eR- From all that we can learn from gen.
temen coming from below, (says the Mem
phis Appeal, 18th inst) the horrors of the
overflow are greatly increasing. The pro-
longed duration of the high water is soften
ing the levees everywhere, and the river is
breaking through at hundreds of places
heretofore considered safe. There are but
few plantations that are not suffering, some
more, some less. Even on those sections of
farms not overlooked, the near proximity of
the water is blasting the crops. The Nlissis-
sippi, indeed, seems inclined to assert her
ancient prerogative and to claim her right of
supremacy over her primitive domain-the
adjacent bottoms. 1t is many long year
since she has thus risen in her highest mai
esty, and when she does 90 down this time,
she will go down with sullen grimace,
taunting man for his puny efforts to fence
her in, and leaving death, dcsolation and de-
struciion on all her shores.

this gold was brought to our office YESTERDAY,
after it had been examined at the Assay Of

been picked mp in Warren county, but in so
small quantity that we should think an in
dustrious man would find more gold in the
fruits OF his labor than in hunting after the
precious metal

"SUNDAY AILs."-Some of our religion.
contemporaries are becoming extravaganza,
bilious over the "Sunday Mails" We
thought when We had defined our position
and taken sides with the "Witness," that the
question would be relieved from the neces-
sity of longer discussion. 1t seems, how.
ever, there are some contumacious "secu-
lar" presses disposed to justify the desecra
ton, going on the ground of public necessi.
ty, and that the government doesn't any
more belong to the Presbyterans than il
does to the Catholics. What audacity, to be
sure!
Should the Postmaster General comply
with the petition, now being circulated, to
stop the "Sunday Mails" we hope he will
require the steamers engaged in carrying
transatlantic mails, to come to anchor wher-
ever in the wide waste of waters they may
happen to be ut twelve o'clock on Saturday
night. 1t might be appropriate, too, TO pass
law requiring sail vessels also to heave
to on Sundays, fur their canvass, md
pipe all hands abaft the manmast TO prayers
Seriously, we are afraid one or two of our
religious contemporaries will make themselves
appear very ridiculous, if not Inconsistent,
before they get through with the special job
they have undertaken. And if they would
allow one of the "seculars", il might be sug-
gested TINT there is n good deal of commend
able work TO do before the Sunday Mails can
be legtimatey reached. We question no
mans religion, piety, or motives--doubt no
ones sincerity or faith, and have n reverential
respect for all things pertaining to sacred Of
fees; but we lack long ways Of believing
that some terrible calamity will come upon
the nation, or that the world is to be damn.
cd incontinently, because the mails are car.
ried on Sundays; and we can't help thinking
that our Christian brethren might more
strongly cXcmpiiy their profession and call
ing than by running out and hallooing at the
top of their voices at every railroad train
that passes on the first day of the week.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT.

MESSAGE FROM The PRESIDENT.
The following is the message TO Congress,
from President Buchanan, accompanied by a
communication from Gov. Cumming, dated
May End:
WASHINGTON, June 10, 1858.
To the Senate and House Of Representatives.:
transmit copy of despatch from Gov.
Cumming to the Secretary of State, dated at
Great Salt Lake City on the End Of May, and
received at the Department of State on yes
terday. From this there is reason to believe
that our difficulties with the Territory of
Utah have terminated, and the reign of the
Constitution and the laws has been restored,
congratulate you on the suspicious event.
lose no time in communicating this lntor-
nation, and in expressing the opinion that
there will be no occasion to make any appro-
priation for the purpose of calling into ser
vice the two regiments of volunteers author
lied by the act Congress, approved on the Sth
of April last, for the purpose of quelling dis
turbances in the Territory of Utah, for the
protection and supply of emigrant trains,
and the suppression Of Indian hostiIi!ies on
the frontier.
am the more gratifed at this satisfacto-
ry intelligence from Utah, because it will
afford some relief to the Treasury, at n time
demanding from us the strictest economy,
and when the question which now arises
upon every new appropriation is whether it
be of character 50 important and urgent ms
to brook no delay, and to justify and require
a loan, and most probably tax, upon the
people to raise the money necessary for lis
payment.
In regard to the regiment Of volunteers
authorized by the same act of Congress to
be called into service for the defence of the
frontiers Of Texas against Indian hostilities,
| desire TO leave this question to Congress,
observing at the same time that, in my opin-
ion, the State can be defended for the pres
ent by the reglar troops, which have not yet
been withdrawn from its limits.

tain his position by imposing the most out.
rageous exaclions upon the foreign popula4
ton, and by restraining the freedom of the
press. Under these circumstances, of course
it ought not TO create any surprise to learn
by the next succeeding arrival, that this pup.
pet Of the Pope of Rome has ceased to reign,
and that Juarez Cor Santa Anna,) by some
new turn of events, has been installed in his
place. Tampico, on the Gulf, and Mazatlan,
on the Pacific, are the only sea ports not in

Mr.Archibald Campbell is the American Com
missioner, and has taken passage for Califor-
MIA. He was employed there the last year
upon the duty, and now returns TO it. The
question which has arisen is us to the title to
the important grodp of islands in or near the
Straits of Fuca, and between Vancouver's
Island and the main land and south of the
parallel of forty-nine. BY the treaty the
I9th parallel is our northern boundary till it
strikes Nancouver's Island, but then it turns
south, giving the whole of that island to
England. The British Government sci up II
claim TO small islands as appurtenances to
the larger ones, while on our side we claim
everything south Of VancOuvcr's Island
When the Oregon treaty was before the SEN
