Another Trlaqapb.
AVe last week- published the glorious
news that the National House of Repre
sentatives had adopted thb 3lontgomery-
Crittcnden Amendment by a handsome
majority of eight, and that the Senate had
refused to entertain, the amendment. This
week we h{lvc another triumph to chroni
cle, of anything more glorious than the
former- On Thursday last the Kansas
question again came up in the House. : —
Mr. Montgomery promptly moved that the
House adhere to its amendment, and Mr.
Grow, cutj off all discussion by moving the
previous question. Mr. Seward ofGeorgia,
moved to recede from the amendment. At
this juncture Mr. English, of 'lndiana,
fearful perhaps of the consequences if Mr.
Montgomery’s motion was put, begged him
to withdraw it, but that gentleman firmly
refused. For a time j considerable confu
sion prevailed, of the members being
fearful"of the ifcsult of the vote. At last
however the ipte was taken on Mr. Mont
gomery’s motion to adhere, and resulted
in the affirmative—yeas 119, nays 111.—
This result is substantially the same as
that on the adoption of the bill, a week ago,
-with the exception that Mr. Marshall and
Mr. Bowie, were paired off. It is however
a greater triumph than at first, os on the
present occasion; then was more danger
of the lake-warm supporters of the amend
ment backing down.
Thus has truth and justice again tri
umphed over, contemplated fraud, in spite
of executive' dictation and executive pa
tronage. This triumph bp been achieved
only by dint of hard fighting on' the part
of noble band of 120.- It must have
been'a hard, very bard struggle fyr some
of tbem*to-resist the blandishments of the
executive and his offers of power and pat
ronage, more appropriately termed plun
der-~but supported and encouraged, if
not actually goaded on by an unmistakable
and irresistible public sentiment, they have
nobly come'thronghtbeffay without losing
one of -their number. Well done gallant
representatives. Ye deserve all praise.—
Theresponsibility how devolves on the
Senate, which body was to take up the
question yesterday. If if refuses again to
do justice to injured Kansas, let the people
mark the traitors and treat them here
after a§ they deserve. But whatever the
Senate may do we hope the gallant 120
of the House will remain firm, and refuse
all compromises, or conferences. To shrink
now is to court apolitical death and unend
ing; infamy.
P. S. The Senate has asked for a com
mitte of conference. We hope the House
will refuse. i

fiopporttoor Paper.
;What papery Why, thq.local paper of;
your town or oountry. sayß ithe Erie Dis- !
patch. Why tto we' find that. every new
town, of thehundxeds springing up around
us, make.it a sine gua non to plant a press
ih their midst the first '.thing they do ?
It is because the sagacious business man
of eastern marts, who is leading these en
terprises, knows well the power of the
press and its invaluable services in building
up and developing country. Its light is
to the business world what the sun is to
our social system. Let it languish and emit
a sickly ray / and you languish with it. Sup
port it well. Give to your paper strength
and vigor, and it imparts to your business a
corresponding life and vitality.
It pays you back ten fold for .all your
patronage. Why, then, would you be
miserly in your favors of patronage ? Why
will you scratch your head when asked to 1
advertise ? and say, “ I’ll think about it.” :
Think about it, you old fogy you ! it is no
question to consider, “But I can’t afford
it.” You can’t ? Then you ought to stop
business forthwith. A man who can’t af-
ford to advertise, can’t afford to do busi
ness. That’s a true thing, and the world
is smart enough 4o know it. Mark what
we say, and test the truth of what we tell
you in our own business.
Then, support your paper. It is noth
ing but your duty as a business man in a
community where the good and prosperity
of all is a common cause.

Letter from ITtali.
Camp Scott, Feb. 26, 1808
Friend J :—Well, here we are vet, although
Madame Rumor says we will soon leave camp.
but as Col. Johnston minds his own business,
no one knows when we will leave. Winter has
broke—at least so say the mountaineers, and
they are men who should know. It did actua'iiv
rain, on the morning of the IGth, something it
never does in this country except in the spring,
after winter is past. However, w.e are still
favored with snow-squalls about tri-weekiv, but
this is net an uncommon occurrence in July up
in this Intitule. T* day it is as pleasant as Mav
is in the otates.
Win.l the intentions of the Mormons are is
not exactly known. Some think the leaders will
leave, and others say thcj\will g.- to the moun
tains and cut off trains and mails, rob passen
gers, &c. The latter supposition 1 thiuk most
likely, as it will just suit Mormons: it don’t
come in contact with cither their consciences or
religion. One thing is certain and that is they '
can't all leave, and even if it were possible for '
all to leave, they can’t take the Territory with 1
them, and it would soon bo filled up by* others.
They do things up in,a systematic manner.— 1
If there is a man in their midst who is in t con - i

the “destroying angels” overtake them before
they get out of the settlement.
Conjecture is life as to what course we will
take in going to .Salt Lake. It is only known
by a few. By the direct course from hero it is

is about 200 miles, wo can avoid all bad canons
and Lave space enough for Phelp’s bull-clogs to

We have a fine battalion of volunteers in the
command, composed of teamsters, &c. Col.
McGraw, of Pennsylvania, commands one com
pany. There are about 3000 effective men iu
the camp and only one woman. By the time
yon receive this, we will be away from this

