Utah and the Mormons.
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

Expedition." You see, gentlemen, you bad

NOVEL MARRIAGE CERE3IONr.—Rev. Chas.
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.—

LovoLss ON Tut: SENATE }loom—The
Washington correspondent of the Indepen
dent gives the following vivid description of I
the' Little Giant" when under full headway:
Ile is very short in stature, bu(of such
physical proportions, aside from this lack,
as instantly to attract the attention of a
stranger. very large bead, connected
with bread and powerfully built shoulders
by a short full neck, a chest sufficiently
roomy to contain the lungs of a giant, and
a pair of short, dumpy legs, complete the
physical picture of the "Little Giant," if
we except the broad, lofty Websterian brow,
and the deep set cavernous eyes that sparkle
and glow, when excited, like millers' lamps
beneath it. 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.

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
