The Kansas correspondent of the Missouri Re-
publican, who signs himself "Bison is certainly
a biped Of no ordinary heartlesness. In a late
letter he records in n ocular manner the per-
suit and murder of four horse thieves The &C
count is given he writes by Mr.. Cornman,
who participated in the sport. 1t seems that
four young men had stolen three or four horses,
and off with them. Hear with what gusto the
murderous tale is told
cat the first fire we had the satisfaction to
see the thief on the gray Richardson's Express
company's horse) throw up his arms and give
a yell-what he said we could not hear, and
then tumble from his saddle. His horse jaded
and trembling like leaf, stopped short upon
being relieved from the weight Of his rider. and
went to graz ing. We continued on. The man
on the bav, (Mr. Fry's horse,) gave out next:
and the two survivors, upon witnessing the as
comfture of their associates slipped from their
saddles and gave leg bail, but we were not sat
isfed nth the security, and ere they had ia.
ken forty jumps, they both planted on claims
six feet by two, where they will be likely to
stop for some time to come, unless the Coyotes
lump their location" We have got shaw
that one OF these fellows had no further use for
and Tor the purpose of diffusing useful iniorma'
ton, wrote Horse thieves defeat" on piece
of paper and affixed it to sapling by the side
of the road"
Such is the language in which this butchery
is recorded And it is given in the true border
Ruifian style. These men had no doubt commit
It'd a crime, and deserved just punishment al
the hands of the proper authorities. But tc
suffer death for it, and that by selt-constitutec

hnrous. The murderers are ten thousand times
more guilty than the theives.-Quncy Republi

/ Ae4ubsItioM ~ Cnba~1he Latest Move'
The Washington correspondent Of the Ne'
| York Herald, znder date. Mar 18th, has the fol
loving. which our readers will please look upo1
~ the latest Of the caaards Of that most consci
en,ious and Trustworthy NJ print:
The paramount movement upon the Cabinet
compreheuds most interesting and unique pia Z
or the acquisition Of C1ba--a plan embracing
be active cooperation Of England, France and
spain, upon the most moderate terms, without
any fuss or trouble, and within the limit OF Nj,
Bucbanan's terra Of four years. Purchase is this
plan, and the 0stcnd valuation of &l2o, ,ooe
IL the sum Under Mr. Polk, Mr.. Buchanan, as
Secretary Of State, offered the sum OF 100000
900, and it is thought now that An advance 81
twenty per cent. will be q satisfactory margin
of allow ance for the increased value Of the is
land.
Next comes the D.odas operandi, worthy the
financial genius of the reiguing house of Israel.
The Rothschilds are to be entrusted with the
practical business of this great arrangement; ard
heir FIRST requisiton will be the appointment OF
a member OF their tribe and their financial Ia.
rily-Mr. August BelmoDt--as Minister to
Spain. Coordinate WITH or rather subordinate
to. Belmont, new minister will next be requi-
red at each of the Courts OF ST. Cloud, ST. James,
81. Petersburg, and St. Peter. We say ST. Pc
ter, because the influence of Rome over Madrid
must not be overlooked. In the meantime, Mr.
belmont has been making the tour OF Italy, and
viii come round via Spain, to Paris and London,
to take the necessary soundinss.
Thirdly, it is supposed that the distribution
Of "the monsh, will embrace thirty millions to
the Rothschilds for the purposes OF their hnan-
cill negotiations at Madrid, and among the
Spanish railroad stock jobbers OF London, &c;
thirty millions to the Spanish treasury; thirty
millions among the spendthrift royal Spanish
family, including Queen Christiana and her de-
pendants, Queen Isabella and her favorites and
courtiers, and others whose influence over the
Spanish Cabinet and Cortes is worth consider
ing. The other thirty millions to be disbursed
among the inanciers and stock jobbers OF the
Ccurt of Napoleon the Third, who are always
ready tor ''the monish."
The British government, it is expected in view
of the payment of her heavy claims upon Spain,
will be satisfied with chance at the thirty mil
lions which are to 20 into the Spanish treasury
same as that fixed at Ostend by Messrs. Buch-
anan, Mason and Soule, but it is free from the
Ostend alternative of "wresting the island from
Spain if we have the power" When the Ca6l-
ne, shall have selected its list of European di-
plomats, you will be enabled to perceive the bear
ing OF a magnificent programme in reference 10
the Cuba policy of Mr.. Buchanan. His great
;nbition is the purchase of the island OF Cuba,
and if he can buy it on reasonable terms he will
buy it--thats certain. To this end, look out Tor |
he appointment of Belmont to Spain and OF Mr..
Sieii to France, as the beginning.

