When JAMES BUCHANAN was inaugurated President of the i nited Slates, a feeling of satis faction pervaded the entire country, and the c nsrrvative and patriotic men of all parties con gratulated each other on the auspicious event.— The whole tenor of the new President's public life, foreshadowed an Administration that would add to the greatness and glory of the nation.— Nor was tf:at foreshadowing untrue. In the short space of one year arid three months, this Administration has been called upon to unrid dle nearly all the difficult and complicated questions connected with the Federal Govern ment. First came thai oflspring of political fanati cism, the Kansas question. This was a prob lem from the solution of which statesmen and legislators shrank aghast. The wise men of (lie nation appioached it with fear and trem bling. Senators and Congressmen discussed it from session to session—quarrelled over it— fought about it—without putting it at rest. Like the ghost of the murdered Banquo, it wo i!d not down at their bidding. The ci vof "Bleeding Kansas!" rent the air from one end of the land to the other, until the common sense, unflinching firmness and lofty patriotism of JAMES BUCHANAN silenced the whining hypo crites that raised it. Kansas is quiet, novs! It bleeds at hut one spot at present, and that is where the blood of JENKINS cries from the ground against the murderer, JAMES H. LANE, the leader of the Kansas Abolitionists. Next came the Nicaragua difficulty. Fili bustering expeditions had been carried on un checked, for years, by some of the ambitious and restless spit its of the country. One of these expeditions was again about to make an incursion into the territory ola friendly people, but JAMES BUCHANAN was in its way litis time, and it was thwarted in its lawless purpose.— 1 Thus another bright page itt the history of our Pennsylvania President, was written. During the same time in which the Kansas and Nicaragua questions occupied the attention ol the Administration, another important and embarrassing exigency demanded its timely and cateful consideration. The rebellious altitude of the Mormons in Utah, threatened (he nation with a grievous and perplexing trouble. Other statesmen had shirked this question—had suffer ed the Mormon cancer to root itself firmly in the body politic. Other Presidents hat! allowed the treasonable bravados of Brigham Young to go unrebuked—had made no effort to cor rect the evil which sprang from his uncurbed fanat icism. It remained for JAMES BUCHANAN to rid the Government of this dangerous embarrass rriei t and his far-reaching wisdom and compre hensive statesmanship have already accomplish ed it. Well may it bo asked, what Administra tion has ever, in so short a period of time, met with so many difficult questions and has solved them so creditably to itself and so satisfactorily to the people, as the glorious Presidency of the ' Sage of Wheatland ?" tl The pretty' verses on our first pace en titled, "Lines to—," were written by a gentle man who for many years lias been considered • lie "Poet Laureate" of Bedford. We are sure tir leaders will admire them. it V~The engineers of the Sherman's Valley Railroad Company, are at present engaged in surveying the route ol that road in this county.

The Mormon difficulty is settled. Brigham Young has peacefully given up the Govern ment of Utah and his followers have submitted to the authority of GOVERNOR GUMMING. TO the bold and vigorous policy of President Bu chanan, we are indebted for this bloodless vic tory—this quiet settlement of a question which so long lias distuibed the peace ol the nation.— We append the Message of the President, an nouncing the submission of the Mormons, and also the interesting letter of Gov GUMMING, de ••cri'-ing his entrance into Salt L ike City and hr -eep'ion by the Saints : (.' ■ Senate and House of Representsives: I transmit the copy of a despatch from Gov ernor Gumming to the, Secretary of State, dated at ( ijeat Salt Like City, on the second of May, and received at the Department of State on yes terday. From this there is reason to believe ihat our difficulties with the Territory of Utah have terminated, and the reign of the constitu tlHl and the laws has been restored. I congrat ulate you on this auspicious event; I lose no time in communicating this infor mation, and in expressing the opinion that there will be no occasion to make any appropriations tor the purpose ol calling into service the two regiments of volunteers authorized by the act of Congress approved on the 7th April last "for the purpose of quelling disturbances in the Ter ritory of Utah, for the protection of supply and emigrant trains, and the suppression of Indian hostilities on the frontier." 