The Danger of War in sliTtah. The New York iraild, in • the following article, sustains the views expressed by the IttiLLETEN upon several recent occasions: ' The excitement in Utah over :dr. Cullom's bill for the. uppression of polygamy will be greatly intensified when the llermons dis cover the actual provisions of the bill, as it has been amended by the Committee on Ter- , ri tortes. After describing. and declaring polygamy to he a crime, the ;amended bill provides that, for the enforcement of this law. the PreSident shall send a sufficient. body et' troops t 3 Utah ; and, to this end, he is au thorized to employ, the regular army, and also to raise 25,000 militia in the territory. It further provides that the property of any nor mons who may leave Utah on account of this law, or who may be imprisoned for resistance thereto,shall be taken andused for the benefit of the families of such Mormons. - - This bill mewls war. Its terms and its pro visions are in the nature of preparations for war. Its execution will assuredly be followed by was. Not only is the regular army .to be ordered to . Utah, but volunteers aro to be called for; and these forces are to be plaebd under command of the experienced military officer, General Shaeffer, whom Grant has just appointed Governor of the Territory. Will the Mormons tight? Will they fly ? Will they give uppolygamy ? Fifteen years ago, wheuthe Mormons had less than a quarter of their present strength, they showed their entire readiness to tight for their system. They met General Johnston's army in the. monntains, harasSed his advance on their strongholds, and, though matters soon came to a point at which •warlike opera tions were stopped; they gave proof of , their power tb Offer formidable. resiktance, as, well as of theit willingness to confront any enemy. Previous to that time, when ittNauvoo, they frequently displayed a similar spirit and ppur ose.--having their troops always organized, and ways in the attitude of saints militant and belligerent." In •fact, the. Mor mon Church and army have been ono and indivisible" from thetime that they Were both organized by the Prophet Joseph Smith. We do not believe - that any 4 One who com prehends the system ~ and spirit of Prighatn Young, as he bas :kept .them up fiJir the last quarter of a contury,Pcan doubt that the Mor- 4 mons are. prepared to .assume., a, belligerent attitude if the prinelPl4'of :Cullom's bill are enforced against them by. military power: They will not give, polygamy for they hold. it to be as nine a Matter of 'divine revelation as any, other doctrine - of Mormonism.

WAS IT A 3/111IDER? , . A Mtn iii fled ou the Conueltstille iron d—Lvetti i'la►y Suspected---Au duvesti• untiou to be instititted. The Pittsburgh rot , t of yeiterday says: Chi Friday night, about eleven, o'clock,. the iifcKecsporr night accommodatien train on the Connellsville- Railroad struck a' man who y),nine on the track near Port. Perry, in Ikritig injuries which cimsed the death of the tinfor made victim within an hour 'after the casualty occurred. The following articular of the affair have been receivt-ii ' The deceased was • a Coal ruiner named Michael Dougherty. On Fri day evening he attended a dance at a tavern), hi the vb laity of his residence, at which, it is said, he hi came intoxicated. He started for lanne about ten o'clock, accompanied by two other lien. 'At eleven o'clock the aceommo datien train came tip, and the engineer, Mr. Thomas, discork.ed the body of- a man lying On the right hand rail, a few yards in advance of his engine. The train had jest left the sta tion at Port l'erry,and had not got tinder head way. The engine was at once reversed, and the irakes applied, but before the train was .clicc-ked tim engine - Inutstruck - the - man anti dragged him a distance of about thirty feet. Tice body was at mice taken up and 'conveyed to the residence of the deceased, where - an ex ainination proved that life was not yet extinct. A physician was summoned, but before his arrival the man was past all hope of recovery, and death ensued a few minutes after thedloc tor appeared upon the scene. The coroner went 'up on Saturday morning and procured the requisite number of jurors, Who were dilly sworn to inquire into the facts connected with the case. The testimony of the engineer and fireman of the train was taken, from which nothing further was elicited than the fact already mentioned, that of the man lying on the track. It appealed from other testimony that Dougherty, when he left, home, bad in his possession about forty dollars, and when his pockets were searched,after he died, not a cent of the money aonld be found. Upon these facts are grounded the suspicion that he was knocked on the head and robbed, and the perpetrators, thinking they had killed him, placed the body on the track in order to es cape the charges of murder and robbery. So strong is the suspicion that the deceased met with foul play, that the Coroner deter mined upon a thorough and searching investi ation of the matter. The inquest was:accord ingly adjourned till Wednesday afternoon; when it will be resumed at the office of Capt. Woods, in - Port Perry. Meantime a strict Watch will be kept on certain parties who are not above -suspicion, and it' is probable that ore this meets the public eye a number of arrests will have been made. - The deceased was aged about thirty-one years: He has loft a widow and five children in abject poverty and want. It is stated that the sum of thirty-five cents is all the poor woman possessed at the time of her husband's .death.

