ee ONE MONTH LATER FROM UTAH TERRITORY ADDRESS OF GOV. BRIGHAM YOUNG. RESULT OF THE ELECTION. SINGULAR ITEMS, ie, &, & We received yesterday the Deseret News, from Great Salt Lake City, of the first of October, whica is one mouth later than our previous advices. There ‘was no publication of the News between the 25th of August and October Ist, owing to a want of white paper, which the editor states he has now received in abundance, and promises the regular issue of his journal for a year to come at least. ‘We extract from the News the following articles and items, which will be found both curious and in- os 3. ADDRESS. PRESIDENT BRIGHAM YOUNG'S . TassRNacus, Sunday, 10 A. M., Sep’. 11. After giving you a brief explanation of the feelings Of those who profess to be Sauts, I wish to give a little counsel—as 1 have frequentiy done before -to new comers. I am a:qusiated with the general dis- position of manki d' aud being also coneiaeral ly acquainted with the traditions under which thel minds, feelings, us, jndsments, or I will com- nd the whole by sayiug their consciences have jp ag by pareats, eachers, ministers, and others, who have exercised an influence over the young and tender mind, these things are familiar to me in a great degree and have been for many years. T see them manitested each day | live. The branches of the tree shoot forth, and bear their fruit, aad men can e of the nature of the tree by its fruit. The feelings and sentiments of this ple, the Latter-Day Saiats, are varied; they are fartrom bein, of one heart, und of one mind; of one jadgment, anc of one desire; but I have no doubt they come nearer to it then any other community upon the face of the earth. This we know. In reality, the iahad- itants of the eurth do not vary so much in their sen- timenta as they do in the explaining of them, to each other. This { have good reason to believe; when feelings and ideas are explained people vary mora im language thao in sentiment. Yet they differ widely in their sentiments, pees customs, habits, and manner of life. With regard to the kingdom of heaven now on the earth, of which we form a part— ‘we admit the kingdom of God has come—maay of us believed that years ago, who believed Joseph Smith ‘was a prophet, who believed he had power and au- thority to establish it onearth. What were the feal- ings of the people, almost universally, in the infancy of this church’ Men of science aud talent in shis church believed—or they said they believed—honest- Jy eo ees with all their hearts, that Joseph Smith id not They believed he understood spiritual things—that he understood the spirit of the Lord. and how to build up the spiritual kingdom among men; but when temporal matters were talked of, men were ready to decide at once that they knew more than the prophet about such matters, and did so decide. ere you to ask how many times men did so, who did so, | and on what occasions they did so, I can answer you, for I am conversant with every cirzsumstance that transpired pertaiuing to temporel matters, from the first of my acquaintance with Joseph Smith asa rophet of the Lord. The first elders of this charsh Mecided that Joseph did not understand temporal matters. The first bishops of this church said they believed with all their hearts that they understood temporal matters fur better than the prophet Joseph. Are these the feelings of the people at the present time’? They are not, but right to the reverse of it. Tcould have said then the same that 1 can say | now if Joseph was living; if he could have been | believed, at coatidence placed in him, with regard to temporal matters, wealth would have been poured into the laps of this people to overflowing. The remark that was made this morning is a true one, although the matter referred to is small, apparently, but it is a fact, there was not confidence in the le enough to satisfy them that the prophet ieee how to handle money, or what to do with it; they did not believe he knew how to manage tempo- ral affairs. This lack of confidence brought poverty and distress upon the whole people. When men came into our midst, who shut up the bowels of | theircompasion and held their money with an iron | fist, they were held in ccmimunion with us, our faita ‘was exercised for them we mingled with them, and we them followsbip for a time, yet one man with coveteoueness tied up the whole people. In | many it ces. mea were cutoff for their covetevus- | ness, and because they had not confidence in the | prophet, and held their substance when means were wanted to carry ou the work of God, to sead the Gospel to distant lands, to sustain the poor, butid houses, and accowplish that which was uec-ssary to be done. While this means was withheld it | brought the whole church under condeniaation, | for this reason ail had to suffer. This was in the | €ays of the prophet Joseph. Have the people | reformed since tuen? Perhaps a few of them | have ; and, again, perhaps a great many of them | have not. Many have uot had an opportunity to reform, as there is a considerable portion of | this community who have not had an acquaintance | with the propaet; they have never associated with | him, they have not had an opportunity of sustaining | iiwthande Again, there is a certain portion of the | people who were azsociated with him. What would | the people do now if they by their voice could call | him back to their midst? Would they be willing to | lay their substance at his fect? I very much doubt | it. He was , barrassed, distressed, afflicted, and tormented with law sui upon law suits, persecution upon persecution, and thus it cost thousands, and bundreds of thousands of doliars to keep him alive, whicha few had to sustain. Is this affliction uy them now? Itisno!. The scene is reversed. asthe people once thought that many by one man will be made poor, they now believe by one man many will be made rich. At the present dayI do not know where the opportunity is to prove the people. There are indivicuals here, aud members of the church, that when they come uy to this land are very careful to