After '. clear ing up thS tables on Thursday morning", the Council did the same.- Considering the short time allotted the sessions of the Assembly, and the vast amount of much seeded Legislative labor, we think the members should have been content with ihe days Christmas and New Year. In the Council Gen. Bowcn has given notice of a Bill for the more thorough or ganization of. the military in the Terri tory. This is a matter of more importance than may at first be imagined. When we consider our border situation, the in evi table collision between the Mormons and the United States forces in the spring or sooner ; that Brigham Young as Gov ernor of Utah and Indian agent, has bees tampering with the Indians continually ; that the Otoes and Pawnees of our almost immediate vicinity "only want slight en couragement to arouse the devil in them; that the Sioux and Cheyennes are natu rally treacherous and blood-thirsty, we are very forcibly impressed with the necessity of being prepared for any emergency. What tKe particular features of the Gen cral's BUI are, we are not advised ; but presume from his military position and reputation, it will abundantly answer the purposes designed. - ' The joint committee appointed to in vestigate au matters pertaining to the Capitol Building, has not yet reported. Gov. Cuming has been quite ill confined to his bed since the first week of the ses ion. And as Gov. Izard, who acted as disbursing agent, as to the $50,000 of the Government funds expended, has Teft no papers or contracts on file, by which any information can be'obtained, the Commit tee will be unable to make a full report ' The passage of the "Ferguson Reso lutions" by "both branches of the Legis lature, has brought down chapman's organ n eab of tte members the Council es pecially who saw fit to support them.- The article is one of those low-oned abu sive ones, for which chapman, lockwood tobertson & Co. are famous and exceed ingly well qualified. It is truly astonish ing how almost unanimous the citizens of Omaha are in feeling and expressing their; perfect contempt for the man ro bertson and the balance of the Nebras Jrian company; he has not a friend outside the company: not a citizen endorses the course he has been pursuing while conduct inghis master's individual organ. He often prates about the unpopularity and bad re pute of some of his coieroporaries ! Poor fellow, he thinks all editors fare as he does.. As evidence of his standing in tiis community, we refer to the post-office affair here. Although chapman has again secured his appointment as post master, t fce has not yet received his commission, nor will he, if the wishes of the citizens are at all respected. A remonstrance signed by nearly every citizen of Omaha the list of names measured sixteen fed in length has been forwarded to the De partment The fellow is to be pitied af ter all. Hp gets more "kicks and curses" thn reairy, belongs to him. . He gets paid (?) for allowing his name to be used as editor acting screen, while in fact chapman and his stafT does the most of ine .amy writing. At uie opening at tne present session of the Legislature, he was ly courtesy, and in accordance with the usual custom of Legislative Assemblies, as to newspaper editors, admitted within the bar of each body as a reporter. He lias so shamefully abused hig privileges, that he will without doubt be expelled on Tuesday Irom the Council, and most like ly from the House also. But e have al ready devoted more sfac to this fellow than we intended.

Brigham Young has lately made anoth er speech to the fanatical beings under hh control at Salt Lake, which is replete with blasphemies and treasonable expres sions toward the United States. It clear ly demonstrates that the position now . ta ken by the Mormons is not a lately con ceived one, but has been carefully cher ished far years and erery means taken to secure the success of his deep laid schemes. Ihe events now transpiring in that Territory confirms every one ac quainted with the facts in the opinion that long and serious troublesvvill be the re sult of the difficulties between the "Gov eninent and the misguided followers of Brigham Young. . , . Many emigrants with their trains haye been, destroyed and many outrages com mixed, which have been time and ?gain placed to the hostility of the Indians; when in most cases the work of destruc tion was instigated by the Mormons. In many instances the Indians had no thing whatever to do with the matter the whole plan originating in Mormon hatred and executed by Mormon, hands, While in every attack upon emigrants by the Indians, they were led on by this murderous herd of religious fanatics. They have been allowed time to per tect ana mature an tneir plans, ana op portunity to consumate all their opera tions, by the partial endarsement by the Government of their proceedings in the appointment of their leader as Governor of that Territory ; and while some are operated upon by the influence cf the leaders and the 'peculiar characteristics of their religion, the leaders are actuated by the lust oC power and the desire to establish an independent and seperate go vernment The following extracts from the speech referred to above will show that it is the fixed determination of the Mormons to flbide the result, and that they have calculated upon this state of affairs foryearr : "Suppose that our enemies send 50.000 troops here, they will havo to transport all that is requisite to sustain them over one winter, for I promise them, before they come, that there shall not be one particle of f&rage nbr one mouthful of food for them should they come. They will have to bring all their provisions and forage, and though they start their teams with as heavy loads as they can draw,, there is no teams that can bring enough to sus tain itself, to say nothing of the men. If there were no mrre men than there are in the Seminole nation, our enemies ite rer could use us up, but they could use themselves up, which they will do.. '" . ."It has been asked, have you counted me cost 5 i es, lor ourselves, but 1 can not begin to count it for our enemies. It will cost them all they have in this world, and land them in hell in the world to come, while the only trouble with us is that we ha7e tiro or three times more men than we need for using up all who can come here to deprive us of our rights. .As I said this morning, ten years ago on this ground I stated that we would not ask any odcls of our enemies in ten years from that dateand the next time I thought of it was ten years afterwards to a day. 'They are now sending their troops,' was the news, and it directly oc curred to me, 'will you ask any odds of them ?' No, in the name of Israel's God we tvill sot, for as soon as we ai;k odds we get ends (if bayonets. When we have asked them for breed, they have -given us stones; and when we have asked them for meat, they have given us "scor pions; and what is the use ia our asking any more ? 1 do not ask any odds of these who are striving t deprive us of e very vestige of freetkwand to destroy tfs frcdyj confirm or falsify the nvitter of thb re the varih.- j port St. Joseph SOtb ult - Another very important feature in thia difficulty is the fact that so many of their people are foreigners. For years the tide cf .Mormon emigration has steadily flowed into Cth from the . sea-coast, ihrourrhali; the. "great thoroughfares of travel to thi We:.t. A large proportion cf . these, emigrants are English, ' S wedes, Welsh, Norwegians and Danes.

