Through the columns of Thursday's Jour
nal, the Republican candidate for the import
ant office of County Commissioner makes a
partial attempt to come down out of the tree
of defalcation as a tax collector for Indiana
township, where, since the nomination, he
has been hanging by the coat tails.
"By the statement exhibited to us," says
the Journal," it appears that Mr. Patterson
has for several months held warrants and
other vouchers to the amount of over 54900
against the County, but that he never suc
ceeded until within a few days in getting a fi
nallettlement ;tit the County Commission

on account of 1857. This year's settlement
cannot be considered as closed until mid..
Bummer, the duplicates not being issued unN
til July or August of each year.
We do not wish to do Mr. Patterson the
slightest injustice, but before he is fairly out
of that tree, the people of the country will
require an answer to the following questions.
How did Zacheus heoome possessed of the
"warrants and other vouchers amounting to
over 900 al" against the County ? Did he
receive them for taxes from the citizens of
Indiana township,or did he "buy them up,"
as other speoulating tax collectors before him
have done—at discount? In other words,
has Zacheus used the public money for his
own gain and emolument since 185, watch,
ing the chances to bay claims against the
county from jurors, witnesses, or other per
sons to whom the county chanced to be in_
debted ? The tax payers would like to know
why Zacheus has kept their money since
1556, while an empty treasury was staring in
the face of those whom the county e,Tred ? So
much for 185t)."-
The Journal states that "Zacheus exhibited
a receipt of Mr. Muse on account of 1857."
We admit that the had custom of not closing
tax collector's accounts until midsummer has
prevailed, as the Journal states, and Mr. Pat
terson is entitled to the full benefit of this
bad precedent.
But the tax payers by referring to the tab.
ular statement prefixed to the Auditor's Re
port published in April last, find that of the
sixty-oue tax collectors of the county for
1857, every one except four had paid some
thing on account, and Zacheus is one of the
four who had paid "nary red" in April last.
By the Auditor's Report, his account fur
1857, stands thus :
Zacheus Patterson...
The Journal says Zacheus has a receipt on
account, but it does not deign to toll us for
what amount. Is it so small that he is
ashamed to give the figures ?
We, in common with all the tax payers of
the county, are rejoiced to hear that Zachous
is paying up. Ho has had our money during
a year of commercial disaster, when money
was worth two and three per cent a month.
We have no doubt ho has made good use of it.
We hope he will be able to show a clear rtA
ceipt from the county for all demands by
midsummer, as he expects, and then the tax
payers of-thei.county being square with Za
cheus, and fully appreciating his financial
ability in withholding their money from the
Treasury will vote him a quiet and unclip.

all differences have been healed and the Hon.
William Montgomery declared unanimously
the candidate for Congress. The editor of
the Messenger, who fought hardest and lon

and yields gracefully, and under all the cir

love and cherished friend. Col. Jesse Lazear
but maintains the consistency of an unblemf,

we are sure will thereby be the more endeared

regular nominee, after a warfare fur the nom

in the State.
We sincerely hope Mr. Montgomery may

IA The happy Union."
In Pennsylvania, as well as in"..Ohio, the
opponents of the national Democracy are
daily becoming more and more dissevered
in their efforts to arrive at a basis of union.
Having no well established and uniform plat
form of principles upon which to rally and
concentrate their forces, the Black Republi
cans in many districts are quarreliing,among
themselves, about nominations and local
issues as is the case in this county. From
present prospects, we judge that by the 1 - )th
of July when the Cunvention meets at
Harrisburgh, which is
.expe,2ted to cement
the bonds of the " happy union," the incom
patable elements of the opposition, will
"agree to disagree," and will place at least
two ticket , ; in the field.
A Eew days since, through inadverturo on
our part, a few liars wore added to an ad%
vortisement of Dr. S. S. Fitch, of New York,
which referred in unjust and der o gat u ry
terms t Drs. I. itch S„ Ss lies, of this city. In
our judgment there is a limit beyond which
profes,honl rivalry, even in advertisements,
should nut be permitted to pass, and we have
suppressed the lines which we refer to as soon
a.; they met our attention. We have known
Drs. Fitch L Sykes for some time, and have
always esteemed them skillful in their profes-
sion and courteous gentlemen. They bear a
high and well deserved reputation throughout
the West for their remarkable success in
treating diseases of the throat and lungs. Dr.
S. S. Pitch, of New York, is also well known
for his skill in treating similar diseases, and
we confess our surprise that he should have
permitted himself to have allowed such ex
pressions as we speak of, regarding profes
sional rivals, to be attached to his advertise
meat.

