UrAH-More trouble in Mormondom- We have not space now for full account of the matter. Judge Sinclair threatened to hold court at Provo with the army camp ed there to enforce the orders of the court This, it was feared, would bring about a collision between the troops and the mili- tia. We have read both sides, and it is difficult to tell which is right. The judi cial party contend that the Mormons are wholesale murderers and evidently want to put half the leading men on trial. The Gentiles and troops lock up the judges and evidently want to fight. The other side deny that they wish to resist the law, but but accuse the judges of tyranny and perse- cution. Gov. Cummins appears to be pur- suing conciliatory course.

TIE BLACK MAN IN MAssACHUsETTA- The Boston Courier in featuring Carl Churz, the Wisconsin German Republican, who went to Boston to set the Yankee re- publicans right on political questions, thus enumerates the privileges of the negro in the State of Massachusetts:
 Here the colored man votes; here colored children and white children go to the same school; here the races are allowed to inter- marry, and, as we have seen, they do not fail to avail themselves of their privileges. And there is nothing in the laws of the State to prevent colored mans serving on jury, if the subordinate functionaries on whom the duty of selecting iurymen is devolved choose to put him there The black man there stands on perfect equali- ty with the white man except that he can not serve in the militia; and for this the United States are responsible, and not the State
 The white man, if he be born in a for eign land, if republicanism can have Hs' way, cannot vote for two years after he is declared to be citizen-he cannot serve on the jury, but, if his adopted country de- mands his help, he must shoulder his 5,,as- ket, the day he is naturalized, and <til his life and shed his blood in her defense. -CeUelaud Deuocr0t

Austrians.

Suppose the above to represent Sardinia- The Austrlans have entered and occupying It's northeast portion, and so far have en- countered no real opposition. But thevap proach the two lines which the Sardnians have fortilied-the river Dora, running north and south, and the river Pc, running east and west. These two lines at right angles to each other may be supposed to meet at Turin, the Royal city, which the Austrians hope to capture
 It IS evident that the Austrians cannot proceed westward to break through the line of the river Dora, without leaving their left flank exposed to attack by the line of the river Pc. Nor can they proceed southward to break through the line of the river Pc. without leaving their right flank exposed to assault by the line of the river Dora Which ever direction they choose, they have no guard against an enemy menacing their flank and rear, besides the one in front. The only alternative is to divide their force and assail both lines simultaneously But this involves the necessity of weakening their strength by dividing it.
 The French, meantime, are marching in to the aid of the Sardinians by the two dot ted lines. Those who have come by sea are landing at Genoa, and pushing up to rein | force the line on the Pc. Those who have come over the Alps are pressing forward from SuSa to reinforce the line on the Dora As both points are connected with Turin by railway, the result is easily made, while the AuStrians have the disadvantage of be- ing in an enemy's country, where roads will be blocked, bridges burned, fields food ed, and everything done to retard them It looks somewhat as if the easy victories which have given the Austrians control of quarter of the kingdom were only trap to catch them between two lines of troops l r,l 1.r11ch thnr,,
