There is me serious split; * few of the saints have been contumacious, and Brigham bas brought the disciplin of the church to bear on them so effectively that they have but few followers. His will Is as potent and hig power as absolute as in the_early_days_af the settlement of Utah. TRE Ittravirqs.—Late despatches report a trames committed on the Plains.. The northern tribes arc reported ,defiant and warlike, They demand posses. sion of the country, withdrawal of the troops, the suspension of railroad constitution, in stead of being willing to co-operate with the —Government irr4ts effortto-ind-ue-e—tb-4—ho • - tile Indians to withdraw from the 'war path. The condition of uffairs forebodes serious trouble. STAN TON SUSPENDED.—The President has suspended ScereUt - try Stanton from the War office, and directed Gen. Grant to take charge of the DepriMent, and act as Secre tary until . the meeting of Congress. The Baltimore American sa , s • —The question arises, how_can General_G ran t fill tWO offices at the same time? flow can he be Secretary of War and General Com• rnandino under the direction of the Secrets. ry of W ' 'ar? Does the President mean to re ncral Grant from tho position of General in Chief, and elevate to that impor te.nt-post some one more pliant and subservi• cnt—some one who will not oppose his desire to get raid - of - -- we do not see how the President expects to be aided in his purposes by putting the friend and sustainer of Sheridan at,the head of the _W ar D u purt......-4. not of July 25 118 K T o -Owing the grade of General in the United States Army, under which General Grant holds his position as General-in-Chief, as follows: '-The President is • hereby au thorized, whenever he shall deem it expedi' "nt, to appoint, by and with the advice and consent-ot tire - Senate, a General of.the Army of the United States, most distinguished for courage, skill and ability, who, being coin-! missioned as General, may be authorized, 'en der Ike direction and pleasure of the Presi dent; to command the armies of the United States." The words we have placed in italics show that the President has the most plena ry power over the office of General. Gener al Grant holds his office during the pleasure of the President, and entirely under his di rection. We are told in the despatch that General Grant was "authorized" to act as Secretary. We think it more than proba ble that he was commanded, and that the "acceptance" of General Grant was simply a compliance with an order which he did not feel hi.nselfat liberty to disregard from his superior in command! We are confident that when we get at all the facts connected with this high handed measure it will appear that General Grant has been guided by that same lofty sense of patriotic duty which has hitherto characterized his every oflical act. We think we see in this affair a considerable effort on the part of the President to make it appear "that Grant is one of us," just as when he "swung round the circle," appro priating General Grant's popularity all to himself. The correspondence will be found in to-day's paper.. (:)a Saturday the Surratt• jury came into •court, and announced that they were linable to agree. They declared that the differences were irreconcilable, and that the in embers of the jury were divided nearly e qually Judge Fisher then discharged them, to which .the prisoner's counsel objected. Four are reported as favoring conviction and eight acquittal. Surratt's counsel inquired whether the District 'Attorney proposed to hold the prisoner. or enter a nolle prosrpti, and Mr. Carrington responded that he cer tainly would not release him. As soon as the jury had left the court, Judge Fisher said he had an unplcroant duty to perform, and dismissed the elder Bradley (counsel for Surratt) from the bas,for the assault commit ted upon the Judge on the 2d of July. A midst much excitement the Judge left the Bench, and escorted by his friends and 'sev eral policemen, entered a street oar. Brad ley rushed out and jumped into the same car, and handed .the Judge a challenge to fight a duel, and this ended the Surratt trial. It is ,probably that the prisoner will bagain put on trial at the December term of the Court.