PUBLIC BENEFACT'OII.B.
We frequently observe in our exchanges
from various sections of 'the United States,
comments upon the remarkable success at
tending the treatment of Drs. Fitch & Sykes,
of our city, in diseases of the throat and
lungs, together with the grateful testimony of
their patients, and we feel that the great prev
alence of these diseased and the general in
terest attaching to them, justifies us in copy
ing the following case from the Brownsville
Clipper. That paper says:
We have been requested to publish the follow
ing certificate, which we cheerfully do, as the
lady who has given it is well known in this
vicinity as sustaining the vary highest character
for candor and integrity, and it i 3 but fair that
Drs. Fitch & Sykes should hava the benefit of
her statement, especially as it comes from one
whose cool, deliberate judgment and decision of
character are proof against its having been
given for publication from any other motive or
consideration, as the lady- herself says, than a
firm conviction, from actual experience, in the
efficacy of the treatment of these eminent gen
tlemen, in consumptive or pulmonary complaints,
and a desire to benefit others who may be simi
larly afflicted with this wasting and insidious
disease:—
CERTIFICATE
BROWNSVILLE, Juno 13th, 1858
Drs. Fitch .6 Sykes :—Feeling some delicacy in
consenting to the use of my name in connection
with any communioation for the public eye, no con
sideration would have been sufficient to overcome
n y reluctance to do so, but c sense of justice to your
professional skill, and of duty which I feel that I
owe to others who may be similarly afflicted with
myself, and may be seeking that relief and restora
tion to health, which, under Providence, I have so
happily experienced at your hands.
Waiving medical technicalities, with which I am
not very familiar, I will proceed to give a plain stater
mont of my case when I first applied to Dr. C. M.
Fitch, at Pittsburgh, in 1854, and of the beneficial
effects which I experienced from his treatment,:and
subsequently from that of the present firm. I was,
and for a considerable time had been, troubled with
a hacking and most distressing cough, attended with
expectoration, ulcerated throat, with so much general
debility and complete prostration of the nervous
system, as to render it extremely difficult, at limos,
to speak aloud, or to avoid exhaustion from the
slightest physical efforts. I had tried all the ordinary
remedies in vain, pr.,‘ ious to my application to Dr.
Fitch, hut from whose treatment at that tint , , and
later, of that of Drs. Fitch and Sykes, 1 have en
tirely recovered wy usual health and strength.

