Interesting from Utah
Mormon memorial to the President—General
Harney's talk. with the Indians.
*The Salt Lake City correspondent of the
St. Louis Republican writes :
The following petition was forwarded to
President Buchanan,• by the inhabitants of
Utah, last week, for the removal of certain
officers who seem to be obnoxious to them.=
The petition ought to be granted:
To his Excellency, fames Buchanan, President
of the United States :
Whereas, For reasons herewith assigned,
the following - United States officers for the
Territory of Utah, to wit : Chief Justice
Eckle, Postmaster Morrell, and Indian Agents
Hurt and Craig, have rendered themselves
übiloxious to the citizens of the United States
and residents in the Territory of Utah, re-
Apectfully ask your Excellency to remove the
aforesaid officers.
The reasons presented by .your petitioners
are as follows : Chief Justice Eckles, while
yet en route to this Territory, expressed him
self in most vindictive and prejudiced terms
against the people of the Territory. - Contra
ry- to the law, and the established principles
of constitutional justice, he summoned a
Grand Jury of the attaches and followers of
the army, and before them did himself cause
testimony to be presented, end indictments
found (for most serious offences) against nu
merous citizens of ,the United States, resi
dents of the Territory. He has himself act
ed as Judge, prosecutor, and clerk of his
own court, and has ever, during his residence
in the Territory, used-not only his personal
but judicial influence to provoke a collision
and disturbances between the people of the
Territory and the Federal Government.—
Though often invited, and assurances of safe
ty and protection given, he has refused to
come into our settlements or seperate himself
from the army up to this time.
Mr. _Morrell has, by published statements,
slandered the people of the Territory. He is
not, nor ever was, a resident of Great Salt
Lake City, and hence, according to the laws
of the United States, is not competent to fill
the appointment.
Agent Hurt, within the knowledge of your
Excellency, according to official reports re
cently forwarded by Governor Cumming, has
made and published false reports of the most
serious character, charging the people of this
Territory with burning the public library
and the United States Court records, threat
ening Federal officers with assassination, re
bellion against the Constitution and laws of
the United States, tampering with the Indian
tribes to the overthrow of the Government,
together with other grave accusations, all
equally false and unfounded.
Agent Craig is a mail of gross immoral
practices, and in every way incompetent to
discharge the duties of his office.
GREAT SALT LAKE CITY, Utah Territory,
Friday, June 25th, 1858.—The St. Louis
Democrat of Saturday has the following ac
count of Gen. Harney's "talk" with the In
dians
General Harney, accompanied by his aid
decainp', Captain Pleasanton, and by Dr.
Wright, arrived in St. Louis yesterday after
noon, on the steamer Ben Lewis. Major
Buell, Assistant Adjutant-General, took the
cars at Jefferson City, but hardly got in be
fore the General.
Our special correspondent, Mr. Foy, who
accompanied headquarters for the purpose of
furnishing the readers of the Democrat with
authentic accounts of the anticipated "Mor
mon war," also came down on the Ben Lew
is.
Father De &net, chaplain to the Utah forces,
returned to Leavenworth, whence he has set
cut for a short visit to the Pott6wattomie
mission. He will reach St. Louis in the
course of the ensuing week.
On the 18th ult. General Harney had a
"talk" with the Cheyennes at Cotton Wood
Spring. About noon on that day a delega
tion of twenty of them arrived in the camp.
The general had sent Captain Pleasanton on
a kind of embassy to them ten days previ
ously. The captain was accompanied by a
guide, and by the Good Bear, a Cheyenne
chief, who had presented himself to the Gen
eral, at the village of the Ogalallas, with
overtures of peace. When Good Bear had
left his people to go on the mission to the
General, they were encamped on the Repub
lican Fork—a tributary of the Kansas. Be
fore the arrival of Captain Pleasonton among
them they had gone elsewhere. The General
had agreed to wait only ten days, so Captain
Pleasonton, under the direction of the guide,
altered his course for Cotton Wood Spring—
the appointed place of rendezvous, while
Good Bear followed the trail of his tribe.—
On the tenth day the captain and the guide
got into the camp, as well as the Cheyennes,
but at a later hour.
Ten days was the term which General Har
ney had agreed to wait for the Cheyennes,
and on the tenth day they made their appear
ance, having travelled desperately to keep
the appointment. They have the reputation
of being the bravest tribe this side of the
mountains, and the appearance and bearing
of the delegation did not belie the reputation.