leave their substance behind then. And if they have money to lend, they are very care- ful to lend it to persons who do uot belong to tae church. There are such present to-day. They are fearful and unbelieving. They did not believe ia the days cf Joseph that he could tell them the truth. But if you asked them if they believed Joseph was a prophet, and if God sent him to build up the king- dom, “Ob, yes,” would be their reply; and yet they had not eontidence to ask him what they should do with the thousands in their possession. These are a few facts in the life and exverieace of the prophet | Joseph. How is it now? Have the people confi- degce? They say they have. Are they willing to | take counsel? They say they are. As it was observed | here this morning, when we wi-h anything done the | people are ready aud willivg to raise their hands to accede to the propositiovs made by their leaders. | Do remember what I tild youa few Sabbaths | ago? viz;—This whole people are willing to receive counsel, but who of them are willing to carry it out to the very letter? The future will prove that. It is not proven by sitting on yourseats and simply rais- | ing hands, as a token, a covenant, a witness to | God ond angels that you are ready to take counsel, | and also carry it out. For men of principle, and | seemingly of good sepse, to believe the prophet | Joseph, who was isspir€d to build up the kingdom of God, temporally as well as spiritually, did not know a8 much aocut a picayune as about God's spiritual kingdom, about a farm as about the New erusalem, is folly in the extreme—it is nonsense in the superlative degree, Those who entertain such ideas onght to have their neads well combed, and | subjected to a lively course of friction, that perad- venture a little common sense may dawn upon their confused ideas. Consult your own jadgments in such matters. Do you think that God would set a man to lead his peopie wno does not knoy as mush about a picayune ora farm as about (iod’a spiritual kingdom. or the New Jersslem? Shame on those who would entertwin suct ideas, for they debase and corrupt the hearts of the community who imbibs them. aeons to the sentiments of some of the LatterDay Snaints, the Lord must have become wonderfully high-minded ia the last daye. I should think he has become too proud, according to their bel ef, to notice farms and mexcbandise, aad other I'ttle aifairs and transac- | tions that pass around us. He usec to note the very | hairs of our heads that feil, and the sparrows: he took care of the ravens, acd watched over the ci! dren of Israel, and supplied all their temporal wants; | but we say now, he does not cundescend to such small matters, having given us an understanding, and we know what to do. Are not these the feelings of the people? I could refer to some little things by way of example; but it would hit somebody rather too publicly. tme ask that brother if you have not thought in your heart you would not go to brother Brigham for counsel. tor fear he would coun- se! youto go to some place you did not want to go? B:ill you say, “I believe this is tre kingdom of God, | apd tao not wast to come in contact with brother Brigham; I do not wish to meet him, for fearhe | aball come in contact with my calculations, and what T have decided upon in my inind.” I could put my | hand upon some of you who entertain such thoughts. I will refer you now to the cvansel I wished to give | the bretaren who have lately come into the ciiy | from the Bast. I have heretoiore counselled new | comers to goto the South, or to the North, for we have settlements J60 miles North ond South. Many of the people here bave tieir friends, who have come in this season, and some are still oa the plains, who will be in ir w days. I have been in the | habit of saying to the breturen, you take 100 families | and rettle m_ such sd you take fifty and settle in yonder place have given au sh conse’ tor the guldauce of she bieiuioa that i not inleed ows Consnusl whiaing, gayi what ithas | og, L want tand anything about temporal matters. | | strict now, as the authorities of the church once nd | | your last sitting on the 234 inst, to determine the to a Se enter ate, for there is somewhere want meto go tt do not like;” or, “ I rather think Brother Bringham thinks I am not tried and | proven Lemmy and he wants to put me in cir- cumstances to trying me.” That is the reason I want you to go here or there, and the reason why you complain; for when men are thoroughly tried they are ready to goto any place where ‘hey are told to go, and when they are told. My coun- sel now to new comers is, to do just what you have & mind to, and go where you please, if you can. You may go and settle in ce part of the Territory that you please; and, furthermore, you may go to Californisif you wish. I have told you what you may do, I will now tell you what you may not do. You may try to gather a little company, and go to settle a place where there are no inha)i- tants. You cannot, with my consent, go to auy lace unless it is to a city that is or wil! be walled in. If you go from this city go toa us'ghborhood | where you can be defended from the ravages of [a- dians or other evil designed persons. Brotaer Davis Fullmer this morning talked about workiag all ovr lives upon a wall, if it were necessary, but the w we contemplate making here is not a bre, spell. I calculate to keep walling until the tains around us become an impregnable What we have now on hand is not a circumsiance I will venture to say that brother Parley P. Pcatt bas oe job on band infinitely more extensive than th walllb, eet to him sixteen years ago by the prophet Joseph Smith, in the Kirtland Temple. Parle: P. Pratt bas yet to build temples in old Scotland. The Scotch looinoes might say, “ Whatis the use, then, of our coming to these distant valleys, so far from our native country?’ Had you not better write to your brethrea who are still in Scotland to stay where they are, think you? He has to build temples there of greater magnitude than we have yet contemplated. When he will do it I do not know; it is certain he will do it, if he is faithful; but whether he will do it after the earth is glorified, or before that time, I do not know. I have a word to say to the sisters who have lately come into ot r city:—Do not allow your fathers, your hus- bandg, and your brothers to go to any place to settle unless it is walled in, or in some other way made per- fectly capable ot defending you and themretves from the attacks of Indians, or those who would seek to destroy you and your property. If they want to drag you off to come Veo where you will exposed to the ravages of Indians, tell them you are poing to stay where you are, and then ask them what they are going to do about it. It is not my general prac- tice to counsel the sisters to disobey their husbands, but my counsel is, obey your husbands, ani Iam san- guine and mort emphatic oa that subject. But Inever counselled a woman to follow her husband t» the devil. If a man is determined to expose the lives of his friends, let that man go to the devil and to des- traction alone. You have got my counsel. You need not, any of you, ask my counsel to run over to the west mountains to settle, for there are plenty alone therealready. If you have not elbow room enough, rub my elbows ; I can rub as hard as you can. I can tell you something you never have yet thought of. You may number all the families in this city, and with them their cattle and flocks, and there is more ground within its precincts, if tivated, than would support them all from year to year. There are not inhabitants enough in the cit: to cultivate the land in it as it should be. Loo! around and see the hundreds of acres that have not been cultivated at all; one bushel to ten has not been raised that might have been on the lots that the people have pretended to cultivate. Be not afraid of being too close together. The man or woman who ay the spirit of the Lord never teel themselves crowdea by that spirit, or by those who « ss it; and they never will. Waen dis- turbance and difficulty occur it is because of the opposite spirit, which is a contentious spirit, ana those persons who possess it may expect to b> crowded when they get to hell as mach or more than they are here; they will not have as much elbow room there as they have here, perhaps. The Latter Day Saints ought not to feel so. Our cities | are open—our streets are wide, and we have the | sweet monntain air, and a healthy country. Do not be afraid to live together. What kind of air did you breathe, who lived in eleven, twelve and fourteen story houses in your native country? If you could live in such confined circumstances, why cannot you live here, while breathing sir, as sweet, { may say,as the New Jerusalem. I have told you my mind; you can now do as your own minds shall dictate, if yo think proper, and be responsibie for the same. | have frequently thought, what would be the con- sequence in this community, were we to be a3 were; for it used to be, if a man did not obe! counsel after it was given him, he was cut of from tte church. Do you not think we are lenient, easy and forgiving ? Let us be kind to each other, and cultivate the spirit of, peace, and seek diligently | to know the will of God. How can you know it’ In matters pertaining to Bete he as individuals you can obtain it directly from the Lord ; bat in matters pertaining to public affairs His will is ascertained terough the proper channel, and may be kaown by the general counsel that is given you from the proper scurce. I have tuld you heretofore what I am afraid of, (and, in reality, am not afraid of anything ese.) which is incorporated in the idea: see that | ¢ lorget no: the Lord your God. If this people | will serve him with all their heart, mind and streagth, they have nothiog to fear from this time heacefurth and forever. You are not to be overcome by your | encmies, or pat down and trampied under fvot, if you wilt do this, and continue to be humble before | ihe Lord your God. In doing this, no power under the heavens can disturb this people. if I have any knowledge touching the condition of this people at the present time, and the way they are taught, led, counselled, and dictated by those who go before them to open up the way, it is directly oppo- site of that we saw in the days of Joseph the prophet. was full of sorrow, trouble, poverty, and distr ut now the people are led into riches, by the example, counsel, advice, and dictations of | \ eir leaders. They are on the high way to wealth: | | and there is danger in it. Here are men that never knew enough of the principles of economy to gather substance, or save anythiog to themselves, until within a few years bac! ut now they are becomiag rich in a moderate poi: i We do not expect to become wealthy like the Rothschilds, or some | | other Jarge capitalists of Europe. This people are | gatherinz much substance around them, which is a principle of Heaven—a principle of Zion ; but there is a fear within us lest it cause us to forget our | God and gur religion. Whether we have much or little, let it be on the altar, for it is all the Lord’s, whether this peop!e know it or not. Joseph | Swith said to this people, that a'l the wisdom | he had was received from the band of the Lord. All | the knowledge, wisdom, economy, and every busi | ness trabsaction pertaining to human life, in conuec- | tion with thegpiritual kingdom of God on the earth, | is given unto us as iadividuals, or as a community, from the liberal hand of God. Do you realize tais ? Or will some of ycu say, “It is my own wisdom and economy that has accomplished this or that?” If you do, beware, lest the Lord withdraw the light of is spirit from you, that you are left in darkness, and jour former judgment, wisdem and discretioa be taken from you. If we receive good, it is of the Lord; then Jet us serve him, and love him witha true heart. As to the world, they may do as they pleare, for we care not for it anyhow. Let this people cleave unto the Lord and righteous principles, and all is right and well. May the Lord bless you, Amen! RESULT OF THE ELECTION.