We also:copy another case from the (.1
Elan Times, Chicago. That journal, in speak
ing of a cure made by .Dr. Fitch & Sykes,
says
The fallowing case of 'recovery from a severe
case of Asthma, of thirteen ycars standing, is
so remarkable that we think'it fully worthy of
publication. The lady in question. Mrs.
Christiana Dodge, is a resident of our pity, living
on Barnstable street, two doors above the High
School, and the f&cts given below we learned
from her own lips. As already intimated, she
had been afflicted with the Asthma for thirteen
years. The attacks wore spasmodic, and the
congestion of the lungs was so great that the
only relief sho (maid gain was from copious
bleeding. On two occasions the attack was so
severe that she was thought to be dead from
suffocation. She had been attended by several
eminent physicians; but they could none of
them find anything but bleedin g and the occa
sional employment of merourials which seemed
to be of even temporary service. The attacks
confirmed to increase in frequency as well as
general severity, until for four months before the .
period that she obtained the first effectual relief,
elle has been unable to sleep in her bed a single
night. From the frequent bleedings general
dropsy set in, and her physiciad had no alterna
tive but to advise her to set her affairs in' order
as she would be likely to live but a short time.
At this critical period Dr. Calvin M. Fitch vis
ited Milwaukee, and by the advice and earnest
solicitations, not only of her friends, but also of
her liberal-minded physician, she visited Dr.
Fitob, and placed herself under his care. Im
provement was soon manifest. The inhalations
which the Doctor seemed to afford almost imme
diate relief, and when under the use of these and
the constitutional treatment directed at the same
time, improvement steadily continued.
It is now more than a year and a half since
she has had an attack of the asthma; every
trace of dropsy has also disappeared, and the
lady is rejoicing in the enjoyment of better
salth than she has known for more than one
th•
.4 of her previous lifetime.
• leo learned from Mrs. Dodge the particu
lars of, another case of much interest, the gen
tleman in question being the son of one of our
most „prominent politicians, and who aeeompa.
nied stirs. Dodge to Milwaukee at the same time,
and wa4., by Dr. Fitch's prescriptions, perma
nently relieved of an asthma of two years stand
ing. We refrain from giving this gentleman's
name, as we do not yet know whether or not i)f
ilhie e
would be willing to have the pu
ease made public. If ho should not object, we
may give them at another time.
Dr. C. M. Fitch has now established his
office permanently at No. 191 Penn street,
Pittsburgh. His partner is Dr. J. W. Sykes,
a gentleman most eminently qualified for his
position, if talent, integrity and experience
are the necessary requisites.
Communications for Drs. Fitch & Sykes
will be addressed to Pittsburgh.
We have entered upon the season of thun
der storms. Jupiter Tonans will reign until
the fall, and then become Jupiter Pinyin's ex
clusively. The following observations on
thunder storms, by a gentleman competent to
write upon the subject, aro timely and valu
able. His remarks upon the insulation of
lightning-rods will be now to most unscien
tific readers. It will be seen that to insulate
the rod is to render it nearly worthless ; yet,
as commonly constructed, insulation is the
desideratum. Ms remarks upon the storm of
Friday week are noteworthy, as also aro
those upon the precautions which should be
taken during a thunder storm :
The immediate cause of a thunder storm,
or rather of an atmospheric discharge of
e!ectricity, is the existence of opposite elec
trical conditions in contiguous clouds, or in
the clouds and the surface of the earth be•
neath them.
The primary cause is that combination of
circumstances whereby the electrical equili•
brium was originally destroyed.
Electricity is evolved in the course of almost
all the operations of nature, particularly in
the evaporation of water and condensation of
vapor. When these processes take place
slowly, the electrical disturbance is so slight
that the equilibrium appears to be gradually
restored as fast as it is disturbed without any
manifest effects. When, however, evapora
tion is rapid ur condensation sudden, the
quantity of the electric fluid evolved is cor•
respondingly enhanced, and the restoration of
the equilibrium is then accomplished by an
explosion, or discharge of electricity in an
intense state, from the body or mass of mat
ter containing the overplus to the body which
is deficient. This is what is popularly called
a flash of lightning, and thunder is noise by
which it is accompanied. The flash of light
is apparently produced by the sudden decom
position and ignition of inflammable matter
in the air, and thunder has been supposed
to be caused by the sudden production of a
vacuum in the line of the discharge, and the
consequent rush of surrounding air to fill it
up:
The most important characteristic of this
wonderful agent is its great elasticity, and its
tendency to diffuse itself through all bodies
or muse.. of matter in equal proportions, ac
cording to their natural capacity to hold it.—
When thus diffused it is said to tx3 in a state
of equilibrium, and in- this condition no elec•
trical effects are -eitiservable. But the equilib
rium is continually liable to be destroyed,
- from a great variety of causes, and it is then
that electrical phenomenon become visible.
The simple axiom that electricity tends to
an equilibrium, which is the essential feature
of the Franklinean theory, lies at the founda
tion of the science, anti seems to comprehend
all that is really known of it to this day.—
All other laws of electricity are modifications
of, or spring from, this, and the truth of this
axiom is practically admitted in all the vari
ous theories of electricity, which - have been
promulgated from time to time of late years.
It is to be observed that a body is said to be
positive or positively electrified, when it eon•
tains more than its natural share, and nega.
tive when it is deficient in electricity. When
a body contains its just proportion, it is said
to ho in a state of eqilibrium.
The equilibrium of the earth itself is fre
quently disturbed—that is, different portions
of the crust of the globe may acqtrtrit4:prO
portions of electricity with respect to each
other. If in such a erase the equilibrium
should be restored by a subterranean explo
sion, the mechanical effects would be very
similar to those of an earthquake. Winds
may be either positive or negative with res•
