THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1863. THE UTAH ABOMINATION, How They Harry From a Swindled Ftm the gait Late Unto fidette, December 15. The following u a portion of ft letter written by an Immigrant convert to poljuamy, who wag formerly a respectable working-man in the cm- f loy of Lawrence k Co., wine merchants of lertford, England. Alter a few years slavery in Utah, he worked his way to Sacramento, California, where he wrote this letter to a Hert ford paper, hoping It would be the means of Sreventing others in that country from being eluded by tbe misrepresentations ot Mormon rroelytes, the pollutions of whose system he became disgusted with and thus describes: Sacramento Citt, Statu of California, United Status of America, September 23, 1866. Sir: In my last letter to mother, I promised to send you a littlo of my expcrlonco while In Salt Lake, which 1 was afraid to do whilo living there, as my life would have been in danger by so doing. But as I am now in a free country I can flutter my wings, and can send to my friends the truth ot things as tbey exist there, without being afraid. In my previous letters I have been very silent ' on the polygamy question. I think a little news of that kind will be very interesting to you and a few ot your friends. In tbe first place, old men ot seventy marry girls at fourteen years of age, and in some instances they give the parents of the child a cow or an old gun, or tome other trifling thing. In the next place, a man will marry a girl, and that girl's brother will marry her husband's daughter, and very frequently a man marries two or three sisters; but, worst of all, many go so far as to marry a woman and her daughter, or daughters, as the case may be. Again, the missionaries trom there to the old countries urge the emigration, especially that of the females, and many women, when they had not sutticient means to emigrate with their whole family, emigrated with their daughters, and left their husbands and the rest of the family to follow them the next year, or as soon after as they can procure the meaus. In many instances, when the man gets there, he finds out that his wife Is married to another man, and should he be so fortunate with his wife, he has to keep one eye open all the time, or he will lose her, especially If she has the appear ance of being a smart woman; for I can assure you that they are a set of old men with one leg in the grave and the other out, crawling around after women, aud should they see one that they think they would like, they tell the poor woman that her husband can't save her, and persuade her to get a man higher in the priesthood tbin her husband, and these old cripples often suc ceed in getting her away, and the poor man can't help himself. It is the order of the King dom of their God. I have told you that they marry. I will now tell you how some of them live. I will speak of those in the neighborhood I lived in. Three of my nearest neighbors were polygamies one old man who bad no children; he lived pretty.fair wita his women. The other two lived like devils; they used to tight and call each other filthy names. It the man has means enougb he gets a house for each of his women; if not, they all live together. One young woman that we were acquainted with went aud listened one night at the window of the other wife of her husband, and heard something she did not like. Sbe up with her fist and broke almost every pane of glass in the frame, and for the panes she broke her wages was several of her teeth knocked out. Oh, Zioti, when I think of thee I A slsler of one of the apostles has no less than four husbands, and all livm?. Women there, if they dont like their husbands, go to Brother Brigham, and he erives them a bill of divorce, forwnich be charaes $10, which her late husband has to pay, aud calls that his pocket money. Mr. W., 1 can assure you that there is not that happy smile there upon a woman's counte nance which characterizes an English woman. Many of them, as soon as they get there, begin to peep through the wool that has been drawn over their eyes, probably for years, and some of them come out and say Mormonism in Utah and Mormonism in Enjland have no compari son. I found It so long before I got to Salt Lake, but I would like to have found it out before I left my home. At any rate I am quite satisfied now. and have come to this conclusion. that if God owns ttial people, the Devil owns the liest. I am sir, your humble servant, W. Hart. P. S. As I am out of danger you can make what use you like of this letter. THE CONNOE'S CREEK MURDER. Arraignment of th PriMoner Attempts) to Lynch Dim-Additional Particulars of tbe Crime. from the Detroit Tribune, Tuesday. Yesterday, John Cooper, who murdered his sister, Mrs. William Lynch, in the town of Grosse Point, near Connor's Creek, on Thursdtfy last, was arraigned before Justice McCarthy, and, through counsel, who volunteered to defend him, plead not guilty to the charge of murder. The prisoner remained stoically silent when the charge was urouounced, but the sight ot the axe with which be committed the fiendish deed, as it was brought into court, caused a temporary risible tremor to come over his person. An attempt was made to have the examination adjourned till the 19th instant, but this applica tion was so strenuously rebistcd by the Prose cuting' Attorney, that further hearing was waived to the Wayne Circuit Court, which meets on the 22d instant. The case will at that time come up for final hearing, unless some other disposition 6hould be made of the prisoner pre vious to that date, which we have every reason to believe will be attempted. With a view of preventing a rescue, extraordinary precautionary meanuies have been taken. As might naturally be expected, the publica tion of the particulars concerning the terrible murder have caused a sickening sensation to pervade the entire community, and an excite ment has been created which time alone would allay. The announcement that the murderer would be examined to-day, 'at Justice McCarthy's ofiice, called out a large crowd of people, not less than one thousand having assembled in the court-room and in the streec There waa much confusion and excitement, and imprecations without number were hurled at the wretch, who occupied a seat In Rn obscure corner. Cries of "lynch him," J'send him out here and we'll fix him," were frequently heard, while the arguments for an adjournment were beiLg made. When the defendant's counsel waived examination and preparations were being made to remove the prisoner, two men in a very excited condition made desperate efforts to reach. the wretched man, with the supposed intention " of puttinsr an end to his existence, Dut he wai removed from the court-room before harm could be accomplished. Cooper was handcuffed and hurriedly taken from the court-room via the bak door, placed in a carriage and taken to jail. The crowd, however, (Uncovered the ruse, and made a rush for the carriage, but without accomplishing anvthing. From the many witnesses who were present, we gained additional particulars ot the murJer. which go to show that the details, as previously Eubliflhed, were not as horrible as they should ave been stated. We learn from the above men tioned sources that Cooper shot his sister in the head, which was the first act in the bloody drama. He then seized a large iron pot and boat ' her brains out, breaking the weapon by the repeated blows. With an axe he split the skull and breast of the corpse. From the wound made In the latter region, the murderer, with his own hands, removed the heart of the deceased, and threw it upon the floor.

