S. B. BOW. EDITOR AND PROrRlETOR.
CLEARFIELD, PA., JUNE 8, 1850.
The President axd the Mormons. The
Judges of the second district of Utah having
addressed a joint letter to the Administration
at Washington, on the subject of the military
force with which the Court lor that district
was attended during the term recently held at
Provo City, Attorney General Clack, under
the instructions of the President, made a re
ply a few days since. He says it is very prob
able that the Mormons hare been guilty of
crimes lor which they deserve the severest
punishment, and that it is not intended by the
government to let any one escape, against
whom the proper proofs can be produced.
With that view the District Attorney has been
instructed to use all possible diligence in
bringing criminals of every class and of all
degrees to justice. The usual and established
modes of dealing with public oflendcrs mnst
be exhausted before any others are adopted.
Ou the whole, the President is very decidedly
of the opinion, first, that the Governor of the
Territory alone has power to issue a requisi
tion upon the commanding General for the
whole or part of the army ; second, that there
was no apparent occasion for the presence of
the troops at Provo ; third, that if a rescue of
the prisoners in custody had been attempted,
it was the duty of the Marshal, and not ot the
Judge, to summon the force which might be
necessary to prevent it ; fourth, that the troops
ought not to have been sent to Provo without
the concurrence of the Governor, nor kept
there against his remonstrance ; fifth, that the
disregard of these principles and rules of ac
tion has been in many ways extremely unfor
tunate. It remains to be seen whether the
President will carry the determinations, thus
expressed, into effect.
The IIakmoxius Democract. We learn from
the New York papers that the different wings
of the Democratic party have been seeking to
harmonize, preparatory to the State and Pres
idential elections of 1860. Letters have been
written, circulars distributed, and the leaders
from the various portions of the State met at
the Astor House one day last week. Notwith
standing the efforts of those who have hereto
fore led on the Democratic legions from vic
tory to victory, the utmost confusion prevailed
in their councils, and disaster and defeat
seemed to be the result of the consultations.
In every portion of the country, disintegra
tion and demoralization mark the history of
this once powerful party, and it requires 110
soothsayer to foretell, that if ordinary pru
dence and sagacity shall inflaence the Oppo
sition, the next Presidential battle will, be
easily gained.
Heavy Damages. A Miss Carstrang sued at
St. Louis, Mo., an old codger named Shaw,
for breach of marriage promise, and on tho 2d
inst. the jury returned a verdict for the plain
tiff, and assessed the damages at $100,000, the
" full amount claimed. The defendant, who is
said to bo very wealthy, is CO years of age
The plaintiff, who has numbered only 30 win
ters, is painted in rose-cIers by the Western
journals. An appeal is taken, and a new trial
will probably be ordered.
"All the Year Round." We are in regu
lar receipt of this new publication of Dicken?.
The articles are creditable to its distinguished
editor, and the authors who assist him. The
periodical 13 published weekly at 52,50 a year,
by J. M. Emerson & Co., 37 Park Row, X. Y.,
who deserve to be liberally patronized lor the
spirit and enterprize they exhibit in getting
out this work simultaneously with its appear
ance in London.
The Frost. We have accounts from va
rious sections, which indicate that the severe
. frost on Saturday night extended over a large
district of country. Reports from bevcral
points in Pennsylvania, N"ew York, Ohio, and
Western Virginia, state that the frost had done
much injury to the growing crops, fruit, &c.
It is to be hoped, however, that the damage
is cot so great as many suppose. ,
Mormonisni is disgustingly shocking indeed.
We see it stated that in searching be house
of Bishop Johnson, charged with murder, at
Salt Lake, Utah, the United States officials
were not able to discover the Bishop,bnt fonnd
therein his ten wives. Four of these wives
are sisters, the Bishop's own neices, and he
has, besides these, two sisters out of one fam
ily, and also a mother and her daughter !
On Tuesday night, May 17th, a fire broke
out in a tavern, at Richmond, Jefferson Co.,
Ohio, kept by Joseph Cameron, Esq. The
house was destroyed, and, horrible to relate,
Mrs. Cameron and her son, aged-20, perished
in the flames! The mother had escaped, but
rushed back to rescue her boy, who was weak
minded, and both died-together.
The Lock Haven Watchman has put on a
new dres3. It is now one of the neatest sheets
in the State, and as Dunham prints a spicy
"paper, the people of Clinton should support
hiia liberally.;
The lion. N. B. Browne lias been appoint
ed Postmaster at Philadelphia, in place of
Mr. Wcsteott, the late incumbent.
