THE MESSENGER. ' Friday, jtumt 3visif. Congress. - - The business before tha two Houses of Congress -pragwsses slowlyThe-only , bill of consequenco, which has yet passed Tiofli Houses, is the Land Bill, which origi. nated in the House of Representatives, and finally passed the Senate, on the 19th inst, by a vjte of 23 to 20. Notwithstanding the violence with which every measure proposed by the Whigs for the relief of the country, is opposed by the opposition, who Bcem determined to throw every obstacle in the way that lies in their power, they seem to be approaching a crisis when" action may 3 be expected: '" The ' Fiscal " Batik. JJill Was? expected to be taken out of Committee of the Whole on the 29th inst," and finally acted on in the Senate on the 24th. There : is much speculation, and some doubt, as to . its fate. Somo scenjto think it problem otical whether it wilt ever pass Congress, and intimate if. it should,, that there still exist, doubts whether the President will sanction it. When there are eo many dif ferent opinions entertained by persons near the seat of Government, who scen to be acquainted with the views and objects of members, It necessarily leave the matter in doubt ; but we think the better opinion is, that the bill as reported by Mr: Clay in- the Senate with some slight alteration, will pass both Houses of Congress ; nor can we see any grounds on which to fonnd an opinion that the President will refuse to give it his sanction. - It had not been decided, at our latest advices fromWashington,whctherthe Bankrupt law should be acted on at this : session ofnot The Fortification Bill has passed the House of Representatives by. a vote of 149 to 90. We discover also that a Bill lias been reported to the Houscr im posing a duty of 20 per cent, ad valorem on various articles now duty free. We are informed, from a source entitled to credit," that Congress will, probably, ad journ about the last of August. The oppo. sition,in both Houses; seem' disposed to protract the session as much as possible j it is thought, with the design of rendering the called session unpopular. The Whigs haw the power, and we hopo will , before they adjou rncarry th roujjhjrtJLt he i mppr. tant measures proposed by the Administra, tion, for the relief and prosperity of the people .- - ; - Prosperity of iliia IJ. States. Ti New Yprk Journal of. Commerces one of tho best papers of tho kind in the Union, lately contained an article on the fruits of the United States1 soil, which con tained some interesting statistics taken from the official returns lately made 'to the Go vernment. The following is an abstract of the article, and shows that beyond doubt the United States JsatpEescjit-tho--rnost growing and prosperous country upon the face of the earth: ' ' r " It teem that the sixteen million of people who live in the United State, possess lumber to the value of eleven million of dollar, which with brick and etone of an incalculable amount, constitute the material for their dwellings. The income of their orchard ia upward of six million of dollar vaJue.--They bad more than twenty-six million of'pounds of wool to convert into broadcloth, blanket, and hosiery, &.en more than a thousand million pound of cotton to manufacture into une ful and necessary garments, and moro than three hundred thousand pounds of silk for elegant and fancy dresses. .? The amount of their flax and hemp united was nearly a million of tons. For food we had last year, mora than seventy-three million of bnsliols of wheal, eial to more than fourtoen million of barrels of wheat flour. Also, more thin seventeen million bushel of rye; upward of six million bushels of buckwheat, and three million bushels of barley; Tlie value of poultry that strolled about the yards and enclosures was iuorc than nino million of dollars. Tho number of swine was upwards of twenty million, aid the number of sheep more than nineteen millionj These people of the United State had the last year, more than three hundred and seventeen mil. lion bushel of Indian corn ; more than 99,000,000 bushels of potatoes, and upwards of thirteen mil lion neat cattle, which furnished them milk, but. tor, and chofac, etc., to the value of mors than thirteen million of dollars. They bad at their command the labour and services of more than million -of hnrser and mutwrtrid"uwards of an hundred fend if million bushel of oats, vid nine million ton of hay, on which to feed the md thrir other cattle. To sweeten whatever seemed bitter or acid to tho taste, thev had more than two hundred and eight million pounds of "gar. i neir mna yieidea to inera, lor uieir in dulgence, more than seventy-seven million pound of tobacco, and upwards of two hundred and seven , ty thousand gallons of win with which to cheer their heart. Such is the income of their soil only. And when we think of this in connection with our vast resource, have we iy reason to despond ,J though financial cloads do " lower upon our land?" Death by Lightning. A young man, by the name of Benjamin Holt, was killed by lightning, on tho 13th instant, on the farm of Samuel King, in Henderson county. He was alone at the time, having been at work in the field some distance from tho house, It appears that lie had, for the 'purpose of i-being protected from a shower of rain, retired to a tree, down which the electric fluid descended, and terminated his earthly existence. This is an additional proof of the danger of taking shelter under a 'tree in a thunder, storm. The lightning is always attracted by tlie highest object in the imdiate ti ciuity of its descent 0f the character of the young man, or his state? of preparation for so sudden a transit from time, wo are not informed.

