, The Mormons.

The proclamation of Brigham Young against
the United States army reduces the Mormon
question to narrow compass. They are in
open rebellion against the government. and
should they be able to repulse the small mill
tary force now in the midst of their mountain
passes, they must know that with the return
of spring an army will march against them
Sufficient to reduce them to submission upon a
o very short notice. if they remain in Utah
But we adhere to our first impression that the
early evacuation of Utah by the Saints is the
ultimatum which lies at the bottom of this re-
belon. But Brigham Young has too much
shrewdness to entertain the idea for moment
hat he can, by force of arms, maintain, his
territorial dictatorship against the military re-
sources of the United States. His soul object
in this present war, is doubtless to keep back
the government troops from Salt Lake City
during the winter; for with the removal Of
the SHOWS next summer, he will most probably
with his whole community, bag and baggage,
wives, concubines and children, be off for the
British possessions His Northern exploring
tour Of the last summer, we dare say, had ref
erence to this movement At all events, stay
or go, this Mormon rupture brings the Nor
mon question to a speedy solntion.-Nelo

Crops in Mercer.

The :" State Gazette" of Saturday last gives
the following fattering account of the corn
crop in Mercer County, the past season, and
the favorable appearance Of the winter grain
at the present time. 1t SAYS
1.-THE farmers in this county have been busy
for some weeks past, husking their corn. The
crop is probably the largest ever raised in the
county, and almost every farmer has been
obliged to build new cribs-the old ones, which
have been large enough heretofore, being alto
gether insufficient for the great crop of this
year.
The winter grain in all parts of the county
presents very favorable appearance. The
freouent rains and mild weather of the Au-
tumn SO far, have caused it to grow with lux
uriance, giving it a firm root before winter sets

Blowing from a Gun.

In the accounts received from India, we have
frequently been told that the English blew the
Sepoys from their guns; but perhaps no one o.
our readers has fully appreciated the cruelty
of such punishment. The following vivid
description, published in an English paper from
a medical officer, will give an idea of English
barbarity as practiced in india Such punish.
ment is a disgrace to any civilized nation.
i" "A medical officer of this Presidency, says
the Bombay Gazette, conspicuous for his bra
very and gallantry during some of the late dis
turbances, gives description of an execu.
ton parade" which is terribly graphic We
have some scruples about publishing it, and
emily do so in the hope that, as suggested by
the friend who forwarded it to us. it may thus
reach the native public, through the medium
of the vernacular papers, and SO be the means
Of some good.
g The first parade was a horrible sight, but
the blowing away from guns is most appalling.
After the explosion, the grouping of the mems
remains in front ofeaeh gun, was various and
frightful One maasshead was perched upon
shis back, and he was staring round as if look
ing for his legs and arms. All you see at that
time is cloud, like a dust storm composed Of
shreds Of clothing, burning muscle, andfrizzMg
fat, with Jumps of coagulated blood. Here
and there stomach or liver comes falling
down in sinking shower. One wretched fell
low slipped from the rope by which he was
tied to the gnn just before the explosion, and
his arm was nearly set on fire. While hang
ing inshis agony under the gun, a sergeant
applied pistol to his head, and three times
the cap snapped, the man each time wincing
from the expected shot. At last rife was
fired into the back Of his head, and the blood
poured out of his nose aid mouth like water
from briskly handled pump. This was se
most horrible sight of all. | have seen death
in all its forms, never anything to equal this
mans end"

Dew Street House, New York.

The Dey Street House, corner of Green

Highly Important from Europe.