Yo the Honorable Mayor and City Council of Great Salt Lake City: — We, the undersigned committee, appointed at line for the contemplated wall around this sity, re- epectfully present the following re port:—We recom- mend vhat the inner line of tue wal! commence at a point eight reds sou bh of the southeast corner of lot three, in block one, of plot B, thence due north 636 rods, including two blocks, and two streets north of ihe prevent survey, thence due west abut 403 rods to the cast line of First East Temple street, thence in of the whole territory of Utah. His work | roperly cul- | digging, and making into wall, though small por- tions are somewhat a1 py. From the northeast cor- per of the pro) i , tothe northeast cor- ner of the bath house block, there will be more or lers gravel, but your committee judged there would be sufficient soil for making mud in the greater part of this mn of the line. We also respectfully recommend that the inner edge of the wail be on the above described live, and the onter edge be from twenty to thirty-six inches from the breaking of the ground for the ditch, ac- cording to the condition of the soil and the inclina- tion of the surface; that the wali be made twelve feet high and six feet thick at the bottom, carried ap with an equal slope on each tace so as to be twoand a hal’ feet thick at the height of six feet, then carried up the remaining six feet two and a half feet thick, aud rounded on the top; that it be made of the earth taken from the ditch, which should be properly i ezed, mixed with weed, sage brash, smal! wil: s. grass, cane bullrushes, or whatever of like veg tion ig handieat to the portion under progress, and #reve! where convenient, and placed on the ground for the wall at i depth suited to its consistency, and when the frat layeF t= dry, repeat the operation un- the wall is complete; *¢ the ditch be dug large enough to furnish the earth «~ the wall, with pro- pamsorate width aud depth, alu'.eoperly sloped 8 Of necessity there must be gates and bast, we recommend that there be one gale on the line, to be on the street next west of the bath houst:, one gate at City Creek, one where the railroad cross- es the line, one on the street that will best accommo- date the travel to and from the east, and -a sufficient number on the south line to reasonably accommodate the travel into the big field and the country south ; that half moon bastions be made in the wall, at dis- tances as near forty rods a) as the nature of the ground will admit, and at the gates and corners. We would further recommend the following method for raising and applying the means to build the wall, to wit:— the assessor charge ten dollars on every city lot now surveyed, or that may be surveyed, with- intaid wall; then rate each lot that is or may be taken, at its fair cash market value, according to its location, and also the improvements thereon; then estimate, as nearas may be, the cost of making the wall, deduct therefrom the amount arising from the ten dollars on each lot, and with the balance of the estimate, and the amount arising from the valuation of lots and improvements, arrive at the per centage on eaid valuation; this to be done by wards as soon as practicable. and when complete for any ward, let it be handed to the bishop. of that ward, who will see the collection and application of his portion; the col- lection to be made in avy mode that will answer the designed purpore. All of which is respectfally submitted by ALBERT CARRINGTON, Parvsy . Prarr, Frankurn D. Rionarps. Great Salt Lake City, Aug, 27, 1853. RESOLUTION. In compliance with the unanimous request of the inhabitants ef Great Salt Like City, expressed by their bishops to the City Council of said city, Be it resolved by the City Council of Great Salt Lake City, that a ditch and wall be this city, with suitable gates and bastions, to be loca- ted and built to comport with the recommendation of the committee appointed to determine the site for raid ditch and wall; that to provide means for build- ing said ditch and wall, David Candiand immedi- ately procure a suitable book,and proceed forth- with, and with dilligence, to rate every lot within the boundaries of said wall at ten dollars, and in ad- dition, to value every sush lot, and the improve- ments thereon, at the fair market value, according to quality and location; and aiso value in like man- ner all the taxable property in this city, and dednct- ing the rate amount from the estimated cost of the ditch and wall, arrive at the per cent to be charged on the valuation, avd make report thereof to this council at the earliest possible date; that each dish- op’s ward be assessed separately, aud when the as- sessment is finished the assessor is to furnish each bishop a list, containing the amount to be raised in his ward, the names of the persons from whom it is placed opposite his name, and deliver the usaess- ment to shall. apon the receipt of said list, immediately pro- ceed to apply the amount required of his ward to the speedy completion of said ditch and wall, under the superintendence of the above named committee, consisting of Albert Cee Parley P. Pratt ani Frouklin D. Richards, Passed August 29, 1853. J. M, Guant, Mayor. Robert Campbell, City Recorder. INDIAN DIFFICULTIES. But little has transpired under this head since our last date—that is, of importance. The Indians, gecerally, for