1 am the n. :egratified at this satisfactory in telligence from L talt, because it will afford some r< !i.T to the treasury at a time demanding from u- the stricte-t economy, and when the question which now arises upon every appropriation is, whether it be of a character so important and urgent as to brook no delay, and to justify and require a ban, and most probably a tax upon the people to raise the money necessary for its payment. In regard to the regiment of volunteers au thorised by the same act of Congress to be cal led into service, for the defence of the frontier of Texas against Indian hostility, 1 desire to leave this question to Congress, observing at the same time that, in my opinion, tiiis State can he defended for the present by the regular troops, which have not yet been withdrawn from its limits. JAMES BUCHANAN. Washington City, June 10, 1858. LETTER FROM GOV. CUMMIXO EXECUTIVE OFFICE, Great Salt Lake City, U. T.. May 2, ISSS. SIR: You are aware that my contemplated journey was postponed in consequence of tiie snow on the mountains and in the canons be tween Fort Bridget- and this city. In accor dance with tiie determination communicated in former notes, I left camp on the sth, and arri ved here on the 12th ult. Some of the incidents of my journey are rela ted in the annexed note, addressed by me to ColSnel A. S. Johnston on the 15th inst. "EXECUTIVE OFFICE, "Great Salt Lake Citj', U. T., April 15, 1858. "SIR: 1 left camp on the sth, en route to this city, in accordance with a determination communicated to you on the 3d inst., accompa nied by Colonel Kane, as my guide, and two servants. Arriving in the vicinity of the spring ■ which is on this side of the 'Quaking Asp' hit!, after night, Indian camp fires were discerned on the rocks overhanging the valley. We pro ceeded to the spring, and, after disposing of the animals,retired from the trail beyond the moun tain. We had reason to congratulate ourselves upon having taken this precaution as we sub sequently ascertained that the country lying between your outposts and the 'Yellow' is in fested by hostile renegades and outlaws from various tribes. "1 was escorted from Bear River valley to the western end of Echo canon; the journey through the canon being performed, for the most part, after it was about eleven o'clock, p. m., when J arrived at Weber station. I have been everywhere recognised as the gov ernor of Utah; and, so far from having encoun teied insults or indignities, I am gratified in be ing able to state to you that, in passing through the settlements, I have been univeisall.v greeted with such respectful attentions as are due to the representative of the executive authority of the United States in the Territory. "Near the Warm springs, at the line divi ding Great Salt Lake and Davis counties, I was honored with a formal and respectful reception by many gentlemen, including the mayor and other municipal officers of the r.itv,and hv them escorted to lodgings previously provided, the mayor occupying a seat in my carriage. "Kx-Governor Brigham Young paid me a call of ceremony as soon as I was sufficiently relieved from the fatigue of my mountain jour ney to receive company. In subsequent inter views with the i'X-governor he has evinced a willingness to a/lord nu every facility which T may require for the efficient performance of my | administrative-duties. His course in this re- J spect meets, I fancy, with the approval of a | majority o( this community. The territorial ! seal, with other public property, has been ten dered me by William H. Hooper, nflK'— Many acts of depredation have been recently committed by Indians upon the property of the inhabitants—one in the immediate vicinity of j this city. Believing that the Indians will en | deavor to sell the stolen property at or near the camp, I herewith enclose ttie brand book (in- J complete) and memoranda (in part) of stock {lost by citizens of I tab since February 25, ; 1858, and two letters addressed to me on the .same subject by W illiatn 11. Hooper, esq., late | acting secretary pro tern., which may enable j you to secure I tie property and punish the thieves. "With feelings of profound regret I have j learned that Agent Hurt is charged u ith bav j ing incited to acts of hostility the Indians in j 1.-nita valley. I hope that Agent Hurt will be j able to vindicate himself from the charges con- tainod in the enclosed letter from William II- Hooper, late secretary pro trm., yet they de mand a thorough investigation. "I shall probably be compelled to make a re quisition upon you lor a sufficient force to chas tise the Indians alluded to, since I desire to a void being compelled to call out the militia for that pur[>ose. "The gentlemen who are intrusted with this note, Mr. John B. Kimball and Mr. Fay Wor then. are engaged in mercantile pursuits here, ann are represented to be gentlemen of the highest respectability, and have no connection with the church here. Should you deem it ad visable or necessary, you will please send any communications intended for me by them. I beg leave to commend them to