That is, that no partial mai-na tion of !•isill.Lake City has taken place. The telegraphic dispatches, however, go on to State that Col Kane, " tr/10 was sent out a 5 a peace compniagtont r,'' 11118 hail sevei al con ferences a ith the Mormons, and reports them generally disposed to maintain pence, ikc.- -Ntnityfront-thebtationfricinntnm -aro can ob= tam to•day, this Col. Kane, it seems, is not a re•retgnvod agent of the Governortnt in any position, but there is good reason to believe him a Mormon emoisary and an arrant chest.

Smith, The death of this brave man his cast a gloom over the couritry. lie died on the 16th inst., at Leavenworth, Kansas. Nearly ever since his service in the Mexican war, General Smith has suffered with chronic diar rhea, and it is probable that this was the cause of his death. Ile leaves a widow and an only son—Dr Howard Smith, of:New Orleans —the child of his first marriage Gls brother Will other relatives reside in Phila delphia. in his demise the country loses an able and gal'ant officer and a large circle of re,latives and acquaintances will mourn the I lOU of a valued and excellent friend and most worthy gentleman. Gen S. was born in Philad I Iphia, in No vembet‘ I 798. and was in the 61)th year of his age. Ile was the ton 9f Jonathan Smith. fpruier cashier of the Bank of Pennsylvania, and afterward 3 of the Bank of the United States. After graduating at Prnteetnn, hl studted law under the late Charles Chauncey, Esq., of Philadelphia, and op his admission to practice, removed to New Orleans, where he resided until the period of the Flom% war, when he volunteered and nerved gallantly timing two campaigns under t :elle' al tlaines It was there that his military talent attract ed the notice of Gen Taylor, and oil his re commendation the Governor of Imniniaria gave Smith the command of the Imisianw volunteers for services in elm war with Mex ico. Ile served u 'der General Taylor in the eampatgn ut the Itio Grande. Ile wax twice brevetted fur m-ritori ins onudnct, and wore his laurels VI ith the unitlesty Of a true gen tleman.

Silly charges, says the Washington Un ion, scarcely ever deserve the comididient of serious notice ; but as there are various and sundry silly charges, urged by the defeated coalition,against the act which has just pas ! sed for the admission of Kansas into the Onion, which are leveled at the land ordb , nance which it submits to popular vote in Kansan—we may as well expose the stupidi ty of these charges, and the stultifiCation which those whq, - urge them commit, by simply comparing the land clause embodied in this act, Wlffolliat wliThlinfas incorpora ted in the Crittenden amendment, a n d re• ceived the sanction of the whole opposition vote in the Senate, and with thin Anse which was incorporated in the Montgomery substitute, for which every opposition morn ber in the House is recorded as VOtill4e. In order that there may be no possible mistake on the subject, we shall place all three of these ordinances side by shit in the same column.