a few weeks have appeared very quiet, doing little damage except tsking 4a little grain and vegetables cian mally) more particularly in the region of Summit creck. About three o'clock on the morning of September 13th, William Hatton was killed by Indians, while standing guard at Fillmore. It is supposed that the Pauvans commited this deed, as they have been quite saucy at times, aud have stulen much wheat from the fields at that place. Five Indians have been killed at Manti; date not learned. There has also been scme Indian chasing dona in the south yart of Utah valley; dates und particulars not known here. Continue to watch! Finslly, brethren in the moyntains, take care of yourselves and the mils in your vicinity, where you may want your wheat made into flour. It you do not, you may want he!p aad bread whea your ueigh- bors can't help you. ITEMS CURIOUS AND ENTERTAINING. Our friends will rejoice with us that a fresh supply time in puttiog a sheet to the press, in the full s024- dence that we shall not be interrapted in our usual issue: for ove year atleast. Our type was mostly set for this number some six or eight weeks since, hoping for an earlier arrival; and we do not feel dia- posed to change the plan of our history, but to bring _A. W. Badbit, Eeq., arrived in our city on the 26th, direct from Kanesville, bringing no very im sortant news from the States, or the nations of the earth. Mr. Babbit has been appointed Secretary of Utah. He bas our nest wishes. We do not learn that any changes bave been made in our publis officers as yet; time will determine what will be done. At present Utah is cuited with her officers. Ali things are quiet and peaceful among the saints. A few cutlandish men have recently been convicted before our courts for stealing cattle, cash, & » Whose names and bistory we are not familiar with. A poor place for rogues is Utah. They had be ter keep ewoy. Heavy immigration, to California mostly, prssed by, and generally bebaved themselves well compared with former years, to a great disprofit instead of pro- fits to our city, for we have no breadstuff to Spare; for our wheat mexeures well, but weighs light eo far oa we have beard.

From tae Fisting Grovxp.—The schooner Ella Osborne, Huntrick, (late Carter, who was drowned hy the upeetting of a hoat at Mallpec harbor,) arrived at Gloucester yesterday, from the Bay of St. Law- rence. Came through the gulf of Caaso on the 5th inst.; left only about thi ty eail of American fishing vessels on the coast. Her Majesty's steamers have all left the ground, on account of heavy weather, for their winter quarters at Halifax. The cutters are still on the ground, and quarter mostly at Port Hood. All of the American fishing vessels will leave the coast by the 15th inst, it being very dangerous to remain there so late as at the present time. The crew of the Ella Osborne contradict the report of the loss of the schooner Gold Hunter, having spoken her within a week, and believe that she is uow safe, None of the vessels were getting soy mackerel, and eh 1 had very slim fares— Boston Traveller, ov. 11. , Two Caripren Buanep.—A most distressing ac- cident occurred at the St. Charles House, in St. Louis,on the 4'h instant, by which two children were burned to death. A Mrs, Hicks who occapied a room in the hotel, left it that evening to be absent pA minutes. She left in the room her two litle girls, one aged three years and the other thir- teen months, the latter lying on the bed. While she was gene the oldest girl commenced to play with the fire, when her dress accidentally caught, and she ran to the bed where her little sister lay, and ia a few minutes the bed was in flames. The oungest child was butned to death and very much ‘istigured by the action of the fire, and the oldest was found in the last agonies of death, and lived ovly a short: time. The father left only a short time since fur California, Coxcrecatiorar, Cavron Ernorion.—Of the Congregational building fand. the cight thousand dollars assigned as the share of Illinois, was recently appropriated by the proper committee in session at Peoria. About forty churches made application for with the exception of one, which only asked fur $100. Loane of $260 were made to four churches; the others were donations.

The Planet of the 26th ult. learns from Dr. Gautier, who le(t there on the Mon- day preceding, that seven deaths had oscurred, and that there were fourteen new cases. Up to that time it had almost entirely been confined to the Quitana side of the river, there having been but one case in Velasco. They were without physicians when Dr. Gautier left, and the citizens of both places were about forming an association to relieve the sick and procure medical attendance. A railroad convention met at Mount Enterprise, in Rusk county, on the 10th ult., the delegates in at- tendance being trom Rusk avd a few neighboring counties. Major T. M. Likeng was elected chairman. The object of the convention was to secure the speedy construction of a railroad through this State on the parallel of 32 deg., to constitute a portion of the Pacific road. The resolutions aon instruct their delegates to the next Legislature to vote for a liberal charter to any compen, to construct said road. They also recommend that a donation of six- teen sections of land to the mile be made to the company, to be located in alternate sections.