peat to a particular part of the earth's sur
face, or in other words, they may have either
more or less than their natural proportion of
the quantity of electricity existing in their vi
cinity.
It has been found by extensive and careful
observation, that in this section of the coun
try, at least, thunder clouds, just previous to
a rain, are deficient in electricity, or negative.
When the cloud is condensed into rain, it may
become positive, for the reason that the ca
pacity of water to contain electricity increases
and decreases with its volume. That is, a ton
of water in a state of equilibrium, upon be
ing converted into steam, would become more
negative, and a ton of steam or vapor, upon
being condensed into water, would become
positive.
An explosion Zor discharge of lightning
can never occur unless the two differently
electrified bodies are separated from each
other by an imperfectly:conducting medium.
A cloud cannot retain any great excess of
electricity when it is surrounded by air which
is sufficiently moist to be a good conductor,
because then the slightest excess passes off
freely by the air to other matter in the neigh
borhood, producing no visible effects.
When a cloud or other object is surround.
ed by matter which is a very poor conductor
of electricity, it is spoken of as being insula
ted. An electrified body, when insulated—as
for example, a positive cloud surrounded by
dry air—exerts a curious influence on other
bodies in its vicinity, inducing in the parts of
them nearest to itself au olecrical state con.
Crary to its own. This influence, which, is
called induction, we will attempt to describe,
by supposing the existence of two clouds, one
containing its natural share of electricity,
which we call neutral, and the other having an
excess, and consequently positive. So long
as the neutral cloud remains undisturbed, its
natural electricity, being attracted equally
in all directions, remains equally diffused
through it: but upon the approach of the
positive cloud, its electricity is released from
attraction in that direction, and in obedience
to the other attractive forces, which remain as
before, silently recedes from the part towards
the positive cloud, that end becoming negative
and the opposite end positive. The excess in
the positive cloud is attracted towards and
collects in the part nearest the neutral cloud,
and, as thc. , y approach each other; the collec
tion increases in density, and the neutral be
comes more and more rarified, until finally
the resistance of this intervening atmosphere
is overcome by an explosion from one cloud
to the other, and the equilibrium thus re•
stored.
MARY E. Brows
The positive end of the neutral cloud elec
trified by induction, as has been described,
exerts the same influence upon another neu
tral cloud, if there be one sufficiently near,
and so on according to the length of the time
that the induced state of activity exists, so that
the explosion may have to pass through sever
al clouds before an equal distribution is finally
effected.
This inductive influence is exerted at greater
or less distances according to the degree of
intensity with which the electrified body is
charged, or in other words according to the
extent of the disproportion of electricity in
the two bodies.
A negative cloud passing near the earth
induces the electricity to rush to the surface
of the earth nearest it, and the more elevated
objects upon the earth, such as trees or
houses, become most highly positive. For
this reason lightning rods should not be
insulated from the buildings to which they
are attached ; but on the contrary, inti
mately connected with them, so that induced
electricity in the building can pass out to the
rod, and from the points of the rod to the at
mosphere, and thence to the cloud. Enough
electricity may pass off silently in this way
to supply, in a measure, the deficiency of the
cloud, so that an explosion may be avoided.
A lightning rod of proper constructian,
therefore, is a sort of safety valve as regards
electricity—to insulate the rod is to tie down
the valve.
Thunder storms aro more frequent in sum
mer than in winter, probably because of more
sudden and extreme variations of tempera.
ture, and also because in hot weather evapo
ration is more rapid and extensive. In this
part of the country, thunder olouds generally
come from the west, which may indicate that
clouds formed by the evaporation of fresh
water acquire either more or /eats electricity
Thunder Storms.
than clouds formed over the ocean. These
storm clouds seem to move due easterly; but
very frequently, just as they reach tho city,
dart off either north or south of us, or divide,
one portion, passing to the south and the rest
to the north, and thus often vexatiously de
prive us of the expected refreshing shower.
This may be because the many high-pointed
objects about the city supply electricity in a
rectified state to the cloud, and thereby les
sen the attraction in one direction; or it may
bo that the column of heated air which rises
perpendicularly from the city, when the sur
rounding atmosphere is still, presents a
slight barrier to the onward progress of the
cloud, sufficient to turn it aside.
This is not always the case, and we are,
therefore, not always exempt from the effects
of a thunder storm in the city, it is character
istic or brought about by very peculiar cir
cumstances—and the storm of Friday after
noon, the 11th instant, was a case in point.
On that occasion there appeared to be two
distinct strata of clouds—the lower strata very
near the earth, and moving rapidly almost due
south, mobile the upper current of air was
from the northeast, or nearly at right angles
with the course of the upper clouds, but there
were several discharges which apparently
passed to the earth.
This storm occurred simultaneously . with a
sudden fall of temperature, and was preceded
by several unusually warm days. The tor
rents of rain that fell indicated very rapid
condension, to which cause we may ascribe
the powerful electrical disturbances which
manifested themselves in a frequent discharge
of lightning,
It is commonly thought that there is more
danger from lightning in the country than in
cities, but stati!:tics would seem to show a
greater number of accidents from lightning
in cities than in lo,!alities of corresponding
size in the country. About fifteen years since,
in a storm of two hours' duration, lightning,
struck in thirty dill' , :rent places in this city
and suburbs.
It is probaLle that upwards of fifty r.er;cos
rtre anually killed by lightning, in die lTnited
StitteP, unit it may lie truly t4alit that in most
eases these deaths are the

