Washington, May 23. Tho Union pub
lishes a letter from Fort Bridgor, dutcd
April 10th, stating, on authority of Mr. Gil
bert, formcr'y a merchant of Halt Lnke City,
that Governor dimming and Col. Kano were
met by him iu Kclio Canon, -if) miles this side
of Salt Ioke, on tho 7th of April. About
twenty Mormous accompanied them.
On bis way to Salt Lake City from Cali
fornia, Mr. Gilbert met largo numbers of
wagons, heavily loaded, on the way, as was
supposed, to the White Mountains, near tho
borders of New Mexico.
Nearly one hundred wagons were leaving
tho city daily, and so far as women and chil
dren were concerned, tho city was nearly
depopulated.
It is supposed that a large portion of them
are secreted on the City Creek, above Salt
Lake, in the mountains, whero it is known
that tbey have large casks of provisions.
In conversation with Brieham, ho was
told that if the army would give Lim time he
would leave, tint otherwise, he would "send
them to hell across lots.'
The correspondent adds: "We nro await
ing news from Gov. Camming with much
interest and anxiety. His early return to
camp is not looked for by many, as he took
with him large supplies."

berUns Riot In the Cool Helton.
Pottsvii.i.k, P., May 22d. The trouble
among the miners of the Ashland coal dis
trict, near this place, has assumed a seriouB
aspect. luo wort; men struck for lusher
wages several dnys ago, alleging that, at the
rates received, they could uot support their
families. As their employers refused to
make any concessions, the miners went oil in
a body to other collieries to obtain higher
wages, or compel tue ottier workmen to muue
the strike a generul one. They visited
Wadesville and the collieries iu thut vicinity,
and by threats and persuasion, induced the
miners to join them. Yesterday, the mob,
now grown quite formidable, appeared at St.
Clair, and, by their violent demonstrations,
stopped operations at Millies', Johns', Sny
der a, and otoor collieries. 1 ho buoritl s
Deputy was on tho ground, but was unublu
to muko any arrests, in consequence of thu
strength of the rioters. The Sheriff of Scbuyl

TUB EDITORIAL CONTEST IOPI.
Borne of oar eotemporarics are making vari
ous grave commentajo relation, to Ibe late edi
torial convention at Philadelphia, which swal
lowed up, bod and breeches, the Danville in
stitution formed last Juue. We were among
those who attended at Danville, in company
with our neighbor of the Custttt. Tho day
was warm and oppressive. After dinner with
frieiid Miner and several others by invitation,
at the bouse of M r. Cook of the Democrat,
we stepped in tho convention listened to
somo sensible remarks by friend Worden and
others, on the beauties of the cash system,
prepayment and other Utopian measures, and
finding the room close ond warm, and thut
the subjoct of advertising bogus lotteries, and
female golden pills would, most probably, be
passed over in silence, wo left, not feeling well,
to take a comfortable nap in the cool parlor
of tho hotel. We were present omething
loss than an hour, and escaped, just in timo
to prevent being dagucrreolypcd by an artist
who was anxious to procure the shadows of the
body assembled, whether for for its wisdom
or its beauty, we have never heard We look
ed upon the whole thing as a kind of baga
telle, or froiic, with results fur less promising,
and certainly less dishonorable, than tbe lata
Lecompton Convention at Hnriisburg.
We expect to atteud tho convetitioo at
Philadelphia in June, because we hope to
meet, in a social woy, many of our friends.
These social reunions will, no doubt, prove
agreeable as well as profitable to congenial
spirits, but we have uo idea that tbey can
work any great reform in editors who will
brave the statutes of the Commonwealth, and
run the risk of the penitentiary, to make a
few dollars by advertising and encouraging
unlawful schemes. Thoso who recklessly set
at defiance the laws of the Commonwealth,
could hardly bo expected to pay much atten
tion to the mere resolves of a convention.
Since tho abovo was in type, we learn
tho Committee have postponed the Kdito.
rial Convention at Philadelphia from the se
cond Wednesday of June, until tho 20th of
October next. Sorry to bear it.

K3T The editor of tho Columbia Democrat

voted against Lebomplon as "traitors."
These men ore beyond question the three
ablest men of the Pennsylvania delegation in
Congress, and when, in addition, it is admit
ted that their moral character is without
reproach, the absurdity, to say nothing of tho
contemptibility, of such a remark must be op
parent. These men have but represented the
great majority of their constituents. But
there can be no limit to toadyism that incul
cates tho doctriuo thut members of Congress
should be mere tools in the hands of the
President, and pay no regard to the voice of
their constituents.

