INFORMANT FROM UTAH.
Brigham Young on the Inoasion Of Uta'
hal the United States forces.

Rr;gham Young on the Inrasion Of Utah
by the United States forces.
The New York Times contains some in
teresting news from Utah. The Mormons
are giving utterance to dire threatenings,
drawn forth by the approach of the troops
towards the Territory. Brigham Young
has made two infammatory speeches to the
"Saints," declaring it to be the duty OF the
faithful to resist the efforts put forth by the
government for their determination and
stating, in positive terms, that separation
of s.the kingdom" from every other king
dom is close at hand-in other words, that
the act of government in dispatching troops
against Utah is to be considered fair ground
for refusing to yield obedience to federal
laws. Brigham, moreover, asserts that
should government send other officials to
Utah of the same stamp as those who have
heretofore been commissioned, "they will
require more than twenty five hundred
soldiers to protect them from Mormon fury"
We make the following extracts from one
of Brigham's speeches:
The time must come when there will be
a separation between this kingdom and the
kingdoms of the world, even in every point
of view. The time must come when this
kingdom must be free and Independent from
all other kingdoms. Are you prepared to
have the thread cut to-day?
Now let me tell you one thing. shall
take it as a witness that God designs to cut
the thread between US and the world when
an army undertakes to make their appear
ance in this territory to chastise me, or to
destroy my life from the earth. I lay it
down that right is or at least should be
might with Heaven, with his servants, and
with all its people on the earth. AS for the
rest, we will wait a little while to see; but
I shall take hostile movement by our
enemies as an evidence that it is time for
the thread to be cut. I think that we will
find three hundred who will lap water, and
we can whip out the Midianites. Brother
Heber said he could turn out his women
and they would whip them. / ask no odds
of the wicked, the best way they can fix it.
But woe, woe to that man who comes
here to unlawfully interfere with my affairs.
Woe, woe to those men who come here to

US, and is still striving to pour out upon

A. CHANCE FOR ABoL1r1oN1sTs

To test the pluck, the philanthropy, and
the confidence which the Abolitionists pro-
fess to have in their doctrines, the New Or
leans Delta publishes the following extract
of q letter addressed to it by responsible
planter of Mississippi. The writer throws
down the glove, and dares the boldest of the
Greelyites to pick it up. Here it is:
II will wager ten negro men against
twelve thousand dollars that there is not an
Abolitionist North of Mason & Dixion's line,
that can induce the ten negroes to leave nv
premises. and go with him to Free State
l will give them one full hour at night in the
woods by themselves, if he chooses to talk.
preach, persuade, or hire them. Or, if bet
ting is warning with his religious scruples,
L will oblige myself to emancipnte the ten
negro men. if, after the hours talk, he can
induce them to leave my plantation. If he
fails, l. am TO make them tar and feather
him i'll can. | will use no threat nor force
to make them do it.
Il will also bet-if Mr., Greedy or any of
isfriends are afraid that the men might STAY
ten women against their reasonable value,
that can make them buck and gag him in
the latest and most improved military style,
after one hours talk from him. These are
the terms Accept them if you dare.
Southside, Miss. A MIssIssIppIAN.
Commenting on the above, the Delta
says:
"The writer pledges himself to secure
such Northern philanthropists as may take
his bet, from prosecution.
They shall have fair chance to exercise
their philanthropic purposes"

A LUDIcRoUs INcIDENT.-An incident
took place at the junction Hotel upon the
arrival of the train from indianapolis. A
gentleman and lady, inspired with sudden
recognition, were observed to rush frantically
into each others arms, and the fun of It
was that after hearty embrace they
discovered that both "had the advantage. =
They were strangers, but the lady, mistaiine
him for her dear cousin Charlie" had
embraced him, while he, with half defined
recollection of having seen her before, went
in lemons and got squeezed" Their
mutual embarrassment upon the discovery
of the mistake can we'll be imagined.

A SINGULAR CASE.