A great many persons are killed while ta

liable to ho struck,
,the human body is a b
ter conducter than the tree, and it is the,ro

sequent upon taking such shelter in a thun

In builklingP, the safest position js a horizon
tal one in the middle of a ro.nn, and care
should be taken that the body be not placed
between two good conductors, Euell as, for ex

in front of a mirror by a discharge of light

coating of the glass, thence down the body to

immediately beneath. Mr. Hatch, of Pough
keepsie, was killed while seated on a chair on
the piazza of his house with his head lean
ing back against the ball knob. Person have
been killed while standing at a door or
window during a thunder storm. A man
was killed in "West Newton, Massachusetts ,
some years ago, while sitting between a boil.
er inside a building, and a lightning rod upon
the onside, the discharge leaving the rod and
passing through his body on its way through
the building. It is proper to add, that this
lightning rod was insulated by glass fasten
ings, and that there is nu reason to doubt the
efficacy of lightning rods when they are eon
structedand applied on scientific priciplos.
Protecting buildings from lightning, however'
is something like prescribing for sick per
sons—the success of the prescription in eith
er case depending, under Providence, on the
degsee of knowledge, skill and ospozience pos
sessed by tgo physician.:
fin' divation of Fr cat
First. As to the soil. The sandy E.lll of New
Jersey, the clay soil of Penncylvania and the rieli
alluvial bottoms of the Western States, all pro
duce an abundance of the different variety of
fruit when proper attention is given to the trees.
The great point to be obtained is to have a dry
soil. Hit ispot sufficiently rich, tnoke it so. No
man should expect to halo line crops of anything
unless his soil is rich.
Second. Setting out trees. if the trees have
boon dry for several days and the roots have be
come dry, place them in water over eight previ
ous to setting them out. Prepare a compost of
the following: Take t4ree bushels of rich earth,
ohe do. night soil, two do. fine charcoal, two do.
slaked lime, one do of wood ashes, half do. of
ground salt—mix the above well together.
Third. Dig the holes 21 feet wide by two
feet deep, keeping the top-soil by itself, dl in a
portion of the bottom soil until nearly ready for
the tree, then put in one peck of the composit;on
and set in the tree, spreading out the roots to
their natural portion, and then fill in thelop soil,
shaking it gently two or three times.to settle the
earth around the roots. The tree should be set
the same depth in the orchard that it stood 'in
the nursery. Leave the ground a little hollowed
around the tree so as to catch and retain the
rain water. Put close around each tree one
shovelful of fine charcoal and do. of slaked lime.
With those precautions, neither peso)) nor any
other fruit trees will be infested with worms at
roots, provided they have suitable after-care.
Fourth. The distance they should be planted
apart is, twenty-eight feet one - way by thirty the
other, this may be thought by some to bo close,
but my object is to produce fruit frum young trees,
which is usually found to be of superior quality ;
and when they interfere with each other, out out
every other tree running north and south, this
gives the Bun the chance of shining upon them
and the fruit, as they will then stand thirty by
fifty-six feet apart, which is a good distance for
large trees. The soil around the trees should
be kept loose by digging or ploughing. If a crop
of any kind is put in the orchard, nothing should
be planted or sowed within five feet of the trees,
as the substance taken up by the crop is so much
taken from tho growth of the trees. After the
limo and charcoal has lain around the trees one
year, spread it about the trees - to the distance of
ten or twelve feet in diameter. This should be
done in the spring when the soil is cultivated,
and a Ira>h . supply of lime and charcoal applied.
When the trees have, t eon Bet out throe or four
years, the soil should be enriched with a com
post of manure, swamp•muck and ashes. Early
every spring the trunks of the trees should be
washed with thin soft soep. Take one gallon of
good soft soap and four gallons of water, and
mix it well together, and apply it with a white
wash brush as high Oa man can reach. This
will remove all the rough bark and make the
real bark as smooth as glass, and the trees will
grow very; fast indeed in consequence of the
bark being thin and elastic. As soon as the trees
blossom, throw over them a small portion of
of tee!i-.flaked lime. This should be done when
wet with rain or dew, so as to retain it upon the
blossom,
In my next I will give you a selection of the
best kind of fruit grown in the Uhited States, also
the time of ripening of each kind. w. D.

