They can show that other States with less population than Deseret why may she not be admitted also? not forbid the admission of Deseret, neither on neeount.of the religion of her people, nor _ thelr polygamous practises. It merely provides that a» new State shall present itself with wframe«wort of government that shalt } * hein harmony with that of the United States. _ Byery othor ques tion of eligibility is left to ~ the discretion of Congress. What Congress ought to do with the peti. . tion of Deseret asking adoption into the sis~~ perhood, lis qucstion of morale ae well as of policy. Congress will not care to pursue . “ that course which will give the least encouragement to the peculiar institutions of Utah, or that will tend to-add vitality to what are termed abominations by all civilized mankind eave the Mormons alone. Public sentiment threatens politicians and statesmen in this matter, and this public sentiment co-operating with the natural prejudices of the members of Congress themselves, will be apt to cause their minds to be well exercised on the Mormon question before they come to & final vote. In view of the disorders of the country, if it should be thought polygamy and Mormoniam are ta the Gourse of extinction, and that the erection of Utah into a State will hast n their decay, or udd nothing to their lease of existence, we do not suppose that Congress will, with nothing to gain, do aught that will the Mormons at enmity with as. If Jtah can be regenerated by becoming a mem-. ber of the Union, by all means, she should be allowed admission. Her isolated position is » is quite as reapoctable as she is, ns some of eroment—has ae much education, as much brutality, more self respect and vastly more : Awerqorry or Tus Human Race.—Our ticlea on the “Antiquity of the Human Race” (the preliminary article having appeared yeaterday) in to-day’s paper: They are written by a gentleman of varied scientific and liter. ry attainments, and are short and interesting. It is, perhaps, proper to-say that these artieles have been brought out-by some remarks of ours made in reply to certain strictures in the Pacific on a late looture of Professor Whitney, State Geologist. 14 is possitile we may find occasion to dissent froth the views of “ D. GW," before his series of articles are efided. Meanwhile we commend to the attention of the readers of the TRanscrieT the articles wpon the “ Antiquity of the Hu« man Race,” bvcause the subject will furnish ' wiuch food for thought, and, therefore, will prove an intellectual benefit. {PF Some burglars visited a house in Sac« we er , situated in a country having a large native population to feed, and with less resources in the way of food than any country of equal extentin the free States. The rebels drew the bulk of their staples -. of life from Tennessee, Georgia, Alubama and of the Fedéral forces in Kentucky and Tennginia, the rebels have held Manassas longer than it was prudent. They evacuated Manassas as a military necessity, and perhaps willbe the gainer by the move. Having possession of the lines of railroad for somo distance South, Beauregard is able to transport his treops suddenly so as to fall upon Buell or Burnside, and possibly gain a victory. By destroying the track behind him McClellan will not be able to follow until he has done his worst with the forces of Burnside or Buell, Should Beauregard succeed in an attempt on Burnside he will get command of the railtoad to South Carolina, and might be able to dislodge Gen. Sherman from Port Royal. The Independent argues that no fight need be apprehended at Richmond. ‘fhe mild conduct of our forces in Tennessee has satiafied the wecesh that Virginia can be entrasted to the care of the Mederalists for some time to come while the fight is carried on ‘farther South. THE Mercury states the present— white population of Charleston to be 26,967. Of ‘these, 13,139 are males, 8,411 of whom were born in the rebel States ; and of the foreign born population, which amoants to 4,718, 532 gre are-from the Norghern States, 1,771 from Treland, and 1,429 from Germany. Sterta Nevapa.—Much anxiety is manifested in regard to the safety of this ecean ateamer, which sailed some time since for the northern ports, and has not since been heard from, ta" The Natividad placers in. Monterey county, are being profitably worked -at the present time. The gold is of a lightish color~ ing intermixed with silver, and valued at about $13 50 per ounce. SCANDAL IN THE PRUSsIAN CouRT.