THE HUNTINGDON GLOBE, A DEMOCRATIC FAMILY JOURNAL, DEVOTED TO LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS, &C. The Washington States on the Public Printing Plunder. On Wednesday last, Mr. Cameron of Penn sylvania, made some remarks in the Senate on tho subject of the public printing, which confirms, in every particular, the statements made by us last summer. When we first called attention to the enormity of the public printing plunder, we were charged with gross exaggerations ; but the truth is now out, and our readers will see for themselves that we drew no fancy picture, We were the first to call attention to this enormity, and Congress has now taken the proper steps in this matter to ensure a speedy reform.— According-to Mr. Cameron's statement : The cost of Congressional printing has suddenly increased so largely as to be now a subject of serious interest to the whole coun try. In 1847, only 'eleven years ago, the whole sum paid for paper, printing and bind ing, amounted only to $64,691 96. This was under -the contract system, when the work was given to the lowest bidder. Some three or four years later, this system was changed, ist the instance, mainly, of persons interested in high prices. The new system was a mixed one. The prices were fixed by the law, and the Gov ernment under it has become the purchaser of paper and other materials. The office of Superintendent of Printing has been estab lished, and that officer become a functionary of the Government, in many instances, irre sponsible to any authority, though nominally responsible to the Committee on Printing of each house. Ile buys the paper, orders the engravings, and controls the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is not my purpose to inquire into the manner in which the duties of that office have been fulfilled ; much less is it my wish to impute wilful wrong - to any one connected with the management of the public printing. I desire only to draw the attention of the Senate to the enormous cost of the work, with the hope that the present committee will be sustained in their labors of retrench ment. The cost of printing, paper, and binding, from July 1, 1856, to March 4, 1857, amount ed to the sum of $1,258,210 42. The bind ing alone for that period, it will be seen, was more than six times as flinch as the whole cost of paper, printing and binding, for the year 1847. The cost for the year just ended .1 have not been able to obtain - but it is probably over a million and a itaZf of dol lars. great deal of this extravagance of ex penditure has arisen from the loose manner in which Congress has ordered the printing of reports by officers of the army and navy, and other functionaries sent upon exploring duties. It has been common, I am told, to direct the printing of such reports without examination, permitting the officer to com plete his report while the work is progress ing in the hands of the printer. Such has been the course with the Coast Survey, the Japan Expedition, the Mississippi and Pa cific Railroad report, and many others. The .Coast Survey report cost, for printing, and materials,. for the year 1856, the enor mous sum of $78,441 70. Gillis' report has already cost over $100,000: and the estima ted cost of the whole work as ordered is $149,107 97. The Japan Expedition report, which has been completed and paid for, cost the sum of $240,486 72. Of Emory's Mexi can boundary report, one volume has been printed, and has already cost $107,580 ; the second volume has been ordered, and is esti mated to cost slo4,slo—making, in all, the sum of $212,000 for that work. But the Pacific Railroad report is beyond all its.asso ciations in magnificence of price. Five vol umes have been printed ; four more are in the Lands of the printer. The work already done has cost $526,117 ; the balance is esti mated to cost s33s,3oo—making a total of $861,417 ; but the reality in the end will probably reach over a million. Capt. 'Wilkes' report was the first of the series of " splendid books" ordered by Con gress, and by what I have showed, it will be seen to have been a plentiful mother of cost ly books. Its costs I have not been able to learn. The expedition under the command of that officer, which was conducted by him with great ability,- was a favorite with the country ; and in their gratitude the Congress of the United States seemed willing to let him print the book to suit himself, and, I believe, to keep the copies when printed. The Patent Office report has been a favor ite of the country ; and, like all favorites, it has been perthitted to overgrow its proper dimensions. Originally one small andinter esting volume of well selected facts and tried opinions, it has now beCome three volumes ; one devoted to agriculture, and the others to inventions in the mechanic arts. It should be condensed, if its usefulness is to be con tinued. Its cost for the year 1857 was $375,- 286. It cost the Government 70 cents a copy, and it can be bought in any number, I am told, in the bookstores of this city for 15 cents—a pretty fair evidence that the number printed is much greater than the Country needs. Wesley Frost, the Democratic Candidate for Canal Commissioner—A Saddler by Trade--A Democrat by Nature. Our county has been honored by the recent Democratic State Convention in the nomina tion of one of her most worthy citizens for the important office of Canal Commissioner. As a public man Wesley. Frost is somewhat known to the people of the Commonwealth ; and - we propose to give a very brief sketch of his private life and character. Like most of the leading men of the age, he arose from the humblest walks of life: In his youthful days there was no boy on the play-grounds who could say with truth that he was poorer in this world's goods than Wesley Frost.