TRIAL OFMRI. TWIGGS.
Tbe trial of Mrs. Mary Twiggs fir lb
murder of Mre. Clark was commenced on
Tuesday morning last. On Wednesday eve
ning the Jury retired and on Thursday at 2
o'clock P. M., returned with a verdict gnilty.
Tho American soys t
After a solemn paoso in which no sonrtd
was heard save only the subdued sobs of the
prisonor, her counsel, E. H. Baldy, Ksq., mo
ved for a new trial oo tho ground that one of
the Jurors had expressed his opinion of guilt
before entering the Jury box. Witnesses
were summoned who testified that they bad
heard one of tko Jurors, to wit : John Crom
lev, declare his boliofof tho gr.ilt of Mary
was sworn, aad denied the charge. Upon
which the court was adjourned until to-morrow
morning at 7J o'clock, when the decision
of will be given.
FRIDAY MORNINO.
Tho Court House was crowded to its lit
most capacity, when Judge Jtrdan delivered
the opiuioo of the Court, adverse to tho mo
tion for a new trial, and Mary Twiggs was re
quested to rise. The Judge in a voice indi
eating the deep emotions, awakened by the
painful duty before him, enquired if she bad
aught to say why the sentence or death should
not be pronounced upon her. She arose look
ing the very picture of sorrow but uttered not
a word. J lien amid me mosi hipiu -lence,
the Judge pronounced the following
Sontence,
Mary Twiggs: A jury of your country
have found you guilty of the murder or Culh
orine Ann Clark, and it now becomes tny du
ty to pronounce upon you the sentence of
death. I refrain from making any remarks
that might tend to increase your sorrows or
deepeo the anguish you must now feel, lo
the court this trial and its issue have been
most painful. We bavo endeavored to give
you a fair trial and afforded you every oppor
tuuity to establish your innocence, if you
muM. W cnv vou on the trial the full ben
efit of ull the legul positions taken by your
faithful aud able couusel ; tho jury have alter
many hours of calm and serious deliberation,
declared their belief iu your guilt. If you
have been uniustlv condemned, it has not.
been because, those whoso duty it was to
puss upon your guilt or innocence, desired
your condemnation. Tho weight or evidence
thev believed was ouaitiBt you, and demanded
from them a verdict of cuiltv. The Court
would most most earnestlv recommend and
eutreat of you, to spend the brief period there
probably is, between you and eternity, in pre
paring to meet your'final Judge. To him
your guilt or inuocence is well known.
Tho sentence or the Court is, that yon, Ma
ry Twiggs, be taken bence to tho place Trom
whence you came, within the jail or the coun
ty or Montour, and from thence to tho place
of execution, within the walls or Vuld of the
said jail, and that you thore bo haligcd by
the neck until you are dead, and uiay God
have mercy on your soul.
Thus ended the trial of Mary Twiggs for
the murder of Catharine Ann Clark, and the
final tragedy on the scaffold only reuiaius to
close a life of misfortune, All that counsel
could do was done that legal nbility and
foithful devotion to her cause could, accom
plish was invoked in her behalf. In addition
to this sho was tried before a judge possessed
or a humane disposition, eminent as a jurist
and fair and impartial in bis judgment, and
evidently under a deep sense of the great re
sponsibility resting upon him.