Salt Lake. The greater portion of the 2d Dra

Execution of Anderson and Rich-
Yesterday the negroes, Alexander Anderson
and Henry Richards, convicted of the murder of
Mrs. Garber and Mrs. Ream, expiated their
crime on the gallows, at Lancaster. )
The prisoners, at an early hour in the morn
ing were naakipg their final preparations for the
awful moment, and Were spending their few last
minutes with their spiritual advisers.
Anderson was a tall, intelligent-looking qiu
latto, about forty years of age, with long, Wrick,
curly hair and whiskers, and exhibiting the dost
contrition of the two for the murder. He wrote
a confession of his crime and a history of - his
life, which, with the circumstances of the murder
and an account of his N exeeutiou, is published by
Mr.- Hi' A. Rockafield, of Lancaster, for the ben
efit of Anderson’s wife and children. The Vol
ume is illustrated with portraits of Richards find
Anderson.
Richards was younger than Andean, smooth
faced,short and stoat. He was also blacker
than his companion. He told different and con
tradictory Stories about his connection with; the
murder, and generally endeavored to fasten
the bloody deed on Anderson.- It was only ] af
ter Jongandtedious endeavors on the pari of
lua defied friends that he at last confessed to
Ids share in the horrid deeed.

jail were high enough to overlook the wells, but
some Yankees had erected a platform on two or
three tree-lops, capable of accommodating some
hundreds of spectators. This stand was rental
out to curious’ individualeat ft dollar h hoad,
and, long before , the hour of execution, was
crowded to excess by a number of males,'end! »'
small number of /emalitl One or - two othep
rickety contrivances were erected, and rented
out at exhorbitant pri cea. The yard leading to
the main entrance was crowded by a large num
ber of spectators, eagerly peering through the
iron gratings. The night previous to the exe
cution both convicts received the holy commun
ion. ■- "■ 'Tii
' Anderson was awake all night, engaged ip de
votional exercises: but Richards elept a little.
In the morning they dressed themselves for their
execution, Anderson in white pants and plain
white Shirt, and Richards in white pants, shirt
and white roundabout, with white gloves.
An affecting scene occurred during the morn
ing, which drew tears from the eyes of many n
stern, strong man. This was Anderson’s last
meeting with his wife and family. \
After Anderson was notified that his last hour
had arrived, be thanked the sheriff for all his
kindness, and after a short interview with Mr.
Garber, Mr. Ream, and his father-in-law, pre
pared to die.
The death-warrant of Governor Packer au
thorized the execution to take place between the
hours of of ten and two o’clock. The sheriff Was
disposed to execute them at, twelve, and so. Sta
ted to the p-risoners. But they declared their
anxiety to pass throitph the dread ordeal with
as little delay as possible, and accordingly fixed
the hour at eleven, or as soon after as possible.
A little previous all the visiters and friend? of
the condemned withdrew, and their last half
hour was spent in close communion with their
t>i iritunl advisers. Their demeanor wa? marked
and characteristic. Anderson was oaliif, com
posed, and resigned.
Richards also was calm and resigned.
The final preparations all being made, the
prisoners proceeded to the gallows.
They ascended the stairs with a firm step, and
by direction of the sheriff knelt down in thoir
respective positions, immediately under the
hooks which were to receive the fatal cords.
Afier hymn arui prayer by Anderson, and the
benediction by a clergyman, the cup was adjus
ted. At minutes before twelve -the
sheriff pulled the cord attached to the lever, and
the platform fell instantly and noiselessly, leav
ing the victims hanging in mid-air. Anderson
did nut even struggle or perceptibly movt.—
Richards seemed to die harder.
A few minutes after twelve, Dr. Henry Car
penter and Dr. Berg, the sheriff s physicians,
'pronounced the convicts dfad, and their bodies
were Ijwerc.i into their coffins uhich were placed
n a wagon and drawn to the Poor House bury
ing ground, followed by four or five hundred
person j, inc ! tiding the family of Audersdn.

original colors cover the head of the bald with a most burns
f riant growth, remove at once all daudrulT and Itching, cure

ami having tried ail the hair restoratives ext ant, and hartn g
, no faith in any, 1 tv as Induced, on hearing ol ypnrn, to give
: it a trial. I placed myself in the'hands of a barber, and
\ h»J my head rubbed with a good stiff brush, aild the resto
; rativo then applied and well rubbed in, till thp. scalp «u
i aglow.- This I repeated every morning, and In threeweek*
i tiie young hivir appeared and grew rapidly from Augustlaat
'till tiie present time, and is now illicit, black rind strong—
'soft and pleasant v 0 tbo touch; whereas, before) it was harsh
and wiry, wha: little there was of It, and that little was
disappearing very rapidly. I still esa youf! 'ReMokattftf'
i about twice wyt-k, anti shall soon have a good and; perfect
j crop of hair. Now 1 ha-1 road all these things—and who
j has not? but have not seen -hitherto any caaej where any
person’s hair was realty l-onefittod by any oftjmbair tuhlc,
elc., of the day: and it really gives mo pleasure to record
