SENATOR Brown has written TO the New
York Herald denying the statement of that
Journal and the Tribune, that he declined con-
tinuing his late speech upon the Kansas ques-
ton because disposed to abandon his position
in favor of the admission of the Territory as a
State into the Union. He says he prefers dis
cussing the question legitimately; that is, on
the direct proposition itself, which must soon
come up, to its discussion on an abstract pro-
position to refer and print the Message and
hence his declension. He declares that had
those journals attributed his declension to pro-
coed with his speech to the fact that he consid-
ers the question virtually settled in favor Of
his own views of the fitness of things, they
would have been much nearer the mark.
The SOUTH ON WILLIAM WALKER.-We are
glad to perceive that sober second thought is
indicating itself-its proverbal wisdom-in
the altered tone of the great mass of the South,
ern press, with reference to the flibuster
Walker and his schemes of murder, arson and
robbery in Central America. Our Southern
exchanges of all parties are now reaching us
graced with unstinted praise of the views Of
the Presidents late message on the subject
and indignant comments upon the efforts Of
those mixed up with Walkers schemes to keep
up the pretence that the interests of the South
are involved in the success of his application
of the "higher law theory.
ARMY ORnERs.-The War Department has
just issued the following " General Orders, No
A." respecting the re-inforcements for the army
in Utah, in addition to those designated in
General Orders No. I, of the Sth instant:
1. b, and X, Companies of the I'd Regiment OF
Dragons, now at Fort Leavenworth;
2. Sixty-four enlisted men of Company A. En-.
be commanded by LIST Lieutenant Andrew Don.
elson, Corps of Engineers, with Brevet Cd Lieu
tentant Edward r. Alexander, of the same corps
as subaltern.
The Engineer Department will give the neces.
sary orders to put this detachment in position, al
Fort Leavenworth, in good time and will i'm
mediately detail an officer of the corps for duty
on the staff Of the Officer Commanding the Army
Of Utah.
SENATOR REID, of n. c., who has been sick
in Richmond for a fortnight, has 50 far recov-
cred as to be making preparations to return
shortly to Washington. His family are with
him.
The WEATHER.-The following report of the
weather for this morning is made from the Morse
Telegraph line to the Smithsonian Institution
The time of observation is about O'Clock a. IN .

IHE CAsEoF SNITHy-DistTict Attorney Manu.
IN his opening argument argument for the Com
monwealth, at Philadelphia, OH Saturday, in the
case of Thomas w. Smith, now on trial for the
murder Of MIR. Carter, President of the TaInaaua
Bank, combatted the plea of insanity, but saws
that There has never been case in which nv
duties and my symPathies have been 80 continu-
ally In conflict. l have never prosecuted a man
whom 80 sincerely pitied. The defendant ap-
pears 10 be man of very warm feelings sim
cere friend and devoted husband AS such |
honor him; would that we had more men in the
community like him.
Mr. Thayer, for the defence, who succeeded
Mr. Mann, presented the various points in the
case, especially those which related to the al
legged insanity of the prisoner
The case will probably be given to the jury to-
DAY or Tomorrow David Paul Brown, Esq D., for
the defence, and District Attorney Longhead are
yet to speak
The sympathy for the prisoner is very great and
increasing. The statement Of his sister has had
the effect to deepen this sympathy.

COUNTING THEIR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY
ARE HArcHED.-The New York Tribune is
calculating largely upon the advantages that
have accrued, and are yet destined to accrue
to the Republican party organiza ton from the
late political labors of Messrs r. j. Walker.
and 3. a. Douglas. That journal proclaims,
In effect, that the upshot of their opposition to
the policy OF the national Executive and the
democracy upon the question of the acce ptance
OF the Lecompton Constitution by Congress. is
70 De the election Of the simon pure Republi-
can party Presidential nominee in 1860. What
Its silly prOgnostication is worth, may be INDEED
from the fact that it at the same time declares
that the South in Congress has abandoned the
ldea OF seeking to compass the admission of
Kansas into the Union as State with that Con-
sutution; Tor which assertion there is no shadow
oil foundation in truth, whatever. While its
facts are so baseless there is little fear that its
fancy will prove more truthful.
The THEATRE.-To-night Mr. Dion Bourci-
cault plays Sir Charles Coldstream, in his own
great comedy, The Used Up Man" The
piece Is one OF the few comedies Of modern
'lines ranking with the gems, which saw the
