THE MORMON VVAR.
Correspondence of the Republican
\VArtsAW, Sept. 26.

Correct information has now been re-
Ieived that Gen. Hardin is on his way to
Hancock county, empowered by the Gov.-
to settle, in some way, the difficulites be-
tween the Mormons and Anti Mormons.
"We have the fullest confidence that we
shall get rid of our troublesome neighbors
in a short time, and that peace will be
once more restored to our country. The
surrounding counties are now holding
meetings, and appointing delegates to meet
on Wednesday next at Carthage, for the
purpose of settling the terms and time
when the Mormons shall leave, and remove
to some country more suited to their pe-
culiar notions than our own. After hav-
ing arranged the terms and time of re-
moval, the adjoin'i’u’g towns will furnish, if
necessary, a force sufficient to carry out
their deliberations, but in the meantime
the citizens of Hancock will have their
property carried off by Backenstos’ trav-
elling posse. Carthage is yet under the
control of this petty tyrant and his Mor-
mon abettors.

Joshua Cole, who, it was supposed, had
been murdered, has been found, safe‘, and
is at home. A report in circulation, com-
ing from the Mormons, that M’Bi‘atney,
the young Irishman who was cruelly butch.
ered, begged and prayed for’ life on his
knees, after the Mormons came up to him,
but that the only mercy he found from
them’ was a bloody death.

Later.—-Gen. Hardin willbe in Carthage
to night, with a small portion of the troops
under his command. Backenstos has left
Carthage with his posse for Nall'.‘00'.

THE STATE PRISON.-

The New Haven Palladium relates the fol-
lowing circumstance, concerning Robello, the
maniac, who killed a boy in Litchficld county.
He had been kept constantly in his cell,and some-
times made torave for the amusement of spec-

tators.

Capt. Johnson saw that Robello was
not aresponsible being, and yet that he
was a man, and worthy of his sympathy
and of his efforts to restore him to health
and consciousness. He endeavored to
sooth him, and invited him in tones of
kindness to leave his cell; but the maniac
trembled with fear, and shrunk back into
the corner of his dismal dungeon. The
invitation was repeated and the maniac
grew excited, and raved and foamed at
the mouth with rage and terror. Capt.
Johnson then tried another plan. He
spread a table with all that was inviting to
the eye and taste, and when all was ready
he took a seat by it, threw open the door
of the inaniac’s cell inviting him to come
in and dine with him. Robello gazed
wildly, but silently on the well spread
board, and’ on the warden. The invitation
was repeated,. and the prisoner at length
cautiously advanced, took his seat," com-
menced his meal, and after it was finish-

ed he returned quietly to his cell, but an giving them 15 minutes to deliberate. At

altered man! He has continued. to - ‘im-
prove by this sort of treatment, and altho’
his eye is yet wild, he is comparatively a
sane man‘. The kindness of the Vllarden
broke the spell which encbained his sen-
ses, and he is now qruict, obedient, ration-
all He had been allowed all necessary
liberty for the full recovery of his heal-t-li,
and‘ he does not abuse i-t——and when the
Vvarden suggests to him that it is time to
return to his cell, he readily goes into it.
\Vhat a triumph is this for the new \Var-
den! In what a contrast does it place
him towards the old one.

./Ymerican ..7pples.—Robert L. Pell, Esq.
of Pellliam, Wes-tchester Co., has an or-
chard of twenty thousand apple trees, all .
bearing N-ewtown Pip-pins. By trimming,
and the application of the best inanures,he
has brought the fruit to unusual size and
excellence. The apples are picked and
packed in barrels without being rolled or
jolted in carts, and so :1-rri-ve in. t-he very
best order for shipment- Last year, they
were sold in. London. at twenty one dollars
a barrel, and the merchant to whom they
were consigned, wrote that the nobility
and other people of great wealth had actu-
ally bought them by retail at a guinea a
dozen ; which is some fort-‘y-five cents an
apple. Mr. Pell has from three to four
thousand barrels of the apple this year,
which are sold as fast as they arrive in
market, at six dollars a barrel, and are all
shipped to England. It is quite a business
for one of our commission merchants to
dispose of the produce-of this noble plan-
tation.-——Jour. of Com..

will not deposit his ballot for the meas-
ures which he believes to be the only safe-
guards of our country’s prosperity,and for
the men who will cai ry out those princi-
iles. \Ve call no man a true Whig, ‘who
will lose and has lost sight of these du-
ties, and gone offin chase of an ignus fa-
tus which leads into the deep quagmire
of Locofocoism. Such has been the con-
sequence, so far. Had it not been for the
thousands of men, who did thus and V0-
ted for that unfortunate man, James G.
Birney, Henry Clay would now be the
President of the United States. V/Vhigs
they were once, but VVhigs they ceased to
be when they embraced political aboli-
tionism. Those same men we do desire
togsee again under the old standard: and
when t'hey leave folly and form again in
the ranks where they should be found, we
will call them whigs again, but not till
then.

pears to be based on some words spoken
by Judge E. at the trial of Boughton, over
which he presided. The letter is post

This shows a \Vhigs gain of four members, and
.1 loco loss of ten. coinpared with the old Cotigrc.-ts;
when elected. Sundry clumges were subsequently
made. mostly in favor of the whigs.

