The Destination Of the NIormons.

1t seems to be generally taken for granted
that the Mormons intend to abandon Salt
Lake Valley on the orening of Spring, and
there is pIesumptive evidence that they mean
to locate themselves in Sonora, province of
Mexico bordering ON California, and which
has been rendered somewhat famous as the
theatre of n less than three abort,ve fillibus-
terlng expeditions during the last lew years
bon, Gen. Walker & Col. Crabbe. Vancou-
yer Island and the Russian possessions have
been named as points to which the MormOns
have directed their attention but tie men,
ton Of these localities is most likely a ruse on
the part Of the Mormons to cover their re-
treat in another direction. 1t is to be doubt
ed whether the British Government would
allow the Saints to locate within its terrific
RIGS, and the Russian possessions are too cold
and sterile for their purpose. Sonora, on
the other hand, invites them strongly. The
soil is good the climate delightful, and, the
native population to sparse and inefficient to
ofier any serious obstacles to their settle
ment. The country is Liable to be overrun
periodically by marauding Indians, but these
the MOrmons would not fear, and could east
ly manage. The native inhabitants, who are
in constant danger of pilage and murder at
the hands of the savages, would welcome the
Mormons as their protectors, and might pos
sibly be induced to turn Mormons themselves.
1t is suggested by contemporary that Brig
ham Young has an eye to the future con-
quest of the whole country, as the future scat
of the Mormon kingdom. With his ten or
fifteen thousond we'll disciplined troops, it
has been suggested that he might almost at
once take possession of the "hals of the Mon
tezumas.' 1t is certain, at all events, thst
he has planted line of Mormon settlements
in the valleys all the way from Salt Lake
Valley to near the borders of Sonora, so that
in case the new hegira should be in that d.
rection, there will be convenient places for
rest and refreshment. A Who'll sale emigra-
ton of this character would settle the whole
Mormon difficulty on both sides, unless it
should happen that by and by we should wish
to 'annex" Sonora.-Ch icago Press

Heroic Conduct of q Lady.

About one o'clock this morning. the honse
Of DR.. Isaac Hodges, in Ashland, Middlescx
County, was broken into by thieves, who en-
braced an opportunity soon after the Doctor
had been called from home upon q prOfes
sonal visit. The rogues, supposed to be two
or three in number, thoroughly ralisackcd
the lower part of the house, and had Collect
ed together considerable amount of property
ready for removal. when their operations
were overheard by Mrs. Hodges, who was
alone in her chamber adjoining The apartment
where her three children were sleeping.
From the room the lady in firm voice
inquired of the intruders below, "What is
wanted there 2'-but receiving no answer,
she repeated the iEquiryir a moment or two,
when villain who was making his way up
sta re-, responded, "Shut mp, or III blow pour
brains out !" Mrs. Hodges. nerved with an
energy equal to her danger, instantly seized
gun standing behind her door, and loaded
with shot, and discharged it at the rascal he
fore he had reached the top of the stars. He
immediately cried out, % my Gudl' and
retreated from the house, leaving traces of
blood upon the stairs and floor, and for some
distance on the ground outside.
1t is supposed the fell w must have been
shot directly in the face. and may or may not
have been fatally injured; hut it evi,'e itly

Our Mission to China.

From letters recently received in this city
we learn that the Minnesota arrived at the
Cape of Good Hope on the 7th of Septem-
Der, after passage Of &c days from the Ches
apeake. The voyage was rather long, be-
cause the weather was unusually tranqu L.
During the 1900 miles the ship had sailed
she had encountered but one guIe of wind
All on board were we'll, and no casualty had
occurred except the loss Of an unfc rtunate
sailor who fell from the mainyard. The coal
ing ship, sent out in advance, was waiting
the arrival of the Minnesota, and taking on
board her supply it was supposed would oc.
cupy until about the Goth Of the month.
Mr.. Reed, the Minister to China, and all
the members of his suite, had enjoyed excel
lent health throughout the voyage. At the
time the letters to which We have referred
were written, he was living on shore at Cape
Town, where he hal received the kIndest at
tentiuns from everybody in and out Of au-
thority. The Minnesota was an object of
great interest and admiration at the Cape, as
no ship comparable to her had ever before
been seen there. There were no troops at
the Cape, the Governor having despatched
them all to India-Phila. ". american, Dec

Walkers Letter of Resignation.

