ArmX nInNcnlrntH.

We understand that General Scott is in the
city at his time and II is supposed that the
object Of his presence here is to consult with
the Secretary of War as to new rrangements
for the army in view of the new phase which
has been assumed by the Utah question.
The hegira Of the Mormons from Salt Lake
City is confession Of their indisposition to
face the responsibilities of active rebellion,
and of their weakness to cope with cur dis
ciplined troops. The stampede not only be-
trays the want Of nerve to fight, but also
strips the Mormon force in Salt Lake City OF
n largo portion of its fighting men.
The result will be that q much smaller
army will be required in the Territory than
was deemed safe to despatch against the re-
bellion when it was at its height; and we are
inclined to believe that orders will be forwar-
ded by express to q considerable portion OF
the troops now on their march across the
plains, to turn them towards other directions
than Utah.
The presence of our troops is required in
every portion of the immense domain lying
between the trans-Mississippi frOatier and
the Pacific: and there will be 10 embarrass-
ment for want of occupation for them. The
embarrassment will be, rather, how to dis
tribute small disposable force among vast
number of localities, all requiring protection.
But while portions OF the army itself will
probably be ordered to other destinations
than Utah, we take it for granted that the
immense magazines of supplies that have
been provided will be forwarded to Utah
These supplies having been 'rchased, and
the most ample preparations for their trans
portation having been perfected, the pIalnest
considerations of economy would seem to die
tate the sending them al! to their original
destination; for the remaining expense OF so
doing would be small. considerable body
of troops will have to be kept in Utah for a
long time to come; and these supplies will
serve to support them longer than was cal
cuated, in proportion as the number Of troops
which will be maintained there, compared
with those originally destined for this de-
partment, will be smaller.-LntOn.

Cen. w.,k.r at Cshawbs.

"On Monday last, )" say the Stelna Sentinel.
"Gen. Walker addressed o large concourse OF
the citizens of Dallas county. Ala, 10 the
court house at Cahawba, upon Nicaraguan
affairs. We did not bear his speech, but
were told on Tuesday while at Cshawba, that
it was a complete siudication of his course
IN connection with that movement, aud
an argument to Shareholders to sustain the
movement: His arguments proved efectual
too, Tor quite number of our most substan-
tisl and largest planters came forward and
made proper appreciation Of their earnest
mess by putting down large sums of money.
"Gen. Walker to-day could raise million
of dollars in Dallas county. to Americanise
Central America. Until now, our slave
holders have been disposed to look upon the
movement With indifference; now they have
taken hold of the movement. and II money
will secure success TO it, the shareholders OF
Dallas county, Ala, will secure it."

DIR. Cummings Threatened.

Quite an excitement has been created in
the church circles of Washington, by DR..
Cummings eulogy upon Rev. Dudley A.
Tyng. Tho latter is denounced as having
been yrulcnt abolitionist, and bis eulogists
are classed in the same category.
The Washington States mentions the fol
lowing extraordinary occurrence, which may
have grown out of the excitement:
Yesterday Sunday morning rather
strange looking man called on the Rev. DR..
Cummings, pastor of Trinity Church, at his
residence on Louisiana avenue, and reques-
ted to speak to him. DR.. c. appeared, when
the fellow informed him very coolly that II he
preached that day he would shoot bin; and
without further words be took his departure.
DR.. Cummings took no notice Of the strange
conduct but proceeded to the church and per-
formed bis pastoral duties.
After the morning exercises were over,
and the usual collection was being taken, the
man was noticed to enter the upper gallery
and take seat nearly over the pulpit, at tue
same time fixing his attention upon Dr.
Cummings, who feeling somewhat alarmed
at these strange actions, called gentleman
and informed him what the man had threa-
tened and that he was now in the church.
Two gentlemen Immediately started out al
ter policeman, but did not fibd one.
On returning, the stranger saw tnat pre-
paratious were being made to take him OUT
and be saved the gentlemen the trouble py
making hurried exit from the church, ana
dissppeare down the street.