The "talk" was conducted in the same style,
and with the same etiquette, as the talk with
Ogalanes. They came up, one by one, in a
manly manner,' each shaking hands with the
General, who sat in the shade of a tree, and
those whites who were with him. They
seated themselves in a circle, and proceeded
to light their pipes. The orator of the occa
sion was as faithful to the rules of his art as
if be had studied in the school. He com
menced by saying that the fame of General
Harney as a great chief was known to them,
and that they were all exceedingly glad to see
him. The substance of the discourse was
that they were desirous of being at peace
with the whites, that the success of the mis
sion of Great Bear brought happiness and
peace of mind to the whole tribe ; that they
were also desirous of being at peace with the
other Indian tribes, but that the Pawnees
were always robbing them.
General Harney's counsel to them was ju
dicious and humane. He reminded them of
their outrages upon the whites, but told them
that if henceforth they acted right, he would
ask the great Father at Washington to for
give them. He bad not come to make a
treaty with them, as his business was to
chastise white children of the Great Father
who had been acting badly, but that these
white children, knowing the power that was
arrayed against them, had submitted. The
General's aim was to impress them with the
idea that if they transgressed, they could not
Escape punishment, and that they would re
t:eive justice if whites committed any out
rages upon them. He promised to be their
friend if their conduct continued good, but
that otherwise they would find him a"dev
il."
In the progress of the talk it was learned
that a war party had gone out against the
Pawnees before the return of Good Bear, and
this the' warriors present regretted, as the
counsel of their grandfather (so they call
General Harney) inclined them to peace,
with Indians as well as whites.
The talk was protracted for a considerable
time, or rather there - were two:talks—one on
their arrival and the other in the evening,
the later the most important. They were
treated hospitably, and in addition to bread
and meat, got weak grog to drink and tobac
co to smoke, but the condition of the com
missariat and the circumstances of the meet
ing did not warrant the giving them of any
presents. From what transpired, it is cer
tain that they will not molest the whites this
year, at least, and that they have a salutary
dread of General Harney. It was noticed
that the old chiefs laid the blame of past mat
ters upon the "young men," just as Brigham
Young and the apologists of Kansas rascal
ities lay the blame of all misdeeds upon the
"boys."
General Harney bad a talk with the Paw
nees also. He lectured them severely about
their thieving, but they defended themselves
by accusing the Cheyennes and Sioux of va
rious murders and robberies. He also ad
vised them not to retaliate upon the Cheyen
nes, as the latter were disposed to make
peace. Their knitted brows and unbroken
silence gave evidence that. they did not much
relish this advice, but yet in reply they prom
ised to remain quiet,_ although the perfidy
and blood-thirstiness of the Cheyennes was
the topic upon which they most elaborately
dwelt. One of them, who had been at Wash
ington, and who displayed the medals which
he had received there, urged, with great skill,
the atrocious nature of the insults *given to
the whites by the Cheyennes, in spilling
blood under the walls of the fort. Indeed,
General Harney himself thought the Cheyen
nes should have been prevented from attack
ing the Pawnees or any other nation within
sight of the flag staff, and Col. May, who is
now in command at Fort Kearney, promised
that if the Cheyennes should venture again
to make war near the fort, he would chastise
them. The talk with the Pawnees was the
most formal and impressive of the three, and
all the chiefs, without exceptions, gave man
ifestations of the weight which the General's
counsel had with them, and of the fear with
which they regard him.
BOLD AND CORRECT.-. 111 the course of a
long and eloquent editorial, which appeared
in the Richmond (Va.) Encpirer, of July 30,
in reply to a letter in the South, we find a
passage which is no less distinguished for
the correct positions assumed in it, than for
the bold manner in which they are express
ed: "We are not disposed to anticipate the
action of the people of Kansas on this sub
ject. But every thinking man at once recog
nizes the fact that the provision excluding
Kansas until she shall have attained 93,000
or 120,000 inhabitants, furnishes no legal
barrier to the immediate admission of Kan
sas. Without infringing a single item of the
Constitution, the next Congress may admit
the State without any reference whatever to
the English Compromise. And whatever ac
tion Congress may take on the subject should
be taken with a view to the best interests of
the people of the Territory,. and entirely
without reference to the sectional preferences
or prejudices of the different members of
Congress. The man who ,shall oppose the
admission of Kansas merely on the ground
that she comes forward with a free-State
Constitution, will act in disloyalty to the
spirit of the Constitution. The Democrat
who shall follow a similar narrow and vicious
policy, must disregard the faith solemnly
pledged by the party to which he belongs.—
And the Southern man who acts in accord
ance with such dictates of bad faith, will
offer to the adversaries of Southern rights
the best possible pretext and precedent for
disastrous retaliation."
