WAsHISGToN, June 10.

Official information has been received
from Gov. Cumming of his arrival at Salt
Lake City, and favorable reception there.
Brigham Young formally delivered to
him all authority, and commanded the
people to obedience. There was not the
slightest demonstration of hostility.
Brigham Young and the prominent
Mormons were to have left Salt Lake
City on Tuesday last.
A message was received in the House
to-day from the President, enclosing n
copy of a dispatch from Gov. Cumming,
dated May %, and received at the State
Department yesterday. From this the
President says there is reason TO believe
that our difficulties with Utah have terml-
mated, and hat the laws aro restored. He
congratulates Congress on the suspicious
event, and expresses the opinion that
there will be no occasion to make the ap-
preparations for the three regiments of
volunteers recently authorized for quell-
ing the disturbances in Utah and for pro-
tec,lon of emigrant trains and supplies,
and says that Texas can be defended by
the regular troops now within her limits.
The President is more gratified because
the events in Utah will afford some relief
to the Treasury, and NO. require a load
additional taxation of the people.
The dispatches states hat some of the
Mormons are out in arms, and speaks of
the mischief they are capable of render
ing as guerrillas.
A sudden outbreak between Senators
Gwin and Wilson this evening caused pro-
found astonishment.
Mr.. Wilson was speaking of the way
the government was plundered in Cali
fornia.
Mr.. Gwin intimated that Mr.. Wilson
talked like a demagogue.
Mr.. Wilson replied that he would ra,h
er be a demagogue than a thief. Mean.
ing to apply the term thief to the plum
derers of the government in California.
Mr.. Own asked for an explanation.
Mr.. Wilson said he had ION to give
upon which Mr.. Gwin said he was a ca
lumniator, liar and coward. Then thu
colloquy ended.

Nearly every other man in the place

A Disastrous FREsmET-A MorHEE

A Disastrous FREsHET-A MOTHER
AND EIGHr CHILDREN DRowNED.-A
painful and heart rending casualty, caus-
ed by a sudden freshet, occurred
at Roscoe, ninety miles from this city. on
Rock River, five miles this side of Beloit,
OH the Beloit and Madison branch OF
the Galena s. Chicago Rail Road.
a special Geographic dispatch informs
us that about dawn yesterday morning, a
freshet came rushing down a ravlne,
through which, in ordinary seasons, flows
an insignificant brook, u tributary TO the
Rock River.
Upon the bank stood The two..tory
frame dwelling occupied by a much es-
teemed ~clergymen, Rev. Horatio Ilsley.
From some cause, either by the under
mining of the bank, or the dwelling be-
ing reached by the angry food, it was
overturned and carried away. Its inmates
the clergyman, his wife, and their chill
dren, were in their beds when they were
swept into the raging torrent. The father
managed, almost m~iraculously, TO effect
his escape, and reached the bank nearly
exhausted the mother and children were
seen no more alive.
The most profound sensation at once
pervaded the entire community. The
most active measures were al once taken
to recover the bodies, and up to 8 o'clock
A. NJ, four had been taken out.
The eight children we've of variou:
ages, ranging from infancy tn seventeen
years Of age. The family was one mucf
beloved in that community, and the sal
fate that has swept them into eternity vii
cause many tears.
Other houses were also swept away
but no more lives were lost.

THE FLooD IN ST. LoUIs.-The St.

NEW ORLEANS IN A TUMuLT..-Owing
TO the insecurity of life and properly in
Newt orleans, from the lax administration
of Justice, especially in the trial by jury,
and the escape of murderers and thieves,
the people, on Wednesday last, rose up,
and organized themselves into a vigil
ant committee" and usurped the civil au-
thority. Some fifteen hundred well arm
ed and well-o0icered men, constituted this
committee, and determined to administer
justice according to the laws of Judge
Lynch" For several days, there was
great danger of a violent collision between
the civil and uncivil authorities; but the
former seeing the strength and firmness
Of the latter, and that they would never
submit unless conciliated-the Mayor and
Council finally yielded so far as to recog-
Mise the necessity of the movement, by
agreeing that one thousand Of the vigilant
committee should be sworn in as a special
police to maintain order in the city for
the time being, aud during the municipal
election, which MAS to take place yester-
day.
The American party has been in the
ascendency, in that city, aud it was charg-
ed hat the Democrats were at the bottom
of this violent movement, with a view to
turn public sentiment against the former,
and get possession of the city govern,
ment; but so far as facts would seem tc
warrant, there is no foundation for this

LApLAcHE's ABsCENcE or MIND
When last at Naples he was sent FOR to
the palace, entered the waiting room, and,
till called into his majesty, conversed with
the courtiers in attendance. Having a
cold IN his head he requested permission
to keep on his hat. Getting into full dis
course, he was suddenly startled by the
gentleman in waiting crying out, His
majesty demands the presence of Signor
Lablache." In his eagerness 10 obey the
royal summons he forgot the hat he had
on his head, and, snatching up another.
thus entered the kings cabinet. Being
received with a most hearty laugh, Labla-
che was confounded, but at length recov-
cred himself and respectfully asked his
majesty what had excited his hilari,y
My dear Lablache," replied the king,
"pray tell me which of the two hats you
have got with you is your own, that on
your head, or that in your hand ! Or, per-
haps you have brought both as a measure
Of precaution, in case you should leave one
behind you ?" "Ah m~aLedettd," replied
Lablache, with an air of ludicrous distress
Oh discovering his ~etourd.ric, "two hats
are, indeed, too many for a man who has
no head"

OcEAN STEAM NAviGArIoN.-Twen,y
years ago the first ocean steamer, the
Great Western, built on n large scale,
crossed the Atlantic and arrived at New
York, when the experiment of successful
ocean steam navigation wa, considered as
tested. Many years before a steamer
had crossed from Charleston, South Car.

till a short time previous 10 the above, the
success of steam vessels on the ocean, in
competition with sail vessels. was consid-
cred almost entirely out of the question.
What we have seen since, in this partic-
ular, then thought 10 be nearer an imposs-
Utility in the public mind, than in the sue
cessful laying and operation of the Allan
tic Telegraph Gable thought to be now.
If this last contemplated achievement is
perfected, Gas we hope some that it will
but fear more that it will not, } we shall
all have TO give up the point and acknowl-
edge that the earth does move -