Mcfarland, The Ciroua Actor.

A Horribie Death.--By the last mail from
the West, letters were received giving an &C
count Of the violent death OF James McFar.
land, the circus performer, recently attached
to Spaldlug X Rogers Circus Company, now
travelling 10 Western Missouri, at the hands
Of a Mr.. Roberts, landlord Of hotel in Lib
erty, Missouri.
IL appears that on reaching the town on
the 2ltn Of May, the deceased determined at
all hazards to see bis wife, who bad been d.
vorced from him and who was now travelling
with rival company. So he proceeded 10
the hotel, examined the register, and asked
the landlord to be conducted to the room Of
his wife, as be wis he'd to see her. 70 this
request the landlord refused permission
He then made a movement to proceed ND
stairs, unaccOmpanied, when the landlord.
armed with a bOwie-knife, immediately
stepped forward in threatening attitude to
dispute the passage. Hard words ensued,
and drawing their weapons simultaneously,
q desperate tight occurred. McFarlau d was
stabbed IN the neck, separating the jugular
vein, aud was also cut several times in the
body; the first blow being enough to cause
death, az he died 10 about three minutes az
ter. The deceased drew bis weapon and FIR
ed one load, but missed his antagonist. Ev.
cry attempt to fire subsequ was ineHsc-
tusl, from tho caps swapping.

steam Gun Boats Proposed.


We are practical people, and, when once
in for thing, get out of it as we'll as We can.
England found herself at the close OF the Rus.
sian war with large number Of idle gun
boats; neither prudent nor sagacious enough
to haul them out on the dry land, where they
could safely rot, she must turn them to ac'
count The West Indies and our southern
coast offered field for their occupation
They came in time to prove to US what We
need in the same waters. The question is
solved as to what we should dc; we need only
now treble ourselves with the manner Of DO
ingit. As partial but good step, We wculd
suggest that q number of steam gunbGats
should be built on the Ohio and Mississippi,
fully equal to cope with the Styx, Buzzard,
or Jaspar. Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Louis
vile, and St. Louis in the respective States
of Pennsylvania, Ohio. Kentucky, and Mis-
souri,, would give field of competition and
emulation to the mechanics of those river
towns " no would beSoused to that pitch that
their seabosrd brethren would, in ordinary
generosity, be compelled to acknowledge their
full paternity in the art and mysteries of
sbip-building, on seeing the vessels they will
have constructed in the heart of the CONT
pent and hoated to the sea. Who would
grudge the million Of dollars as improvidept-
" spent, or lament the debt as imprudently
contracted, which would give such an unmis.
taxable evidence of the gristle of our power?

A Destructive Flood I'm and around Bal
ttmOre.

A Destructive Flood an and around Bal
timOre.
Our city and surrounding country were
visited on Saturday afternoon by the most
destructive food that has occurred since that
of June II, l837-within two days Of TWEEN
ty.one years ago. The volume OF water that
came down Jones Falls, which passes through
the heart OF ,be city, is believed to have been
much greater than during the Hood OF 1901.
The old stone bridges at Gay ana Baltimore
streets, which choked up with floating DRIFT
wood, then acted as a dam, having since been
removed and the stream spanned with iron
superstructurcs, leaving clear flow for the
water, the flood did not rise in the Inundated
portions of the city as high by three feet as
on the former occasion. The damage 10 the
city is consequently not go great, tut the area
of country over which this calamity mas
spread is much more extended, and the aggre-
gate loss Of property is probably greater. In
1887, the flood was confined altogether to
Jones Falls, and was supposed 10 have been
caused by some peculiar phenomenon that
has never been explained. lnG@ynn's Falls,
Schroeder's Run, Herring Run, Rock Run,
the Pdtapsco, and all their tributary streams,
the destruction OF property Oh Saturday was
very great, swelling the aggregate los=-tho
full extent OF which will probably not be
ascertained for some days to come, as nearly
all the turnpike bridges on these streams
have been swept away.
This is the sixth great lreshet that has oc-
Cured on Jones Falls since the settlement OF
Baltimore, carrying away the dams and Bird
yes, and flooding the lower portion OF the
city, west of the stream. The last four OF
these floods are said to have been at Intervals
of twenty one years, though We are not able
to give their precise dates.
We regret 10 be called on to add that this
food, like those that have preceded 1t, was
not unaccomp panied by the loss Of human life.
Two colored women were drowned IN Stony
Run, aud one man in Jones' Fails, at Mount
Vernon factory, which is all we have been
able to learn up to the present time.-BaH.

