CHATTER Day Saints,

A company of FIVE hundred Latter Day
Saints and Saintesses reached this city yes
terday, on the Michigan Central railway ,en
route for the Kingdom Of Brigham Young
They are in general much better look
ing class of people than those who arrived
here some weeks ago.
The company is composed Of English,
Welsh, Danes, Swedes, Norwegians, Ger
mans, Hollanders, and some Of other nation
alities. Not Celt or Scot are among
them, and indeed very few of these have
been found among any company of Mormon
proselytes. These people do not change
their. faith SO easily.
The principal leaders Of the company are
Elder J. S. College, from Wales Benjamin
Evans, Swansea, England George Conner,
Manchester, England Edward Burgoyne,
Julius Davis, and one or two others, also
from England. Those of other countries
than Great Britain are under leaders of their
own country.
The company is composed of both old and
young-men, women and children. There
were ninety-nine babies, and about an equal
number of mothers
The company reached this city about 9
o'clock A NJ, and having to wait until
noon for the Burlington train to start, were
quartcred in buildings at the depot Alarge
room was assigned to the females, and nc
one else was allowed to enter it, One OF
the English leaders came to the door and
was about to enter, when the door keeper
stopped him. He informed the door keeper
that all he desired was to put his family into
the room. The door keeper allowed him to
do So Zen females, all about the same age
were admitted to the room, when the Cap
tain, as he was called, remarked, "That is
all my family, SIR and closed the door -
The door keeper looked at him with ? in
his eye, but said nothing.
The company proceed to Florence, Ne
braska. at which point they will commence

HARD Butter WITHOUT IcE.-To have
delightfully."- hard butter in summer, with
out ice, the plan recommended by that ex-
cellent and useful publica ion, the Scientific
American, is good enc. Put trivit or
any open fat thing with legs, in saucer :;
put on this trivit the plate Of butter fill the
saucer with water; turn common flower
pot upside down over the butter, so that its
edge shall be within the saucer and under
the water; plug the hole Of the Aower-pot
with cork, then drench the fower-pot with
water ; set in cool place until morning, or
if done at breakfast the butter will be very
hard by supper time. How many of our
town boarding schools girls, who have been
learning philosophy, astronomy, syntax and
prosody, can write an explanation of this
within month

Wanted at the Wing Office.

The letter writtsn by honest old Joe Lane il
1916, denouncing Gen. Taylor, and charging
him with faIsifying the facts, in giving to th'
Mississippi regiment the credit of turning thu
tide of battle in favor Of the American arms al
Buena Vista Kckstuvg Wing.
We will accommodate the Wing with Gen
Joe Lanes opinion of the conduct and ser
vices of the Mississippi Regiment at Buena
VISTA. In his official account Of the battle, he
paid to Mississippis sons, this glowing tribute;
In battle as fierce and protracted as this,
where there were so many exhibitions Of
GOODNESS and bravery, it is difficult task to
particularize, BUT JUSTICE COMPELS
ME- TO MENTION COL. DAVIS AND
HIS REGIM BST OF MISSISSIPPIANS,
WHO so NOBLY AND so BRAVELY
CAMETO THE RESCUE AT THE PRO-
PER TIME TO SAVE THE FORTUNES
OF THE DAY.
That was what Gen. Joe Lane said of
chivalry sin turning the tide of
battle in favor of the American arms al Buena
VISTA" Probably the Whig alludes to the
letter Of the ctwardly Black Republican COL
Jim. Lane, of Kansas notority.

Anti. Slavery Intolerance.