YOUNG MEM'S SUITS, MATTERS OVER THE RIVER. Rowdyism.--There seems to bo a prowlnir spirit ot insubordination not only In Camden, but In many ot the large town and villages. At the opening of the 51ercer County Court, last week, Chief Justice lioasley charged the (irand Jury on the general tendencies to rowdyism, and showed the necessltv of adopting prompt measures to check thin alarming evil, lie al luded to the recent "Horn spree'-' among the students of Princeton College, which resulted In a conflict with the President and orofessors, and the expulsion of some thirty students. We hopo the remarks of the Chief Justice may induco parents, guardians, and znasters to exercise a re straining authority over our youth, and prompt the police to pay more attention to boys of larger growth. The Otsteb Tbade. Since the closo of navigation the oyster dealers have advanced the price of this luxury to a very high figure. Maurice river coves aud other Delaware bay oysters are placed beyond Id aoacb of many consumers. If the present uvid weather con tinues, however, holders will be forced to "let go," as nearly all of the stock on hand was frozen during the few very cold days of this week, and when once thawed oysters soon be come of littlo value. Kaiglih's Point Febbt.- Under the management of Mr. (Jrifliths this ferry is rapidly Increasing in business. The boats have been placed in good repair, every convenience Is fur nished to passengers, and an immense number of waconB, heavily laden with produce, are con tinually crossing. No ferry passes more of wealth and luxury to the Philadelphia markets, and none excel these boats in the regularity of their trips. Telegraph Office in Camden. The American Telegraph Compauy have opened an ollice in the second story of the West Jersey Railroad Company's building, foot of Federal street, Camden. Messgei to all points in the United States and British Provinces will be trans mitted promptly. The citizens of Camden have often felt the need of a telegraph ollice in their city. Retivat,. Protracted meetings are belns: held In the First Baptist Church of Trenton. The pastor, Rev. D. Henry Miller, has preached every night this week with great effect, and his labors are bringing many to the church. Another Wall Street Sensation. A WOMAN AND 8EVINT8EN THOUSAND DOLLARS IN TUB CASE. Another broker has, it is reported, come to grief. This time the amount involved is not so groat as that with which young Ketchum played, nor yet so large as that which Jenkins foolishly and criminally squandered; nor does it appear that the sum was any part of anybodv else's money; but tor all that we aud those who circulate the sweet morsel of scandal know, it may be the legitimate property of the man who has deter mined to absent himself from these busy scenes of money changing, and hasten across the boundless ocean with the woman of his choice. At all events the amount is not large enough to make It much of an object r'or him or any one else to lose his good name. Wall street rumor and we have found that usually that is pretty good authority has it that Mr. Charles H. L'urr, of the firm of C. II. Carr & Co., brokers, drew the sum of $17,000 from the bank yesterday and absconded. Also, that the proprietress of one of the "first class" houses of ill-lame In our up-town precincts or the inmcte oi the house where "board for the ludy only" is furnished, ha disappeared as well; and from certain circumstances which have occurred lately it is suspected that Curr has taken her for a connpagnw du voyage. This is all that is known at present, but doubt less astonishing revelations will soon be made. A'. Y. Commercial Advertiser, 11th. Federal Revenue in St, Louis.

