THE PARIS MIssioN.-The editor of the South,

the following item of intelligence, which, we

~ The report which has created so much
excitement in Congress and throughout the coan-
try, that an American vessel had been fired into
off Pensacola by British vessel and one man
killed, is now believed to be entirely unfounded.
The Secretary OF State telegraphed to Augusta,
Ga, and received an answer that the rumor
could be traced to no authentic source. In ad-
dition to this, the Black Warrior arrived at New
York, brings the gratifying intelligence that the
British officer who acted so oficiously and Of
fensively in searching American vessels at Sagua
Ia Grande has been arrested, by the order of his
commander, and sent to Jamaica for trial. This
proceeding argues favorably for an amicable ad-
justment of the pending difficulties.

THE CEoPs IN YIReINIA.-Fly and Chinch
Bug are said to be committing ravages upon the
wheat in Culpeper. The complaint is pretty
general. They are also complained of in the
neighboring counties of Madison, Rappahannock
and Page. Rust and joint worm have both
made their appearance in the wheat in Amherst.
There is more joint worm in King George at
present than has ever before been seen in that
quarter, and fears are expressed that they will
destroy what the aail left.

Important From Utah.

a QeSpaIcn from Ot Louis on the sra, says
Dates have deem received from Fort Scott to the
9th of May.
Two Mormons had arrived at Fort Leaven-
worth bringing dispatches from Governor Cum
ming for Secretary Cass. The troops were ex-
pected to move towards the Valley about the
end of May.
The expressman states that the commander
of Fort Kearney instructed him to inform Colo,
mel Monroe that Governor Cumming had been
expelled from Salt Lake Oity-that the Mormons
were in arms and determined on resistance-to
request Colonel Monroe to push on the troops
with all possible despatch.
Colonel Hofman's command was met beyond
Fort Laramie, and had encountered three feet of
snow. The Peace Commissioners had passed
Fort Laramie, but were obliged to return to
Platte.
A Washington despatch dated the 4th says =
The Secretary of War to-day received a tele-
graphic despatch from General Harvey, dated
Fort Leavenworth, in which he announces the
arrival of the express, with the report that Gov
ernor Cumming had been driven out of Salt Lake
City,
Whatever may be the condition of affairs there,
the despatch does not obtain full credence, for
the reason that General Harvey merely repeats
the report and does not communicate as from
direct intelligence to himself 1t is believed prob
able that Governor Cumming has returned to
Fort Scott, for it is known to Government when
he left there, contrary to the advice of Colonel
Johnston, that he promised to be back again in
two weeks.

THE OUTRAGEs IN KANsAs.-There have been
frequent reports of fresh outrages in Kansas o.
late. "Montgomery's band," small party Of
highwsymen who rob and levy black mail in
discriminatory, has been particularly distinguish
ed in these lawless enterprises. A correspon-
dent of the Lawrence Republican, writing from
Moneka, Linn county, Kansas, May goth, gives
the following account of the proceedings of an
other party, which, however, seem to us incred
IDLE:
Yesterday party of Pro, Slavery men from
Missouri came into the Trading Post, situated
on the military road leading from Fort Scott to
Fort Leavenworth where it crosses the Usage
river, about three miles from the State line.-
They were not seen till they emerged from the
timber and rode up to the store. Here they
took Mr.. G. W. Andrews and John F. Campbell
prisoners. They then started on the road to-
wards Kansas City. They overlook here MIR.
Stillwel, from Sugar Mound, who was going up
the river for load of provisions. They took
him prisoner, and ordered the others to get into
his wagon and ride. In half mile further they
came to missionary by the name of the Rev.
Charles Read They ordered him into the wag.
on, and dismissed Andrews. They continued
on for two miles and half, when they had ia
ken twelve men.
On arriving at deep ravihe, in q skirt of tim
Der, the commander called halt. The prison
ers were formed into line, about five yards
in advance of the horsemen.
The command was given to "present arms!
Fire" Every man dropped. Four were killed
dead. All but one of the others were badly wound
ed The rufians then wheeled their horses and
galloped off. In few minutes more three of
them returned and searched their victims for mon
very roughly to see if they were dead. Finding
one only slightly wounded, ruffian put revol:
yer to his ear and fired, remarking that he had
always found that the most certain shot he could
make. He took the key of the safe out of Camp
bells pocket, saying, ''there was money in that
safe, and he would come back some night and
get it,"
The ruffian band was led by Brocket, of Fort
Scott, and accompanied by DR.. Hamilton and
others of that place, who have made themselves
notorious for two years past. There were TWEEN.
ty-fve in all, and they were well acquainted
with the men whom they killed, excepting Still
we'll. Eight of them lived in Kansas, and sew.
enteen in Missouri.
The murders were committed yesterday at l
o'clock. The news spread like wild fire over the
country, and before midnight 300 armed mon
had assembled at the Trading Post. Scouts were
sent into Missouri, but no clue could be found to
their retreat. Most of the people in the State
condemned the act, and were willing we should
take them if We could.

THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA.-The
neutral position of the United States in
the war upon Canton was construed into
fear by the Chinese, and, it is said, that
the person sent by our Commissioner to
inform Yeh of the fact, lost his head =
Our ships-of-war are too large to navi-
gate the rivers the only efficient force
is the English gun-boats, and upon them
are the Americans compelled to rely for
protection. Our merchants in China are
mortified at these facts, and feel that our
government owes it to its own dignity, as
well as to the interests of its citizens, to
let the " Flowery Nation" know our
power by practical demonstration Of it.
Mr.. Reed has united with the English
in demanding certain commercial privile-
ges from China, but he is without power
to enforce his demand, or to resent the
insults he has already received from the
Celostials. Yeh is a perfect monster,
who used to have four or five hundred
heads day cut off, sometimes, when he
was Governor-seyeral Englishmen who
fell into his hands he shut up in cage,
and starved them to death. If the Uni
ted States would send out force OF
small craft to assist in bringing the long
queues to their senses, and the four
great nations combine to visit Pekin,
the trade of the East would secure pro.
lection and advantages heretofore I'M
known. - Boston Post :.

Its paci6cation worthy of the last eff

his ardent patriotism, his devotion to the
Union, his disregard of self, his coura-
geous self-reliance, all appear in their
midday force and splendor 1t was not
the blaze of the setting sun, but the

In these flashes of courage and patriot

the impersonation of Union, ana ready
to be laid victim on its altar"
