Utah affairs occupied the attention of the Cabi
net on the 12th inst. The arrival of Hon. Philip
Frank Thomas, who had been designated for the
Governorship, was daily expected.
la the event of his non•acceptanee, the indica
tions are that Colonel Cummings, who having
once declined, and is now an applicant, will be
appointed.
It is not improbable that an entirely new set of
officers in the Territory will be sent, the Surveyor
General included ; the three Judges will be ap
pointed from the West and North-West, and the
Mar§bal from Mississippi.
Several days will elapse before answers are re
ceived from those to whom these appointments
are tendered. The corps of officers will travel to
Utah with the military forces.
The Postmaster General has concluded a con-•
tract for carrying the mails between San Fran

Gen Walker and staff arnved in Washington on
the 12th of June. He denies that his object in
coming to Washington is to see the President,
and says his business is especially in New York.
Capt. Fayssonx, one of Gen. Walker's staff, who
was a midshipman in the Texan navy, applied at
the Navy . Department for his allowance of Uncle
Sam's cash ; but the draft was not honored, as
be was never commissioned, and the law includes
only " officers holding regular commissions."
The Russian government has signified its rcadi
noes to act in concert with the British government
in China in all matters .except the quarrel with
Canton. The offer has been accepted.
The Minnesota has been ordered to sail on the
26th inst., as Mr. Tommy now considers it impor
tent to make an early demonstration before Can
ton. The Watertoitch• bad arrived with the
crew and guns forthe Plymouth.
The statement that the Glib:Lobe Islands are to
be placed under the protectorate of England and
France, is untrue, as England has disavowed the
treaty made in its name.
The War Department learns that there are but
one horidred and fifty Seminole warriors under
Billy Bowlegs in Florida, opposed to 'whom we
have a regiment of men.'
The Navy Department decides that Gen. Hous
ton had no power to dismiss Com. Moore from the
Texas Navy, and allows him his pay under the
act of Congress.
Sr. Lours, June 11.—Major Sedgwiok, with
two squadrons of cavalry, left Fort Leavenworth on
the 18th ult. Col Sumner and one squadron left •
on the 20th nit. One squadron will join Sumner
at Fort Kearney, and three companies of in
fantry at Laramie. Col. Sumner goes out - against
the Cheyennes and other hostile Indians, who are
united at Sedgwiok, Bent's Fort in Cheyenne
County.
Juan 15.—The Democrat learns that the Free
State Legislature met at Topeka on the 9th, but
there was no quorum. On the 10th the Legisla
ture went into secret session, to discuss the pro- ,
priety of immediately organizing and putting - into
operation the new government. On the 11th, the
Senate elected W. A. Philips, U. S. Senator in
place of Lane.. The Legislature almost nnani
mously sustain the Convention.
Jim 16.—The Convention met at TOpeka, on '
the 9th, Gen. Lane presiding. A resolution was
adopted disowning the Territorial government,
and declaring admission into the Union under the
Topeka Constitution the only method of adjusting
the difficulties, and pledging to pursue the appli
cation pending before Congress ; believing the
measure so just and accordant with the principles
of the past legislation of the country, that it
must eventually be conceded, and that it is the
duty of the Legislature to complete the State or
ganization. Other resolutions, recommending the
Free State party to disregard the approaching
election, and casting suspicion on any man who
consents :to become a candidate for the Constitu
tional Convention, were passed. The Convention
then adjourned.
Adviees received from Liberia to the sth of May,
state that the difficulties at °ape Palmas with the.
natives, have been settled.
There had been a scarcity of food, but the new
crops were promising.
The expenses of the war had somewhat de
ranged the national finances, and the government
had been unable to meet its bills. So strong, how
ever, was the confidence of the citizens - in their
currency, that the bills could not be bought at
any discount, but were in general circulation.
There was a temporary scarcity of food, owing
partly to the drought. The Presidential election
was held on the sth ult. The present incumbent,
Mr. Benson, was to receive the vote of all for
the Presidency, but the " True Liberians," sup
ported Col. B. P. Yates for the Vice Presidency,
while the "whips," had nominated Gen. Lewis.
These parties differ mainly in their foreign pol
icy, the wbigs being less liberal toward those
whose governments have no treaties with Liberia.
They had passed a bill forbidding trade by the
citizens of such nations, except through brokers.
This operates against Americans, and though
merely a matter of five per cent. commission, is a
retaliation upon us for not having reoognized the
republic. It was not; however, a popular meas
ure, many or the wisest not approving of it, among
whoin is Ex President Roberts; and the general
impression was that it would be repealed at the
next. session of the Legislature. Favorable ac
counts had been received from the new settlement
of Rev. Mr. Seys, and also from Rdbeitsport.
Cape Palmas bad been admitted as a County of
the republic.
Deficit in the Treasury of Ohio.
ThE CM Mk
Cox:mans, June 17.--W. H.' Gibson, Treasu
rer of the State, resigned his •6ce to-day, and
the Governor has appointed A. P. Stone. of this
city, to fill the vacancy. A deficit of $500,000
has been discovered in the Treasury, which Gib
son says existed when he.came into office, caused
by the defoloatton of John G. Breslin, the former
Treasurer. The Governor has appointed William
Dennison, in conjunotion with the Auditor, to
make a full examination of the. condition of the
treasury. Notwithstanding this deficit, the July
interest will be paid.
The Mexican papers confirm, to the fullest ex

