JubsUntlally aa follows That tba spirits of

according to Morris, was afterwards Mose).

jnieicmmjaeo pneMDood Enoi, CanBan, Ma

Noah, and o on down through Abraham, Inane,
Jacob, Jesse, David, Solomon, et al., to Je-u
Christ, tbe last ol tbo regular priest bood, in all
booui i44,uuu arc now reappearing upon me
earth In the flesh: that he (Morris) wrta Beth.
the first of tbe priesthood, and that Joseph
nrnim was toe second, naving prcceaea nun, as
a forerunner, to establish florojonism.
Tha work of ilorris waa called by himself
. "The Fulness 01 me uospei," Aiormonist-u
being only tha gospel In part, Tha object
claimed by siorns was 10 establish a universal
tempoud klnfidom on the earth in accordance
with the prophcey of Daniel, that in the last
daya the (Jod ot Heaven ou earth would break
in pircei all other kingdoms and government,
and be an Inheritance of the people of the
BainU of the Most High, which people thete
llorrisites claim to b.
Upon one occasion Morris called on Brlgh&m
Toudk, and told lil-n tbnt be was his (Iirig
bsm') auperior, and that (Jort had sent him to
take control of the Mormon Church. Brigaim
Indignantly denied the Justness of the claim,
tolling Morris to go back to the God that cent
him, and request that God to "kiss hia foot."
Morris then went lo Weber, thirty-Eve miles
west of Great Salt Lake City, and there esta
blished himself. In the courso of fourteen
months he had gathered around himself about
seven handle! men and women, composed of
the brightest intellects in the Mormon Church,
some of the leaders being profound scholars.
So rapid was the increase of this sect that Urit
ham Young became alarmed, and sent out an
army of about one thousand soldiers', with five
pieces of artillery. This forco came before the
atnp of the MorrUltes on the 13th of June. 1862,
and began a bombardment. On the third day
Morris surrendered, and, marching out, laid
down his arms. After the capitulation, the
leader of the Mormon rabble, Bobert T. Burton,
eheriff ot Salt Lake county, deliberately shot
down Morris, and also a woman who Interceded
for his life. The Morrisitestben dispersed, some
going to Nevada, tome to California, some to
" Idaho, and others to Montana, being protected
in their escape by United States troops, under
the command of General Conner.
A lady went with that portion of the Morris
lies who fled to Idado, and ws persuaded by
her husband to abandon her Church and return
to the States; but the old faith clinging to her
mind, she, in turn, endeavored to convince her
huBband of the correctness of her singular re
ligious notions, and to induce him to espouse
and promulgate them from the sacred desk.
His refusal probably aosettled her mind, aud it
Is now thought that she' has yielded to an irre
siktlble impulse to go abroad into the world,
and, by preaching, endeavor to propagate the
religion of her prophet, Morris.
From (he tame, I7t. -
In onr Issue of last Thursday we noticed the
mysterious disappearance of a lady, who, hav
ing become a convert to Mtfrrislsm spiritual
istic Mormonism endeavored- to induce her
hubband, now in this city, to undertake tbe task
ol converting the world to the new religion;
and lailing in this, lost her reason. The last
een'of her was at Mound City, from whence
ahe travelled on foot in the direction of the
Junction. One remarkable fact connected with
this strange affair is that the lady firmly believes
her husband .is even superior to Alerris, and
many of the Morrisltes entertain the same
belief. In one of his revelations for he re
ceived and recorded the Words of God, Morris
prophesied that his mission would not be of long
duration that be would come to a sudden aud
violent death. The pTophecy waa fulfilled.
But be also declared that a greater than he
would come after him to accomplish the
work of tbe Latter Days and establish and
confirm, for all time, "the fulness of the gospel,"
and erect, for the people of the Saints,
a universal temporal kingdom. This prophecy
bus Dot yet been fulfilled; but most of the Mor
risltes, who are fanatics of tbe most decided
description, believe that tbe husband of the
Lot Woman is their "Coming Man." His wife
insist that he is Adam and she is Eve, and that
he was Gabriel before he was Adam. Tha gen
tleman aays be might have been induced to
believe the new religion had it not. been for this
attempt to make him a grand dignitary in tbe
Church of the Saints of the Fullnes of the
Gospel. He Is too modes) to accept the prof
fered honor, and too weak to carry tbe load,
even if be bad sufficient assistance to induce
htm to attempt the task. He says be is almost
sure he was not Adam, and he is willing to be
sworn that be never was Gabriel. He ta ot tba
opinion that, when be becomes crazy enough to
believe that he" was ever anybody else than he
