THE MORMON WAR.-Ths communication OF the
Secretary of War in regard TO the amount necss-
sary for the subsistence of the troops in Utah
show that tho Mormon war is likely to be an ex-
pensive affair. The estimate for subsistence alone
for comparatively short period is 81 ,222 o0o and
the expenditure through the Quartermaster's de-
partment will be- much larger The subject is one
upon which Congress cannot safely defer action.

ANOTHER SLAVE CASE DECIDEp.-The Chicago
Times reports case just decided by the Supreme
Court of Illinois:
A citizen of Missouri brought q suit against the
Illinois Central Railroad in trover, for slave who
taking passage on the cars of that company was
taken to Chicago and beyond the possession of the
owner. The court below sustained demurrer to
the declaration, and the case argued before
the Supreme Court, which reaiirms the doctrine
of the Supreme Court of the United States in the
Dred Scott case, that the status of negro de-
pends upon the laws of the State in which the
case Is determined, and not upon the laws of the
State from which he may come. The laws OF Mis-
souri, do not follow aud determine the status of
negro while he is in Illinois, do the laws of
Illinois follow negro to Missouri and determine
his condition there.
The AMERICAN MINISTER IN CHINA.-A letter, da-
ted on board the U. S. steamer San Jacinto, Hong
Kong, Nov. Is, says:
Mr.. Reed and suite are quartered on the ship
He was received very cordially by the authorities
and people here, and has been called upon by Lord
Elgin, Sir Jon Bowring, Admiral Seymour and
other diguitaries. Numerous military honors have
been showered upon him for awhile the amphi-
theatre formed by the mountains around Hong
Kong smoked like battle field in consequence of
powder burnt in his honor. and the cir has been
made musical by the thunders of artillery echoing
amongst the rug gged rocks of the lofty hills which
environ this bay.
l find that the prevalent sentiment amongst
Englishmen here is that we are still to take part
and parcel with them. Whether they ground that
opinion upon Mr.. Reeds expressed opinions here,
where it is patronizing assumption of theirs /
am unable to say. Time, and perhaps Mr.. Reed,
will open their eyes to gaze OH the beatifc glories
of their mistake.

Mormon Affairs.

Notwithstanding the position of defiance
still maintained by the Mormons, it is stated
that the President has despatched Maj. Ben.
McCulloch and another gentleman as Commits
sioners to negotiate with that refractory people.
At the same time vigorous measures are IN pro-
gress for reinforcing the Army and prosecuting
war. The Washington correspondent OF the
Richmond Wing, abiding to the matter, says;
Look at it. Five, ten, fifteen, and probably
twenty millions of dollars are expended in In
timidating rebellious people with an army the
army arrives in the rebellious territory half often
millions are already expended, and then, and
not till then, it occurs to us to see what comms,
sioners can do It's bad plan to draw pistol
ON man unless you intend certainly to hire it.
If the man is q coward, there is no need OF the
pistol. If he is bully, there is no need OF It,
especially when he knows you are stronger than
himself. If he is brave man, and sees you
hesitating, pop your pistol has gone ott-he has
snatched it away from you, and instead OF shoot
ing him, be has shot you. 1t is much 10 oe
feared we are carrying the Mormons stics
with which to break our OVID heads. They are
in condition to annihilate our army, and pos
sess themselves of its arms and ammunition, ]
they exercise proper courage and discretlon.-
We have not reached the beginning OF the enc
of this business"

Legislative neliuauencies.

The Legislature of Virginia at the late session
omitted to pass tax bill and to elect basement
officers" The old tax law, however, remains III
force, and the present Auditor, Treasurer &c.
viii continue in Office until their successors shall
be elected. We have heard no reason assigned
for the first omission, but it is rumored that 'ne
latter was caused by the fact that the dolninah'
party could not agree among themselves upon
the candidates. The State may suffer no actuai
damage by these Legislative delinquencies, but
thew indicate loose and negligent manner Vi
transacting the public business which Is very us
creaitable to the parties responsible for them,
and NAV as precedents, result in positive injury
hereafter. Yet while this is so, the Legislature
ara much more excusable for their omissions
than for some of their commission-the act IN
reference to the Banks, for instance. by the
way. the recklessness with which our lawmakers
pass acts affecting the currency, among the most
complicated and delicate subjects OF legislation
is truly remarkable. 1t is not too much to say
that a majority of the members of the Legislature
are profoundly ignorant on all such questions'-
The ancient Locrians required that whoever pro-
posed new law should appear in the public as
sembly with q rope round his neck, which was
Immediately frightened, if he failed to convince
his feowcitizens of the necessity OF his PROPOSE
tons. If our modern legislators could be SUB,
iected to some such penalty for all unwise and
injurious laws passed by them, we should have
fewer enactments of the kind.

