We have already published the result of Van Vleit's mission to Utah. We have now his official report, dated at "Ham's Fork, September 16," and, as it is a document of some importance, we give the most material portion: Immediately upon my arrival I informed Gov.

Brigham Young that I desired an interview, wtacn he appointed tor tne next day. tft the evening of the day of my arrival, Gov. Young, with manv ol the leading men ol the city, called upon me at my quarters. The Governor received me most cordially, and treated me during my stay, which continued some six days, with the greatest hospitality and kindness. In this inter view the Governor made known to me his views with regard to the approach of the United States troops in plain and unmistakable language.

tie ana tne people ot Utah had determined to resist all persecution at the commencement, and that the troops no on the march for Utah should cot enter the Great Salt Lake Valley. As he uttered these words, all those present concurred most heartily in what he said. The next day, us agreed upon, I called upon the Governor and delivered in person the letters with which I had been entrusted. -x In that interview, and in several subsequent ones, the same determination to resist to the death the entrance of the troops into the Valley was expressea Dy uov. xoung ana those about him.

The Governor informed me that there was abundance of everything I required for the troops, such as lumber, forage, but that none would be sold to us. In the course of my conversation with the Governor and the influential men in the Territory, I told them plainly and frankly what I conceived would be the result of their present course. I told them that they might prevent the small military force now approaching Utah from getting through the narrow defiles and rugged passes of the mountains this year, but that next season the United States Government would send troops enough to overcome all opposition. 1 tie answer to this was invariably the same: We are aware that such will be the case, but when those troops arrive they will find Utah a desert, every house will be burned to the ground, every tree cut down, and every field laid waste. We have three years' provisions on band, which we will "cache" and then take to the mountains and bid defiance to all the powers of the government." I attended their service on Sunday, and in the course of a sermon delivered by Elder Taylor he relerred to the approach of the troops and declared that they should not enter the territory.

He then referred to the probability of an overpowering force being sent against them, and desired all persons who would apply the torch to their own buildings, cut down their trees, and lay waste tueir helde.to hold up their hinds: every hand in the audience, numbering over 4,000 persons, was raised at the same moment. During my slay in the city I visited several families, and ail upon whom I was thrown looked upon the present movement ol the troops toward their territory as the commencement of another reli gious persecution, and expressed a fixed determi nation to sustain Gov. Young in any measure he might adopt. runi all these lacxs I am torced to the conclusion that Gov. Young and the people of Utah will prevent, if possible, the army ol Utah from entering their territory this season.

This-jn my opinion, will not be a difficult task, owing to the lateness of the season, the smallness of our force, and the defences that nature has thrown around the valley of the Great Salt Lake. There is but one road running into the valley on the side which our troops are approaching, and for over fifty miles it passes through narrow canons and over rugged mountains, which a small force could hold against great odds. I am inclined, however, to believe that the Mornfons will not resort to actual hostilities until the last moment. Their plan of operations will be to burn the grass, cut up the roads, and stampede the am mats, so as to delay the troops until snow com mences to fall, winch will render the road im passable, snow tal.s eany in this region; in tact, last night it commenced tailing at ort Bridger, uud tiiis morning the surrounding mountains are clothed in white. Were it one month earlier in the season, I believe the troops could force their way in, and they may be able to do so even now; but the aV tempt will be fraught with considerable danger, arising from the hiling up of the canons and passes with snow.

I do not wish it to be considered that I am advocating either the one course or the other. I simply wish to lay the fact be- lore the Ueneral, leaving it to his better judg meut to decide upon the proper movements. Notwithstanding my inability to make the pur chase 1 was ordered to, and all that Uov. Young said in regard to opposing the entrance of the troops into the valley, I examined the country in the vicinity of the city, with a view of select ing a proper military site. luere is no place within lorty, hlty or sixty miles of the city suitable for a military position that is not occupied by the inhabitants and un der cultivation.

Finding that 1 could neither make the purchases ordered to, nor shake the apparent determination of the people to resist tho authority ot the nited estates, 1 lei the city and returned to my camp on Hams fork. On my return 1 examined the vicinity of Fort Bridger, and lbund a very suitable position for wintering the troops and grazing the animals should it be necessary to stop at that point The Mormons occupy the Fort at present, and also have a settlement about ten miles further up Black's Fork, called Fort Supply. These two places contain buildings sufficient tocover nearly halt' the troops now en route fur Uun, but I was informed that they would all be laid in ashes as the army advanced.

