State = part (" in Kansas are organizing a re-
s~istsnee, by force, to the provincial govern
msnt, OF any government which nav be insti-
tuted under the constitution framed By the con
stitutional convention, and that they will not
recognize that constitution in any way. They
will not probably vote upon the question sub
mitted-tO-wit Constitution with and consti-
tuition without slavery. The constitution will
nevertheless be submitted to Congress, and
then will the most serious agitation
in that body and in the country, on this sub
Jet, that We have ever yet experienced. On
both sides IN appeal to force in Kansas will
perhaps be made.
The administration may take one side or the
other, if there be any side to the controversy
which can be recognized as the right side. The
crisis is almost upon US, and bow il will be
eyaded is the question.
Gov. Walker will rot visit this city at this
time, as be intended. He cannot leave the
business Of his Office at this critical junction,
especially as there is DO Secretary Of State who
can act as Governor during his absence, Mr..
Stanton having resigned. Mr.. Stanton's resig-
nation at this time took the President by sur
prise, though il was understood he was soon to
assume the duties Of the Office Of superintend-
ent Of Indian affairs.
l learn that it is determined that Col. John
sons command for Utah shall 90 into winter
quarters near Green river, and there await re-
Inducements, which will be scot out in The
spring Toe Government will depend chiefly 90
volunteer troops for that service, and upon " a
pile" Of money which must be obtained by a
resort 70 a new loan. -Four hundred millions
will fall far short Of the expenses Of this war.
Il will cost nearly az much as the estimated
expenditure upon the military expenses Of the
East India Government in the suppression Of
the mutiny there. Sill, this government would
be accounted as a failure unless the Mormons
insurreetion be suppressed. loS-

SOUND DocTRIEE.-The following arguments,
in favor of advance payment for newspapers,
were advanced by a member Of the Ohio Edi-
torial Convention, at it's recent session:
What would you think of atfarmer who
had raised a thousand bushels Of wheat, and
who should sell it to thousand different per-
soEs scattered all over the State, and agree to
wait a year for his pay from each Of them,
and if one-bslf Of them did not pay at the end
Of the year, be should give them another BUSH
el Of wheat, and agree to wait another year
for bis pay, aud thus 90 on year after ysar2
How long would such a farmer escape bank
ruptcyP probably not very much longer than
publishers Of Newspapers who followed such
practice. 1t cost the editor Of a weekly paper
as much to supply a thousand subscribers with
1t for one year as it cost a farmer to raise a
thousand bushels Of wheat. The fsrmsr sells
bis grain in bulk, and either takes the cash or
a note just as good as cash upon delivery. The
editor cannot sell his thousand papers in buik.
They are sold to a thousand different persons,
living in different towns in the country. and diff
ferent counties IN the State, and be must wait
untii The end Of the year before be can get his
payment, and then be depends wholly upon the
honesty and responsibility Of the subscriber,
for it is impossible that he should know tbs
character Of all bis subscribers. Il would not
pay him 10 go around OF send around the eoun-
try or State to collect his dues. It would cost
more than the collection would come TO-"

The news from Europe, though more dePress-
ing upon commercial interests than any re-
ceIvsd since the commencement Of the panic
in the United States, we do not think will have
& permanently depressing influence upon our
Affairs. The cause Of this gloomy condition Of
the English market, is undoubtedly sstri5uts-
bic to the state Of our own commercial affairs.
Bat our markets. which were rspOrted dropping
in England at the time that the steamer sailed,
are now decidedly more cheerful The money
market has rallied considerably, the New Or
leans banks have all resumed the payment Of
coin on all classes Of liabilities. The New York
banks are expected speedily to follow in the
movement, and a better feeling prevails with
reference to our great staple, which has been
much more active. This being the case, ant
the prospect FOR a very small eroP OF cotton
supsrveHing, there can be no doubt that th'
English market viii also rally upon the re,
csipt Of further intelligence from this side Of
the Atlantic.

AZ oUr bank notes never pay Eastern debts,
except az = great disccuns, they can be dis
pensed with By the use Of the check for which
LEY arr eventually given. Your corrsspOn-
Dent advances the idea that cur banks are aw-
! fol Institutions and subject to legal restraint.
That they have charters lie PsIhsPs true, bat
that they have not transcribed, and thereby
forfeited theas is questionable. IF the issues
of the banks are not greatly dsprOpOrsionsts
to the capital invested, whence arises the great
profit BY which stockholders can pay the large
salaries Ct the officers, and themselves realize
handsome dividendsS And is it not In the re-
collection Of many that some Of the banks have
closed their doors and refused to submit to the
examination Of committees legally appointed
for that purposeg And where was the re-
dress? Messrs. Editors, I hold that you have
as good a right to strain your credit secure as
much property as possible, smuggIe it, pro-
oounee yourself broken, and repudiate your
own paper, as a bank has to enlarge its eireu-
latiOn beyond it's ability to pay, then suspend,
repudiate, break, and years afterwards employ
an agent to bay il its issues for a mere moth
ing, or let it 90 by the board as final loss
thereby i~ajuring or running many poor persons,
who may chance to have taken it in pay for
their crops. l doubt the propriety Of putting
down all banks instantsr. The country il more
or less in debt. These debts were contracted
under the influence Of paper currency and
should be paid with the same. I would pro-
pose, by legislation, to prohibit the circulation
Of an bills under ten or twenty, and 60 on thu
giving the banks time to wind up their business
and preventing the paper from dspreeiatiBs O.
cur hands. If, in this time, any bank refused
to redeem its paper, it should be PrOhibite,
from circulating al all, and the s~tOckholder
made liable for the redemption Of its issues
A legally constituted brokerage, or something
similar 70 the Independent Treasury Of tn
United States, would supply all our commercial

Alexander was sent by them to Colonel C. F.

to TIE march Of the cavalry and companies Of

burnt by The Mormons on the direct route
Tuese men say that it is certain that they will
burn the grass on the route they are about TO
pursue. Under these circumstances, If / could
communicate with Col. Alexander | would di-
rect him to take mp a good position for the
winter at HAMS Fork. The road is beset be-
tween this and Hams Fork with companies Of
Mormons, so hat it is doubtful whether | shall
be able to Communicate with Col Alexander.
With great respect, your obecient servant,
