gives evidence of ability and professional
skill. The paper appears to be devoted prin-

little surplus affection for Gov. Lyon, whose
course is denounced in the severest terms.
Politically, the paper fayors the powers at

ANOTHER Man DAMUs.-The Lewiston4courts
Eare having lively time with the Capital
case. It has come up before Judge Smith,
District Judge, this time, on an application
/ of Major Truax for writ of mandate COM
pelliug Secretary Cochrane to give up the
seal and. archives to- that gentleman. The
facts.-as we obtain them from the Radiator,
are, that Maj Truax, some time ago, resigned
his position in. the army for the purpose OF
securing the appointment Of. Surveyor Cen
eral of. this Territory, which he. expected to
obtain through the assistance of Gov. Lyon.
AS Congress had not created the Office, as an
intermediate step, the Governor, was to. apr
point him Indian Agent, The Governor sud-
denly abandoned the Territory. without max
ing the appointment, wherein the. Malorwent
down to Walla Walla to see him. Soon after
be returned to Lewiston with instructions
from Lyon to receive the@laws, seal and arch
ives and proceed with. them to- Boise City,
and that the Commander offthe~troops aft.
Lapwai was called upon to aid him, and re-
lieve the Acting Secretary from custody.
Cochrane refused to give them up. On the
18th of January Truax made his appearance
again with document from the Governor,
removing Lochrane from. Office for not obey
ing his instructions, and appointing Major
Truax Secretary, with orders to receive and
convey the archives forthwith to Boise City.
Cochrane again refused, declaring theeGoV-
ernor's orders, issued while he was out ofthe
Territory, Of no validity-whereon Truax
made application for a mandate, to compel
him to surrender the effects OF the ONCE.
Defendants filed their answer, and the case
was set for the 5th of February.

But while the Church has no politics, its

their individual opinions, and to choose such
political affiliations as they consider proper.
The experience of centuries has convinced .
majority of them, that there is but little in
common between them and Puritanism-
that the ancient FIRE of Pnritanic hatred is
cot extinguished, but was only smouldering
during the years when the restraints of law
and the ENDORSEMENTS Of money making kept
the ashes upon It, They could not but see,

sweep on, scorching and consuming every
thing uncongenial and unsubservient. The
most horrible crimes that ever outraged the
world. have been perpetrated in the name of
cherished things; and if in the heated times
in which we live, the "political matters of
men in this country, are to be judged by such
men, as the editors of the Methodist, and fixed
according to THEIR standsrdof+h duty to their

under these circumstances, any great portion

of poor, deluded man turning the grind

own throat. The destruction of the CIVIL
rights of the people,. has carried with it the
sole SAFEGUARDS of RELIGIOUS freedom. The

THE PRENTICE CORRESPONDENCE Mr..
Prentice, Of the Louisville Journal, has re-
turned heme, and fatty denies the authenticity
OF the letters attributed to him, said to have
been captured by Gen Bur bridge in his Vlr-
ginia raid. Mr. Prentice says that in Rich.
mond he avoided all political conversation,
and in conclusion adds:
"As for our saying that the people of Ken.
tucky would welcome the advent Of Hood g
army, it is simply and absolutely absurd. We
volunteered once to defend Louisville, an hour
after midnight, when only 81 other men could
be rallied by the ringing of bells and the firing
OF cannon, and we will volunteer again-we
swear we will-if the city shall be invaded
and if defense shall be offered.''