their hands. The , Supreme Court of Mexico sus
tains the decision of the Congress, of Arbitration,
in the celebrated Barron case, in favor of Ex-
Governor DeGonad°. The Trait d' Union men
tions the rumor that an English squadron would
soon make its appearance on the coast to support
that claim.
TOR Szasoa.—From all parts of the country
we hear of the extraordinary backwardness and
coldness of the season, and in some parts there
are serious fears that the budding fruit trees are
seriously injured. Another such a year of scarci.
Ey of fruit as we had last year would be a great
calamity to the country. The season is • back
ward in this latitude, and the weather MOO unge

and the cry of strawberries is- not yet heard in
Our streets, but we are not aware of any serious
damage having been rendered to the tender crops
by the unseasonable weather.—N. Y. Time,.

A man named Jrfferson Randall, who bad re
turned to Rockingham County, Virginia, after be
ing sent away for burning barns and plundering
farmhouses, returned and was seized on Tuesday,
by a Vigilance Committee, and hung on a tree.
His son-in-law was also arrested and doomed to
be hung.
A Correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette says
be has watched the crops for forty years, and
thinks that in Ohio, Indiana; Illinois, and Ken
tucky, there will be a larger crop of wheat har
vested the coming season than ever before.
Sir George Gore and party, who have returned
to St. Louis from a hunting expedition on the
head waters of the Missouri, report the Sioux.

A careful estimate, based on the latest returns
of the local assessors, makes the population of
California 507,067, of whom 332,880 are Ameri
cans, 66,000 Indians, 88,687 Chinese, 16,000
French, 16,000 Mexicans, 10,000 Germans, 10,-
000 Irish, 2,000 English, and 16,000 other for
eigners, besides 4,000 colored persons. The items
of this calculation are authentic.
TRU SUGAR CROP.--The N. Y. Time! says :
" The prospects for a full crop aro highly en
couraging. The high prices which have ruled
the past two years have stimulated
. production,
while they have caused a diminution of consump
tion, and the natural consequences are increas
ing stocks and a tendency to lower prices. Be
sides, the crop of Louisiana promises to be nearly
four times greater than it was last year, and the
yield of maple sugar has been much larger than
was ever before known."
SOAROITY IN low&—The Kansas Herald of
Freedom, of June 1, says:
4, A gentleman, directly from . Southern lowa,
informs ns that there is actual suffering in that
country, because of the great scarcity of provis
ions. Last season there was but about a one-third
crop of wheat and corn ; and this scarcity, to-'
gather with the backward Spring, has placed them
at starvation prices at the present time. Our in
formant paid four dollars a bushel for corn, and
found it exceedingly difficult to get it at that
price. Cattle are dying of starvation, and the
state of affairs is truly disheartening."
New South Wales, according to the census

A writer in the New York Journal of Commerce
revives the poison theory in relation to the Na
tional Hotel sickness, by saying that a victim of
the sickness, after one or two recoveries, and as
many relapses, was induced to , try, the electro

plates showed a heavy deposit of arsenic.

