DEAR POnIiAMMEI: 8.11.1 ruined ! 1 have
received the punishment due to my sins This
is. 'my last farewell.
Our progress across the plains was presperous,
though, tedious, until we reached Hatn's Fork.
There we were attacked by a troop of half iinkcal
savages, yelling like demons, who treated us iu
the most impolite manner They knocked me
down, sending my front teeth down my throat
and closing up one eye. They then uncsi erna-
Measly deprived us of all our goods and chattels,
even depriving us of every stitch of °Whine.
As there were no tailors along that port'on of
the route, we had to proceed in that unprotected
plight, exposed to the peltings of constant rain
until we reached the mountains. - There we were
stopped for a week by a snow storm, during
which - our position was a very uncomfortable
one, as we lied literally "Nothing to Wear" and
" Nothing to Fat." I there met with the loss of
my ears, nose and toes from the effects of frost.
I unfortunately survived, however, to reach
this city. Imagine my emotions at learning that
my confidence had been be .rayed. Wiggins had
beefi directed, in a vision, to seal Fannie and
Sallie to himself, and had obeyed. Brigham
Young had claimed Bettie and her fortune, but
had been disappointed by Higgins, whb had eloped
with them to parts unknown. Brigham had con
soled himself with Annie; and Stiggins had ap
propriated the widow, who, I have learned with
greet satisfaction, leads him a miserable life of
it I have fears for the safety of his remaining
eye.
The Mormons have treated me with marked in
civility. Their tailors have refused me clothing
on credit, the boys have jeered me in the et:ems,
and the very dogs have harked at eel purstis,l
me. I have fortunately enceeded in secreting
myself in a cellar long enough to write you this
hasty scrawl. I have not tasted food for two
days, and my appetite, always good, is tincom
fortably keen. How I long for Delmonico's!
Remorse adds tenfold horrors to my situation
I can survive but little longer My last advice
to you is, never join the Mormons Never flirt!

A MONUMIAINT FOR OUR OWN BRAVE
DEAD.
The America❑ soldier fights for liberty.—
When his country calls for his services, he
enters the ranks, not for gain or tame, but
to defend and sustain the great cause of hu
man rights This is especially true of the
volunteer—the American citizen soldier.—
NV hen his country requires his aid, everything
is laid aside to do her bidding. From all the
walk© and vocations of life the voice comes up
at the nation's ne d, and says "we are ready."
The American soldiers are distinguished for
their valor, their constancy and their readiness
o shed their blood for the sake of preserving
he destiny of their country. It is therefore
eminently appropriate that fitting memorials
should be raised to those who have died in the
service of the country. We admire their
daring enterprise, and their sell sacrificing
spirit ; we pity their suffering,, and glory
in their bravery, patience and fortitude, and
it is meet that we found monuments to cele.
brats and perpetuate the memory of those
w-o have sacrificed their lives in the battles
of their country. The places where they
rest should be marked and remembered spots,
where those who come after us way learn to
cherish the memory of the brave spirits, who
have yielded np their lives for the nation's
honor.
At the time of the Mexican War, the sons
of Pennsylvania were among the foremost in
answering the call for volunteers, and many
a brave young man left his home to meet an
early death upon the foreign soil, or returned
to die of lingering illness 'from disease cons
iracted in an arduous campaign, in an tame
enstomed and inhospitable climate. The re
mains of many of them now rest in our Alle
gheny Cemetery. Some of them have lain
there for years. ani the recent death of and
they brave young officer, Capt. P. N. Guth
rie, has added another name to the list or the
dead bravo. Their unhonored graves, have
neither " pillar., nor stone to mark the spot "
where they repo'se. Surrounded by the costly
monuments of those whose wealth enables
thew to " wake the tenth a toy," Pennsyl
vanian's brave sons who died in Mexico, have
as yet had no fitting motiumeut erected to
their memory. It ,is time that this pious
duty which the living owe the dead was ful
filled, and the companions in arms of these
dead soldiers have formed an association, the
primary object of which is the erection of a
monument to their deceased comrades. The
Scott Legion," composed of citizens of
Allegheny county, who served as officers and
soldiers iu the war with Mexico, attached to
divers corps, but chiefly to the first and secs
and regiments of Pennsylvania volunteers,
have memorialized the Legislature for aid in
the erection of a monument to be erected over
the remains of the Mexican. soldiers who are
buried in the Allegheny Cemetery The ob
ject is one to which every repidientative in
the halls of the capitol should be - willing to
give a favorable response. The patriotic pride
of every Pennsylvanian calls for some such
public testimonial to the memory of those
who were slain in Mexico. - We hope that
the prayer of the memorialists may be promptly
granted, and by the present Legislature. It
is due to the brave men who survive, as well
as to the dead, that their request should be
granted.
