earns, of other days, 'were deserving of fame•
—that they Were " patriots" and."lion-hearted
heroes," possessing the qualities of "high-born
honor," " &it ll,' and "sweet•eyed charity."
Very well:" But a little further on he charges
these same men with the respOnsibil!ty of orig
inating the Slave trade in this country :
" Tinfirst the gloomy traffic planned ;
The negro from his native land
" Was torn by your peratie hand," le.
Does he wish to hive us under-tind that
the old Nrw Englanders Were a hand of " pa
triots," or 'hat they were a bind of " pirates?'
It i.s difficult to tell.: In trying to make out
case against the New Englanders of the
present day, he seems worse befogged than
was ever Newfounaland fisherman.

are, at the - present day, monopolized in New

WAstnsarox, Friday, N0v..13. 1857.
. A letter was received. by Gen. Cass this
morning from the Chief Justice of Utah, who
accompanies the eipedition, dated Oct. 1.3.--
It materially confirms yesterday's intelligence
touching the destructien of the train of wag
ons beyond Ft4lLarainie. Two trains with
seventy-eight . wagols4- were assailed by..the
Mormons, at night, on the sth a October, in
narrovi pass near Sweet Water, about 280
miles from Fort Laramie, and completely,
destroyed: . No tufts were fest, Col.. Smith,
with a fOree men , was near by,
bin was not atia. These trains appear
to rave been comparatively unguarded, and
to have been - scattered along ithe- route, nut
expecting a surprise. .They therefore fell an
easy prey to their assailants.
Col. Alettandr's party was in advance
and hail at last accounts passed b e y and
Green River. It is thought that be may be
saved, if, he have the courage to retreat, but
as to do that would involve a
.disregard of
his orders to advance, it seems doubtful
whether the responsibility, of, disobeying
them will be assumed.. • Serious apprehen.
sions fur his fate are entertained: -
Miigivings are -felt concerning the safety
of a heavy sutler's train with a half million
dollars worth :of supplies, which was behind
that destroyed, It the• heavy snows should
have turned it out, of the route taken by the
other train, iris no improbable that it es.
=Ted sharing': its tete. Otherwise its situa
tion is very preduriotil.
Col: Johnson, the commander of the expe
dition, was at Fort Laramie on the sth of
October with thif rear detacknteut, and ex
pectinr, to advance immediately.—N. Y. Tra,

roborative of Judge Echols' were received
this afternoon.. They say: The Mormons
have opened thhill by burning three supply
c tt
trains—two on Green River and one on the
Rig Sandy—the centre trains, Consisting in
all of sexenty-eig wagons. ,
There was a council among the officers,
and it was detirmined, after 'hearing the
opinions of all die guides in relation to the
country, to go arnsnd by Soda Springs, where
the road forks forOtegon and California, and
enter tie Salt Ikel'alley through an ex
tensive valley w&re the arm! uill not
,be
an impediment . This determination the ex
pressman says, was approved of by Col.
Johnston, who told him to say to everybody
"that he intended to Wiaer in the valley or
not at all" - - .
The Mormons are congregated in large
numhers, even on this side of the mountain,
burning the grass; and are determined, it
seems, to prevent the entrance of the troops
into the valley any how. They are regularly
enrolled in thousands, and if Col. Johnston
enters the valley he • ran act only on the de
fen,ive with his handful of men.
The War Department is expecting des
patches ram CAA. Johnstonl 'himself, sent
through General Scott at headquarters.--
Should thedie not -arrive here to-morrow or
by Monday morning, the whole report will
be discredited by the department. Col,
Johnston eertainly never permitted, an ex
press to come back without sending offiCial
de , patches by him.
tar The capture of Delhi on the 20th of
S.pteniber, before;iny of the European reen
foreements had arrived, gladdens the heart of
the English. Their loss however, was severe;
amounting to 40 officers and 600 men, in an
army of little mote than 4,000 Europeans.
The center of the insurrection having thus
come into British possession, all the forces
may now safely be directed against Oude,
which becomes the last focus of the mutineers,
and probably the hiding place of the last of
the Great Moguls, the deludedl,C,lng of Delhi,
who has succeeded in escaping, together with
his family. A long campaign is still required
against the marauders and robber
mains of the mutineers, who for &Tong time
will be the scourge of the country; but the
principal work - has. now been done, and no
fuiliter disasters are to be appreb4tded. It
seems, however, that the importatit town of
Gays bas fallen into the bands -of the insdr
gents, who had defisted a corps of Sikhs sent
from Patut ttgainstibent.

Towaso4, Oct: 31, 1857.
Draii Sus : The battle illost, as men ordi
narily estimate results. It- will diseourage,
the weak and doubting ;•the venal will seek
shelter in the camp of the enemy. The men
of courage and faith will stand firm, with
confidence unshaken in the final triumph of
the right. Courage and perseverance are
qualities essential'in a conflict with error and
wrong; these r vith untiring activity, are the
elements of success in all great revolutions.
I look to the future with unshaken confi
dence. Liberty cannot be crushed out in
this age and country. -OppresSion has no
charter from God, .\ The tyrant that exults
in power, and defiantly assaults not the con.
at:tutional rights of American citizenship, but
the God-given rights of man, shall soon fall
a lifeless and loathsome corpse, under the
persevering and couragerius assaults of truth.
The mere politician believes in the potency.
of great interests.. He itoffs / itt the idea that
any other than selfish nvi)tives influences the
action of men. This insult, froth

roes and martyrs of out' race ,attest the no
blenexe of humanity. Men are capable of
the highest motives and the most loyal stead
fastness to principle. Truth is never silent,
but pleads ever, with irresistible persuasive.
ness and power. There is strength in a no
ble, self-sacrificing diiiiterestedness, baffling
it. a just cause, that cannot be overcome.—
All the gre;,t Moral forces of Nature are
working unceasingly on the side . v.f the right.
In the struggle of life we requirP strength in
overcommgObstecles 'that beset our path.= 1
Disasters s test the constancy and courage of 1
parties as of men. In the nature of things i
reverses must- come, but if we are true to
the cause of Freedom. and humanity our
triumph is certain ; nor will the day be long
postponed. ' Oppression. injustice. and wrong
cannot'statid against righteousness and truth
_ir so Omnipotence is dethroned—then is
the eartht a province of the Evil One, and
man the helpless victim of his malignity. •
In the hour of disaster and defeat, we musi,
'preset ve . an abiding faith in rectitude, and in,
44
the living energies of the Trath. We must . .
never despond, nor weary in the performance
of our high duties, There is. nothing in the 1
result of the late election that should fora I
moment dishearten our hopes or relax our
efforts. It has not changed the esset tint na
ture
of things, it has not made the wrong
right, this is beyond the power of a majority.
Majorities can make the rulers of to-day, but
they cannot make oppression just, nor erad
icate from the hearts of men hatred of the
oppreseor. 'They may uphold for a time vi
olence and•fraud by the strong arm of mili
tary power, but they cannot lawfully take
from man the rights with which his : Maker
has invested him. Not a stone in the citadel
of our strength has been thrown down; we
still stand on the impregnable rock of Truth.
The tyranny, outrage and wrong against
which we protest, is in no
. degree. extenuated
by a majority given against us. Oppression
has gained a new lease of power, but not an:
iota of sanction for its• cruelty and injustice.
Let us renew our vows to Freedom. and
I gain strength fur future conflicts, by divesting
ourselves of every selfish and ignoble desire.