ted Pre2-ii.
The principal news agent who is employed by
the combined Associated Press of this country,
to furnish them with intelligence, being deeply
interested in the success of the Atlantic monop
oly, never omits an opportunity to make use of
the newspapers which employ him, to misrepre
sent the action of those who have been endeav
oring, and have successfully accomplished their
end, of directing the attention of our govern
ment to the grand scheme of plunder proposed
by that overshadowing monopoly. When the
matter was brought before Congress recently on
Mr. Kendeli's and Mr. Shaffner's memorials, and
the Judiciary Committee, in effect, declared
against granting the subsidy of $70,000 a
year, which our government had agreed to give
on certain conditions, the news agent at Wash
ington, or some person for him, acting doubtless
through instructions from the principal, -mis
represented the facts or stated them in such a
manner that the public were deceived by them.
The Ledger as ono of the Associated Press em
ploying these news agents, received this per
verted despatch, but knowing what the foots re
ally were, it made the Congressional despatch
correspond with them, and presented the true
statement in a reliable source: The news agent
at Washington subsequently sent to all the news
papers of the country a despatch abusive of the
Ledger, and charging it with misrepresenting the
action of the Judiciary Committee. This im
pudent attempt , to falsify facts has been met in
the right quarter by senator Bigler hbroself, who
introduced the bill in Congress to repeal the sub
sidy aot, and by Senator Green, the chairman
of the Judiciary Committee:—Ltiyer.
THE LATEST NE S
BY TELEGRAPH.
From 'Washington.
WASHINGTON . CITY, Julie 24.—The States, of
this evening, understands from a reliable source
that the President has determined to send an
armed force to Nicaragua, or at least to make
such naval display as will 'convince the govern
ments of England and France that our way to
our Pasifie possessions is not to be interfered
with, and adds that this intelligence may La de
pended upon.
Mr. Dallas, ib the course of his despatch, al
luded to a convention he had had with Lord
Malmesbury, to whom, following the spirit of his
instructions, he refused to make any conces
sions whatever in relation to visit or search,
and be was here about to end his letter and
close the report of the unfavorable issue of
the interview, when he was agreeably sur
prised with a sudden change in the affairs.
Lord Alalmsbury himself, at the request of Mr.
Dallas, wrote the minutes of another conversa
tion in which he fully accepted the doctrines in
the Cass letter of the 10th of April, as Bound
international law, and in no - way conflicting with
the treaty of 1842.

Afternoon Telegraph Report.
From ViTaz:litugton.
WAICIIINNTON CITY, Jane 24 —Mr. Robles, the
Mexican Minister, authorizes a moat emphatic
denial of the recently published statement of
the sale or cession of a large portion of Sonora.
A private letter from Gov. Cumming lays
much stress upon the importance of the Mor
mons being induced to return to their homes
and employment. Ho is opposed to their going
to Sonora, and confirms the statement heretofore
made, that they are divided into peace and war
.s.rties, and thinks it the duty and policy of the
overnment to support the former and break
down the latter. He speaks of Brigham Young
as a man of groat perseverance, intellect and
experience ; and withal vested with authority to
announce the terrors awarded to those who sin
against the Holy Ghost. There is a division in
their ranks and all fear him, while many hate
him because of the paoifio measures with which
ho is charged. Gov. Cumming plainly says that
his chief hope for control over the Mormons is
exerted through Young. if anything should
happen to thwart his efforts to avert the perils
of a collision between the army and the Mor
mons, the country may expect a guerilla war of
several year's duration, at the expense of many
millions of dollar', while the war would be vis
ited upon those least deserving of its terrors.