Army lor Utah, ort To the Editor of the Whig: Dear Sib Either you, or some of your correspondents, please answer a few questions for an old subscriber. Is silver not a legal tender beyond a specified amount, say $5 00! If silver is not a legal tender, how does it happen that the banks of Louisiana are compelled to keep on hand acer tain amount of specie, and a tender of silver coin is considered in that State a legal tender! I notice a paragraph in some of the papers stat ing that silver is not a legal tender." Congress alone, I understand, lias the right to regulate the currency or coin money- The question is this, if by act of Congress, silver is not a legal tender, bow is it that some ot the states recognize it as such!

day last, our two military companies went to at tend the inauguration of the new Governor, The day was fine, and we learn all enjoyed themselves as well as could be wished. As we had no correspondent there we copy the pro ceedings from the Mississippian: The scene was grand and imposing in the highest degree. Its interest was greatly enhanced bv the presence of the volunteer mill tary companies of our sister city, Vicksburg, the Southrons, under command of Capt. Manlove, and the Sharpshooters, under command of Capt Miller. These gallant corps reached the Vicksburg and Jack-on depot at 9 o'clock A.

and were welcomed by a salute which announced their approach. Marching through our streets and participating in the ceremonies, they attracted universal attention, and their Boldierly bearing, and their discipline elicited general admiration. At 4 o'clock they returned to their homes, having won the commendations of all, and added vastly to the pageantry and eclat of the day. At 1 1 o'clock, the Governor elect, escorted by the joint committees of the Legislature, Gov, McRae, and the military, entered the hall of Representatives, and proceeded to deliver, clear and distinct voice, his Inaugural Address. at the conclusion of which the oath of office was administered by Chief Justice The joint convention of the two Houses was then dissolved, and the assemblage dispersed the gceater portion adjourning to the Executive Mansion, where they paid their respects to the Governor elect, and the members of his house- bold.

The former bill was pre pared by Mr. West, of Holmes, who has proved himself the fast friend and able advocate of this traly noble undertaking, worthy the enterprise a great Stat. The latter bill, to which, since including of the Southern road, all opposition had ceased, was passed by the vote of 19 to 9. The Senate also passed the apportionment with an amendment; and engrafted on the constitution the recent amendment designed to remedy the defects in the former amendments, the effect of which, if adopted by the House, be, unless there is a called session, to exclude the new members elected In October from sublegislative honors. Gov.

McRae, in his message, denied the power of the present body incorporate this amendment in the constitution, and it is whispered that Gov. McWillie entertains the sane view. this be so, and they not alone ia the opinion, it secures the reas sembling early in the year of the new Legisla ture, A local bill in which the citizens of Warren Claiborne counties, are deeply interested, passed the Senate, and when- reached on calendar, will also doubtless pass the House. was introduced into the Senate by Senator Ellet, and authorizes a bridge to be constructed Big Black at Hall's Ferry, eight feet above water, and incorporates the company when thousand dollars of stock are subscribed. capital stock is twelve thousand dollars, with the privilege of increase to fifteen thousand Bradford's bill to engraft the anti-bank (amendment on the constitution, did not meet much favor in the That body seemed consider it very much like strikingan antago when he is down, or kicking a dead lion.

It lost by a vote of 7 to 18. On Monday, but little legislation was at tempted beyond the inauguration of the Gov ernor, -1 Tuesday was a day of interest in the Senate, was devoted to the discussion of the bill to divide the sinking fund among the different rail roads in equal portions. We learn that the bill likely to pass, but not by nearly so unanimous vote as the bill to invest the three per cent. fund. It is opposed by some Senators on the ground that this fund has already been appro priated to the payment of the interest on the Planters' Bank bonds, and that it would be i diversion of the money to loan it to the railroads, The friends of the measure see no substantial argument in this against the proposition, because under the present law the fund is unproductive the bond holders, and is lying idle in the State treasury, and inasmuch as the proposed law requires the roads to pay interest on the loan, and it is limited to two years, it can afford no just cause of complaint to any one.

