WASHINGTON, Juae 5.
The Secretary of War to-day received
telegraphic dispatch from Gen. Harvey,
dated Leavenworlh, in which he says the
express has arrived and reports Gov. Cum
ming driven out of Salt Lake city. Tho
dispatch does mol receive full credence, for
the reason that Gen. Harvey merely reports
and does not communicate itas direct intel
ligence to himself. 1t is believed as pro.
bable that Gov. Cumming has returned to
Camp Scott, for it is known to the Govern
ment that when he left there contrary to
the advice of Col. Johnson, he promised to
be back in two weeks.
The Times correspondent says that Gen
Harney's dispatches to the Secretary Of
War embodied a request for reinforce
meuts to be hurried forward.
Gov Denver has made requisition on
the commanding officer at Fort Leaven-
worth for detachment of dragons TO re-

The EAelDhi Murder.

We have received some additional intel
ligence in regard to the murde committed
in Delphi on Thursday morning. The Cor
oner's jury ELECTED the following facts:
Morrison, or Morris as some of his pri-
vate papers have the name, had recently
moved from the neighborhood of Logans-
port to West Delphi His house was the
resort of the vilest portion of community.
On the night of the murder there had been
q regular row early in the evening, in which
six or eight persons participated. Morri
son, anticipating additional trouble from
them, as they had all been drinking quite
freely, went out after the first melee to get
some help to assist him in defending his
premises. He finally succeeded in Undue
ing man by the name of Jackson, who
owned the house, to stay with him.
He went back again, expecting Jackson
to follow. He had just reached the house
when the difficulties were recommended;
this time between himself, John REILLY ard
another Delphi rounder. whose name we
are not able to get When Jackson reach
ed the house he found Morrison and REILLY
fighting. REILLY struck two or three blows
with slug shot, one breaking in the skull
and another the cheekbone. He desisteG
and left the house, when he saw the proba-
bic effect of the blows which he had given
the man but his comrade persisted in kick
ing. stamping. and otherwise maltreating
the dead body, until forced to quit by jack
son. Jackson then went out and met Ri
ely returning. He enquired about the con-
dition of Morrison, and was informed Of
his death. He suggested the propriety of
throwing water on Linn in the hopes of re-
irving animation, but Jackson said it was
too late. REILLY then remarked, We'll. |
suppose I'm in for it, and then asked
Jackson's advice as to what what he hal
better do. Jackson told him he could not
give him any advice. REILLY then left, and
has not been heard of since. 1t is thou ht
the entire party who were engaged In the
melee, early in the evening, had a guilty
knowledge of the murder. The persons
directly implicted have not yet been taken.

Old Hundred.

Can you find tomb IN the land where
sealed lips lay that have not sung that tune?
If they were grey old men they had heard
or sung "Old Hundred" Sinner and saint
have joined with the endless congregations
where it has, with and without the peal
ing organ, sounded on the sacred air.
The dear little children, looking with
wonder on this strange world have lisped
it. The sweet young girl, whose tombstone
told Of sixteen summers, she whose pure
innocent face haunted you with It's beauty,
loved "Old Hundred" and az she sung it
closed her eyes and seemed communing
with the angels who were soon to claim
her. lie whose manhood was devoted to
the service of God, md he who with the
faItering feet assembled the pulpit steps
with the white hand over the laboring
breast, loved old Hundred"
And though Sometimes his lips only
moved away down in his heart so to cease
its throbs, the holy melody was sounding.
The dear white headed father, with his
tremulous voice, how he loved "Old
Hundred" Martyrs have hallowed it; it
has gone up from the beds Of the saints
The old churches, where generation after
generation has worshipped, and where
scores OF the dear dead have been carried
and laid before the altar, where they gave
themselves TO God, seem to breathe ''Old
Hundred from vestibule to tower top
the air is haunted with its spirit.

was the end had in view by its supporters
both in and out Of Congress. When that
is attained, as it most assuredly will be,
the object for which it was enacted will
have been fully accomplished. The right
of suffrage. and its general and free exel-
else by all bona tide citizens, on subjects
of State and national Importance, is the
most sacred right in the catalogue of priv
ileges granted by free government 1t
lies at the foundation of we'll regulated So
ciety and judicious government; and any
attempt to curtail it, or wrest it from the
hands of its legitimate possessors--the
people,--is direct and unwarrantable vi
olation of one of our most sacred and time
honored principles. The English bill rec
ognizes this right in its fullest sense, and
makes ample provision for its free and un-
trammeled exercise.
The opposition have repeatedly made the
assertion that this bill does not submit the
Lecompton constitution to fair vote of
the people; but every time the assertion is
made. its falsity becomes more apparent.
The following portion of the bill is sufi-
Gent evidence to prove that the Intention
was to secure fair and honest submission:
"But, should a majority of the votes
cast be for proposition rejected" it shall
be deemed and held that the people of Kan
sas do not desire admission into the Union
with said Lecompton] constitution"
Although the bill is not altogether what
we would like to have had it been, yet it is
as good as could have been expected, in the
then entangled state of the question. 1t
does not endorse or denounce the Lecomp-
ton constitution, which renders it perfectly
free from party utilization. Its object is to
get decided and general expression from
the people of Kansas, whether they desire
admission with the constitution now sub
mi;ted for their acceptance or rejection
When this is known, then object of the
bill will be fully accomplished; and the
great hobby upon which unprincipled pol
ilicians have attempted to ride into power.
will be known only as Distinguishing
feature of fanatical age.
With this view of the bill, We endorse
1t as peace measure, we'll calculated t.
subserve the end contemplated; and hope
that its provisions may be rigidly carried
out.

Correspondence of the Detroit Free Press
ToMPKINs, jackson Co. June 1, 1858.
On the morning of the oath May, most extra
ordinary phenomenon appeared here. After a
heavy rain on the night previous the ground was
strewed with small fish, which must have fallen
from the clouds. They were found along the
plank road about half mile in extent and about
the same distance each side of the road, which is
as far as have been. They are of two kinds: one
is the kind known here the dog fish; tie other
no one here has ever seen before. They fell to
the number of 20 to 40 to the square rod of
ground. They were evidently all alive wher. they
fell, and great numbers of them may still be seen
in the pools of water all over the fields and in
the woods. They are very shy and active.