Sol. Meredith Cowhided. The Washington correspondent of the Cincin nati Commercial sajs that (ieneral 8oL Mere dith, who recently distinguished himself by cowhiding George "W. Julian, was himself cow hided in tbe National Hotel at Washington one day last week, by one Colonel McBride, an officer of negro troops. It appears that "while in com mand at Paduenh on one occasion, Meredith was aDout to give a party at that place, and issued invitations very ireely to all the officers under him. Just belore the event came off, some ot the secession women of Paducah notified Mere dith that it officers of negro troops were to be at the entertainment, they must decline gracing the occasion. Meredith Immediately witndrew the invitation he had extended to McBride and others, In order to remove all obstacles to tho charming presence of the snuff-dipping aris tocracy." McBride regarded this as a uross in sult, and meeting General Meredith in the Na tional, he gave him thrashing and then cow hided him. Tho General is said to have made no resistance, but to have cone off and made cem plaint belore Judge Wyhe. This is certainly a very strange story, ana ot course we caunot vouch for its truth. A Mormon in Chicago. A Mormon, who has ai rived in Chicago for the purpose of marrying his fifth vile, writes the lollowiug curious note to tbe Tribune of that city: On my visit to Chi cago I noticed an article in the Tribune in regard to utau. That Kpeaser comix expressed a wish that President Young might have a revelation prohibitiii! nolvgarav, Is to me a matter of some doubt. On the contrary. 1 have reason to Know that Speaker Colfax eloquently expressed his gratitude at the domestic happiness ot our com munity. I am a Mormon born and bred, and the husband of lour wives, aad what may seem strange, my mission is one ot love, to transplant a flower from this sterile (morally) latitude to bloom and flourish in our happy home. We have no wish to be admitted into your "Union" nor do we wish at one fell swoop to bo di vorced from our wives and families. It seems to me it would be wise to let us Mormons alone aud devote your moral lectures to a community wnere a man or woman can marry and be di vorced three times iu as many years.

Witness sent for a tailor, who stated that the coat bore no marks of stitches; afterwards witness went in the cell with the prisoner, went over the whole case with him, and stated he thought he had committed the murder; Berger then confessed partially to hav ing committed nio need; ne said tnat ne went to tbe house of Miss Watts, and remembered push ing or knocking hr down; but would not admit that he cut her throat. ' On Tuesday the prisoner again stated that he knocked the old lady down, and then locked the door. He said he was up-stairs when a boy came to the door. He came down, opened the door a crack, saw who was there, and shut it again. He left by tho back door, went to Fisher's lane, pulled tho razor out of the case, found it bloody, and threw it away.