THE BETRAYER AND AVENGER.—We find
the following item in a late number of the
Review, published at Cleveland :—One day
last week, there passed down on the steamer
Michigan a man having in irons another who
had some three years since seduced his sister.
The seducer was under promise to marry, and
the wedding day fixed, but the seducer ran
away the day before. The brother of the in
jured woman started in pursuit, and caught
him at Erie, but by some means the rascal
escaped. The brother still kept on his track
and found him again, but again he lost him.
Month after month passed on, and the reso
lute brother wandered about in pursuit, but
could get no trace of the object of his search.
A little while ago, however, he saw a paper
published at Ripon, Wisconsin, in which the
name of the seducer appeared as editor.—
Thither he went, armed with a requisition
from the Governor of Pennsylvania, and ar
rested him—and now, after a pursuit of three
years, has the violator of his sister's honor
firmly in his grasp. The parties live in Penn
sylvania, but what their names are we failed
to learn.
The Pittsburg Dispatch, contains the
following in relation to the Western Division
of the Penn'a Canal:—
The Western Division of the Pennsylvania
Canal is undergoing extensive repairs. .Be
tween this city and Tarentum, some ten new
bridges have been built in lieu of the former
dilapidated old structures, and various other
improvements are taking place. The same,
repairs are said to be making throughout the
entire division, and the value of the canal to
those living along the line of the improve
ment will be materially enhanced. The en
tire division has latterly fallen into partial
disuse, and consequently has been too much
neglected. The farmers, however, are waking
up to the necessity of keeping the .canal in
working order, and a meeting of those inter
ested will be held in Freeport, about the
latter part of this month, to make arrange
ments for securing this object. It is proba
ble that an arrangement will be made to
lease the division.
RAPID GrtovrTn OF A WESTERN CITY.—Not
four years ago, according to the Leavenworth
Times, the first house was built in that place.
Yet at this time they have nearly 1,300
houses within their bounds and a largo num
ber in process of building or yet to be erect
ed ere the season closes. It is a little over
three years since the population of the city
was estimated at 100! Now it is at least
8,000! It has 9 hotels, 32 grocery stores,
21 banking houses, 22 dry goods do., 23 clo
thing and tailoring establishments, besides
other stores for every variety of goods to the
number of about 125, 4 daily and 4 weekly
papers, 23 real estate offices, 70 lawyers, 38
doctors, &0., 84-c.
Shall There be Peace ?
The extraordinary vote by which the peo
ple of Kansas have again declared their hos
tility to the Lecompton Constitution, and the
fact, now beyond all question, that they voted
down the English bill with the stern deter
mination of asking that their own Constitu
tion should be submitted to Congress at- an
early day, presents a most practical question
to the people outside of Kansas, who will
shortly be called npon to decide for or against
certain Representatives who voted for this
English bill, and who also ask to be re-elected
to Congress.
It is more than probable that at the very
next session of Congress, early in 1859, Kim
sas will demand admission into the Union
with a Constitution duly formed by her dela- 7
gates and duly accepted by her people. This
demand will be based upon the most power
ful considerations. The Constitution of the
new State will be a Constitution framed an.;
cordingly to the three popular decisions of
the Territory in favor of such a constitution.
It will represent as great, if not greater, pop
ulation than theinstrument under which
Congress sought to force her into the Union.
And, finally, it will be the only Constitution
that has been at the same time legally framed
and sanctioned - by the popular vote. The
question recurs, shall Kansas, thus asking to
conic into the Union, be admitted ? or shall
she be refused admission, and kept out of the
Union, to be made the foot-ball of fiction,
and to stir the bitter waters of fanaticism to
their deepest depths ? This is the question
now - being asked by intelligent citizens in
every part of the country.
