they were driven out of their city and compelled {
in mid winter to seek a new home beyond the j
farthest borders of civilization. The first 1
companies, embracing sixteen hundred persons, ,
crossed the Mississippi on the 3d of February, !
1846, and similar detachments continued to.
leave until July and August, travelling by ox j
learns towards California, then almost uuknown ,
and quite unpeopled by the Auglo Saxon race, i
Their enemies asserted that the intention of j
the Saints was tp uxeite tlie Indians against
the government, and that they would return to ;
tuke vengeance on the whiles for the indignities j
they had suffered. Nothing appears to have j
been further from their intentions. Their sole
object was to plant their Church in some fertile
and hitherto undiscovered spot, where they
might be unmolested by any opposing sect. —
Tbe war against Mexico was tben raging, aud,
to test the loyally of the Mormons, it was
suggested that a demand should be made on
them to raise fire hundred men for the service
of the country. They consented and that
number of their best men enrolled themselves '
under Gen. Kearney, and marched 2,400 miles
with the armies of the United State''. At the
conclusion of the war they were disbanded in
Upper California. Ttiey allege that it was one
of this band who, in working at a mill, first
discovered the golden treasures of California;
and they arc said to have amassed large quanti
ties cf gold before the seciet wag made genet
ally known to the "Gentiles." But faith was
not kept with the Mormons who remained in
Nauvoe. Although they had agreed to leave
in detachments, as rapidly as practicable, they
were not allowed uecessary time to dispose of
their property, and in September, 1840, the city
wus beseiged by their enemies upon the pretence
that they did not intend to fulfil the stipulations
made to tbe people and authorities of Illinois.
After a three days bjtubardmcnt, the last rem
nant was fiually driven out.
The terrible hcjira of the Mormon emigrants
over the Rocky Mountains has been described
by Mr. Kane of Philadelphia, iu an interesting
phamphlet, which is honorable to his own char
acter for good sense and for benevolent feeling.
No religous emigration was ever attended by
more suffering, no emigration of any kind was
ever proseeuted with more bravery. It result
ed iu the permanent establishment of the "Com
monweal! hof the New Covenant,'' in Utah or
Deseret, one of the interior of this Continent,
near its western border. Of this territory Mr.
Kane says:
"Deseret is emphatically a new country: new
In its own characteristic features, newer still
in its bringing together within its limits the
most inconsistent peculiarities of other coun
tries. I cannot aptly compare it to any. De
scend from rhc mountains, where you have tho
scenery and climate of Switzerland, to seek the
sky of your choice among the many climates of
Italy, and you may find weiiing out of the same
hills the freezing springs of Mexico aDd the
hot springs of Iceland, both together coursing
their way to tbe Salt Sea of Palestine, in the
plain below. The piages of Malte Brun provide
mo with a less trnthfu lparaliel to it than those
which describe the Happy Valley of Rasselas,
or the Continent of Ballibarbi."
fp l I T__ . vf tl- *f. . .IV'S.O -- -- -t
--been an unbroken record of pro c perity. It has
looked as though the elements of fortune obe
dient to a layv of natural reaction, were strug
gling to compensate their undue share of suf
fering. They may he pardoned for deeming it
miraculous. But, in truth, the ccouomist ac
counts for it all, who explains to us the speedy
recuperation of cities, laid in ruios by blood,
fire, and earthquake. During its years of trial
Mormon labor had subsisted on insufficient cap
ital, ami under many difficulties, but it has
subsisted, and survives them now, asintelligent
aud poweriul as ever it was at Nauvoo ; with
this difference, that it lias iu tl.e meantime been
educated to habits of unmatched thrift, energy
and endurance, and has been transplated to a
situation where it is in every respect more pro
ductive. Moreover, during all that period of
their journey, while some have gained by
handicraft, and the experience of repeated
essays at their various haltingplaces, the iniuds
of all have been busy framing designs and
planning improvements they have since found
opportunity to execute. Their territory is
unequalled as a stock raising country; the
finest pastures of Lombardy arc not moio es
timable than those on the cast side of the Utah
Lake and it tributary rivers, and it is scarcely
less rich in timber and minerals than the most
fortunate portions of the continent.
From the first the Mormons had little
to do iu Deseret, bat attend to mechanical and
strictly agricultural pursuits. They have made
several successful settlements: the farthest
north is distant more tiian forty miles, and tho
farthest south, in a valley called the Sanneech,
two hundred from that first formed. A dupli
cate of the Lake Tiberias empties its waters
into the innocent Dead Sea of Deseret, by a
fiue river, which they have named the Western
Jordan. It was on tho right bank of this
stream, on a rich table land, traversed by cx
haustless waters falling from the highlands,
that the pioneers, coining out of the mountains
in the night of the 24th of July, 1847, pitched
vheir first camp iu the Valley, and consecrated
the ground. This spot proved tho most
favorable site for their chief settlement, and
after exploring the whole country, they founded
oa it iheir city of the New Jerusalem. Its
houses are diffused, to command as much as
possible the farms, which are laid out in wards
•or cantons, with a common fence to coeh. The
farms in wheat already cover a space nearly as
large as Rhode Island. Toe houses of New
Jerusalem, or Great Salt Lake City, as it is
•commonly called, are distributed over an area
nearly as great as Miaf of New York. TLe
foundations have been laid for a temple more
magnificent than f'vit which was eree'ed at
Nauvoo.
