A Mormon War.

A speok Of war seems to DO noveriH6
A,ng the western horizon. Recent tele-
rams explain the announcement Of m
nnusual movement Of troops, that they
sre ordered to the military posts around
about Utah Territory. tits rumored that
the Mormons are assuming an attitude Of
hostility, and that they have formed
camps of not less than fifteen thousand
men. svg !.
All the correspondents from Utah, dur
ing the past summer, have referred to
Mormon camps, and expressed the opinion
at various times that the government
might have trouble with that country.
Il is said that Mr. Hollister, Collector Of
Internal Revenue in Utah, who has re-
Gently married sister Of Schuyler Colfax
has undoubtedly given information in per-
son, to the authorities ut Washington,
which has had its effect in the immediate
movement of the troops DR.. Taggart,
the assessor, has also been long Of the
opinion that affairs in Utah Were APP
preaching crisis which would require
the arbitrament of arms. Ii the rumors
prove correct, and the contest is upon US,
let it be short, sharp and decisive. The
Mormons do not pay their taxes to the
government. Let them be set aside for
people who will pay their taxes. This is
the right position to take in reference to
this question There is consolation in the
reflection that if we are to have war
against the Mormons, it will not be re.
ligiou. one ii they will not be obedient
sublects within the government, let them
20 out. or give them war their first
demon-tratIpn.

the President recommendation, viii
make the number twenty-five, and the
consent Of only three States more will be
necessary to secure the constitutional ma

There are four States that will positively
ratify the amendment, viz: Iowa, whose
I,eeislatt,rc meets on the first Monday in
january; Minnesota, whose Legislature
meets on the second Tuesday in January ;
Nebraska, whose Legislature meets bien-

Among NE novel features Of the occasion