E. The New York papers of yesterday contain
news of the highest Importance from Europe,
received by the steamship Vanderbilt, which
left Southampton on the 14th inst. The in
telligence is three days later than that brought
by the Atlantic; but in that brief interval a
fearful financial panic had prevailed through
out Great Britain; commercial houses in all
directions went down before the storm, and
cotton declined three cents pound, as COM
pared with the prices of week previous. =
The crisis eliminated on the 18th instant,
when the government suspended the Charter
act of the Bank of England, and authorized an
unlimited issue of notes. The effect of this
the movement was quickly felt at every
point-the excitement ceased, and business af
fairs assumed somewhat of their usual quiet
ude Parliament was to assemble immediate
Iy. Cotton recovered one cent and half OF
the decline, and the market closed with an ad.
vaacing tendency. Breadstufs were dull, and,
-four had fallen sixpence to one shilling.
The details of the news from India had
reached England. 1t was reported that
that Lucknow, which had been relieved by
Havelock, was again besieged by fifty thou
sand Sepoys, commanded by Mana Sahib.-
The massacre at Delhi was horrible AL the
people found in the city were put to the

Jos. P Bradley. ]. W. Scot, VIM Penuiug-
ton, and A. Mclean, Counsel for Plaintiff in
Error.
Hon. w. L. Dayton, Attorney General
and Joel Parker, Prosecutor of Monmouth
| Pleas, for Defendant.
This case, which came up on assignment of
error from the Monmouth Over and Perminer
was argued at the present term Of the Supreme
Court, and the opinion of the Court was deliy-
cred on Saturday by the Chief Justice
The counsel for Donnelly objected that the
verdict was not properly entered One count
of the indictment charged that the crime was
committed with dagger; another that it was
a dirk; another that it was a knife; and the
other with a dirk knife; the Jury convicted on
each of these counts, while the counsel conter-
ded that they should have convicted on but
one.
The Court decided that the verdict was prop
erly entered. The verdict simply finds the
prisoner entity of one crime-the murder of
Albert S. Moses The Court held that the
offence was really the killing by violence, and
| that the description of the Instrument was i'm
material. The substance of the thing is that
the prisoner inflicted mortal wound, whereof
Moses died. and the instrument with which the
offence was committed is in reality no part of
the finding, any more than the precise length
aud depth of che wound charged in the indct-
ment. The apparent incongrnty arises from
a tenacious adherence to ancient forms in the
indictment, while in the proof the form is dis
regarded, and the substance alone recognized
The Court added that even if it be admitted
that the verdict is technically erroneous, and
should have been entered on one count only,
the judgement could not be reversed, because
the statute provides that no judgement or in
dictment shall be reversed for mere lack of
orm-nor for any error except such as may
have prejudiced the defendant in maintaining
his defence on the merits
The remaining exceptions all relate to errors
alleged to have been committed on the trial.

Wholesale Murders in New York.

w uOl0Sdl0 Muru0ES III NOW 4OFks
The New York Herald of Friday last, thus
enumerates the fearful increase of crime in
that city for few days previous
The increase of crime in our midst is truly
alarming, and enough to make the stontest
heart quail. Within the past three days we
have been called unon to chronicle the murder
of no less than three persons, and the mortal
wounding of four others. Where the carnival
of blood is going to end we know not. Cit-
zens can no longer resort to the public high
ways after nightfall without fear of death be-
meath the bravos steel The killing of young
Hamilton in drinking saloon in Canal street,
marked the commencement of the bloody
epoch The following night Francis Vincint
was murdered in North William street; VIM
Marshall, the negro, was mortally wounded,
corner Of West Broadway and Canal streets,
and a grocery man in Seventeenth street,
named Fraser, received fatal stab while ejec-
ting rowdy from his store Scarcely twenty
four hours had elapsed when we were again
Mortified by q wholesale butchery at a dance
house in Water street. The following table
Of the names of those who have died, and
those who are now dying from the effects Of
wounds received from the hands Of assassins,
will give our readers some idea of the crime in
the metropolis for the past few days:
Henry E. Hamilton, murdered in Canal
street.
2-Francis Vincent, murdered in North
William street.
3-McManus, murdered in Water street
4-Wm. Marshall, colored, mortally

wonder at it? The successive trials Of speed