" Five in number first came to Jackson county during my residence there.- They took their lodg ings ata tavern in Independence (the county scat). Not being a tavern-haunter myself, I formed no personal acquaintance' with them. They lived somewhat retired, (having a hired room) for sere, ral week ; presently, however, they made some attempt tojjjcgotiate with the neighboring Indian, whom they style their brethren the Canaanites. Cuing repulsed -by the agents, thoy secured seve ral tract of land in tho vicinity of Independence, and a few lot in town. About this time they began to como on by considerable number from the east, and settle in little hut which they built on the lands which had been bought, which were cut in very small tract for each family, under the name of an inheritance. . Independence being the then designed site lor their New Jerusalem. All except their leaders, being poor people, and of a low class, they employed us .many as they needed in building the Lord's rrmuug moe, as iney call it, and the balance were compelled to hire out to the citizens, in order to get sustenance for them selves and families. About this time they opened a store, which they called the Lord's store; and began to publish in the Lord's printing office, a pa. per entitled "The Evening and the Hlorning Star" V. Philips editor. In tins appeared a great many of their pretended jrerelationfrom the Lord, shewing them, (the Mormons,) to be the rightful inheritors of the land of Missouri. 1 Their number now growing, both from emi gration and proselytes, and finding no room in the vicinity of Independence, (about this timo I mov ed to Clay county,) and finding vacant lands from 8 to IS miles off, on Big Blue river, they pretend-! ed to have received arTeynlation leading tbem -to ) that part of the country, for the erection of their Jfcw Jerusalem. There they settled in consider able numbers,' growing all the while still more bold in the publication of their pretended revela tions, as having in them promised immense armies for the final subjugation of their enemies (the citi. zena) and final and complete possession of their in. hcritancc, the land of .Missouri. The citizens hav ing, in the mean timo, become tired of the repeat ed pilforing'of their poor, and finding legal redress troublesome, if not impracticable, treated a few of them roughly. Thisj although their leaders would condemn the pilferring) caused them to show still more of their pretended authority, and here the citizens called a council, and agreed to have no more dealings with the Mormon, either buying or selling. This reduced them to straits, and enrag ed them very much, so that the Mormons, profes sing to bo under the influence of inspiration, and under the immediate, protection of the angel of God, defied tlie citizen to touch or injure them or their property ; arid about this tiirle, the Mormon on Blue river marched their force, in obedience to a pretended revelation, to take possession of In dependence by force. But I think after Ihe rcvat lation came out. and before the above inarch, the citizens collected in sufficient number around the " T t v.-J." 'i'. - f Lvilr nnupMinn of h mimhfir of tlir.ir nancrs. &c. Now, the citizens being by this limo apprised 4f the approach of the Mormons, collected their forces and repulsed them without a fight. Then a skirmishing, irregular fight ensued, in which sev eral were killed on both sides,' and the Mormon put to flight, making their escape by creasing the Missouri river into Clay county, in to my neighbor, hood. It was fall, and the fast approach of winter finding a number of fellow-beings without homes or the mean of sustenance, called to exercise the clemency of the citizens of Clay county for them. Here thcr wintered. All that could labor, were employed bat many were gratuitously fed through the winter. - i M Having, however, leen received here with the express understanding and agreement that they would leave the county whenever a respectable majority of the citizens became dissatisfied, they remained some months pretty silent, except their threat against the citizen of Jackson county-s-enerallv countenanced 'as obiects of nitv. Pro- Psently Emigration began to flock in from the east. I neir prophet, Jo Smith, bad mlormauon or ineir defeat in Jackson county, and came- on with an armed force of several hundred for the purpose of reinstating them in their possessions in that conn, ty by force. .. This exeited considerable alarm, both with the citizen of Clay and Jackson. A consultation of tlie citizens of Jackson county, by a chosen delegation, washeld with the leaders of the Mormons, in Liberty, Clay county," at which the), citizen of Jacksor., and the Mormons, came, open terms of agreement,' an) Smith returned to the east, leaving most of his army in Clayeounty, after having appointed a few apostle. 