Military and Naval.


=. The. military and naval exploits of
% President Buchanan, have already made
mark on the pages of history. The
great Utah campo gn will ever stand forth
3 as one of the prominences of this admin.
istration. There is but one instance lin
history that bears any marked resem-
blance u this modern enterprise, and that
: is the invasion of Egypt by the first Ma
polean, and this resemblance is only in
one respect, viz, that no one is able to
assign an adequate motive for either. No
one ever doubted that the oriental expe-
dition was based upon profound policy,
and the inquiries of three quarters of a
century. have produced some plausible
theories, but the solution of this occiden-
tai problem is probably more than any
one will dare undertake
=. But the war is ended before it was be-
gun. The expedition was dragged across
the plains late inthe summer, was blocked
up by snow in the mountains, has dragged
through a. miserable winter, living princi-
pally upon the prospect of glory in the
spring. But here Col. Kane has uugra-
ciously stepped in, and demonstrated that
there is no occasion for bloodshed, thus
cutting off the main supply of the army
the provisions being already used up,
mules excepted
Possibly the affair will have one good
effect, to show that wsrlike expedition
does not certainly furnish blood for the
hounds, nor glory for those who project
and conduct it. So we fatter oursslf the
remote consequence will be peaceful.
1t is defnitively announced that the
war is ended, though it does not yet ap-
pear what course is to be taken with the
expedition, as the Mormons give evidence
of their intention, if an attempt is made
to bring in the troops, to leave the valley
a desolate ruin. Nor is it easy to see
how their existence can be preserved with
out assistance from the valley.
1t seems clear now, that to all practi-
cal purposes the Mormons have triumphed,
and will make capital out of the result.
- The government has spent already some
100000 and the Mormon difficulty
is worse than it was a year ago
On the water the case is scarcely bet.
ter. The government has been on the eve
of declaring war with England, without
one word of communication on the sub.
ject in dispute. The whole disposable
marine force has been sent into the Gulf,
with what orders is not certainly known.
1t now appears that the excuses COM
planned of were committed under an or.
der more than ten years old, and that the
British government is disposed to do just
what the powers at Washington should
. have expected from friendly power,
which, if they had done, our neighbors
across the water would have better reason
to regard .us with fraternal confidence. To
meet the Imaginary exgencies of this case
F. large sums have been expended, and large
appropriations made to increase the navy,
and to deplete the already more than ex-
hausted treasury.