PUBLIC WANT, Mr. -Editor :—ln the last issue of your pa per, under this head you say. "As far back as last winter it was announced in our paper upor. what we considered good authority that 'the School Board had decided upon the erec tion of a suitable building. We must have beerLwropgly informed or else the Board have reconsidered or indefinitely postponed the. matter." Sometime last winter Feent you a communication, which you published, in i which I gave you information similar to that referred to above: If lam the "considered good authority" to whom you allude I would simply say that I had gathered my informa tion from *hat I heard a member of the Board say and from what others said they had heard from - the Board. There is no doubt this matter was then wider considera tion and 'part of the Board thought they were about to astonish the natives by doing some thing in the right direction. But lo! the bubble has burst, the gas has escaped, and so far as we can discover with the naked eye, not even a dropremains to tell the tale of the grand project. We had fondly hoped that this aerial structure woul: e e ti is have lce transformed into something more substantial, but disappointment only greets us. Why have our Board gone to napping over this thing? Da we not need some action in this direction? I say this is a Public Want.— But.says Mr. Closefist and his clique that it will cost ii.oinruch. Now Mr. Closefist is a respectable citizen and not altogether devoid of reason. It you will but get him . . ter sordid dust—carefully to examine this matter, he will 'aree with manifest his interest in the e cause by drawing out his long wallet and planking down some .of the needful}.

As "liberal saleries" are paid, of course, we have number Wig teachers of high mental cul(ure to train the minds of our future school directors, constables, &e. But thank fortune we arc going to have a good teacher here in spire of all disadvantages. Prof. Wilson is going to continue with us. He will have one if not more as sistants, but for the want of a proper building he is compelled to have his rooms in different parts of the town. Mr. Wilson we hope and believe will. be lib erally patronized. He. possesses ability train ed in the school of experience. He gives to his school instruction in Vocal Music free of charge. This should not be a small con siderat:on. Music is something every one should understand. Yours truly 1.- .2 , RUDOLPIIUS £The Lancaster Intelligencer gives the following particularsof the storm that visited that section on Thursday, when two men where killed by lightning at Ephrata Springs. It will be seen that other persons very nar rowly escaped death: The vicinity of Ephrata yesterday morning was visited by a terrific thunder storm, du. ring which the rain fell is torrents and the lightning flashed incessantly. About half past ten o' clock, a two story house 'standing about 200 yards back of the Springs Hotel, towards the mountain side, and occupied by the hotel servants, was stuck by the light ning, the fluid passing' down the chimney and entering a room on the second story, in which were two colored men, waiters at the springs, one lying down on the bed, and the other engaged in writing at a table; one was instantly killed, and the other lived but a few minutes after he was struck. The name of the one is Benjamin R. Bid dle, a resident of Wilmington, Delaware, and the other is John Mohr, a resident of Phila delphia. Mohr was the one engaged in wri ting, 'and his last words were "I am very well." A little girl was Rifting in a rocking chair, which had the rockers taken off, but she re ceived no injury. One woman was knocked down senseless, and another bad the steel of the hoops in her skirt molted by the lightnin.g. 'Hon. Edward McPherson, Clerk of Ho s t e of Rep., had the degree of L. L.

The work is very highly spoken of by many of our exchanges, who have' read it, and we doubt not it is well worth a perusal. The author, Mr. Richardson, is a.racy writer and his previous works have met with great success. See their advertisement and there you will find out the nature of their publica tion.

SCITOOL BooKs.—lt'ziffords us p' ~ure to express our approve/ of 'A tr,LsoN's AD; EDS, a series lately adopted by the ; of Directors o f • Washington township ; and 'which is now being presented to the t tics of the directors of the county by Mr. ►. v. •Fahrney, These heels are gott6il up i the Harpers well-known good style—the illu.tra tions being far superior to what . we usually find in high priced literary works, a feature too often overlooked.. Children pould have books to instruct - mid aE the same time en tertain them. Prom the first number infiec• Hon marks, are used which will correct or prevent the "sing song" manner of 'enuncia, tion so common with beginners. The read• ing matter is instructive, treating on the Nat. ural Sciences;_birds, beasts, flowers, insects, reptiles, minerals, and vegetables are talked about in a familiar way. The selections from the current literature are excellent, The worn-out anecdotes, and Indian speech es which have been stereotyped in nearly all of the Readers for the past fifty years and. have made them so dull and monoton ous are not found in Willson's. While we do not approve of frequent and constant changing of school books ever year or two, yet where any change is desire we think directors would find , in the series ,t the t • I I / • ha Mir what will fill all reasonable 'wants or aspira tions for the next ten years. CHANGE.—In these times, when there is something now every day, we think measures emoora . • names. For instance, how much more useful would it be when a lady gets mar• tied, to drop the I - IA(11e initial, and insert her family name. When Harriet BeeOier - was married she retained her family name thus, and is now known throughout the world as Harriet Beecher Stowe. People would not then have to inquire—" Who was she before s e was mu We recommed to all our young ladies this change. CURE FOR FELONS.—Within the past week,we met with several friends who are tor mented with those troublesome things-known a sure cure ""As soon as the parts begin to swell get the tincture of lobelia, and wrap the part af fected with a cloth saturated thoroughly with the tincture, and the felon is dead." An old physician says he has known it to be tried in a score of cases and it never failed if applied in season. COUNTY TREASURER.—The Valley Spirit has been informed—and we presume it may be received as authority in this instasce— that the County Commissioners have deci. aoa that Hereafter the salaiy tioun-, ty Treasurer shall not exceed nOOO per an um. This is perhaps not much more - than half the amount heretofore paid that officer. Of course the tax payers of the county will not object to this little Court House reform. SOLD Our.-Mr. J. Richardson has dis• posed of his Livery stock to Mr. John Ston er privately, who will continue the business The pdblic sale announced for to morrow (Saturday) will therefore not come off. AN ACCIDENT.—We understand an acci dent occurred among some workmen on the W. M. Railroad, not far from Smithburg, on Saturday evening last. It appears several individuals wore at work under an embank ment when it suddenly fell crushing and in stantly killing one young man and seriously injuring a second. one. ra.Mrs. Degler, of Shartlesville, Berke county, was so badly burned 'last week, whila filling a lighted lamp, that she died of her inj cries.