Ia the House, Mr. Buck's bill to improve the navigation of the Sunflower, was laid on the table by a decided vote. A proposition to re-enact the forthcoming bond law was also voted down by a decided vote, though sensibly and ably sustained by Mr. Martin, of Yalobusha, and Mr. Buck.

It is thought by some that yesterday would not suffice to bring up the arrears of unfinished business, and as to-day is Thanksgiving day, that the Legislature will adjourn over until Friday, and then finally adjourn. Others think it will sit on Wednesday until all important business is finished, and then adjourn sine die. There are now one hundred and fifty-four students in the Mississippi University at Oxford.

We have heard it suggested and hoped by many of our citizens, both in and out of the Methodist church, that possibly, nay probably, the two years rule will be set aside in Mr. Barton's case, and he be permitted to return to the flock and the community that so highly appreciate his unobtrusive christian life and deportment and his acceptable pastoral labors. We hope, it the arrangement is agreeable to Mr.

The Revised Cods aid the Peikters. Much as we deprecate meddling with the Re vised Code, until it shall have had a fair trial, and until experience shall have pointed out such alterations and amendments as it needs, there is cue feature of it which we do think the Legisla ture ought, in justice to a poor and deserving class of men, to correct at once.

What right has the Legislature to ten us, tnat because Mr. A. has a suit pending in court, or because the Sheriff has levied on his property, we shall publish advertisements for him at a price two-fifths less than we charge the rest of our customers for the same description of work!

Miss Flora McFlimset iu Esglahd. In a letter from the daughter uf a noble lord in England to a friend in this city, she says: Is Miss Flora McFlimsey meant to represent a person in the highest class of hie! For, you know, in England the subject of dress fs onetbat is quite ignored in good society. WTe remark that such a person may dress well or the contrary, but amy lady who talked a great deal, or even showed that she thought a great deal about would be set down as a bore; we express it, would be sent to Coven t-y.

Whitaker. Effects of the Pressure." We are rejoiced to perceive that the unfortu nate derangement in our commercial and finan cial circles ia not so general and disastrous' as was apprehended. Although individuals nave experienced much embarrassment, loss and per plexity resulting, in some instances, in entire prostration in business still a large majority our business men stand erect amidst the storm, and are prepared successfully to encounter the future. Indeed, (having reference alone to our own section of the Union,) we are cheered by the belief that we have already encountered the worst, and that a complete restoration of tran quility and prosperity is not very far distant, As regards Mississippi and Louisiana, some timid minds have greatly exaggerated the extent the pressure. We have heard quite sensible business men express a belief that the recent failures indicated the approach of such a pres sure as the country experienced in 1837-8.

Such has never been our apprehension. I There is a marked difference in the condition of the people now. When the desolating storm of pecuniary ruin came in 1837, it found all classesatagrand climax of wild and extravagant speculation. Merchants, planters, mechanics, all. with of course some exceptions, were deeply involved debt This state of affaire extended to our rural districts, and indeed applied At that period, our numerous local and worth, less banks flooded the country with their issues; and, as for gold or silver, we well remember that was difficult to procure even the most incon- derable sum.

The credit system bad, for years previously, been expanded to its utmost capacity, Under such circumstances, it is not at all strange that ruin and bankruptcy engulfed multiplied thousands of our people. is What a different state of affairs have we now! We are not cursed by numerous rotten local banks. Speculation wild, thoughtless apecu lion has not been greatly indulged in; and, as for the masses of our people, the agricultural and laboring masses, we are well assured that they are in a sound and healthy condition. There is no general indebtedness covering our population now. Hence, the suspension of a few banks, and the failure of a few merchants cannot, by possibility, seriously affect the great interests of our section.

In this delightful region of the South, so emi nently favored by Providence, we hold in our hands a mighty lever with which we can always remove apprehensive pecuniary burdens from our shoulders. We produce, in abundance, a great staple, which Europe must buy, and thus our cotton bales will always cause gold and sil ver to flow to us, whether less favored regions receive it or not. So long as the sun shines and refreshing showers descend, so long will the generous soil we inhabit command for us the glittering Btores of the old world. Hence, we say, that we have nothing to fear for the future. The industry and honesty of our people will de velop our natural sources of prosperity.

Perhaps the existing pressure, after all, will not prove an evil. We were rapidly tending towards the sad condition the people were ia at the period of 1837. We had rather too much of the credit system. There was too much specu lation, and an im proper inflation of prices. The little cloud we now see will act as a kind moni tor, and induce our people to check their impro vidence.

