The position assumed by Brigham Young, leader of the "Saints" of Utah, has at length ' arisen to the dignity of rebellion, and for 'the first :time in our history a province has offered resistance to the Federal Government. All parties agree in calling fur signal pun ishment of this fanatical, therefore danger. one, people. We hear no voice raised in their favor; there is no present political capital in them, and they are consequently !damned. Opinion is divided, however, as ; regards the coming "Mormon war." Will Brigharu's right hand forget its cunning and draw sword against the United States ari -1 thority, or will he acutely retreat before the corning chastisement, and once more lead 1 his people into the wilderness, seeking a safer and snore inaccessible refuge than the "State of Deseret" has proven? The saints now sound a very warlike trumpet, and threaten Cl. Johnson and his handful cf , ' troops with very summary annihilation, should they attempt a further advance into the Principality of Utah: but with z... 11 this, Spring may show salt Lake city a desert, and the Mormons in full retreat. We have the be,t of reasons for predicting such a back down on the part of the rel.:As, as ful iuws, to wit: On Tue,day evening of last week a meet ing was held at the Town Hall, in answer to a call posted the precious day, for the purpose of organizing a volunteer company, the proceedings of which were published in last Saturday's Spy. We attended this meeting, not with any intention of convert ing our peaceful into warlike weapons, but from a natural desire to look upon an as. semblage of brave men who were willing to sustain the patriotic reputation of the town by dunning the regulation conical cap and bob-tail coat of the S. Army. We confess to having entered the room with the modest belief that this suddenly awakened military enthusiasm of our eiticens would be confined within the reasonable limits of the manual, a periodical parade, and possibly an annual encampment with accompanying ground and lofty field evolutions; but who shall set a limit to the military ardor of the great American people? Who will say that the spirit of '7O is extinct? We found the Utah plank incorporated into their platform, and ,in et ery countenance a stern determination to head Brigham or die. The services of the company are to be offered to government for the anticipated Utah expedition of next Spring, and we therefore say, "Flee, '3lor ; mons,' dead is 'Brigham!' "—or might as well be. In evidence of the earnestne , s of our peo ple in this matter, a second matting was held on Saturday and another on Tuesday evening last, up to which time over sixty names had been inscribed on the roll of the company, which was organized by the elec tion of Horace Haldeman, Esq., as Captain, and G. H. Bardwell and J. C. Moyer, Esqrs., First and Second Lieutenants. On the lat ter occasion we, with a few favored citizens, enjoyed the privilege of a view of the first undress parade. They came upon us from the meeting, headed by martial music, (N. Binehour,) and we respectfully gave them the whole sidewalk. They passed us and our peaceful, Quaker heart swelled with emotions too sacred for any but pages of a full blooded American paper. Our exulta tion was not unmixed with solemn thoughts of the .possible melancholy fate of many of these noble hearts. The music suddenly assumed a muffled sound in consonance with our black crape feelings, and we were moved to bestow On our braves the editorial bene diction, when from the bowels of ti•. Brandt's Restaurant, right beneath our feet, thun dered the drum and brayed the brazen double bass—the company was forming for "lager all 'round." We went sadly home moralizing upon the association of patriotism and Beirish. Seriously, however, we are not sorry to see the eill,rt to organize a volunteer com pany in Columbia, and hope it may be sue- icessful. We formerly turned out quite a respectable corps of citizen soldiery, and we think that the stuff is not wanting of which to manufacture something creditable to the town; but we would respectfully say to the boys, "Don't lug in Utah! You know that is a little piece of humbug that nolndy will believe in. At this early stage of the game it is simply ridiculous." ply the way! we have not yet beard the title of the nets—ritle corps, wo believe it is to he. SJ far, it is known as the "Utah Expedition."

Brooks in his interesting history of Medford, gives the particulars of a novel marriage ceremony performed in that town in 1780, by Thos. Brooks, Esq., who acquired great popularity as one of the "Marrying Justi ces" of the period. Ono day, while riding on horseback to Woburn, Ile discovered six young persons—three male and three fe male—riding on horseback towards him.— Ile guessed their errand; and they guessed that the cocked hat, bush wig and silver buckles approaching them must belong to "the squire." Both parties stopped. The bridegroom announced his wishes, and the squire replied thus: "My young friends, we are here in the midst of this, lofty forest, upon an unfrequented road, with God's ' clear sky over us, and his green earth under us. We shall not be disturbed; I propose to solemnize your marriage here: what say you?" They gladly consented.— Ile told them 11.4, to dismount, but to ar range themselves in due order the gentle ! men on one side and the ladies on the other. I This being done, he placed his horse so as to be directly in front of the bride and bride ; groom. Then taking off his hat he began hi.: prayer; and report says that he was "gifted in prayer," and that, on this oc casion, "he prayed like an angel," The in troductory service concluded, the plight of vows made, the union declared, and the benediction pronounced; and then the whole party journeyed back together, rejoicing in the poetry appended to the great event.— Bodon Tianscript.

