British Tactics.

The English government is well aware of the powerful influence possessed by noted wri- ters over their readers, and their control of pub lie sentiment. h the revolutionary war all the British writers of note were subsidized; even that literary leviashan, Samuel Johpson being hired to write his pamphlet of Taxation no Tyranny" 50 soon as Sir Walter Scott became famous, his pen was employed in writing all ey-paYte life of Napoleon, which was simply gigantic special plea for the British crown and was rewarded with baronetcv. Dickens, the popular author, has also been bought and his late works all drift one way. A iavorte cast of the plots of English novels was to bring their heroes and heroines to America and there leave them in afFiuence and liberty. All at once Dickens changed this. and sends his per- sonages to Australia. His "American Notes in themselves, great libel, was followed by Martin Chuzzlewit," written with the view t. discourage emigration to America. Not only Dickens, but the bulk of the writers for English periodicals have lately commenced a series of articles abusive ofAmericans and ridiculing their courage and manners Their wit consists in ln- troducng an American who talks through his nose, guesses, spits, and in some way, is made 10 show the white feather If we are to be- lieve that these things are, in any way, indica- tive of their state of feeling to this country, 1t would appear that the late insults to our flag were part of premeditated series.
 In Ireland, every obstacle has been thrown in the way of persons desiring to come to this country; in some of the English ports it almost amounts to prohibition and now they are at tempting to prohibit the emigration from Ger many. An exchange says:
 "The British government arsmoving heaven and earth to divert the current of emigration from Germany to Australia. They offer ing free passages and land, and the promise of high wages to all who will go. They have their agents everywhere in Germany, and have it is charged, bought up many of the presses 10 advocate Australia and decry the United States" !"

Utah.

The President sent a special message to Con war. Gov. Cumming was received with re- spect af d some degree of enthusiasm. There are, cvid entity, two parties in and about Salt Lake City; one for peace, the other for war; The peace party have had their line of policy adopted and the result Is that their women and children have evacuated the city and are on their way to Sonora or to some other point in New Mexico The greater part of the military force oi the Territory not at Salt Lake C. ty, but stationed at different points. Gov. Cumming was told by some of the dissatisfied Mornons that they intended to apply the torch to all the buildings, but thls is to be doub ed. Mr. Benhisel, their delegate has proposed 10 sell these improvements and doubtless they will be left ill their present condition and form the basis Of claim against the governments The seals, records, and other matters relating to the territory were fou'd to be uninured and were handed over by Young.
 At meeting at the, TaberI acle when Gov. Cumming promsed protection to those wishing to return to the States, about one hundred aud nifty persons immediately threw themselves un- der his protection. This is evidence of the dislntegration of the whole concern. The lar- ger number of the woiAen and children had been removed before Cummings arrival, or doubtless, the number who signiied their in- tention to cut loose from Mormonism, would have been mrch larger.
 The troops are fighting mad at not being able to have brush with the enemy Capt. Marcy has not been cut off, as was reported, but is now in communication with the camp at Fort Scott.
 The Mormon warriors were all falln, back md concentrating at various poi ts ill the ter ntory, and their conduct gave rise to some sus- piclon out we believe that the submissive poi- cy adopted by Young will be followed up.

 T. C. HINDNAN

"I mind the news as much AS mind my meals: Pray you, signor, have mercy on a hun gry man, aud tell me the news from Rome.
 Great news, signor, there's going to be war;
 war! war. and pray you, sgnor, with what power are they going to war?'
 We have been unfortunate in all our treaties with England, by permitting her to insert some clause admitting of construction differing from its obvious import and always to the advantage of Great Britian. The Clayton Bulwer treaty is an instance of this. The British claim the right of visitation, while dcbying, not insist ing, upon the rgh of seorch, by virtue ot a treaty stipulation with this government, in pur- suance of the intention to put down the slave trade. At this time, when England is carrying on the coolie trade and apprentice system, she endeavors to screen her acts by pretended ac- tivitv in hunting slavers.. She has transferred the field of her lsbors from the coast of Africa to the Gulf of Mexico, and has fired into Ame- r:can merchantmen, overhauled them and de- tained them until they were visited by her oi- Gcers There is, there can be, but one opinion as to these outrages. Ample reparation must be made for them, and full apologies from the British government or we must seek redress by other means. Still, we should proceed firmly, bravely yet deliberately. A war with Great Britain would be no chlld's play It would be war between the two greatest nations of the earth. We have an abiding faith in the patri- otism and 6fmness oe the President and his sec retary of state, and predict that if Congress has granted or will give him the power that was given to Mir. Van Buren, when president, that we shall obtain from Great Bttain, not only ample and prompt reparation for the injuries re. ceived, but guarantees for the future. Failing in this, we shall senew the events of 1872
 It is, perhaps fortunate that these events have occurred at this time, for 1t will afford us an opportunity to rem d our treaties with that goverumeut. to a.ro.ate the ridiculous Clayton. Bulwer treaty and of the treaty for the suppres. sion of the slave trade
 We do not believe that there will be war DO tAe Q Ter hand we think that the British government will disavow these high handed a,ts of her naval officers and apologze. Ii shs does not, then var will necessarily ensue.