We give the above, it will be seen, an un usual place for advertisements in the column of the Retold. W,e do this with a full appre ciation of the Charity we so kindly, bestow upon a well deserving but a rather feeble con temporary. It is pleasant, you know, to help the weary and the distressed. Therefore, while 'we reflect upon the fact that the Now York now is or was owned in part by.the agent 'cif The N CWY ork Agsi - teizifed pres's; and', reit: thermore, that the Associated .Press cable agent in London was once an attache of the New York Tiniv, we feel more than rejnieed in havinf , ' this .opportunity, to display an in stance or our exemplary philanthropy. The llerold does not ask for itself any, such style of advertisement. It paid , for Atlantic cable despatches in the beginning of the' enterprise more than all the New York or all the Ameri - can nui%spapers put together., ' Yet,, being in an association wherein interests are sup. posed to be identical or held in common, we May be permitted to inquire why cannot this same Associated Tress afford to send, at an expense say of twenty or thirty dollars in gold Per day, a cable despatch - nothing up some other member of the associated Press? Now there i our philosophizing neighbor of lie Tribune. Why don't the agents of the Associated Press in Lon don and this. eity give the Tribune a lift by cable? We Will not pretend to say will be most interesting or most bdnoti i ial hi that journal ; yet .we venture to, pre- : diet that the fact that an essay about the taliff 'in - wool or pig iron, or upon the pro pagation of strawberries or the incubation of squashes, if announced by cable as published in the London Star or Loudon Post, or atiy other cockney journal, will be hailed with huge satisfAction by our porid lily featured contemporary in 'Printing House square. Then,there is our other friend and enjoyer of "the benefits of this benign association—the effulgent and exuberant bun. Let the agent of the Ai soeiated PreSs send by eagle a despatch tLat won't cost more than thirty 'dollars in gold; announcing - that the London Ow/ has " copied au extract from the .Suie announcing that the genial editor has concluded upon having Mr. I humid] Drew, or Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, or Mr. George Law, or Mr. Iteddy the Blacksmith the next President of the United State:S. That would be a very Mee advertisement, and would undoubtedly he handsomely appre ciated.

A Drove of Elk Try to Run Away from au [From tho Sioux City lows Times of..Tati. 31. J The passengers on the morning train leaving this city for Cherokee on the lowa Falls and Sioux City Railroad were not only spectators,. but participants in one of the most exciting races that has come within the range of our experience. • On last Saturday morning, Nviien between Lemars and Cherokee, the train,in rounding a curvo,thundered down on a drove of fourteen large, full-grown elk, which were quietly browsing on the open prairie about fifty yards west of the track, , Startled thus, ,-suddeuly ft•oni their quietude, they immediately started Off on a fall run, no doubt expecting to dis tance the frightful and fiery • monster that had se suddenly broken in 'npon'them while they were eating their morning meal.