We publish to-day the material parts of
Walkers letter res'gning the Governorship of
Kansas. From his stand point on dogma
that majority may make a minority slaves,
and that that is self:government, the letter is
certainly we'll seasoned an conclusive docu-
ment though mixed up with much that is
is characteristic of the man-able but wordy
and egutistjc to the last degree. We have
omitted at least column and half Of mere
verbal repetitions.
We are of the opinion of the New York
Eoening Post, that the Governor weakens
himself by the multitude of words and
that brief comment upon single para
graph in his remarkably clear and explicit
instructions would have served him better
than all the windy verbiage of which he has
been delivered. This is the paragraph to
which the Post refers
"When such Constitution shall be sub.
mitted to he people of the Territory, they
must be protected IN the exercise of their
right of voting for OF aga ,nst that instrument,
and the fair expression of the popular will
must not lie interrupted by fraud OF violence.
I repeat, then, as by clear conviction, that
unless the Convention submit the Constitu-
ton to the vote of all the actual resident set
Ter. of Kansas and the election be fairly and
Justly conducted the Constitution will be and
ought to be rejected by Congress"
Bnt the & vernon works as a prosecutive
candidate for the Presidency, and Of course,
labors to make consistent and acceptable
record. Such as it is, We commend it TO our
readers, not however, as Republican doctrine
by any means, but as q swift witness against
the ingrained bad-faith AMI wretched dnplici-
ty of the President now in powe:.-Chicago

Douglas and Bigler.

That the friends of the Administration
should day after day set Bigler up expressly
for the fun of seeing Douglas knock him
down, is evidence that they are using him rs
the Spanish bulIfghters use the red cloak
with which they excite the rage of their VIC
tim before killing him off by the assaults of
their experienced swordsmen. The service
which the stupid Pennsylvania is made to
perform is not fattering to his ability, nor
does it promise a great reward because,
when the fight really begins, he will be toss
ed aside, if not, in the furious melee, trampled
under foot. 1t is necessary, however, as it
keeps the lockers on in good humor, and by
exciting their expectations and warming their
blood, prepares them for vociferous applause
when his principals step into tie ring This
game cannot long continue, because there is
not enough Of it to keep the interest from
tagging; Bigler's little rag is not skilfully
shaken, and he has not agility to avoid the
horns upoh which he is inevitably caught
The cries for Hunter, Mason, Toombs, Bright,
Davis-the matadores who have been chosen
to give the Illinoisan the coup de grace-are
heard ascending from the benches and the
Administration must either put them in place
and let the fight go on, or the audience will
retire.-Chicago Tribune.

Bread Baking Oh a Large Scale.

The following article relates to the man,
moth bakery just started in Philadelphia:
The Pennsylvania Farina Company, char
tered iy the Legislature May 18th, 1857,
will soon put in operation its mammoth me
cllancal bake y. ut Broad aud Vine streets.
The capital stock is 100000. The Com
pany is authorized to make from grain, meal !,
-four or other iarinaceous substances, paste,
sizing and grits, farina. and other articles of
food, and to transport and vend the same.
The ovens have capacity for baking 800
barrels of -four per day, into bread. The
foundations for the ovens are built in the
basement, and extend through the first and
second stories. They are supplied with 70.
tat;ng railroads. a..d after the dough placed
IN the ovens on the first flnor, it pas c<
through, and the bread h taken out in 2G
minutes, on the second four.
So Wien the dough is put in from the Sec
ond floor it comes out baked on the e rst.-
The ovens are heated with coal.
The Company intend distributing the
bread several times a day to stations in iii =
ferent parts OF the city, and estab shing as
many stations as the wants Of the communi.
ty demand. Three kin is Of bread will bc
baked, TO suit purchasers, and will all be sold
by weight. The Company will commence
operations some time this month.

was asked of German farmer in Pennsyl-
vania.
'No-my eldest son learned to write, and
he forged my NAME"
The reasoning of the farmer was just, if
learning to write be the whole education.
The folly of the German farmer in his
deduction is illustrated by fact or two in
Minnesota:

forged the returns of votes in Holmes City,
Renno, St. Vincent, Oak Lake, Mansfield,

therefore, to say that We should have no more
elections because the Democracy in these in
stances committed the crime of forging re-
turns?