The Tobacco Trade.

TO Tie Editors IF tic National LrteHigenccr.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, June II, 1858.
By the terms of the Reciprocity Treaty
with Great Britain OF June 9th, 1854, the
| article of "unm anuiactured tobacco" or, in
other, words, tobacco in the leaf, is admitted
! free OF duty into her British North Ameri-
can Provinces" The first section of the
treaty defines what is meant by the words
Brush North American Provinces" and
confines this Limitation to Canada, New
Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edwards
! Island, and the several islands thercunto ad'
jaccnt."
By the third article of this treaty it is pre-
videG THAT the articles enumerated 10 the
schedule hereunto annexed, being the growth
and produce of the aforesaid British Colonies,
or of the United States, shall be admitted
into each country respectively, free Of duty"
Without enumeratlng the various articles
of production included 10 the said schedule,
it is sufficient for my present purposes to say
that "uumnnufactuEed or leaf tobacco is in-
Guided. As the case now stands, according
to the provisions OF this treaty, tobacco grow
crs aud tobacco merchants can export to the
British North American colonies, containing
u population Oh more luan tHTee mlIllOns OF
people, unmauulacIured or leaf tobacco free
II dVty. What Is to prevent the capitalists
OF these Colonies investing their capital in
UHmGHqyact,Ted toJacc0, the growth OF the
United States, and then converting the same,
by the application of their own labor into
the manufactured FORM" and exporting the
same to Great Britain, the mother country, on
the same terms that all other colonial pro-
ductions "of labor" are now exported from
those colonies. Here is rich harvest for
the profitable investment Of capital, if | am
right, hat they would have these privileges.
The excessive duties on tobacco now im-
posed by Great Britain, when exported d.
rectly from the United States, would thus be
aT0iGed, and the tobacco trade Of the United
States relieved 10 great measure from the
unjust and oppressive restrictions now in-
posed by tie cupidIty Of foreign Governments.
have thrown out these reflections simply to
call the attention Of the tobacco trade to the
subject, and would be pleased to hear your
views on the subject. Very respectfully,
your obedient servant THos. I. BOWIE.

nh.Lem,non Case.

The case Of Jonathan Lennon, appellant,
against The People of the State of New York,
resnondents, came up this morning in the
Court of Appeals upon the application OF
counsel for it's bearing as preferred cause.
The Court held that 1t was not entitled TO De
heard Ont Of its order on the calendar under
any statutory rule, and that whatever might
be it's speculative interest. IN respect to the
civil condition and Liberties of colored per-
sons within the protection of this State, there
was nothing to justify postponing the hear
ing of suisors who were asking the determi-
nation Of substantial rights in real contrc-
yersies. The cause will probably be heard
in the Court of Appeals in about two years.

that Messrs. Bright and Fitch are entitled

REVOLVING Custom.

a recent communication to the Indian Of
fee from the Superintendent Of Indian AZ
fairs at San Francisco, reports a strange bot
shocking Custom that prevails among all the
lndiaUs Of California. This is that of bury
ing alive. When q widow dies and leaves
young children, rather than trouble them
selves with their support, the tribe to which
she belonged will bury the orphans alive
The superintendent states that be will use all
his efforts to put an end to this cruel prae-
tice, but it has been impossible to prevent it
entirely as yet, even on the Government re-
serYati0ps.