The British frigate Satellite, sailed from Callao
for Vancouver's Island, her commander having
been commissioned, by the English government,
to settle, in conjunction with the U. S. Commis

Lima is improving rapidly.
. The affairs of the other South American States
are generally tranquil.
The Panama Star expresses strong fears that,
Gan. Walker, in conformity with threats made
by him after his capitulation, will return with
another army of Filibusters to the Isthmus,
and regrets that Gen. Mora did not bind • hinv
and his officers, in the terms of the capitula
tion, never again to put their foot in Central .
America.
The news from California is not of general
importance. The papers give details of the
massacre of Col. Crabb and his party which
seems to have been attended by incidents of un
usual cruelty. Crabb himself was led out alone,
tied with his arms above his bead to a post and
there riddled with a hundred bullets. The ex
citement in California over this massacre seems
to be intense, and it is feared that some general
plan of revenge against the Mexicans will be
adopted.
The mines were yielding largely. , Business

IRON CITY COMMERCIAL COLLEGE. PITTSBURGH,
PA.—The rapid growth, and great popularity of
this institution, cannot ho accounted for upon
any other ground than that of its real value
to students in obtaining a complete business edu
cation. Book-Keeping, in all its departments,
from the smallest retail business up to banking,
Railroading and Steamboating, is taught in the
nio.t thorough and practical manner. So also
with arithmetic, as applied to all commercial cal
culations; and as to penmanship in all its varie
ties, from the plain practical hand to the most
ornate and showy, it probably has no equal. For
further information, write to the Principal, F. W.

An interesting discussion had taken place in
the House of Commons with reference to the non
ratification of the Dallas-Clarendon Treaty.
In the. House of Commons, on the 28th ult., Mr.
Roebuck called attention to the subject of British
relations with Brazil, andmoved for a Select Com
mittee, to take into consideration thoin relations
and report thereupon. He urged that the Gov
ernment of Brazil had acted in good faith in en
deavoring to extinguish the Slave-trade, that their•
endeavors had been entirely succesqul,,,and that
the steps taken by Great Britain, through her
ships on the Brazilian coast, were highly offensive
to the Brazilian Governnient, and extremely pre
•udicial to Brazilian commerce.
Lord Palmerston opposed the motion as being
entirely unnecessary, asserting that Mr. Roebuck
had . made, exaggerated statements, that the
British cruisers bad only acted'as they were bound
to do for the prevention of the slave-trade, and
that no improper interference. had taken_place
with the legitimate commerce of Brazil, and that
the success of the motion would give -encourage
ment to the slave-trade in all directions.
After some debate, the motion was rejected by
two hundred and ninety-five majority.
Sir Charles Napier moved for a -Select Com
mittee to inquire into the 'Constitution of the

