A New MORMON SBTTLEMENT.-The In
terror Department has received official infor-
nation that on the 25th of May last a large
Mormon colony took possession of the Vail
ley of Deer Greek, one hundred miles west
of Fort Laramie, and drove away band of
Sioux whom the Indian agent, Twiss, had
settled there in April, and induced to plant
corn, and which section of the country was
assigned to them by the treaty of 1857. The
pretext under which these settlements are
made. is under cover of contract of the
Mormon Church to carry the mail from indie
pendeuce to Great Salt Lake City. The
number of Mormons who have settled in the
Valley of Deer Creek is about three hundred.
They have plowed and planted 200 acres of
prairie, and are building houses for the ac-
commodation of five hundred persons, and
have large herd of cattle, horses, and mules.
The Agent adds: g am powerless to con-
troll this matter, as the Mormons obey no
laws enacted by Congress-"

SToPPAGE OF MILLs.-Nearly all the cotton
and woolen mills of Philadelphia kave stopped
already, and the remainder only working up
the limited supply of material on hand. These
stoppages have thrown out of employment over
four thousand males and females, whose weekly
wages amounted to g25,OOO or SllO, 900 month.
If the other mills stop, as many more operatives
will lose their employment, and the public will
have to sustoin them.
The Connecticut mills are also running on short
time. The Pacific Company's knitting mill at
Manchester is now running on short time, and a
still further contraction is contemplated. The
Merry Company at Mansfield, knitting factory,
contemplate stoppage of work next week, un-
less the screws of the money market are loosened.
One ar two paper mills in Holland County have
stopped business.

UNITED STATES STooKs-W What marvel
leus thing it is, what comment upon the
past prosperity and present credit of our ma
tional finances, that in the midst of all this
unexampled pecuniary pressure. with the in
terest on the best paper at fabulous prices,
and with opportunities for investment such as
were never offered before, the Secretary of the
Treasury is proposing to purchase in the six
per cent. stocks of the United States at l16,
and to bring the holders to his terms, gives
notice that after the first of November he will
pay only ia. And much of this stock is held
abroad, where the securities of other govern
ments having an indefinite time to run are
plenty in the market at moderate prices. =
There is no better evidence of the opinion
that judicious men have of the stability of
government than the price that its securities
sell for Providence Journal.

SAVINGS BANKs.-At time when there is a
doubt hanging over the security of banks, and the
general want Of confidence everywhere manifest
ed, it is matter Of congratulation that we have
institutions in which the people have the utmost
confidence. When we read of the run upon the
banks Of Philadelphia and cities further South,
says the Boston Herald, and the excitement
caused By the financial revulsion, and perceive
that the panic there reaches even the laborine
classes who have laid by their savings for rainy
day, we heartily rejoice that the hard working
and frugal laborers Of Massachusetts are SO free
from all cause Of alarm. We have had occasion
to notice with great satisfaction, during the last
few years, the increasing disposition of the peo-
pie Of small means to deposit their earnings in the
savings banks. The policy Of this Common
wealth has been to restrict the savings banks in
their Investments within the line of absolute safe
ty and the policy Of the managers OF these in
situations has been generally even more strin-
gent and safe than the requirements of the stat
utes. The deposits Of the savings banks are
mostly IN mortgages Of real estate far below its
value IN the worst Of times, and in government
securities OF the safest possible Character. rfl
The wisdom Of this sound policy can now he
fully appreciated. The laboring men and women
ofthis State, who have deposited their earnings
in the savings banks, now that more or less
doubts hover over almost all other institutions.
can rest entirely content with the assurance Of
absolute certainty that their money is safe and
earning them sure increase. We trustthat the
experience Of these dark times, which demon.
Strate the importance Of having savings banks so
managed as TO be entirely beyond the reach Of
any and all financial revulsions, will confirm the
managers Of these institutions in adhering in
hezibly to the policy Of investments which they
have 50 successfully pursued in the past, and that
viii also eOnhrm the hard-working possessors Of
small savings 70 continue TO deposit their gains
In institutions managed with strict regard to
absolute safety.

Bile fertilizer, equal to guano, could be produced

for the recipe was so reasonable and the right to

receipts therefor binding themselves not to reveal
