Slavcrr and-the Churcbet. -
It ia known lo many of our readers,
that ia the year 13-14, the Methodist
Church of this country, split in two upon
the subject of Slavery. For years after
the separation, they wore in litigation,
respecting Church property lothe amount
of nearly one million dollars, which was
decided about three years since, in faror
of the Cruirca South. No benefit what
ever, has resulted from the 'separation,
bul much evil. If the right Liud of a
eparation had taken place, each branch
of the Church, would have been at peace
among themselves, at least. But as it is,
they have not only been at war against
each other, North and South, in the Courts,
in their Journals, and we fear in their
Hearts but tbey hare been in a state of
strife, contention, and anarchy, among
themselves, ia each of the two branches.
In the Northern Church, non-slave-holding
was not made a condition of mem
bership, although they separated from the
South, on that account. Hence, on the
border, ay Missouri, Kentucky, Mary
land, Virginia,' and Delaware, many of
the Slaveholders retain their connection
with the Northern branch of the Church.
The extremists of the Church North, pro
test against the continr tnce of these Slave
holders in it; and in all their Annual and
General Conferences, there is much acri
mony exhibited between them, and their
more ' conservative brethren, respecting
this matter The conservatives, with -hat
that little Methodist giant, Abel Stevens,
of New York, at their head, contend that
the Church has no conititutional right to
remove t these Slaveholders ; and, that to
remove them constitutionally, the c insti
tution must be altered. Said instrument
has Been passed around to all the Annual
Conferences,' by the Bishop, and failed of
genhig a, twc-tJhird rote,' which was ' nec
essary m order to its alteration. ; The re.
suit of this vote, shows ' the Methodist
Church North,' to k i Slavebolding
Church,-r-constiiutionally so, and the om
nipotent, majority refusing to alter it, in
that respect. - The ultras are getting des
perate ; even daring to wag their tongues
ageing certain of the Bishops, as abettors
and defenders of what they call the sum
ofeJl villoinit. The next General Con
ference, which meets in Buffalo, in I860,
will be a stormy time. ' The ultra men,
wilt .either rule or ruin. If they ennnot
pass a law, constitution or no constitution,
to oust aveity Slaveholder, they will come
out from among ihem. If they do pass
such a law, the border brethren will set
up for themselves, so , in either, .or any
event, we shall have another split on this
subject, in the Northern Church.
;In the Southern branch, they have been
a little more united, bul still the seeds of
discord are in the soil, and the noctious
weeds ef angry discussion often appear.
Last week, the General Conference of
the Church South, the highest and only
law making body they have, expunged a
a rule , from their Discipline, that has
been there since the days of Wesley, by a
vote of ) 40 to 8, forbidding "the buying
and selling of men, women, and children,
with an intent to enslave them.
Quite discussion sprung up, evidently
showing that there was much opposition
te expunging a rule that had so long ob
tamed. The enect will be to raise up a
party of progressives who will contend
for Its restoi ation. Thus will the war
progress, right in the very heart of Africa.
The fact cannot be disguised, that the
American Churches, as well as many of
the religious Benevolent Societies, are at
this moment, on the verge of . anarchy
and ruin, growing out of this subject.
Baptists. Methodists, and New School
a
Presbyterians, have already split in two
and yet their views are more numerous
and divergent than ever. Other denomt
nations have to study, to their wits end
in' their legislative assemblies, to keep
down the over-heated fires of angry dis
cussion. The American Tract Society, a
few .week since, showed two parties
nearly equal ia numbers, as belligerent
and hostile as. men could well be. Church
es all through the Northers and Eastern
Slates, are closed, as (be result of diverse
opinions and bitter feelings, on the subject,
of Slavery. A11 through the Northern tier
of Slave Stales, the soodition of things is
not much better. The fact cannot be dis-
puised. that things are tending UH toward
th two Doles. . If such atate of affairs
contiue, and we see no possible way
verting them, the ( watchwords of the
Church, must be, 'North and South!

