XI. rig THE ATTITUDE OF BRIGHAM YOUNG. On the 8th of October, Brigham Young deliv- ered a speech in the Tabernacle in relation to the advance of the United States troops into the Territory. He said: We have sought for peace all the day long, and I have sought for peace with the army now on your borders, and have warned them that we all must firmly believe that they are sent here solely with 2 view to destroy this people, though they may be ignorant of that fact; and though we may believe that they are sent by the Gevkcmnest of the United States, yet I, as Governor of this Territory, have no business to know any such thing until I am notified by proper authority at Washington. I have a right to treat them as a mob, just as though they had been raised and officered in Missouri. and sent here expressly to destroy this people We have been very merciful an very lenient tothem. As I informed them in my unofficial letter, had they heen those moboerats who mobbed us in Missouri. they never would have seen the South Pass. We had plenty of boys on hand, and the mode of warfare they would have met with they are not acquainted with. IT would just as soon teil them as to tell you of my mode of warfare. As the Lord God lives, we will waste our enemies by millions, if they send them here to destroy us. and not a man of us be hurt That is the method I intend to pur- sue. Do you want to know what is going to be done with the enemies now on our borders’ If they come here, [ will tell you what will be done. As soon as they start to come into our settlements, Ict sleep depart from their eyes, and slumber from their eyelids, until they sleep in death. for they have been warned and fore- warned that we will not tamely submit to being destroyed. Men shall be secreted here and there, and shall waste away our enemies, in the name of Israel's God. Col. Alexander complains of our mode of war- fare. They have two or more field batteries of artillery with them, and they want us to form a line of battle in an open plain and give them a fair chance to shoot us. I did not tell their Colonel what I thought, butif he had a spark of sense he must be a fvol to think that we will ever do any such thing. Iam going toobserve the old maxim: “* He that fizhts and runs away, Lives to fight another day.”’ Should our enemies venture upon violent measures, I design to so manage affairs that none of our boys will be killed; and in my an- swer to the General I have tld him pretty plainly what we shall do under certain contin- gencies. What they will do I neither know nor care for it will be just as the Lord wills it. If He sees that we need their substance, he will turn things to that end; and He designs them to be wi out, He will either cause them to under- take to come here, or will overrule some other plan to accomplish that end. Another year. I am going to prepare fur the worst, and I want you to prepare to cache our grain and lay waste this Territory; for I am determined, if driven te that extremity, that ourenemies shall find nothing but heaps of ashes and ruins. We will be so prepared that in a few days allcan be poses I shall re- quest the bishops to see that the people in their wards are provided with two or three yeu: provisions. There is enough already in many places this season to supply the people from two to three years, and wish them to take care of it, though I expect that in all probability we will raise a great many crops before our enemies again come here to disturb us; and I expect that we are fully able to defend our- es. and that our enemies will not be able to come within a hundred miles of us. I know that ten men, such as I could name and select, could stop them before they got to Laramie. And if we had seen fit to have sent such men this season, they alone could very easily have 80 stopped our enemies that they never would have got through the Black Hills. I count five such men equal to twenty-five thousand, and believe that two of them could put ten thou- sand to flight. I Welieve we are now where that could be done. I will take five or ten such as [ can name, and if twocan put ten thousand to flight 1 am sure that ten are able to do it. Uur enemies in the last treaty they made with us, should have stipulated that we should bave gone only a short distance, so that we would not be out of their h. They had better have wade that stipulation, but they did not have wisdom, or they would have stop- ped us from going so far over the sage plains, that it is impossible for an army to bring pro- visions enough to last them here { have been told that the first artillery com- pany, upon its arrival at Laramie, loaded up all the grain they could haul to feed their mule teams, and when they reached the Devil’s Gate they sent forward after their grain from their freight trains, and then they had not enough to last them to Ham’s Fork. It ia impossible for them to load up teams with sufficient forage to last them to Green River; and the more men they send the more there are to eat up what the mule and ox trains haul, and the con- Sequence is that the more men they send the worse it is all the time. If