St. Louis, March l2-The Council

Winegate had just arrived from Salt Lake,
having left there January 25.
The Mormons are manufacturing small
cannon, with percussion locks and tel
escopic sights, which will carry two
pound balls one hundred and twenty
yards, and with much more certainty than
the common rifle. They are also manu-
facuring FIVE hundred revolvers weekly.
Coarse powder, for mining purposes. is
also being manufactured.
A skirmish had occurred between the
Mormons and picket'guard of the army,
in which two Of the former were killed,
and four Of the the latter were report
ed killed. .- .....
Brigham Young says he is willing the
civil officers OF the Government should
come to the Territory and enter upon

Classical and Refined

The following, from the Richmond
South, will commend itself to the admira-
ton of our readers, for its rhetorical ele,
gance, the classic smoothness of its peri
DDS and the polished refinement Of its sen.
timent. In this roughenihg world, it is
pleasant to reflect that chivalrous courte-
sy has still an abode in the Old Dominion
TO thegreasy psalm singer ofthe north,
to the trucking Yankee, the stupid, un-
couth, unpublished Ohioan; to the mongrel
population of New York; to the hetero-
geneous mass of the northwest; TO the
German, the Dutchman, the Irishman;
to whatever persons, from whatever cline;
to all save the great, the gifted, the on
ly pure representative of the great An
glo Saxon family Of the South, the whole
territory of the Union is free, is open; but
to us and our institutions forever it is to
be andremain "terra incognita," a para
disc where we dare not tread--a para
disc denied to the great southern family
but to be filled up and polluted by the
human vermin, the toads, the unclean
beasts, from all parts of the inhabitable
globe, but that where the man approach,
es nearest the form Of his maker.

They must have had quite an exciting
time in the U. s. Senate on the 10th
inst. Green, Of Missouri the pro Slavery
leader in that body, and Simon Cameron,
Republican Senator from Pennsylvania,
had little brush. Green attempted to
intimidate anil brow-beat the old Penn
sylvania printer, but soon discovered that
he had "waked up the wrong passenger"
The lie passed between them, and Green
was very much excited while old Penn
sylvania was as cool as cucumber. All
that nigger-driver makes off of Simon,
he can put in his pipe very conveniently.

~The Anti-Lecompton Democratic
Convention, held at Columbus on the 10th
inst, the Statesman says, was the largest
political assemblage ever held at the Capt.
tol. That paper, however, is SO much in
the habit of indulging in "Roorbacks, ,
that we receive the announcement with a
good deal Of allowance. We learn from
other sources that the meeting was large
and enthusiastic. Ex-Secretary Stanton
addressed the crowd, and speeches were
also delivered by several of the most
prominent Democrats in the State.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia North american, writes that
arrangements have been perfected for
holding a great anti Lecompton meeting at
Chicago within month, at which all the
North. Western States are to be represen-
ted. From the cast of the demonstra-
ton, it will probably exceed in numbers
any assemblage since 1910. when acres

Great Pistol Match

Mr.. Jno. Travis, who has established d
a pistol gallery in Louisville, KY, has
Just closed the most extraordinary wager
we have ever heard of. 1t is no less than
bet of thousand dollars that lie will
hit an orange placed on the head Of a boy
at ten PAGES; also shoot onein each hand
Of the boy. The wager is with Samuel
A. Suydam, Of New York, and the
match is 10 come off at Louisville on the
18th of June. The following are the
terms of The match: Travis bets Suydam
1000 that he will find a boy who will
stand at the distance of ten PAGES and will
place an orange, not to exceed two and a
half inches in diameter, in each hand, and
one upon his head, which Travis will
shoot from their respective localities, no
object to intervene between the boy and
the oranges. If Travis fails to find the
boy who will stand, or fails to hit the or
anges in the three shots, or any shot
touches the boy, he looses the bet The
match is to be shot in Louisville, June Is.

