Major Jack Downing thus relatesa conrer-
sation he had with Mr.. Buchanan on Utah
Old Buck is a good deal rallied with Brigham,
Young, who, with his one hundred wives
have created rebellion-when the old Bpcl,
hasn't one that he can call his own. IF one
woman created a rebellion in the garden of
Eden when she had a man and ought to bin
satisfied, it isn't wonderful that one hundred
should do the like III Utah, having only one
man among 'em all! Says I, i5ucky. did
you ever see union and harmony where there
was hundred wimen and but one man-it's
agin all mater to expect it-and the only wav
to bring matters to good sartin point, is to
sec each woman has her arm Yes, but SAID
old Buck, then every man would be obleec'd
to hev his woman. Yes, sartin, sez [. Wen
then, sez he, they'd blame me for the hull of
this trouble and say I'd sot'en bad exam
pie That's so, sez /, and since YOU druy SO
many woman to take up with one man be-
kase you refused to take your sheer, its your
duty to make 'em live peaceabic as they are.
or else break the hull thing up by reforming
and setting every old bachelor good exam
pie by takin one of these dclpdcd woman for
your sheer, to once.

Mr.. Robert j. Walker resigned the
Gesernorsbip of Kansas oD the 18th inst
IN letter addressed to the Secretary Of
State. This letter occupies four columns
of foe type, and contains the reasons
which induced the resignation. Mr.. Walk
er states he accepted the appointments a
gainst bis wishes, and on the express con
dition that the Constitution should be
submitted to the vote of the people 10 q
way to give all an opportunity to express
their opinions and to prevent fraud. The
President agreed to these points without
reservation, and the Governor shaped his
official course accordingly. Now The
President backs out, and insists upon a
line of policy which the Governor is con-
fdent from his experience in Kansas and
his knoSledge of the people there, will, IL
pursued, result 10 civil war. The letter
is dispassionate and forcible, aud cannot
fail to produce a deep impression on the
country. The Cabinet have resolved that
it uust be answered, aud the replication
will bear the signature of Mr.. Cass.

versity of disposition. After while their
parents sought for them, but to their as
tonishmeut. found they had disappea red
After looking long while they found
them lying piled one on another in large
wooden chest in shed in the garden
Four were dead, and the fifth, though
still breathing, was in SO desperate state
that he died shortly after. The lad re-
fered to was then questioned, and he
calmly related the astounding fact th at
be had persuaded the children to euter
into the chest in play-bad then slammed
down the lid and seated himself oD it, re-
manning there for 3quarters OF n hour list
eDDg to their cries and groans. He then
raised the lid to see if they were dead,
and finding they were not so, he fastened
it by means of hasp. after which be
went off to fly bis kite. The little mon
