BnIGHiM 1ouNG.-lt seems that Brigham

has dared TO warn Colonel Johnston to depart
with his troops from their present position,
under the penalty of being cut to pieces.

Will send on re-inforccments to the army in

When this Mormon trouble first began, we
recommended that force of fifteen to TWEEN
ty thousand men should be forthwith sent to
chaStiSc the rebels but there were so many
f;ciays. and the force sent at last was so in.
adequate to the emergency, that time has
been given to the Mormons to make all

and discipline their forces and, probably. to
enlist the neighboriog In,lians in their cause.
1t has been stated, that Colonel Johnston will
probably make the attack early this spring
with the force now under his command. We
hope that he will not do so rash an act, as
his defeat would be productive of the most
disastrous consequences. Wehave no apprc-
hcnsion that the Mormons will become the
assalling party-for. however braytly Brig

hurry on the rcinfolc,mcnts as speedily as
possible, that we may have an end put to

TiIE NEW SCHOOL SYSTEM. There
appears to be no great amount OF inter-
est taken in the School Election to be
held on the 9th of May little more
! than two weeks hence. For some of the
Districts there are notices published,
calling meetings to take preliminary
steps in the matter; in others there
seems to be but little attention given to
the subject.
The friends of the Public School Sys-
tenn should see that efficient men are
| elected to the office of School Commits
sloncr. If the system is to he put in
useful operation, the first Board of Com
missloncrs will have to give much earn
est attention to the work, and no man
ought to suffer himself to be elected UNI
less he intends to labor faithfully TO
bring the law into beneficial operation.

of money, and prudent business men

three lakes in Minnesota, comprising the
largest number of those most known. Thou
sands OF others of smaller extent are diStri-
butcd over the surface of the country, and a
great many Of mile OF two in length have
been omitted for a want Of a name. The lar
gcst lakes in the State, according to this
table, are Rcd Lake, in Pcmbina county
thirty miles long by twenty wide; Big Stone
Lake, thirty miles long by three wide Mile
Lac. twenty miles long and fifteen wide and
Lac Traverse, twenty-five miles long by three
wide: and Lcoch Lake, twenty miles long
by eleven wide. Most of the list, however,
are from one and a half to SIX miles long.
and from one to three miles wide. The
water in all these lakes is perfectly pure and
sweet, and they are ali of great beauty Of

country, and lend an air Of romance to the
country.

The writer s'Talbot" in tn,
Cecil Democrat of last week, professedly
Of Easton, is scarcely worthy of at
tcntion SO far as his comments in re GARD
to this paper are concerned. He mis-
quotes entirely the language we used,
as any one knows who has read what
has been said on both sides. For
instance, he writes thus: "1hc Cecil
Wing says that the communication sign
ed American copied by (The Democrat
from the Easton Star, was written by "a
Locofoco and signed American. But, Sir,
this is false" &c. The Wing never said
any such thing and the thing that's false
about it is the writer's assertion that il
did. Neither did the Wing say that I" the
constitution prohibited the Legislature"
&c it only said such was the argu-
mcnt of many legislators from the West
crn Shore, and if this {" Talbot" does
not know such to have been the fact he
is too ignorant to be writing on the
question.

A DELICATE QUEsTIoN.-A legal question
oil delicate nature is now exciting eXuaordi
nary interest in Wcst-phalin viz, whether
husband has right to open his wifr's let
tiers. The question arose out of a suit for
divorce, instituted by the husband, in which
he obtained decree: but the conclusive
piece Of evidence was & letter from the Lotha-
rio, addressed to the wife, and the contents of
which would have never been known had not
the husband been so ungallant as to break the
seal. The divorced wife at once prosecuted
him for opening the letter, and the tribunal
of Unnc has decided that he was was wrong,
and has sentenced him to line Of ten tha-
ltrs. An appeal is pending, the result of
which is anxiously watched by the public.

HE EASTERN SHORE Cosy ENrI0N.-
An Easton correspondent Of the Balti-
more Sun, dating his letter on Tuesday
says that the representatives to the East
crn Shore Convention from Cecil, &C., had
already arrived. Cecil sent no repre-
sentatIvcs to that convention, and if any
man from Cecil goes there it will be only
to represent himself. We shall wait
with some interest to see what such
person does or says, as Indicating the
voice of Cecil county.
Cecil county has far greater interest
iii amy claim the Eastern Shore has on
the Treasury of the State, than Talbot
county has her white population is
more than double that Of Talbot county:
she pays state taxes on more than seven
and half millions, while Talbot pays on
less than five millions; therefore, when
Cecil county says it will not be of adj
vantage to her interests, as a claimant
against the State, to send delegates to Il
convention at Easton, she is not to be
called to account by Talbot county.
We beg to think here that we know as
much about our rights and how to nain-
tain them as the people Of Talbot county
do as to their rights. There is then to
be no complaint against this county for
refusing to join in this movement. Let
Talbot county attend to hcl own bust
ness in her own way and let Cecil have
leave to think differently upon a sub
ject in which she has more than equal
interest.
Since writing the above we OBJ
serve that Milton Y Kidd, Es1r., was
present at the Easton Convention; he
seems to have been the only person there
from Cecil. 1t appears the meeting
determined that each county should
have an equal vote on the questions
which came before it. This will, most
likely, be taken as a REPUTATION of the
ground we took in tho meeting here last
week. We have to say that with Mr..
Kidd therc---who has no shadow OF
right to vote for this county, aud who
will act with unbounded presumption ii
he attempts to do so--thc case is very
different from what it would have been
if the meeting here had sent delegation
entertaining the same views with the
majority of the meeting, which would
have been antagonistical to the views OF
| the men of Easton and of Col. Kidd.
The convention passed resolutions in
favor of an extra session to act on the
Eastern Shore claim.