We notice by the York papers that several
mad dogs have been killed in that place, with.
in the past week.
IMPORTANT FE0M EUROPE.
St. Jouss, N. B.,Jcxe4. The steamship
City of Washington, left Liverpool on the
25th ult. bound to New York, has been inter
cepted by the News Reporters. Her news is
of great importance, as announcing the first
important blow in Italy. Tho Allied and Aus
trian forces have met and the latter have been
defeated.
The battle between the Austrians and the
allies took place at Montcbello, a town of
Austrian Italy. The Austrians were 13,000
strong and made the attack ; after a severe
engagement, they were oblidgcd to retreat.
Tho allied army lost 700, while the Austrian
loss is estimated at 2,000. A number of Aus
trians had been captured and taken prisoners
toMarsailles.
There are two towns of Montcbello in Italy,
as described in the Gazetteers. The dispatch
docs not give the position of the one at which
this battle took place. One of the Montebel
lo's is a town of Austrian 'Italy, ten miles S.
W. of Vienna, and is defended by two castles,
and the other is a village 23 miles E. N. E. of
Allcssandria,where the Austrians were defeat
ed by the French in 1S12. It would seem
that the post was occupied by Marshal
D'Hilliers, of the French army. By tho pre
vious accounts.this General was posted on the
main road from Novi to Genoa. The first
named Montobello was therefore the place
where the battle occurred.
The battle of Montebcllo, took place on the
21st of May. The Austrians, who were com
manded by General Stadion, attacked the
post of Marshal Baraguay D'Hilliers. They
were driven back by Gen. Forcy's divisions,
after a furious combat which lasted four hours
The allies carried Montebcllo, but did not
pursue tho Austrians. Two hundred of the
Austrians, including the Colonel, were cap
tu red and taken to Marsailles.
The Austrian' account of the battle differs
widely from the above. The actual force of
the French is not stated. It is reported, how
ever, that it numbered six thousand men, be
sides a regiment of Sardinan cavalry.
A bulletin, issued by the Sardinian govern
mcnt, announces that tho extreme left of the
Sardinian army under Gen.Baldini had forced
a passage over tho river Sesia, putting the
Austrians to flight.
Gen. Garibaldi had entered Gavcn Pavia
with six thousand men for a revolutionary
purpose. -
It was rumored that six English men-of-war
had entered the Adriatic sea.
Revolutionary movements are reported in
Lombardy. The King of Naples is dead, and
Francis II. has assumed the government of
Naples.
WHAT ABOUT PIKE'S PEAK.
Editorial correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune.
Leaveswortu, Kansas, May, 22, 18-30. I
am here in the very focus of the Gold-at-Pike's-Pcak
excitement. Of the great cele
bration yesterday in honor of the arrival of
the first return stages from Cherry Creek, you
will have had tidings before this reaches you,
probably; also of tho suppers eaten on that
account, if not the consequent head aches this
morning. Let me briefly sum up the conclu
sions I havo drawn from all the information I
can gather here, viz :
1. There is gold at Pike's Peak.
2. Very little has yet been dug. "
3. A considerable though very inadequate
amount of prospecting bad been done up to
the 10th inst., which is the date of our latest
advices. ,
4. A great deal more will soon be done, ns
the snow only legins to be fairly melted out
of the gorges of the Rocky Mountains, where
the rich mines or placers must, be found, if
anywhere.
5. 'As yet this prospecting has not yielded
enough to pay the board of those employed
in it.
0. Yet a few who have had extra luck,
would seem to have dono pretty well, and
some of them (unless they lie outrageously)
are now mating -j to 5b per day to the hand.
ine ooara 01 a ruggea, hard working minor
in that region ought to cost $2 per day.
7. It is not known to this hour that any ex
tensive placer has been found, and nearly ev
ery miner is still prospecting for better dig
gings. 8. Hundreds of those who rush madly off on
a gold hunt across five hundred miles of unin
habited foodless country, inFebruary orMaich,
have either died outright of starvation, or
nave suUerecl and been tarnished to the last
limit of mortal endurance. And all who have
started in their tracks with but a few days'
provisions and scarcely any other resource but
the clothes on their back have probably suf
fered, or will suffer, everything short of death,
and some of them will probably die.
t. There is as much uncertainty and dis
trust in tho Gold Region as here, and many
who have reached Denver City or Auraiia
have turned back in disgust, which others
would do if they could do it with safety.
10. Many who had gone part of the way
have been discouraged by the reports of those
they met, and arc heading towards the States
again.
