MORMON OuTRAGEs.--WA auINGToN, Oct. 10
tS57.-A letter as been Received in this city
from W. p. Landon, one Of the clerks whom
the late surveyor General (Burr) left in charge
of the Office, when he, for his own safety, left
the Territory Of Utah last Spring. He was, on
the 18th of September, at Placerviile, Caiior-
MIA. In giving an account of his escape from
Salt Lake City, he says that while engaged In
conversation with party oil emigrants, he was
assaulted by gang Of Mormons, led on by q
fellow named Dick Petit, an ruttiAn ascot
ate, who, without cause, severely beat him with
stones and clubs. He was scarcely abb, to reach
home In consequence OF his wounds. The SAINT,
afternoon they attacked tho Deputy Surveyor,
Mogo, by stoning him.
Lpndon was driven from his home at night.
leaving his wife and child at Salt Lake CITY,
Alter adroitly eluding his armed pursuers, he
reached Placerville in the most distressing con.
dillon. He says he met on the road the Indl-
an feter, who used to frequently visit the Sur.
yeyor-General's office. Peter informed him
that Brigham Young had sent him out to get
horses and carbines. The Indian spared his
ME, because he had on several occasions given
him red paint. Landon had not long parted
from him before he (the Indiau) shot u mar
with i've balls. Toe man escaped, though much
injured.
Another clerk, MIR. Wilson, in the Surveyor
Generals Office, was also attacked by the Nor
mons. They roughly seized him, bearing him
away from his family. They Commanded him
to, come along and make no fuss or they would
On soon show him what they were going &c
do with him.
Mr.. Landon's letter gives the particulars oil
those occurrences. He concludes by sayinl
that !" all the Mormons have left Placervill,
and Carson Valley Tor the purpose Of defend
ing zion."

Import Ut thu remark as it related to Mr.. Beu-
ton, and then was silent for time Il might
say was sad. The tolls Of tho State Depart
mcDt press too heavily upon him, and his APP
pearance ut times betrays the fact. His country
appreciates the great value Of his present ser
vices but ought not 10 require them Of him.-
a Secretary Of state, however, cannot labor
with other eyes, and ears, and brain than his
own and few men in such position G.e will

mint when tho opportunity hus been acquired
to compass them. Besides, it is glorious to
die In high positions, and in the discharge OF
honorable duty.

liINTs FOR THE TfMEs.--Those who have
money should assist their neIghbors In meet
ing their engagements; make any improve
ment that will pay the interest OF the sum re-
quired for such purpose, or give employment
to as many persons as possible, without In
aicting actual loss on themselves. Above al
they should promptly pay their debts and thus
enable others to do the same.
Those who have not money but have avail.
able property, should soil such portion OF II
as will realize such sums as will enable them
TO pay cash for all their purchases, and at the
same time llquldate old scores. The farmer
should never allow his laborers to call twice
for their money, nor any other class of men,
and at the same time persist In holding his
wheat aud other grain for higher price.
Those who have neither money nor avail
able property, should engage in any honor
able employment that offers, even if the wa
ges should be low as it is better to be at work
A.r small remuneration than to be idle. Ey-
cry one should try and earn something, so that
ne may not be forced to either beg, starve or
steal. Work ut half pay is much better than
no work at all, and therefore we say, that any
employment 10y which ever so small sum can
be realized, should not be despised.
Our banks should endeaYor to furnish the
means necessary to enable every one to prose-
cute legitimate business, which yields Ger.
tain return, and gives employment to labor
Nopursuit should languish while there is q
d'mand for Its products, because Of lack Of
funds tn carry il on successfiIly
Above all every one should endeayor to
1--we within his income, whatever 1t may be-,
purchasing nothing that he has not reason
able and well grounded hope that he can pay
for, us 1t is better to 60 to ssno Inconvenience,
than become involved in debt. The great
panacea for hard times Is cash payments The
butcher, the grocer, the tradesmen and dealer
IN every article OF merchandise is benefited
by such course, and business generally i'm
proved. Those who doubt this should make
the experiment, and we hope that tho bill Of
the printer will come in among the first.
The remedy for hard times is to be econo.
mlcal In everythlng-to purchase no uunecss.
sIFy article of food or clothing-to make no
unnecessary expenditure, to live within the
Income whatever it may be, in short to be
honest, frugal and industrious. Those who
have pursued this course, practised thes. yir.
tues, can laugh at the hard times and never
fear the approach of want.

counties are as follows Chase, q, 409i Payne,

county in which Cincinnati is included, gives
Payne BIAS majority.