The Washington Union says no ; but the
President has yet to give his sanction to this,
the latest despotism of his reputed organ.—
Will the President decide against the people of
Kansas in their formal, authoritative, and sol
emn appeal for admission into the Union, on
the fundamental pledge, the covenent of 1856,
that they should be "perfectly free to manage
their own affairs in their own way ?" We be
lieve there is not a Democrat asking to be re
elected to Congress from the free States who
is not anxious to say to the people of his
district; "I yield to the vote of the people of
Kansas against the English bill, and will
vote for the admission of Kansas as a State
as soon as this same people demand it." We
know that this is the wish, the earnest wish,
of most of the Democratic Congressional can
didates in this State. Some of the Lecomp
tonites are even ready to pledge themselves
to do so anyhow, in advance of the enuncia
tion of the policy of the Administration on
this important point; but the high sanction
of the President is necessary to induce the
voters to repose confidence in such profes
sions. Will the President and his Adminis
tration give this sanction ? Will they accept
this Olive Branch ? This is the only way to
close the controversy forever, Those who
are anxious that it should not he kept open
must all approve this suggestion. And we
here declare that we should regard the ac
knowledgment of the right of the people of
Kansas to come to Congress with a constitu
tion of their own, that Constitution to be ac
cepted by Congress whenever presented (if
not inconsistent with the Constitution of the
United States,) as an end to all division and
dissensions, and as certain to restore harmony
to the country. We shall hail the acceptance
of this policy by the administration as a prac
tical finality; In that event, there is not a
Congressional district in the North that will
not ring with congratulations that the long '
struggle is over. There is not one of the
hundreds of counties in which our political
friends have been divided, that will not wel
come it as a messenger with healing on its
wings. It will give peace to our distracted
brethern in Illinois. It will save those who
have risked reputation by their votes for Le
compton, by enabling them to pledge them
selves honestly to their constituents. It will
secure the Democratic party in the next Con
gress, and in the next Presidential election.—
It will be regarded With satisfaction by thou
sands of our honest opponents. No southern
man will object IA ho is animated by patriotic
motives. Kansas is to be a free State neces
sarily. There is no preventing that. She
has repeatedly shown her determination to
this end ; and surely no southern man who
has any regard for his own honor, or for the
permanent welfare of his own section, will
persist in keeping a State out of the Union
because that State is to be free, or will insist
upon having one rule for a slave and another
for a free State. Of all objections to the ad
mission of Kansas, this is the last and the
worst. The argument in favor of bringing
her into the Union at an early day is so con
vincing and conclusive, that we are amazed
that any living man should object to it, espe
cially after the vote of the 2d of August.—
We are not, therefore, astonished that the
New York Herald, and other independent
papers should feel the weight of this argu
ment, and should call upon the Administra
tion to yield to it. The herald conveys a vol
ume of good advice in the following short
paragraph :
" THE FIRST RESPONSE.—The Richmond
Enquirer concurs in our views concerning the
policy of the Administration and of the De
mocracy towards Kansas since the rejection
of the Lecompton Constitution. Who comes
next ?—the Richmond South, or the Albany
Argus, or the Boston Post? Gentlemen, let
us hear from you. The thing will have to be
done; for it is perfect folly to suppose, after
what has happened, that Kansas will remain
out of the Uiiion ?vial she can muster ninety
or one hundred thousand people."
And such is the expectation of the people.
How easy for the Administration to answer
to this expectation I
Should this reasonable anticipation be dis
appointed, the position which the advocates
of the English bill will occupy in the coming
elections will be precisely the position set
forth in the following extract from the Mobile
(Ala.) Register of the 4th of August:
"It will be remembered that by the terms
of the Conference Act, it is provided, that in
case the people of Kansas accept the proposi
tion submitted to them by the Act, and thus
incidentally ratify the Lecompton Constitu
tion, Kansas is by the fact admitted as a
State with her present population ; but in
the event of their rejection of the proposition,
Kansas is to remain a Territory until she has
the requisite population to entitle her to a
Representative in Congress. This constitu
ted the compromise. If Kansas was not to
come in under the Lecompton Constitution
as a slave State, the South was to be compen
sated by keeping her out as a five State for an
indefinite number of years."
This is the plain English of the English
bill, unless it is abandoned at once, and for- -
ever. Where this reading of it will lead the
Democracy it requires no prophet to tell us.-
In the effort to keep out a free State' because
it is free, the Union will he sectionalized and
the Democratic party beaten. Take the other
course, accept the Olive Branch tendered by
tho conservative sentiment of the country,
and victory will brighten the banners of the
united Democracy in 1860.—T he Press.