11. There is no demand fcr labor in any part
of the alleged Gold Regions, and many are
there idle, who would gladly be hired and set
to work. -
12. It is not yet decided whether any con
siderable amount of gold can be mined with
profit in the new Gold Region. Months more
of patient and well directed labor may be re
quired to settle that point.
13. As yet, less than 510,000 in all, has
been received on this frontier in' gold, the
product of the Pike's Peak region.
14. It is highly desirable and proper that
the capacity of the new Gold Region should
be tested and ascertained. Those who arc
rationally employed in this work deserve well
or the country. But there are people enough
now in or near the new Gold Region for all
reasonable purposes far too many for the a
mount of food that now is or can soon be
placed there.
.15. It is not merely follyit is criminal
madness to rush oil to Pike's Peak Gold
Hunting without ample provision in the shape
of food, clothing, blankets, mining imple
ments, and money. He who goes without,
rushes on a suicide's fate.
Such is the substance of all I can learn from
the vicinity of Pike's Peak. I leave for that
region on Tuesday. . u.c.
On the 17th ult., the dwelling of A. W.
Parker in Giles comfy, Tcnn., was destroyed
by fire, and three of his daughters one aged
between 15 and 16 years, another between 12
and 13 years, and the youngest aged about 7
years perished in the flames. - The' oldest
and the youngest were entirely consumed, and
the other was rescued from -the flames by tho
father, though so badly burned that she died
in about 28 hours.
PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS.
PREPARED FOR THE "RAPTSMAN'S JOURNAL."
Camdria Covstt. A desperate character
named Samuel McCullough, who shot Patrick
Nevins' horse last summer, and who is now
in the Ebensburg jail for threatening to take
the life of George Fisher, a couple Sundays
since made three attempts to burn the prison.
. . . Thomas Sharp, a well-known citizen of
Conemaiigh Borough, died suddenly during
the night of the 28th ult., of appoplexy. . . .
A young woman of Johnstown, a few days
since left her lather's house for Pittsburgh, in
company with some disreputable character,
taking with her $75 and a fine silk dress be
longing to her sister. , To save her from a life
of shame, her friends had her arrested at E
lizabethtown on the 28th, !and brought 'her
home a wiser girl than when she left. ... A
citizen of Johnstown, ascertaining that his
married sister in Baltimore was treated badly
by her husband, went there recently and in
duced her to accompany him home. In a
few days tho deserted husband followed, kick
ed up a fight, and was arrested for assault and
battery. Jlewas released on ; bail, when his
brother-in-law had him again arrested on a
charge of surety of the peace. Soon after
his second arrest the unfortunate husband was
provided by some friend with a suit of female
clothes, in which he arrayed himself, and
walked oft'. Information of bis escape being
conveyed to the interested parties, an officer
was sent in pursuit, and over took him at the
Feeder Dam, about a mile south of town, just
as he was divesting himselt ot his feminine
trappings. He was then brought back and
conveyed to th Ebensburgh jail, and here the
matter rests fot the present. The names of
the parties are "not given by the JoliDstown
Tribune, from which we gather these items.
Lancaster County. Martin Smith, resi
ding in Ncwtown,conimitted suicide by hang
ing himself in a stable. He was about fifty
five years of age, and it is supposed ho was
impelled to the rash act by being troubled in
mind about money matters. ... During the
prevalence of tire storm on Friday evening the
2Sth, we learn that tho house occupied by a
family named Miller, on Lngle's larm near
Bainbridge, was struck by lightning and Mr
Miller instantly killed while two of the female
occupants of the house were struck insensible
by the lorce of the shock, but were again re
stored. It appears that Mr. M. had gone to
the second story of the house to closo a win
dow, and while at the window, and probably
looking out, as his body was found reclining
upon it the liwuse was struck and he killed.
Centre Couxtt. A fire occurred on the
2Sth ult., in Bellefontc, which destroyed the
wash house, situated close to the residence of
Hon. James Burnside. Had it not been for
tiniely assistance a vary disasterous conflagra
tion might have ensued. . . . Tn o Horses were
stolen from the stable of John Irwin, Jr., &
Co., at the Howard Iron Works, on tho 28th
n!t. The thief carried of! two Blind Bridles,
two Halters and Chains, and one W agon Sad
die. A reward of one hundred dollars is offer
ed for the recovery of the horses and the ar
rest and conviction of the theif. ... A loco
motive for the Snow Shoe Railroad was bro't
to Belief onte on the 27th. This "distinguish
ed arrival" produced quite a sensation.