Young persist in his determination - to resist the United States, it will undoubtedly cost the Gov eminent more than any war we have had since 1812. . Brigham Young is undoubtedly an able man. lie possesses all the qualifications, for a leader of. such u,'peopleand among them his mlluence is unbounded. . lie will,' so long as small forces only are ;sent against him, successfully resist the Gov ernment, and, when, as a last resort, 'a sufficient number of men are sent to crush out all resistance on the part of the Mormons , he will gather his flock around him, and wander toa new country probably New Mexico. It would undoubtedly be far better to call a large volunteer force, let them enter Utah at the three principal points, and extermin ate the whole abominabh horde. Only by this means can thi:j foul , blot upon the escutcheon . of our country.be fully eradicated. ' '. . . . . Endorsement of Judge Ferguson. The Legislative Assembly of this Ter ritory has endorsed Judge Fxnccso as our Delegate to Congress . by passing Jthe appended resolutions by a vote of 8 to 5 in the Council and 21 to 13in the House. Everybody knows, and none better than the notorious firm of chapman, lockwood & co.," that Mr. Ferguson is the squatter's Delegate to Congress, and that he alone is lawtuiiy entitled to the seat ; tut so many plans of self agrandizement , have been formed by the above named compa ny, that it is hard for them to forego these little matters of pecuniary benefit, and consequently they consider any amount of lying and rascality justifiable, provided it will secure them success, and this to jhem' is far easier than a'n honest, straightforward course. Here are the resolutions, and we re joice at this "expression of the sentiments of two-thirds of the squatters of . Ne braska: " : ' . . . . . To the House of Representatives of the United States, in- Congress assembled : Wlicreas, The Hon. B. B. Chapman is contesting the right of Hon. Fenner Fer guson to his seat in your body as Delegate from the Territory of Nebraska, and be lieving it to be a duty devolving upon us as Representatives of the people, to ad vise your honorable body of theif wishes and sympathies in the premises. There fore be it Resolved by the Council and House of Representatives of the Territo ry of Nebraska; 1st, That a very large majority of the people of the Territory of Nebraska be lieve that Hon. Fenner Ferguson was fairly and legally elected Delegate from the Territory of Nebraska. Consequent ly, they will be'slow to believe that efforts from any source will avail anything to de prive them of the Representative of their choice, and a Representative in whose capacity, integrity, fidelity and incorrupt ibility, they have the fullest confidence. 2nd. That the whole people of the Territory indignantly' repel the foul as persions attempted to be cast upon the character of the late Chief Justice of the Territory, the present Delegate elect, charging in effect, perjury, under the pre emption laws of the United States; know ing, as they do, that such charges and as persions are maliciously false, and entire ly unfounded, coming from what source they may, and thly cannot but believe that auch slanderous and libelous charges have been made in the hope or expectation that the right of the Delegate elect to his seat would be prejuiced thereby. 3d. The foregoing Preamble and Re solutions shall be signed by the President of the Council and the Speaker 'of the House of Representatives, certified to by the Clerks of each body, and a copy of the same be forwarded by said Clerks to the Speaker of the House of Representa tives cf the United States, Hon. Fenner Ferguson, and Hon.' B. B. Chapman. Startling News from Oah. A report reached thisxity a day or two ago, that an express rider had passd through Kinekuck, Iv. T., from our army in Utah, bearing the startling Intelligence hat Col, Cook, with his command of four hundred men, whire passing from Bridger Fort to the camp of Hain's Fork, was en tirely surrounded by Mormons; and after a short engagement, were all taken pri soners. It is stated further that the Mormons proceeded, immediately after the surrender, to hang ail the prisoners sparing neither officers nor men. ' The above report certainly needs con- firmationbefore it can be relied upon as correct. We cannot believe the Mormons would have the temerity toinurder in cold blood so large a number of men," nor do wc believe but what Col. Cook, when he found himself surrounded could have cut his way through the ranks of his enemies and especially with nearly all, if" not the whole of his command A few days will "Pop Gees tic Wcssc!." rcbertscn, editor of the Nebraskian, has been expelled, as the following reso lutions will show, from the privileges of reporter of the Nebraska Legislature.