Scenes of thrilling interest conneettd with Father Cami.
bell's early life it would doubtless be of sti II greater inter
est to trace the Christian experience of this remarkable man
through the vicissitudes of his long, earthly pilgrimage;
but, as the generally expressed opinion of fathers and
brethren demands a notice more extended than could :be
given In an obituary, we shall attempt only a very brief
Excepting a few years, in youth, spent in captivity
among the Indians, and a few months, since the death of
hie wife, spent with his daughters, he lived his entire life in
Ligonier Valley, Pa., upon the farm on which'he wee born.
He was married at about twenty-three years of age; and
MIT atter, be and Mrs. 0. made a profession of . religion. It .
'is believed that they were led by God to take this step.-
through the measional preaching , of James Poner. This
was years before there was an organized church within the
ballads of Ligonier Valley. When the Donegal church was
organized, he was elected to the office of 'Ruling Elder; and
from that time until probably two years before his death, he
discharged all the duties of the office to which he had been
called. I have discovered, by examining the Sessional,
records of the Donegal church, for the last twenty years,
that daring that time, Robert Campbell wee absent from
:Sessional meetings four or five times, and these all since he
had passed hianinety-fifth year. Nor did he confine his labors,
to Sessional meetings, and the distribution of the elements
on Sacramental occasions. As the people assembled at the
sanctuary, he invited them to join the song of praise; and
in earnest, kindly, often tearful addresses, did he exhort
them, until the hour of public service. Many persons date
' their first serious impressions from some one of his exhorta
tions. Doubtless many souls, in heaven before the Metre
meat of their conversion, are shedding lustre on the bright
'nese with which he shines in the firmament of glory. Re
itterided the meetings of Presbytery, far and near ; and,
when churches were sparse, and ordinances precious, head
ing companies of ten, fifteen, twenty, or more, he Would
cross the ' Ridge," and attend the services on communion
occasions; sometimes in churches twenty.dve or thirty
miles distant. At such ,times, frequently denying himself
the Society of the godly, he 'Maid lodge in the funnies of
the careless and non-professing, with the hope of leading
them to Christ: Extremely social in his nature, all ages and
Massie of his acquaintances were attached to him; yet be
seldom parted from any without in some way having intro.
duced the subject of religion. Those who called at his
house were always expected to unite in prayer; before leav
ing. " Time spent in prayer is never lost," was one of .his
favorite ;wham lie delighted to "join the song of solemn
praise," and even to the last could lead in this delightful
exercise; indeed all his faculties, remained vigorous. Most
men who outlive their generation, with stiffened' body and
weakened mind, pass their time listless to all around.' Not
so Father Campbell. lie had not outlived his usefulness.
Though remov. d some thirty miles, -still he attended our
Fall communion, and expected to he with ns this Spring,
and to take his old seat at the table of the Lord; but, ere'
the thus arrived, the Master bade him come up higher.
.Ilis last illnese was short, but at times severe. Conscious
of his near departnre, "hosed that he hadhopedte die at the
old place, and among his 'old friiande and neighbors," in the
Donegal church, but he' was " Content to abide by. God's
will.", He f 4 could die without them earthly friends, but
he could not die without Christ." Twice during the hist
week of, his life, in sweet dreams, the angel bands . appeared
to hover round, with hymn books in their hands, and to in
vite, and almost force him to join them. Such a strong
premien did these visions make upon his mind. that when
he waked he could scarce convince himself they ware not
real. The night he died, Ini ll bade farewell to those around,
telling them " he was now in .lordan;" that he " would soon
be over," and that "all was welt." Toward 'miming, say
ing,. "Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly," his spirit took its
flight.
Rigidly Calvinistic in his 'views, Father Campbell was
nevertheless very charitable .to those wht held views of
Scriptime doctrine differing from his own. me life, Spent in
activeOhristian duty, is another evidence, and a strong one,
that faith purifies the heart, and that the doctrines of free
and sovereign grace, are not unfriendly to good works.
Every one knowing him Was wont to .tell you, if there
is one good man living, that man is elder Campbell;
and yet, though many around boasted of having lived
weeks and months without sin, he complained bitterly of its
priweae and mourned its constant presence in his members.
Ile never felt himself "already perfect." .
We know that this man will be long remembered by all
who knew hien ; we are sure that he will he had in °veriest
ing remembrance in the upper sanctuary; but let all who
knew him remember that his faithful teaching and pions
example have greatly increased our obligations; and if we
are not the better for his heavenly Influence, our torments
will be increased for ever and ever. J. A. E.
Di --At his residence, in Centre County, Pa., on the 13th
of April, the Ser. Boum Mimeo, in the 91st year of his
age.
The death of this aged, minister, and venerable ear
vent of God, whose natural and ecclesiastical life ex
tended so far beyond the usual limits assigned to mortals,
Whose relation to the Church was so intimate, and particu
lar, and whose death was so calm and peaceful, demands a
. more than usual notice.
~ Father Bryson was for a number
of years pato} of the Fresbyterian church of Spruce Creek.
This was his fist, end as tar SW IS known to the writer, his
only Ministerial eharg4.. For many yeeere peevlous to hie
draib, through bodily infirmity, and a degree of mental im
becility, he was incapable of discharging the arduous and
laborious duties of an ambassador of Jesus; but we have
reason to believe that he endeavored to the best of his abil
ity to servo his generation, according to the will of God.
The deceased was a man of talent; his intellectual ability
was more than ordinary, and his literary and theological at
t.iin meets very respectable. As he took the Bible (or his rule
of faith, and drew his religious opinions from that precious
fountain of truth ,he was con eequeatlya decided Presbyterian,
a staunch Calvinist, and ardently and intelligently attached
to the Apostolic doct:the, primitive worship, and republican
polity of our beloved Zion. Father 13ryeen ,was naturally
courageous, and utterly devoid of the fear of man; being
sensible of his obligations to the electing love and sovereign
.grace of God, he was an uncompromising enemy of error;
he was valiant for the truth as it is in Jews, and was arm.
ions to preserve pure and entire all the instituted ordinances
of Divine worship. He possessed a sound judgment. and a
good understanding in the tuings of God. He was an able
debater, anti perhaps handled sometimes rather t/cermet
niously these who differed with him in religious opinions;
yet it is surely infinitely preferable thus to contend for the
faith once delivered to the saints, than to connive at the
ingress and progress of error. He was especially opposed
to those who thought they could commend themselves to,
Divine regard, in whole or in part, by their good works;
and many an Arminian had reason to regret the temerity
which led hint to enter with Father. Bryson, the arena of
intellectual conflict. As he drew nigh the close of his long
life, he displayed all that fortitude under suffering, that
resignation to the will of God, which the religion of Jesne
alone can produce. As his submission to the will of his
Creator was piciound,ble confidence In the goodness and
faithfulness of his almighty Saviour was unshaken; and
with the hope of eternal blessedness, he yielded up his soul
to Him who gave it. "The Fathers, where are they? And
the Prophets, do they live forever 1" T. B.

