We learn from the Delhi Democrat,
that Christopher c. Sharp, the murder
er of DR.. Stout, in Delaware County,
Iowa, has again been captured. The
scoundrel escaped from the States
Prison at Fort Madison, some months
since, and was next heard of in Ten
ncsscc, where he married girl of six,
teen, lady of highly respectable
parents. His wife hearing Of it had
him arrested for bisamy and our
State authorities have now taken him
in charge. As the brutal murderer OF
DR.. Stout, the villain, Sharp, deserved
death and now for the seduction OF
an innocent and artlcss young girl, he
merits the scverest torturcs.

The latest news from our Pacific
empire was that the Legislature OF
California had passed an act submit
ting to the people the question OF
calling q convention to revise the
Constitution of that State. The pre-
text for this is for California to le-
galize her public dept, and resume the
interst thereon. But though this
is the ostensible motive, the real dc
sign is to divide California into three
States. The Pacific region is filled
with ambitious men, who aspire to be
Governors of States, members OF
Senate, &C., but there are not now
States enough to make chances for
them all. Then there is still another
motive, and that is to make slave
state of the most southerly of the three
new States.

The following extract from the London
Cores pondence of the Boston Post teaches
lesson that ought to afford a warning to
those who are inclined to make money their
idol:
MIR Morrison, senior partner of the firm
of Morrison, Dillon q CO., one of our 'Mer-
chant princes" died on Friday last at the
age of 65 years. The career of Mr. Morri-
son, as a successful merchant in a single
line of business, is unparalleled, for while
the Rothschilds, Astors, Girards and other
millinnaires have dabbled in various matters,
Mr. Morrison was simply Manchester ware
houSeman, or in New York phraseology, a
dry goods merchant, having the single end
in view of making his house the richest i'm
the world. He commenced his London life
ilS a clerk, and has met with no extraOrdina-
ry turn of fortune at any particular time,
the bnlk of his property being the proceeds
Ofregular business returns. The times states
his wealth to have been about G4,O00,-
COO sterling, but it is said to considerably
exceed that sum. Mr. Morrison retired
from active business several years since,
without Withdrawing his capital from the
mercantile house, and though managing his
vast funds himself up to the time of his
death, with all the sagacity of earlier days,
he has for the last three years been possess
ed with the idea that he should come to
want. More than two years ago he COM
menced doing day labor upon farm held
by one of his tenants, for which he received
twelve shillirgs week, and this he continu-
ed up to the time of his illness. For the
last eighteen months h had been a regular
applicant for relief to the parish, assemb-
ling twice a week with the town paupers at
the door of the Union" and receiving with
each one of them his two shiIlings and a.
quarter loaf. His friends have induced
him in these fancies on the ground that it
was the best choice of two evils. The truth
is money was his god, and the idea be-
came at last too great for him and broke
him down. And yet he is said to have
made judicious will. and his investments
up to the last are characterized by great
good sense. The probate duty on his will
exceeds ( 100, 600