Rotating Members of Congress,

In all the great contests between the
North and South in our national Legisla-
ture, il has been evident that the North
has always labored under serious disad-
vantages from want of parliamentary eX-
perience in its members. On the other
hand, the power and influence of the South
have been greatly augmented by the leg
islative experience of the champions of her
interests.
1t is true, the Northern members are
not to blame for this unfortunate state OF
things, for in large majority Of instan-
ces, they are not permitted 10 occupy
their seats long enough 10 become suffi-
GENTLY acquainted with parliamentary
usages end tactics to be capable Of coping
successfully with men who have the ad-
vantage of almost lifetime of expert
ence.
Examine the list Of Southern members
of each successive Congress, and you
will Invariably find large proportion of
their representatives TO be men who have
been fighting the battles Of the South SO
long that they have learned the trade
thoroughly. Is it any wonder then that
they are more than a match for the new
men that the North generally sends 10
Washington to take care of her interests?
1t is true, that in point Of talent and learn
ing Northern members are far superior to
their Southern compalriots, but then they
have scarcely become acquainted with the
most simple duties Of a Congressman un
til they are rotated out, and another batch
Of green material rotated in.
If we want useful and efficient repre-
sentatives in Congress let us, when we get
hold of a promising apprentice, permit him
to remain there until he has become thor
oughly acquainted with the duties of the
position to which we have called him.
Then, and not till then may we expect to
heve champions who will be able to lead
the Northern column 10 victory when the
two sections Of this country are ayrayed
against each other as they are just at this
time.
This result, however, will never be
brought about until the people make up|
their minds 10 attend to their own bust
ness, instead of leaving it in the hands o.
corrupt, designing politicians, who will al
ways rotate good man out of Office and
a bad one in, ifby doing SO they can in
the least promote their own selfish ends

William III, Gibson,

We understand that from discoveries
recently made in the affairs of the Sene-
ca County Bank, that the men who are
on Wn. Ii. Gibson's bail bond, have de-
termined to release themselves and give
him up. Mr.. Gibson was in this city on
Saturday, and having ascertained that
the sheriff had orders to arrest him he
left suddenly and escaped. We have not
heard if he has been arrested since or not
1t appears to us if the reports concerning
the Seneca County Bank are true, that
there are other parties besides VIM. H.
Gibson who ought to be arrested. The
stocks deposited in the Treasurer's Office,
upon which the bills were issued, and
which were held as security for the re-
demplion of the notes, have been exhaus-
ted and it is believed by some Of our bank
ers that there is very large sum yet in
circulation, some putting it at as high
figure as one hundred thousand dollars.
II this be SO, there has been crimnalty
not only in issuing the bills, but also in
receiving Of them. These transactions
were made during the time that John G.
Bresin and William II. Gibson were
rreasurers of State, and have only been
discovered by Mr.. Stone, the present
Treasurer -t
Since the above was in type, we have
learned from the Attorney General that
The bail had to be renewed at this time,
and the probability is that the parties de-
clined to renew. The bail is probably
the largest ever demanded of any party in
Ohio 1t is one hundred and ten thou
sand dollars. His counsel have hereto
fore tried 10 induce the Attorney General
to permit reduction of it, but without
success. 1t is believed by Mr.. Gibson's
friends here that he has not left the Stale,
and does not intend to: and that hearing
the fact he returned directly to Tifin to
endeavor to get the parties to consent to
renew the bail.-O. s. Journal.

The telegraph advises us that gene
raj Bankrupt Law, engineered by that
robust old Wing, now the Senatorial lea
der Of the Democracy, is an Administra,
ton measure, and therefore part and par.
Gel of Democratic policy. The New York
Herald, the metropolitan organ of the
Administration, says that TooMB's Bank,
ruptcy Bill is 'for the protection Of credi.
tors, the relief ofinsolvent debtors, and to
regulate the commercial intercourse Of
the different States, including banks and
all corporations says the Herald.

SENECA COUNTY BANK BILLs.-The
notes of this Bank, as we learn, have
been refused by the State Treasurer, and
no provision is now made for their pay
ment. Large amounts appear to be still
in circulation, and the loss and sacrifice
must fall chiefly on those least able to bear
it.
The notes on the Canal Bank are also
worthless, the Agents of the State having
defrauded the honest bill-holder, who
has looked to the securities pledged with
its officers for payment.-Clep Herald,

Gets his Reward.

W. D. Morgan, who has been battling
for Buchanan and Lecompton with much
earnestness, has received his reward in
the form of an appointment 10 the New.
ark 70. Post Office. We presume three
fourths of the Lecompton editors of Ohio,
have either received appointments from
the President. or have such in prospect.
Post Offices, Custom Houses, &C., have
been the means of securing the Presi.
dent very many friends.
