CREE OF TTTT0AGA DEpOSING NIP ANON

To his ErcelJency ID. Michael Miramaon &c:
Most Excellent Sir:-In entrusting to your Ex-
cellency the supreme command of the nation, nam
ing you President substitute during my tempo
rary separation, not only proposed to myself the
plausible purpose that you should effectually carry
on your campaign against the rebels at Vera Cruz,
but estimating at its Just value the conduct of
Excellency with respect to the revolutionary
movement which took place short time previous
V in the capital, | intended that when you had
succeeded in re-establishing the laws, and when
all classes unanimously approved that act, you
might more easily, by availing yourself of those
circumstances, arrange for yourself an honorable
withdrawal. The manifesto, which your Excel
lency addressed TO the National Palace strengthens
my opinion; since, with a noble disnterestedness,
you declared that you had accepted such an inves-
tture solely and exclusively for the time necessary
to the obstacles which then presented them
selves, and to bring to a termination the recon
quest OF the most important port in the republic,
protesting that you would surrender such power
afterwards to the proper person. Two periods
have passed during the course of fifteen months,
and immense efforts have been made by all classes
of society to assist your Excellency in the consum
nation of that object, and since late events a
conclusive proof that other measures ought to be
adopted to save the country in the present danger
crisis, | as the only one responsible before God
and my fellow wcitizens, as being the legitimate rep
resentative of the plan of Tacnbaya cannot be in
different to the evils which a1lct my country nor
still less hesitate to face the present occasion pro-
noting whatever NAV be conducive to her weIi-be
ing and prosperity. For the reasons given and the
obligation am under of furthering bv everv pos
sible means the paci6cation of the republic have
resolved as your Excelency will see by the accom-
panylng decree, to re-assume the supreme authori-
ty as President ad interim, which am, being from
this moment in the full exercise of my functions
With considerations of the highest esteem,

SHOOTING AFFRAY PORTSMOUTH, VA.-An affray
took place in Portsmouth. Va, on Monday night,
which resulted in the shooting of three men, one of
them supposed fatally. The Day Book of Tuesday
gives the following account of the affair:
Portsmouth was thrown into a state of excite
ment last night, by the report that three persons
had been shot by Mr.. }. W. Jones, the Master
Caulker in the Navy Yard The facts as gathered
from the evidence elected by the Mayor this
morning, are as follows: 1uappears that Mr.. Leroy
Peed, young man well known in Portsmouth, had
been discharged from the Caulker's Department by
Mr. Jones, who had been accused by Mr. Peed of dis
charging him on political grounds. Since that dis
charge, Peed had repeatedly and openly avowed
his intention of taking satisfaction of Jones. The
parties met at or near Grimes stable, and Peed and
two other persons were shot. Peed received
ball IN one of his knees. Jones was seen running
and Peed pursuing him A witness heard the re-
port OF pistol previous, and testified that Peed
was limping at the time he entered the street.
Jones did not very far after he entered the
street before he wheeled and fired in the direction
of Peed. 1t is supposed that this was the shot
which took effect in the breast of James Brown,
who happened to be near, and who is not likely to
survive it. The third shot from the pistol is sup
posed to have struck another party, Mr.. Charles
Williamson. who is slightly wounded on the ear. Mr.
Jones is well known and quiet gentleman, and
this is the first difficulty have ever heard of his
being engaged in, and this looks as though he had
been forced into it from sefdefence 1t is but JUS
tice to MIR. Jones to state that he quietly and
promptly surrendered himself to the authorities,
and expressed desire for full investigation.
MARsALA.-Marsala, where Garibaldi has landed,
is port of Sicily, situated about 50 miles from
Palermo. 1t belongs to the Province of Trapani,
which extends, as well as the Province of Palermo
and that of Messina, along the north coast of the
island. Marsala carries on large business in the
wine which bears its name; it also deals in corn,
| fruit. cotton, and salt. The population is about
| 20,0O0. 1t possesses number of foreign CONNER
cial houses, the most important of which Eng
lish- 1t was iourishing place under the Romans,
and its prosperity maintained until the close OF
the 18th century. In 1882 the port was filled up
by order of Charles v to prevent the fleets of Soil
man H. from getting possession Oft 1t has never
completely recovered from that disaster and vessels
of large tonnage cannot enter. The attack on
Marsala indicates the plan conceived by Garibaldi.
He carries the struggle on the north coast of the
island, where all the strong places situated and
| approaches those positions, which if seized on by
! him, will give decisive results.-M Y, Courier.

