There is nothing doing in the open mar

The PEACE MISSION To UTAH.-We OBJ
serve that it is proposed to send two com
mlssioners to the Mormon country TO
negotiate peace. The names Of Major Ben
McCulloch. of Texas, and Hon. Lazarus
Powell. United States Senator elect from
Kentucky, are mentioned in connection with
this high duty. But We observe, also, that
the Administration IS not quite resolved up
on sending Them forth. This is well, mas
much as another and a better agency is
already at work in the Utah region. Col
Thomas l.. Kane, of our city, lett fhIladel-
phia early in january, u intcrposv his kind
offices with the MormOns. He went forth
armed with every good intention, and with
sufficient, if not abundant, authority to treat
with that people. Late news from San
Angeles, California, leads Us 20 believe that,
before this writing, he is IN Salt Lake City,
and, with his peculiar ADVANTAGES over all
other men, we cannot doubt that he will 20
far to dssipate any misrepresentation hurt
ful TO both sides. Colonel Name is not q
Mormon, but has won their confidence by
MANY kind acts, and is, perhaps, better
qualified than any other man 10 treat with
them in the present emergency. 1t seems
to us, therefore, that no commission, such
as that suggested in regard to Messrs Nc
Cul'och and Powell. can do any good, but
will only interfere with Col. kaues noble
errand; and we are glad that it is proposed
10 abandon any interference with his p!.iIan-
thropic purpose hiLddel phta Pres, l6th.
