 Hon. John Y Mason, of Virginia, U. S. Minister to France, died recently at Paris. It seems to be reduced to certainty. that Sir John Franklin died in June, 1S47. and the survivors abandoned the ship, undertak ing to save themselves by travelling from the coast of King Williams island to the Great Fish river, but perishing in the at tempt. The steamer Fox, sent out by Lady Franklin has returned with many relics of the unfortunate expedition of Sir John.- It is said that Lady Franklin has spent all her fortune and is now living in the south of Franch in comparative poverty It is reported that John A. Washington, the former proprietor of Mount Vernon, has failed. His notes for $175, 900 have been protested in Chicago.

Heat From Coal and Coal Gas.

ltis generally allowed that one pound of coal will evaporate about fourteen pounds of water, supposing all the heat evolved were applied. From the experiments made by Despretz and others, it is conclu- esed that by the combustion of two pounds of pure corbon, l2-3 lbs of water will be evaporated. The superior evaporative power of coal must, therefore, be owing to the bltuminous matter which 1t contains, which bitumen is the source of the gaseous matter envolved when the coal is heated; hence the necessity, when using coal as fuel, of so burning it that the whole of the gaseous matter evolved during the heating of the coal shall be consumed; for, where any part of it escapes combustion, the loss IS considerable. Now, one gallon of water may; be boiled off by the consump- ton ofaboutfrom sevente, ,n to ;wenty-say, on an average, eighteen feet of gas. The quantity of gas which coal affords varies much, according to its quality, of coke or carbon which coal will leave, after being deprlved of gaseous ingredients, must also vary. It is generally allowed that one pound of coal will, on an average, yield about live feet of gas, which, at the rate above stated, will evaporate rather more than e-tourth of gallon, that is, two and a half pounds; but, in addition to the gas which is collected by the decomposition oi coal large quantity of tar and volatile oil is set free. fes

 Mir. EDIroR- In the [" 1Iounta in Meadow Massacre" what is going to be donee As the younger Mr. Weller once remarked on 2 memorable occasion: < Amt nobody to he polished off?" Even the northern ;onr- nals, which in general speak as though we had no lights, are crying out, Awhy does not Arkansas act in the matter?" Aiv own notion is that in every county, town and viii lage, through the whole length and breadth of our State, we ought to cry out, and cry loudly; cry until we are heard; cry until a proper notice is taken of the matter, and that black hearted demon, Brigham Young, and his crew of hell hounds, are made to suffer pecuniarlly.
 Those poor orphaned children! If the general government can not compel the Mormons to make restitution, to pay hea- vily to these poor orphans for their suffer- ings, then Congress should do something for them I merely throw out these rude suggestions, in the hope that some more able pen and brain than mine may take them up and put them into shape.
 Let meetings be held in every county, and let memorial go up to our Senators and Representatives, calling on them to bring this matter before Congress at a very early day in the coming session. Like the Co., ney's 'we are a feeble folk" but like them, let us Ego in bands" We surely have some influence. 5. l..

1Nr. Editor: Circuit court is at this time holding it's fall session in this county. A great many people are in attendance. This is fine court for lawyers, and a large num- Der of foreign attorneys are here The Craig eeiU case is the one in the descison of which the city of Helena, and many heirs in the States of Ky, Lou, and Ark. are interested. Craig, whose will Is sought to be set aside, left an estate of nearly one million of dol lars in value It is the great case in the court of eastern Ark. The contestants of the will appeared in court on the fourth day of the session-came also those for the will. Nothing in this western country which has been the subject of litigation, has brought together such an army of talents-varlous, diversified and business talent. Mir. Pike and A. H. Garland Esqrs are for the con testants and Governor Foot, Morehead and Judge Hanly and Adams, for the will. These are men of eminence-some of state and others of national reputation, and the large and respectable number of gentlemen, and the attention given to the argument of the council-showing by their attention that they regarded the loss of one word as
 
 Garland for the contestants made the clos ing argument He Is a remarkable man his features are those of boy, and his face is almost beardless-in South Arkansas, he stands by himself and discovers vast re- search and extensive penetration as law yer--he is a man of the finest forens elo- quence and though young man, he Is a model of man before a tribunal; and ii his physical power will admit it he is destined to be as familiarity known to the whole American people, as he is at this time to this, the southern portion of Ark. lie leads foi the contestants.
 The only question raised upon this impor- tant case, came up on motion made by !the contestants council to transfer the case from the common law to the chancerv side of the court. The court (the Hon. J. C.. Murray) delivered clear and learned opin- ion upon the point raised, which was con eeded by the court and council concerned ito be one not yet adiudicated by the suprem, court of our State. The opinion was fo the contestants.