your confidence and courtesy, they will probably return to the city in a few days. They are well known to Messrs. Gilbert, Perry, and Barr, with whom you will please communicate. "Very respectfully, your obedient servant. "A. GUMMING, Governor of I t ah Territory. "A. S. JOHNSTON, Col. of'Cavaliy, commanding Army of 111 ah, Fort Scott, U. S." The note omits to state that I met parties of armed men at Lost and Yellow creeks, as well as at Echo canon. At every point, however, 1 was recognised as the governor of Utah, and received with a military salute. When it was arranged with the Mormon officer in command of my escort that I should pass through Echo canon at night, I inferred t la! it was with pie object ot concealing the bi rricades and other defences. 1 was therefore agreeably surprised j by an illumination in honor to me. The bon fires kindled by the soldiers from the base to tlie summits of the walls of the canon completely illuminated the valley and disclosed the snow covered mountains which surrounded us. When I arrived at the next station I found the "emi grant road," over the "Big mountain," still im passable. I was able to make my way, how ever, down "Weber canon." Since my arrival I have been employed in examining the* records of tlie supreme and dis trict courts, which Tarn now prepared to report as being perfect and unimpaired. This will doubtless be acceptable information to those who have entertained an impression to the con trary. 1 have also examined the legislative records and other books belonging to the office of tile- Secretary of Slate, which are in perfect preser vation. The property return, though not made up in proper form, exhibits the public property for which W. H. Hooper, lat-* Secre tary of Stale, is responsible. It is, in part, the same for which the estate of A. VV. Babbitt is liable, that individual having died whilst in the office ol Secretary of State fir Utah. I believe that the books and charts, stationery and oilier property, appertaining to the Survey or General's office, will, upon examination, be found in the proper place, except some instru ments, which are supposed to have been dispo sed of by a person who was temporarily in charge of the office. I examined the property, but cannot verify the matter, in consequence oi not having at my command a schedule or prop erty return. Tlie condition of the large and valuable ter ritorial library has also commanded iny atten tion, and 1 am pleased in being able to report that Mr. YV. C.Staines, the librarian, has kept the books and records in most excellent condi tion. f will, at an day. transmit %a cata logue of this library, and schedules of the other public property, with certified copies of the records of the supreme and district courts, ex hibiting the character and amount of tlie public business last transacted in them. On the 21st instant I left Great Salt Lake City, and visited Tuilla and Rush valleys, in the latter of which lies the military reserve se lected dy Colonel Steptoe, and endeavored (<> • tiace the lines upon the ground from field-notes which are in the surveyor general's office. An accurate plat ol ttie reserve, as it has been meas ured off", will be found accompanying a com munication, which I shall address to tlie Secre tary of War, upon this subject. On the morning of the 2Tth instant, informa tion was communicated to me that a number of persons who were desirous of leaving theTern tory were unable to do so, and considered them selves to be unlawfully restrained of their liber ty. However, desirous of conciliating popular opinion, I felt it incumbent upon me to adopt the most energetic measures to ascertain tlie truth or falsehood of this s'atement. Postpo ning, therefore, a journey of importance, which I had in contemplation, to one of the settle ments of Utah county, I caused public notice to be given immediately of my readiness to re lieve all persons who were, or deemed them selves to be aggrieved, and on the ensuing day, which was Sunday, requested the following no tice to be read, in my presence, to the people at the Tabernacle : "NOTICE. "It lias t>pcn reported to me that there are persons residing in this anil in other parts of the Territory who are illegally restrained of their liberty. It is, therefore, proper that t should announce that J a-su-ne ttie protection of all such persons, if any there be, and request that they will communicate to me their names and places of residence, under seal, through Mr Fay Worthed, or to me in person, during my stay in the city. "A.GUMMING, "Governor of Utah Territory." I have since kept my office open at all hours of tlie day and night, and have registered no less than 56 men, 33 women, and 7 I children, as desirous of my protection and assistance in pro ceeding to the States. The large majority of these people are of English biith, and state that they leave the congregation from a desire to improve