There is always danger that seasons of finan cial difficulty will render men too cautious too exacting too selfish. May we all guard against this! Let not uur fears lead us to seal op the fountains of fraternal feeling, and check the heaven-born impulse of charity! The poor and destitute, and all who labor for their daily bread, feel painfully the existing state of affairs. Let us remember the poor, that our Father in Hea ven may remember us. Is our reader a lady or gentleman of opulence, dwelling ia the "eity full," surrounded by all those indications of extended wealth and refine ment which characterize the rich? If so, we pray you, remember the poor who live in the shadow of your mansions. From your luxuri ous table, dispense bread, the staff of life, to poor, hungry children.

And when, at winter's night, you sit beneath the glare of gaslights, and before the warm and glowing grate, and hear the moaning of the cold north wind without. will you not think of the poor who dwell in miserable sheds, and who shiver for want of clothing and fuel! Of course, in making the preceding observa tions, we do not intend to aay or to intimate that our wealthy classes are deficient in benevolence. By no means. A more humane population never peopled a country than those who dwell ia the valley of the Mississippi, and in our very midst Nor do we mean to say that there is a vast amount of destitution in our cities. Still, the kindest persons sometimes forget, to practice the humanity they feel, and, some tinea do not even know that human suffering exists v- in their vicinage.

The Prairie (Miss.) News, of the 11th, says a certain Dr. Graham offered them fifty dollars to publish two advertisements for una year in that paper, which they very properly refused to do unless paid for in The aforesaid Dr. Graham offered us one hundred and fifty dollars to publish his advertisements. We answered him that one of the- advertisements would not be published in the Whig at any price, and the other must be paid for in advance at our terms. beUeved at the time it was a swindle, and think so yet.

The position assumed by most of the self-styled Democrats ol Mississippi in reference to the Kansas questioa is this: That Governor Walker's Kansas policy is ail decidedly wrong; that his official career in that Territory has been a gross invasion of Southern rights, resulting, in fact, in making Kansas free territory; that Gov.

Walker, for his treachery to the South, deserves fthe unqualified condemnation of all Southern Sfiien. The condemnation of Gov. Walker is general and emphatic, mingled with much Jseeming indignation. And yet, those politicians Jof the dominant party who excoriate Governor Walker without mercy, and roar like enraged pons when lis conduct is adverted to, nave not single blow for the President, and when speaking of that august dignitary in connection with fansas affairs, become "mild as cooing doves." Kow, this looks tc us like inconsistency. We lelieve it to be a conceded fact that Governor JVaiker's Kansas policy was approved by the president before that functionary went to the jerritory.

The inaugural of the Governor so jjenerally and indignantly condemned was cer-lainly read by the President in Washington eforeGov. Walker's departure. We say, then, Jhat if Walker 4s blamable and we do not leny the proposition that Mr. Buchanan is still liore blamable, and ought in justice to receive jart, at least, of Southern democratic inaignauoo nd censure. We have always supposed that administration is justly responsible for the iolicy observed in conducting public affairs.

A territorial Governor is but a subordinate ngent nd appointee of the President removable at lis pleasure and is supposed to reflect the sen-Iments of the administration, so long as his acts fcceive even the tacit approval of silence. Has gov. Walker's course in Kansas been contemned by the President! We have no evidence iit at all; and the mere fact that Gov. Walker continued in his office, indicates executive proval of hia action. There is neither justice or consistency, then, in placing all the blame on agent, who carries out his instructions, and ermitting the principal, who gave those instruc-jons, to go "scot free." I Perhaps the sentiment uttered by Hon.

A. G. frown, in a recent speech at the capital, ex- esses the general argument and view of the mocracy. Governor Brown, after denuuueing governor Walker's Kansas policy, Siiid that he lad not been furnished with convincing evidence is yet that Mr. Buchana inndarsed that policy; tnd that when so convinced if he should be Governor Brown, would then condemn Mr.