We make the following extract from their
memorial, which briefly and eloquently calls
for action of the people's representatives to
aid in the consummation of a design whch
the people approve. They say in addressing
the Legislature that :
The remains of many of our late companions
in arms now repose, unmarked and unnoticed, in
the " Allegheny Cemetery," near Pittsburgh.
Some of them were killed in action ; others died
amid their friends, victims of the diseases and
exposures incident to tht arduous services in
which they were engaged. Mingled with the
rest are the ashes of thirteen members of com
pany K., first regiment Pennsylvania volunteers,
(Duquesne Greys,) killed at the siege of Puebla,
gallantly and victoriously contending against ten
times their number, without support, at a dis
tance from the post, which had been so long and
courageously hold against an almost overwhelm
ing host of the enemy, commanded, during a
portion of the time, by Santa Anna, the head of
the Republic of Mexico The history of the war
exhibits few events of more importance than the
siege of Puebla. When the main body of oar
army marched upon the city of Mexico, the com
mander-in-chief selected the First Pennsylvania
regiment to hold the important posts of Parole
and Puebla, for the double purpose of protecting
his rear and keeping open the communication
with the seaboard. Immediately after his de
parture the latter post was attacked by au im
'Densely superior force, and for five weeks the
small garrison defended and maintained their
position, in the very midst of a hostile, vindic
live and treacherous population of a hundred
thousand people, until the arrival of re-inforce
ments under General Lane, when, in a sortie to
drive the assailants from strong fortifications,
from which they had lopg.ppured an incessantly
murderous tit l e upon our weak quarters, there
thirteen citizens of this, and adjacent counties,
lost their lives in the moment of victory.
In the same spot are the remains of Lieut.
Parker, that gallant Pennsylvanian whose chival
rie, exploits have made his name immortal and
added imperishable glory to our navy.
For ourselves we want nothing—our own vol
untary contributions will defray all the expenses
of our association, and for maintenance we look
to the labor of our own hands. We ask no pen
sions—no reward--no thanks--but we do ask
that the great State of Pennsylvania will honor
the memory of those whose gallant achievements,
heroic devotion and disinterested patriotism, hon
ored her and our common country. In the tri
umphal march of our armies from the Gulf to
the heart of Mexico, in every engagement Penn
sylvania was nobly represented ; her pristine
renown was sustained ; the courage and the vir
tues displayed in 1776 and iu 1812, wore neither
forgotten nor dishonored. Those in the western
portion of the State, do not claim to have
Lecomplished more than others, but they have
suffered more, and as a just and dearly -earned
tribute to those who have sacrificed all, save
.ionor, for the State and the Republic, we ask,
simply, such a monument as will at once perpet
uate their memory and testify the affection of a
grateful people. It is no new nor extraordinary
appeal; every State in the Union has probably
evinced, ou many occasions, similar manifesta
tions of gratitude to their citizens; our statute
books, to the credit of the Commonwealth, fur
nishprecedents ' • even as late as 1854, our
brethren of Philadelphia received an appropria
tion for the same object, which they most nobly
earned, and which rejoiced us as much as it did
then'. Nor can this application be regarded as
sectional in its character ; it is a matter that in
terests the whole people. We desire to conse
crate to valor and patriotism a spot where the
citizens of all parts of the State, now and here
after, can come and do honor to their defenders,
can learn lessons of love to their country, and
be assured that duty well performed in time of
war, meets its reward in time of peace; and
that communities, like individuals, know how to
appreciate service and to express gratitude.
For these, and many other reasons that might
be given, your memorialists pray for an appro
priation for the laudable purposes before men
tioned, and confidently trust that their prayer
will be cheerfully, promptly and liberally an
swered.

word "damaged," making two syllables of it,
with a profane construction on the first, that
made her hold up her hands in unqualified hor

see the need of putting it quite so strong--so
much stronger than the goods are, I dare say."

