I FILIBUSTERING DON'T PAY The Baltimore Sun says that filibustering in the United States is net a good Investment upon the capital paid in, and the passion and sentiment expended, Is proved by the fact that while Amer icans have; never yet undertaken a national war that has failed, they bare never undertaken a marauding expedition that baa succeed. The ' Albany Journal " gives the following as proof " McKeazie's Patriot War ' in Canada failed and its victims were transported or shot. Lo pez's foray in Cuba failed, and he perished by the garote. The Sonora expedition failed, and the Dojies 01 its deluded members are bleaching on the Plains.! The Nicaragua expedition has failed ct last. also. Walker is cooped up and starving while bis men are begging their way back home through rew York and Iew Orleans." THE MORMONS IN UTAH. We behve tbe press throughout the Union speaks the same langusgo in reprehension of the monstrous doings at Utah, and of the necessity for firm and decisive measures on the part of the General Government. The Petersburg Intelligen cer ssys: f'We are gratified to cbservs that tbe press, is epcsking out in reference to the cut throats ami robbers of Utah, and demanding; of the government measures that will vindicate the outraged laws of the country, and avenge the bloody criaics that redden the waters of Salt Lake a lake which, if justice should fail to be meted out to the banditti who inhabit its shores, would soon cover up beneath its dark waters as many and as revolting abominations as tbe Salt Lake that now hides from mortal view the "Cities of tho Plain,? which the wrath of tbe Almighty suf fered not to exist. The calls upon the govern nient to act come from all quarters, and from all parties, with remarkable unanimity," The Louisville Courier has the following: It is plain that trouble is to grow out of the af fairs of Utah. No proper laws can be executed there now without the federal authority is back ed by a sufficient military force to execute obedi ence to law. But the question must be met. and delay only adds to the evil. If thore be no laws on the statute books which provide for the extra ordinary state orafrairs In that territory, let laws be enacted that will meet tho issue promptly and enectively. Foul corruption there has its empire It tarnishes our fair fame and must be removed It is a foul blot on our national eschutcheon. De cency and Christianity imperiously demand its extirpation. It has had existence because previ ous administrations had not tbe nerve to apply the remedy. Such a policy was Imbecile if not disgraceful. The country looks to Mr. Buchanan to wipe out the evil ; and we bare confidence it will ba done. Tbe Louisville Journal is equally emphatic : Something decisive mnst certain!? be done. The existing stale of affairs is a burning disgrace 10 1110 country, jr nothing else will answer, we are decidedly in favor of sending out to Utah a r ary Governor, clothed for the occasion with ry authority, and backed by as much of the 3 or (he Central uovernment as shall bene denary to achieve the end of effectually extin guishing Ibis unspeakable national scandal. Congress beyond dispute should boffgleat.no constitutional means, however unusual or arbi trary, of wiping ont so dark and damning a sum upon ine national gooa name. Tho Now York Courier and Enquirer holds this language: We find in tbe Washington "Union of Yesterday an army order withdrawing General Harney from Florida, and commanding him to repair without delay to Fort Leavenworth to assnme the com mand of that spot. Special isntractions will be issued to him at that place from tbe War Depart ment. We hope those instruction will be ol tbe most decided character, and that Brigham Tonng hi bis stronghold of infamy will be taught to know there is law above him, and that tbe whole Mormon bot-bed of pollution In Utah will be broken up to give place to decency and morality. It is tkoe that this font blot on the surface of tbe United States should be wiped out. Gen. Har Bey isjnst the man to meet Brigham Young and deal with bim as ha deserves, if he-' is supported by the Government. We bop-that support wiH be given, and that in It then will ba no shame RECOVERY FROM DROWNING CURIOUS MISTAKE. On Monday last, says the Norfolk Herald, a lit tle boy about 8 or 9 years old, fell overboard at GampbeH'a Wharf, and sunk before any effort could be made to save bim. A pair of oyster tongs were brought, with which tbe body was drawn up after it bad been fifteen minutea under water. A bystander thinking it was one of the children of Mr. Gladey," a barber, in Commerce street, ran to inform bim of it. Mr. Cladey has tened to the spot and bad tho body removed to Lis bouse, and sent for Dr. Wan. M. Wilson, nnder whose care he revivied and was restored to life in a short time. It turned out, however, that 1 the boy was not the son of Mr. Gladey, who cams in from play while the vr. waa at work on bis rep resentative, but tbe son of Mr. Jamea Smith, gro cer, who resides In Cburch st. Shocked and over powered by bis feelings, Mr. Gladey bad not ta ken time to discover the mistake in which he had been unintentionally involved; but bad no cause to regret that he had interested himself, and per haps been the means of saving the life of the child of a stranger.