THE HOT SEASON IN INDIA.—The Calcutta
correspondent of the British Standard writes
as follows:—"I can assure you the heat is
worse than the oldest inhabitant can remem
ber. lam only writing and yet my hands
glisten, and feel as if dipped in soap-suds,
and my face is a regular spring of water.—
One dare not go out in the sun, unless he
particularly wishes for discomfort or sickness,
or probably a sun-stroke. You in England
have no idea of the state of everlasting mois
ture in which we are kept. Punkhas and
khus barley keep us alive. Guess, then,
what it must be in the field, and do not won
der at thirty men dying of sun-stroke for
three killed, or that sixty-three men in one
regiment had been admitted to the hospital
In one day, all suffering from the sun. I
cannot at present write more; great beads of
perspiration are falling on the paper, and
erasing my work far more quickly than I ac
complish it, and, therefore, I will bid you
adieu."
GEN. LEWIS Cass.—The Washington cor
respondent of the Press writes: "Gen. Cass,
who must be nearly eighty, is feeble, but is
hard at work. This extraordinary man's ca
reer is alike a study and an example. He
has lived a blameless life, and has grown to
distinction almost entirely by his own efforts.
He is now one of the richest men in the
Union. He invested heavily in the town of
Detroit, Michigan, of which he was a pioneer,
and the growth of the West, especially since
the railroad system has extended its power
ful influence, has vastly appreciated his pro
perty. He is said to be worth four or five
millions. And yet, with all his wealth, he
lives a frugal and abstemious life. The man
agement of his vast estate is confided to his
enterprising son-in-law, Mr. Ledyard, who
resides in Detroit."
•A Nov Et. BUSINESS.—Straws have always
shown which way the wind blows, but they
now have a new office, and point out unmis
takably the way a vast quantity of liquor
flows. Witness the following from a Western
paper: "Nearly all, if not all, the drinking
saloons in St. Louis, it is said, arc furnished
with straws for sucking juleps, by one man,
who sells them for one and a•half or two dol
lars a thousand ; from two acres of land on
which he grows rye, annually, he sells about
twenty-four hundred dollars worth of straws.
They are packed also in barrels containing
about twelve thousand straws, and shipped
to New Orleans, St. Paul, and the interme
diate places, and the demand is increasing."
On Saturday morning last two young
men, named Augustus and Samuel
Mr. Mc - Vick - or, of Thomaston, Me., and Miss
Mary Flinton, of George's Island, embarked
at the latter place in a sail boat for Thomas
ton, and wheri the boat was about a mile
from the island, it was upset by a sudden
squall, .and sunk with all on board. The
secne was witnessed by the father of the
young lady, who was unable to render any
assistance. Miss Flinton was to have been
united marriage with Mr. Augustus Gil
christ on Ahe following day, Sunday, and he
had come to escort her to Thomaston for that
purpose.
The Washington (Pa.) Examiner states
that during the latter part of week before
last, Mr. William Montgomery, formerly a
resident of — that place, and father of Hon.
William Montgomery, was found dead beside
a haystack in West Finley township, near
the Virginia line. It is not known how long
he had been dead before his body was dis
covered. His remains were interred in a
graveyard in the vicinity. The age of the
deceased was about seventy years.
MortmoNts3l.—Said Heber Kimball, who is
next in power to Brigham - Young: " I love
my friends, and I don't like my enemies ; but
I follow the Scriptural rule and pray fur
them." This was said in the presence of Dr.
Forney, the Superintendent of Indian Affairs,
who complimented - Heber upon his Christian
spirit, when Lieber added—" Yes, I pray that
they may all go to hell!"

the Scientific American has now reached its Fourteenth
Year, and will enter upon a New Volume on the 11th of
September. It is the only weekly publication of the kind
now issued in this country, and it has a very extensive

some might suppose from its title, a dry, abstruse work on
technical science; on the contrary, it so deals with the
great events going on in the scientific, mechanical and in
dustrial worlds, as to please and instruct every one. If the
Mechanic or Artizan wishes to know the best machine in
use, or how to make any substance employed in his busi
ness—if tho Housewife wishes to get a recipe for 'making
a good color, &c.--if the Inventor wishes to know what is
going ou in the way of improvements—if the Manufactu

the best Mollifies in his business—if the Man of Leisure
and Study wishes to keep himself familiar with the pro
