cAGo AND SEVERAL OTHER SMALL Towxs.-A
correspondent writing from Camp Scott, the
head quarters of the Utah army says:
4 redeemed Mormon lady, who has
sought the protection OF the army here, told
me, the other day, that Brigham Young
threatens that in case the President does not
Z" bacl, out" from the position he has taken
in his message. that he will send his /" de-
stroying angels" on mission OF inceDdiarsm
to burn St. Louis, Keokuk, Chicago, New
York, and even the capital CT the United
States These cities, and many others, are
to be fred simultaneously. And further
more, his followers in the States are to vol
unteer in the new volunteer regiments TO be
raised this spring, and are 20 come out here
for the purpose OF spying inside our camp,
and melting the soldiers to H.utiny; and il
case CT a battle, to desert our ranks at Civ

Vice President Breckiur,d-e.

1t is known that no personal necessity has
induced the Vice President to abandon for
the present the Chair of the Senate. He
has left Washington for New Orleans. It's
worthy of note that up to this day no man
knows what is his position on the Lecomp-
ton Constitution. He has maintained rig
id, unbendins reserve, strikingly in contrast
with his general character, and it is asserted
that the best informed political circles in
Washington are unable to say whether he is
fer or against Lecompton. Certainly he has
neither welded the power of his office or his
private influence in aid of the Administra-
ton at this crisis. 1t is argued from this ST.
lence that Mr. Breckenridge is, in his own
mind, opposed TO the policy of the Admins
tration; but, being member of it, he has
not felt at liberty to embarrss its action

The DIFFtKESCE.-A contemporary, ad-
dressing the LccOmpionites, thus whites
down to = point the difference between the
opposing parties on the Kansas question:
Now your side in turn present bill for
her admission, and We accept it with the
single condition that the people OF Kansas,
al an election to DC held so soon as NAV Lc.
under the auspices and control of the Pre-
siden;'s Governor and Secretary en- the one
hand, and the President Of the Territorial
Council, and Speaker of the House on the
other, shall ratify the Constitution YOU en-
dorss; II not, they shall proceed forthwith
TO make a new one, under which they shall
be admitted without further action OF Con
gross. This lie the whole Of the House
amendment, which the Senate has Just flung
back this is all the remaining ground OF
strife. We take yoar LecornDton Constitu-
ticn, eternal slavery and all. provided the
people of Kansas do not see fit to reject it
and form a new one instead. You say they
are tired OF agitation; we admit it. You
say the country is weary of tins strife; so
be 1t. 1ou say you wish u looailze this
Kansas feud and take it out of Congress;
we are with you there again. You sa, the
people OF Kansas are resigned to the Ie-
compton instrument, and prefer to ratify it
rather than plunge into a further sea of agi-
tation. We say, then they viii SO vote and
end the controversy as YOU wish. We ask
only that they be allowed to decide this
matter for themselves. II you are right as
to their disposition, you have only to &C
cept the Crittenden substitute. and all is
settled as you would have it. And if you
are not right on the question OF fact-if the
people of Kansas do intensely hate and ab-
hOr that Lecompton Constitution as the off
spring Of fraud and imposture, the consum-
nation of long series of outrages and vii
lainicS to which they have been subjected
by what right, on what preteXt, will you
force X upon them:'

On the evening previous to the death OF
Col Benton, Mr.. Buchanan paid him visit
which is thus referred to by the Union:
The President, hearing Of the extreme i'll
ness OF his ancient compeer, called upon him
on Friday Evening. The dying statesman
declared afterwards his exceeding gra,iiica
ton at the visit The interview is said 10
have been protrac;ed. Mr.. Benton is said
to have expressed his extreme so!icitude for
the condition OF public affairs, and painful

MILK SICKNEss-Irs CAUSE AND CURE.-I
noticed some weeks since, an invitation in
your paper to discussion upon this sub
ject; but as nothing has yet appeared,
venture to break the silence, and assert, at
the outset, that the cause is known, and the
cure has been tested. | will be as concise
as possible, make few statements, and in
vite people everywhere to prove the truth of
what | say. First. The cause is cobalt
No ore, in its natural state, has ever been
discovered that is poison, but cobalt. l have
never known man or beast to be- affected
where this ore is not found. Second. The
cure is suphuric acid. have tried it my
self, and seen it tried upon both man and
beast, and know it to be efficient.
The above is no hoax-it is the result of
my own experience, and proves to my per
feet satisfaction the truth of what assert.
Let others test and prove it likewise.

sions.
y. Buck moved to amend the resolution

ton Constitution, and though we differ with
him in regard to the policy Of admitting
hatSao a. q 0tdtt 4Iii"I tIIe Saiu NOliSbItu-

of the Hon. Stephen 4. Douglas, and all
other members Of Congress, in opposing the
admission Of Kansas under the Lecompton
Constitution, and hereby tender them our
thanks therefor.
Xts2lrs3, That whereas the President and

Die of Kansas, and contrary to principle of
the Democratic party in not allowing the
people to vote for or against the Consttu-
ton, and now only dsagrtelng in the policy
Of now admitting Kansas into the Union
under that Constitution. Therefore, We see
no sufficient cause for division serious
dissension on this account in the Democratic
party, and call on all good Democrats to do
nothing in anger, or unadysedly, and to aid
Us in trying TO harmonic and compromise
any conflicting opinions among US.

Fri.htful consequences are likely to ensue
along the lower Mississippi, which is Row
higher in some places than ever before
known. BY accession of combined floods
now coming from the upper rivers, the Mis-

The Missouri and Illinois rivers are both
high and rising. All their tributaries are
at flood height. The high water is occasion
cd by heavy rains, extending throughout the
whole western and northwestern country,
not the usual spring mountain rise; should
that follow before the present food subsidies
the whole lower country will doubtless be
