PAST PRAYIEG FoR.-The Springfield
Republican, speaking of the zeal of tue
present Congress in investigating frauds,
says that it does not complain because
speaker Orr has appointed these Commit
tees from his party friends, norsabecause
much of the zeal is inspired by the hope
of catching Republicans in fault. 1t
says:
"lf Republicans arc guilty we desire to
see them exposed equally with the Dem
ocrats, for we have some hopes of the Re
publican party, but have lost all we ever
had of the Democracy. The Republican
party is the party of the future; and
present discipline in virtue will benefit it
self and the country whose government
1t is soon to assume. But the Democracy
are past praying for, and past service
repentance and reform are useful to them
only for the next world

dispatches From Col. Johnson

Washington, Feb. 2.-D;spatchcs were
were to-day received at the War Depart
ment from Col Johnston, of the Utah
Expedition, dated Camp Scott, Black
Fork, at Green River, on the Is Of De-
cember. He says:
81 have the honor to report that two
additional companies of volunteers have
been mustered into the service of the u
,ited States for nine months, making all
q battalion Of four companies of men,
numbering in the aggregate three hundred
and twenty. A term of six months would
be without utility, as, in that case the
men would be entitled to their discharge
i'll the midst Of active operations. A term
of twelve months was Objectionable, as it
would bring the period of discharges at so
late season rs to make it in,practicablc
for the men to return 10 their homes
These men were needed Immediately, to
aid in protecting the supplies for the ar
my, and the exieency did not allow time
for asking authority for their employ
ment."
Col. Johnston requests that Col. Hotf-
man, who is in command at Fort Lara
mic, but who was ordered to Fort Leav-
enworth on general court-martial, may be
relieved from that duty, and repair imme-
diately to Fort Laramie, to put in prog
ross the execution of orders for bringing
forward supplies for the army now in u
tab.
Tho troops arc generally comfortable
and n good health in their winter quar-
tiers.
Information is also Transmitted through
the Subsistence Bureau, at an abundant
supply of fat bcefhad been supplied to the
army at Fort Bridger from settlement
two hundred and fifty miles north oil Salt
Lake and from thence it is supposed large
quantities can be obtained in the spring,
should it be needed by the army in u
tab.

UxcgisE1tvc--A Recess Talked of.

The two Houses Of the Legislature, at
ter brief and not laborious session thus
morning adjourned over until Monday.
Beyond the revision of the Statutes and
the Land Grant Inv astigation, there Is
really little business to be done at the pres
ent session. A committee has been APP
pointed to examine and report upon the
revision. This examination will occupy
some weeks. The investigating committe
will be occupied some time before they
can complete their work and could pros
ecute their inquiries to better advantage if
they were at liberty TO devote their whole
time to the labor, uninterrupted BY the
necessity Of attending the daily sessions
Of the Legislature.
In view of these circumstances, there is
considerable talk among the members OF
q recess of three or four weeks. We
doubt very much, however, whether it is
practicable. Thepeople will not sanction
such recess, if it is prep sed to sad
die upon them the per diem Of the mem
bers and officers during the time. In
case the two houses will provide that the
pay of the officers and members who are
not employed on the committees referred
to, shall cease during the recess, many
ofthc objections TO it would be removed.

THE PRoposEp Army INCREASE

THE PROPOSED ARMY INCREAsE.-The
Army of the United States consists of 10
regiments, comprising in all 19S compa-
mics. When those companies are full, the
aggregate force amounts to 1904 men.
The army in 1912 numbered about 5000.
In fifteen years it has been increased by
about 10000 AT this rate we shall soon
have Standing army of ,oO0.-The
simplicity of our carly republicanisln is
passing away, and We arc fastening to
follow the example of all the older govern
ments of tho earth. The proposition
comes from the War Department, in its
Annual Report, to increase the army at
once to the extent of five new regiments,
or, in other words, to add something over
a fourth to the existing force This prop
osition is modified bv the War Committee
of the Senate, Of which the Secretary of
War, Jefferson Davis, is Chairman, in the
following manner: The Committee pro-
pose, instead of adding new regiments to
the army, to add 80 companies to the ex-
isting regiments, and to increase the num-
Der Of men in each company. The result
proposed is the same in each case, name
ly, an addition to the aggregate army
force only the proposition Of the Secre-
tarv Of War would add but about /, 500
men, while that of the Senate adds G. $50.

