rumor that the slaves formerly owned by
the Hon. Edward Bates, ran away from him,
instead of being emancipated. The story 10
utterly false, and, if possible, still more ab.
surd. A niger with half stock of even
African sense, would not run away from SO

cretion.-[ St. Louis Evening News.

full work, nothing could be more opportune
and suitable than to send him to Utah, with

did not reduce the Mormons to subsection, or
to their lowest terms, in six months, it would
only be because he himself bad been seduced
by the Establishments of social life among

WASHINGTON, March 30.
The postof6ce Committee of the House had
MIR. Gwin's Pacific Telegraph bill up this
morning, and referred Ii to the Sub. Com
mit.es, consisting Of Msasrs. Colfax, Craigs
Of North Carolina, and Allen. While there
was u general agreement in favor OF some
such enterprise, and OF extending Govern
ment aid toward its construction, ii was
thought proper to examine the details OF this
particular project more carefully.
The majority Of the Harper's Ferry Com
mittee have again determined to summon
Governor Wise, and it 10 probable the ques-
ton will be submitted to the Senate.
Mr.. Blair closed bis case before the Com
mittee on Elections this morning, making his
right to the scat held by MIR. Barrett clear
and unQuestionabls. The frauds committed
in that election were only parallel to those
in Kansas.
The postofise Committee have invited Jno.
Cochrane and Mr.. Corwin TO appear on Tues
day morning 10 behalf OF Carlos Butterfeld's
Mail Route along the Gulf OF Mexico. The
feeling in the Committee IL very favorable to
this scheme.
Col. Charles r. Smith only retains CON-
mand in Utah until Col. Cooke, who sue
oeeds Gen. Johnston, shall reach there, when
he will occupy the second rank to him.
Petitions from all parts Of New York are
pouring in, praying that the Reciprocity
Treaty with Canada may be amended or re-
soinded. Hostility to it 10 growing more bit
ter daily, SO ruinous is it to the interests Of
Western New York. Mr.. Hatch's report will
not only be strongly condemnatory to the
Treaty, but will urge that it be abrogated at
the earliest possible day. President Buchan-
an will lay the report Immediately before
Congress.

Marin, signing himself Admiral Of the
Mexican Navy, publishes protest against
the capture OF his steamers. He says that
neither the Saratoga, indianoia or Wave
showed their Aags whom they approached
He knew that the Indianola and Wave were
Juarez's steamers, and he supposed they
were bringing armed boats to the attack and
attempted to esoaps. Two shots were fred
at him, which he returned and then rssog-
nized the Saratoga, and ordered the firing 10
cease. Notwithstanding, the attack contin.
ued, with the known results. He says that
be purchased the steamers at Havana from