THE ENGLISH GoRsUCH CLAM.-In 1920 Thomas
Talbot Gorsuch, many years surgeon at Shore
ditch, died at his residence, Queen Square, West
minister. leaving large real and personal estate to
James Thomas, adopted by him, then an under
graduate at ST. Johns College, Cambridge, and on
the happening of certain contingencies, to such
persons as should be of his kindred through his
next male heir of the family and name of Gorsuch
not claiming through a female 1t is by one of the
several codics to his will that the entire kindred
OF Gorsuch become claimants to the personal fund,
now in the hands Of trustees, though precuded by
alienage from the landed estates. This fund.- with
its accumulatiOns, is said to have reached more
than half million. The death of James Thomas
shortly after his beneiactOr, has given such d-
recticn to the estate to make it an interesting
question here among us in Maryland. By the con-
tents of the will and codicils, the testator was
aware that the claimants would have to trace this
relationship to his great grandfather. His father
had died in l7SO, clergyman in Orders highly
respected for piety and usefulness and the locality
whence his grandfather and great grandfather
came, was just where this section of MARYLAND had
a large immigration from 1913 to 1860, according
to the received tradition. Among the very early
settlers of Talbot and abiding here till 1851, were
Richard Gorsuch, Charles Gorsuch and Lovelace
Gorsuch. This family name transferred to
Baltimore county in 1910, and it fingered in Talbot
till 1850. From that time, in Talbot, 1t was cor
rupted into Gossage, and we are pleased that an
effort will be made to connect the Maryland Cor
such and Gossage clearly with this testator's
family The early Gorsuch settlers trst seated on
lands in the forks of the Choptank (the present
Tuckahoe Neck in Caroline county, and owning
Old Town, well known tract above Greensbo-
rough at the head waters of the river, made sub
seouent purchases, Dividing Creek, "out of the
Grand Patent Of Hyer Dyer Lloyd" and we are
requested to say that notice of any book paper or
other memorial of these pioneers on either side of
the Chesapeake, would be acceptable to j. B. Kerr,

PERSONNEL OF THE MORMON PRoPHET.-A cores
pondent of the San Francisco Herald, writing from
Salt Lake city, thus describes Brigham Young, the
Mormon Prophet!
Brigham Young, the Mormon Prophet, or, to
use his own words, the president of the Church of
Jesus Christ and Latter Dav Saints, ~ is a light
haired, thick set medium sized, rather round
shouldered, shrewd-looking of nearly three
score years, and of cheerful and commanding ap-
pcarance. He used to shave closely. Figuratively
he may do now. But corporealy, luxuriant
sandy-brown whskers, beard and mustachos adorn
his prophetic face. In fact the "Mormon War"
gave mighty impulse to the hirsute movement in
Utah. In that time of trouble nobody thought of
shaving, and yet the smooth faces have scarcely
regained their wonted vantage ground Brigham
is live speaker. Under his oratory saints or sim
ners seldom slide off into mystic dreamland. Gen
orally when he sits in meeting, and sometimes when
he is preaching, he wears hat or handkerchief on
his head AS he rises in the stand, manifest in
terest is excited which becomes contagious and
rapidly pervades the whole assembly, while coughs
ahems, and various shufllings are outward and vu-
gar and visible signs of awakened attention, and
preparation to hear something. His manner is
calm, deliberate, selfpossessed, sefsatisfed and
confident, with very little gesticulation, except
when fired up with his subject. His voice is far
from unpleasant, not very powerful but still well
capable of filling the Tabernacle and is slightly
tinged with that hard, infexible quality common to
uncultivated voices, which have been strained by
much loud speaking to large assemblies. His ut
terance is short and sharp, though, just at the
instant of their leaving the door of his lips he sud
denly communicated to his words an extra degree
of impulse. This peculiarity, in passages of more
than ordinary energy, contributes to mpart to his
speech piercing, cutting, thrilling effect His in
fuence over his hearers is extraordinary. Per
haps in power to attract and rivet the attention OF
his audience, he is not exceed by any living ora
tor. This may be partly owing to his peculiar po-
sition. Certain it is that the magic of his voice
sways Salt Lake congregation as no other voice
can. 1t is remarkable, the dogged patience with
which Mormon audience will sit under the oft
times. dry, wordy, thread bare, worn-out, long

hope of at last hearing spiritstirring word from