— At an early age he was bound by indentures to the saddling business. In his intercourse with his companions and his deportment to to his employer lie gave promise to those sterling. qualities of head and heart, which after years commended the man - to the confi dence and esteem of his fellow-citizens. So correct was_he in his deportment and so trne to the instincts of his nature that even in his boyhood days ".his word was considered as _good as his bond with approved security. ,, _ He served his time • faithfully and honestly, agreably... to' his indentures until coming of age, when according to the customs, he re ceived his "freedom suit" accompanied by the kindest and best wishes of his employer and all his household. Of industrious hab its, he immediately upon being freed from his indentures commenced work as a jour neyman, and bYfrugality and economy saved from his earnings a comfortable mainte nance. Ambitious and energetic, he soon set up business for himself. He applied himself industriously and attentively..to car rying on his trade; and as he grew in . age, be grew, also in, the confidence and affections of his neighbors. Trained in the school of adversity, his political sentiments were very naturally those of the Democratic party, and. he adhered to them with all the tenacity of his nature. Having made himself known to the people of his county by his discreet and efficient support of Democratic principles and usages, he was nominated by his party in the stirring times of 1844 for the office of Sheriff. He was triumphantly elected over the candidate of the Whig party, who was a brother-in-law, and one of the most popular men in the opposite ranks. As Sheriff of his county, no man ever left a better record ' than Wesley Frost. Upon retiring from the office of Sheriff he returned to his home in Brownsville, and resumed work at his trade. He continued to work at his trade, devoting when occasion required it, a portion of his time and attention to the success of his par ty, until the spring of 1853, when he was appointed by President Pierce Marshal of the Western District of Pennsylvania. Here his abilities were called into a more extended field, and he proved himself fully equal to the high duties devolved upon him. It was in this office that he came in contact with his fellow-citizens of different sections of the State, and by his courtesy, affability and - dignified .deportment made 'himself a State popularity. As Marshal of the Western District he was all that could be expected of a public of ficer—honest, faithful and efficient in the dis charge of his duties, courteous and dignified in his intercourse with his fellow-citizens.— He held. this office four years, awl at the expiration of his commission returned to Brownsville, and again resumed work at his trade. Indeed when Marshal of the District, it was not an uncommon thing to see him at - work in his shop ; for at intervals of relief from his public duties he invariably put on his apron and went to work at his trade.— He is at this time engaged at his trade in Brownsville, under the old sign of " Wesley Frost, saddle and harness maker," and when his friends call to see him, they are kindly received in his shop, where they find him with his coat off and apron on, as intently and industriously engaged in working at his trade as he was in the earlier and less fortu nate days of his life. In addition to being an industrious mechanic, Wesley Frost is a high-minded honorable gentleman, and no man stands higher than he in the estimation of his fellow-citizens of all parties. His nomination for Canal Commissioner was a compliment - worthily bestowed, and will be responded to at the polls by the people of the South-Western counties, in the most em phatic terms of approbation.—Genius of Lib erty. [From the Harrisbnrg Kuttone.] The Three Mill Tag. Mr. EDITOR :—The repeal of the Tonnage Tax on the Pennsylvania and Harrisburg & Lancaster Railroads being a question now before our State Legislature, it is desirable that the subject—the operation and result of this tax—should be correctly understood in all its bearings. Many object to its repeal under the belief that the repealing it would be a gratuity and benefit conferred on those railroad. Companies —and so much of a loss, as its amount, to the people of the State. This however is an entire mistake;—ex cept so far as its repeal might enable them to get more through trade and travel, com ing from beyond the limits of the State, than they now can, or do. Those companies un der their respective characters have the pow er and right to charge higher rates than they now do. Their charges on such through business must and will, at all times, be regu lated and determined by those of competing, lines on the north and south of them. Con sequently and ineveitably, while those con panics arc controlled by persons, capable and disposed to take care of and protect their interests, the whole of this Tonnage Tax, while it exists, is, must, and will have to be paid by the people of the State ; or in other words, by the local trade and travel within it; with added charges for the trouble and expense of ascertaining its amount, and to make sure of having enough. Not only this, but also—what may not have occured to many affected by it—that since the Penn sylvania Railroad Company have purchased and own the Columbia Railroad as part of the Main Line, it is but natural that this Compa ny should—and it does, charge a proportion ate part of this Tonnage Tax on and to the local trade