Interfering to prevent the establishment OF pub

fourishing in Washington. Mrs. Senator Gwin
recently gave Fancy Ball, of which the news
papers publish minute descriptions. Mr.. Cling
man appeared as gentleman of the goth GEN.
tury, Mr.. Keitt as Buckingham, &C., while the
ladies, whose names are duly reported, figured
in various characters. The gentlemen mention
ed have acquired a new title to distinction, and
the fair ladies must feel highly fattered at hav-
ing their handsome points described in the pub
lie journals. We have no idea that any fragrant
improperly occurred at the house of Senator
Gwin, but such performances must impair fe-
male delicacy and tend to something worse.

BENTON and Clay.

1t is pleasing to learn that in his last days ool.
Benton did ample justice to the patriotism and
distinguished pnblc services of Clay, from whom
he was for many years separated by bitter parti
IAN feeling Shortly before his death he wrote
to a friend in St. Louis, referring to the Com
promise of 1850, as follows:
"There was real crisis at the time-'a crisis
big with the fate of Rome'-itsp actication wor-
thy of the last efforts of Clay, and in accomplish
ing which his ardent patriotism, his devotion to
the Union, his disregard of self, his courageous
selfreliance, all appeared in their midday force
and splendor. 1t was not the blaze of the set
ting sun, but the MONDAY blaze of that great
luminary. In these flashes OF courage ana pat
riotism. always struck out when The Union was
struck at, he seemed to me to be the imPersons-
ton of Union, and ready to be laid as victim
ON its altar

The Amende.

Soihe months ago we published the name OF
George A. Cotfnan, of Sanders Store, Rock
bridge, in our "Black List" among those sub
scribers to the Spectator" who had left the
country without paying up arrearages. We have
lately received letter from Mr.. Coffman, who
now lives in Illinois, remitting the amount due
US on his subscription and explaining why it was
not paid sooner. 1t appears that Mr.. Q. made
arrangements with his agent in Rockbridge to
settle with us, but he merely notified US to stop
the paper, the subscriber having gone West, and
paid no attention to the account which we i'm
mediately forwarded to him. 1t gives us pleas
ure to perform this act of justice to Mr.. Coffman
He and we were the victims of circumstances"

Col. BRNToN's PRoPERTY.-The Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer says
learn that, although Col. Benton went thro'
the usual formalities of making will, he never
theless died very poor. The creditors of his es-
tate are not likely, however, to press their claims
unpleasantly, and, if a project on foot in refer
ence to certain disposition of his latest literary
labors is carried out, his debts will probably be
paid in full. Every one who had business dealings
with him speaks in the strongest terms of his
Spartan sense of honor and faithfulness to his
engagements, and one secret of his late indefati-
gable abors lies in the fact of his extreme ankle
ty to cancel every pecuniary obligation before
his decease

CHINESE Coolies IN CuBA.-Four cargoes of
coolies. comprising nearly three thousand indi-
viduals, recently arrived at Havana, where they
met with ready sale at from three hundred to
three hundred and seventy-five dollars each, ac-
cording to their sanitary condition on arrival.
Other large shipments are known to be on the
way, and it is stated that orders have been sent
to China for ten thousand to be shipped this
year. A Havana letter-writer says it is aston
ishing to see how these Celestials get hold of
different branches of trade formerly monopo-
lied by Galatians. In the vicinity of Cardenas
many grocery stores are owned by them, while
they completely monopolize the huckstering
business. They are also generally successful in
getting wives, and large numbers have consent
ed to be baptized mainly on this account; 9TH
erwise the church would not grant them the
necessary license.

INp1A-The latest despatch from India shows
that on the 3rd of March, Sir Colin Campbell
seized Dilkoosha, which is about mile to the
east of Lucknow, and that the English batteries
were expected to be ready on the 10th. The
London Times says
"The intelligence now received from India
brings us to the very verge of the catastrophe in
that eventful drama which has absorbed for
months past the attention of half the world
We're it not for the assurance we have obtained
of the result the suspense would be almost too
painful for endurance. Our special correspon-
dent conducts the Commander-in-C Chief to the
brink of the Ganges; our Calcutta dispatches
give us the news from that capital to still la
ter date; and, finally, our kilograms inform US
that the grand advance had been made, that all
the columns are closing in upon Dude by con-
certed marches, and that Sir Colin Campbell,
with an army of 80, 900 infantry, 10, 900 cavalry,
and upwards of 200 guns, is actually standing
within lannon's shot of Lucknow. At this point
the report breaks off, Like the Arabian story
telers, who pause before the critical passage of
their narratives, in order that the interest and
anxiety of their audiences may be heightened to
the utmost, we are forced Involuntary to stop
at this last scene of the spectacle, and to leave
our readers for one more week in expectation OF
the end"
The report that the ex-King ofDelhi had been
convicted and sentenced to transportation for
life was erroneous. His trial had not been COM
pleted.
