DEATH On HON. RUFrs CHoArE


The Geographic dispatch which reached
this city yesterday forenoon, announcing the
death of Hon. Rufus Choate, at Halifax. Gre
ated profound feeling Of regret and cast
shadow over the entire city. Mr. Choate
has been in feeble health for several months.
but it was believed to have been occasioned
by over exertion in the performance of his
professional duties, and that relaxation and a
change of scene would restore him again to
his accustomed health and strength. With
this belief, he made preparation for Euro
pean tour. and he started about a fortnight
since. in one of the Cunard steamers. for
England. When the vessel arrived at Hall
fax, Mr.. Choate concluded not to continue
his voyage, and left the ship at that place.

FROM THE TERRITORY or UTAH.

I FROM THE TERRITORY OF UTAH.
Recent intelligence from Salt Lake City
states that the United States District Court
met there, Judge Sinclair presiding, July 25th.
4 grand jury being cmpannelled, two Mormon
attorneys moved, on behalf Of clients, to
quash the array Of the grand jury, upon the
ground that they we're not summoned accord
ing to the statute of the Territory, which pro-
vides that the grand jurors shall be selected
by the clerk of the county court. These
motions were ovcrrulcd by the Court and the
statute thus declared by him 10 be invalid.
The first case taken up, that of Mcneil against
Brigham Young, for false imprisonment, was
found to be ended by Mcneil having been
murdered by the Danites The next case,
one Of murder was rendered abortve by the
Mormons having run off the main witnesses.
The third case, which was against the two
Mormons charged with forging Government
drafts, came to a stop because the main wit
ness, John Wallace, sent letter 20 the Judge
dated Camp Floyd. saying that he had been
warned that IL he came TO Salt Lake city to
testify, he would be murdered. The Judge
read the letter to the grand Jury, and order
cd the Marshal to take a posse and place the
said court under the protection of the Govern
Went. Anothor case, which was civil SUIT
against Hickman, a notorious DANTE leader,
was put off to be compromised, aud soon
afterwards the Danites surrounded the house
of the plaintiff, Drown, and killed him. Thus
it went on through the whole term, and
correspondent says:
"lho Federal Judge having recently made
complaints to the proper Departments in re-
gard TO the official conduct of Mr. Wilson,
the United States District Attorney for this
Territory, he will leave for Washington about
the 18th instant, in company with Mr.. Hoop
er the newly elected Mormon delegate for
Congress, in order to justify himself before
the Administration. In his absence he has
deputised Hosea Stout, most bitter Nor
mon, and the attorney of the Mormon church
and Of the DANTE organization, to act in his
place
The Hon. Charles f. SINGLES, Judge Of
the District, by request of his associates, will
also leave for Washington, via California, to
represent properly the condition ofthe Federal
Judiciary here and TO suggest measures for
lis proper relief at the hands Of the Adj
ministraton and Congress. North Ancri-

WHOLE NO. 2765.

WAsHfNGroN, Sept. 25.--Colonel Rankin.
Register Of the Land Office at Olympia, Wash
lngton Territory has arrived here from the
Island OF San Juan. He reports that if tho
intentions OF Gov. Douglas had beon carried
out there would have been a collision between
the British and American forces, as the Sat
elite and Plumper had orders from him to
fire, but Admiral Bayne opportunclv arrived
and superseded him in the command of the
English s-ips Of war, five in number. The
original misunderstanding was with the Hud-
son Bay Company, the interests of which were
represented by Douglas. The Island Of San
Juan had been in the occupancy Of the Amer
leans for at least Is months, nobody seeming
TO question their rights, and has been for a
long period considered and treated in all re-
spects as belonging to Washington Territory.
1t was not until Gen Harney applied to and
was informed by Boundary Commissioner
Campbell, that our title to the Island was
clear and certain, that he dispatched troops
thither at the earnest request Of the residents,
who claimed protection from British agrees
slon' and especially from the predatory incur
slons of the Northern Indians. who had even
taken and held possession Of lighthouse for
three days, and against whom private expedi-
uons had repeatedly been sent to chastise
them. Col Rankin says the people of Wash
ington and the Pacific States are unanimous
for our retention of the Island, and such is
their enthusiasm that il the United States
should be directed to vacate it, private par
ties IN formidable numbers would Immediate
ly occupy that important position. and net
surrender 1t without a severe struggle. But
1t Is not supposed in this city that our troops
will be withdrawn as this would be consid-
cred as an admission that our title is clearly
disputable. 1t may not be generally known
that our government has recently confirmed
bluff Of land containing many acres for a mil
itary reservation, if anything farther north
than San Juan.
Our government having sent Minister of
full grade to Vienna, that of Austria has rais-
ed Mr.. Hulsomann to an equal rank The
latter will soon return to Washington.
The whole amount Of the public land sur
vcys. as returned to the General Land Office,
for the year ending with the present month,
is nearly $4,000 miles, or about fifteen mil
lion acres.

ROME, n. Y, Sept. 20.--Prof Coe, accom-
panied by Mr. Coltman of Rome. made a
balloon ascension here to-day from the Fair
Grounds. The county fair being in session.
there were ten thousand spectators The as
cens,on was fine. AT the height Of two miles
the balloon burst, turning up in the top Of
the netting, thus forming parachute. The
voyagers, after a perious and exciting de-
scent, landed safely in a swamp, three miles
from their starting point. There was intense
excitement among the crowd below during
the descent.
EXPLOSION OF A BALLOON. Tho Utica
On. ~ Herald furnishes the particulars con-
cernng the bursting of the balloon in which
Messrs. Coe and Coltman ascended from the
fair grounds at Rome, on Thursday last, and
of the involuntary descent of the eronants
The voyagers started at four o'clock and
rapidly attained an altitude of two miles,
their balloon constantly expanding from the
heat OF the sun. They struck the easterly
current and were proceeding at the rate of
thirty miles an hour, and were in fine spirits.
when, about twenty minutes before FIVE, Mr.
Coe discovered that the apparatus connected
with the satety-valve was deranged, and be-
yond remedy. He at once attempted to dis
charge the gas from the upper valve in order
to descend. The valve worked we'll, but the
pressure on the safety valve from the lower
part of the balloon was SO great that an ex-
plosion ensued, causing a rent forty feet in
length, In about one minute after, the de-
scent rapid as to increase the rent
about fifty feet, thus leaving almost the entire
upper portion of the air vessel open. In half
a minute after the second rent was discovered,
there was not foot of gas in the balloon.
For nearly half mile the voyagers came
down at a most terrific speed-feeling the
same sensation that one experiences in swing
in rapid motion.
After falling half a mile the main portion
of the balloon was thrown on one side of the
netting, causing the air vessel to sway vio-
lently, and the basket and passengers were
raised to an even hight with the valve of the
vessel itself This motion was experienced
several times, and as often was broken by tho
of the nronauts in changing
their position in the car. Finally this sway
ing motion was increased by the voyagers un-
til they succeeded in forming a parachute of
the remnants of the balloon, when the rapid
rate Of speed in their descent was measurably
lmpeded. During the last half mile before
reaching the earth their rate of speed was but
a triHo more rapid than that of the ordinary
decent of well-ordered balloon. On near
ing the earth some ballast was thrown out,
a'd the @ronauts landed in a forest without
the least bodily harm