their circumstances, and realize else where more money bv their labor. Certain lea ding men among the Mormons have promised to furnish them flour, an assist them in leavinc'the ' Ol country. My presence at the meeting in the Taberna cle will be remembered by me as an occasion of intense interest. Between three and four thousand persons were assembled for the pur purpese of public worship : the hall was crow ded to overflowing : but the most profound quiet was observed u hen 1 appeared. President Brig ham Young introduced me by name as the governor of Utah, and I addressed the audience from "tlie stand." I informed them that I tiad come among them to vindicate tlie national sovereignty ; that it was my duty to secure the srpremacy of the constitution and the laws; that I had taken my oath of office to exact an unconditional submission on their part to the dictates of (he law. I was rot interrupted. In a discourse of about thirty minutes duration, 1 touched (as I thought best j boldly upon all the leading questions at issue between them and the general government. I remembered that 1 had to deal with men embittered by the re membrance and recital of many real and some imaginary wrongs, but did not think it wise to withhold from them the entire truth. They listened respectfully to ail that I had to say approvingly even, 1 fancied—when I explained to them what 1 intended should be the -charac ter of my administration. In fact, the whole manner of the people was calm, betokening no consciousness of having done wrong, but rather, as it were indicating a conviction that they had done their duty to their religion and to their country. I have observed that the Mor mons profess to view the constitution as the work of inspired men, and respond with readi ness to appeals for its support. Thus the meeting might have ended. Hut, after closing my remarks, 1 rose and stated that I would be glad to hear from any who might be inclined to address me upon topics of interest to the community. This invitation brought forth in successi m several powerful speakers, who evidently exercised qgreat influence over the masses of the ppople. 1 hey harangued on the subject of the assassination of Joseph Smith, jr., and his friends ; the services rendered by the Mormon battalion to an ungrateful country ; their sufferings on "the plains'" during their dreary pilgrimage to their mountain home, .Nc. The congregation became greatly excited, and joined the speakers in their intemperate remarks, exhibiting more phrenzy thuri 1 had expected to witness among a people who habitually exercise self-control. A speaker now represented the federal government as desirous of needlessly introducing the national troops into the Territo ry, "whether a necessity existed for their employment to support the authority of the civil officers ojp not and the wildest uproar ensued. I was fully confirmed in the opinion that this people, wit ti their extraordinary reli gion and customs, would gladly encounter certain death rather than be taxed with a sub mission to tile military power, which they con sidered to involve a loss of honor. In my first address I had informed tin in that they were entitled to a trial by their peers ; that .1 had no intention ol stationing the army in immediate' contact with their settlements and that the military posse would not be resorted to until other means of arrest had been tried and failed. I found the greatest difficulty in ex plaining these points, so great was the excite ment. Eventually, however, the efforts of Biigham loiing were successful in calming the tumult and restoring order before the adjourn ment of tlie meeting. It is proper that 1 should add that more than one speaker has since expressed his regret at having been betrayed into intemperance of language in my presence. The President and the American people will learn with gratification the auspicious issue of our difficulties here. I regret the necessity which compels ir.e to mingle with my congratu lations the announcement of a fact which will occasion gravp concern. The people, including the inhabitants of this city, are moving from every settlement in the northern part of the Territory. The roads are everywhere filled with wagons loaded with provisions and household furniture, the women and children, often u ithout shoes or hats, dri ving their flocks they know not where. The) seem not only resigned, but cheerful. "It is the will of the LordfanA they rejoice fo ex change tlie comforts of borne for the trials of the wilderness. Their ultimate destination is not, I apprehend, definitely fixed upon, "fin ing south" seems sufficiently definite for most of (hem, but many believe that their ultimate ; destination is Souora. Young, Kimball, and most of the influential men have left their commodious mansions, with out apparent regret, to lengthen the long train of wanderers. The masses everywhere an nounce to