AN INTERNATIONAL "AFFAIR."-It is stated
that Mr., Roebuck, the leader of the Liberal
party in the English House of Commons, has
received challenge from the Count de Signy,
an officer of the French army, for the disre-
spectful language which the former used in re-
gard to the Emperor and people of France. Mr..
Roebuck, in his speech on the Conspiracy to
Murder Bill' raked up some scraps of history,
and showed Louis Napoleon up as being at one
time alder and abetter, and at present the pro-
teetor of assassus. 1t is not surprising that
the lackeys of the Emperor should feel agrieved
at the Englshmsn's language.

Letter rrnm Utah.

The following letter from Utah Territory, re-
creek, has been handed us for publication. The
writer, we are informed has resided for some
time in this county, and is probably known to
many of cur readers Some idea can be form
ed from it, Of the feelings which actuate the
Mormon Masses and how completely they are
made the dupes of their leaders, and infatuated
with their religious creed. If they should be so
fool-hardy as to resist the U. S. troops, they
may find to their cost that 'the Lord invariably
assists the heavy battalions."
BEAVER Cry, Utah 7. March, 2l, 1858.
DEAR SIR Il embrace the present opportu-
nifty of sending few lines to you. to be mailed
at San Bernardino, hoping that this paper may
find you. We are all well, in good health and
spirits, and are yet making living, though not
seasoned with as many delcacies as in CalifOr-
MIA, or the States but we have peace aud the
peaceable fruits Of the spirit of the Lord, which
makes it altogether, desirable place to live
and if l had my daughter with me, our happi-
NJ IS would be complete, 80 far as mortal being
can be- l do know that this is the Kingdom OF
God, and will eventually triumph over all 9th
er Kingdoms and Nations. We have already
ODeaiucu3 hiluS Buu.
our men have been fired upoH-the most signal
victory that has ever been achieved since the
world began, which is testimony high as the
heavens, proving this to be the Kingdom of God
and that he is at work to redeem his people. and
will do it though all the nations of the earth
should league together against it, this Kingdom
will grow, increase and roll forward until all
Kingdoms and nations are reduced to subjec-
tiOn.
We had a pleasant journey to this place-no
very cold weather-but have had a few days
cold, in this month-find some bad people here,
but the major part are trying to do good. We
are all soldiers, and drill frequently-have en-
tirely new tactics, so that those who come
against us, will not know how to fight us; and
we are prepared to despoi and conquer from
1000 to 100000 or more, that may come up to
fight us. The plans are so completely laid,
that but few, if any, will ever return. We ex-
peet that men aud women, will be deserving
from us every year, as was the case in the rev.
olutionary struggle, but it will avail but little.
|. Please write to me soon and let me know all
about Nevada, and the people, and my old ac-
quaintanccs there, and especially H+F' M"''.
Direct your letters to Parowan city Utah Ter
rtory Paper and pens are very scarce here,
and also books and clothing, shoes, thread,
needles, ETC.; as also groceries are hardly to be
had; cooking utensils, cutlery, and dishes arc
scarce indeed.

REPORTED MURDER OF JOE CHAMBERS AND
GooDRIcH.-M Joseph Clark, who has recently
been on a hunting excursion on the Coast
Range of Mountains, informs us, that while at
Cachville, intelligence was brought there, that
Old Joe Chambers and Bishop Goodrich, well
known citizens of Nevada, were murdered about
the first of April somewhere in the southern
part of the State. Chambers and Goodrich
started south some time ago for the purpose of
purchasing cattle, and it is reported that they
had about S1500O in their possession when
they were murdered. The men who brought
the stock business, and it seems they had known
the murdered men. Itappears that Spaniard
came to the place where Chambers and Good
rich were camped, and claimed horse which
they had purchased few days before. After
some words they concluded to give up the horse
rather than have any difficulty. The Spaniard
took the horse and left; but returned shortly
after with number of other Spaniards, who
murdered and robbed the unfortunate men.
Such is the substance of the story which was
brought to Cachville, aud Mr.. Clark informs us
that the same report was current in Nicholas,
in both of which places Chambers is we'll known.
Mr.. Chambers has resided in Nevada since 1850,
and carried on the business of butcher. and
for the past few years Goodrich has been con-
nected with him as partner. Chambers was
known to be wealthy, and he undoubtedly had
considerable money with him.

A Word About RefJrm.

MEssRs. EDIToRs:-l do not possess the rcqui-
site qualifications for u reiOrIner nor IL 1t my
expectation, wish or intention to appear us
such. Men regard women US fools or rs the
next thing to them, nor are they very far from
u correct estimate. Women are not fools. but
they are wise in follics. Change their study
and employment and they would he equally sue
ccssful in anything else. They have some du-
ties whose calls are imperative, which neccssa-
rily occupy rs much time Us should be spared
from the cultivation 0f the mind and heart
The Improvement Of these latter, however, is
pushed aside for the more seductive demands
Of fashion, as if each woman regarded herself
as the only one Of her kind, and that she either
should or would prepare herself rs universal
divinity. She can never realize, as the world
goes, that she mdy have but one true adnirer,
and that lie must bc un everyday friend, to
look ut her in O calico dress, and that some
times greasy.
These false ideas are cultivated from the era

girl in her pink and blue, and the Miss in her
silks and satins, each Straining every energy
to Outdo the other. Woe TO the unfortunate
orphan who has neither the purse and protec-
ton of the father,n nor the watchful eye and gui-
ding counsel Of the mother. Who shall say
what a fine bonnet or rich dress may cost?
Pity the offspring of poverty, who tolls day
and night for what is made TO aprear 20 her

self unsuccessful in cclpSing those more able
than herself, who shall read the bitterness that
springs up in her soul,-envy, hatred aud sus-
piciOn.
Struggle and toll. toll and struggle as though
there were q standard ~ attain, goal TO gam.
But like the far less arduOus hill Ot science, one
summit attained il brings other heights to view,
even more inaccessible than the first. The
moderately we'll off man, is harrassed with
store bills his home comforts neglected, his
daughters Aippant and frivolous, ungratetulfor
what they have, because they cannot obtain
more. They have no time for household hap
pincss, for they are toiling early and late to
deck themselves with some tri0ing fippery
that passes with the hour. Cannot something
be d0ney Can anything be doney ask sug-
gcstively-Fask dOubhngly. Can Fashion, the
great dragon, be overcome, or can he be bridled
and harnessed to different car? Let il be the
fashion to be good and wise; change the ambi::
ton Of the sex, and they will not be fools, and
dolls and Hippery. How this might be done l
will venture ere long to suggest.