EXTRAORDINARY LONGEVITY.—The Hick man Kentricky Courier announces the death or Polly Haynes at the, great ago of 105 years. For a long time she has been possess• ed of the idea that she was destined to live for 125 years, and greatly regretted that her constitution failed her before she had seen that number of years. The Philadelphia Ledger records the death of Mrs. Alana L. Clark at the_Sge of 107 years, and adder-. .5.1 - rs.

[From the Boston Voice.] The great contest which has been carried on in Tennessee for so many weeks past, cul urinating in such a splendid triumph for the Union Republican party, has scarcely closed beforsur ears are saluted by the low rum bling of the coming conflict in the State of Maryland. That State, though nominally never out of the Union, has had far more to contend ' against than the persecuted Tennesseans, or the people of any other 'Rebel State. Ten nessee had an earnest, fearless and determined loyal Governor all the way through. Mary land, a Johnsonized hermophrodite tool of the Rebels, a traitor to his country and the party that elected him. Tennessee had the protection of the Fed eral army, which has never been vouchsafed in Maryland since the apostasy of her Gov ernor, only on the side of the rebellion and in the interest of Andrew Johnson. Tennessee had a loyal Legislature, which enfranchised all her blacks. Maryland had a Rebel Leg islature, which enfranchised all her Rebels and strove to reduce her hundred thousand emancipated slaves again to bondage. Ten nessee had for the most put a loyal police, Maryland a police that absconded in 1861,, joined the Rebel army, and have now re turned tio their former positions. Tennessee had a loyal militia organized by Governor Brownlow in the interest of free dom and, for the protection of thepeople. ' Maryland a disloyal militia officered by re turned Rebels and Copperheads in the inter-; est of Governor SWeilllfa and Andrew John son's " policy." Such is the condition politically of Mary land as compared with that of Tennessee and the-other States that went into the rebellion; and, as if this ivas not endugh, that the hero ic and fire tried Unionists of that State should drink still deeper of the dregs in the cup of Rebel wrath, the Rebel Legislature of last winter made appropriations of upwards of four millions of dollars to advance the in terest of the Governor's party and that of his Rebel friendsin the State, and closed their session by calling a Constitutional Conven tion, the ultimate object of which was to de strny the last vestige of, a republican form of 5,, go ernment which had been secured to us, b the Constitution of 1861. 'hat Convention, thus called, has assem bl and accomplished its allotted " work.— T new Constitution has been drafted, and, as as long since anticipated, has the "Reb el ell" ringing and running throughout its pr isions, and is now to be submitted to the pc ple for ratification. • 'his is the issue now before the people of M ryland. The Radicals are going into the co test as a minority with the whole patron 'ag ol`the State and General Government against them; yet with so great odds now, if they : . re wise, prudent and united, they can win.
