= The Masquerade, on Monday even
ing, was grand success, taking every
thing into consideration. The snow
having fallen to the depth of about ten
inches the day before, it was thought, by
many, utterly impossible to form the
" Grand Procession" but our German
friends, who always perform what they
advertise, soon procured OK teams and a
snow ptow, which, in due time, made our
principal streets passable.. About 3
o'clock, P. M, the procession was formed
in front of REIcHEkr's Saloon, and
marched through our city, to the infinite
amusement of n crowd of spectators.
The dance was enjoyed by goodly nnm-
Der of our citizens, 0urself included, aud
was kept up Till daylight. In The Ian
Quage of our friend, It vas big

of his German and American friends, who
done all in their power to make the Mas
1uerade q success.

Trouble Brewing in Utah.

There is a prospect that after the great re-
bollion is crushed out we shall need Il part OF

polygamous saints are getting very arrogant

ernor, ignoring entirely the territorial govern

1t says -
The people have spoken loudly, and in lam

aversion to colonial srrvitude, tyranny and op-
preston, and that they wish TO supercede the
territorial form of government TO which they
have submitted for nearly twelve years, by ~
state of government Of their own formation, In
accordance with the principles of the cons5ltu-
ton OF their common country, to which they
are SO much attached. They have for d long
time been deprived of their political rights, and
they now feel like asserting them and relieving
the Federal government from the expense accru-
ing from the unconstitutional arrangement in
stltuted by Congress for governing territories,

The House of Representatives has passed
bill for the punishment of polygamy which
will OF course become law. The saints will

Tbs Visit Of the French Minister to Rich
ulond,

The French Minister arrived at Yorktown
Sunday morning. He seems unusually inter.
eatod in the progress Of events.
The special correspondent of the ~ Y Times
furnishes his version Of this visit, though we
nave not much faith in its accuracy There is
40 doubt that both England and France have a
desire that the war should cease, and fraternal
relations be re.established between the North
and the South, inasmuch as the war has very
seriously damaged them in their commerc ial
interests, besides destroying the value of their
old wooden vessels, and it may be possible that
Napoleon hos intimated as much TO the rebels.
But We cannot credit that even Napoeonic i'm.
pndence has thought Of debating to the United
States Government the terms on which this re-
bo.lion should be suppressed. We shall put
down the rebellion in our own way however,
Whatever France and England may choose to say
or DO III the matter. Government stocks are
above par, and rising every day, and the victo-
rios just ahead will carry them still higher
We have money enough, arms enough, soldiers
enough, iyon plated ships enough to take care
of the domestic rebellion that is now being
driven to It's : last ditch,'' and DON desir any
ioreign aid nor shall we suffer ourselves to be
frightened from Furnishing rebels by the sugges-
ton shat France and England can It permit it,
We have pu2sued our own methods thus far
and shall continue TO do so.

BEAUREGARD TO HIS ARMY-Beauregard as
Issued an address to his army dated April H.
liz Informs them that their success - has been
great " and that iron clad gunbcats alone saved
the enemy from complete destruction. But he
afterwards says that " untoward events saved
the enemy from annihilation." From this we
are lod to conclude that Beauregard regards a
- gunboat as an " untoward event." This is

~, TIE SECOND NERMoNr.--A correspondent Of
the Tribune, writing from Lees Mills, under
date OF April 80, gives the annexed account of
an important reconnaissance made by the I'd
Vermont regiment, lIder command of Lieut.
Col. Stannard:
1.-The only event of interest that has occurred
with this division of the army to day, has been
the reconnaissance of the rebel works mile and
a quarter below and to the left of the dam, by
the I'd Vermont reg ment, under the command
of Lieut.. Col. Stannard. In the last few DAYS
suspicious have been aroused that the rebels
were constructing another troublesome work at
that point. The reconnaissance proved however,
tina, on this side of the river the enemy have
nothing but rifle pits and not over strong breast
works in the way of defences. Col. Stannard
threw out in advance three companies of Skin
mshers, who met the enemys pickets at least
900 yards this side of their breastworks. He
gallanily drove them in from the word go, al
though the skirmishlng in the woods was Of the
most difficult kind. Col. Stannard. having
reached the point to which he was ordered, ju-
dciously protected his men and made his obser-
vations. The enemy's long roll was beaten ;
and, with their usual amount of swearing, two
or three rebel regiments formed in line in the
order of battle. The firing, at distance of 200
yards, was very lively but the thick, large trees
prevented much loss Of life, though several rebels
were seen to fall. We lost but three men. Tousc-
ley, Lucius Carpenter and Louis Wood, Co. Ii ,
Capt. Walbridge. In all the fighting and skir-
missing since leaving Fortress Monroe, the ID
Vermont has not had man wounded, but five
have been killed outright

You have offered to the country no evidence in
support of your naked assertion You have,

collect testimony to substantiate your charges,
and the indignant denials which have gone from
officers of this division to yourself and colleagues

apology. 1t is now my time to speak, and here,
