STRANGE Conquer OF Gov. CUMMING.-The
following is an extract from private letter to a
gentleman of ST. Louis dated Great Salt Lake
City, Jnne 3d.
''You have heard how our corpnlent Govern
or has been 'steptoed' by the Mormons. He
seems to be almost insane. He takes pains to
quarrel with every Gentle within his reach,
from Gen. Johnston, the Commissioner and
Judge Eckels, down to your humble servant, and
to affiliate with the worst cutthroats in the
whole Mormon community. He is alternating
the only true friends he has-the only persons
on whom he can expect to lean when he finds
that he has been fooled by Brother Brigham
"The very table on which am writing has
on it evidence of the rascality of the Mormons in
respect to the mail. Il am scrawlng this to you
in the post-ofice) Directly in front of me is
pile of letters, all of which have been opened by
steaming them until the gum on the envelope
ceased to stick, or by cutting open the ends of
the envelopes and sticking them carefully to-
gether again.
"They call the present condition of affairs
harmony; or at least the Governor calls it so,
but there is not Gentle in the city who does
not sleep with a revolver under his pillow.
"The vanguard of the army is expected to ar
rive tomorrow, and then we shall breathe freer.
If General Johnston had the supreme civil pow
er of the Territory in his hands, as he has the
military, We might HAYES durable peace. As it
is, this patched-up mess of Governor Cummings
will cease to stick as soon as it is steamed.

Reform Needed.

Wepublish in another column an article from
correspondent elected by our statement OF last
week in regard to county expenditures. Ihe
writer is beyond question correct in the opinion
that great many of the evils to which the
people are now subjected may be traced to fun
damental mistakes in the organic law, and we
need not say that we should most heartily coop
crate in any movement which gave promise OF
amendment in that instrument. Nine-tenths OF
those who were most clamorous for radical
changes in the old Constitution and best salts
fed with the accomplishment of the object IN
the adoption of the new, are now convinced
that they were in error, and would gladly &c
back to the old regime. The people begin to
feel the effects of their radicalism in their peck
cts, and it is possible that under the pressure Of
such powerful arguments, they might be pre-
pared to retrace their steps and unite in move
ment for another Convention.

stanton Steam Min.

~ 4 company of gentlemen in this place have
nearly completed an extensive steam mill in the
vicinity of town, which promises to be great
public benefit, and will, We hope, lead TO the e.
rection of other manufacturing establishments
in our community. Being situated on the Gen.
trail Railroad, near the Freight Depot, aud have
ing track running up to the door, flour can be
''shipped" to market directly from the mill, thus
saving the producer the trouble and expense OF
one trip with lis team. As the machinery,
moreover, is operated by steam, grinding wiilsse
carried on independently of low otJhigh water,
and the various accidents to which water power
mills are subjected.
The dimensions of the main building are 20 by
10 feet; it is GO feet from the basement to the
ridge of the roof and has four stories exclusive
of the basement The engine house is 30 by So
feet. All of the machinery is made of iron.-
The engine, built by the Corliss Steam Engine
Company, Providence, r. l., rates at 60 horse
power, and is on the most a Bowed principles
and of the best construction. The regularity
with which il r5as is remarkable.
The mill will have three run of wheat burrs,
one corn burr, one small middlings burr, and
plaster crusher 1t is expected that from $50 to
200 barrels of -four will be manufactured in q
day The boltiug apparatus will be double, so
that two lots of wheat can be ground at the
same time. Lump plaster will be imported by
the ship load. Mr.. Jacob Wister, mill-wright
from Greencastle, Franklin county, Pa, is now
putting up the mill works.
In connection with the -four mill there will be
6 barrel and planning machine This machinery,
which has just arrived, was made by Mr.. FL. A.
Richardson of Worcester, Massachusetts, and
will turn out, it is said, better aud cheaper
barrel than is now used here. 1t is expected
that part of the machinery Of the mill will be
in operation in about six weeks.
Mr.. David Bucher, of this place, is the builder
of the mill house &C., and Mr., S. A. Richardson
has the general superintendent Of the works.

DEERFIELp, August Sd 1858.


Messrs. Editors Dame Rumor having been
unusually busy for the last eight or ten days in
spreading the report that a blowing cave had
Just been discovered in Walker mountain, near
Rocky Spring, and about IA miles from Deerfield,
company of gentlemen and ladies repaired
thither on the End inst, for the purpose OF see
ing for themselves. They found the place point
ed ont, aud discovered several small openings a.
mong the rocks from which the air came out
The principal entrance appeared to be closed by
a large rock which had fallen so rs to cover the
mouth of the cave. Suitable implements being
procured, the rock was removed, when all were
delighted to behold quite large opening by
which strong current of air issued. The open
ing, however, is not large enough to permit any
one to cutter, but it is believed, with little Ia
Dor, may be sufficiently enlarged. A gentleman
present, who was well acquainted with the
Windy Cove in Bath CO., remarked that the
air in this is cooler than in that cave. It's pro-
posed to call it The Rocky Spring Blowing
Cave Those visiting it will not tind Pendie-
ton Volcano. IL.