Jluchunan himself, so far. at least, as that policy as concerned. 2 Well, we shall soon see what the President las to say on the subject of Walker and Kan-las. If the President indorses Walker as we Jhink be will what will the democracy say and llo! Will they become opponents of the admin- tration, for so gross and unconstitutional an nvasion of State rights and the peculiar inter- sts of the South? or will they content them-elves with faint and gentle mutterings as to that ne little act ol the President, and kill the force the weak blow by eulogizing, extravagantly. verything else which the President shall have one in the progress of his administration; we annot, of course, say what the party will do; nt we exoect to have some amusement, at all vents, in witnessing awkard acts of crow shing in reference to this question, on the art of some of our fire-eating Southern demo-rats, when it becomes perfectly manifest that overnor Walker is fully indorsed, and retainec in office.

Some politicians that we have in our I mind's eye are in a fix on this embarrass. ing question. We shall soon see whether the interests of THE PiEir," or their devotion to the the governing feeling wiih thejn. Some of our political associates expect everanee of the Northern and Southern wings the democratic party on this question. We expect no such thing! The democratic army will swear terribly in the bouth; but, Delore the next election day comes, they will not fail to find plausible excuses for sticking to the party.

We boast not of posessing tne spira 01 pro. pbecy.bui we feel well assured that Governor Walker will be indorsed by the fresweni; order to break the growing power of the abolition party, and "stock the cards" for the next Presidential contest This would be a stroke of party policy; and, referring to Mr. Buchan an's antecedents on the slavery question, we doubt not but Governor Walker's course in Kansas finds a ready response in the heart and mind of the President. Perhaps, however, Mr. Buchanan may deem Doiitie to arrange matters ainerenuy.

now, that Kansas is made free territory, the President ight easily, in the most friendly manner possi ble, remove Mr. Walker, with many protest a- iona of deep love and aflection, ana certain thadowy hints of future elevatioft and emolu mentan arrangement privately maae over a generous glass of wine. Then, the Southern Jetachment of "the faithful" wouw nave an easy time of it, and get comfortably out of a fix."

The problem will Soon be solved by the action of the admistration, fcnd then we shall have established Jandmarss to guide our future remarks on this subject.

I How the B-epeai WoBiED. Mr. Cushing, his recent speech at Fanneil Hall, illustrates lie comparative benefits of the repeal of the Missouri compromise to the North and the South, ma follows: I For instance, suppose two adjoining closes, Silack Acre and White Acre, each of the same umber of roods in extent, and separated by a Bivision fence, with two hundred black sheep in 1 1 1 L. i Black Acre, ana tnree nunoreu wane mierp in SVhit Act.

He has mounted the horse of He has determined not to dismount withont a struggle. He thinks he holds the administration by the throat. If they sustain him, the consequences will be disastrous 10 tne couth. South, Well, Mr. South, you have seen from a dis patch under the President's own band, that even if Walker is determined to throw off bis alle giance to a democratic administration, and even if he dees think to hold the administration by the throat, and even if the consequences of sustain ing him vmiid be disastrous to the South, the administration is resolved to sustain him, there not being "one word of truth in the removal of alter and Htanton." Isn't it tolerably liberal en the part of an administration, whose throat griped by Walker's desperate fingers, to wag its protruded tongue in dictating a dispatch lor the vindication of its remorseless choker! What does all the chivalry think! Louisville Journal.

Heavy Defalcations id New York. Some time ago a special committee of the New York Common Council was appointed by that body to investigate the financial affairs of the city. That committee has concluded its labors, and pre sented a report which we find published in detail. The document is a remarkable one, and discloses a long series of official defalcations amounting to millions of dollars. Errors of omission and commission were shown in nearly every branch of the municipal government.

Against a long line of tax collectors there are recorded deficits of heavy sums, of which the dates begin as far back as 1813, the entire amount of default being $7,730,750., Most ot this is now. outlawed, while a con siderable portion of it cannot be collected either from delinquents or their sureties. The over issue of assessment bonds alone, just discovered, amounts to J280.3G5, the amount of unpaid taxes $2,836,670, and the unpaid assessments $4,757,959, reaching the aggregate of What proportion of this immense sum ill be collected remains to be seen. The New York papers concede that the per centage saved will be comparatively trifling, and that the major part of this indebtedness to the tax-burdened citizens must be looked upon as irrecoverably lost. A more perfect system of fraud and rascality as wide spread as it was thorough and uncompromising was probably never disclosed.