Mr., MOrrili's Land Bill.
Of the Evening" Post.

Incredible as IL may seem, there is actual.
Iy prospect that the Old States arc going to
81 are in the distribution OF public lands. Mr.
Morrill, OF Vermont introduced bill today
providing cor Q distribution of public lands to
the several States for the purtose Of estab
fishing Agricultural Colleges, giving twenty
thousand acres for each Presidential Elcctor
TO every State. Those States which have no
puhIie Isnds in their boundaries will receive
land scrip, WHICH cannot be located in any
other State, but may he 50 iec4tei; by any in
divIdual purchasing the scrip. The interest
Of the fund must be devoted to the mainten-
ance Of Agricultural Colleges, and to nothing
else. A limited amount can be appropriated
to the purchase of model farms, but not to
the erection of buildings. Every State which
accepts the trust must bind itself to protect
it against contingencies.
There are some four hundred colleges ofthis
character IN Europe, sustained and conducted
wholly or in part by Government, AMI de-
sire to follow theirexample seems to have
awakened simultaneously in different States.
The Agricultural College In Michigan was
the first one established on this Continent,
and is now in very success;::.. and useful OPP
Grafton, with more than one hundred students.
There have been some organized in New
York, Pennsylvania Maryland. and will be
opened in New York and Pennsylvania next
year. Virginia has also taken some steps
towards establishing one IN the Old Domin-
ion.
A memorial was presented to the last Con-
gress by WashburDe Of Illinois, asking for On
act like this of Mr.. Morrill's. Michigan has
asked for an appropriation of lands for her
college.
Prodigal grants oflands have been made to
railroads in the new States and to those States
themselves, but with the exception of the
grant of lands to support the INDECENT Insane,
vetoed by fierce, believe that this bill is
the only one for an equitable and comprehen-
sive distribution to all the States IN proper
ton to their population.

WASHINGTON GUsstp.
g correspondent OF the New York Post

The correspondent OF the New York Post
writes
Tue resolution of Mr.. Trumbul, for in
formation OF all the communications from tue
executive officers Of Kansas t" the PRESIDENT,
passed the Senate after some debate. IL Is
mure comprehensive than the first one intro.
dnced, and is calculated to bring to light all
the recent official transactions relating TO the
events in the Territory.
The course Of Mr.. Pugh, who advocated
comprehensive resolution, and his assertion
in the debae upon the committees, that ne
was not satisfied with the construction oil
them, and had opposed it in another place
the cause-have q peculiar significance ut
this time.
The New York Tribune Of Dec. 22d says {:
In tho Senate yesterday, Nc. Bisler bad
the temqrity a second time to defend the Le-
compton swindle, arraign Senator Douglas
for inconsistency, and insinuate that he was
| currying favor with the Republicans. Mr..
Douglas replied in such wise that in the run
ming debate which followed, Mr.. Bigler was
brought to his marrow bones more than once.
Mr.. Bigler had said that he knew the Le-
compton fraud to be an Administration
measure, from the Message and from "other
sources or information" When pressed to
say what those "other sources were, he as
good as backed out from his original posi-
ton He was forced to disclaim any inten'
| ton to read Mr. Douglas out of the party,
and finally he declined to protect the discus
sion. Mr.. Biger will hardly care to tackle
the "Little Giant" again.
| A Washington dispatch to the New York
Herald, states that Nicholson is to be re-
called to the editorship of the Union. and
that the reply to Senator Douglas, published
in that paper of Sunday, was written by him.
The President is rapidly certifying himself
with material from the sunny side of Mason
and Dixon's line. In the present tremend-
Gus crisis, he is afraid of his Northern
friends.
