Volunteering for Utah,

The passage of Mr.. Quitman's bill in the
House of Representatives, at Washington,
on Friday last, suihorising the President to
accept the services of four regiments of VOL
unteers, has aroused the patriotic spirit of
our young men. Yesterday morning a
notice appeared, signed by G. Eckendorf,
VIM. II. Sckels, and John P. tVanleer, re.
questing young men desrous of volunteering
for the "Utah Expedition" 10 assemble at
the Cadwalladon Gray's armory. S. W.
corner Of Ninth and Walnut streets At the
hour named large number of fine, able
bodied young men were in attendance, will
ling and anxious TO be enrolled. During
the day the place was kept open, under the
superintendance of Mr.. Vanleer, and last
! evening one hundred recruits had presented
themselves and been enrolled. From the
zeal manifested, there lis no doubt that a
regiment can be raised in this city alone,
inside of month, for this service. Some
of the parties in this movement have seen
service, and as-themosers in it have long
been Unidentified with the volunteer soldiery
of Philadelphia. Mr.. Eckendorff was for
merly Captain Of the Washington Grays, of
this city, one Of our best disciplined compa-
MES. Mr.. Sckclv is now the First Leuten.
ant of the Cadwalader Grays, which COM
pany served with credit in the Mexicrn war,
and Mr. Vanleer served during the Mexican
war in the Texan Rangers, and is now con-
nected with the Scott Legion and Cadwala-
der Grays. The intention is TO continue the
enrolment, and fill up regiment, and if
the bill passes the Senate, to Immediately
tender their services to the President, for
the suppression of the Utah rebellion -

gagged in preparing for the opening of the
spring trade. To acquaint the public in
general with the character OF their wares,
the best method is decidedly SOY TO an

We have facilities for advertising that can't

had better improve the opportunity. A

ReS0nrceS of the S0nth.

Senator Hammond, of South Carolina, in
his late speech, gave the following descrip.
hon OF the resources of the South:
- The South, he said, has eight hundred
and fifty thousand square miles. Of territory,
an area as large as that covered by Great
Britain, France, Austria;-Prussia and..spain.
The North, even after the admission of the
two large Territories of Kansas and Min
nesota, will fall one hundred thousand
square miles4 the South. This does
not include the territory lying west of-,he
Rocky Mountains, which will never come
iHio antagonism with the South. We have
the best soil, the best climate. indispensa.
BILE productions that cannot be grown else
whore, shore line of three thousand miles
ard so indented with bays and crowded
with islands as to make the whole measur-
ment twelve thousand miles. Through the
heart of our country runs The mighty Miss
issippi, into whose bosom are poured thirty
six thousand miles of tributary streams.-
In the great valley it drains will be the seat
OF the worlds empire. We have a popula-
ton four times as large as that which con-
quered our independence, and thousand
fold as strong. Upon our muster rolls we
have milan OF men. At any time The
South can raise, equip, and maintain in the
field larger force than any power on earth
can send against her-men, too, brought up
on horseback, ,yS%h guns in their lands
The wealth OF people is 10 be estimated
by their surplus productions. All the en-
'erprises OF peace and war depend on what
nation is able 10 spend The reports of
the Secretary of the Treasury show that the
exports of the United States amounted last
year 10 S279,000, exclusive of gold and for
eign merchandise re-exported, OF this
amount, the productions of the South are
%lS5, 600 of our staples, making our
surplus productions worth S220, 0,OOO,O ,OOC,

Sumner upon both the charges preferred

This result will he eminently gratifying to
the country, as it certainly is 10 the Army
Gen. Harney's conduct throughout the whole
affair has been utterly unworthy of his pos
iton, and cminently unbecoming an officer
and gentleman. His remarks at the Fort
Leavenworth Cour.Nlartial were gratutous-
ly personal and offensive, and this violation
of courtesy was greatly aggravated by his
obstinate refusal 10 offer Colonel Sumner
any explanation.

minutes before agreeing upon their verdict

THR Revival There is still the greatest
possible religious excitement every day at
James Hall. The prayer meetings held there
in the morning are largely attended, and 10
the afternoon crowds flock TO The same place
TO listen 10 sermons from various CITY d-
vines. Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Willis
preached. To-day there is to be another ser
mon, by whom, however, we do not know.
The spirit is not confined, however, TO one
locality in Philadelphia. All over the City,
on the contrary, prayer and exhoration
meetings are being held, and the most
remarkable religious awakening everknown
is abroad. In New York and other prominent
cities and towns in every direction, the same
spirit is shown as here, and there is a
chance that the excitement will increase
rather than deminish.-P Philadelphia, Ne'gs,

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-Nearly Sirty Read of
Choice Cattle Destroyed two o'clock,
on tuesday morning, the large stone barn
and stables on the country place OF Thomas
r. Remington, Esq. on the Lancaster Turn
pike, in Lower Merton township, were en-
tlrely destroyed by fire. The fire had OBJ.
famed so great Roadway when it was dis.
covered and the flames spread with SUCH
rapidty that but few of the large number of
choice cattle in the building were saved
There were about seventy head of horned
cattle and four horses i'll the stables Four
teen of the cows and ore calf were saved,
and three horses got out; all the rest per-
ished in the flames.
MIR. Reinington's stock of cattle was cell
ebrated for its excellence. They were
short.horned Durhams and Alderneys, and
were OF the very best description. An the
valuable machinery, vehicles and utensils,
and large quantity of hay and feed, and
the buildings in which they were stored,
were destroyed, involving a very heavy loss
upon which there is no insurance, the poll.
cies having expired within short time, and
not having been renewed.
