the Costa Rican papers with near two hun

We' the undersigned, known as the de-

the world, and especially to the Govern

ments with regard to the manner in which
we have been treated by them since we

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Admins
tratlon are, at length, alive to the necessit,
OF crushing ont the Mormons, as sci o
vviipers, while it is yet within their power
lhey are sensible that the temporizino
pollcy OF the late Administration. had the
erect to give confidence to Brigham YOUNG
ana ms followers, and encourage them to
persist in a troasonable course towards tbo
United States.
The military arrangements have been
made with great skill, and with view to
actual service, and to ample supplies for
winter campaign. The veteran Lieutep-
ant General Scott, and Quarter master
General Jesup, superintended these ar
rangcments.
There is now no doubt that processes
against Brigham Young and others for
treason and felony will be issued, and that
they will be tried. The question betwaen
United States law and Mormon occupation
VIII be settled, whether with or without
force.
There is no doubt that the CONGRESS-
committed gross error when they consti
tuted for Utah a Territorial Government.
ihey had every reason to doubt the expe-
dlency OF permitting body of foreign ia
latlcS 10 form Government in the center
OF the continent, and ON the route between
the Mississippi and the Pacific.
Inc Mormons, when they were expelled
from Nauvoo and plunged into the wilderSI
ness intended to set up separate and in
dependent Government, and claim the
country as their own.
Mr.. Vinton, of Ohio, opposed the Terri
tonal bill on this ground, and proposed
the same course which Senator Douglas
IN his late speech at Springfield has sug-
gested. Mr.. Vintor wished then to subject
The inhabitants Of Utah to the laws which
regulate the unorganized Territory of the
United States.
Every man in Utah is squatter, and
Is not entitled to pre-emption.
There is no emption law which can
apply to Utah, so as to enable its inhabit-
'nts to take up for pre-emption, lands,

The REpuDL1cAN CoUrry Cow ,.n,,, :,

IHE REPUBLICAN COUNTY Conventions
1t will be seen by the above calls that
there are to be two county Republican
meetings or conventions. The first. to he
held on the 9th of August, is for the Sc
lection of delegates to Columbus, ou7v.
and is not delegate convention. AllRe-
publican voters who feel interested, are in
'ited to attend. The other, to be held on
the 22d, is the regular nominating conven-
t'on, and is to be delegate meeting.
The reasons which induced the Central
Committee to have the Nominating Con-
Ventlon at a later day than the meeting to
select delegates to Columbus were: 1. The
notice would be too short. if given now, to
make the necessary arrangements fora full
delegation, consider the qualifications of
candidates, &c. g. The lateness of tho
season will make the first week in Aupust
an extremely busy season for farmers, and
the delegation from the country would
necessarily be small then. We think
the arrangement n good one, and think it
viii be satisfactory to all concerned.

there is vein or two of iron ore, near the
bluffs, and about fifteen ortwenty feet below
the coal, extending from the courthouse

so near the bluff, and the property is SO

JAMES GARDNER.--In 1849 or 1850
a lad named James Gardner went from
Rutland township TO California, with n
party of gentlemen who went at that time
from Meigs county. He was quite Young,
and efforts were made to prevent him from
going; but all to no purpose. While in
California, lie did not succeed very well
and but little was heard from him.
One day last week, lady arrived at
Mlddleport and inquired for the relatives
of James Gardner. She said that Gard.
ner had been married to her in California;
that when Walkers fillibustering expedi-
ton started to Nicaragua, they both ac-
companied it; that in one of Walkers bat
ties, Gardner was shot; that after suffer-
Ing nine days, he finally died of his wound,
from loss of blood. The familiarity Of
this lady with the circumstances of the
Gardner family here, leaves but little doubt
OF the truth of her story. She emigrated
to California from New York.
SO it seems that Meigs county is repre-
Sented among the slain of Nicaragua.