It is the tremendous brain power, lodged in that perpendicular preci pice of a forehead, and shooting out its tires from its shadowed eyes, that has given him the soubriquet which he will carry to his grave. When excited and in full flow of debate, that massive head rolls and shakes with the emphasis of his thought, and the huge hand doubles until the nails indent the palm, or else the broad, open hand receites the blow of its mate, and italicises the sen tence with a stunning report. The sweat pours from him profusely, and falls from his head or is thrown clear of his shoulders by those inimical shakes of the head, as the rain drops are 'shaken from the trees by a storm. Add to this a thick bushy head of black Lair and a restless, uneasy feeling, which prevents his being at rest for five consecuthe minutes, and keeps him moving from one point to another in the Senate Chamber, and my picture of the "Little Giant" is complete.

The Legislature of South Carolina has re fused to legalize the suspension of specie payments by the banks of that State. The Georgia Legislature has as yet done nothing on the subject. At the latest accounts from the capital of Kansas, the territorial legislature had done nothing towards carrying out the recom mendations of Gov. Stanton. They had de clared the Kickapoo returns fraudulent, and ousted the members from Leavenworth county in consequence, giving their seats to the legally elected Republican members.— The Democratic pro-slavery convention, un der the Lecompton regime, had nominated Gen.

General Denver, the new acting Governor, had not arrived , in Kansas. In the border counties of Mis souri preparations are being made fur anoth er invasion of Kansas, to control the consti tutional election. A large and enthusiastic Democratic meeting has been held at Chicago, at which resolutions were adopted sustaining and en dorsing the course of Senator Douglas on the Kansas question. President Buchanan has sent in to the Senate a list of naval nominations resulting from the action of the various boards of in quiry. Many of the dropped and retired officers arc restored to active service. The President and Postmaster General have arranged with the authorities of New York city, for the location of the post-office on a portion of the Park.

By the terms of the agreement Park place is to he extended through the Park in a straight line; and all the Park south of this extension is conveyed to the Government for the post-office." FROM W.CSIIINCTON; In Congress on Thursday, the Housa of Representatives (lid no business, the death of William Montgomery, member from the Fifteenth District of Pennsylvania, being announced. A eulogy on the deceased was delivered by Mr. Florence, and after passing the usual resolutions of respect the House adjourned. In the Senate Mr. Hunter read a commu nication from the Secretary of the Treasury, asking that authority be granted to that de partment to issue twenty millions of treasury notes. Mr. Hunter offered a bill for that purpose, similar to the bill passed in the year 1847, except that it contained no pro lision fur funding the debt. He asked its immediate consideration, but objection be ing made, he gave notice that be would call it up to-day. Mr. Harris, editor of the Union, was then elected printer to the Senate, subject to a provision that the Senate reserved the right to modify the printing arrangements in any way it may see proper. Mr. Douglas declined voting. After an executive session, the Senate ad journed. In the executive session of the Senate the nominations of M. B. Lamar, as minister to Central America, and Austin R. Smith, as Naval agent in California, were confirmed. The nomination of Nathan Clifford, of Maine, to time vacant beat on the bench of the Su preme Court, was warmly debated, nod re ferred to the Committee on the Judiciary. In the Senate on Friday, Mr. Douglas introduced a bill to enable the people of ; Kansas to form a constitution and State government preparatory to admission into the Union. The resolutions submitted on the previous day by Messrs. Pugh and Trumbull, calling on the President for further information concerning Kansas affairs, were adopted. In the House a resolution was adopted directing the Committee on Accounts to ex amine the stationary provided fur the use of the members, and report its real value, and to make such recommendations as they may deem proper. The accounts of the late clerk were referred to a select com mittee of fit e, with power to send for persons and papers, and report at any time. Mr. Jones, from the Committee of Ways and Means, reported a bill authorizing an issue of Treasury notes, and also the Indian, and Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation bills. In Congress, on Saturday, the Senate passed the bill authorizing the issue of twenty millions of dollars in Treasury notes, by a vote of 31 to 18. Its operation is lim ited to one year, and notes of a less denomi nation than one hundred dollars are pro hibited. Mr. Crittenden introduced a two. lution requiring an it crease in the tariff of duties on imports. It is said that