A PLEASANT PLACE. "John Phoenix," en route for New Orleans, writea the following description of a stopping plaee at the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. W,: -. - ..r- "Cairo is small bole at the" junction of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, surrounded by an ar tirlclal bank to prevent inundation. There are here about thirteen inhabitants) but tbe popula tion is estimated at three thousand, that being a rough estimate of the number of people that were owes congregated there, when Ave trains ar rived before a boat left for New Orleans., They were enjoying the luxury of small pox at Cairo when we arrived ; they are always up to something of the kind j continued succession ol amusements follow.

A PECULIAR LAWSUIT. A young man haa brought a anit at Louisville against a young lady under most peculiar circutn stances. It appears that she resides in the vkini ty of Louisville and has long been considered the belle of the circle in which she lived. Her suit ors were numerous, and many ofiora of marriage were refused. . A short time since she met with one to whose earnest and sincere devotion she yielded" so far as to name the day of marriage. The newspapers cbtonicled the approaching nup tials and the young man lavished the most expen sive presents en hit intended. On tbe marriage eve they attended a ball, and during tbe dancing the lady complained of indisposition, which be coming 'no better fast,' she asked her affianced to conduct ber borne, which he did in Ibe moat tender manner. Arrived at home, they b'dadien with fond anticipations of tbe coming day, which was to aee the 'twain made one But during the night the lady grew worse, and at sunrise she waa ft mother. Tbe young man said that he could never bave been deceivod had it not been for tbe fashion of wearing hoops ; and he brings suit for recovery of tbe value of his presents. TEMPERATURE OF iTHE INTERIOR OF THE EARTH. There is tbe direct evidence of the internal heat of tbe globe derived from the Increase of temperature in descending from the surface. It baa been determined by numerous carefully con ducted experiments !n deep mines that at a depth of one hundred feet variations of the seasons on tbe surface cease to be felt, and that the beat in creases on an average about 1 0 of ?ahrrnbeit thermometer for every 60 feet of depth. The temperature of water from deep Artesian wells confirms the evidence derived from mines. The water of tbe Artesian well at Grenelle, nearParis which is 1791 English feet in depth, is 81 0 when the temperature at tbe surface Is 61 0 . Assnm inf. therefore, that tbe same increase of heat con tiauea in descending, it is easy by computation to determine at what depth tbe beat of boiling water would be obtained; and Mr. Philips conceives that the temperature at lower depths augments in an encreasing ratio. Calculating the increase however, at the known rate of 1 9 in 60 feet, it may be estimated thst ft depth below the surface of only scteo miles all substance must be red hot. v - DEATH OF JUDGE OAKLEY.

EXCITEMENT UjT HIGH LIFE. V Supposed Elopement of a City Father vtlh a Wii if. Tbe CinclnnatfTimea of Saturday saya : -. Great excitement existed this morning, by re pert of tbe elopement of one of tbe City Fathers, a representative of tho Thirteenth -Ward, with a yonng widow, a member of a wealthy f-mi ly. There arc a bflndred rumors afloat Ss to the affair, and It Is almost impossible to arrive at the troth, but the facts seem to be about aa follows: The City Father is a young man. of wealthy parents. He is a graduate of St avief, a&d befng rather a wild boy, his parents endeavored1 to 'settle' him ss soOtf as posit tie. He Was persuaded io marry at an early age, and doiog so, was established in a comfortable business. . He lived apparently trappy ana contented, and a fexf yers ago went into the liquor business with his wife's" brother. A yesr or two ago the partner died, and tbe wid ow, of conrse, took his place in the firm. It issaid that an intimacy soon grew np between the City Father and tbe widow, who was his sister by msr risge. At least, letters from ber to bim, express ing the strongest kind of love, bave been detect ed by bia wife ; and it is known that they have frequently beld interviews, nominally ef a busi ness character, but suspected to be of a different kind. Yesterday morning tbe City Father seemed to take leave of bis wife and child in a manner more than usually affectionate, and leaving the house, apparently for his usual routine of business, has not since returned. Tbe widow, who Las four children, and who resides in Newport, has also been missing since thst time, and the natural in ference it that they bare gone away together. The widow'a children are all just recovering from severe illness. - '. Discoveries this morning confirm tbe suspicion Ail the monies both arties had iu bank, and which is said to a mon it to a large sum, was drawn out yesterday, and papers bave been found in which ihi City Father bas made over to bis wife all his business and other property. It is supposed they took the evening train, last evening, and are now on their way to a sea port with the intention of embarking for Ertrope. Telegraphic dispatches were forwarded this morning to the several citi a requesting their arrest if delected. The affair is distressing to both familirs. Both were favorite children, and this elepemeut, if true, will be a severe blow to their parents. estrange as it may seem, the arrair bas also a political influence. The City Father is a Demo crat, and the democrats have but one majority in the City Council. Without him. therefore, the democrats are uowerless, and cannot take unto themselves the hundred ot so appointments to be made by the Board. The City Father has not re signed, end, of course, bis place cannot be filled until bis term expires.