The FATE OF TRAIToRs.-There is
something impressive and almost sub
Fine, in the political action of a free peo-
pie. The paper ballot falls lightly as a
snow flake, but it is powerful us the word
of a king. 1t changes rulers and pol cies,
and speaks a silent, yet emphatic con-
domination of those who are unfaithful to
the conf lcnce placed in them. Our re-
cent political history shows how sure the
people are to mark their unworthy SER
wants. Thirteen Northern senators vo-
ted for the Kansas Nebraska BIZ. But
four of these are now in til, Senate; Stu
art of Michiean, Jones of Iowa, Douglas
Of Illinois, and Thompson of New jersey.
The successor to Gen. Jones is already
elected, and Stuart will linger ,n.y Until
his term expires. Forty two Northern
members of the House voted (. ? the Kan
sas Nebraska Bill. Three remain Jones

giisl, of Indiana. The others rest for

The Presidents Message.

The President has spoken. He has de-
livered special Message ON the Lecomp-
ton Constitution. 1t seems to us tiut
this new child of the Presidents brain
must have been 'sborn in sin, and conceiy-
ed in iaiquity." The Message, instead
of being affair and impartial statement of
facts, is merely a soplistical, partisan plea
for slavery in Kansas. The glaring, no.
torious fact, proved again and again, not
only. by Republicans, but by such Demo
Gratis rs Walker, Stanton, Douglas and
Forney; that thirteen of the most popu-
lous counties in the Territory were utterly
DISTINGUISHED by . rcglect to take the
census and'so had no representation in
the heeompton Convention,-this fact is
completely ignored by the President
The Madison State Journal savs;-
In 1856, the Republicans predicted
that If MIR. Buchanan was elected, Kansas
would be a slave State. His supporters
IN the North Indignantly denied that
such would be the consequence, and rid
ifuled the prediction. We roint them
nov to Mr., Buchanan's own language in
his recent Message. "It has been SOL
EMMY adjudged by the highest judicial
tribunal, that slavery exists in Kansas by
virtue OF the Constitution of tho United
States. Kansas rs therefore at this mo
menf as nanch Stare state as Georgia
or. ,Somh Carotina." Z,5 -.la' 81

SfantOn's Address.

Secretary Stanton has published an
address to the people of United States,
defending his course in Kansas, and con-
iemning the Lecompton fraud. Mr.. Stan
ton is a Southern man, an earnest advo-
cate of Southern rights, and has always
been warm friend to Mr.. Buchanan. -
The testimony of such a man is not to be
lightly set aside. He has been promi-
nent actor in the exciting scenes in Kan
sas, and speaks "that he does know"
Kansas is the battle-ground of Democ-
raey. Geary, Walker, Stanton, have oil
been forced to oppose the power which
sent them there. They revoIted at the
service required of them. Buchanan is
in about the same fix as Balak of old was.
And Balak said unto BALKAN, What hast
thou done unto me? | took thee to curse my
enemies, and behold, thou hast blessed them
altogether. Numbers xiii II.

We are persuaded that among the
farmers there is deplorable want Of re-
fined taste and love for the beautiful
They live and work too much for gain,--
they pride themselves too much on broad
fields and wcll-fflled gamers.
Now this is all wrong There is some
thing worth living for besides money.
That is very good, but II is not all. With
your other products raise crop of good
ideas. While you are farmers, remember
also that you are men, with responsible
ties and duties. Live down the old brutal
notion that farmer must be uncultured,
uncouth and unthinking-a mere animal
of drudgery. You are brought into i'm
mediate contact with the great heart of
civilization. You cannot get out of the
reach of the buzz of the toiling world.
The thrill of tie wonder working wires,
and the rumlln Of the locomotive comes
to your once secluded hillside. Therefore
move toward better life. Do not keep
you boys shelling corn and your girls
spinning all the long winter evenings.
Make your farms a place that sons and
dau shters cannot help loving. Cultivate
tees they arc "Gols Messengers."-
Cultivate a taste for books and pictures.
Take time to read, and acquaint your
selves with what is going on in the coun-
try AROUND. And when you are t;lling
your soil, do not allow the mind to grow
up to weeds and tllorns, but cultivate care
fully the mind SO that it may develop
rich fruits and flowers of thought Be
judicious in the arrangement of your
house; have no dark, gloomy rooms into
which you seldom cn'er except with the
parson and tie gossips Of the sewing-ci
c.e; live in the pleasuntest room in your
house, and decorate the walls if possible
with pictures that tell Of love, grace, and
beauty. Encourage your daughters to
Gull the rarest flowers that grow in the
woods or on the prliri.s, and transplant
them to your garden, SO that it may look
about your house more like q HOME, AMI
less like a dreary prison. 1t will make
you think more Of yourself; and your
sons and daughters, when they have gone
forth from your roof, will look with plea
sure back to the old homestead, and will
never forget the lessons there inculcated.
One thing more. Don't learn your
daughters to read French or play the pi-
ano before they can manage tiower-bed.
Teach them to cultivate your fruit trees, to
use tie pruning-knife, and by thus learning
them to admire the works Of nature
The tree, the flower, the bird - you learn
them to admire the Creator and Uphold
er of the natural world, and point them
to that happy land where flowers ever
bloom.
