Adyiccs received here mention that
in short time there will be conccntra
ted on the borders Of Arizona and near
the Northern Provinces Of Mexico, at
least 2 200 armed men, under expert
cnccd leaders. It is understood that
they wiz be invited by the Juarcz Gov
crnmcnt to aid him should it become
necessary to establish his government
permanently. It is expected that Gen.
Waller will meet them from the Pacific
side with q large party, in some Of the
Northern Provinces OF Mexico, probably
Sonora and Chihuahua. An army off

three columns pointed toward Turin
and thus far their march, oxccptat Buf'
falora, twenty i've miles above Pava,
where they carried the bridge at the
point Of the bayonct, appears to have
been unimpedcd.
The French in the mean time have
overcome the passes Of the Alps, and
reached Suza, west within some thirty
odd miles Of Turin, with which capital
they are in communication hyrail. The
forces shipped at Toulon, for Genoa, are
DISSEMINATING there, and going by rail to
Alessandri: and Turin-thc former not
far from fifty miles from Genoa. The
occupation Of Turin is, as was supposed
would be, the advantage for which the
French and Austrians would contend.
At last accounts they were not more
than 80 miles apart and were approach
ing Turin the capital Of Sardinia, the
French from the west and South, the
Austrians from the East.
The Sardinians thus far seem to have
given away, at the approach Of the Aus
TRANS. They undoubtedly are awaiting
for aid from the French.
Upon the arrival of the next steamer
We shall undoubtedly hear that battle
has taken place. Should the war be a
proiracted one, it will result in large
shipments Of grain from our own to Eu.
ropean ports, which the West should be
prepared to supply.

! Reform in The Methodist Church
An important change is discussed
among the NIethodists in regard to the
government Of tho church and tho itin-
crancy Of the ministers. The Laymen' S
Association Of the Cincinnati Conference
recently in session, resolved that itwould
conducc to the welfare oftke whole church
so to change the present system as to
allow OF lay representation in the gen
cral and other conferences. They object
t. being 50 exclusively governed by minis
ters. They further say that"the good
OF their children, the church, and the
world. loudly calls for a moro intimate
relation between pastor and people,
which can only be obtained by more
pro;racte9 stay Of the pastor with the
people, One of the reasons they urge
against the present system Of itincrancy
is, that it is a grevious and unnecessary
burden upon the church. They calcu-
late that in displacing their 900 minis
ters from fields where they have just be-
gun to labor with success, and in rcmoy-
ing them to new ones, where six months
will be required to make acquaintance,
an expense is incurred every two years
Of $40, 600 for removals, and another
$4,000 i'll the depreciation of house
hold goods, making an aggregate which
exceeds tie whole sum contributed by
the Methodist Episcopal church to fore
ign missions. They also reckon that
every two years ola thousand years min
isterial labor arc lost in the process of
removal, and argue that the systom Is
"eStrayasant.' They also protest
against the absorption Of the time Of
ministers in editing, teaching Latin aud
mathematics, and directing book con
Germs, and hold that laymcn may be
found to attend to many things which
now divert many Of their ministers from
their proper work.

Selecting Delegates,

SektCtslEs, NeleSatHS.
The question Of choosing Delegates,
at the State Republican Convention on
the 22d Of June to represent the Rcpub
!icans of this State in the National Con
vcntion Of 1850, we see is still asitatcd
BY some Of the Republican Journals. -
| When the subject was first mentioned
we supposed that it was the wild fruit of
some ultra political brain, which would
DC unanimously rejected by Republicans
as unfit FOR preservation or even notice.
But in this VIC find we were slightly mis-
taken.
We consider the measure entirely to
premature and are constrained to be-
lieye that it is urged by a few, who fancy
they sec in the coming State Convention,
q more favorable chance Of being APP
pointed such Delegates, than they would
have IN 4 convention held some months
hencc. we can account for it in no
otlc, manner. Delegates appointed at
the coming State Convention might not
4 year hence, at the time Of holding the
National Convention, entertain true Re.
publican sentiments. Then the Repub-
licans Of Iowa would be in pretty fix,
most assuredly. The fact is the Repub
lieans Of Iowa when they properly con-
slider the extreme weakne and fool
ishness Of the measure will not SO fetter
themselves as to allow only three or four,
or even dozen men be their only
mouth piece and exponent of princi-
pies for year to come.
Let the measure be scoffed at through
out the State as it deserves and there
will be no danger Of its adoption.

" repeated, when be remarked that he
thought he had better go home, which
was hardly uttered before the blood com
mcnccd flowing profuscly from his mouth
and nose, sank down, was assisted to the

discharging more than gallon Of blood
was corpse, verify, "In tho midst Of

Later from Europe.

It is stated that tho French and Rus.
sian Governments have lately been pro-
curing large supplies Of charts and sur
veys Of the English coasts and english
stations in the Mediterranean, and have
likewise been engaged in making large
purchases Of coal, irrespective Of price
or quality.
1t is also intimatcd that an extensive
order for charts had been received from
the Spanish Government an the infer
cncewas that Spain would throw herself
into the arms Of France. 8
y gun boats Of light draught and
some vessels Of larger size were building
on the Thames for the Spanish Govern.
mcnt.
1t was suggested that Spain might
probably be acting merely as the agent
of others.
Large quantities Of ammunition and
guns were being shipped to Gibraltar
and Malta.
The Times says nearly all the nava!
engineers have their hands full Of foreign
orders.
The Turin correspondent Of the Times
does not think the Austrians will reach

notice that the majority Of the Davcn-

his acquittal, which we take to be true