and travel passing over the Co lumbia Railroad. So that the people of all the &unties through which the Columbia Rail ad passes, and of all the counties of the State through which Railroads pass, con necting with it, directly or indirectly, from which trade and travel comes or is sent, and which, in part, passes over the Columbia - Railroad, as well as the Pennsylvania Rail road proper, in point of fact, pay a portion of the aggregate amount of this- Tonnage Tax. The result therefore of this tax, so far as regards the interests of the people of the State, being precisely similar to that of the policy of a man who gives one hundred dol lars out of one pocket to be enabled to put ninety dollars into another pocket. In the nature of things, while it exists, those who control those Roads, where they can, 'will—and it must be conceded they ought—make such charges as will indemify them for this tax, and b a fair compensa tion for their capitol, expense and riks.— They cannot charge a proportion of this tax on the trade and travel coming from without the limits of the State, for the reason that no such. tax is charged on the competing routes on the north and south, and their charges must be regulated by those of their rivals through other States ; and it necessarily fol lows that they must, they will, and they do charge the whole of its ag g regate amount on the local trade and travel within the State, with something added for the expense and trouble 8-.;c., consequent on its existence. But it is said by some, that even if this tax was repealed, those companies would still continue to charge no less than they now do, or otherwise would, on the local trade and travel within the State. Such opinion, hoiv ever, is directly contrary to the ordinary course of Ilettnam action, and to some extent must be founded on latent _prejudice. Those who control those roads will, in the first place, charge what they consider a fair compensa tion for their capital, expenses and risks, and - at least the whole amount of this tax. if not something more. And especially will they be .likely to charge somewhat more, if they think the tax ought, not to he imposed on them. The question in regard to this tax ought not to be decided- by - any feeling of either of friendship or hostility towards the com panies paying it, but solely with reference to what is the true interest of the people of the State, and - the trade and travel within it. COMMON SENSE. Western Emigration Earlier than usual, the annual efflux of population, from the East to the West, has begun. The trains from the New EngUp.d. and Middle States carry out, daily, scores of people, who go to establish new homes in .dis tant regions. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi gan, Kentucky, and. other States, once called the Far West, aro now Western no longer, and hundreds of their inhabitants are mov ing Westward. The great Mississippi is now the dividing line between the East and the West, and Kansas, Minnesota, lowa, and Nebraska are tho regions whither Emigra tion is tending. "The West," as a goal for settlers, is a moveable land, that recedes as civilization advances. It will continue to re cede, until New Mexico, Utah, Dacotah, Washington and Oregon are peopled, and then there will be no more vacant land, to be bought at government prices ; there will be no more " West," unless the pushing spirit of the race shall impel some of them across the Pacific Ocean, to take possession of Chi na and Japan and Yankeefy the Asiatic na tions. A century or two, at the rate at which we have lately advanced, will suffice to fill up comfortably the present territory belonging to the United States. Then the current of our locomotive population will no longer be a fierce tide setting in one direction; but will become a healthy circulation among all parts, directed and controlled by the requirements of commerce and trade. The centre of busi ness and capital may, by that time, shift to wards the geographical centre of the nation, and the Atlantic region, whose strength and wealth are so largely dependent upon fiireign commerce, may become less strong and less wealthy than the interior region, whose com merce will be wholly domestic, unrestrained by tariffs, and not easily subjected to the convulsions and risks of foreign markets.— When the Mississippi Valley shall contain a population of one hundred millions of people, active and industrious, there will be a domestic trade far surpassing the present foreign trade of the United States. And when the Pacific States shall be thickly settled, and railroads shall lead from Oregon, Washington and California, to a score of places on the Gulf of Mexico, the Mississippi, and the Lakes, there will be a foreign commerce on the Pacific, with the ports of Asia and South. America, which will surpass the present foreign com merce of the Atlantic. It is to such a state of things, which per sons already born may live to witness, that the settlement of the Western domain of the United States is leading, and it is the pros pect of such a condition of things that makes the phenomenon of the annual emigration to the Westward so interesting. When we are told that every steamboat on the Missouri and Upper Mississippi, is crowded with emigrants, and that every train of cars from St. Lonis westward carries out a hundred or more, we hear the prophetic signs of the great western empire ; we see the tokens of a change which is to be wrought in the world's affairs, that may be scarcely less momentous than that wrought by the discovery of America. It will really be the opening of a new world, and will surpass in its results even the grand ex -pectations of the early Genoese, Spanish, and Portuguese navigators. Those early expec tations of the days of Columbus were, after all, little better than wild and greedy visions of gold, coupled with a sort of middle-age su perstition. The cross and the crucible were alike carried by the navigators ; nay, the crucible derives its name from the figure of a cross stamped upon it; thus strangely did the people of the fifteenth and sixteenth cen tury seek to hallow and ennoble even their passion for gold. Avarice and superstition thus went hand in hand in those old days., and the Spanish American settlements foun ded by such agents, have never'yet got rid of the first impressions made upon them. The more enlightened and liberal ideas of the English, the Dutch and the Swedish settlers were required to give the first genuine im pulse to civilization and freedom, which is civilization—in the New World. The emigration to the Western States, in these later times, is like the emigration of the Northern European races to America.— It is a movement of freedom, of civilization, of industry, of energy, and of enlightment.— It will create States, in regions yet occupied by Indians and buffaloei , , that may rival the great states of Europe, not only in area, but in wealth and importance. It may at times, as it progresses and while its work is yet un fulfilled, cause inconvenience and disaster, from the - violent transfer of capital from one region to another. But nothing can serious ly retard it, nothing can interrupt its steady course for any length of time. The land must be filled, and new commonwealths must be established, which will carry civil and re ligious freedom across the continent, and pre pare it to be transported across the Pacific to the "fresh woods and pastures new" of Asia.—Bulleti n. The Senate Bill for the Admission. of Kansas. The following is an entirely correct copy of the Leconipton bill, in the shape in which it passed the Senate on Tuesday a week last by the following vote—yeas 33, nays 25. A bill for the admission of the State of Kan . sas into the Union. 'Whereas, The people of the Territory of Kansas did, by a Convention of delegates called and assembled at Lecompton, Septem 4, 1857, for that purpose, form for themselves a Constitution and State Government, which said Constitution is republican, and the said Convention having asked the admission of the Territory into the Union as a State on an equal footing with the original States : Be it enacted by the Senate and Rouse of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the State of Kansas shall be, and is hereby, de dared to be one of the United States of America, and admitted into the Union on an equal footing with the original States, in all respects whatever; and the said State shall consist of all the territory included within the following boundaries, to wit: :Beginning at a point on the western boundary of the State of Missouri, where the thirty-seventh parallel of latitude crosses the same ; thence west on said parallel to the eastern boundary o New. Mexico ; thence north on said bound ary to•latitude thirty-eight; thence following said boundary westward to the eastern boundary of the Territory of Utah, on the summit_ of the Rocky Mountains ; thence northward on said summit to the fortieth parallel of latitude ; thence east on said par allel to the western boundary of the State of Missouri ; thence south with the western boundary of said State to the place of begin ning. Provided, That nothing herein contained respecting the boundary of the State shall be construed to impair the rights of person or property now pertaining to the Indians in said Territory so long as such , rights shall remain unextinguished by treaty between the United States and such Indians, or to in clude any territory which, by treaty with Shell Indian tribes, is not, without the con sent of said tribe, to be included within the territorial limits or jurisdiction of any State or Territory ; bnt all such territory shall be excepted out of the boundaries, and consti tute no part in the State of Kansas, until said tribe shall signify their assent to the President of the United States to be included within said State, or to affect the authority of the Government of the United States to make any regulation respecting such Indi . ans, their lands, property, or otherwise, which it would have been competent to make if this act bad never been passed. SEC. 2. And be it farther enacted, That the State of Kansas is admitted into the Union upon the express condition that said State shall never interfere with the primary dis posal of the public-lands, or with any regu lations which Congress may find necessary for securing the title in said lands to the bona fide purchasers and grantees thereof, or impose or levy any tax, assessment, or im position of any description whatever upon them, or other property of the United States within the limits of said State ; and that no thing in this act shall be construed to abridge or infringe any right of the people asserted in the Constitution of Kansas, at all times to alter, reform, or abolish their form of Gov ernment in such manner as they may think proper, Congress hereby disclaiming any au thority to intervene or declare the construc tion of the Constitution of any State, except to see that it be republican in form, and not in conflict with the Constitution of the United States ; and nothing in this act shall be con strued as an assent by Congress to all or any of the propositions or claims contained in the ordinance annexed to said Constitution of the people of Kansas, nor to deprive the said. State of Kansas of the same