'Through these, they began to grow bold agia in their threats of possessing their inheritance, and in their denunciations of the dreadful calamities that would befall the citizens of Clay county too, if they did not subscribe to the Mormon faith, ite. These threats arouses ths citizens to very great dissatisfaction, which gave rise to a general meet- Ing ef & Mormons and citizens, 1L result of which was, ths Mormon at a given time, agreed to leave the country. They then went and form ed Caldwell county, where they prospered and multiplied by emigration, ontuV (I suppose,) they considered themselves strong enough to take the county and forming themselves into bands, one called the Danitea, or Destroying Angels they commenced on Daviess county, entering house armed, and disarming the men by taking away their guns, took off such household goods as they wanted drove off tlie familv. and set are to me house, movintr their nronertv. thus taken, to a for tified bend of Grand river for safe keeping; and in more than one case, drove women out of door to wade through snow several inchea deep but a few days after the birth of tlie infant which she was compelled to carry in her arms, and leave her to the mercy of the merciless Vanites, 1 nus iney did without any provocation that I know of, upon which the militia were ordered against them; and finding themselves out numbered, they proposed a treaty, in which they finally succeeded, and prom ised to leave the State at a given time, and did not come to a e-enerat ficrht 1 vet several on both side had been killed before, and during the time of making the compact or treaty. " Now they are gone--and a I have written the account in quite an abridged way, I have no doubt but many important circumstance are left oat, winch might make this appear less interesting ; yet the facts here stated as to their crimes, I will say are not cxacrcerated and if you request it, I can produce many affidavits of respectable citizens of Daviess county, specifying their crimes separately, and send thtm to you. . --. . V As to the Mormons attempting to influence the black, is a matter that must stand upon circum. stanlial evidence, a negro testimony is Inadmis. sable; but this I will say, that it is here generally believed. . " N. B. In addition to the Danites, another band was employed in taking and' hauling off corn, where they could find it, and another in driving off stock in the same way, and two other bunds in smaller matters.

The corn aws have had their wickedness pretty gen. eraHxesMbitgdiaJTMeopleare determin ed. - l hey thmk tbat they have argued this corn law question long enough. The pres sure on the operative multitudes, is becom ing too strong and threatening for prolong, ed reasonings. Tlie season of action is arrived, and it cannot oomo more favoura bly for the national interest. The announc ed purpose of tho Queen's Ministers, is aa the sotting in of the tidev Lot it rush on, and sweep before it all the defences of this inhuman monopoly. If the people are truly awake to their own interests, such a result is inevitable. If that national enthusiasm which their determina tion must produce, be but evinced in time by ajcoplo awakato their own rnost vftal concerns, we cannot but augur lhe happiest results. The returns of the political con test now raging there with bo much' viru. lence and bitterness, will bo found to be pro. ductive of tho deepest anxiety; end for the melioration oLthe condilioa of hoc multi tudes, let us hope, for the most auspicious results. Yet so strong has the aristocracy planted its heel upon all things in -English Institutions, we may not bo too sanguine. If there could bp any thing like free trade between the United StatcsTindEnglahaVso far as our wheat and corn are concerned we could not only bo clear of debt to that country in a very short time, but we could bring to tho agricultural qistrgta of tlieJLL States, in less than six months, more than ten millions of dollars, for the sale of our pent-up products, which 3 not now com mand a fair price.
