FOREST HILL ACADEMY.-Whle we are
happy TO know that this School is in pros

citizens Of the town and vicinity, to the i'm

out why this should be done, as the induce

FEY Every rejecting mind must regret to
see portion-the more rabid and reckless
of the democratic party defending and at.
tempting to justify the late lawless proceed
ings at New Orleans. 1t is ascertained that
the Vigilance movement was put on foo. by
n few reckless and INSCRIPTIONS men for the
purpose of obtaining possession of the mu-
nicipal Offices of the city. As was to be ex-
pected, their villainous scheme failed, and
the propagators and abettors of it are re-
ceiving the unqualified condemnation of TIE
good and decent of all parties. There is no
excuse for m attempt at justification now
the rascallty at the bottom of the movement
is so evident that no'one can help seeing it.,
and the effort of leading party papers to sus.
tain it, is another lamen:able evidence that
there is no degree of wickedness or crime
which party mercenaries are not ready to
appreciate and sugar.coat for party effect
The papers so engaged could be much more
commercially employed.

THE PRESENT HEGIRA OF THE NOR
MONS-A DREADFUL PROSPECT.

There is something fearfully suggestive Of
famine, disease and death in the latest in
telligeuce of the general fight southwark of
the Mornons from the Salt Lake settlement
The whole movable camp, it appears, had
joined in the stampede. Forty thousand
souls were already on the wing, including
numerous almost destitute families, with
large numbers Of helpless women and chill
dren, many of the latter walking barefooted
over the desert sands, upon desert journey
of six hundred miles, and to destination of
which they appear to be utterly Ignorant
The chances, as between life and death, are
fearfully against them. We should not be
surprised if FIVE, or even ten thousand, of
this moving column of forty thousand souls
were to perish before reaching even the june
ton of the Ga and the Colorado.
With the news Of the intentions of the
government last summer, the Saints from
California, Oregon and the eastern plains
were summoned to the central camp of the
faithful in a.Lake Valley. Thus large
additions made to their consumers,
while their Sd k provisions has never been
superabundart. Their calculations were to
hold the United States army at bay till the
Saints had gathered in this years harvest;
but the sudden appearance of Governor Cum
ming at Salt Lake City, and the advancing
army behind him on the Plains for the relief
of Camp Scott, are the contingencies which
appear to have deranged all the estimates of
the Prophet, and which seem TO have started
his people in hurried retreat, as from the
terrors of an avenging enemy. We do not
wonder that Governor Cumming regarded
this stampede with pain and apprehension, nor
that his first concern was 10 arrest it, if pos
sible.
The distance from the Salt Lake Valley,
even to the ella river, the first available res
ting place fora season of so large body of
people as this moving Mormon community,
is over five hundred miles. They cannot
stop short of this point, in leaving their Utah
settlements. Over the whole intermediate
space they have nothing but deserts and de-
sert mountains before them and around them.
Already, too, we hear that the hungry desert
Indians are hanging upon their TANKS. In
this view of the matter, therefore, we think
that the attention of the administration should
now be directed in spirit of humanity to-
wards these miserable people. lfthey perish
in the deserts, it will be the result of their
own folly, we know; but it will scarcely be
regarded as creditabe calamity to our gov
eminent should the result of our well inten-
ded policy be left recorded in the bones Of
five or ten thousand Mormon women and
children bleaching upon the desert sands Of
Utah and New Mexico.
