We find in the Charleston Kauawha
Courier the following statement concern
ing the vote on the Convention;
"a careful examination of the returns will
show that the opponents Of a convention
have carried fifteen out of ffty-four coun-
ties in the State, or less than the Repub-
licans carried at the last Gubernatorial
election"
The majority for the Convention will be
between two and three thousand.
The Petersburg Progress records one of
the most remarkable escapes from serious
injury or death we have ever heard of {:
DR.. Richard Adams, of Nottoway county,
who happened, few days ago. to be in
the neighborhood of Maizes' Church, sent
his horse by small negro boy to water.
The boy rode the horse to water as he was
directed, and when returning from water.
with the horse in q full ruu, he saw a boy
approaching him upon a horse belonging
to Mr.. Farley (of the same county, in a
full gallop. The boys were now riding SO
swiftly that they could not manage their
fiery steeds, and at lass they came togeth-
er, the horses heads coming in contact
with each other with such force as to break
the neck Of DR.. Adams horse, and I'M ur-

Reports from Englasd Anticipating q General
Misunderstanding on Immoral Women In the
City OF tho Saints.
SALT LAKE CITY, u T., Dec. II. 1871.
Letters received here yesterday and to-day from
capitalists In England express grave apprehensions
OF civil war in Utah between the Mormons and
Gentiles, and the probability Of the Indians Of
wyoming and Arizona joining the Mormons and
driving the miners The answer to these letters
is that such apprehensions are totally unf0unded;
never was the possibility of o conflict more remote.
The idea Of the Indians from any quarter interfering
against the government or to drive out The miners
is, OF course, absurd In the extreme.
The authority OF the government here ia supreme,
and acknowledged by all classes and creeds. All
the Mormons yield obedience to the processes Of the
United States Courts ana peace and order prevail
everywhere. In part OF the United States Is there
now more security Tor life and property.
The miners OF Dry Canon, in the Uphir district IN
mass meeting, passed series Of resolutions de-
nouncing Jumpers" and the setting up OF pre-.
tended titles to work Known and developed claims;
and recommending that all honest controversies be
lett to the arbitration Of the miners OF the district.
The police have raided on the houses OF Ill fame
and arrested some twenty men and women, who
have been fined each 500. An appeal has been
taken TO the United States Court. One hotel was
entered and the proprietors arrested and fined.
The weather is moderate the roads to the mining
districts being all open, and the mining news highly
encouraging.

many thousand, of years ago, as il was

hair is perfect; the face is somewhat disfg-

not even the great scientific authority of the

teeth are large, well-preseryed, and white !;
the arms are long, the hands small and

From the top of the head to the tip of the
tail it measures four feet two inches; its
chest is thirteen and half inches in cir

inches long, and Its skull four and half
inches broad eight inches is the length

its forehead is two inches high. Here GER
