TBE CRY PRr.g-Itis a good idea. that of

rial spaee An article ON 1.-The Atrocities OF
Mormonism" is packed in the third column
OF the Meas. 1t consists principally of ex-
tracts from letter written by ian intelli-
gent gentleman of high standing" and icon
taius. saws the Ne.es. "details of social life
in Utah of the most sickening character, ana
what il more, they are true" Ii our cotempo-
rary think that such details are "sickenlHg,"
wby does he, By publishing them, so wonton-
ly trife with the health of bis readers! Does
he urcpose to visit in their sickness the fami-
lis who draw their daily mental aliment
from his columns. nurse them tenderly during
their Illness, and pay their DOCTORS bills
when they fall due? If he do not, he ought
tn quit publishing ''sickening details" and
ali other sorts of tales that are the least I'M
healthy. And if he don't quit it, We, as the
nnblic's next best friend, shall establish
quarantine station at the front door of his
Office, and viii suffer no copy of the Ne1Os to
pass until it is thoroughly demonstrated that
It contains nothing calculated TO endange
the health of the people.
sTThe Mechanical Interests of Tenn ssee."
is the subject of wellwritten and praise
worthy article in the Banner. We would like
to say something on the same subject, as the
mechanical interests Of the State are too
much neglected by those who have the power
to advance them but our neighbor has done
the subject full justice, and as all attempts to
gid refined gold paint the lily viola
tive of every principle of correct taste, We
fJrb-ar. We heartily endorse all the Banner
says in favor of the bill (Which has passed
the Senate and been sent to the House) ma
king an appropriation of $4,000 TO the Ne
chanics' Institute and Library Association.
We hope the bill will pass the House, and
that the Treasurer will Immediately be in
structed to hand over the slugs. Spanking
of the recent butIing match on the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad, the Banner says:
1--WE did not learn from what cause the COLI
sion resulted" From the best information
We have been able 10 gain on the subject, we
are satisfied that il resulted almost entirely
from the failure of the engineers to stop the
trains in time TO prevent it.
In reply 10 the Washington correspondent
of the New York Tribune, who writes that
"JEFFERsoS DAVIS denies that DOUGLAS has
the ghost of chance at Charleston" the Ga
zeae says: eff there is any reliance to he
placed upon the signs of the times. As Con-
staDtIy exhibiting themselves through the
press of the country and in political cOnyen-
tions. Jefferson Davis is upon this point most
egregiously mistaken 1t il mistake, how
ever, that he loves to make, for We verify be-
lieve that he would greediiy jump at pro-
position to swap chances with Judge Doug
las. who now has, as every careful observer
OF current public events well knows, the in
eide track for the Charleston nomination"
Convince the Nashville Union and the Mem
phis AUdLatcie that the DOUGLAS really has the
inside track for the nomination, and you
make them a pair Of the most unhappy news
papers that breathe the ink of life. If the
Gazette then have the slightest regard for the
happiness of its fellowpdpers, it will refrain
from such remarks. The Uaion and the AUa-
Lanche may be aole to bear up under the
shock of the diminutive Magog's nomination,
but the contemplation of such catastrophe,
with the conviction that il must inevitably
take place, would be quite too much for their
strength of nerve, Northumberland
and lon-hearted,as they are. Remember, .
inconsiderate neighbour that although "in
Venice TAsso's echoes are no more" yet the
truth of his beautiful sentiment that
''-looked- for evil is II greater III

do not carry the shadow of looked-for evil |

Some time ago, about the 4lh instant, |

the following an extract from speech |

II was this which called out that hundred

siiion from the Banner. to which We have once
or twice referred. The Union racitly declined
the proposition. but has gone and hunted mp
the documents to prove that Gov. DENNIsox

Whether the proof brought forward is worth
anything or not, we shall not attempt to de-
lermine- Ii is certainly worth nothing b. Us
