Brigham Young and the Mormon War.

The news from Utah, and a recent propo-
sition by the Delegate in Congress from that
Territory, begin to look like Brigham, des-
pite all his clustering and bravado, is about
to back down from a fight with the q. S.
troops. We publish in another column, a
dispatch, going toshow that the Mormon del
egate at Washington has proposed to end
the war by selling out Salt Lake city. That
report is now confirmed, with the simple diff
ference that the President refused to treat
until he was assured that DIR. Bernhisel real
ly acted from instructions. At any rate, the
prophet is badly scared, and is showing the
white feather quite ridl~culously.
We have the full particulars of an embas
sy sent to Col. Johnston. In connection Will
his message he sent along a goodly portion o
salt, doubtless thinking that the most accep
table present he could possibly offer; ant
least the Colonel might surmise an intention
topoison himself and troops, he also sent alon
several men to taste it in his presence. Tn
Colonel however, was too old a bird to b
caught with salt. He refused to be concili;
ted on any such grounds, and abruptly bad
the messengers not to trouble him. So niue
for the first effort at diplomacy by Brigham
Young.
The intervention of a third party woul
not be so likely to be snubbed. Besides, b
ligerents may not otherwise be brought
terms. A mediator having no personal grie
ances to redress, must stand between Your
and Government, else no armistice will fc
low. The prophet might have known this
he paid less attention to his wives and mo,
to the study of history and politics. Broth
Bernhisel, if delegated the authority, cou
fix up matters much more expeditiously tn;
Brigham himself, and Just as permanently.

Oxford and its Educational ADVANTAGES


There is no village in the whole country.
North or South, that surpasses Oxford in
point of beauty, or that is possessed of a more
thriving and intelligent population. The as
pect of every thing about the place affords
the ~clearest proof of the industry and enter
prise which characterize its inhabitants-and
the quality of schools is in keeping with its
character in other respects.
There are four schools here Female and
2 Male-and each one presents frst-rate ad-
vantages for the acquisition of an educa-
ton.
Mr.. j. II. Mills is at the head of the Oxford
Female College and is universally acknowl-
edged to be a gentleman of no ordinary quail
ifications for managing school of young la
dies-combining energy, talent, and moral
worth. The public shows its high apprecia-
ton of his ability by a liberal bestowment of
patronage. The Oxford Female Seminary
has been in operation for many years under
the supervision of Mr.. S. L. Venable-an
atfable and intelligent gentleman who needs
no word of commentator to those acquainted
with his method of teaching.
The classical school of Messrs. J.. Ell and Z.
j. Horner has acquired great reputation even
beyond the limits of the "Old North State"
Boys of capacity who attend their school,
necessarily make rapid and thorough progress
by reason of their judicious system of Impair
ting instruction.
Mr.. A. g. Brown, who has been for years
connected with the University of n. G. either
as Tutor or Professor, has also established a
Male school in Oxford. He is justly distin-
guished as a ripe scholar and an able instruc-
tor. Particularly in the classics. His enter
prise is yetin its inception. He contemplates
building up a literary institution on a perma.
nent footing and worthy of public favor. The
laudable objects he has in view, entities him
to a fair share of the patronage of the com
munity. VERITAS.

A Fighting Preacher.

"hen our revolutionary war first broke
ouIand Congress called upon the several
states to furnish regular regiments for the
continental line. Peter Muhlenburg, a
pastor IN the Tenth Legion, mounted his

s'on mat ne was going to the wars, and ex-
horted as many Of them as could raise the
pluck TO follow his example. His words

Peter fought even better than he praved
dis regiment was everywhere, where hard
knocks were going on-at Trenton. at
Princeton, at Brandywine, at Germantown.
at Monmouth, at Yorktown, and Peter was
always at the head of his regiment. So
prominent was he upon such occasions
that with some Of his admirers he obtained
the name ofDeyil Pete, while by the army
generally he was known as the "Fiobting
Parson." His skill seemsto have equalled
his gallantry, for in a short time he became
y General, and was one among the most
highly esteemed of Washington's officers.

a MAI makes none the worse soldier for

Gen. Havelock seems to have been a
man of very much the same build of Gen
Muhlenburg. He was one of the genuine.

"fear-the-Lo d-keep-your-powder-dry"
generation. He preached TO his men-ie
prayed with them-and even baptized them.
On n occasion be was court-martialed
for this offence. An inquiry into the state