The Hartford (Con.) Times gives an &C
count of intolerance towards minister Of tn,
Gospel which is not only disgrace to tht
church Of which he was pastor, but another
evidence of the bitter hostility Of northern
Christians to the South and her institutions
We state the case in few words as we fine
it reported. The Rev. George Hall, some siz
months since. was installed as pastor Of q
Congregational church at Center Village, Con.
necticut. He was good preacher and no OBJ.
lection was found to the orthodoxy Of his
views. His wife is an excellent and pious
lady of refinement and education. 1t was
enough for the congregation to learn that she
was native of a Southern State.
The cry was soon heard, "Our minister is
pro-slavery, his wife is from the South !'-
Suddenly it was remembered that he had not
preached on the subject Of abolition-he had
not even prayed for the slaves emancipation
since he had been their pastor! Mr.. and Mrs.
Hall at once became subjects Of suspicion
-EEen- -ths children -eangbt the infection, aud
reiterated one Tor the other what had bee<
said IN their hsaring BY parents at home
Such state could not be endured.
Mrs. Hall became i'll and was confined to
her bed in consequence of this state Of things
In discussion, it was declared by the ma
jority,-"We are an anti-slayery church and
people, Mr. Hall was dismissed. A part Of
the members. although as much anti-slavery,
rr,rosad (as thar, bad fory,.oflr I1ad Ne Hall
to the pastorship) to pay him the balance of q
years salary, three hundred dollars. This
was simply just, as he had moved from dis
lance and had been at considerable expense
The majority cut it down to one hundred dol
lars, aud he was dismissed for no reason what
ever, but that his wife was native of the
South, and he would preach the gospel instead
Of abolitionism.

Hon. J. VS.. Merrill Of Carroll.

1t affords US no little pleasure to record the
name of this gentleman among the other
numerous accessions to the Democratic party
in the present canvass, We find in the Car
rollton Democrat the following report of re-
cent speech delivered by him, to a Democratic
meeting in Carrollton:
Mr j. W. S. Merrill next succeeded Capt.
Liddell. This v as an effort that gave general
satisfaction to The friends of Constitutional
Union and State Equality. It is well known
fact that Mr.. Merrill has heretofore co. operated
with the Opposition party. But now, looking
at the truth as presented and developed by
the signs of the times estimating the capaci-
ty, willingness, and power Of the respective
candidates IN the field to meet and successfully
cope with the perilous dangers that environ
our Union, our Constitution and our rights as
Southern citizens, he had, with care ana
study and machinyestigation taken ms posi-
tion, not, as he said, for the strong man.
but for he man tidt 1oGs right. And naVing
thus determined upon his duty as true ana
loyal citizen Of the Union, as q real and devo'
ted friend of his Southern home and southern
brethren, under that Union and that Consti-
tuition. which we all love ana revere, NOT Ios
ourselves. but for their effects when rigntiy
administered for the purposes for winch tney
were created. he boldly and feariessly de,
clared his preference, and professed himself
w;ll;ne and desirous to fight in the ranks OF
Tho, Great army that was marching under the
rd of truth and correct principle, boldly
avowed His objections to Mr. Bell ana ms
shadow of a platform. scarcely deserving .ne

on Februry 18th, 1868, (App. Congressional
Globe, vol. &c, p. 226) Mr.. Bell whilst Incl.
dentally discussing the power of Congress in
the Territories uses the following significant
and emphatic expression" Our poOer IS sou
ev'eig'a and plesary in the Territories" If it
were possible then for any candid man to deny
theinference drawn from his admission of the
power Of Congress to abolish slavery in the
District Of Columbia, that he conceded it the
same power in the territories, this brief but
pointed declaration, (cited word for word,
with reference to chapter and verse; removed
every doubt With this broad and unquali-
fed concession of power from Mr.. Bell, what
is to restrain the dominant North from carry
ing out its avowed policy Of utter and total
exclusion Of the South and her institutions
from all participation in the common territory
of the Union? They will hardly be as con-
siderate of our feelings in dealing with the
South as John Bell was of theirs with regard
to slavery in the District and John Bell, as
President, could do nothing to arrest their
progress in erecting congressional barriers to
our admission into every territory we now
or may hereafter acquire.
