THE HOUSTON CONVENTION.

We give on al other page tuli report Of the
proceedings of toe Houston Convention at Sche-
uectady, on WEDNESDAY. 1t seems that the
Houston men, who, though in earnest are not
~ cunning politicians as their adverse les, the
BroOkses AID Hunts were led into the mis-
take Of taking for their Chairman a chap
named Van Rensselaer,, tool Of the Brooks party,
who was consequently, a0xiOus to defeat the object
OF the meeting. Amoog the delegates there were
also one or two persons With the same disorderiy
purpose and from the presence of such Chair
man AID such false delegates some trouble
was csused. Nevertheless, the meet
ing accompl shed the business for which
it was convened. 1t put SAM HoUsroS
formally in nomination as popular candidate for
the Presidency and after four ballots it nomioated
ROBERT +. STOCKTON of New-Jersey as its can
ddate for the Vice Presidency. 1t next selected
partial list of candidates for Presidential elect
ors, and appointed State Committee, with au-
thOrty to nil up this electoral list aud to take gen.
era charge OF the business of the Houston party in
the State.
1t ia worthy of remark that all the disturbances
produced aud attempted at this meeting we're the
work of those pretended friends of Bell and
Everett who are really devoted to the cause of
Douglas. The Republicans and the Breckenridge
mel manifested no disposition to interfere with tie
political action of this body of their fellow citizens;
but these Douglasites in disguise appear to be
filed with deep and dreadful apprehensions at the
nomination of Gen. Houston for the Presidency by
small pumber of respectable and hoDe't-minded
voters. We do not at present perceive the reasons
tor such alarm AID anxiety GU their part; perhaps
hey will be made plain hereafter.

The deputies of the Russian nobility cOnvocated
at st. Petersburg to take the fnL measures for
the emancipation Of their serfs after having finished
their talk, commemorated by great public
dinner the happy issue of their labors. Auong the
numerous high officials invited on that occasion
was Mr. Bulgakof, Under Secretary of State and
az. stant of Count Panin, the President of the
Board Of Emancipation and Minister of Justice.
Mr.. Bulgakoff offered four toasts. The first was
of course to Alexander H.. the benevolent sove
reign and liberatOr; two others were addressed
to the cause ITSELF and to the nobility; and fourth
to the memory Of Emllian Pugatshef, the first
emancipation o, Russian selfs.
In IVA, EmiIian Pugatshef, Cossack serf of
one of the mobiles, away from bis MASTER called
to arms the Cossacks of the Ura the convicts IN the
mines of the UJal Mountains and in the regions of
Orenbulg and the seris of the n-ighburng dis
tricts. The insurrection spread like lightning
The insurgt nts seized OF destroyed several forts
constructed in the steppes, and they bcsleged the
city of Orenburg, but were repulsed. When they
afterwsrd crossed the Volga, the serfs rose, in-
creasing in numbers at every step from the peas
antry of the Interior aud dragged their masters 10
chains to the feet of the liberator. Soldiers sent
against him joined his revolutionary standard, and
seye, al Generals of Catharine III were routed
Pupatsheff took various cites, and burned Sara
toff and Kasan. More than thirteen hundred mobiles,
civil and military, icials and priests, were hanged
or shot The nobility everywhere fled to the city
of Moscow, whose very walls quaked with terror
THIS nsurrertion was the only event which ever
shook the throne of Catharine III and many evil
dences of her uneasiuess art found IN her CORE
spendence with V0ltoire, and in the advice she
afterward gave, in IT'S, to George iii. of En-
gland.
At last, by the united efforts Of Suwaroff and
Nicholson, Pugatsheff's army was destroyed, and
he himself, betrayed by his immediate follow
ers. was delivered to Count Pann, the alter ego of
the Empress, AID brought to Moscow. Count Pa
Tin struck the chained prisoner in the face, aud
tore his beard in public before the assembled null
tltude. Pugatsbeff was beheaded. The head was
preserved but the body was CHARTERED and ex-
posed at the various gates of the capital. After
few days, the remains were burnt, and the ashes
fred in the air from cannon.
The name of Pugatshef has been till now year
" mathematical in all the churches of Russia.
But not century has passed away when the above
mentioned toast is given to his memory, not by
some Red Republican, but by high and confideo-
tial official of the great grandson of the imperial
CathariIe. Pugatsheff is toasted by the most
ancient mobiles, and in the face of Couat Panin,
Minister and President, and the direct descendant
of him who struck the great libeTatOr and pucked
his beard.
We commend these historical incidents to the
attention of our Southern brethren.

