relations
you have studiously endeavored to impress uuor
The minds of the indians that the MornIons are
their friends. aud the government and peopl,. os
the States are their enemies
The rule is to withhold annuities from hostile
Indians and Gen. Denver knows 10 reason why Il
should not now be applied to Young. Gen. Denver
then adds:
You have been denounciag this government
and threatening an armed resistance 10 the autbnr.
lties sent ont by the President Indeed unless Won
ana your c0adjdtors are most grossly nisrepresnt
cd ana your language misquoted, the appearance
oi those authorities among you is all that is nsees
sary 20 prompt you to an overt act of treason It
could never have been intended, when the appro-
prlations were made by Congress. that the money
should be used IN ar0usiDg saYages TO war AGAINST
our own citizens, or to unable subordinate Off
Ger TO carry on treas2nabe practices against his
own government. The rule Of this office il to

attitude towards the government; and / know Of
no reason why the same rule should not he arnliod
TO you at this time; but rs the appropriation has
been exhausted, 1t is not necessary to consider thar
question now.
You say the troops must be kept awav, for Il
is prevalent fact that wherever there are the
most oi these we may expect to find the greatest
amount of hostile Indians, and the least seeu ity
for persons and property The troous are und.r

the peace ahd to keep the Indians in subjection-

~ Is much TO be regretted tha such state of

lnctahce th1G We arrive at the conciuson that
Americans citizens should at any time reanire tbo
strong arm OF power to compel obedience to the
laws or that subordinate officer should so far FIR
get his duty as 10 use his official position to piurr
one portion II his fellow citizens and TO ALLEVIATE
another portion from loyalty to their government.

THE FLOOD AT TIRE NoRTH.--The telegraph has
pretty tuily described the effect of series of rain
storms at Albany, New York, and on the line of
the Erie Canal ana Central Railroad west OF Svra-
cuse The Albany Journal, Of Monday, saws:
''On Monday came the most terrific storm of all
1t began early in the Ia al, f.,
torrents, accompanied by a violent gale roofing
mp trees, blowing down chimneys, destroying
fences aud sheds, and in some instances unrootinc
houses. The storm immediately followed by
the heavy treshets and foods. Rivers and creeks
burst their usual boundaries, submerged the ad-
joining fields, and swept away bridges. nillda,s,
aud whatever opposed their resstlrSs course Ca
nal embellishments and railroad cuverts shared in
the common ruin. leading again to new disasters.
1iaIi communication completely cut off yester-
DAY and IS even yet SO much Interrupted that the
toll extent Of damage done cannot be ascertancd
Fast OF Palmyra and east OF Newark, several
breaks in the canal occurred. The damage can
hardly be repaired IN less than five DAYS.
THE present flood is the greatest known in forty
years, the high water reaching houses and barns
never before touched by it. Nearly the whole
track of the railroad from Weedsport. Cayuga
county, to mile this side q; Newark, (Wayns
county, distance of twenty-five miles was at one
time under water. Ia some places, the water stood
at the depth of four feet"
PRICE OF p0RK-Tbe Salem (Va) Register says
that no offers are made in Roanoke county for hogs
over s6a;7. The Wytheyille Telegraph says
We have heard of engagements being made in
this place at So 90 and some as high as 81 for de-
livery i'll December but We think the price will
fall below the first mentioned figure. About s. 80
We are of opinion, will be the average. There is
said to be great deal of corn in the country that
is fit for nothing else but to tatten hogs In this
county, at least onethird Of the corn crop is said
to be of this kind. This, we think, will have a
tendency to reduce the price Of pork much below
what holders are at present ing.
SCENE IN THE CoCRT.-A Washington cnrres-
pendent of the New York Times says
In of the Naval Courts to-day in the case of
Chase Barney, the Judge Advocate propouuded
question to witness for the Government with res
pect to the domestic relations between the defend
ant aud his wife. The counsel for the defence pro-
tested that he had not come into court 10 have his
domestic affairs Investigated The Court insisted
on the question, when the defendants counsel,
OF Governor Wise, collected his papers aud left
saying that his client as Il man of honor could not
be party to bringing his wifes name before
the Naval tribunal for discussion, and that if the
Court choose to pursue that investigation, it should
be erpdrte. The Court closed its doors for secret
deliberation, and decided to submit the propriety
of the question for the Presidents decision. The
occurrence excites much indignant criticism in
val circles.