EVENING BE3eIoN
Mr. Bell resumed his - speech on the Kansas bill.
But how, he asked, shall we cut the elordian knot of
Kansasltolities ? shall it be by the sword or by
peaceful means The President, said Mr. Bell,
recommends the admission of Kans..s under the Le
compton Cot stitutiun, maintaining the legality of
that instrument, and its accordance with the organic
act. Mr. Bell here entered into an examination of
the organic law, to see if it conferred the power upon
the people Kansas to bum a Constitution when
ever they please, without referenai to Lan , or pupu
was sure it conreyed no such power. It
it did, it, would have a most mischievous effect*. Utah,
New Mexico, Nebraska, Washington, and Dacntah,
might all come in thi-t sss•inn under snob a princi
plc. here then, he :ay.', is heresy put forth at al'
threshhold by the Preside-1
Next, ea to the legality of ins Lecompton Constt
tution, he referred to the authentic reeords c.i our
uessive fraud, and expressed surprise that Sot ,tnr
n the face of each evidence, could argue in thvor
the legitimacy of that institution. It would, h.,
o. utende.d, take. twice two thousand troops to !ores
that Constitutum upon the people of Kansas.
11. tr. Bell then went into a lengthened review of the
Presidential campaign 14 1952, showing the feeling
then existing in relation to tho Missouri fiemoromise.
The successful candidate of that campaign, on corn-
ing into office, pledged himself to maintain the peace
of the country, but within eight months, through the
agency of souse diabolical magic, the aspect of the
political sky was changed, and a tempest arose that
is still raging. The Free Soitors in the House and
Senate had iargety increased, and will continue to
increase. Du the Southern gentlemen wish to mul
tiply thew still faster? Ile thought one of the worst
results of the Kansas Nebraska bill was to cement
and lay the .oundation of the organisation of this
sectional party tie furring to the assertion that the
admission of Kansas would allay the excitement, he
prophesied that it would take three years at the
soonest before it would subside.
Iu conetusi..,n, he commented severely on Mr.
Seward's threat that the agitation must continue un
til the South ceases to seek the extension of slavery
under the Federal Constitution, and expressed his
owo unalterable attachment ti the Union.
The Senate than adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
The Speaker announced Messrs. Florence, M'Clay,
Ullman, Sickles and Waldron, as a committee to in
vestigate the charge in relation to the sale of the
Pennsylvania Bank building, in Philadelphia.
The consideration of the Volunteer bill was re
sumed.-
MEM
WASHINGTON, March 19.—Senator (twin's resolu
tion of inquiry concerning the massacre of California
etnigrante•in Utah, was passed.
The Vice President laid before the Senate a joint
resoluticin of the Legislature of New Molico, con-
curring ia !hp Presidents views relative to the re-or
ganization of the Territory of Arezona and suggest
ing the hotindaries of the same. It was referred and
ordered to be printed.
Mr. Foster took the floor. He said that ho had on
a former occasion; called the attention of the Senate
to certain objectionable features in the Leoompton
Constitution, and would now advert to other strong
and conclusive objections to that instrument. He
would ask : Is this Constitution before us in such a
shape as fulfils all legitimate.requirements ? If it
does, Kansa3 ought to be admitted; if it does not,
she ought to be rejected. He then proceeded to dis•
cuss the validity of the various arguments for and
against Leoompton, and discussed at great length the
Kansas Nebraska act and kindred topics. Ile
thought that the argument that it would give peace
to the country unetatesmaulike. Senators should do
justly and fear not. lie believed that the bill would
not produce peace, but the sword. He would neither
threaten himself, nor be swayed by threats from oth
ere; and yet these were the sort of arguments offered
by statesmen to_statesmen in the American Senate.
Recurring to Leconaptoa, he utterly denied the right
of Congress to alter or amend it. If any alteration
was made, it must be sent baok to the people of Kan.
sas, that it may become an expressiou of their will.
Mr. Foster concluded by expressing himself in gen
eral terms e.gaintit the hill.
