i WAsBINer0s, May 18.--Neither our government
nor Lord Napier have accurate informaton concern
ing the recent visita.ions Of American vessels BY
British cruisers Il is supposed that the latter have
exceeded their Instructions, that the published
accounts have been very much exaggerated. II the
transactions are as alleged, it is not believed they
will be justified by Crest Britain Our government
has addressed letter IS Lord Napier, and viii BY
the next steamer forward Instructions to Mr.. Dallas
on the subject The Senate Committee 90 Foreign
Relations which has the matter under consideration,
win further all means necessary to prevent repet-
ton Of such outrages The President viii shortly
send to Congress the few documents in possession Of
the government but not with las reported)sa recon-
n yadatOry message as the facts are not sunclenty
authentic to justify such communication.
The House Cimmittee elections have decided
BY majority 10 favor Of the admission OF the Min
nesota members and will 80 report on Thursday.
The government has not etreeelYed confirmation
Of the late Utah intelligence. There seems little, if
any doubt that Gov Cumming and other federsl
officers have gone to Salt Lake City, judging from
the circumstances that Col Kane, few days pre-
vious had reached Fort Scott after probable inter-
view with Brigham Yong. Kane had no written
instruction. but a letter from the President; in
which he expressed his confidence in their discretion
and ability-that gentleman recommended 70 the
friendly consideration Of those whom the letter
might be shown, or something to that erect II IS
supposed for the Government has heard nothing
FROM Kane. that he had such communication With
Young as induced the latter inv eCumming TO oait
Lake City, with a view to a conference.

mittee is the special order FOR to-mOrroy IN the

rs" The new militia Law passed by the last leg
lature Of Pennsylvania requirers every able bodied
man, between the ages of eighteen and forty five
years with some specified exceptions to be subject,
10 military duty. He is to provide himself with the
ueoe. ny equipments under the penalty of fine of
one dollar for non performance if resident of the
rural districts, and one dollar and fifty cents if
living in q ciy--the fund thus raised to be appro-
priated to the support of the "enlistened and
equipped " militia men. The militia enrolment is
entirely dispensed WITH and all volunteer companies
paradiug are allowed for every person on parade
each day, not exceeding six times during the year,
one dollar and fifty cents per diem out of the fund
In addition to this the commanding officer Of a re-
giment may order out the companies composing it
for al encampment parade, not exceeding six days.
during each year These provisions are intend
ed as an inducement to young men who desire to
gain knowledge of military duty, but cannot af-
ford to lose the time which gratuitous parades ne
cessarily require The new law will suit the citi-
soldiers very well, AID go far to increase the
military spirit throughout the state.

Ia We to-day present ourseh TO the readers Of
the UNION AND AMEuCAE. as one Of lis Editors.
In assuming this responsible position can offer
no claim to the confidence Of our political friends,
except sincere devotion to the principles Of the
Democratic party and fidelity to its interests.
We enter upon our duties hoping that We may be
able to serve, though we fail to satisfy the party,
and determined to do all that earnest effort and IN
renting zeal can accomplish to maintain the high
character Of the paper and extend its influence and
It's usefulness.
We are fortunate in being associated with gentle
men Of experience and ability, whose names at the
head Of the paper, give the best assurance that
it viii continue to merit the confidence and support
Of the community.
II the fame Of our predecessors furnishes any
motive for honorable exertiOn, We have no lack Of
noble examples to stimulate our energies. The pO-
sitiOn which We occupy has been filed by success
sion Of able snd distinguished men, Our
paper claims by right Of Inheritance the name and
hon to sIOfhe two leading Democratic organs Of the
State, both distinguished for series Of brilliant
achievements in the service Of the party.
The "OID UNION is associated with the great
fathers Of our political faith, from whose precepts
it derived its principles; since the earliest peri
cd Of its existence it has maintained those principles
with unyielding consistency.
The "AMERICAE'' under the editorial management
Of the senior of our corps, was no less distinguish
ed for the purity of its political teachings and the
ability with which it enforced them. They have
within the last few years. united their fortunes
under one name, and have been battling ever since
under the same banner and in a common cause
The brilliant victories OfI855, S. and 81, to which
this journal largely contributed, established the
wisdom Of the combination, and proved that the
UNION AND AMERICAN was not unworthy of its high
and honorable lineage.
Under the present arrangement, We trust, the
paper will forfeit none of that confidence to which
its past history entities it, but hope that with its
increasing years it may establish itself still more
firmly in the good opinion Of its readers.

The RAWLINGS OF THE FANATICS This is the way
the New York Independent, Rev. Henry Ward Beech
er's paper, bowls over the passage of the Kansas
Bill:
The central iniquity in this scheme, at which the
I'd prophets would have called upon the heavens to
be astonished and the earth to be afraid with hor
rbe amazement, is the deliberate establishment Of
slavery, in the most heaven defying and infamous
terms The right of property Of human beings is
distinctly affirmed in the Constitution proposed to
be enforced as before and higher than any constiu
tional sanction The right Of property in man is in
fact assumed of the rights Of man; and 1t is
declared that ''the right of any owner of slave to
such slave and its increase is the same and in
vioable as the right of any owner Of any property
whatsoever" Had the terms Of the proposition
been purposely studied to obtain insulting and
daring mode Of affirming the perpetual aud invio-
liable right of slavery as language could contrive, OBJ
viously, no more definite and compact sign could
nave been hit Upon than the use Of the impersOnal
pronoun sits" in reference to the human chattels
the slave and its increase.

acquaintances, when young lady who was desper-
