BRIGHAM YoUNG's BOYS IN TRouBLB.-The
editor OF the st. Joseph journal has been
shown a letter from David Ii. Burr, ESQ,
late Surveyor General of Utah, to Mr.. Hook
aday, dated October 22d, from which we
make the following extract to show how mat.
tiers are progressing in the Holy Valley:
1.-The Mormons are tolerably quiet at pres
ent, though occasionally they show the cio-
ven foot. Yesterday, Joe and Brigham
Young Csons OF the Prophet) went into Gill
bert and Gerrish's store and were impudent
to Gilbert, when he collared them and sum.
marily elected them from his store. Joe got
on his horse, and, drawing his revolver, at
tempted to ride in and shoot Gilbert, but
Brigham, being little more discreet, prevent
ed him. A crowd gathered around, revolvers
were drawn, and trhe then would have
produced q collision. If Joe had not been
stopped he would certainly have been shot.
Some Mormons went then and arrested them
both, pretending to take them to the Gala
boose."

A good anecdote of Prof. Agassz is told in
new volume in press at Boston. The Pro-
lessor had declined to deliver a lecture before
some lyeoum, or public society. on account of
the inroads which previous lectures given BY
him had made upon his studies and habits of
thought. The gentleman who had been de-
puted to invite him, continued to press the
invitation, assuring him that the society were
ready to pay him literally for his services

well appreciated by many of the lovers
of good music, here, fulfilled the high
expectations entertained of his perform
ances. Mr.. Durant was not the least
favorite of the evening, and we are sure that
we express the opinion of most present, when
we say that they will rejoice at the oppor-
tunity Of hearing him again. Indeed, the
whole troupe would be cordially welcomed on

The following facts speak we'll for the rel-
gious influence Of the course and culture of
the University Of Vermont
The number Of graduates from the Univer-
sity entering the ministry, has been gradu-
ally increasing for the last fifteen years, till
the last year not less than t,centy-oae were to
be found at the different theological schools,
or attending to private instruction. Of these
t,celce were connected with Andover Theolog-
ical Seminary, fire with Union and Auburn,
and four, including two Episcopalians and
one Methodist, We're not members of any pub
lie institution. 1t is an interesting fact that
ten of the tyenty-one were converted during
their college course. One or more propose
entering the service of the American Board
Most are men of great promise, as may be in
ferred from the fact that in seven of the last
ten classes, the young men most distinguished
for scholarship have entered or propose en-
tering the Ministry

SLAVES ON BUNKER HILL.

Had Mr.. Toombs been at CharlestOwn Mass,
last week on Monday, he might have veri.
fed his prediction that he should yet call
the roll of his slaves on Bunker Hill. Ger
tainly more servie assembly could not be
gathered in his own State than was that
Democratic mass meeting, held in Charles
ton, to ratify the nominations OF their state
ticket. Here are my slaves, 'Toombs might
have said, if he had been present. Their
skins may be whittier than those which | have
on my Georgia plantation, but they obey my
orders as promptly as those do, and IN one
respect, they 60 beyond them. My 6Idc6
slaves show occasionally wish to be irec'
and have to keep little watch lest some
of the more enterprising ones shall slip away
", .i.o light "nd take their course towards
the North star but as for these Massachu-
sets democrats, so long as they can be bait
ed with the possession or hope Ct Office I'M
der the Federal government, with sops OF
any sort from the public treasury, there is
no fear of their running away or even wish
ing to get rid of their chains.
Think of their declaring by resolution
that the election of James Buchanan was
"evidence of special interposition of Provi-
dence''-of "the expression of their gratitude
to and increased confidence in the President
think of gathering of Massachusetts,
men, under the shadow of Bunker Hill
Monument, on the soil once wet by the blood
of Warren and his patriot associates; think
of such men, assembled for the express
ion of their political sentiments, yet without
making single allusion to the self-sacriiic-
ing spirit, the burning love for freedom,
freedom for themselves, freedom for their
children, freedom for all men, which glowed
in the hearts of the men who shed their
blood on "Bunkers awful mount" but
occupied with declaring "the right of pro-
perty in negroes to be sacred''-as sacred as
the right of manufacturer to the cloth
woven in his own mills.
The whole drift of their resolutions was in
favor of Slavery not one generous aspira.
ton can be found in them they in express
terms, or virtually, uphold the most atroci'
Gus doctrines OF the most ultra pro-slavcry
politicians of the Slave States, and condemn
every movement made by states or indiyi
duals against the progress of slavery.
When such exhibitions of scryiity are pu
forth in the heart of New England, 1--WE wish
thew w2re confined to Massachusetts, W,
do not wonder that the Southern politicians
say they have no fear of the North-that st
long as the democracy Of the North can b,
allowed to make money, and to get the no
nor o. Office, and the profit of contracts an(
salaries they will obey their Southern mas
tiers in every thing-will bow the neck wher
biddden to do so-will bend the knee Il
their frown-will lick the dust if command
ed, and kiss the hand that beats them.

At the risk of another charge of "billi-

Mr. IIcyde's certainly very moderate and

Editors Of the Free Press;
| will trouble you with
but one reply to the TYmes' very personal, and it
seems to me- very unjust and ungencrous article.
Respecting the implied favor according to the
Times,) extended to me by the Ladies' Managers of
Floral Hall at tho Fair, in allowing me to exhibit
my very middlng' pictures, have only to say
tina, l declined sending in any Of my Paintings,
giving n reason, that, in my opinion, the build
ing was unsuitable for the exhibition of such arti
Giles, and afforded them adequate protection from
storms of driving rain, if any should occur-which
happened. But, having received n verbal message
from ono of the Lady Managers, on the first day of
the Fair requesting me to send them, in respect for
the sender of the Message, l visited the grounds,
and was solicited there, again, to send them, by
the assembled Managers l complied with some
reluctance, still protesting against the insecurity
of the building
snperintendcd, myself the conveyance of my

them during the severe rain that followed; and
brought them away personally.
| The Times treats the idea Of my Paintings being
| spoilt with show of contempt and adduces the
contribution of the Editors own picture in semi
heroic way expressing indifference to the probable
injury that might have bcfallcn it. On this will
merely remark, that there is difference be-
tween persons sending articles from which they
derive professional or pecuniary advantage, ant
those who depend upon their productions for arep
utation and subsistence
The missive of the Times is pcnncd, as it were
in behalf of the Ladies. am certain that thos
Ladies who constituted the Directors of Floral Hall
with some of whom 1 am we'll acquainted and fol
all of whom I entertain the highest regard, vii
not endorse its tone and spirit. AS to any light
ness of phraseology used by me, which the Time

THE COMET travels about $50 900 miles an
hour. 1t would pass entirely around the earth
in about ten minutes; it could cross the Allan
tic fifty times IN sixty minutes. This speed
would enable it to jerk train Of cars
from Albany to Buffalo in less time than you
could "say scat to bob tailed kitten" as the
Albany Rnickerbocker hath it, Fasten it to
train of cars, and all the railroads in the world
would not keep It in work over haitian hour.
Such speed is wonderful even to think Of.
and yet there are things more Astonishing
Although the comet goes ahead at the rate
of $50, 900 miles an hour, some of the fixed
stars are so far of that it would take the said
Comet a thousand years to reach them.
