MORMON MOVEMENTS There is very
general and very apparent breaking up
among the mormons in the Eastern sec.
ton Of country. We have already no.
ticed the discontinuence Of the Norman
newspaper published in this city, and the
suspension Of religious worship at their
usual place in Broome street, We hear
also that last Sunday, at their head.quar,
ters, at Toms River N. j., where there
has been small colony for some time
it was anouDced that hereafter there
would be no more public service there.
We understand that in Philadelphia mea-
sures are in progress for closing up the
Norman church there; public worship is
10 be discontinued, and all the business
agairs Of the sect are 10 be wound up
forthwith. This has the appearance Of
decay and dissolution; but we are inclined
to think that it indicates change Of poll
ey, and the mormc ems in all parts of The
country are to be summoned to Utah. In
stead Of supporting Missionary agencies
in the Eastern States, it is thought best
to concentrate their forces at head quar-
tiers. We understand that the New York
society will take up their line Of march

AnecdOte Of Veruet the Great Painter.

0nSVuVt0 VI VOAuOb enV OAV11 = aAutOL'
With the soldiers Horace Vernet is an
immense favorite, To appreciate the large
heaItedness of his nature, we should fol.
low him into Algiers. where among the
gallant troopers and their noble horses,
he is at home in The fullest sense. Under
the tents, OF On the long desert marches,
he shares the common fare, the sports
and the privations of the soldiery. To
carry his color box is deemed an honor;
the fortunate soldier would sooner die by
the Arab schymeters than surrender It.
The following amusing anecdote gives a
glimpse of those qualities which endear
him so warmly 10 those hardy men:
Several years ago, it was the luck Of
raw recruit to be placed in regiment
of cuirassiers stationed at Versatile
He was six feet high. thick and heavy in
proportion, good natured, and extremely
Gull. and of course was The butt of the
whole corps. One morning, after the
cali, the poor fellow, in a moment Of
weakness, confded ieVe secret to a
comrads, who instantly spread the news,
and the conscript hardly knew which
way to turn 10 escape their jeers and no,
over delicate wit. One only, an old sol
dier with an immense grey moustache
seemed to disapprove of the sport, ant
the great clumsy fellow, said gravely ant
kindly: ...
"Give us your hand my boy I am sorry
tl.ey make such fun of you, and here''
something to show my good feeling
Take these ten cents md get your por
trait in full uniform for your beloved"
"With all my heart!" exclaimed tn
eonscript blushihg with pleasured expec
tation. But where shall go!"
"Pll direct you. Go 10 Monsieur
Horace Vernett.in in Orange street. TAX
off your cap, put the ten cents in biz
hand, and say that, as you pay in ad
vance. he must paint your portrait with
out delay" I.,
The cuirassier, without the slightest
suspicion of the joke, brushed up his
boots, adjusted his uniform, and throwing
hasty but satisfied look into the bit Of
broken glass that did service as a miro
sailed forth in search Of the painter
He entered the studio with patrons air
but the artist seeing him from the higl
scaffold on which he stood at work, tool
him for model from the garrison, ant
paid no attention. This did moi suit tht
mpatience Of the cuirassier.
Halo, there shouted, monsieur
painter, are you Horace Vernet."
"Yes my friend; what can I do fol
you! :"
81 want portrait Of myself for The
resa, and they tell me at the barrack.
that you will do it at once, if I pay in ad
vance. Here are ten cents"
II don't know Theresa" answered
the painter. with q good-naiured smile
"but would like to stand well in her ia
vor, and will paint your portrait, Let
see give me your ten cents. Sit dowl
there, that will do. Now look at M
: without moving"
The cuirassier obeyed, and in abou
half an hour had the delight Of seeing
striking sketch Of his own bearded phiz
Hoarce Vernet signed it, and giving it /
the soldiers, with box Of cigars, bad
him take the sketch to his comrades an
ask their opinion Of it. It proved a de

The New United States senator
from Mich igan.

The Detroit Free Press, in noticing
the election of Chandler to the U. S.
Senate, to succeed General Cass,
says:-
We were mistaken 4; and we have to
count Michigan as having added to
the list of weak men brought to the
surface by the Republican move
ment." Wemust count her, indeed,
as having added to the list of weak
men sent to the Senate OF the United
States by the Republican move
ment." W. must do more: W. must
count her as having sent to the Senate
the weakest man that ever took a seat
in that body from any State. This is
her distinction. This is her glory

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.
j. r. Sweeney, Of New York, who
served as Assistant Door-keeper ofthe
House, at the last session, was to-day
examined by the Corruption Investi-
eating Committee. Mr.. Triplett, for
merly Chief Clerk of the Pension Of
flee, and Mr.. Chubbs, a banker, are
reported to have been summoned
|Simouton, the correspondent Of the
New York Times, answered the ques-
tons affecting himself, but declined
responding to some respecting others,
on the ground that he could not do SO
without a dishonorab!e breach of con-
fdence. He also insisted on the right
and duty of newspapers to act upon
moral convictions, without holding
themselves responsible to present
proofs, unless specific charges are
made against individuals by name.
The Superintendent of Public Print
ing has requested the House Commit.
tee on Ways and Means to report an
appropriation of nearly $247, 900 as
deficiency, to finish the printing orr
dered during the first session, Of the
Immense amount Of which, he says,
the members at that time could not
have been aware.