From little discussion going on in the
Nashville Christian Advocate, we learn
that Mr.. Ewing, Methodist preacher who
has charge of the Nashville Female Acad-
envy, employs dancing master to teach the
pupils in his art. Imagine the professor
of dancing absent, and the Reverend Mr..
Ewing, after having led the devotions OF
the morning, and laid aside his Bible,
marching into the dancing hall of a relig-
ious school, with fiddle under his arm, as
pro. tenn. professor of dancing!
Are such things tolerated in the church
at Nashville, the head quarters of Southern
Methodsm?
Those who have charge of the church
there owe it to the whole church to reform
the offender, or subject him to summary
expulsion. Let the discussion of the case
be transferred from the columns of the
Nashville Christian Advocate, to the proper
tribunal which has jurisdiction in the
premises. A Methodist preacher in charge
of a dancing school Shame on the admin
istration that would tolerate such cause OF
scandal upon Methodism!-N. C. Christian

Cotton and England.

There is no antagonistic power, that so
constantly gals and chafes John Bull, as
the control we hold over him as the chief
raisers Of Cotton, on the manufacture of which
the national greatness and power of England
depend. The thread of Cotton is said to be
the thread Of life to England; her supremacy
~ the chief commercial power of the world,
depends upon her supplies of American Cot
ton. She has looked in vain to other sources; ;
India has disappointed her, and Africa and
South America afford her ne hopes for gener-
rations TO come, and she now submits in sui
len discomfort to her dependence upon the
United States. 1t is evident we hold her to
pacific and honorable course of policy to-
wards this country by power more efficient
than the force of all the armies and navies of
the world. Her Statesmen and people are be-
coming more and more sensible of their in
creasing dependence upon this country las their
cotton manufactures extend and become the
leading national interest. The apprehension

tests to Englishmen CONCENTRATIONS of the
disasters it would entail on England, a,
which they are dismayed. The London
Herald of recent date, specializing upon the
consequences of a short crop of cotton, or Of

supply of cotton, gives the following vivid
picture of the desolation it would cause in

An Extensive Mali Robbery.

The two largest mails that pass over the
Terre Haute and Alton Railroads with that
which passes over The same road to Nation.
and thence to Chicago, were stolen at Mat
toon last week, and carried quarter of a
mile from the depot, and robbed Of their en-
tire contents, and the bags with few of the
rifed letters were thrown into a well. The
robbery must have been committed on the
18th or 18th inst. but the mails were not
known to be missing till they were discover
ed on the 22d. 1t is not yet known how i'm
portant the mails were, nor the extent Of the
loss. Little was left in the mail sacks, and
only % letters were found; but way-bills
were recovered recording over four hundred
letters from As different Post offices in Ill
inois, Iowa and Indiana. They were evil
IDENTIFY important letter mails, and among
them were way bills, dated the 18th of May
from Chicago to Terre Haute and Indianapo-
lis, containing mail matter for Charleston,
Indianapolis, Terre Haute, Paris, Marshall
and Charleston to Chicago, being mostly
business letters, Of importance. In the emu
meration, we do not sec any way-bills from
the Evansville Post office mentioned. Many
of the way-bills are mutiiated, defaced and
illegible. One other mail sack was subse-
quently found in a ditch south of the town
the contents of which are not reported. We
understand there was a way agent that trav-
els with the mails on the cars, and station
airy agent at Nation whose duty it is to at
tend to the transfer of the mails from one
road to the other. How these important
mails could be lost, and their abstraction re-
main undetected for ten or twelve days, unit
they were accidentally found by a laborer
without the direct completely of the mai
agents, we cannot conceive. That they wert
not missed at the offices to which they wer'
sent, is proof that the system of receipts anC
way-bills in use by the Post office Depart
ment-cumbersome and complicated as it i
known to be---is defective and affords no Sc
curity against loss. If the robbers had burn
the mails and left no trace, the Department
would never have missed them. The paper
say "there is no clue to thu robbers"

the Postmaster General Brown, for reducing
the compensation to the Bremen and Havre
lines of mail steamships $4,000 per annum,
with the view of appropriating the sum