Great West.
History cannot furnish a parallel to the
rapid and unexampled growth and pros
perity of our Western States and Terri
tories. The past few years have increas
ed the brilliant luster the of Star Spangled
Banner, in the admission of free Territo
ries, as sovereign States in the federal
compact, and the future is ominous of
broader accessions to the strength, wisdom,
and beauty of this model republic.
The fundamental laws of right, upon
which the principles of our Government
is established, and the majesty of the peo
ple asserted, in checking and controlling
the reias of legislation, is a strong guar
antee of the perpituity of in free institu
tions. The enlightened world looks on
with admiration at a spectacle so grand
and sublime. It kindles warm and ar
dent aspirations in the breasts of toiling
millions, for their emancipation tfom des
potic rule. It opens up avenues to the
honest and industrious, for the exercise of
their skill and enterprise. It affords a
shield of protection to the oppressed of all
nations and clime, and secures to them
the inestimable boou of "life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness."
The Great West embraces within ' its
limits, the necessary elements to ensure
the basis of a vigorous and permanent or
ganization of States, unsurpassed in min
eral and agricultural resources, and its
gigantic wealth and importance can never
be fully appreciated, until developed by
the indomitable perseverance of the Amer
ican character. California is unfolding
her rich treasures of gold, Lake Superior
her vast and inexhaustible supply of cop
per, Missouri her mountains of iron, and
the lumber regions of Michigan, Wiscon
sin, and Minnesota, are furnishing the
world with the products of their mighty
forests, Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska, can
boast of their fertile hills and produtive
valleys, and but a few suns will roll over
our heads, when the connecting link will
be formed between the Atlantic
and Pacific shores, and the car of civili
zation will move onward in its career of
usefulness, dispelling the gloom of ignor
ance, irradiating the face of animated na
ture, and carrying in its train the princi
pies of our common Christianity.
While standing upon the broad platform
of equal rights, the West has emphatical
ly declared herself opposed to the Slavery
propagandiam of the South, and in defense
of her cherished principles of truth and
liberty, she stsnds triumphantly as
beacon light to the civilized world. In
a few years the destinies of a continent,
will depend, to a great extent, upon her
wisdom and guidance, her course must
be onward and progressive, and if faith
ful to the trust confided in her thousands
yet in darkness, will be illuminated ly
her divine radience, and seek shelter un
der her glorious eanopy.

Arrival of Col. Kane In riorencc
An Extra, issued from the office of the
Florence Courier on Tuesday evening
June 8. informs us of the arrival at that
place of Col. Kane and his party, direct
from Camp bcott ana salt Lake. It tays ;
rTd-day about 1 o'clock Col. Kane arri
ved in our city, under the escort of Major
H. Egan, hue agent of Livingston, Kin
cade & Co., of California. He left Camp
Scott on the 16th of May, to which place
he had returned with Governor dimming
after a visist to Salt Lake City. From the
company we gather the latest and most
reliable news from the Mormon settle
ments, and from the army stationed at
Camp Scott.
Governor Cumminz had just returnod
from a visit to tho Southern settlements,
of the Mormons, whither he had gone
with a view of arresting the emigration of
the people from the Territory. Those
places were vacated, and left without any
inhabitants, except a few persons fetation-
ed there to prevent the buildings and
other improvements from being destroyed
without orders. Gov. Young and Heber
C. Kimball, the two most prominent indi-'
viduals amongt he Mormons, were about
45 miles South of Salt Lake City. It has
been estimated that about 40,000 persons,
to use their own expression, were "on
wheels." Trains, extending for miles
down the Valley, were seen wending
their way from the city, carrying with
them every thing that they could pack in
their wagons and on their backs. In some
instances, . they were equipped rather
poorly for the journey, having no cover
ings for the wagons or any other conven
iences. Up to the time Col. Kane's
company left, none had advanced more
than 300 miles South of the city.
The company were not informed as to
the ultimate destination of the Mormons.
They manage to keep their counsels very
secret, nnd in answer to all questions as
to where they nre going the only answer
they give it, " Going South." It is more
than probable that they are destined for
Cedar City, orsome port of Sonora. .
From this it may be inferred that the
Mormon war is at an end. As we hnd
expected, they will not show fight with
our troops, but are seeking some other
place whereon to erect the great City of
Zion.
The army at Camp Scott wns anxious
ly looking for the arrival of tho supply
trains. These were met by Col. Kane's
company about twenty miles west of Platte
Bridge ; and Col. Hoffman , was using
every exertion to get them along with
dispatch.
The Indians have been committing nu
merous depredations upon tht Mormons.
Since they find that they are not agoing
to fight, they have become very insolent
towards them, and express their contempt
for them by calling them "squaws."
The depredations are committed princi
pally by tho Utah and Suake tribes.
Col. Kane crossed the Platte river at
Fort Laramie, nnd came down on the
north side of the river. Emigrants are
advised by him by all means to take the
northern route. The recent rains, which
seem to have extended to the West very
far, have raised all the streams ; and the
heavy supply trains so cut up the roads as
to render them almost impassable. On
the north tide the roads are much belter,
and as there has been comparatively bul
little travel along it this season, the grass
is better than it lias been for many years.
Numerous parties of Cheyennes and
Sioux were met by the company on the
road, who all proved very friendly.
Great credit is due the party which es
corted Col. Kane across the V alley.
Every effort was made to render the trip,
which at best is a tedious and toilsome
one, as pleasant as possiable. They are
all in good health and spirits, and teem
not to have suffered at all.