The following is from the Galveston News of the 28th ult.:—We have been shown a letter from the sheriff of Brazoria, giving information that Mr. R. P. Jones was arrested on the 10th inst. forthe unnatural crime charred ek him some years ago, when he 8 Ci resided in ity. It is said that the evidence was clear and conclusive, but the magistrate before whom be was examined dischar; him, on the ground that we have no law to punish the crime charged. On the next day, however, he was taken before another magistrate, by whom he was sent to jail without bail. He was sabsequently taken out on a writ of habeas corpus, and admitted to bail in the sum of'ten thousand dollars. On Monday last he took poison, and died about two o'clock in the after- noon of the same day. The Austin State Gazette says that Mr. Sam Wil- gon was recently shot in an affray at Lockhart by a Mr. Robertson, and so badly wounded that his life is despaired of. From the South Western American we glean the pO aaNe eee of affairs on our frontier :— The Wichitas have been unfriendly for some | months. During the past year they have sent fre- | | quent messages, stating that they were at war and | did not consider themselves bound Beane teeny Since Major Sibley took a party of Wachos pri- soners, and the tragedy ensuing therefrom, that ; tribe has been hostile. They are now with the | Wichitas and their confederates, the Keechis. Tke villages of thee tribes are in the forks of the Wichita | and Red rivera. They raised corn there last summer. | The Caddos, Ionies, and Andarcos are living to- gether near the settlements. They have lost a nun- ber of horses by the Wichitas. In a taik with Dr. Hill, in September, they strongly recommended the policy ot sending a force against the Wichitas and their allies, offering to accompany an expedition, | end caid that their proximity to the settlements would cause suspicion to rest upon them for the thefts ef the hostile tribes. They have behaved very well for a long time—are ble, and desire to re- main £0, unless molested by the whites. Col. E. 8. C.

Montgomery Hunt, the superintendent of lights on the Texas coast ; and publishes the follow- | ing information in regard to proposed improvements, | furnished by Lieut. Hunt:— | “Three lighthouses are being built in this bay, at the aggregate cost of $25,000. They are in‘ended for the benefit of the internal trade, and will be com- | pleted early in the winter. The lightship has been Be pu and will proceed to her station at once; when lighted, she will form a range of lights with Bolivar light, and thus the harbor may be entered at night by steamers and sailing vessels well acquainted with the channel. Bolivar lighthouse will probably be improved by clevating the tower and strengthen- ing the lighting apparatus. This change is needed beyond all question, and when made the light will be visible at least twenty miles at sea, A lighthouse will shortly be built at the Sabine river,and another at Aransas, appropriations having been made to meet the necessary expense, and the hae and drawings in ae of completion at the .ighthouse Board at Washington. The light at Brazos paumeee was firet exhibited in March last, and has already been of vast service to the commerce of the gulf. At Pass Cavallo there is one of the best lights in the whole United States; it can be seen twerty miles from the bar, and at a distance of one mile its brilliancy is almost dazzling. With such aids to navigation, the coast of Mexico may be made as easy of access asthe coast of the Northern S:ates; bot uotil the coast survey has fixed the position of the headiands and points, and developed the true cepth of the water and character of the bottom, it will be money thrown away to expend large sums for lights. The coast must be surveyed first, and then the proper aids to our naviga‘ion may be farnished.” The New Orleans Tyue Deita has the followin; ee aletter from Ringgold Barracks, date: Oct. 19:— General Smith and staff are still here, but will Jeave in a few Gays for the upper posts.

Thoxgh there appears to be some truth in statements, I am not sufficiently informed to say which party, or both, are to blame. I also met on Lost Sandy, return- ing from a pleasure trip through this country, the Prince de Viede, and Prince of Nassau, a grandson, (I thivk,) of old Prince Paul, of Wirtemberg, who ssed maby years inthe Indian country, and died in Ts52, in Paris, at his hotel near the Place Vendome, At the point where you touch the Blue, met the company of riflemen under Capt.

There heard the reliable statement, as far as one side is concerned, of the encounter between the Paw- nees and Sioux last summer. The former had, for some time, been expecting an attack from the latter, and had collected, together with their families, some sixty miles southwest of Kearny, about four hundred warriors strong, besides their allies, thirty Iowas, sghiniss Ottoes, forty Pottawatomies. sy were attacked by the (eee Cheyennes, Camanches, Kiowas, and a few Sioux, during the absence of their allies on a buffalo hunt, and forming themeelves in front of a deep bending ravine, in which the squaws and children took refuge, they fought from early in the morning until aboot four io the afternoon, when, worn down with fatigue, and on the point of despairing and defeat, they saw the dust rising in the distance and their allies coming ‘sight. On arriving, the Pottawattomies told the ‘2-7 ees to stand back, that they had done enough; and t..y with their pipes in their mouths, and tneir long rib in their bands, they saltied upon the Cheyennes, and so deadly was their aim they suc- ceeded before dark in routing them. The Pawnees killed one hunued and seventy of their enemies’ horres, brought 4 twenty-five scalps, and report baving killed a grew number that were carried off by their enemy to prerent their scalping them— they aleo took a good many horses. The loss of the Pawnees was two men, two Wemen, two boys killed, one taken prisoner, and a numb wounded severely.