DERGLARY AT DOVER, DEL. THE AfOMCIATED PRESS. A NOVEL RACE. Eindne. Mt A fliAllre. Dilt..4l,WlN , ADAMS. —Mr. Edwin Adams began an engagement at the Walnut Street Theatre last evening, in a drama entitled .Nardssei the, Vagrant. The play was produced In this city soine years ago bythe tragedian Daniel Bandmatirr, armfmany of our readers donhtlem will reniember his' tine personation of the character of "Nar- CiSBe." it h 3 the - work of a Gerrnart author who adopted the names of very dramatiC torical personages, and fitted 'a plot . tg a very dramatic period without pretending to acpU racy in his portraits. Yarease is a story of in trigue in the court of France in the, time .of Loins XV. The pivotal figure, although not the most prominent figure, is: Madanto del Pompadour. The well-known 'fact of .her abandonment of her devoted husband for the shameful honors of the position Of , 'the king's favorite,' is the foundation ; 'of tie plot. The Pompadour's real, husband L'Etoiles, is transforreed by the' playwright' into ‘ homeless vagabond, 'who; hae devoted his poor life to pursuit of the woman who has betrayed him, but whom he still fovea mOst'desperately. The character of . the royal mistress is, not, more accurately. drawn. Instead of the cold, heartless, selfish, utterly-abandoned woman,who never kneiv • pure, or even. a sincere.passion;. who, from her childhood, aspired to the sacrifice of her womanhood to her • ambition, and who clutched the fragment of her power with „ feeble hands even upon her dying bed, mire-' pentant to the last, We have in the. play the picture of a woman Iyho is a,prey constant remorse, and whose soul is filled with anguish as The reflects upon her lost purity, and the happiness she once,enjoyed in, loving • her•husband tenderly. If the dramatist had sacrificed historical truth for the sake of giving, greater strength to a series of situations already powerful, there could be no possible °Ejection; but this author we think, rather lost than gained, by departure from • truth. At any rate, we may say that he has not availed himself fully of the opportunities aflerded 'by the Kiltiget. Ireal climax in the' entire drama; and that is in 11w fifth act, where, in humble imitation of the play scene n,Hamlet, the guilty ,woman is . convicted of crime by the representation upon. a mimic stage. by her husband , himself, of the agony endured by him in consequence 'of her desertion of hiM. The rest of the drama moves easily and naturally • to that point. The mystery is unravelled` grialually and with sufficient discretion to se-; . cure the Close attention of the spectator ;' and there are, too, several tolerably strong situa tions which' excite Some enthusiasm. The" character of " Narcisse 7 ' is a good one, anti it is drawn with great care ; with too much care we may say, for it is 'elaborated into a Curious cOmpound of humor, passion, romance, philo sophy and misty German metaphysics. Some of the heroic and philosophic sentiments to which this •ingenious vagabond gives utter ance are as vague and subtle as the :inocula tions of ' Carlyle's Mynheer Terifelsdroeti— much too subtle anti vague, we imagine; for the intellectual appetites of 'audiences that have satisfied their cravings With •The' Com monplaces of Net Guilty and the namby-pamby. sentiment of East Lynne. Mr. Adams's personation of "NaretSse" worthy of Warm praise. Graceful avid ele gant in manner, having nice sensibility, bright intelligence andarery considerable elocution-_ ary skill, Mr. Adams can present almost any romautic.or tragic part ereditably. Ibis one, 1: despite its faults, he .contrives to make in tensely interesting. if there seems to be a • want of sincerity about it seems 'some times to be too artificial, the fault may justly be laid upon the playwright, who lies con structed an unreal personage. But Mr. Adams's . performance was distinguished generally fo • easy grace, and uerfeet fidelity to the concep2 tiou ;'and when natural emotion was:to be ox pressed it'WaSinterpreted truthfully and ef fectively. If some of the transcendeatalism were cut out of the lines, there would be no reason why the personation should not enjoy .great popularity. _lt ale, romantic. , and. semi, mental enough to please the mist :ardent ad mirers of characters of that kind: • Mr. Adarns was well supported. cot p'ayed even wore elegantly than usual, and Mrs. WaleOt and Miss Graham both dish tinguished thenisolves by artistic 'interpreta 7 - Lions of their respective characters. ISRAELITES IN RESSIA. Successful Efforts of Gov. Curtin ln Their Behalf. Some months ago .the prominent Israelites of this and other cities in. a formal manner asked General Grant to instruct our Minister at St. Petersburg, his Excellency Andrew G. Ciirtin, to make all efforts in his power to al leviate the condition of the Jews in 'Russia, as it was reported that this people Were sub jected to peculiar hardships , by a recent Im perial edict. The cominittee had an interview at the time with Secretary Fish, who issued ,instructions-.to Minister Curtin to make the proper representations to •the Czar of the wishes of the American Israel: ites as apprcived of by GerieralGrant Tor the amelioration of the condition of their brethren in distress. Minister Curtin, now promptly re-' ports that his efforts have proved successful; and'that the Emperor, desirous of showing his good will to the United States, had made many reforms in the treatment of the Lie brews throughout his Empire. That the prejudices of his people were, beipg gradlially exterminated before the ' ,progress of eduCation and other reformatory measures.