Important From Nicaragua.

NEW Jan. 10.
The steamer Teas arrived here to.
day from San Juan.
The purser reports that the Costa
Ricans, protected by the English fleet,
had seized the steamboats, on the San
Juan River.
The steamer San Carlos left Virgin
Bay with California passengers on the
Sd of January, but was captured by
the Costa Ricans o y after getting
into the river.
Col. Lockbridge, with two hundred
and fifty men, had possession of Pun.
ia Arenas, but the Costa Rican forces,
exceeding one thousand men, held ev-
cry other point on the river.
The report that General Hcnigsen
had beaten the allies at Granada is
confirmed. lie has Joined Gen. Wal,
ker at Rivas.
Gen. Walkers army is represented
as being in good spirits, while the al.
lies are fighting among themselves.
The IeGaS brings dates from San
Juan to the 10th inst.
Gen. Henningsen received reinforce
ments on the Sth Of December, and
after n seige of nineteen days, succee-
ded in driving the enemy before him,
with a loss Of fourteen hundred in Kill
led. Henningsen's loss was two hun
bred. The odds against him was ten
to one. All the military stores, artil-
lery and public documents, had been
removed to Rivas, uninjured.
Walker took possession Of Rivas
without opposition, the enemy evacua.
ting the place upon hearing Of his APP
proach.
The Costa Ricans have taken pos.
session of all the boats on the San Ju-
an River, thus cutting off commune
cation with Walker. A special dis
patch to the associated press states that
the Costa Ricans were protected in
this act by the English. Three hund-
red recruits we're awaiting at Punta
Arenas for the repairing Of the steam
er, which will take five days, when they
are determined to proceed up the riv-
er. Just as the Texas was leaving, a
messenger arrived, stating that Wal
ker, fearing that something was wrong,
had come over and finding the state Of
affairs, had recaptured Fort San Car
los, which had been taken by the en-
Iemy, and was rapidly coming down
the river, scattering all before him.

J Right glad are we to welcome
again to our exchange list the Chilli
cOtAe Advertiser. Our qualification is
increased by the fact that the name of
Mr.. Z. 3. EsHELMAN, appears as ed
itor and publisher. The tone and
ability Of the editorials give evidence
that Mr.. E. is at his old post again.
We trust that his efficient service in
that capacity may be amply rewarded
and that the Advertiser may never
again be suspended for the want of
support. The editor states that a
circumstance" has occurred which has
induced him to revive the paper, but
what the circumstance" is we are left
to conjecture. Suppose it to be the
appointment of Post Master at Chilli
Gothic, Of which we had flying report
not long ago. .

the worst features of political and so.

scrap that may record any unusual
crime, poverty, suffering or other
wrong ; every editorial paragraph de-
nouncing slavery or any other evil

The Surplus Revenue in the
United States Treasury.

The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore San thus writes:
According to the estimate of the
Secretary of the Treasury the surplus
revenue on the Both of June, 1858,
will be 500, 900, unless the tariff
be reduced, and the outstanding debt,
which is now about $50, 100000, be
brought in. No reduction Of the tar
if will take effect upon the revenue
for the present fiscal year, even if q
realized tariff bill be passed at this
session; and as to the debt, it will come
in very slowly, if at all, even at the
liberal premium offered. Therefore
the Treasury will necessarily be over.
burdened with money for some time
to come.
There can beno revision ofthe tariff
at this session, unless the various in
terests affected by it can be brought
to some reasonable compromise, and
an effort to that end is now ma.
king.
The creditors of Texas arc prepar.
ing for an urgent application to Con-
gresS for further relief, to the extent Of

ton was held in Columbus, a few DAYS
since, at which it was resolved to sup.
port a temperance ticket during the
ensuing campaign. We think the at
tempt to galvanize the Maine Law

less one. A measure that has been
so thoroughly tried and found so la
mentally wanting as the so called

to discontinue the Democrat is to pay
up all back dues first, and then order
the paper stopped. This course would
indicate honesty ofpurposo and would
be, furthermore, in perfect accordance
with our terms, which we keep stand
ing on the first page for the benefit of

will also be found certain Court decis-
ions and postal rules and regulations,
for which we beg a careful p%eru8al.--
We regret to say that there arc men
so lost to all sense of honor that they
never intend to pay the printer. 1t
does not require q very long time to
ascertain such characters nor a great
deal Of labor to give their names to
the public. SeLfinte,68t, if not self
respect, should induce them to pursue
a different course. Believing that a
man who would cheat the printer out