STILL AKUTIICK IlKITIMt Ol'THAGE.
The Ship Clarendon Hoarded at Sagua la
Grande Sjririted Conduct of her Captain.
We are informed by Captain Nichols, of
the barque John Howe, arrived at this port
on Saturday, that tho ship Clarendon, Capt.
Bartlett, having on board a cargo of sugar,
bound Tor New York, while laying in tbe port
of Sagua la Grande, was boarded by a boat
from tho British war steamer Buzzard, and
the officer in command immediately jumped
on boatd and proceeded to the cabin, and
commanded Captain B. to hoist his ensign,
which lie reluseu to do, deeming tbe whole
proceedings as an insult. He (thu officer)
then demanded his papers, when he was told
they were at the consul's, and if he knew bis
business be certainly was aware of that fact.
Tho officer then departed, saying he would
report to the commanding officer of the
steamer.
Upon refusal of Captain B- to hoist his
ensign, several shots (blank cartridges) were
fired by tbe steamer, in order to intimidate
Captain Bartlett and compel him to hoist
his ensign, which be did not do. Captain B.
then noticed that they had lowered away two
of their large boats, each cootaining about 50
men, with any quantity of small arms, when
he (Capt. B.) took his ensign and laid it on
tho cabin table. Soon after the boats arrived
alongside, and the commander of the steamer
in person came on board, when Copt. B. re
coived him politely, but protested ac.iinst
the proceedings, and would not allow any of
the men to como on board, threatening to
sboot tbe hrst that attempted it. Capt. 15
and the British commander then proceeded
to tbe cabin, when he (the commander of the
steamer) commanded mm to hoist his ensign
lie replied, "There it lies upon the tablo, and
if your commission is worth enough, hoist it
yoursell." I be uritish otneer, pistol in nana,
commenced pacing tbe cabin, saying that be
would seize the vessel and take her to tbe
port of New York, to which Capt. B. replied
that was exactly what he wanted him to do
wheu. whether by intent or accident, Capt
B. was struck on the breast by tbe hand
which held the pistol. Capt. 11. then pre
sented bis pistol and said "air, beep you
hands oft me, or I will shoot you." The ofii
cer replied "1 did not lay my hands on you,"
when Captain B. rejoined "You did, sir."
The officer inquired if the sugar on beard
belonged to Luptain u. when he replied
never owned a hogshead of sugar in my life.'
Tho same question was asked in regard to the
launches, (boats for conveying the sugar from
the shore ou board,) and the same reply
given. 1 ne ollicer, completely cowed, pro
uecded on deck, and after reaching the duck
in a perfect rage bellowed forth "Lowor
away the gangway ladder," when Capt. B
quietly said "Sir, did you ordur that ladder
to be lowered, or did you request it to be
lowered?" wheu the officer said "Will you
please have it lowered." Capt. B. then gave
orders for it to be done, and the Britisher
departed without baviug accomplished bis
purpose.
AT VARIANCE
Senators Cameron and Bigler appear to be
singularly at variance in their views of Pent
sylvania interests and policy. It is not often
that the Sepators of any one State maintain
such conflicting notions npon great sectional
issues, and particularly noon questions affect
ing the local interests of those they represent.
Upon mere political issues it is no uncommon
thing to find them adversely arrayed ; but
when matters pertaing to their own immediate
State are involved, thev usually been found a
unit both in action and thought. It is tho
misfortune of Pennsylvania to have Senators
who not only differ politically, but whose
ideas ere equally variant as to the interests
ol tier piupie. On Wednesday last, the Sen
ale had up for the consideration the subject
of the wthdi awal of tbe fishing bounties, and
tne release ol tbe duty on salt. Kigier, with
his usual temerity, declared himself in favor
or the former proposition, and opposed to the
latter. This brought down on him the cut
ting sarcasm of M r. Seward, from which he
did not escape without a scathing. "After
floundering about Tor some time in water too
deep for his inches." says a correspondent of
the Philadelphia Enquirer "Senator Cameron
kindly undertook to relievo him from his
awkwurd dilemma." The remarks of Mr.
Cameron, on this occasion, are too good to
be lost, and we therefore quote them in full.
M r. C. said :
''I desire only to say a word in vindication
of my colleague, and 1 think, in jnstico to
him and myself, 1 should be permitted lo say
that word, for you know I do not often occu
py much of the timo of the Senate. It is,
that J am satished bo is acting in accordance
with his well known principles. He is 1 be
lieve, a free trade man, if I can judge him
from his acts. 1 remember that at the close
or the lost session the reduction or duty on
our great staple, iron, was made ir not by his
motiou at least by his vote. He agreed to it
and was perfectly satisfied with it. The re
sult has been to break up every iron master
in Pennsylvania who had uot an immense
fortune beyond bis busiuess in trude. Every
man who has at all been indebted in his busi
ness has been destroyed. The iron business
or Pennsylvania about which goutlemen speak
here is bo longer an interest. No man, unless
ho has a fortune that be has inherited or ob
tained from scourccs beyond his business Is
capable olcomlUClibg a I urn lice lor ailuy.
It may be thu policy of my colleague. And
it may, perhaps be a wise one to break down
all these interests so thut after a while we
shall stand upon a common level, when We
shall be compelled agaiu to return to that
protective American policy Which our fa
thers instituted, and which took euro oT the
couutry.
H we wefe to destroy tho duty on salt now
os proposed by tho Senator from Rhode
1 beleive that after a litllo while the salt in
terests would help the irou interests ; and if
we take off tho sugar duty from gentlemen
down in Lousiaua, 1 think after a while they
will confe to our ground; and if wo should
repeal the law rt-turoing fugitive slaves, nil
tho gentlemen in tho "nigger" Interest would
soon help to take care of our iron.
So. if you run aronfid all these interests
and htriko them down, when We are all so low

some time ago discovered that the lottery
culled the Sparta Academy, of Swaun & Co.,

ceru, although claimed to be existing under
a law ot that btate. J bis concern, with
other Southern lotteries, did more injury in

Union.
It will be remembered thai after the May
or's police broke up a number of policy offi
ces aud lottery agencies iu that city, Swann
iY uo., came out wun a card ortbanks for his
vigilance in breaking up tho bogus lotteries,
and gave the public to understand that their
institution, which existed under a law of tbe
State of Georgia, aud was consequently genu
iue, still flourished, and was distributing mil
lions or dollars iu prizes. This led to a pri
vato.iuvestigatiou, which resulted in Sergeant
Berney being seut by the Mayor as a special
messenger to tbe Attorney General or Geor
gia, to inform him that Swan & Co.'s lottery
was a fraudulent concern. Sergt. Berney
was well received by tne Georgia authorities
who were quite surprised at the discovery

was a "Sparta Academy" lottery, frauchised
by an uct of 1826, but it expired lone since