UTAH AND THE MORMONs.

A pleasant hour with Capt. Walter NJ. Gibson,
Just returned from Winters sojourn with the
Latter-Day Saints at Salt Lake has supplied us
with some additional items of interest respecting
that singular people and their fortunes.
The Oft-reyiyed story OF the Mormons wishing
Or conserving to sell out their landed possessions
IN Utah, is baseess fabrication. They like that
country better and better; they are vanqushing
the difficulties and impediments incidental to
pioneer adventure, and are fast surrounding them
selves Cat least the magnates are) with the COM
forts of civilized life. OF Cattle aud Grain they
have good store; Sheep are multiplying among
them; Wooden Factories are beginning to turn OUT
abrics; excellent Porcelain Clay has been dis.
covered among them, and emigrants from the
English Potteries will soon be converting it into
elegant and seryiceable Wares. OF Iron ORE they
baye abundance, and most of the ruder Mahufac-
lures are already Daturalized among them. Fuel
has been their chief desidel atum-miserable Wood
| Cotton or Quaking Asp being usually SIS, aud
often $50 per cord Salt Lake City, and abundant
hardly anywhere. But Mineral Coal has lately
been discovered in Salt Lake Valley, which, though
poor in quality, gives promise of better; and
choice article is being mined OH the waters of the
Weber, hardly thirty miles from the Saints me-
| tropulis. There are intervening muuUtaius (the
Wahsatch), but they can be passed by means of
caIons and tram-rOad from the Weber Mines to
the City will reduce the price of Coal in the latter
to So per tun at most And then let New.York
look to it that she be not outstripped in the
for American prominence
Timber is feariuly scarce in Utah. In all it's
vast area, there is mol to- day stick growing (uness
recently planted) that would furnish forth an AK
| helye much less an axle-tree. This dearth must
be overcome by irrigation aud planting. Trees are
nowhere more thrifty than in the irrigated streets
of Salt Lake City, and though these are mainly
the worthless Bitter Cottonwood, there is no reason
| to doubt that Oak. Pine or Hickory would flourish
| just as well. A Great Nursery and Plantation Of
choice timber is greatly needed in Salt Lake Val
ley, and would afford magnificent return. Meaa-
time, the lucky inroad of tho Federal Army has
obviated any present sense ofneed. Great provis'
ion wagons, whose axles had borne the jerks and
strains of twelve hundred miles VI travel over un.
made roads and unbridged gullies, bearing loads o.

Brigham, who has recently sod lots of them bach

With some Insignificant variations Gov. Hunt
delivered that same Old speech at Albany last
night This time, however, he had strange au-
dience. His new associates, the Douglas Demo-
Crafts, we're present in force. As for Bel meo,
there are none lett in this State, except few fools;