MEDICAL USE OF SALr.-In many cases OF
disordered stomach, teaspoonful OF salt is a
certain cure. In the violent internal agony,
termed cholc, add teaspoonful OF salt to
mint of cold water, drink it down and go to
bed: it is one of the speediest remedies known
The same will revive persen who seems almost
dead from heavy fall.
In an apcplectic fit no time should be lost in
pouring down salt and water, if sufficient sem
s:piIity remains to allow of swallowing. II not,
the head must be sponged with cold water until
the senses return, when salt will completely re-
store the patient from the lethargy.
In a fit, the feet should be placed in warm
water, with mustard added, and she legs brisk'y
| rubbed, all bandges removed from the neck and
| a cool apartment procured, if possible. In
| many cases of severe bleeding at the lungs, and
| when other remedies fail, DR.. Rush found that
two teaspeonsfull Of salt completely stayed the
| blood.
| In case ola bite from mad dog, wash the part
with a strong brine for an hour, and then bind
| on some salt with q rag.
| In toothache, warm salt and water held to
| mart. removed two or three times, will remove
i, in most cases. If the gums be affected WASH
the mouth with brine. If the teeth be covered
with tartar, wash them twice day with sail
| and water.

A depression in monetary affairs exists al
over the country by the drainage from circula-
ton, of large amounts OF gold and silver for the
purchase of lands upon speculation. This cause
has produced temporary "tishtness," which
vii, soon cure itself The public mind has also
been depr, >ssed by the long continued cold wea-
.hsr which ba $ kept back vegetation and caused
losses on the ,>art Of farmers. But we now

bright and vegetation has covered the praires
tho Spriup wheat is cooking remarkably well
Everything promises p.'cnty Tor the coming
harvest, and we confidently look for prosper
Gus and active fall and winte. business.
The most casual observer mu st see that these
causes are temporary-that no great hnaho'"i
crisis is at all likely to be felt ,h. 'oaghoat 'he
country, and that no community has ssss cA"se
of apprehension than our own. Our bust aess men
are not alventurers. They are generally me" %
means who will easily outide the storm. .herS
can, therefore, be but little check to our pro-
gress. In fact as many buildings are now goin
up as last year at this time with the strong
probability that the number will be largely IN
creased in the fall.
Large amounts will DO expended upon the
line of our Railroad west, and within the city by
the Railroad Company, which will greatly help
the trade of Burlington ...
The Railroad will be opened to Ottumwa-to

will make Burlington the outlet for molety IL
least of the products of this valley, and quad
ruple our business and commerce.
And it is also reduced to certainty that

whereas the aggregate Republican and BachaE-

Rccnpture of Children stolen by tne
MOrmOnse..Elder Pratt iA Custody.
Abont two months ago, we published al &C.
count Of the kidnapping of several children by
the Mormons ut New Orleans. The father was
absent at the time, in California, and the moth
er, who had been deluded by the Saints lent
herself to the infamous schemes by which her
own children were to be ruined. The kidnap-
pers started with the children from New Orleans
to 20 through Texas, Arkansan and the Indian
Nation to the Salt Lake trail, but were FORUM
ately intercepted by the father who having
heard Of the affair, had returned, and started in
persuit of them. The following letter is from
him to his friends in this city, and gives some of
the particulars of the arrest:

pany of Capt. Cahil and lady, leave with the

him. You are fully posted. See Strong, and