grants which were contained in said act of Con gress, entitled " Au act to authorize the peo ple of the Territory of Minnesota to form a Constitution and State Government, prepara tory to admission into the Union on an equal footing with the original States," approved February 26, 1853. SEC. J. And be it fitrther enacted, That un til the next general census shall be taken, and an apportionment of the representation made, the State of Kansas shall be entitled to one Representative in the house of Repre sentatives of the United States. That the Federal laws, if not inapplicable, to be ex tended into the State of Kansas, a judicial district be formed, and a judge, attorney, and marshal be appointed and paid, as in lowa. - SEC. 4. _ebul be it further enacted, That from and after the admission of the State of Kansas, as hereinbefore provided, all the laws of the United States which are not lo cally inapplicable shall have the same force and effect within the State as in other States of .the Union ; and the said State is hereby Constituted a judicial district of the United States, within which a district court, with the like poWers and jurisdiction as the dis trict court of the United States.for the dis trict of lowa, shall he established; the judge, attorney, and marshal of the United States for the said district of Kansas shall reside within the same, and shall be entitled to the same compensation as the judge, attorney, and marshal of the district of lowa. The Religious Awakening—What will be its Effect ? There is no one topic outside of the polti cal world which is so frequently the subject of discussion as the religious awakening now agitating the land. On the one side, it is denounced as a temporary excitement, un healthy in its character, and certain to be productive of more evil than good. On the other, it is regarded as a natural reaction from the materialism of the last twenty years, a direct interposition of the Divine power, an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Without en tering into the theological aspect of the ques tion, we may say that the movement prom ises some excellent results. We arc led to this conclusion, both by the experience of past awakenings of a similar character, and by what we all know respecting the consti tution of the human mind. At periodical intervals, longer or shorter in duration, according to the character of the times, have these religious Imovements oc cured. Among the most powerful was that which was witnessed about a century ago.— It began in England in a prayer meeting, instituted by the Wesleys, at Oxford. Un der the preaching of John Wesley and Geo. Whitefield, it soon embraced both continents, and effected a revulsion in the religious con dition of society second only to that brought about, in the political world, a generation la ter by the American war of independent.-- 'All the churches, in every denomination, felt its influence more or less. It received the sanction on this side of the Atlantic, of Jon athon Edwards, the greatest metaphysician of his century. It numbered among its ad vocates abroad the men and women most em inent for consistent piety. The soundness of this endorsement was subsequently estab lished by the fruits of that great revival.— Within a single generation it totally changed the face of society in England. The Parson Trullibers of Fielding ceased to be a repre sentative of a class. The Squire Westerns of the same author, under the altered tone of morality and religion which it inaugurated, grew ashamed of their coarseness, their pro fanity, their cock-fighting, their intemper ance. If we would form a correct estimate of the influence of that great emotional move ment, we need but compare the . England and America of a century ago with the Eng land and America fifty years later, or even with the England and America of to-day,— Manners, laws, the code of morality, every -Laing affecting life and civilization, has been ameliorated. The churches were fast re formed, and the society followed in the wake. It has been the complaint, for many years, not only of the lay, that men were to entire ly engrossed with money-making, with the love of show, with things generally " of the earth, earthy." To eat, drink'and be merry, seemed practically the whole code of life.— Something which should put a stop to this, which should render men more spiritual, would be, it was every where admitted, a lasting benefit. It would seem now, as if that something was coming. If so, we, in common with all well-wishers of society, glad ly welcome it. We must expect, in such an agitation, many excesses, many absurdities, many backslidings. All great movements of the public mind, whether political or religi ous, have been accompanied by some things that are to be regretted. But though the im petuous torrent may disturb, for a time, the quiet and clearness of the stream, it brings down with it the pure grains of gold ; and these will-remain when the rush and n ois e and turbid waters have passed away.--Phil adelphia Ledger. Principles versus Expediency What are those opposed to forcing the peo ple of Kansas into the Union under the Le compton Constitution contending for ? "That Governments are instituted among men, de riving their just powers from the consent of the governed ;" that no form of Government should be forced upon the people of any Ter ritory or State without their consent, fairly expressed. What does Mr. Buchanan say on this subject?