AN ISSUE WIrArTHss MQRMoNs-
The Federal House Of Represents
tiyes has passed q bill prohibiting
Ipolygamy in Utah, and Furnishing
it as a penal otiense against the u
nited States. Changes have been
made in the organic law Of the ter
ritory, which it ia thought, willren-
DIR it impracticable to carry this
law into effect Speaking of this
act, the Cincinnati Enquirer says;
i"The Mormohs viii undoubtedly
resist, and we shall probably have q
war with them on the question:
war that will be attended with no
little trouble and expense. The
bill was originally introduced by
Morril, of Vermont, the author Of

DALLAS, SATURDAY, JUNE 81, 's2
THE STATE OY ArrAIRs.

Wa have no late interesting do
tails to give our readers this week,
the mails having been almost TO-
tai failure during the past week.
At last accounts, the main Con-
sederate army. in Virginia, under
Lee, johnson and President Davis,
was at and near Richmond, holding
Mcclellan in check, and occasional
ly pitching in and thrashins him.
by spowerful and we'll executed
strategy, Stonewall Jackson has
succeeded in fanking Mcclellan 8
army, most numerically thrashed
Banks, and was in Maryland, re-
oeiving'very large additions to his
strength, and in all probability, ere
this, has succeeded in taking Balti-
more and Washington City-serious-
" threatening Philadelphia and
other eastern cities. Mcclellan can-
not weaken his force To oppose INN
Cor fear OF our grand army 1T Rich
mond, and Stonewall has every
thing his own way
The falling back Of our army,
from Corinth, seems to have been
another stroke OF policy similar to
the evacuation Of the PcDinsula, and
whilst a sufficient force keeps in
check and continually mel aces Hal
leck, it il surmised Thar Price and
Van Dorm will make,e flank move
ment, anu marsn northward INTO
the enemy's county
Gen. Hindman is concentrating a
large force at L,ttie Rock with the
view, doubtless, OF annfhilating
what is left OF Curtis command and
then an easy and successful march
70 st. louis And last, though not
least Col. John Morgan is said to
pe in the heart of Kentucky, with
thousands focking to his standard.
Altogether, every thing at, pres
snt, looks bright and glorious,
Whilst the -federals are sickening
and dying, in, our river and coast
cities, large bodies Of Confederate
troops will be marching northward,
and capturing the enemy g cities, in
lieu of those held by the enemy in
the South, at the most sickly season
oftiie wear.

WAR ITEMS

A special dispatch to the Times by the
steamer City of Memphis, from Pittsburgh
Monday, says two rebel regiments from Ken
tucky and Tennessee had attempted to de-
sert and come over en- masss, to the federal
army, but the enemy held them in cheek, and
a mutiny ensued. A strong force from our
advance lines was sent over to interfere, and
in a short time returned with 60 prisoners,
mostly from the ranks of the deserting regi-
ments. They give doleful account of affairs
in Beauregards army, and confirm previous
statements that the troops from the border
stat are anxious to return to their former
allegiance. They also say there is plenty Of
subsistence at Corinth.
special dispatch to the Tribune from
Fort Wright the 18th, says. Last evening
the rebels commenced shelling this place
from behind Craighead Point, which, until
yesterday, was occupied by our mortar boats.
They kept up fire during the night, the
shells exploding wide of the mark. They are
provided with mortars equal in weight OF
metal TO those used by the federal feet Capt.
Winslow was dispatched by the mail steamer
to ST. Louis for the purpose Of bringing our
rams to this place as soon as possible
The gunboat Louisville, which has been
stationed at Hickman, has joined the feet
Preparations have been completed for all the
gunboats here, which, in the opinion of the
ablest engineers, will most efIectually render
useless any rebel eontrivAnoe of the ram
species.
The London Times argues that the fight at
Pittsburgh Landing was a federal defeat
that Mcclellan will be fatally repulsed--that
New Orleans will never he eaptured--that
Burnside is "no acoount'-and that the tax
bill will create a revolution at the North
When il shall hear that Mcclellan is in Rich
mond, and Butler in New Orleans, and the
rebels defeated everywhere, It will turn up
its cockney nose still, and insist that the re-
beliou can't be put down. We shall have
to whip these Bristish fools before they will
admit that we ara " anybody"
A Fortress Monroe letter OF the 18th says
desortcrs constantly coming in agree that the
evacuation OF Richmond is rapidly pro-
crossing. and the effort of the retrealng ret
els is merely to hold back Geu. Mcclellan to
obtain time to remove all the stores and the
government archives South. The letter says
there is no manner Of doubt o. It.