' It is well known that many months ago the position of Governor of the Territory of Nebraska was tendered by the Pre sident to that distinguished statesman, the Hon. W m. A. Richardson, of Illinois. He decliaed it at that time, according to the understanding among the public men here on account of the urgency of his private affairs. Recently, on his arrival at this point, it was again tendered to him, and is said to have been temporarily declined. That is, until after the Message hod been prcnlulged. . A friend of Col. R. informs us that he was indisposed to accept ony office in the gift of the President under circumstances that might apparently commit him to po litical positions he did not feel at liberty to occupy; and that therefore he prefer red to await the rendition to Congress of the Annual Message before closing with the President's offer. - Subsequently, according to the general understanding in W ashington, he has sig nified to the Executive his willingness to accept the appointment, and was yester day nominated and confirmed by the Sen ate. This is under the circumstances, disproof of the story that he is hostile 40 the President's recommendation that Kansas be admitted under the Lecompton Constitution. ; Governor Richardson is. emphatically, the man for the occasion, having had large experience in public affairs, and being, withal, a gentleman of as fine ca pacities tor thus serving his country to advantage,, as any other statesman in the length and breadth of the land. The States ' From Kansas- . W e learn that the Free Soilers of Kansas held a Convention at Lawrence, one day last week to nominate Stat? offi cers' for Kansas" under the Lecompton Constitution. We have not learned who were selected at the convention,' but it was understood that Chas. Robinson was to be their candidate for Governor, and it was thought probable that Stanton would be the candidate for Lieut Governor. It will be seen frcra this that the free soilers are making arrangements to have the government of Kansas in their own hanas if possible, should Kansas be ad mitted as a State by . the present Con gress. ... The election on the constitution went off quietly throughout the Territory gene rally, with the exception of some vague rumors from Fort Scott. A little disturb ance took place at Leavenworth, but it did not result in anything serious. The free soilers steadily refused to vote, and as a consequence the constitution with slavery has been adopted. It now only remains to be seen whether. Congress will admit her. The free soilers had an opportunity of... defeating the slavery clause at the polls,. if they had been so disposed, and were" sufficiently strong to accomplish it ; but as thejr have let the election go by de fault, they can blame no "one but them selves, in obstinately refusing to pass up on it St. Joseph Gazette. .

Gi:xrLr.ME2f : May I make a sugges tion through the medium of your columns, which I think will be -acceptable to every letter-writer and letter reader who may chance to read it ? ' The self sealing envelopes which eve ry body (for the sake of convenience and dispatch) uses, are no protection against either the impertinence or dishonesty of thosewho "hanker" after their contents. Who has not received letters which had evidently been opened, examined, and plastered up again? I know that .many of mine have undergone that treatment, and, between you and me, I prefer to read ray own letters first Wax and seal are the only security, and they are not generally at hand. Is there no remedy? Use ihe postage stamps as a seal on the back of ihe letter. This would be effectual if thepistmasters would stamp their mark over it, which doubtless they would do; and, besides this security, the delicacy of the postage stamp would prevent any'ttl tempt tj remove it, without the certainty of defacement and detection. r If any objections to this plan occur to j'ou or to your readers, I would be glad to know them.

Further than this, he has attempt ed to involve the Fashion in difficulties, threatening to have her fined for not car rying her name', on her stern, well know ing, in the sam3 time, that this vessel is here without money, and therefore in the condition of a ship in distress. He has placed himself in the attitude cf U. b. naval officer, seeking to injure American ship-owners. The following note has iust bopn handed to Gen.