— " It is the imperative and indispensable duty of the Government of the United States to secure to every resident inhabitant the free and independent expression of his opinion by his vote. This sacred right of each indi vidual must be preserved ; and that being ac complished, nothing can be fairer than to leave the people of a Territory, free from all foreign interference, to decide their oum desti ny for themselves, subject only to the Consti tution of the United States."—litaitgural. "When a Constitution shall be submitted to the people of this Territory, they must be protected in the exercise of their right of voting for or against that instrument, and the fair expression of the popular will must not be interrupted by fraud or violence."— Instructions to Governor Walker. " I trust, however, the example set by the last Congress, requiring that the Constitu tion of Minnesota should be subject to the approval and ratification of the people of the proposed State,' may he followed on fu ture occasions. I took it for granted that the Convention of Kansas would aet in ac cordance with this example, founded, as it is, on correct principles, and hence my instruc tions to Governor Walker, in favor of sub mitting the Constitution to the people, were expressed in general, unqualified terms."— Annual Message. Mr. Buchanan here endorses, to the fullest extent, the principles advocated by those op posed to the Lecompton Constitution, and yet for expediency he recommends its adoption, with the understanding that no other one is hereafter to be accepted without the consent of the people, expressed through the ballot box. When was it before that a great principle was sacrificed to expediency ? Is this Jack sonism, is it Democracy? The bad effects of this abandonment of principle for expediency are already felt in the dismemberment of the Democratic party, and the sooner it is abandoned the better.—The Press. The Utah Expedition—lnteresting Let- ter from. Col. Johnston [From the St. Louis Republican of March 23d.] We have perused a letter from Col.•John sten to a friend in this city, dated at Camp Scott, February 5, 1858, and have been per mitted to make extracts therefrom. The Colonel had me - IT:wed no communica tion from the Governinent of a later date than the 22e1 of October, 1857, and justly complains that the mail contractors take more than three months to carry the mail to Utah, when their contract requires them to deliver it there monthly ; and he adds : "I send nothing by mail, nor should anything of a public nature be sent otherwise than by express." Notwithstanding the destruction of a part of the train which was loaded with provi sions and other supplies necessary for his troops, and in spite of the obstacles which still presented themselves, Col. Johnston did not abandon the hope of marching to Salt Lake City without a halt, until after the ter rific storm of the Gth of November. We quote from his letter : "On the Gth Novem ber the march was resumed, and then com menced the storm of snow, and wintry cold, racking the bones of our men, and starving our oxen, and mules and horses, already half starved. They died on the road, and at our camps, by hundreds, and so diminished were their numbers that from camp to camp, only four or five miles, as many days. were re quired to bring them all up, as it was neces sary to give time to rest the animals, now in capable of protracted efforts, and to hunt for food. In this way, - fifteen days were con sumed in making thirty-five miles to this place, the nearest and best place for shelter and fuel for the troops, and for shelter and grass for the animals. The struggle then, amidst snow and arctic cold, (the thermome ter at sixteen below zero,) was for a place cf safety. If any doubt existed before this storm of the propriety of risking the troops on the mountains before Spring, or of the ability to accomplish the march, the destruc tion amongst our draught animals, the neces ity of saving all the oxen left for food, even if capable of further exertion, now dis pelled that doubt and solved the question. The storm which Col. Cook encountered on the Sweet Water, and on through the South Pass, destroyed more than half of his horses, and a large number of his mules, although they had corn for them. In that high region, much higher than where we were, the cold must have been much more , intense than ex perienced by us, and his animals I presume, perished mainly from cold. "I have the satisfaction to say that the pri vations of the march were endured by officers and men without complaint, or perhaps, I might more justly say, with cheerfulness.— Th troops are in fine health and condition. The winter thus far has not been so vigorous as to prevent often the daily instruction of the troops. They have proved themselves to be hardy enough for any service, a few only —as many as thirty or less—have been frost bitten ; but now our scouts bivouac, when ne cessary, in the passes without suffering. "The Mormons have declared, as fully as words and actions can' manifest intentions, that they will no longer submit to the Gov ernment, or to any Government but their own. The people of the Union must now submit to a usurpation of their Territory— to have ,a government erected in their midst; not loyal to, or rather not acknowledging any dependence upon, or allegiance to, the Federal Government—and what is not less impolite, and entirely incompatible with our institutions, to allow them to engraft their social organization upon ours, and make it a part of our system, or act with the vigor and force to compel them to submit. This is due to the dignity and honor of the Government. "I hope every effort will be made to for ward the spring supplies early, under a suf ficient guard of mounted men, for the guard will be needed, also, to forward the supplies for the rest of the year."