U0nen 10 be butchered.
The Sacramento Age of October 10th,
saws: yesterday we had an interview with
Il gentleman from Carson Valley, who, from
intimacy with Mormon families, has some
I'm, Wedge of their future designs and plans
Of operation. Ifhis conclusions be correct
not only the settlers east of the mountains
but even the people of this State, will have
reason To dsprecate the evaporation OF
those American Bcdouins. He says that
the Mormons of Carson Valley and San
Bernardino have sold their cattle and pro-
pcrty for nearly nothing, and, at the bid
ding of their chief, have repaired to Salt
Lake. with the secret design Of reOrganiz-
ing, arming, equipping, returningmurdering
and lrlumdcring their Gentle enemies. They
declare that, for every Saint slain by the
United States troops, ten Gentle women
shall make atnnement; that they will first
rxtrrminate the troops from the East, then
come West, and in predatory bands, allied
with Indians, they will ravage the border,
rob, plumber and murder, until they shall
have repleni>hed the Lords treasury. and
revenged insults put OH his chosen people.
''Of their ability to execute this threat
we have but little doubt. At the order of
their leader and prophet, they can muster
$1,000 men, armed with the most effective
instruments of destruction. They have
many thousands of the finest horses, trained
to camp service; they have foundry where
cannon and shells are cast; powder mill
and factory, where revolving rifles and
pistols are manufactured, equal to those
made at Hartford. They have every NUM-
ton of war, and necessary provisions and
means Of transportation within themselves,
and even the women and children are in
structcd in the use of arms. Add to their
geographical position. To reach Salt Lake
from the east, it is necessary to pass
through Il canon of twenty five miles, under
hills so steep and rocky that dozen men
could hurl down an avalanche of stones on
All approaching caravan; and even in the
event of several thousand troops reaching
the valley, the besiegcd, with their herds,
would take to the mountains, and. rcinfolc-
ed by their savage allies, would, in turn.
heSieGe their besicgers, and cut off supplies
until the invaders lad starved out
They have, it is said, 10000 Indian al
lies, whom they are ready to furnish with
arms and horses on an emergency. These
Indians are partially instructed in the Nor
mon rcliginn-enough TO make them super
stitious i'll regard TO the God of superior
race, yet modifying none of their ferocity."

Our houses have been plundered and then
burned, our fields laid waste, our principal
men butchered while under the pledged
faith of the government for their safety,
and our families driven from their homes to
find that shelter in the barren wilderness
and that protection among hostile savages
which were denied them in the boasted
abodes of Christianity and civilization.

try guarantees unto us all that we now or

Ift the constitutional rights which pertain
unto Us as American citizens were extend

meaning thereof, and fairly and impartially

that we have ever asked.
Our opponents have availed themselves
of prejudice existing against us because of
our religious faith, to send out a formidable
host to accomplish our destruction. We
have had no privilege nor opportunity of
defending ourselves from the false. foul and
unjust aspersions against US before the ma

CURIOUS PHYSICAL PHENOME--
NOM

Ansel Bowen, young man residing in
Westerly, r. l.. was the subject of Gu
rious physical phenomenon a short time
since. On the Doth of October, having some
business to transact in another village, a
short distance from Westerly, he was pro-
ceeding to transact it, and before he enter
ed the place, while walking along by the
road side he suddenly felt as though a dark
cloud was passing athwart his face, and the
next instant he was stricken entirely blind.
In moment more he lost the use of his
speech, so that by all his endeavors he was
absolutely unable to utter single sound.
To crown all, his calamities were increas-
ed by the loss of his sense of hearing, which
instantly left him, and then he was without
the power to see his way, to call for assis-
lance, or to evade danger by getting out of
the way, not knowing what was next to hap
pen. He stood like stone, till luckily one
of his companions passed that way, saw
Bowen, and went to speak with him, but he
turned him round; but he neither spoke or
opened his eyes, but pointed to his tongue,
and anon to his eyes and ears. He was
conveyed to his home. Pistols were fired
near him without making the least impress
sion. He was the incarnation of mystery.
! When he ate it was with a spoon. When
he walked he was led like blind man.
He kept along in the same situation sew
enteen days. At the end of this time, Sun
| day morning, Nov. Is, as he was going to
church, the cloud was dissipated and he
again saw as formerly. He went to church.
carrying with him a small slate on which to
write questions and answers. When the
music was begun, the sense of hearing re-
turned, though speech came not. During
the morning service he wrote some on the
slate, and when the preacher got through
Bowen returned to his home, reioiced at
the sudden return of his senses, and appar-
emily in as good health as he was when he
first experienced the calamity. We have
the above facts from the physician who at
tended him.-ProUidence (R. l. Tribune
q Secretary Stanton, of Kansas, has

the 31st of December, when the President