There remains to be elected 8 members, viz.
4 from Mississippi, 1 from Flor da, and 1 (to fill
vacancies) from each of the States of Louisiana,
New llampsliire and Massacliusetts as the
choice is by general ticket there is probably but
little doubt of the election of 4 administration
members from lrlississippi, perhaps one in Lou-
isiana and one in Florida. If the vacancies in
the New Hampshire and Massachusetts delega-
tions are fillcd, we may perhaps, put them down
as locos. In case these vacancies are not filled the
House will be divided politically as follows:

Lg/m:/i Law.——-\Vc find the following in

is reported that two men named Redman,
brothers, with five others, were recently

charged with the murder of Col Davenport.
Suspicion was strong as to their guilt.—
VVe have heard rumors that Lynch law had
been inflicted upon both the Redtrians
since their arrest—that they were both
hung.”. The wliole‘seve'n were Mormons.
Poetry.——Verily, this is an age ofpoetry.
No one now a-days thinks of expressing
his thoughts in prose. It is altogether
too cold and sober. Thelife and fire are
wanted. A thorough going teetotaller—
just pledged, though black as two o’clock
at night——thus expresses himself on the
subject of rum selling:
“I’d sooner black my visage o’er,
And put de shine on boots and shoes,
Than stand wiiliin the grog shop door,-
And rinse the glasses drunkards use.”

.Mut2°ny on board Brig Oscrir.—The Sag
Harbor Corrector gives an account ofa mu-
tiny which occurred on board the Oscar,
Capt. Ludlow, of that port. It took place
on the 18th of August, while the ship was
lying at the Island of lslha Grande. The
cook and three seamen approached the
quarter deck armed with knives, which
they had sharpened for the attack, with an
ax, u handspike and pump brake. The
Captain, who was armed with a gun, warn-
ed‘ them not to come upon the quarter
deck. They replied with threatentng lan-
guage, and‘ dared him" to fire ; and at the
same time came aft of the mainmast, and
approached the Gaptain. He then fired
and killed the ring leader. The cook then
struck at him with his ax, but receiving at
the same time a blow over the head from
the musket, his blow was rendered inef-
fectual. The mutineers then retreated
forward, and were secured and confined.
The man shot was shipped at St. Helena

The trouble is, the-

sed 257. The Times of that place says that “it
-was not a contest, as is well kuown,for or against
:the men whose names were on the respective
tickets; the issue was made solely with refer-
.ence to the further existence, or total prohibition
=of drunkard manufactories. A majority of the
‘voters present, decided that it is best that they
should be kept up. and to this decision the oppo-
[nents of the traffic must, however reluctantly,
,‘submit.” The election for select men takes place
in November.
In Brook-lielil, the loco ticket succeeded as us-

ual. Commissioners in favor of granting licen-
ces were chosen by 60 majority.

PHILADELPHIA R1o'ri:ns.—The authorities of
Philadelphia have found at length that theleui‘-‘
* ent measures hitherto taken with their horde of
fire rioters,~ has only had t-he efiect to lead from
bad to worse, and seem‘ to-havearrived at the
conclusion, that the peace and" security of the
persons and property of that ill-fated and notori-
-ous city, can be promoted by more stringent treat-
ment ofits rowdy firemen. Accordingly 13 of
that ferocious class, were, during last week sen--
tenced as follows!

Cook, Bennet, Fricken and Taylor, $’l
fine, two- years’ imprisonment, and $500
surety. 1-lymer, Winfield and Mead, $1
fine, one y-ear’s imprisonment and $500
surety. _Forsylh, $1 fine, one year and
nine months’ iuiprisonment and $500 sure-
ty. M’Kenny, $1 fine, nine months’ im-
prisonment and $500 surety. 'lhe two
Stainrooks, $1 I ne, eight months’ impris-
onment and $500 surety each. Yeager
_and Young, $1 fine, each, five months’ im-
prisonment and $300 surety.

The prisoners are all young men, sever-
al yet'in their minority, and a majority of’
them belong to respectable families whose’
distress may be imagined but can be in‘
reality, little conceived of. . The whole’
thirteen go to the Mayomeusing prison.-

old loco foco castle, which has stood ever since-
the memory of the oldest inhabitants, has re-
ceived such iremendous assaults from the liatteré
ing rain of public sentiment that it has tottercd;
and fallen! The Whig banner was flung‘ to the
breeze on the 6th and victory perched upon it.

Judicious, but energetic Temperance men were
elected ccmmissioners, by a vote of two to one.
The first question which tried the strength of
parties was the election of Town Clerk, and the-
first balloting showed the following result.