me that the torch will be applied to to every house, indiscriminately, throughout tlie country, so soon as the troops attempt to cross the mountains. I shall follow these peo ple, and endeavor to rally them. Numbers whom I have met appear to be in dread of the Indians, whom the distressed condition of the whites lias encouraged to commit extensive de- j predations. I may at least quiet the appre hensions of these persons, and induce some of them to return. Our military force could'overwhelm most ofj these poor people, involving men, women, and ! children, in a common fate ; but there are a- ! mong the Mormons many brave men, accustom- ! ed to arms anil horses ; men who would fight > desperately as guerrillas, au i, if the settlements : are destroyed, will subject the country to an ! expensive and protracted war, without anv compensating results. They will, I am sure, submit to trial by their peers, but they will not biook the idea o! trials by "juries composed of teamsters and followers of the camp," nor of an army encamped in their ciliesov dense settle ments. I have adopted means to recall the few re maining Mormons in arms who have not vet it is said, complied with my request to with draw from the canons and the eastern frontier. I have also taken measures to piotect the build- 1 ings which have been vacated in the northern settlements. lam sanguine that I w ill save a great part of the valuable improvements there. I shall leave this city for tlie south to-morrow. After I have finished my business there, I shall return as soon as possible to the army, to com plete the arrangements which will enable me before long, I trust, to announce that the road between California and Missouri may be travel led with perfect security by teams and emi grants of every di script ion. I shall restrain all operations of tlie military for the present, which will probably enable me to receive from the President additional instruc tions, if he deems it necessary to give them. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, A. GUMMING, Governor of Utah, lion. LEWIS CASS, Secretary of Stale, Washing ton City, D. C. FROM WASHINGTON. [Correspondence of Ike Bedford Gazette. WASHINGTON, JI NE 10, TSF,B. Ihe election for Mayor, and other munici pal officers, which took place here on Monday last, passed off quietly, and resulted in the com plete triumph of the Democratic party. Col. JAMES BURKETT, tlie regular Democratic nomi nee, received the handsome majority of 571, whilst six ont of seven wards elected Democrat ic Aldermen and Councilmen. 1 lie result of this election is gratifying in many respects. Viewed politically, as well as morally, it is of significant import. It will be remembered, that for years this city has been under the rule of Knovv-Nothingism, the scene of outrage and crime. At the election held one year ago, the country was shocked with the deeds of wrong perpetrated by a band ol oath bound conspirators, who attempted to prevent quiet arid peaceful citizens from voting. Jt will also be recollected that JAMES Been AN AN 'as President of the United Slates, was called upon by the authorities ol the * ity to aid in maintaining peace; this ho promptly did by cal ling out a military force under the directions of Capt. TYLER, and Major MAORI unit, W ho, by force of arms, quelled the disturbance. Not withstanding ttie prompt interference of the ! President was sustained by the approbation of all good men, the charge was boldly made by the mongrel opposition to the Democratic par ty, that the chief magistrate of the Union had usurped his authority, in calling out the Ma rines, and was responsible for the blood spilled on that lamentable occasion. What now does the record prove? The people of Washing ton city have, by their votes, sustained the ac tiuii of the President, by giving an overwhelm ing majoiity in favor of the democratic candi date. Thus, by the bold and decided course of the President lias all opposition to law and or j der been flushed, and the capital of this gn at country saved from the rule c! bad and vicious men. The result of this election is a great triumph, when considered in connection with the ques tion ol admitting Kansas under the Lecompton constitution, as recommended by the President. Mr. Berret, the Democratic candidate for May or, being an open and avowed advocate of that measure, and a friend of the administration in every respect, the Know-Nothings and Black Republicans supported their candidate upon the ground of opposition to the President's Kansas policy. It is well understood here, that black republican members ot Congress were very ac tive in aiding their candidate, avowing it as their purpose, in case of success, to claim it as an Anii-Lecornpton triumph, and to herald it forth to the country that the adininistiation was defeated at its very door. Ttie issue was ac cepted by the Democracy, and the result shows how handsomely