Rumors of Peace.

For several days we have had reports
and counter reports of the movements of
the Mormons and Gov. Cummings, but the
probability gains strength that Brigham
has determined to retire from the contest.
Gov. Cummings has visited Salt Lake, by
invitation, and was meekly received. War
like revelations have ceased. The Saints
are leaving and preparing to leave, the
emigration seems to tend southwark. Their
plans for the future can as yet be but
matter OF conjecture.
1t is somewhat remarkable that this un-
looked for result has come about through
the endeavors of private individual, Col.
Kano, son of the late Judge Kane, and
brother of the Arctic adventurer, who by
earnest solicitations obtained from the
President some sort of unofficial credence,
and repaired to Utah on his mission of
peace. His success is as mentioned above.
Col, Kane was on terms of intimacy with
the dignitaries of the Mormon Church, and
having received Kindness at their hands in
time of distress, he was moved to repay it
in this way. In view of his success, it
will strike most people as exceedingly
strange that some such diplomacy had not
been attempted before. We have from
the first been of the opinion that war
like demonstration was not at all distsste-
full to the government, nor has there yet
been any demonstration that the Executive
is at all elated with the prospect of peace
by such means. Sure it is, that multi

The WOMAN WHO LIVES WITHOUT EAT

incredulous as to their entire reliability.
We have recently conversed with the Rev.
Mr.. Boudrie, clergyman now in atten-

has critically examined the case, which is
we believe within his charge. This state
msnt fully confirms those already publish.
ed. The lady, Mrs. Hays, has taken no
food since July LIST, 1855, nearly two
years. and no beverage for fifteen months.
Her sustenance is entirely from the atmos.

flesh, and the skin is as delicate as that of
an infant. The action of the lungs is reg

long spasms. and when these pass of she
appears to suffer pain, of which she is
conscious, though, of hsr consciousness at
any time there is doubt. We are inform.
ed that during prayer, which was offered
in the room, she remained perfectly quiet
till the close, when the spasms Immediately
returned, and this is invariably the case.
There need be no longer a suspicion that
the case is fabulous, nor is there reason to
suppose that it may not continue for years

TRAVELLERS Letters from President
LABARRE's party, received during last

May Sd. Their passage in the Wander

Havre, April Goth; they had a day at
Rouen, reached Paris Oh the 22d, and
would leave for Naples by way of Mar

delicate Of the party was improved, and
they had enjoyed the sights of the French
capital in the bloom of the season. Mr..

The British Cruisers.

At present, by far the most exciting
subject before the country, is that Of the
liberties taken by the British cruisers in
the Gulf, in boarding and searching YES
sells sailing under the American flag on the
suspicion Of thor being slavers. 1t is un-
doubtedly true that the slave tra de has
been of late greatly expanded, and that
American vessels and the American flag
are generally used for the purpose, 1t is
also true that the British have been
unusually vigiapt of late in attempting to
suppress the trade. 1t is also alledged
that the liberties taken have been, in
some instances, unwarrantable and such
as our government cannot permit. Nu-
merous complaints have been made, and
Congress has resolved upon an investiga-
ton. The most probable explanation of
the matter is that the cruisers have been
instructed to use more vigilance, and that
they have exceeded their instructions.
1t is quite fortunate for the government
that, Just now, such Diversion of the
public mind should occur. The admins
tration will, Of course, make good use Of;
but there is no reason to fear that our re.
lations with England will be disturbed
There Is no reason to doubt that that gov
ernment is acting in good faith, and if
any of their officials have gone into any
excuses, all due repsration will be made.
There is one thought in connection with
this subject, which imperatively suggests
itself to every one who has the right kind
of sensibilites touching our national honor.
Why is it that slavers a Z sail under our
flag? Why is it that the emblems of our
nationality can be prosttuted to the most
villainous of purposes without exciting
honest Indignation in every part Of the
land &? It is fact that the stars and
stripes do give protection to the vile trafc,
and every true lover Of his country can
hardly fail to feel the humiliation. Would
this be if our government had the same
disposition, in good faith, to carry out the
compact for its suppression that Great
Britain has2 The fact that such use Of
our flag is habitually made, while little or
nothing is done by us to prevent it, is a
foul blot upon our reputation, and we are
not sorry to have the attention of the
country called to it even under such cir
cumstances as the present. Sensitiveness
to injustice and dishonor by improper lib
critics taken with our vessels, is quite prop
er, and in that We should never be lack
ing. We would have every infringement
of the kind investigated. But, while in
this respect we vindicate ourselves, let it
be remembered, that there still rests upon
us the shame of conniving at and indi-
rectly aiding the slave trade, which we are
able, and in duty bound to exterminate.
