WASHINGTON MONUMENT ASSOCIATION We
learn that the Know Nothing Board of Mana
gers of the W ashingtOn Monument propose to
take the back track from the position into
which they thrust themselves by the displace
ment of gentlemen of the highest character
aud efficiency. The self-elected Know Nothing
Board were 10 do wondrous things, amongst
which, we believe, was the completion CT the
monument within the year, by contributions
from patriotic HindOos throughout the land.
But the country Know Eothings did not re-
SPond, and we have waited in vain for the
monument TO grow to its promised FIVE hundred
ies ~, under Know Nothing management
We need not remind our readers how com.
Piete and Notifying has been the failure Of
the new management to carry out single one
OF Us boosted promises. Now the Board init.
mates purpose to resign, and allow the man
agement TO pass into more efficient hands TIE
question is, who will be willing 10 accent a

FsoM WAsHINGToN.-The letter wri-
tiers say that as the expression of the
popular sentiment of the country comes
back in response TO Senator Douglas de-
fence of Kansas rights, the time-servers
are gathering around him with profess
sions Of support, while the adherents
of the Cabinet who were week ago for
annihilating him, have suddenly become
very moderate in the expression Of their
opposition to him. There is great hest
tation among those who are attempting
to preserve their standing with the peo-
pie at home, and the favor Of the Cabi
net, what course to Adopt. The Penn

it has won the applause of more than tfey
different audiences who have listened to it:
chatty and witty criticisms, united with hap

CONGRESSIONAL CORRUPTION - The
fraud attempted by Mr.. CoLI.oM, the late
Clerk of the U. s. House Of Representa-
tives, consisted in a collusive arrange
ment with large number Of the menu
bers of the House by which they were
to receive one-half price of the books in
cash, and give receipts for them, which
would enable CoLLoM to draw the mon
ey from the Government without pur-
chasing a single book. By this easy OPP
Grafton the dishonest Clerk would have
pocketed half the book fund without
spending dollar of it for the purposes
for which it was appropriated. This
would have succeeded admirably. but
the publishers Of the books were likely
to he ruined by having their books IN
sold, AMI they have made the expose -
CoLLoM's arrangements could not have
been advantageous unless it had en-
braced most of the members. A large
portion Of the House must have been
concerned in it. The disgraceful expose
is new evidence Of the shameless degra-
dation and corruption that prevail among
honorable members Of Congress; it proves
that for the paltry sum Of SlOO or $500
to each, the members of the House were
induced to participate in disgraceful
fraud upon the public treasury.

0tT The Louisville & Nashville Rail-
road is still slowly progressing. The
pressure of the times has not entirely ar
rested the work. The direct line is
completed only to the Rolling Fork, 81
miles f:om Louisville. The grading is
principally done to Green River, dis
lance Of Is miles, and the track will be
completed by August, and the river cross
ed by November next, and it is predict
ed the whole line to Nashville will be
finished in less than two years. This
road is to have an important influence on
the trade of Green River county, though
we do not think it can divert the heavy
shipments Of produce that now comes 20
US, from this point. 1t may carry some
of our Dry good and Grocery trade to

UTAH.

The latest intelligence from Utah is by the
way of San Francisco. The papers Of that
city are occupied with the warlike prepara-
tons Of the Mormons, and their violent
threats of hostility and vengeance against
the citizens of the U. States, on every side Of
them. A Mr.. Aiken, who had come through
Salt Lake undera pass from the Mormon
Military authorities, had arrived in Caliior-
MIA and published statement made under
oath, OF W hat he saw in Utah. lie says the
Mormons had taken q vote ut Salt Lake City,
that if the United States Army forced its
way into Utah, that they themselves would
burn their city, towns, forts, &C., and lay
every habitation in ashes; that they had al
ready picked out secret places in the noun
tains, to ''cahc" their provisions, and make
their future abode with tho Indians.
The surgeon Of the Mormon army stated
that arrangements were already entered into
that provided the army should enter the set
Elements, that every city, town, and village
/ in the State Of California. Missouri, and To-
wa, should be burned Immediately they
had men to do this who were not known TO
be. Mormons! And that they would cut off
all the emigrant trains, army stores, provi-
sions, stock, &C.; that no man, woman o.
child should hereafter cross the Plains withr
out being scalped. That they depended upon
and expected the Indians to perform this IN
ernal and cowardly part of their designs.

| pariny for war and we should not be sur
