Salt Lake City, and some place Of
safety with celebrity ..usequalled even an
this age Of improvement or they w'll
quiet down and submit themselves with
a wonderful degree Of humility, to the
authorities Of the United States.
The information by this renegade
Elder may not however, be reliable.
He may have been dispatched to
Fort Feavenworth on amission to spread
false reports ~ to the strength andprep-
rstions of the rebels in order to lead
the Administration to direct some rash
movement Of the Utah Army, which
will lead to its destruction.
Movements of this kind are not un-
known in the history of warfare, an
they have frequently had the effect to
throw an enemy of its guard and give
an opportunity to descend and effect its
defeat.
The fact that no good reason seems
to have been given by Fred. Toby, for
leaving the mormons, throws a plsusi-
bility over this view Of this subject.
Until more reliable information is
received it will be unsafe to suspend,
in the slightest degree, the energetic
steps which are now being taken, for
the prosecution Of the war.

SOUTHERN VIEW OF THE KANSAS QUESTION.
AT the last meeting Of the Southern Con-
vention, held at Knoxville, Tenn, a COM
mittee was appointed to prepare an ad.
dress for the next meeting, on the 10th Of
May. The report has been published, and
We select from it the following paragraph,
on the question of the admission of Kansas
"You are painfully sensible of the pro.
tracted and excited struggle which has, for
seversl'years, been in progress in relation to
the settlement and government of the Ter
ritory of Kansas Finally, the struggle
seemed to have been terminated by the
adoption Of constitution for the Ter
ritory. to constitute it State as soon
as admitted into the Union. With the
details of that controversy we do not pur.
pose TO DEAL We shall speak of the results.
When that constitution was adopted, it was
transmitted to the President, and with a
patriotism. coming as he does from the
North, and with faithful adherence to the
constitutions! opinions of the State rights
party, he submitted it to Congress, with the
recommendation that it should be received
by it, and the State of Kansas left to to cor.
rect the errors, if any were committed, OF
redress the wrongs, if any were perpetrat
ed, of the Territory Of Kansas and thus re-
move the agitation of slavery from Congress,
to whom it in no wise belongs to deal with
the question of slavery in any form, ani
who can NEEDLE with it only for mis-.
chievous purposes, and in violation of it.

The Republican State Committee
Of the State Of Illinois are in guam
dairy.
Ia apporitioning the number Of del
gates to be elected to their approach
ing convention, among the counties,
they have allowed three to Johnston
county.
Now it is so, that in eighteen hun
dred and fifty-six, there were but t~o
republicans in the county that being
the number of votes cast for John
Charles Fremont.
One of these men has moved to
Missouri and the other is now Doug
las democrat.
The committee are therefore, very
naturally puzzled to know how the
county Of Johnson is to be represent
ed in convention.
They will probably arrange the mat
ter by taking persons down from Chi
cago, to act for the unrepresented
counties.
Great is Republicanism.

Our townsman, Jonas Keck. Esq, has sue

ditions-mixed with black sand of the same

Thursday last, however. man by the name
Of Reese brought to our city small guam
tity of black sand, in which could be dis
covered small particles resembling gold,
and which upon examination were pronoun-
ced to be the pure stuff by several gen
tlemen who had been in the mines of Cali
fornia Dr. Baker also tested the same and
pronounced it good gold. Mr.. Reese states
that he found this sand in branch Of Mid

that there is plenty Of it to be had. Sever

Will the Mormons Fight.

The news from Utah, which we pub
Iished in the last issue Of our paper is,
if true, Of great Importance and SUBJ
stanially disposes Of, the question Of
the Mormon rebellion.
Fred. Toby, an elder of the mormon
church. who for some unexplained rea-
son--probably owardice--desert-
ed his partners in iniquity has arrived
1t Fort Leavenworth. lie reports that
the Mormons are in a situation incapa-
BILE of resistance to the United States
forces that they are without cannon
and powder, destitute of confidence in
their. leaders, and entirely dispirited.
He thinks that they will make no re-
distance /; but will, on the arrival Of
Col. Johnston at Salt Lake City quietly
submit and return to their allegiance.
This account substantiates the view
which We took Of the matter a few DAYS
since.
We expressed an opinion that they
were losing confidence in their religion
and their leaders, and would, as the
danger grew more threatening, deser,
almost in a body. And that the,
would not hazard q battle unless tn,
odds were very greatly in their favor
