Mr.. c. F. Currier, of Leavenworth, late
Chief Clerk of the Territorial Legislature,
and one of the original 'Minneolians, y some
time since wrote letter to NJ J. Parrott,
advising that gentleman to abate his oppo-
sition to the Lecompton Constitution, and
remove all obstacles in the way of the ad-
mission of Kauzas into the Union under
that instrument, stating that his constituents
would endorse his action in 50 doingl The
matter Leaked out" however, and the in
dignationNf the people Of Leayenworth was
so great that Mr.. Currier has not dared to
show his head for some time past for fear
of personal injury.

To the PsopleIef Kans@s IsfsStOry:
have this day been shesn circular
purporting to be Instructions to entolling
officers for enrolling the kanzas Militia,
and signed by one u. III. Lane" dated
Head Quarters Kanzas Militia, Lawrence,

issued by the same individual, appointing
S. ]. Willis Enrolling officer of kanzas
Territory All these acts are Illegal, with :
eat- authority of law, and on the part OF
81. H. Lane" usurpation OF power. The
soth section of. the Organic Act declares
that ssthe Governor shall reside within said
Territory, and shall be COMMUNICATIVE chief
of the Militia thereof" and 'she shall com
mission all officers who shall be appointed
to Office under the laws of said Territory"
There is ne power in the Territory that
can deprive TIE Governor of the authority
thus vested in him, and he alone can fix
the head quarters of the Kanzas Militia
There is no law of Congress, and conse-
auently there can be none of the Territory,
authorizing 'tJ H. Lane 10 issue commits
sions, nor has any commission been issued
to him. e2 -
Ii affords me great pleasure to congratu-
late the people on the restoration of peace
in the Territory, and caution them against
encouraging or countenaneing these insid-
ious attempts to renew the difficulties and
troubles which have 100 long held sway
here. The effort seems to be 10 induce per-
sons to engage in this business under a
promise to pay them FIVE dollars per day,
not one cent of which will ever be realized.
What but trouble. can ensue if one turbu-
lent man is thus allowed to set Up military
dictatorship over the civil authority and
squander the public money at pleasure l
trust the good sense of the people will in
duce them to frown down all such illegal
and improper movements. 80 -1 t

The Council Bluffs Bsgze of the Sd inst
saFs: .sMr. Wingate has just arrived in
this city, en- route for Chicago and etheFeas-
tern cities, and only thirty zone days from
Salt Lake City. He reports no snow in
Salt Lake Valley at the Time he left. and but
little in the mountains. He came by route
known only to the Mormons and mountain
eers. BY which horsemen in single file can
mass the army without being discovered.
This route passes between a range of per-
pendicular rocks for thirteen miles, and in
many places is not over three feet wide and
completely covered over with rock roof.
The Mormons are making great prepara-
ton for defending all the passes to the Val
lev. and are manufacturing small cannon
with percussion locks, and telescope sights.
These cannon carry two pound bali, and
from their peculiar construction will do ex-
ecution at distance of a mile and half,
with as much certainty as our common IL
| hes will at hundred and twenty yards.
| They also have mandatory of revoly-
ers, where FIVE hundred are turned out per
week. nla5 = a Ars
They are also manufacturing coarse
powder. which they calculate to use IN the
construction of mines, by which they expect
to be able to blow up train without run
ming any risk themselves. e=
The Mormons and some of the picket
guards of Col. Johnson'si command have
| had skirmish, in which the Mormons lost
two killed and five wounded; and he says
that it is reported that four of Col. John
sons men were killed. ;s- zifaE .-a
He also reports that Col. Johnson's mules
and oxen are nearly all dead, and that it is
believed by the Mormons that johnson viii
not have 'hoof" alive in the spring.
Brigham Young breaches. upon the SUBJ
iect of the war every Sunday. He says
that Brigham is willing. for Gov. Cumming
and the civil officers to come into the terri
tory and enter upon the duties of their off
ees; but if the army attempts to enter the
valley, they will every one be cut off.
On The 24th of January, the day before
Mr.. Wingate left the city, Brigham preach
ed to over nine thousand people, and after
the sermon he requested all who were in IA
vor of giving the troops h-ll, in case they
attempt to enter the valley, to raise up-ey-
cry man, woman and child rose up. Now,
said Brigham, i am satisfied. The Lord
is with us, and if we determine of one ac.
cord to give the troops h--ll the powers on
the earth and hell cannot prevail over us,
for have it revealed to me that not blade
of grass, or other green thing will be left
on the plains for the support of our enemies
Nebraska, Kanzas, Iowa and Missouri will
be made desolate, and a famine will pre-
vail over the land of our enemies. Breth-
rem be of cheer, God is with US and hell can
not prevail against u.s.
We could not learn upon what business
Mr. Wingate was dispatched from the city
but have no doubt but he has important bu-
siness with the Mormons in the States
which will be made manifest in due time -

Fort Scott Matters.

Our readers may rocolleet that the Mis-
souri, papers had report some weeks ago
that Captains Montgomery and Bayne had
taken Fort Scott. We learn that there was
some color of foundation for it, which was
this: Captains Montgomery and Bayne
marched into Fort Scott one fine day, with
80 men, and demanded the surrender of
fourteen of the ruffian marauders who have
so long troubled the peace of the neighbor-
hood, and particularly those who robbed
Mr.. Johnson, as stated in the Lawrence pa
pers. The villains had, however, time
enough to make their escape, which they
did in hot haste = the notorious George
H. Clark, the murderer of Barber, heading
the flight. The better portion of the citi-
zens of the town, far from regarding the
Free State men as enemies, ten1ered them a
sumptuous breakfast at the Fort Scott Ho-
tel, which was duly honored, after which
Captains Montgomery and Bayne quietly
withdrew.
Two companies of U. S. troops are still
stopping at Fort Scott, by order of Gov.
Denver.

A Great Price.

It is understood in Washington that Ben
nett, editor of the New York Herald-th
man whom Daniel o. Connell refused to be
introduced to-will receive the appointment
of Minister Plenipotentiary to Austria. i'm
mediately after Congress adjourns. This is
doubtless in payment for the use of the
Herald in ad. coating the Lecompton infamy.
The time has been when the appointment Of
such a man to such mission would call a
blush to the cheek of Americans but those
times are passed. On the whole it is one
of the best appointments made by the pres
ent "powers that be-, if that is any com
pliment. But our opinion is that Bennett
has made a better bargain with Buchanan
than Buchanan himself made with the
South, and if he has sold himself has a
least got good price. He is most shrewG
and unscruculous soldier of fortune, and
the founder of the Satanic Press.'' He
supported Fremont in 1856 on grounds, Pc
culiar to himself, and when he was defeated
volunteered to pledge his support for 1860
but in the meantime thinks it best to turr
an honest penny BY supporting the wors
acts of the present Buchanan dynasty
Perhaps he is shrewd enough to foresee tha

The National Era furnishes abundant
reasons for the opinion, that there is no dan
ger of the beeompton Constitution being
forced through the Senate in hot haste
There is probably not strength enough in
the Senate to defeat it finally, but there is
too much to permit it to be forced through
without As full discussion as may be nec-
essary4or desirable. ss -
