i Is Trouble. Was ever a President so un
fortunate as James Buchanan J Troubles arc
dairy thickening around him, and we wouldn't
bo surprised . to hear of him doiug something
desperate. The result of the recent elections
in Kansas, the perversity of the people of that
nniortunate Territory, anu ?o rc.u,..Hv.c '
. .. .. ii i !.;
' friends in Congress to sacrifice themselves
fnr I
bis sake, distresses him much. "A dispatch
from Washington says, on 'Thursday he shut
. himself up and would see nobody, and it was
supposed that . he was writing a message on
. Kansas affairs. '- '
The Mobmos War. The troubles with the
Mormons in Utah, it seems, have wakened up
the Administration to a determination to car
ry on the war. as actively as possible. Gen.
Scott is to sail this week for California, with
full powers from Government to organize in
that State an army for tV.e invasion of Utah,
If the news from Salt Lake City, on his arri
val in California, are such as to warrant the
prosecution of hostilities. I: is probable the
Army will be conducted up the Colorado Eiv-
cr, which is believed to bo navigable for 300
miles above its junction with the. Gila, and in
the exact direction of Utah. Gen. Scott ex
pects to reach Salt Lake in June, simultane
ously with Col. Johnston.
Kassas. Returns of the elections held in
Kansas on the 21st Dec. and on the 4th Janua-
" ry, have been received. They aro published
" under the signatures of Gov. Denver and the
presiding cfiicers of the Territorial Legisla-
ture. ' The vote on the Lecompton Constitu-
' tion on the 21st December stands: 'with sla
very" C:143, '-without slavery" oGD. Of these
' votes. S5C2 are said to have been polled in
precincts containing not over 1CC0 inhabitants.
It should be remembered that only a fraction
ot the Free State party voted on the l:h Jan
uary, yet, it seems, they succeeded in electing
all their candidates by an average majority ol
415. The Senate stands 13 Free State men to
6 Democrats, and the nouse 29 Free State
mea to 15 Democrats. The majority against
. the Constitution on the 4th of January was
10,225- all the fraudulent retcrnj from Kicka-
' ro, Shawnee, Oxford, &e., counted in. The
Territorial Legislature has provided a com
mission to examine .into the election frauds,
and will provide for another Constitutioa.il
- Convention.;- The Topefca Legislature, accor-
ding to a correspondent cf the St. Lonis Dn-
ecral, will enact a code cf laws to be used in
case of emergency, but in no wise to conflict
with the Territorial authority.
' Dissolution rTHE Usios. An opinion pre-
rails among well-informed men that a deter
mination has for years existed, and stiil exists
. among' the Southern fire-eaters to sever the
Union, and Hhat the most systematic efforts
" have been made to accomplish their object.
The Legislature of Alabama have unanimous
ly instructed the Governor, in case Congress
refuses to admit Kansas under the Lecompton
' Constitution, to call a State Convention to de
termine upon measures of redress ; the same
bod v having some weeks since resolved that
ench action on the part of Congress would .be
. good cause for dissolving tho Union. This
looks like a preliminary movement, to bo fol-
lowed in other Southern States, for dragoon
ing Congress into adopting the Lecompton
Constitution, or, in the event of a failure in
- that case, to prepare the way for an actual dis
ruption of the Confederacy. The Washington
' City Republic says : "There are men who go to
the Capitol every day, and take their seats in
the Senate and House, who scarcely affect te
' conceal their treasonable hostility to the Gov
; ernmcnt under which they live. If the Lc
', compton Constitution is rejected t they will do
their best to induce a general Withdrawal trom
Congress of 'the Southern members. We be
lieve that they will ignominiously fail, but that
. they will make the attempt, is certain. In the
. meantime net a moment should be lost in a
rousing the country to the true state of affairs,
i nd in concentrating such expressions of pub-
. lie opinion as will prevent the legislation of
: Congress fiom being controlled ly Southern
' Lbullying. We have had enongh of it. It has
become intolerable. The Free States have
.suffered too much .humiliation already. The
Bobadils of Alabama, and kindred spirits else
wherejinustbe taught a lesson.. Now.orcever!"

The Europa arriveU at New York on the

were growing easier, and there continued to
be an influx of gold into the Bank of England,

in Glasgow. In the. Manchester mills, there

and men holding respectable positions there
are said to be compromised. At the same
time the losses and sr.flerings of the troops,
now wintering in the mountains, arc even
worse than has been reported. Col. Cook lost
half of his horses aud . a number of mules,
and a further advance by .him towards Salt

p'y of such animals, to procure ' which Captw
Marcy has been dispatched to New Jiexico.

Goversor'sMaxsiox. The HarrisbnrgTcI-
eercph states that the Joint Committee of both
Houses, the Secretary of the Commonwealth,
Stafe Treasurer, and Auditor Genera!, have
made an agreement with Mr. Worrell for the
purchase of the "Griffith property" on the
river bank, as a residence for the Governor ;
the price to be paid is'tcn thousand dollars for
the property, and one hundred for the gas fix--
tures. The agreement has to be ratified by
bcth Houses before it can be made binding,
but there is no doubt of its raliQcalion, ar.d
Governor Packer will reside in that locality;
At the recent term cf the Circuit Court cf
Tazewell, Tonn., a fellow was arraigned tor
stealing a raw hide. Ho alleged that he had
purchased it from a negro. The attorney for
the Commonwealth admitted his statement
and he was acquitted,' but was immediately
indicted for trading with a negro. Thereupon
the accused introduced two witnesses to prove
that he had stolen the hide, when he was of
course discharged ; and having . already been
tried for stealing, he could not be tried the
second time for tho same offence, and was
turned loose unpunished. Such is tho perfec
tion of human wisdom.

The Czar's Stables. The cavalry stables
of the Emperor of Kussia are the wonder ana

mission to them. The enclosure of stone
walls and iron frames cover an area of ten
miles i:i length by five in width. The stalls

A Good Ose. A few d ys since, a rongh,
country looking lellow entered one of the
New York Banks, and marching up to the
counter, exclaimed, '-Here 1 am, I want you
to take a fair look at me." Without a word
further he strode ont. The next day the same
customer appeared, uttered the same words,
and again disappeared. The third day, at
about the same time, ne waited in, and ad
vancing to the teller's desk, threw down a
draft payable three days after sight. "Now,"
said he, "you've seen me three times, I wnt
the money for it ! "

yers to set us by the ears ; lorty thousand
doctors to kiIlor cure," and fifteen hundred
editors to keep this motley mass in order by
the po ver of public opinion controlled and
manufactured through the press.

and fraud. This act, of itself, speaks well for
the man, and is an encouraging bign that he is
not as guilty as he has been represented.

Specie in New Obleaxs. The Banks of