they undertake to send fifty thousand men to Utah, I will venture to say that they cannot raise so large a force in the United States but what would cut each other’s throats before they traveled a thousand wiles across the plains, to say nothing about any other persons molesting them. They would be cursing. damning and howling all the way. I kuow that the com- paratively few scattered here and there over the country and in the mountains can spoil their march before they cuuld get here We also perceive that the proposition to de- elare Brigham Young ‘Prophet, Secr, and Revelator” of the Mormon people, was sus- tained unanimously in the Tabernacle. ig Ex-President Fillmore, according to the New York Observer, says of his personal habits: ‘+ Lowe my uninterrupted bodily vigor to an originally strong constitation, to an education on a farm, and to life-long habits of regularity and temperance. Throughout all my public life [ maintained the same regular and syste- matic habits of — to which I had previously been accustomed. never allowed my usual hours for sleep to be interrupted. The Sabbath Lf always kept as a day of rest. Beside being @ religious duty, it was essential to health. On commencing my Presidential career, I found that the Sabbath bad frequently been employ- ed by visitors for private interviews with the President. 1 determined to put an end to this eustum, and ordered my door-keeper to meet all Sunday visitors with an indiscriminate re While Chairman of the Committee of ys and Means in Congress, and during m entire Presidential term, my labors were al- ways onerous, and often excessive, but I never nalgad an hour of sickness through them all.” Ee The author of the drama called «Tom and Jerry,’ very much the rage a quarter of acentury ago, died on the 3d ult. at the Char- ter House, y sr He had been blind for many years, but had been a diligent scribe in his day. His name was W. Moncrieff. Charles Dickens, while writing his Nicholas Nickleby, thought proper to immortalize him as the dramatic writer (in the pay of Mr. Crammles) who lived on the brains of men of intellect. The cause of this onslaught was ow- ing to Monerief having dramatized Nicholas Nic kleby while it was still in course of month- ly publication, and given it a denouement of his own, contrary to the author's senseof poctic justice. It is related that, at the recent election in Worcester, a candidate for Alderman went up to vote very near the close of the polls, and taking a ticket scratched bis name off. His rival for the office asked him why he did this, = that he himself put his own name in the ballot hox. So he seratched bis owu name on again. Soonafter he waefound te be elected by one vote, and that bis own vote, cast at the solicitation of his rival. Graxp Batt 1x Aspinwat 1x Honor oF Com. Paupixe.—On Christmas night the ball given by the citizens of Aspinwall in compli- mont to Com. Paulding and the officers of the Wabash, came off in the temporary ball room fitted up on the wharfof the U.S Mail Steam- ship Company. Entering the gateway of the covered an of the wharf a magnificent table was laid for Supper. capable of accommodating at least two hundred persons seated, and the walls were tastefully decorated with palms. flowers, and flags. At the further end of the wharf the ball room, in the shape of a T, was elegantly deco- rated with the flags of all nation: flowers ; large chandeliers and lamps brilliantly illumi- nated the room. About nine the company began to arrive, and Com. Paulding and his officers, in compli- ment to whom the ball was given, were duly received by C. J. Fox, Esa., U. S. Consul, in the name of the Committee. We notice also Capt. O'Mancy and a number of officers trom her Majesty’s ship Brunswick. Dancing was kept up with great spirit to the excellent mu- sic of the hand of Wabash until supper time. and after that repast, which was the best got- ten up we have ever seen on the Isthmus, dancing was again resumed until about three o'clock, when the party broke up.’ The fol- towing day most of the Panama guests re- turned by an extra train at 2 P. M., while others remained until Monday, with the inten- tion of paying a visit to the vessol-of-war. Way we Ave No Tuunper IN THE WINTER. Prof. Espy, in his fourth Meteorological Re- port. thus explains why we have no thunder in the winter: If it be asked why we have no thunder in the winter, though the tops of the storm clouds rise even in this season to a region where the air is at least considerably charged with electricity, perhaps the answer may be found in this—that the storm clouds in the winter are of great ex- tent, and of course the tension of the electri- city, being extended over a very large surface, is very feeble ; and the substance of the cloud being itself framed out of vapor much less dense than that of summer clouds, this tension may not be able to strike fro ¢ particle of the cloud to the next adjacent one; no general discharge can take place. Besides, even in the winter, serine a very warm spell of weather, with « high dew point for the season, we sometimes have a violent thunder storm from a cloud of very limited horizontal extent, as the thunder clouds always are in the sum- mer. Such acloud isin reality an insulated illar of hot air, mingled with condensed vapor. aving just given out into the air itself its latent caloric, causing the air at the tap of this cloud, in many cases, to be 60 deg. warmer at its top than the air on the outside at the same level. A Semurvn Detective.