Mrs. Richards Young Ladies Institute

We have attended during the past week to many of the classes examined at the above in- stitue. and we must conscientously atknowleds se that some of the classes sustained well the re- putation of the school; the concert likewise passed off very credtaby, but by far the most Wednesday evening; compositions were read; as whole we consider them above par; among them we noticed particularly The power of kindness" aud !" Friendship" they were not only well written but well read, which is rare occurrence among speakers of the fairer sex whose organs of delivery are not usually as well developed as mi ght be desired when called upon to speak in large hall. The vaiedictorv. full of pathos, and delivered very distinctly with winning grace, drew may hearts to the fair speaker. It was atriumph and deservedly
 The feature of the evening was Mir. Nc Conaughey's address. The we'll known talents of this gentleman had prepared us for rich treat, and our expectations were fully realized, though Ill hls aHusions 70 the north he evident ly trod on some peoples toes, as was apparent by their excited demeanor. Next followed the principals yearly report Its elevated tone and high moral character was highly appreca- ted by the audience generally. May Ishe long remain among us to train our children in the way they should go." We were much pleased 10 hear that the rumor purporting it to be her intention to leave the city and establish school elsewhere was unfounded. Patronage will not be wanting her, nor friends, whatever opposi- ton may.be started against her school she need not fear, but keep good heart, and the com munity whose esteen she has 50 justly won will show their appreciation of her merits by sending their children to be inssructed under her viyilant care.

Traitors and their Treason.


 The act of treason does 10. immediately fol- low its conception. Benedict Arnold did not suddenly become traitor upon the first over ture made by the enemy, but had. for some time. been brooding over fancied wrongs-a neglect of promotion and pecuniary aid. The hribe does not make the traitor; the traitor ln- duces the bribe The histories of all traitors go to show that their treason is oftener the result of magnity than of avarice. A hatred Of cer- tain members of party is extended to the party itself, devotion to principle gives place to a blind hate of the personal enemy till, steP by step, the traitor leaves his former party and throws himself in the arms of the enemy Such men. while they deserve our contempt, are entitled to some share of our pity, for we see that they like drunken men, cannot walk straight because their senses are obscured; the one by hate, the other by alcohol. As Arnold became one of the most vindictive of tories, so the traitor at last becomes one the bitterest op- ponent of his former principles and friends.
 We could cite instances in Arkansas where the opposition to democracy Is found to proceed from men who were nurtured in her bosom, and who have been recipients of her iavors. It is probematical how far hatred and cowardly malignty will yet lead these men; whether it will induce them to form an alliance with abo- litionism aud render them traitors to their coun- try as we'll as to their party. Just now, these men are loud in their professions of patriotism and averments that they have only the good of the people at heart. As in instruments of writ ing for fraudulent purposes, the parties are sure to set forth very large consideration, so, these politicians, when attempting to deceive the peo pie, become intensely patriotic. Beware oi them. The same men who are now declaring their devotion to southern rights are endeavor- ing to injure the only party capable of defend ing those rights. When, few years ago, we predicted that such men would be found in op- position to the democratic party, they treated the prophecy with scorf; when we now tell them that in few years they will become open and avowed aboltoHi>ts they become indignant. Such Is the inevitable result of their present course and we call upon all true lovers of their country, to cut loose from them, anu refuse aid and comfort to those who are giving aid and comfort to northeru fanA.icsm by opposing the only party capable of resisting il, and who are dividing and dstractng the south at the time when ubion and harmony are most to be de sired.

Washington, June 22.-The official advices received by the last arrival from England are more favorable than has been represented .- The British government does not insist on visi- tation or search a right, but only asks some amicable arrangement, whereby slavers can be detected All differences, 1t is expected, will be amicably arranged.
 There has been d cabinet meeting on State affars, which are very complicated. The troops on the way will proceed to Utah. Judge Eckels' charge against polygamy is condemned as calculated to embarrass the paci- fic union of the Mormons The postoilice department have received pro- positions for carrying the mails from New Or leans and New York to Havana, alternating with the Law line, receiving postage as remu. neration.