some of the members of the Cabinet do not agree with the President in his determination to stop Walker in his course, and that one of them has written a letter to a friend, in the South, in which he intinaraes that he may be under the neces sity of coming out with a letter defining his position on this question, or perhaps even of resigning his seat in the Cabinet. The friends of B - '`alker say that two members of the Cabinet and twenty-two of the south lern Senators are opposed to any interfer once against him. I In the Senate on Monday, Mr. Wright introduced a bill to continue the improve ments of the harbor of Newark, N. J., which was referred to the Committee on 1 1 Commerce. A joint resolution offered by Mr. Biggs, of North Carolina, providing that the adjournment of the two Houses of Congress, on Wednesday next, shall be un til January 4th, was adopted by ayes 34, noes 12. Mr. Wilson, of Mass-, introduced a bill granting on, million acres of land for the benefit of the free public schools in the District of Columbia. The debate on the Kansas question was then resumed by Mr. Bigler, who, at considerable length, defen ded the Kansas portion of the President's Message, and assailed Senator Douglas.-- The latter replied with keen effect, and put our Pennsylvania Senator to some trouLle about his sources of information in respect to the Kansas policy of the Administration. In the House of Representatives, the Tmtrury Note bill was debated by Messrs. Abbott, Letcher, Banks, Lovejoy, Camp bell of Ohio, and others, after which the Senate bill fur the same purpose was re ferred to the Committee of Ways and Means. A resolution was adopted limiting debates on the subject to two hours to-day. Leave 'was refused to Mr. Warren, of Arkansas, to introduce a resolution instructing the Com mittee on Territories to consider and report on the facts about the Utah rebellion, and the propriety of excluding the Utah delegate from a seat in the House.

The speech of Count de Morny to the French Legislature in his capacity of Presi dent of that body, found little favor in the eyes of the English journalists. From Inaia we are informed of the execu tion by the British of four of the sons and one grandson of the king of Delhi. Lieut. Saekeld, of the Bengal Engineers, who gal lantly blew up the Cashmere gate on the day that Delhi was stormed by the British, died of his wounds on the 10th of October. Forty-two Scotch fishermen bad been drowned off the Banffshire coast during a storm, and eighteen French soldiers were killed by the sudden fall of a portion of the tower of Vincennes fort. The money crisis in Hamburg was exceed ingly severe, and a host of failures, with many suicides, took place in consequence. Mil 3 We have again later news from Euro?e and Asia, by the arrival at New York. of the steamship Adriatic. Gen. Havelock was still hemmed in at Lucknow, and Gen. Campbell was marching to his relief. There had been severe fight ing at Lucknow, and Gen. Outram is report ed as wounded. More troop-ships bad ar rived out. The Bank of France had again reduced its rate of discount. Additional failures had been reported, but not in the American trade. In the British House of Commons the Bank of England Indemnity bill had been ordered to a third reading. Both houses of Parliament have, in accordance with the recommendation of the Queen, voted a pen sion of £lOOO per annum to (len. Havelock, as a reward fur his services in India. The Mediterranean electric telegraph had been completed between Malta and Corfu. The relations between Spain and Mexico seem to be assuming a more farorable as• BE Tire Attenic.tx 'Vs ouex.—Bayard Taylor says that if the Saxon race ever should de teriorate on this side of the Atlantic, it will all be owing to the tvomen. "I protest I lose all patience," he says, "when I think , of the habits of our American women, es peeialy our country girls. It may be set down as a fact beyond dispute that the softer sex has become very soft in this coun try since the colonial times. There are ex ceptions, perhaps many; but the rule is that the physique of the sex has here abominably fallen away. American women never could hare colonized America, not even if they had had such husbands as fell to the lot of the daughters of men in the years that were immediately before the flood. It required English women to do that,—stout, buxom, beef-eating, ale-drinking, broad-chested, big-footed, hard-fisted, women, who had ' been brought up under the rule of Queen Bess, or were the daughters of mothers who hod been thus brought up; and that most imperious of sovereigns, who could box a stout man's ears Fa as to make him reel, if not quite fall down before her in anything but a fit of adoration, W:1.3 able to stow away, and healthy to digest, as much solid , food and malt liquor as a prudent farmer would now think of allowing to two of his men. Her female Ful jests were mostly after her own sort, as they were bound both by sense and loyalty to be. Such were the women who founded the American nation; 1 and they and their daughters and grand ; daughters were fitted for their work. They could live in forests and work in fields.