[From the New Orleans Courier, Nov. 5.] After our grateful acknowledgments to a beneficent Providence for the complete cessation of the dreadfal epidemic with which our city has been visited, we owe a debt of gratitude to our countrymen, North, South, East, and West, whose liberal subscriptions bave contributed so mach to alleviate the sufferings of our stricken population. Next to the richest plea- sure of doing a good act, the smallest contributor will have the heartfelt satisfaction of knowing that every dollar has been made instrumental in relieving the distresses of the pcre the friendless and the Glen) and that each and all deservea monument of orphans’ tears, which, in their dying hour, will be more valued than “stored urn, animated bust,” or the proudest pile of bronze, or monumental marble. Not to undervalue the munificent donations from abroad, but for our own justification, we must ren- der thanks to those of our citizens whose money, and, sbove all, whose untiring labors were given to the poor during the prevalence of the epidenic. Besides the liberal donations from all classes in money, societies for the parpoes of nursing the sick, and for the care of the orp! , Were organized in all parts of the city; the ladies in and out of the city formed themselves into sewing and other benevolent societies, which still exist to provide for the hundreds of destitute orphan children whom the dreadful scourge has thrown upon us. The society known as the ‘Howard Association,” composed of some thirty persons, were occupied day and night during the whole time, and the amount of labor performed by them seems almost incredible. Some of them, we happen to know, scarcély had one night’s repose for weeks, and many of them had hardly time to take off their clothes for days and weeks. We hope that no false delicacy will prevent them from giving some detailed account of their al- most superhuman labors; not for their sakes, (for they have their reward,) but for the honor of our city, which even in this terrible calamity has not ezcaped the viperous tongue of slander; with some fanatics, not only abroad but at home, it was sa‘d t» be a just retribution for the sin of slavery. We thould vot have alluded to this circumstance, but for the desire to state some facta, which will show who were the persons upon whom the scourge fe}l msi fearfully. With but very few exceptio’s, the vic- tims were not natives of Louisiava, or even of the Southern States, but nearly ajl of them—more tha» nineteen-twentieths -were either youog men fro a the more Northern States, or trom foreign conntri-s. A member of the Howard Association, who has lived here for more than forty years—who was, though but a boy, at the lines on the 8th January, 1815—whore business has made him acquainted with neeny, all of our citizens, informed us that of the cight thousand persens who died this summer he was personally acquainted with but cight. We got no contributions from England—and we wanted none. The London newspapers, however, were mindful of our distressed condition, and ex- | pressed their commiseration by savage jeers. They were welcome to withhold their money, bat the; might have spared their crocodile lamentations and picus horror at the yacht regatta on the seaboard near our city. If such things were so sacrilegious here, how could they ever dare to be way and happy in London, where the average annual number of deaths, from starvation alone, amounts to 13,000! and from that point up in the ssale of misery and poverty the numbers increase in geometrical rati>. We will be pardoned this allusion; for, though the atience of Job was proverbial, we find that when jis pretended friends came round him to upbraid and tannt him, even he replied with no small degree of dignified asperity,fur which he has never been eensured. & We close this article with most unfeigned and hearty thanks to each and every one who remembered us in our dark day, and wi’h the hope that all would do unto others as they would that others. should do unto them. Army Intelligence. (£rcm the Newport News At an adjourned meeting of the officers of Fort Asams, heid on the 23d ult., the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted Whereas, the melancholy intelligence has reached us of the decease of our brother officer, Brevet Captain H. Brown, Virst Lieutenant, Third Artillery, who died at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri, on the 22d ult., of billous fever, we, bis associates aud friends, while mourning each with hearts penetrated with grief an event so deploranle, feel it due to the char- acter, reputation and virtues of the lamented de- ceased, to offer to his memory a united tribute of re- spect and affection. It is therefore recolved, That we receive with the most profound sorrow the painful intelligence of the death of our late beloved companion; and while we humbly submit to the will of Him who does all thiags well, the gloom which ensbrouds our hearts attests the magnitude of our loss. Yet has the grave only claimed his paar remains, to us belongs the memory of hia worth; be it our sweet though melan- chely task to offer to tt our respect. Shcrt as has been our comrade’s career, services faithful aod gallaut had placed him upon a proad tmwence of professional distinction. A grateful country had manifested a just appreciation of his abors, and had conferred upon him well earned hor ors. But not alone in the field of his profession was ccustomed to reap the harvest of laurels; in the social circle he proved bis claim to the general regard, and over the hearts of his companions he was ever viciorivus, chivalric, brave, honorable; with a mind fertile in talent, enriched with acquirements nd polished by familiarity with lettera; in heart arm and generous, in intercourse courteous and amiable. in frieudstyp sinsere and staunch ; he was affluent in all that could conduce to render him suc: cessful as ascidier, accomplished as a gentleman, or beloved as a friend. The bright dawn of his fame betokened the splen- dor of his noon-day. Crowned as had been his eariy years with an abundance of usefulness and honors, these but shadowed forth the mature brilliancy of his developed wnanhood.