Gfg- We are indebted to Capt H. Mont gomery for late copies of the Valley Tan. published at Salt Lake City. We clip | from its columns a portion of sermon made by Elder Hebrew C. Kimball, at the Tabernacle, on the 21st August, 1859:
 When l am at home, tending to my bn siness, thousands of things pass through my mind, that 1 would like to sound to the world, and to this people, as loud as Ga briefs trumpet. Iwould like for those who preside over Gods people in the North and l South America, Europe and the Isles of the sea, to hear me. wish the Latter Dav Saints in foreign countries felt as I feel.- How do l feel? Why, feel as if would come here, if was in foreign land, if had to come without hand-cart, and pacl, my provisions on my back. If I felt as they, though, would do as they do; and if they felt as I feel, they would do just as would do. Laughter. Wherever the prophet is, there is the government, the keys, the power; and where the prophet is, the people of God ought to be gathered to- gether. because with that high authority l all true MOrmOns are connected.
 Brother Pratt said this morning that the main trunk of Gods church was in heaven 1 know 1t; and the roots are there. too. for God and Jesus Christ are there. When Peter. James and John made Joseph Smith prophet single seed was planted. Jo- seph transmitted the specie to other men; and they, ill turn, to others; and now the l stock IS spread abroad over the whole world A single mustard seed will produce a thou sand, and thousand million, and so on This is the way the church of God will 20 on; and has gone on. increasing in power. 1 Now the world don't believe we are Gods people, do they? The world, l say, for it is the same with us as 1t was with Jesus Christ. They who didn't understand him were not of him. but of the world. They were out of the church. They don't believe Joseph Smith was prophet, or Hyrum patriarch, either, do they? They don't be- lieve Brigham Young is a prophet. If they'd known Joseph was prophet they wouldn't have killed him. They wouldn't have killed Jesus if they'd known who he was. Joseph and Hyrum, and thousands of other Mormons, were killed by the peo- pie of the United States, and the majority reioiced over it. Yes, they did; was in Washington, Philadelphia and Cincinnati, about the time Joseph was murdered, and the people said amen to the act
 Many have. gone away from here, and many are here now, who are laying the foundation for our ruin and destruction. I feel towards them as Jesus spoke of the sinners in his day. They'd better have millstones tied around their necks and be sunk to the bottom of the sea. They're drunk, fighting and swearing on the streets all the time. Why don't they do as do? Stay at home, and mind their own business
 All the liquor ought to go to hell, and they who deal in it, and persuade men to drink it, ought ogo to hell along with it. Alright, gentlemen. wish there was more strych-

I An individual on the stand, who was sitting near the one to whom the speaker addressed this aues. tion, gave a negative nod, which act brought forth from the Apostle the following re- buke: didn't speak to you, but to my President. Is that bad wish, brother Pratt?
 Elder Pratt-I don't know. wish 1 could find somebody who'd say no. Well, would be glad if I couldn't control myself if I was killed. But everything is working right. God wants name here on earth, and He'll have it. It's just as God wants it. This looseness never was for you and me. It has been published abroad that they would send missionaries here amongst us. They want to split us up; that's what they want to do. They want the people to vote differently. Have eight or ten candidates running for Congress, for instance, and di- vide the people up so they can't unite on anything. You can't do that, gentlemen; you can't divide the Latter Day Saints; they'll vote alike. If the United States will give us State we will carry the day all the time There would be weight here among these mountains that would turn the scale just as we please. That's the reason they drove us from the States
 Our delegates in Congress, Mir. Bernhisel, thought when he got over the polygamy question, that we had let the last cat out of the bag, but there is something in the bag yet-the cats ain't all out yet. All the cats are going to have kittens, and all the kittens have cats, before they all come out.
 Loud laughter. Some might call that valguar; never mind, gentlemen, it's all true.
 It makes no difference about State. It will be just as God wills When God gives us a State we will have it. He can change the President, House of Representatives and Senate, just as he pleases. He handles them all Buchanan might say one thing to-day, and in five minutes God can change him as quick as 1 could change piece of clay If had turning wheel here.

 New Fork, Oct. 27.-The New York Herald of to-day publishes series of let 1frs rom Col. Forbes, (author of a book up- on guerilla warfare which were found at the house of Capt. Brown. The letters address ca to various members of the republican party, but principally to F. B. Sanborne, Secretary Of the Massachusetts Emigrant Aid Society; pr. s. G. Howe, Boston. Inc letters to Dr. Howe were dated May. 1858. The recipient is requested to show It to oanborne. Lawrence & Co.,, and send copies to Gov. Chase, who had contributed money; also to Gov. Fletcher, who had contributed arms, and to others interested, as quickly as possible. The plans of Forbes and Brown for the liberation of the slaves are gwen in these letters, complains that he had not received the aid promised him for his services, which was to be given to the support of his family. In one of these letters he says that on the 1st of May. 1858, he had an interview with Senator Wm Fl Seward, in New York, and went fully into the matter, whereupon Senator Seward ex pressed his regret that he had been inform ed of the movement. In another letter Capt. Forbes writes to Brown telling him that Amos Lawrence, of Boston, had pro- missed him S7,000 when hoStilities had ac tually commenced. All these letters were written during the year 1858.
 Chanabers6ury, Pa, October 27.-Capt. Cook has been taken to Virginia by the authorities of Charleston.
 Charlestoaon, Va., October 27.-Cant browns counsel are continually receiving telegraph despatches from Ohio bearing testimony of hereditary insanity in Browns family. When 1t was proposed to use these dispatches in Brown defence, he rose from hls bed in the court room and refused to allow his counsel to set up any suchsdefense. The jury in Browns case has been selected.
 Loter,-John Copeland, the mulatto prisoner from Oberlin, Ohio, has made iull confession to United States Marshals Martin, of Va., and Johnson of Northern Ohio. He gives the name of the parties who induced him to go to Harper's Ferry, and states that similar movement was contemplated at the same time in Kentucky. The Marshals have evidence, as they think, of the complicity of prominent men in several of the free States, which will be wlthhled from the public until after the present trials