—A ship was about to start from Havre to America. On board was a young German woman. who, having de- serted her husband and taken with her her little girl, had embarked with her lover. The ship was about to weigh anchor, when the telegraph brought an order to arrest the mother and the child. It chanced that three or four young German women were on board with their children. The description of the fugitive was insufficient, all these women hay- ing clear complexions, and her identification was in consequence very difficult. To get out of this emburrassment the officer be ught him of a ruse. He assembled together the women with their children, and, when the group was formed, ap- proached them, and said in German : * Think of poor dear papa, who is crying far away for his little girl.” “Oh, mamma,”’ said one of the little inno- cents, bursting into tears, ‘‘ papa is erying far away; let us go back to him.”* e mother betrayed her emotion, was re- cognized and detained. Was Solomon more ready than this officer? ira See Peritovs Far. axp Narrow Escare.— Mr. Alvah L. Frisbie, member of the Theologi- eal Seminary of Yale College, attempted to climb up West Rocks, near New Haven. onone of its steepest slopes. He found as he ad- vanced that the task was much more difficult, and even dangerous, than he had supposed He would gladly bave retraced his steps, but could not, without the most imminent danger Being now within 30 or 40 feet of the top, and seeing what appeared to be a shelf, ubout 30 feet above him, he made a desperate effort to reach it. He had nearly succeeded, when his foot-hold gave way and he fell, a distance of 20 feet when he was suddenly stopped by a shrub which had taken root in the crevices of the rock. This saved his life. For, although badly ehafed and bruised, he was able, after a little time, to shout for help, which in about three hours he succeeded in obtaining. His deliver- ers let down a rope from the top of the rock, which being tastened around hia body, he was carefully drawn up, and rescued. Had he not been stopped by the shrub, he would have fall- en some 20 feet further, and would have struck upon rocks below, and probgbly have been in- stantly killed. ournal of Commerce. OPERATION ON AN LerHaNnt.—During the late visit to Hull of Wombwell’s menagerie, the elephant Chubby underwent an operation which deserves a place among surgical records. For twelve or fifteen months previously, a tu- mor had been guthering on Chubby’s off side thigh Chubby sickened, lost his appetite, and pined away. Many ways were tried in vain to remove the tumor; until, asa last re- source, application was made to a Hull yeteri- nary surgeon, Mr. Tom B. Hyde, Jr. Mr. liyde revolved to use the lancet. The oper- ation lasted two hours, Chubby undergoing it with fortitude. The tumor when removed weighed five pounds, and one of the fangs had to be searched out with the knife, for a foot down the thigh. The operation proved emi- nently successful. Every fresh bulletin an- nounced his improving health, till the latter end of November, when Mr. Hyde pronounced his patient thoroughly restored, an capable of returning to business. Chubby at once took the train to join his friends, Messrs. Womb- well & Co., and when we last heard of him his appetite and good looks were the theme of gen- eral admiration.—Eastern Counties Herald. Tne Exctsios or 4 May's Toxcve.—The following letter has been addressed by Profes- sor Syme to the editor of the Times: “I re- gret to learn that an operation which I hap- vonet to perform in the Royat Infirmary of ‘dinburg has got into the newspapers ; but, as it has unfortunately done so, the public should be correctly informed on the subject. Partial removal of the tongue, for the remedy of can- cer, having been found worse than useless, it was thought that extirpation of the whule or- gan might afford effectual relief; upon this principle I proceeded. The patient suffered no bad consequences directly from the opera- tion; but at the end of a week, when the ex- ternal wound was quite healed, died suddenly from an internal disease, which might have been excited by any other irritation in a per- son of bis constitution and habits.’ Sap Mistake.—Major Beale, the chivalrous Vermonter, hax just returned from his Euro- ree tour, but his fellow-townsmen are aston- shed and horrified at his altered appearance. When in Paris, he eballenged a French Colo- nel, and the weapons being swords, at the first stroke, the Major's nose was severed close to his face. Hastily picking up and replacing the organ, he tied -his handkerchief over it. After leaving on the bandage for eleven days he removed it, when to his consternation te found thot he had placed it wrong side up and it was now healed.