the administration has been j sustained. The intelligence from the city &f New Or leans indicates a bad state of affairs. That city ! having suffered from the mad inle of the dark lantern party for several years, it appears that i the citizens are determined to inaugurate a new ; state of affairs. A resort to revolution is at all i times a feariuLMternative, but occasionally ne- ■ cessary. When governments Ix-comd oppres sive, the immortal spirit of '7(i will naturally 1 loom up, and drive the oppressed to desperate action. Without giving ail opinion in justifica tion of the operations of Vigilance Committees as we have seen them in San Francisco and New Orleans, I can weil imagine a state of af fairs to justify tlie law ami order populace of our large cities in forcilde overthrowing their form ol government. And if lam not greatly mistaken, the signs of the times clearly indicate that our people \>. ill no longer submit to the r ign of bad men banded together by oaths and cabalistic signs. it will be very gratifying to the business and ! industrious poitiori of our people to know, that ! the financial and commercial affairs of oui ! country are assuming a healthy condition. In ; referring to this matter, the Washington Union of the 9th ins!., says : " l lie .-.tatistics for May show a gradual, and, ' because gradual, a healthy improvement in the finances and commerce of tlie country. The fact that this recuperation is slowly and not sudden ly progressive, is one of the most encouraging! feat uies in our financial affairs. The pressure: came upon us las! summer suddenly as a clap of thunder from an August sky: spreading hav oc, terror and bankruptcy ovei the face of the land. A sudden recuperation and reckless i launching out into the sea ol speculation and extravagance would be ominous of another and more destructive collapse of credits and busi ness. Very different from this, however, is the real state ot the case. The w hole country is pursu ing a rigid system of curtailment and liquids- ■ tion. Our I ueign trade is the barometer of our domestic trade; and every indication cf our for- ! eign commerce proves that economy and re trenchment are the reigning principles in the whole busin'ss ol the country. We are selling more in quantity than we ever did be fore—though, owing to tlie low prices of our staples, we realiz- from our exports a smaller I v alue than we have done in the two past yeais, counted in dollars and cents. While the ex port trade of the country is more active than ever, our import trade is healthily curtailed.— Take, for example, the cnmpaiative figures for May lor three years. The total entries of im ports at .New \ o:k in this month have been as follows : 1856 SIB,TI 1,112 1857 18,705,255 1858 * 1 1,454,703 The figures show a curtailment, in Ihe im ports of a month at a single port, of more than seven millions of dollars from the importations ofpa.-t years." It is now thought that the government of Great Britain will promptly disavow the late outrages ol British vessels on our commerce.— It is tube hoped that they will do so without equivocation or reservation. Should they not, however, war must be the result. The House has passed the Senate resolution postponing the adjournment of Congress tiil Monday the 11th inst. This will afl'oid time, it is thought, to insure the completion of all bu siness, and also avoid the necessity of an extra session in case of unfavorable news from Eu rope. The weather during the week, lias been ex cessively hot: thermometer ranging from 90 to 95. The adjournment ol Congress will be the signal fir (lie departure of a vast portion of the citizens of Washington to the different water ing places throughout the country. Bedford Springs, the most delightful spot on earth, will no doubt he well attended. I hope the Presi dent may reconsider his determination not to leave Washington this summer, and visit Bed ford as usual, tlie place of all others he pr efers as om of recreation. In fact, it would not seem like a Spring Season unless MR. BLCIIAN- be there, so long and so regularly lias he honored Bedford with his presence. Cer tainly there is no man living for whom tlie cit izens of Bedford county entertain so exalted a regard as they do for JAMES BUCHANAN, and I know he fully appreciates their friendship. B.

Medicines are the antidotes to disease and should be applied to the very seat of the disease. Inhalation is the application of this principle to the treatment of the lungs, for it gives us direct access to those intricate air cells and tubes which lie out of reach of every other means of administering medi cines. Inhalation brings the medicine indirect con tact with the disease, without the disadvantage of any violent action. Its application is so simple, that it can be employed by the youifgest infant or feeblest invalid. It does not derange the stomach, comfort oi businessof the patient.