is, he will be just tbe man to lead the Morrisites,
and he will then take up the rod of authority
tDd proceed to bis allotted task.
Fashions for NoTtmbtr,
JVotn he Follet.
The cold weather we have had lately has been
tbe signal lor the appearance of thoroughly
winter toilettes, so that their lorm, material,
and style may be considered as perfectly decided
on. Aa far as in-door dress is concerned, the
materials are much the same as those worn last
month; but the walking costumes have a much
more wintry aspect than they presented even a
few days ago. Both woollen and silk reps, serges,
cloths, poplins, thick silks, satins, moires, aud
velvets are much worn.
The velours Anglais or, as we say, velve
teenwill be much worn, but only in ttrnt-class
qualities. No material ia more suitable for a
short dress, and, perhaps, no costume can be
prettier, than a short black velvuteep skirt over
a colored silk petticoat with plaited flounce.
Black velvet paletot, with long hanging sleeves,
lined with silk like the petticoat.
No one will, of course, attempt to wear an out-of-door
dress, either short or long, without a
small crinoline. For ballroom-wear some ladies
have a multiplicity of white flounce muslin pet
ticoats, though, in most cases, they are only
worn to disguise the very small crinoline which
Is worn to support them. With short dresses a
perfectly round crinoline is worn, while tralued
skirts require long and trained crinoline; but in
all cases they are very much diminished in cir
cumference, being now woru merely to support
and not distend the skirt.
The large open sleeves will be very fashionable
in rich materialss, but are considered only suit
able tor handsome dresses. For others, the small
coat sleeve, or even the quite tight one, closed
at tbe wris-t, will be preferred.
The high bodies are made quite plain, and fit
ting to the figure; some few have basques, but
sashes, of which there Is an endless variety, are
most in favor at the present moment. These
sashes have generally a small button or hook
underneath, which serves to fasten up the skirt
for out-of-door wear.
The long skirts are atill made with a very de
cided tram, and so gored as to be nearly, it not
quite, plain at the top. The front Is always
quite p.aio, the back sometimes put in lurire
gathers, though this style ia hardly so suitable
for velvets, moire, satins, or poplins, as it is for
thinner materials, gome of tbe short skirls
touch the pround, others are a little way from
it; but no one with the leat pretension to good
style wears them so as to show the top of the
boot.
Mautlea are worn In endless variety of forms
and sizes, fitting tlght.or loose, with tight or
loose aleeves.
Uount ta are much the same size as those lately
worn, but several new shapes have appeared.
It is aa jet loo early to speak decidedly as to
the form likely to ba preferred. Tbe "Fauchon"
shape ia the most prominent; It baa not in
creased In 8le, but generally has a fall ot lace
cruet scurf over Uio back, hicb. i brought
lounii and fastened under the chin. This Is
considered more suitable for the winter than to
have the back bnlr quite exposed.
There Is very little variety in tbe form of
winter hats; they, ot course, do not revive tha
wide brims occassary in summer. Tbe bronae
hats are becoming common, aud our elegants
are vi earing grey straw, with feathers to raa'.oh,
completed by a bunch of scarlet berries or holly
leaves.
The erosaway bands or rouleaux ara atill In
preat favor for trimming dresses, and are made
either In the same material or in silk or satin
Many silk dresses are trimmed with rouleaux of
satin the same color, tbe difference in material
beiDg quite sufficient to produce a good effect.
Handsome fringes are also very much worn, and
the reappearance ot flounces will bring broad
lares into larbion aealn.
Wf have seen some black dresses, both In vel
vet and silk, trimmed with gold braid and fringe.
If sparingly and Judiciously used, this has a
most elegant effect. We select one blaok silk
dress for description: A nairow flounce, about
two inches wide, was pinked at one edge and
fluted on the tkirt straight along the front; at
each aide It was carried up and formed two
deep points, and then straight again at the back
to imitate a tunic: above this were two rows of
gold braid, about half an Inch wide, worked
with little tufts of apple green floss silk; these
rows were about throe inches apart. The body
of black silk had a corselet of black silk with
two points at top and bottom, both in the front
and at the back, trimmed with a flounce of
black silk and one row ol the gold and green
braid. The sleeves were open quite to the arm
hole, cut In three points, and trimmed to corres
pond with the skirt. Under those were tight
sleeves of gn en silk.
