Gen. Sickles has been compelled to issue a very 
radical order, annulling all such enactments.”

Ds«tb of Dr. Nott. 
Elifhalet Nott, D. D., the venerable 
President ot Uniou College, died at Schenec¬ 
tady on the 29th ofJast month, in the ninety-third 
year of his age. Dr. Nott was born in Ashford, 
Connecticut, the 25th of June, 1773. He received 
no collegiate education, but commenced early 
the study of theology, and at the age of 21 was 
sent as a home missionary to Central New York. 
He visited Cherry Valley and was Invited to take 
charge of the Presbyterian Church at that place. 
He accepted tho call, and also became a teacher 
in the Academy. Two or three years afterwards 
he was called to the Presbyterian Church at. 
Albany, where he at once look a prominent 
position ms a preacher. In 1804 lie was chosen 
President of Union College, which place he 
continued to fill for sixty-two years; and at his 
death he was the oldest bead of a literary Institu¬ 
tion In the United States, and probably in the. 
world. Dr. Nott was an earnest advocate of the 
temperance cause. [The Legislature of this State 
on the 31st ult., passed appropriate resolutions 
of condolence on the death of Dr. Nott, and 
ordered that the National Flag be suspended at 
half most on the Capitol during the day ot the 
funeral—the 2d of February.] 
Brigham Young. 
The fact that the people of the United States 
will not continue to tolerate the existence of 
Mormon polygamy, joined H6 it ib to sympathy 
and co-operation with the rebellion and with 
every conceivable physical and moral vice, has 
at last penetrated the rhinoscros hide of Brigham 
Young. He sees civilization and morality advanc¬ 
ing upon him from the Atlantic and the Pacific, 
and he cum no more resist them than he can 
resist Providence, whose interpreters and com¬ 
missioners they are. Should he remain, a con¬ 
flict is inevitable. If the Government itself was 
not compelled to interpose its authority against 
a vulgar, offensive and savage fanaticism, the 
emigrants, respectable, virtuous and enterpris¬ 
ing men, would push him from the stool, 
lienee, some credence may be attached to the 
report brought recently from Salt Lake city, 
that Brigham Young has purchased or secured 
the refusal of two of the Sandwich Islands, to 
which he intends to remove hi6 deluded follow- 
ore. If this turns out correct, the crime of , 
polygamy will become, an international matter, i 
and the world at large will cure that which has ( 
60 long annoyed the United States. 
From Mexico. 
Tiie official correspondence between Gens. 
Weitzcl and Mejia regarding the affair at Bagdad 
is published. The former states that he sent 
three hundred soldiers to Bagdad at the request 
ot Gen. Escobedn, purely as an act of humanity, 
not to perform perviee for either party. Gen. 
Mejia replies briefly, stating that he has notified 
his Government of all the occurrences that took 
place at Bagdad. The French naval commander 
before his departure for Vera Cruz to report the 
matter officially, protested in a short note against 
the invasion of Mexico by tbe American soldiers. 
Bagdad was abandoned on the 26th ult by the 
Liberals and the United States guard placed 
there, and the Imperials had re entered. 
Fkom Canada.— The Canadians appear greatly 
alarmed. They assume to have, received authen¬ 
tic information of an invasion by the Fenians at 
an early day; and the militia, with all the rail¬ 
roads, are held in readiness for a movement to 
any point attacked. A dispatch from Hamilton, 
C. W., of Feb. 2, says “Gen. Sweeney and CoL 
Roberts passed here last night on the night 
express train. Col. Brooker, the Major and 
Chief of Police, passed through the train and 
viewed the sleepers.”

A company of French capitalists have bought 
the lands of St. Mary’s mineral land company on 
Center, Pa., on the 31st ult, Tbe lose of property 
is estimated at $110,000. The fire originated in 
a spark from an engine, which, alighting in a 
well near by, soon wrapped the whole neighbor¬ 
hood in flames. Eight flowing wells and 11,000 
barrels of crude oil were destroyed. 
The internal revenue tax in New York city 
yielded, during the year 1865, $37,156,411. This

include the sums received from the sale of 
stamps, which will probably amount to ten 
millions more, nor the returns from the tax on 
bank and insurance stock, &c.

rials claiming to have had only seven killed and
