GENERAL Scorr AND THE MoRNoSs.--It is re-
ported that General Scott, probably by the
next steamer, will depart for California to
superintend an army movement from the West
ern side of the Continent against the Mormons.
We do not believe this report, simply because
General Scott can better superintend the pro-
jected army movement at Washington or New
York than at San Francisco. We presume that
between him and the Secretary of War the plan
and the details of the next campaign against
the refractory polygamists of the Great Salt
Lake will be all arranged before anything is
actively undertaken And in reference to this
projected campaign we would suggest to the
Secretary Of War and the Gereralin- Chief that
IL would be better to raise volunteers for this
particular service than to increase the regular
army to the number of troops that will be re-
quired.
The proposed increase Of the regular army
will be a comparatively expensive plan, and
slow and limited in its capacities. On the
other hand the volunteer system may be 20 ar
ranged as to comprehend two great Objects
first, the expulsion of the Mormons or the Nor
mon hierarchy; and secondly, the colonization
of Utah Territory with new school Of settlers.
From the western side of the Mississippi Valley
twenty thousand volunteers for this service
could be raised upon notice of sixty days; and
In two weeks time volunteer force II ten
thousand men could be raised in California, and
such men for the deserts, plains and mountains,
as soldiers or settlers, as only California can
produce.
A volunteer movement Of this sort. coupled
with liberal system Of land grants TO actual
settlers of the corps in Utah, would make short
and decisive work Of Mormon poygamy. In
this connection, If the War Department could
secure an early importation of five hun
bred or thousand camels, with view
TO their transportation and reproduction in
Utah and New Mexico, new and most
mineral resources of those regions, and for the
rapid settlement of the same, would be secured.
TO say nothing Of the value of the camel in the
business of army transportation.
We earnestly invoke the attention of the
Secretary Of War and General Scott TO these
suggestions Volunteers and actual settlers
should make up the next army for Utah, and
the camels should net be forgotten. Every
beast of this kind imported, TO the number of
ten thousand, may be made to pay a profit to
the government, while their services in our
western plains and deserts, in the work Of colon
ization and commerce, would soon extend in
value TO thousands and millions Of dollars

Whether the constitutionality of this act has

wiseacres of last session. At all events, it may

Tue PROPOSED STAY LAW N THE STATE
SENATE.-A certain Mr.. Noxon, of the State
Senate, has thought to signalze his zeal for the
popular good by the introduction of project
of stay laws in regard to the sale of property
under foreclosure Of bond and mortgage. Now.
we have no objection TO the mans desire to OBJ
tain notoriety, but we do object to his attempt
ing to pass off this new absurdity as possible
thing, even we're IL desirable. The constitution
provides that ca post tacto laws shall be enact
ed. Therefore, Mr.. Noxons plan can have no
effect upon contracts already entered into, or
such as may be entered into before his proposed
law shall have gone through all the forms of
legislation. But were il possible TO enact the
proposed law, its effects would be fatal 10 the
very interests the mover proposes to attain.
Who would invest his money in the purchase of
house or store offered for sale under fore
closure if his title 10 il n to remain incomplete

do not present themselves when property Is
offered for sale, what becomes of Its value? IL
must most surely sink In value till IL comes
down to price so low as to serve as an Offset
to the Disadvantages which the proposed new
law impose on the purchase. Noris this the
only fatal consequence of the enactment sug-
gested. Everybody is deeply interested in the
security Of bonds and mortgages. Our cities

that scheme so crude and suicidal will ever
be entertained for moment by the enlightened
Legislature Of the State. The Hon Mr.. Noxon
bubble only requires to be pricked and its
beautiful proportions and coors at once dis
appear.
II Is possible that some temporary relief
might be afforded by such law to those who
are now suffering from the financial pressure,
by preventing their property from being sacri-

War between Spain and MexicO-The Only
Hope FOR that Republic.

The state OF the pending questions between
MEXICO and Spain begins to look as though
war would grow out of them, and our Wash
ington correspondent informs us that such re-
suit is confidently anticipated there.
AT the present moment a war with Spain
would be one of the best things that could hap
pen to Mexico if it is not in fact the only event
that can save the republic from universal
anarchy. No small share of her present inter
nal discussions is owing to the direct and indi-
rect Vaccinations of the Spanish government,
which steadily contemplates the putting Of
Spanish prince on the throne of Mexico Even
President Comonfort has been approached by
European agents on the subject; and at the
present moment ii is stated, in we'll informed
quarters, that the scheme now being arranged
between Santa Anna and the Spanish govern
ment is, that the exPresdent shall be made
Emperor of Mexico by the direct assistance of
the Spanish army, and having only an idiot
son. who could not succeed to the crown, shall
adopt as his heir one of the Spanish Bourbon
princes. To this scheme the Mexican church
lends its assistance, and one of its principal
organs in Mexico proposes already an immediate
return TO Spanish colonial rule.
In view of the present state of parties in
Mexico the resort to foreign war seems to he
the only resource of the government. Such an
event would unite all parties there in support
of the administration. Let President Comon-
fort come out with bold and honest state
ment of grievances; let him call things by their
right names, and, laying the charge Of treason
against the liberties of the nation at the door
of the church, where it belongs, let him pro-
duce the abundant evidences of Spanish compli-
city that are in his possession, and make a
clean breast of the infamous proposals made to
him to sell the freedom of his country to a
European monarch If he will do this, not only
will every patriotic Mexican hasten to his sup
port against the common enemy, but he will
have the moral appreciation of the world for
his course, and material aid to the extent of fifty
thousand men and millions Of money from this
country to preserve republican form of gov
eminent in Mexico.
Should he still continue to vacllate and tenn
porize with the duty that is before him. his fall.
and perhaps the fall Of his country, is inevitable
Spanish intrigues will continue to foster
internal dissension, and support the brigands
now in the field in the name of the church. I'M
til Spanish prince is brought in with the con-
sent of a strong Mexican party, or at best, San
Ia Anna returns to pave the way for one. We
do not hold this to be very distant event.
Unless war is declared with Spain, we expect to
see Santa Anna back in Mexico within the pre-
sent year, and then there will probably arise a
leader in Northern Mexico, who, selling the
elements that Comonfort has abandoned or feared
to use, will become the cynosure of his country
and the depositary of her hopes. The Sierra
Madre may yet be the rampant of Mexican
liberty.
