New YORK, Jan. 4. The Washing
ton correspondent of the Tribune says
that government has received from Utah
intelligence of an alarming character, in
dicating the prevalence of great excite
ment in the territory, and of settled hos
tility between the Mormons and Gentiles.
Great outrages had been committed by
the Mormons, and a violent outbreak was
apprehended before spring.
Mr.. CoIfax will give notice in the
House tomorrow Of his intention to in
troduce bill to organize new territory,
embracing the South Platte gold diggings
and portions of Kansas, Utah and Ne
braska. The proposed territory will
embrace within its limits the head wa
tiers of the Rio Grande and Platte rivers.
Mr.. Phelps, chairman of the Commit
tee of Ways and Means, says majority
of his committee are opposed radically to
specific duties, and will report bill in
creasing the duties ad vatorem. He also
confirms the statement that the President
had said to him that unless the present
Congress increases the revenue by the
tariff, or authorizes new loan, he will
convene the new Congress early in the
, summer.

A SCoUNDREL,-A man named Cart

ow, Mrs. Walker, with having seduced
her daughter, 10 years of age. He had
paid attention to her for a considerable
time, made her presents, and among them
a large Bible. He also represented him
self as being a minister, and attended
church regularly, often assisting in the

her, and went to the neighboring village
of Youngstown, where he belonged, and
married a girl there. When arrested

The recall of Lord Napier will, ii IS

ment has no part with those who are
seeking to break up the American Union

to see that Union prosperous and happy,
and that its sympathies are with the men
of pure character and noble views, who
are laboring to revive the sound doctrines
of Washington, jefferson and Franklin
upon the question of slavery, and to
emancipate their country from the slave
holding minority which has so long ex-
clusively controlled its policy.
Lord Napier's facile disposition has
made for him many personal friends
He will still be employed, but on mis-
sion of minor importance. His success
