FoREw ARAED, FoREARMED.--We
submit, without comments, the fol-
lowing extracts from the money ar
ticle Of the New York Herald OF
Wednesday. The Southern people
will see the game on foot to sacrifice

take the proper measures to meet
the emergency and to save their
threatened interests:

Der of Commerce are opposed to any

They think the rate Of discount low
enough, considering that they have
no stocks of Gotten on hand; and
as letters from there say, the crop
grown in the United States lays at
our feet. We can fix the prices we
choose to pay and you must accept
them or go without, as are intend TO
maize The South pay for eur losses at
the NORTH, and are advised that the
crop will be the largest ever gath

tons and solicit a little material to

A TRIBUTE To THE SOUTH. An in-
portant report Of the Committee Of
Finance in the New York Common
Council, after describing the distress
at the North, says:
Look at the contrast. To-day
the foreign debt Of United States
is absolutely less than then. The
South is not only out Of debt, but
abse lutely rich. She owns her own
cotton, sugar, rice, and tobacco, and
adds nothing to the bufthen Of in-
debtedness. The North is in debt,
but the immense surplus Of her pro-
auctions from harvests, hitherto en-
tirely unknown, are amply sufficient
to meet it all, and yet the prices rule
lower than at any period for four
years.

The Value Of County Papers.

A sensible writer, removes the de-
lusion which many people labor under
respecting the value of County pa
pers, in an able article, which we
should like to see widely circulated
In The first place he says they very
naturally aid in directing public at
tention to matters in which every
citizen Of the county is more or less
interested. They contribute in va
risty of ways for the formation of
public opinion, On subjects Of public
interest. They furnish very conven-
lent mediums for the discussion OF
questions Of local interest. They
aid in giving character and importance
to the county in which they are pub
lished. They stimulate taste for
reading, and disseminate in the course
of one year vast amount Of inform
alton, much of which would never
reach portion of the readers through
any other channel They are of
essential good in family, in foster
ing taste for reading among The
children. County papers enjoy an
advantage over the papers published
at distance, because many of their
items are Of local interest. The
advertising columns also are attrdc-
tive to many persons. They are Of
essential service in publishing vari-
Gus items of local intelligence in
which the citizens are more OF less
interested, but Of which many would
remain uniformed, were it not for
these papers. In short, county pa
pers add 10 greatvariety of ways to
the character, intelligence and pros
perity of the county in which they
are published; and therefore have q
strong claim to the support Of oil who
are directly or indirectly benefited.
as to the objection that We fire.
quently hear urged against the sup
port of county papers, that the price
charged for them is too high, it may
be replied, that the price at which
they can be afforded, depends main.
Iy upon the number of the subscribers.
The chief expense in the publication
Of a paper consists in setting up the
matter. One thousand or even ten
thousand copies can be furnished at a
very small addition, comparatively,
to the cost over and above the cost of
composition.

Mormon Belief.

The Washington correspondent OF

Of 18th inst, says:
Glider John Hyde, seceder from
thu Mormons, delivered most in
teresting and instructive lecture here

ditory, his subject being The Tenets

He is an exceedingly good spea-

cal powers. Although but twen-
ty-four years Of age, he was for
seven years connected with the
Mormons as missionary. In bis
lecture he stated that every neo-
phite was bond by the most awful
oaths to swear constant and eternal
hate to the United States, that they
mustincuIcate it to their children,
that they must dlsoaey their au-
thority, and take every opportunity
to oppose its laws. Another doc
irine of the church is that our
Saviouris the son Of Adam,and that
Brigham Young is God, his au-
thority coming from greater Gods
than himself, and that he received
inspirations from the Holy Ghost.
What horrible sacrilege!

The Mormon Strength.

Reporters who profess TO be ac-
quainled with the condition Of the
Mormons, say they Can muster
fifteen thousand fighting men, and
that their women and children are
trained 30 the use Of arms. IN
case Of war, which now appears prob
able, they Can command the service
of twenty thousand Indians. They
have foundry TO cast cannon, n
factory for the manufacture Of guns
aud pistols, a powder mill, add vast
munitions of war.
They can only be approached by
narrow mountain passes, dangerous
10 an invading army, and to sub
due them, in case they rebel, will
require time, and a great sacrifice
Of life and treasure on the part Of
the United States.
But cost what ii may, if the
Mormons provoke the fight, it will
be done, they will be whipped into
suljection. The wonder is that men
born and raised under our govern
ment. knowing its power, and the
spirit of people, can be forced In
10 such contest by their wick
ed rulers. May be they dare not re-