The Secret Diplomatists.

The fact is admitted that both Wykotf and
Grund are employed in the secret service of our
Government. The friends of the Secretary OF
State. Gen. Cas-, have deemed it necessary, how
ever, to declare that he had no part in their Sc
lection or appointment, but that they were sent
Sorosd without his concurrence and against his
advice. This is beautiful state of things. The
appointment of diplomatic agents, and theman
agelnsnt of affairs with foreign countries gener-
ally, are matters peculiarly intrnsted to the
Secretary of State but that officer is not per-
United in this case to select those who are to be-
brought into close and confidential relations
with him, aud two obnoxious individuals are
forced upon him against his remonstrance. 1t
seems to US that an indiguty has been put up
on the venerable Secretary, and that an itnme-
diate resignation of his office would have been
more proper than such disclaimer his friends
have made for him.
Wykuff and Gruna are connected 10 some way
with the New York Herald, which is now rec
oguized as prominent organ of the Admins
tration. The appointments were probably made
to conciliate that influential journal. The Pres
ideut has appointed another protege of the Her
aid, John Nugent, special agent to keep the
peace between the British and Americans at the
Frazer river gold mines. Nugent is the man
who several years ago obtained, surreptitiously,
treaty which the Senate had been discussing
in secret session. and published it in the Herald.
This circumstance was enough to discredit him
with any Administration, but it has been no OBJ
stacle to his preferment by President Buchanan.

ssFair Play.3,

A correspondent OF the Richmond Enquirer,
who writes over the signature "Fair Play" en-
deavors to excite party prejudice against MIR.
Letcher by referring to his support of McD.
Moore in preference to Jacob Baylor, when these
gentlemen were opposing candidates for the
State Senate. In great ignorance of the facts OF
the case, or total disregard Of flair play" he al
leges that Mr.. Baylor was ''the regularly nomi-
mated candidate of the Democratic party" Mr..
BAYLOR was the nominee of 10 party, and, al
though Democrat, entirely ignored party poll

A Year Ago.

At this date last Year small sales of new fam
ily flour were made in Richmond at Eleven Dol
lars per barrel. We have as yet heard OF no
salss of new -four this year. At Baltimore, at
the same date last year, city ground family flour
was selling at Ten Dollars.
At this date last year it was estimated that
there were at least three thousand visitors OF the
various watering places of Western Virginia
strangers. 1t is believed that the number this
vase is much greater Last year there were O.
YER two hundred visitors at Stribling Springs

For the Spectator.

INessrs. Editors Your notice of our County
expenditures in your paper of the Sd, and the
suggestion to the County Court that committee
be appointed to investigate the subject is highly
commemorate and the Court ought to act upon
it at once. The tax payers ought 10 know how
this unprecedented state of thing is brought a.
bout.
You further call attention to the fact that
there has been a yearly increase in the number
of delinquent tax payers in the County ever
since the new Constitution went into operation.
Upon this would make another suggestion to
the County Court, that they order the delinquent
list to be published in the papers of the town.
But whether your suggestion or mine Will a.
vail anything is quite doubttul-it is striking
upon the surface. II we are to get rid of the
evils complained of we must strike at the root,
and the root of the evils and hundred Others that
might be mentioned lie within that new Consti-
tuition referred to.
Contrast the present state of things with the
existence of things before the adoption of the
new Constitution. Our State Taxes have been
more than doubled, our County levy has been
thribbled, the delinquent list mutiplied-tbe
Legislature, County Courts and Corporation au
thorities all unbridled and running into the
widest extravaganza, until things will soon
reach point that not only all that we can earn
by our labor, but all that we have, will b. re
ouired to pay the assessments that will be levied
upon US. No man, however good his capacity,
can now go into business upon small capital in
the town of Staunton and make anything for
himself; the whole surplus will be required to
pay his public dues.
Legislation cannot cure the evil, nor Can the
Courts whilst there is defect in the organic law
Jet us therefore unite in striking at the root OF
the evil and call upon the people TO strike for
Convention. The argument that things will on
" be made worse is easily met with the reply
that they are as bad as they can be. The ex-
treme has been run and now is the time to mend.
Will you now unite, Messrs. Editors, in vigo-
rous effort to save ourselves from being sold
both body and soul? If you will not will say
with Col. Benton, SOLITARY and alone, put the
ball in notion" y.

Gas.

Every now and then We hear the whisper that
an effort is about to be made to introduce gas
into Staunton. The gas generally ends in
smoke. The whisper dies away into silence, and
we burn candles, oil, lard and fluids Of every
dangerous description, for twelve-month long
er. This ought not to be so! Everywhere else
people are getting their eyes accustomed to gas
light, and in selecting new home they will not
be apt to think of choosing a city so far behind

Fire in Staunfon.

On Friday night last, between II and II o.

Bank, were destroyed by fire. One of the sta
bles was used by Messrs. Staples, Martin & Co.,

kept in the former were got out before the flames
reached them. The fire originated in Mrs. Nc