, Clarion County. Week before last, dur
ing the prevalence of a storm, the barn of
Mr. nugh Maguire was unroofed, another barn
on an adjoining farm was blown down, and a
large amount of timber destroyed; the barn
ot Air. Isaac Clover, in jstrattonviiie, was
struck by lightning, and a horse of Thomas
R. Patton, of Greenville,, killed, one of Mr
Baum's severely injured. . .On the evening De-
rious & Rivers' show exhibited in Clarion, the
money till of the store of David Myers.was open
ed and twenty-five dollars taken therefrom.
An individual suspected was arrested but
no money was found about him.
Butler County. A young -son of David
Taylor,' of Oakland township, was seriously
injured by the accidental discharge of a revol
ver pistol. Two of the barrels had been load
ed, and one of them had been discharged by
the lad, and when blowing in the muzzle the
other charge exploded, tearing his upper jaw
and lace in a horrible manner. JUs lite is
despaired of, and should he recover, he will
be maimed for life.
Schuylkill Oouxtx. During the severe
thunder storm of Thursday, and at the height
of the storm, a vivid flash of lightning and a
deafening peal of thunder, so alarmed the
wile of Mr. George W. Potts, residing in
Market street, Pottsville,while standing at the
door, that it induced a fatal attack of heart
disease. She fell back and died in a few mo
ments.
JiuNTXvcnoN county. An interesting son
of Rev. Wm.Cnllom of Huntingdon Borough,
aged about Syears, 1 ell into the canal a few days
since and was drowned. The body was recov
ed and interred. . . . The amount of Broad
Top Coal shipped at Huntingdon this year up
to May lb, is 44,. el: tons an increase of 23.
558 tons on last year's shipment to same date.
Lycoming County. On the 27th Mav,
little daughter of Mr. David Reed, at Phelps'
Mills, aged about thrco years, was scalded so
badly that she died the next morning. Mrs.
Reed was preparing to do some washing, and
had poured some boiling water into a tub,
when the child accidentally fell into it, and be
fore she could bo rescued was fatally injured
Armstrong County. The dwelling house
of Archibald Glenn, Esq., of Red bank town
ship, was totally destroyed by fire on Wednes
day last. Ihe building being of frame, burnt
with such rapidity that little or none of its
contents were saved. The fire originated from
the kitcken stove pipe. Loss about 51,500
no insurance.
Columbia County. During a recent thunder
storm the barn of 1 redenck Hagenbuch of
Centre township, was struck by lightning and
consumed. Several hundred bushels of corn
and oats were destroyed with it. The proper
ty was not insured-
Luzerne County. A fire occurred at Wil-
kesbarre, on the 31st May, by which some
eighteen or twenty buildings were destroyed,
involving a loss ot 10,000.
Ltah. We have later news from Utah,
which shows how Buchanan has "restored
peace and order" in that territory. At tho
final adjournment of the United States Court,
Judge Cradlebaugh had caused an entry to be
made on tho Court records to the effect that
the interference of the Mormons with the
course of justice had rendered the adminis
tration of justice impossible, and that the
Court, in consequence thereof, was adjourned
sine die. A number of important affidavits
had been made setting forth the facts of recent
Mormon outrages. A collision between the
United States troops and the militia of tho
Territory was expected at last advices. Tho
Governor was determined to oppose tho en
trance of the troops into the citv. The object
of bringing tho troops to tho city is to arrest
parties charged with crime. Gov. Cumming
contends that the civil, and not. thn miliiarv.
power should bo used for tho purpose ; and he
is said to have a strong militia force ready t
oppose the entrance of tho troops.
IF
f
Virginia. The result of the election , in
Virginia takes tho Democracy by surprise,
who had counted upon an easy victory and.
their usual majority. The fact demonstrates
conclusively that tho progress of demoraliza
tion has reached even the party strongholds,
and undermined the very citadel of its power.
1 f so much can bo achieved in the Old Domin
ion, against the prestige of established and
unbroSen ascendency,- and under the most un
toward circumstances for the Opposition, what
may not be expected elsewhere? Had Mr.
Goggin conducted his canvass upon the prop
er principle, of opposing the extravagances
and corruptions introduced into the adminis
trations of the government during the last
two years, of condemning the abuses and out
rages which had received the highest sanction
at Washington, and in urging the necessity
for a change of men and jolicy,-he might
have succeeded. At least ho would have de
served success. In dwarfing the contest down
to a personal controversy with his opponent,
about old opinions and little votes in Congress,
he deprived it of a moral force which render
ed the country indifferent to the result, since
the event itself thus became divested' of all
national consequence nov,or any bearing upon
the Presidential election next year.
