THE NEWS.

FoRE1GN.-The U. S. Mail steamship Van
derbilt, from Havre and Cowes, arrived al
New York on the 18th, with London dates
| to the 9th. There has been another bloody
battle in India. Rebels defeated as usual
and 400 left dead on the field. The rebels
were collecting rapidly at Calpee where they
were making another stand against the Brit
ish. There had been an extraordinary and
fearful eruption OF Mount Vesuvius, causing
the loss of many lives and a large amount
of property. The London papers con tair
interesting articles in reference TO the out
RACES on American vessels in the Gulf OF
Mexico. The dispatch says nothing of any
further proceedings in Parliament in rea-
ton thereto, and the presumption is that
nothing has occurred.
E-Col. Kane, Who left Camp Scott on the
10th of May, reports that it was the impres,
sion in Utah that Brigham Young, who
espoused the cause of the U. S., would in
this respect be able to maintain his position.
There Yves at one time strong opposition to
him before emigration was resolved upon,
but even since this feeling of hostility has
been subsding, all the northern settlements
are evacuated, with the exception of few
Mormons left to guard the public property
at Salt Lake City; and beside these there
are no Mormons for 40 miles south of thai
city. Private but authentic advices accom-"
panyng Gen. Johnson's dispatches from
Utah, state that the submission of the Nor
mons is sullen and unsatisfactory, and not
withstandng all their professions, they still
hold actual military poss ession of all the
passes.
The N. Y Tibune's correspondent says
dispatches from England were laid before
the Cabinet on the 10Th. Tney do not in
any substantial form correspond to the eX-
pectations Of the Administration or the
opinions authorized by Napier's assurances
While they disclaim authority for any often
sive acts on the part OF the cruisers in the
Gulf of Mexico, and are prepared to make
TO that extent, they insist upon
the suppression Of the slave-trade. dis
position to exercise the right of visit in the
most acceptable manner is avowed, and to
that end Lord Palmerston expresses his will
lngness and desire to receive any suggestions
from the American Government The mex
pected tone of these dispatches has made
much impression in the Cabinet.

LOOK BEFORE YOU KIcK.-A min
lister recently, while on his way to
preach funeral sermon in the country
called to see one of his members, an
old widow lady, who lived near the road
he was travelling. The old lady had
just been making sausages, and she felt
proud of them, they were so plump,
round and sweet. Of course she insis
ted on the minister taking some of the
links home to his family. He objected
on account of not having his portman-
teau along. This objection was soon
overruled, and the old lady, after wrap
ping them in rag, carefully placed a
bundle in either pocket of the preach
er's capacious coat. Thus equipped,
he started for the funeral. While at
tending to the solemn services Of the
grave, some hungry dogs scented the
sausages, and were not long in tracking
them to the pocket Of the good mans
overcoat. OF course this was great
annoyance, and he was several times
under the necessity Of kicking those
whelps away. The obseluies at the
grave completed, the minister and con-
gregation repaired to the church where
the funeral discourse was to be preach
ed. After the sermon was finished
the minister halted to make some re-
marks to his congregation, when a
brother, who wished to have an appoint
ment given out, ascended the steps Of
the pulpit and gave the minister's coat
hitch, to get his attention. The di-
vine, thinking it a dog having design
upon his pocket, raised his foot, gave
a good kick, and sent the good brothe,
sprawling down the steps.
/" You will excuse me, brethren ant
sisters" said the minister corfusedly
and without looking at the work he hat
done, 6 for I could not avoid it.

MARS AND VENUs.-That ruddy lu.
minary now visible in the southerly
section Of the heavens every fair even
ing-that red cornelian Of the sky-is
the veritable planet Mars. He is not
far, in apparent position, from the con-
stellation Scorpio. His distance from
US, as he completes his circuit every
twenty-five months, varies from about
24O million miles to SO millions. This
variation in distance occasions of course
diversity in his apparent size. When
nearest to us, he appears somewhat as
at present-large, glowing, brilliant,
and some twenty-five times larger than
when farthest from us. At his remote
extreme, he is hardly noticeable as an
ordinary star. His diameter is about
4,2OO miles. He presents to the good
telescope eye, spots on his full -orbed
surface, which have declared the fact
and the period Of his axual rotation.-
His orbital speed is about fifty.fve
thousand miles an hour. He was in
opposition to the sun nearly three weeks
since. Mars is an object now worthy
of more than mere cursory glance.
Give him an attentive look !; and af-
ter having satisfied your eyes with his
rubic rays, turn towards the west, and
view the silvery Venus, now in her ce-
lestial phase. These planets are Some
times in conjunction, and perhaps,
thence arose the fable Of antiquity re-
specting the rude contact of the fierce
god Mars and the beautiful Venus

head up the stream, and stopped. The
lady informed them that the duds and

The state and Congregational Com
VcmtiOMs.

The universal sentiment of all. who wit
messed these assemblies was one of satisfac-
ton and admiration. The warm and enthu-
siastic interest felt in the Republican cause
and its success in the coming campaign, by
Republicans over all the State, was evinced
by the numerous attendance and the presence
of delegations from all parts of the State,
Notwithstanding the bad roads and the
pressing demands of the season upon the
time and attention of farmers. Every aus
pce was cheering. Harmony and good
feeling pervaded the meetings, and we be-
lieve that not delegate returned from these
conventions who was not irresistibly i'm
pressed with frmer confidence in the pro.
gress of the party, and with deeper con-
viction Of the hold that Republican princi-
Piles are fast taking upon the hearts ct the
people of Iowa.
Sound and reliable men, not mere polite
ians or party hacks, were there, lending the
weight Of character and of years to their
counses. The ranks were full of independ-
ent and honest minded men, whose support
few years ago gave lustre to the Demo-
cratic party. Old Henry Clay Wings stood
shoulder to shoulder with them. And young
men, whose first allegiance and first vote
were given for Republican principles, added
their enthusiasm and energy to the proceed
ings.

When the Convention had closed its la

man, we have never heard speaker since
Corwin, who possessed such power of rivet-
ing the attention of an audience, and sway
ing their passions as he listed. Burst after
burst of laughter and applause followed
nearly every sentence that he uttered, and
he sat down when his speech was ended to
be greeted with the congratulations of his
hearers on all sides. We hope that Mr..
Pomeroy will be brought here during the
canvass, and if he is, we prom Sc all who
hear him one of the richest treats they have

The ART OF BEING HAPPY.-The art
of being happy is less cultivated in this
land than almost any other. We make
extravagant preparations for it We give
no bounds to our enterprise we heap
up material we go through an i'm
mense experience preparatory to being
happy. But, in the main, it is the
very thing we forget to extract from an
abundant preparation. Contentment
is quality which few know how to
reconcile with aspiration, and Still les 5
with enterprise. Satisfaction, there
fore, is the bright ideal Of the future.
1t never blossoms to-day. It is always
to morrow. Men never come up with
their hope. The short and intense ex-
citements which we mis-name enjoy
ments, are paroxysms, not steady pull
sations. At length it comes to pass
that men do not enjoy life in the midst
Of their heapel-up prosperity. And
amid reverses they bemoan themselves
when the topmost leaves Of the banyan
tree are plucked by the wind, and re-
fuse to shelter themselves beneath the
vast breadth Of what remains:-H. ".