Last nlcht a large and appreciative audience tilled Musical Fund Hall, to listen to the lecture of tho Hon. samuei a. i;ox, oi onio, ou "lrisn wjt and Humor." Mr. t'ox dissected the basia on which wit rested; spoke of the natural humor found in different people, and gave a history ot Irish wit, with some ot their richest jokes. Tbe whole address was replete with tun, and was a finished effort ot rhetoric, it was listened to with attention, and greeted throughout with much laughter and applause. Mr. Cox is an orator ot the first order, and both as a literary and comic writer has acouire t a wide-spread reputation. He was one of the few Douglas Democrats who, while true to his party, was not false to his country. On tbe last occasion of his election to Congress, he received nearly all of the Republican votes, affording the best evi dence ot nis popularity ana patriotism. Base-Ball on Ice. Yesterday afternoon a large number of ladies and gentlemen assem bled at the Union Skating Park, tor the purpose of witnessing a match game of base-ball on ice between the Athletic and Hamilton Clubs. Owing to some cause the latter club was but sliinly represented. The following players were selected to contest against the first-named club: Messrs. Anspach and Croasd:ile, of the Olympic; Simmons, Koim. and Leidy, ot the Philadelphia; Malonc, of the Keystone; Eukin and Dechert, of the Hamilton; and K. Gaskill, ot the Athletic. Me?srs. Hayhurst. McBride, Reach, Wilkins, Berkenstock, Luenjeane, C. Gaskill, Dockney, and Sterling, constituted the Athletic's nine. The ice being quite soft, it was very difficult to manoeuvre upon. Nevertheless, the came was well played, and reflects great credit upon the contestants. Street Assault. Last night a gang of thieves who congregate about the northwest corner of Ninth and Chesnut streets, made an attack upon three or four young men who were passing. One ot tbetn .received a severe cut over the bead with a cane. The roughs then ran, one of them taking refuge in a restaurant at the northwest corner. He was followed by an ofiicer, who went into the place and found the fellow hid away In the vault. He was arrested, and gave the name of Aleiander Purple, aad was committed by Alderman J ones, in is rcstatt lant has been the scene of many similar occur rences, and is known to be a resort tor all kinds ot suspicious characters.

Some very touching cases ot want and delicacy came before me to-day, and I should like to lay one or two oi tnern before vour readers. First let me say. We attended at the funeral of the soldier's littl daughter referred to In my last communication; spoke a word of comfort to the weeping sick motucr; toui ot nun wno nan compassion over tho widow of Nain, and wept tears at the grave of Lazarus.

I replied, in soothing astonishment, "don't say so I There is not a true American In this city to-day who docs not feel that he or she owes you a debt he can never pay. The little assistance that I can render the soldier's, widow and orphan is a poor compensation for the service rendered by your husband for me, for my country, for our coun try. Philadelphia is glad to-day to give to sol diers' widows arid orphans the iust wanes of him who died for us. You are no begqar ( Let not the thought tear your heart so." Ah I my fellow citizens, you should see such cases tor your selves. To write them is to do them Injustice. xney cannot oe written i xnese words naa a most nappy influence on her mind.

' This is a great truth. There is lov in such a work, I am sure our citizens must feel, in giv ing, the precious truthfulness of the Professor's remark. Several similar cases have been here, and many trying dissimilar ones which I have not time to write. The applicants are increasing daily, and our citizens seem to manifest the right spirit, and are resolved that the widow and orphan of him who died foris shall not be cold, nnked, or nungry. Those who recommend for aid will please make themselves acquainted with the case, and be able to say tnat it is a vnoriny and neeay case. Again let me give notice that no applicant need come for aid without a recommendation from some minister of the Gospel, or from some respectable citizens, indorsed if possible by a minister of he Gospel.