The deceased left Washington County, ,, Pa., some forty-ono
years ago, and settled hore on the farm where he lived till
the day of his death. He was a man extensively known
through the community, and he enjoyed the confidence and
esteem of all. Naturally social in his turn of mind, this
introduced him to a large circle of ardent friends and-ac
quaintances, Who delighted to visit his home, and enjoy the
kind hospitalities of himself and family: He was a mem
ber In full communion in the Presbyterian church of Two
Ridges, to which most of his family now belong. Asa kind,
obliging neighbor, a respectable citizen, a tender husband,
and an affectionate father, there were few to equal him. - He
bore his sufferings, which were severe and protracted, with
uncommon patience. He was sustained amid all with a
lively hope, which preyed to his soul an anchor both Mire
and steadfast, frequently expressing a willingness to depart
whenever the Lord would call. He seemed conscious that
the hour of his final dissolution was rapidly approaching,
yet his trust in the promisee of a Covenant-keeping God
enabled, him to face death with uncommon composure.
Though the home which he has left, and which he long
• .
cheered with his presence, now wears an * appearance of
gloom; yet the bereaved wife and sorrowing family may take
consolation from the reflection that the husband and the
father has exchanged the sorrows and afflictions of earth
for the unending joys and felicity of heaven. O,

From Professor Louis Ames
"The Geological Works of Hugh. Miller have molted the
greatest interest, not only among scientific men, but also
among general readers. There is in them a freshness of
conception, a power of 'argumentation, a depth of thought,.
a purity oifeeling, rarely met with in works of that char
acter. . . . But what is in a great degree peculiar toorrr
author, ie the successful combination of Christian doctrines
with pure scientific truths "
From Rev. Thomas Chalmers, D.D., LL.D.:
'• Since the death of Sir Waiter Scott, he (Hugh Miller) fa
the greatest ficotchman that is left."
From Sir David Brewster, LL.D., F.H.8.:
"Among the eminent studenta of the structure of the
earth, Mr. Hugh Miller holds a lofty place, not merely from
the discovery of new and =described organhons in the Old
Red Sandstone, but from the accuracy and beauty of hie de
edrlpticins, the purity and elegance of his compoeitions, and
the high tone of philosophy and religion which distingnishee
all his writing°. . . . With the exception of Burns, the
uneducated genius which has done hunor to Scotland during
the lest century has never displayed that mental refinement,
and classical taste, and it telleetual energy, which mark all
tigi writings of our author."
Front Rev. William Buckland, D.D., F.R.S.:
Dr. Bucklaud said, at a meeting of the British Aseossia
tion, "I-have never been so much astonished in my life, by
the powers of any man, as I have been by the Geological
deacriptions of Hugh Miller. That wonderfulmaridescribes
these objects with a facility which makes.me ashamed of
the comparative meserenesa amt poverty of my own de
scriptions In the 'Bridgewater Treatise,' which cost me
hours and days of labor. I would give my left hand to pos
sess su-h powers of description as this man; and if it
pleases Providence , to spare his useful life, he, if any one,
will certainly render science attractive and popular, and do
equal service to Theology and. Geology."
From Rev. William Hanna, LL.D.:
"Ile'succeeded in 'placing his name in the first rank of
British scientific writers and thinkers. His works are char
notarized by a fine union of strict science, classic diction,
and enchanting description, which rises, not =frequently,
into the loftiest vein of poetry."
From Sir Roderick Murchison, F.R.EI :
Sir Roderick Murchison, in his address to the Geological
'Society, "hailed the accession to their scisnce of snob a
writer," and said that "his work (Old Red Sandstone,) is,
to aboginner, worth a thousand didactic treatises."
