tET We learn from a gentleman, who came down from Covingtor yesterday about noon, three of the notorious twelve, named Joseph Vaughn, William R. Archer, and Joseph Max. we'll whom the grand jury indicated for per jury, in serving in the Bolton case have been arrested and placed in the jail at that place to await trial Another one named Elijah Webb
 against whom a similar indictment has been made, has taken ' time by the forelock" and rendered himself invisible to the eyes of the sheriff, by flight But we understand that faithu officer Is close on his trail, and does not intend to cease pursuit, until he is deposited in the same quarter now occupied by his three above mentioned partners. Joseph Ward, an- other of them, has been sentenced to serve thirty days in the county prison, for cruelty beating bis wife, and he is also recuperating at present on the aforesaid limbo with the others. It is said that there Is another Gndic,ment for aSsaulting some one with intent to kill, han gine over him which he will have to answer as soon as his thirty days imprisonment shall have ex- pired An indictment for murder has been brought against vet another of the celebrated | dozen" named John NJ. Phillips, who, we be- lieve, has given the required bond of ball. The grand jury has also found true bill against William T. Lane, for brbing some of the iury in the same case-he also gave security for his l appearance. This, indeed, is sudden retribution upon those men who have perjured themselves and basely perverted the laws of their country. which should have been as sacred to them as their lives.-Memphis Eagle and Enquirer.

From the Memphis Bulletin Death of Gen. P. F. Smith

By private letter received in this city on yes -erday, by Dr. Irwin, from his brother member of the Utah expedition, we learn the melancholy tidings of the death of Brevet Major General Persifer F. Smith, commander of the Utah forces. This sad event occur I'd on Sunday night last, at half-past twelve o'clock, at the headquarters of the army at Fort Leaven- worth. General Smiths health has been cx- tremely delicate for some time past, ard this event was not at all unexpected by his friends, though he himself contended that he was con- vaescent, and would be entirely restored to health when he once got out upon the plains The disease under which he has been so long suffering was chronic diarrhea, contracted by him while in Mexico. He was never able to obtain permanent relief from the disorder, and during the past month it was very violent, and has at last resulted in his death. His remains were brought to St. Louis Saturday on their way for interment in Pennsylvania, the State of his na- tivitv. His home was in Lousiana

 To EDS. JOURNAL: Having just been rescued from the most dreadful of deaths-that pro- Guced by hydropnia-l will briefly state the case as it occurred. On the morning of the 18th of March last; 1 rose early ani walked out to the gate in front of my house, where was attacked by rabid animal-a cat It sprarg upon me with the ferocity of tiger. biting me on both ankles, taking piece entire ly out of my left apkle. clothing, flesh and al saw at once my hopeless condition, for the garing eyes of the cat told me that It was in d fit of hydrophia. l al once resolved to start forthwith to Terre ilaute, Indiana, expecting there to find a maidstone. Accordingly, iu a few hours, myself and wife were under way, crowding all sail for that port.
 On arriving at Alton, lllinois, we heard of a maidstone seventeen miles from that place, near Brighton Macoupin county, Illinois, belonging to one Samuel Treble. We reached his resi- dence the eighth day after 1 was btten For three days before 1 got there felt the terrible disease coming on; hal a high fever; my eyes were red and swollen with rumbling sounds iii my head; found it difficult to swallow any iquid; my left leg turned spotted as a leopard to my body, and of dark green color, with twitch- ing of the nerves; drank no water for eight days. The stone was therefore promptly ap- piled to the wounds. It stuck fast as a leecll until it was gorged with poison, when it fell ot voluntarily. It was then cleansed with swee, milk and salt and water, and was applied again and 50 on for seven rounds, drawing hard each timc when it refused to take hold any more.- The bad symtoms then all left me, and the cure was complete, and returned to my family and friends with heart overhowing with thanks. giving and praise to God for his goodness and mercy in thus snatching me from the very jaws of death.
 have written this imperfect scrawl, hoping thereby to benefit suffering humanity, and kind ly request you to giveit passing notice in you I excellent journal, and remain, Respectfully, and trvly, yours,

"ThS VIII be Done

The voice Of warning pierces through
life's fold, hourly almost, with peal. Do
We heed it! 1t comes upon US, it speaks
TO ushmid pleasure and selfish pursuit and
heated contest, and eagcrstriying to guide,
to save. Do we obey it? Alas too often
is that voice heard only as the passing
wind that sweeps by Us. And yet there
breathes not the being who does not long
to follow it, who does not feel as if he
must obey it, who does not resolve to be
guided by it. Let it be so. For none OF
us can there be hope or happiness unless
we do it-unless like the true penitent
we can say, Thy will be done" The

Nor lets thee win the lustful Earth's embrace.
There Is no fear--a mighty Hand is at the helm!
All day the the winds of heaven have famed

And the blue ethereal tides have rippled round

While thy sun-paled splendors ceaseless fling
Their softer lights unto the land of seraphim-
While bright ranges the azure ring
To lade with geIns thy waiting wing.

And sagcs say for ages has thou burned

Fed from the unfailing urns