MESSAGE OF THE PRINCIPAL CHIEF TO THE NATIONAL lle Iedependent brings us the anaual jettev: mae by John Ross, the priacipal chief of the Cherokee nation, to’the National Council. It isa concise, well written and would serve a3 & seadel to & good many Df-our officials. He says that the year which has elapsed has been one of manifold blessings; the seasons have been propitious to the tillers of the soil, and the footeteps of pestilence and famine have beea far removed trom their borders. He alludes, in appropriate terms, t> the demise of Richard Taylor, Assistant Princi; Chief; John F. Boot, a member of the Executive cil; and Capt. John Benge, of the Sequoyah district. He alludes tothe murder of Andrew Adair and his son, George W. Adair, and gives a history of the circumstances connected with it; and then urges farther legislation for the suppression of mobs and unlawful assem- Dlages. He says that the late delegation to Wash- ington failed in their mission to sell to the govern- ment the “neutral land,” so calied; and he protests Sgainst a claim set up by Thomas L. Cligmaa, on be- half of the Cherokees who remain in North Caro- liva, to a certain interest in the proceeds of said land, in case it should be re-purcbased by the United States. This failure leaves the finances af the nation in an embarrassed condition. One paragraph is of importence enough to be quoted entire: — You will have learned through the public prints that there was a bill before Congress to establish a new terri- tory, to be called the Terri of Nebraska; and al that bill failed to become a law, yet the recollection of the events which led to our removal from the east of the Mississippi river to this country, and of the fact that the boundaries indicated for the proposed territory of Ne- braska would, if extablisbed, encroach on the lands of the Cherokees, may well awaken in our minds serious OP rehensions as to our future quiet and security. it dicg, as we do, the repea ‘ed assurances of the govern: ment, and the stipulations of solemn treaties, that the lands of the Cherokees shill never be embraced within the limits of any State or Territory, witout their com- sent; it cannot be supposed that any such encroachment on our right’ would be deliberately and intentionally made by the government. I woald suggest, however, tae P Opriety of entering a solemn protest against moh an >tem-ion of boundaries of any State or Territory as would '» any degree contravene the rights guaranteed to the herokee pation by the goveroment of the United States. He ore the establishment of a permanent agent at Washington; speaks of the temperance re- formation as having progressed toa gratifying ex- tent; and in this connection refers to the extraordi- nary jurisdiction “assumed by the United States District Court, held at Van Buren, Arkansas, for anaiguing Indians charged with Cigar selling intoxicating liquors to other Indians within the In- dian country. The jurisdiction thus set up is not only of recent finding, but it strikes directly at the root of the vital privilege of self-government. The right to regulate trade and intercourse among the Indian tribes is vastly different from that of regu lating the intercourse of a tribe within iteelf. The latter right we have yielded by no treaty, and there should be some means adopted to test the cause and relieve our citizens from the annoying vexations to which they are subjected by being seized by the United States Marshal, taken from their homes, ex- posed to the inquisitions of a Grand Jury, and to ial before the United States Court, for alleged offen- ces of the most trivial character.” Education is meetiog with increased favor among the people. Yankee SULLIVAN.—Since the arrest of this no- torious bully, in almost every paper with which we exchange we have found expressions of uncommon satisfaction on account of the fact that he was new in a fair way to reap the reward due to his practical and boasted brutality. But as the matter how stands, it would not be very surprising if he should we through the fingers of the law after all. He had his exuminatioa before Justice Tucker, of Berkshire county, on Monday last, when his bonds for appearance for trial were fixed at $1,500. He has sent to New York to procure the requisite seou- rity, and if he procures it, as he probably will, there will be the eud of the case. Nobody can suppose that be will ever show hie head in a Massachusetts court with a fine of $5,000 and the pesitent im- Penatee) 80 long as he can get off by paying $1,500. ell, a8 good citizens, it becomes us to acquiesce in any arrangements which the dispensers of justice see fit to make ; but if a felony is to be compounded in a legal way, we confess we should prefer seeing it done for the benefit of a better man.—Spring field Republican, Nov. 10. SmasH uP oN THE Lake SHORE RAILROAD.— Quite a serious accident occurred on the Lake Shore road last night, and it seems providential that more damage was not done than there was. The train from the east, which was due here at 7 o’cloek in the evening, when about twenty-five miles this side of Erie, ran upon a large tree, which had been blown down and fallen across the track. It being dark, the engineer did not see the tree, although it was of large size—about two feet thick. The locomotive was thrown off, and smashed up into an undistin: - able mass. The engineer and fireman were pitched off, and both braised considerably, but neither dan- eerously hurt. The baggage car was entirely de- molished—the trunks, carpet bags, and boxes ing scattered about and broken up generally. The mai agent, Mr. Douglass, was slightly injured, and his postoffice rather discomposed. The passenger cars were ajl thrown off, and more or less damaged. Many of the passengers were bruised, and otherwise injured, but none eeriously hurt. One or two of the brakesmen were also injured slightly. The train was going about twenty-five miles an hour at the time of the accident. Cleveland Plaindealer, Nov. 10.
