IMPORTANT RUMoRs" FROM UrAH.-The Nebras-
ka correspondent of the New York Times announces
the arrival in that Territory of divers Mormon de-
serters, who left Salt Lake City early in October
They bring two weeks later intelligence, which, if
true is of high importance. They say that Brigham
Young, at the head of large force was preparing
to leave Salt Lake City to give battle to the United
States troops. They further aege that the noun
tain pass, at which the Mormons will attempt to
military point of view, will give them overwhelming
advantage that in their rebellion they will receive
material aid from the Indians; and that their ulti-
mate design is to throw off all allegiance the Union,
and establish themselves an independent govern.
ment. 1t is possible that the story told by these
Mormon deserters may be exaggerated. We shall,
however, soon learn the truth.

Mrs. MYRA CLARK GAMEs.-This lady deserves to
rank among the foremost of gifted and extraordinary
women Of this or other times If hope that
dampen, faith that holds fast to its convic
ton though all around may fail courage that mounts
higher with opposition, and dares the more the
mightier the foe, will that trumphanty encounters
mans WILL and intellect that matches mans intel
lect, united with warm. generous and magnani-
nous heart and true womanliness of character-if
these constitute heroic woman. then is Mrs. Myra
Clark Gaines heroine in much more than the con-
ventional sense in which the term is employed by
romancists and novelists. Her history surpasses
mance-it is stranger than fiction.
Mrs. Gaines is in this city, experimenting in
person the procurement of important evidence to be
produced in her case before the United States Dis
trct Court, sitting in New Orleans next month.
The evidence is said to embrace new and startling
discoveries in the records pertaining to the will Of
Daniel Clark and the relations between him and
Richard Rolf, and to be such as to inspire the ut
most confidence on the part Of Mrs. Gaines in the
positive and definite success of her cause. Such a
result, after twenty-five years Of wonderful perse.
vereance and heroic struggle, would seem to vndi-
cate the exstance of just God who will not forsake
those who, convinced of the justice of their cause
trust in him and refuse to despair-N. D. Della

RALEIGH. Oct. Goth. 1857.


RALEIGH, Oct goth, 1857
John ". Syme Esq:
DEAR S1R-I have just received letter from j.
NJ Hinton Esq, of Elizabeth City, requesting me to
have a mistake corrected which occurred in the
I" List Of Premiums awarded at the late State Fair"
published in the Register and copied into the other
papers of the city. The first premium of $25, for
the best quick daught stallion over years old, was
awarded to Morgan Rather" owned by DR.. R. X.
ty. Will you please make this correction, and
oblige, Yours very respectfully,
VIM. D. COOKE,
Sec Ex Com. State Ag. Soc.
We have all along been under the impression that
the list of premiums, as published was incomplete;
and We have been waiting to see complete list
We have doubt it is all right but still the people
would like to full and correct list. The one
published may be full for all we know, but as we
saw no premiums at all in the poultry department,
we naturally concluded it was incomplete. Does
the Society have list published? If So whose bus
mess is it to have it done? But said we have
doubt it is all right, and probably the list already
published is complete.
BALTIMORE CIrY.-The controversy between the
Governor of Mary land and the Mayor of Baltimore
all ended in smoke, and the City was left to the May
or-that IS, to the rowdies, rioters and similar off
shoots Of Know Nothingism. There were proclaim
ations, correspondence, reports of committees, &C.,
and after the stir and excitement of few days. mat
tiers left to take their course the Governor
revoking his orders for troops after finding he could
not get any; and the Mayor becoming very courte-
GUS and condescending when he found he had every
thing his own way.
At the time of writing this have not heard
from the election on Wednesday, but probably shall
hear before we go 10 press. We hope our expecta-
tons may not be fulfilled, but expect to hear of
riots, revolvers bowie knives, and the usual impe-
ments of X. N. victories.
The reports that Gov. Lyon applied to the Pres
dent for troops, and to Gov. Wise for muskets are