The Volunteer bill was passed. It authorizes the
President to receive into service one regiment of
Texas mounted volunteers for the defense of the fron
tier thereof. And for the purpose of quelling dis
turbances in Utah ; for the protection and supply of
emigrant trains, and the suppression of Indian hos.
unties on northern and north-western frontiers, the
President is authorised to accept the services of any
number of volunteers not to exceed four regiments,
the same, or any portion thereof, to be organized in
mounted regiments or infantry, as the President may
deem proper. The volunteers are not to be accepted
in bodies of less than one regiment, whose officer
shall be appointed in the manner described by law
in the Several States and Territories to which said
regiments shall respectively belong.
Mr. Clay said that inasmuch as the Legislature of
Alabama passed resolutions to call a convention to
decide on a course of oaten in the event of the re
jection of the Kansas pin, he felt bound to defend
the course of that State. After reviewing at length
the events in Kansas with the strife of parties there,
which he maintained was nut a struggle between two
geographical seotione, but between a party opposed
to the administration, and that favorable to it. He
proceeded to inquire into the validity of Leoompton.
Many States, he said, had been admitted without the
submission constitution, and he thought that the
Lecomptuu Convention would nave acted more in
accordance with the principles of the country if it
had not submitted the Constitution to the people,
either In whole or in part. Our government is not a
Democracy, but is Republican. To this point hie
quoted Madison, adding that our fathers knew that
pure Democracy is more the voice of a demon than
the voice of God. History has proven that a pure
Democracy is the most rapacious of tyrannies,
wholly irresponsible, acknowledging no master be
sense it is law unto itself. It is even ready to carry
into excess the prejudice of the hour rather than
principle. He regretted the growing proclivity to
wards Democratizing or rather mobocratizing every
department of our government. This, he assented,
is the Red Republicanism of revolu.ionists. Sheer
radicalism ; God forbid that it should supercede or
swallow up the philosophical principles of the gov
ernment of,our fathers. When the Union becomes
the instrument of oppression to the South he would
destroy it at once.
Mr. Houston animadverted upon some remarks of
Mr. Clay against the opponents of the Nebtr...ekti
Bill.
Mr. Clay intended no personal disrespect. His re
marks bad only a political leaning. He compli
mented Mr. Houston on his courage in the field as
well as on his wisdom In council.
Mr. Houston replied that every American citizen
had courage, and if he had ever displayed any in an
eminent degree, it was when he stood up here against
the opinions of his friends and opposed the Nebraska
Bill. He regarded that bill as a fatal measure, fos
tered by demagogues, originated by ambition, and
intended only to unite the South with a few North
ern States to make a President.
Mr. Clay answered that the Missouri restriction
placed a badge of inferiority on the slaveholding
States. The Legislature of Texas had condemned
Mr. Houston for voting against that bill.
Mr. Houston said that he made the State of Texas,
but did not make the people. They came there any
how. But their condemnation of his vote did not
dishonor him..
Mr. Durkee said that he intended to make a speech,
but his health Loins poor he got his colleague to read
it for him. He took strong grounds against Lecomp
ton, and reiterated the arguments generally urged on
that side, of an attepmt to force that creature of
frauds, forgery and spurious returns upon Kansas.
He said that no man can foretell the results. Nu
merous extracts from the letters of Wise, Walker,
and others, were read, supporting Mr. Durkee's
views. In adopting Lecompton, he contended that
we abandon the ballot box, and resort to the prin
oiple of tyrants that might makes right. If the
people of the North subthit to Binh outrages, he
would think Mr. Hammond right in saying that they
were slaves. Mr. Durkee conoluded his speech at
five o'olock.
In order to close the debate to-morrow, the Senate
decided to — meet at eleven o'clock in the morning,
and then adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. Faulkner, of Virginia, from the minority com
mittee, offered the following amendment: To retain
that part of the bill providing for the organization
of a regiment of mounted volunteere for the defense
of the frontleie of Taxis, but instead ' of authorizing
the Proaidont to aoiopt the unless of four regiment.

Mr. A. Matchett, a trader probably as well known as
any man in Western Pennsylvania, states as follows :
" I met with a farmer in ArmAtrong county who was
reduced by Dyspepsia to a mere skeleton; I persuaded
him to buy a bottle of Boarhave's Holland Bitters,
believing it would cure him. Meeting him some
months after, what was my astonishment at finding
him a hale, hearty man; he told me he now toeiyhed
200 pounds, and that this wonderful change had been
produced by Bcerhave's Holland Bitters, to which hc ,
attributed solely his restoration."