Siiootiso ArrnAv. A serious shoot- be found in to-dLy's paper. Judge Pi-ase

in the western put of this County, which Ohio, where, as a Barrister, he was high
resulted in the death of Thos. Noonan, 1 ly esteemed, and had but few equals.
a resident, we believe, or umana. The
particulars are as follows:
The affray grew out of a claim difficul
ty, between Noonan and C. L. Mathews,
a resident of Douglas County. Mathews
owned a timber claim, on the Elkhorn
River, in the S. E. 1-4 of Section 28,
Township 14, Range 10, which he pur
chased three years ago, this June, for
$75 or $80, and has lived in tho neigh
borhood since that time. Last August,
Noonsn pre-empted the land above . de
scribed, without living on it a single day.
As soon as Mathews learned that Noonan
had made the entry, he went to see him ;
but Noonan denied having made the en
try. In the course of two or three weeks,
Noonan acknowledged to Mathews that !
he was the one that had pre-empted
Mathews claim, and forbid him from
cutting limber from the land. In Febru
ary last, Mathew and others cut timber
from the said land, and Noonan sued
Mathews for tresspass, claiming $2000
damages.
Mathews and others having filed a
caveat, against Noonan's pre-emption, tho
trial occurred at the Land Office in Omaha,
last week Tuesday, and the proceedings
were forwarded to the General Land Of
fice in Washington.
We believe Noonan and Mathews had
a quarrel in Omaha, at that lime, in which
weapons were drawn.
Mathews returned to his home and in
formed ihe Union Club, what had happen
ed at the Land Office, and said that he
thought Noonan would be out in a day or
two to attach the logs belonging to Math
ews, which he did, ond remained there
over night, and then returned to Omaha.
The Club assembled to investigate the
matter, but nothing was done. Noonan
came out again on Sunday evening, in
company with several Irish, to commence
work on the land, or rafting the logs.
Mathews again called the Club logeiher,
and they went, unarmed, to the land to
see Noonan. He fled to the house of
Wm. Knight, and there drew and cocked
an U. S. pistol, and acted on the defens
ive. The Club afterwards sent a Com
mittee of one, to confer with Noonan, re
questing him to give a bond or surety,
that he would not meddle with the logs or
land, until a decision had been obtained
from the General Land Office, which he
refused to do, and cocked his pistol and
bado him leave. After considerable med
itation, on the part of the Club, they sent
another Committee, to make a similar re
quest. He again drew his pistol, and said
he would see them iu lull I before he
would give a bond or sarety. In the mean
nine, the President of tho Club arrived,
in company with several others, and at
the request of Mathews, ihe President re
quested Noonan to come out like a man,
and give himself up; whereupon Noonan
drew his piatol and cocked it. Mathews
then drew up his rifle and fired at Noonan
which took effect in his abdomen. He fell,
and expired in little over an hour. The
members of the Club then retired to their
respective homes. Neonan was an Irish
man, aged about 31 years. A large
number of Noonau's friends come out from
Omaha, on Tuesday morning, to procure
his body. No arrests, so far us we can
learn, have yet been made.

ing about for several hours, attended with
a good degree of success, we set out on
our return homeward. Taking a new
route, our course was more south wart' t
over hills and through valleys of unsur
passing loveliness, and as we overlooked
the broad, green fields of Nebraska, we
were enchanted with the almost unparal
leled scene of grandeur, that lay before
us. Meandering over the prairiA, in
due time, we reached home, as the sun
was fast sinking in the western horizon,
and having been successful in the purpose
for which we went, feasted our ideality
on the sublime works of nature, pas5ed a
few hours in social converse, we felt well
paid for our short trip to. the country, and
closed up by sitting down to a good old
fashioned supper of strawberry short-cake,
as we were wont to, in days of long ago.
A little steamer, the Silver Lnke, is

Her hull, built by Tood, at Wellsville, is.
110 feel keel and 20 feet beam, with an
open hold of three feet. Her engines,
built by Hartupee, are the smallest side
levers, we understand, ever built in this
city. They are of ten inches diameter
and three feet stroke. She has a single
boiler, sixteen feet in length and forty-two '
inches in diameter, with twenty-three
flues, adapted to raising steam rapidly,
with great economy of space. Her draft,
light, is less than ten inches, and she will
carry one hundred tuns on about eighteen j
inches. It is proposed by her owners,
Messrs. .Willoughby & Tranpcn, to run
her in the Kansas river, for which her
light draft, will fit her admirably.