—The unfortunate relations existing between the Prince Royal of Prussia and his young wife, Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter, are wel} known. The Berlin correspondent of a German paper, published in New. York, tells the following anecdote. Some time since the Princess went into her husband’s apartment. He happening to be absent, her female curideity prompted her to look into some drawore of his desk. and she there discovered a beautiful diamond bracelet. Not doubting that it was intended for her as a surprise for the Wall to be given’ iv a few days, she said nothing about it. The night of the ball ar. rived but no bracelet was presented to her. But, alas, “ phancy. her pheeliugs” when in the ball room she saw the identical bracelet encircling the wrist of « beautiful Italian Countess! A’ scene was the consequence, Princess wanted to go back to her Ma; indiffereat husbaud ‘said she might go, but couldn't take the youngones. Ma was written-te; husband was reprimanded and the affair was finely patched up. sibilant ABDICATION OF QuEEN VicroRia.—The Sheffield Daily Telegraph has the following from its London correspondent:—" A painful rumor is in circulation to the effect that the. Queen has been so much afferted by the death ofiher husband, that she has expressed the wish to abdicate as soon as the Pringo of Wales reaches his majority, which will be in November next. I bope the rumor will not be confirmed, buf I assure you that it is quite prevalent here, and it is but too much strengthened by the retirement in which Her Majesty livee—-a retirement se complete that her children even are not allowed to disturb it, ove of them at a time only being admitted in her apartments." . paper may be condensed so ss to present this . tory of the earth into four distinet ages or . urday. f ¢ or THe Homan Race.”— man, * f ‘The neeéssity of being brief in order to find a place in your paper, or be read, will require me to avoid any side issues, only as-they may be brought in incidentally, and insintain briefly, and I hope plainly, the above propoBy recent, 1 mean but few if any over six thousand'years. 7 Most Geologists divide the formetive hisperiods, the last of which is called the modern or drift, having ten formations.

Zoology.” Tn-concluding this paper let me remark, that this author is no friend to the Darwin theory, or the belict “that animals were successively created in the order of their rela. tive perfection.” He says it “is now untenable ; since fossils belonging to each of the Sour departments have been found in the fossiliferous deposita of eseryage.” D. GW. SENSATION AT CAMP ALERT.—There was quite a sensation at pat Sage on SatIt seems thata number of privates of Company K, Capt. 8.P. Smith, conceiving . that their late comrade, Jacob: F. Schrum, Was drummed out of the service withoutcause got up a petition on his behalf to BrigadierGeneral Wright, which was signed by forty. nine members of the company. Capt. Smith hearing of the paper, however, concluded to suppress it. He went, it is stated, to private W. B. Welton and demanded it. The latter acknowledged that he had the petition, and atid he would not resist him of his commander used force to take it: from-him. The document wus seized and. burnt up. It set forth that Schrum had always done his duty erg he _ Ly ow foe lei wales man; t no charge ha n t bim; and that pe drummed out of the service without trial and without cause. It has been intimated that Sctriim will endeavor te on fa through the civil courts.— From Saumon Rtver.—The Red Bluff Inde; tof the 14th inst., says: Louis Wineheimer'and some others arrived in town a few days ago, direct from Salmon river.— Louis he had a hard time coming from there, and would not undertake the same journey again for all the gold on Salmon. He says there is gold in the river, but none of the big strikes that have been talked of in the newspapers. The best claim that he had } come across or heard of, was teats to some Dutch boys, who bought it for $3,000, and in two weeks were enabled to pay the purchase money. E thing was completely frozen in, and he had two mules chilled te death. He intends to return again in the king business during the summer months but will take good care that old winter does not catch him on Salmon river Tae Nevapa.—Several of the San Fran ciseo papers express their confidence that the steamer Nevada will soon be raised by the contractor who now has her in charge. The apparatus with which the experiment. is to be tried was manufactured by W. T. and J. Garrett, brass founders, of San Francisco. It consists of four“ camels,” or large air-tight. canvas sacks, etghi feet mm’ diameter and forty feet in length. These “camels” are to be first adjusted under the vease), and then filled with air by means of four ar pumps of seven inch bore and ten inch stroke, connecting by means of hose of the requisite size and strength.

Gilmone of Armatreag . township, Indiana, was hauling pumpkin from a field, he discovered a land turtle, held by one lég between a pumpkin and a stone, where it had been caught by the rapid growth of the former. The turtle had been held so long that the pumpkin had grown. over it, and shaped a portion of the shell on its surfnee. Then the vegetable waa remeved, the prisoner was released from his confinement, and immediately traveled for other quarters. The story (or the pumpkin) is a remarkable one.