The Republican State Committee Of our State
met Yesterday in our City, and called State
Convention, to consist of two Delegates from each
Assembly District to meet at Syracuse, at ii A. NJ,
of Wednesday, the 22d of August, and nominate
State Officers aud Presidential Electors. We
presume every District in the State will be repre-
sented The time fixed is early, but not an hour
too early; the number of Delegates the same as
heretofore, and everything as it should be. The
People will do the rest.
We could with that the Assembly District Con-
ventions Of the several Counties could be called to
meet together at their respective county seats
and that rallying and organizing Convention OF
the Republican masses could be called to meet at
the same time. Such Conventions would bring
together nearly all our workers, and insure an
efficient organization and energetic CANVASS.
Never were the People more ripe for such a
movement and never was it more needed. Too
MANY of the Republicans are sitting down in
oloriOusly in the hazardous trust that our adver-
saries will win our battle for us, when we can and
should fight and win it ourselves We have no
need and no right to count on their divisions; we
can carry our State high aud dry over them all,
if we will heartily try. If the Democratic dssen-
sions should be healed at the last moment, we may
find that we have thrown away a certain victory
by proving ourselves unworthy to secure it.
Brother Republicans let our OppOneats manage
their own affairs, while we take hold and give
l. ncon and Hamlin clear majority over the
whole of them What SOY you

sned with regard to them, the Southern
States must DO content with just that
weight which they possess under the Fede-
raj Constitution. If they can manage to
elect q President and to secure majority in Con-
gress favorable to their schemes of extending
Slavery Into the Territories, with view to the
erect n of new Slave States they may then e&-
pt ct to cary out those views. Failing this, ana
with the Government of the IN ion in the hands OF
the Free-Labor party, they must expect to n d

the States and the People.

UNION AND HARMONY.

The Democra y Of Pennsy lSania are in trouble.
The man that goes around to tell them how to
vote has missed his cue aud is in state Of dumb
fuu ded b-wllderDent. The machioe threatens
to come to dead bait. They have az Electoral
Ticket duly nominated and fully in the field, but
there are two so is of Democrats that are not
satisfied with i'll. The Douglas men; 2. Those
who go for Breckenridge. Various devices have
been contriyed by the State ofice-hode's aud eau
didates to make it do; but still the two cllques
above mentioned remain unrecOlciled. Aud their
grumbiiug seems not en- irely unreasonable; since
the ID, Uglas men want to vote fot Douglas electors,
while the Breckenridge mea want just the other
sort; while the exisiog ticket is partly for one,
partly for the other, and some not declared foe
either. The State Committee propose to go 1t
bin d.; but that does not take, and two or three
more State Conventions are called to Dm nate this
WY or rat, according to taste. From pure good
nature, we will volunteer suggestion which 6 ems
calculated to solve the problem completely: viz:
I. Let the Douglas men hold their convection,
make their ticket and vote it. y. Let tue Breck-
iDIidge men do likewise 3. Let the State officers,
candidates and their followers, support the preseot
ticket pie dyed to vote according to circumstances,
as suggested by the State Committee. Each fac
ton having then exactly what it wanted, there
could be nothing left for any one to complain Of

The telegraph yesterday reported that the Hon.
Erastus Brooks was at Baltimore the day before at
the Bell and Everett meeting there. This, it now
appears, was a mistake, the Hon. Erastus being at
Schenectady, where the Houston Convention was
in session. The Houston uen saw he was the ad-
wiser of the treacherous Douglastes who had got
themselves appointed delegates to the Convection
fer the purpose of preventing the nomination Of
Houston Electoral ticket aud that he was at the
bottom Of the row which they attempted to kick
up Whether this is so or lot, we don't kaow;
but one thing is pretty certain, namely, that the
Brookses who not long since were for Houston,
are BOW for Douglas though they PRETENDED to DO
for Bell. The inference IL, that somebody has been
sold. IL the transaction was on credit, we fea
the settlIg day will never come.

IN THE INTERIOR.

Breckenridge stock Is looking up through the in
terror counties We notice calls, in several jour
nals, for district conventions to appoint deieg ites
to the State Convection Of this wing Of the De
inocracy, to be held at Syracuse on the 9TH of Au
gust. These calls are addressed to "the National
"Democracy,' aid designate Breckenridge and
Lane as "the regular Democratic nominees for
president and Yice-Pres'dent." These phrases