— Nor the heat of summer, nor the storms of winter could break them down. They could shoot Indians, or wolves, or deer. They could tomahawk a dozen of the aborigines, whose lands their husbands or fathers had bought with powder and rum. It is hardly possible to believe that from such stalwart, Spartan-like dames are descended the deli cate creatures that we see to-day, with feet like Cinderella, and cheeks like the pale rose of York. We should like to see one of latter dashing out the brains of a gang of sleeping Indians merely for the absurd pur pose of saving the lives, or avenging the deaths, of her own children. It is a serious thought, that of the delicacy of our women, and the generation that is growing up is like ly to be the feeblest of all, as not only have they been wretchedly trained physically, hut their brains have been overworked by what is pleasantly termed study, though stupidity .could be the better word. Should the change continue for another hundred years, American women will be able to read the history of their sex here in that of the Common Sybil, who faded away to a mere voice, very sweet, no doubt, but not par ticularly useful. The question, what is to be done about it? is one that is very easy to ask, but which is not quite so easy to ans 11l wer. It would require three generations of improvement to give the country a fair start in getting back to the days of strong bodied women who are much more likely to be !strong-minded than are women with frames like rose-bushes.‘lf there is to be a change it must originate with the women, who have i • • been spoilt by the men rather than by them selves."—Boton Traveler. Catechising Jeffrey the Reviewer From a late number of Frazer's 'Magazine,. we copy the following anecdote of Lord Jef— frep--= I was amused by a story I heard of a•. simple minded country parson, whose parish lay upon the firth of Clyde, and so became • gradually overspread with fashionable villas, to which families from Bdinburgh and Glas gow resorted in Summer and Autumn.— This worthy man persisted in exercising the same spiritual jurisdiction over these new corners, which La had been wont to exercise over his rustic parishioners before their ar rival. And in particular, in his pastoral visitations, he insisted on examining the lady and gentleman of the house in the "Shorter Catechism," in the presence of• their children and servants. It happened, one Autumn, that the Lord Jeffrey, after the rising of the Cuurt of Session, came to. spend the long vacation in the parish of - L—. Soon after his arrival, the minister intimated from the pulpit that upon a cer— tain day he would "hold a diet of catechis ing" in the district which included the dwelling of the eminent judge. True to his time, lie appeared at Lord Jeffrey's house, and requested the entire establishment might be collected. This was readily done; for almost all Scotch clergymen, though the catechising process has become obsolete, still visit each house in the parish once a year, and collect the family to listen to a fireside lecture. But what was Lord Jef frey's consternation, when the entire house hold being assembled in the drawing room, the worthy minister said in a solemn voice, "My lord I always begin my examination with the head of the family. Will you tell me, then, what is effectual calling?" Never was an Edinburgh Ileviewer more thoroughly nonplussed. After a pause, during which the several servants looked on in horror at the thought that a judge should not know his catechism, his lordship recov ered his speech, and answered the question in terms which completely dumbfounded the minister— "Why, Mr. Smith, a man may be said to discharge the duties of his calling effectually, when he performs them with ability and success." A NORWEGIAN CRONE.—OIIe of the sta tions was a lonely guard, standing apart from the road, on a high hill. As we drove up, a horrid old hag came out to receive us: "Can I get three horses soon?" I asked.— "No," she answered, with a chuckle. "How soon?" "In a few hours," was her indiffer ent reply, but the promise of paying fast rates got them in less than one. My friend wanted a glass of wine, but the old woman said she had nothing but milk. We were sitting on the steps shortly afterward, when she said, "Why don't you go into the house?" "It smells too strong of paint," I answered. "But you had better go in," said she, and she shuffled off. When we entered, behold! there were three glasses of very good Marsala on the table. "How do you sell your milk?" I asked her. "That kind is three shillings a dram," she ans wered, The secret probably was, that she had no licence to sell wine. I was reminded of an instance which occurred to me in Maine during the prevalence of the Prohibi tory Law. I was staying at a hotel in a cer tain town, and jestingly asked the landlord, "Where is the Maine Law? I should like to see it." "Why," said he: "I have it here in the house;" and he unlocked a back room and astonished use with the sight of a pri rate bar, studded with full decanters.—Bay ard Taylor in Northern Europe.