No wonder that property owners in New York stand aghast at the prospects for taxation. The Hog Market. We hear that contracts for hogs were made at Lexington, on Monday, at $3 25 cash, and $3 50 four months without interest. Operators here show no disposition to pay over $3 50 gross and $5 net on time. It is not likely that killing will commence before week after next.

The Cincinnati Gazette, of yesterday, says: "A lot ot 800 head Illinois hogs, averaging 100 to 200 pounds, sold on Monday to fill contract at $5 25 per 100 pounds net. The market is dull, there being very little demand except from parties having contracts to fill. Packers have not yet made up their minds what to do, and it is not probable they will purchase freely before the 1st ot December. The bulk of the hogs to ar rive this mouth will be required to nil contracts. our houses were cutting yesterday, and about 1, sou head were pacKed altogether.

The wea ther is favorable, and 2,000 head will probably be packed to-day. In products, a lot of green bams sold at 7c. There were buyers for shoul ders at4, and prime barrel lard at 10, and we heard ol a small mess pork at $14. The de mand is very moderate except for hams." A letter Horn a drover in Woodlord says that hogs were selling there at $4 gross, and wheat at vac. per bushel.

Louisville Journal, JNov. 12. Swamp Lards. The Washington Union says that the Interior department is frequently called upon to answer letters of inquiry as to whether objections could be entertained to the approval of lands before it for adjustment, prior to 1857, on the mere ground that they were not swamp lands, in the circular ol instructions issued to the registers and receivers of the several local land offices, under the act of the 3d March, 1857, it is held that all unadjusted contested cases, so far as individual cases were concerned, are brought to a close; and further, that objections could not be entertained to the approval of land then before that office as selections under the swamp grant, on the ground that they were not lands ot that character. It is further held, how ever, that parlies who have made settlements with a view to pre-emption entries were pro- tected.

This confirmatory act authorizes all parties who have made bona fide settlements under any existing law, to prove up and enter tne lands.

Brigham Young has promulgated a proclama tion declaring martial law over the territory. He claims the right to do so by virtue of his author ity as Governor and Superintendent of Indian Affairs of the Territory, not having been suspended from exercising his functions, and in vir tue of his power under the organic act. He expressly forbids the United States troops from entering the his authority, and bitterly complains that the Mormon people have not been treated by our government as American citizens; that the government has acted against them upon the impulse of misrepresentation, made by persons whose objects were to excite hostility, hnd drive the Mormons from the The language is emphatically hostile to any intervention of United States authority, and the proclamation is here regarded as an open decla ration of war. When Colonel Alexander had arrived within thirty miles of Fort Bridges, which place is occupied by Mormon troops, he received a letter from Brigham Young, through the commander of the Nauvoo legion, which contained the peremptory demand for the troops to leave the territory forthwith; but siying that if they wished to remain until spring they could do so, on condition of surrendering up their arms and ammu nition, and on parole of leaving at that time. In the meantime he would furnish provisions for their sustenance, and offered them all necessary protection.

The letter was accompanied with a copy of the Governor's proclamation and of the organic and local laws of Utah. The bearer of the message further informed Col. Alexander that he was posted, with his troops, at the Fort, to carry out Young's instruc, tions, and expressed the hope that Col. answer and actions would be dictated by the respect which is due to American citizens. A reply was forwarded by Col.

Alexander to the Governor, under date of Camp Winfield, October 2d, in which hesas: "I have given your letter and accompanying documents attentive consideration, and will submit the same to the General commanding, immediately upon his arrival here. In the meantime," he adds, I have to say that the troops under my command are here under orders from the President of the United States, and their further movements will depend entirely upon orders issued by competent authority." Among the documents which have been received at the war office, is a letter from CoJ. Johnston, addressed to Assistant Adjutant General McDowell, New York, in which is confirmed the rumors of the burning of the contractors' trains by the Mormons. He states that Gov. Cummings' eecort was but four days march in his rear, with two companies of dragoons.

He knows of no reason why Col. Alexander should have selected the route by Bear river to reach Salt Lak, except from apprehensions that the Mormons had burned the grass on the shorter route. He adds: "If 1 could communicate with him, (Col. Alexander,) I would direct him to take up a good position for the coming winter at Ham's Fork. The road between this point and Ham's Fork is beset with llormua guerrillas and troops, so that it is doubtful whether I shall be able to communicate wilh him at all."