The foregoing paragraphs were written in
1851. At that time the writer said thai 'io
fcrmaiiou just received from Utah justifies ap
prehensions that the ambition of Brigham
Young will be continually productive of diffi
culties." The lapse of six years has verified,
the prediction. They have been years of in
cessant contention between Brigham Young
and the General Government, until at last the
Prophet has proceeded to such lengths as to
compel our Government to rcsoit to arms for
Lis subnotion. An army is now on its way to
the Valley of the Great Salt Lake, but so small
we its numbers and so determined are the
Mormons to prevent its accomplishing the task
imposed upon it, that fears are entertained lest
it bo eat cff. The last iutelligeuce from tb
plains is of the ruost alamiiug character.
Three Government trains had been destroyed
by the Mormons; and it is reported that tweuty
thousand Indians are leagued with theui in
their hostility to the United States. What
credence is to be given to this latter repoit, we
will not venture to say; but if it prove true,
the stroug arm of the Government must be put
forth to crash our eueniies, and to remove that
community which will prove a festering so long
as it remains a part of the body politic. To
prove effective, the navigation must be severe.

Gov. Walker as a Traveller — His Talk about
the Convention.
BTEAMEU OGLESBT, Missouri Kiver, )
November 20, 1857. )
The good steamer Oglesby is approaching
Jeffersou City, with a passenger list embracing
the Hon. Robert J. Walker, the Ilou. J. 11.
Stringfellow, the Hon. Somebody of South
Carolina, and your correspondent.
Gov. WalkSr came en board at Leavenworth,
with the most remarkable lot of travelling appa
ratus ever seen on this throughfare. Among
other portions of his outfit is his whole Kansas
library, boxed and secured apparently for a long
journey. In addition to this he has about two
drays of miscellaneous freight, comprising, I
should say, all the movable property belonging
to the Governor of Kansas, His Exeelleuey has
not been counuuuicative on the subject of his
early return to the Territory, wheuce his fellow
passengers have inferred that he does not anti
cipate returuiug at all. Navigation wilt have
closed before he gets back from Washington, and
the transportation of his freigiit by land front
Jefferson toLeeompton will cost somebody §lO
per 100 pounds—au expense wbioh so shrewd a
financier as the Governor would ccrtaiuly not
iucur in a crises like the present.
There is to be no special session of the Kan
sas Legislature. The Free State Territorial
Committee met in Lawrence, a few days before
we left the Territory, uud appointed a Com
mittee of their own number to wait upon the
Governor, aud urge him to oull such a session
to take actiou concerning the monstrous pro
ceedings of the Lecouiptun Bogus Convention.
This Committee divided itself into two embassies
one going to Lecouiptou and the other to
Leavenworth. The Governor was found at the
latter place, or rather at au embryo town just
au'side of Leaveuwortb aud just inside of the
Fort Leavenworth Reservation The Governor
said it was quite clear a special session ought
to be called, but lie doubted his power to issue
the call. He would examine the law, and if
he found it withiu the scope of bis authority,
lie would act in aecotdance with their sugges
tion.
The Committee said that they would remain
in Leavenworth until the Governor could pott
himself up. They called the next day in season
to learn that the Governor had taken passage on
the steamer Oglesby for St. Louis. So lam in
formed by a gentleman who came on board
just as the steamer shoved off. The Committee
who went to Lecouiptou found Stanton, and
u.gv-u ......... ..... „ „ a
He agreed folly with their views, and thought
that course indispcusablc; but, of course, de
clined to take any action on bis own part while
his superior wus in the Territory. Mr. Stanton
knows by this time that his superior has ran
away from the responsibility of either calling
the session or not calling it. The Secretary
who is now Acting Governor, will, doubtless,
avail himself of some other dodge.
Gov. Walker has expressed himself very
freely during tiie trip concerning the framcrs
of the Lecuropton Constitution, lie even
alleges that they are liable to indictment at
common law for conspiracy. Jl more beggarly
and butcherly crowd of sots, ruffians and ussas
st/is, according to the Governor, never assem
bled together on the face oj the earth. His Ex
cellency renews this theme every few minutes
with the utmost energy of cursing. I happen
to know that the Governor's nialedictious are
riehly merited, but I confess botli surprise and
admiratiou at the faithfulness with which they
have been applied.
Auioug the passengers on the Oglesby, as 1
mentioned before, is Dr. J. H. Stringfellow,
scuic.vhat notorious iu Kansas history, though
not so prominent as his brother B. F. String
fellow, l ife of the Squatter Sovereign. Last
evening, after Gov. Walker had retired to his
staie-rcptn, inebriated, Stringfellow got into a
dispute with an ill-looking customer, who bailed
froui South Caiuliua, on the fruitful topic of the
Oxford election returns. Stringfellow main
tained that Walker had acted properly in throw
ing out these returns. South Carolina held
exactly the opposite. Of course the proper way
to arrive at the truth was to shoot each other.
Out came a couple of revolvers, aud hang went
one of theni at the head of the heretic on the
other side of the table. Fortunately, or un
fortunately, both weapens were struck aside
aud tLe combatants separated by the bystnud.
era.
The excitement in Leaveuwortb ou the sub
ject of tho bogus Constitution is intense. An
indignation meeting of Free State men was
held there last Saturday, and another will be
held on the 25th, to decide whether to vote
at the Constitution election, or fight.— Cor.
Chicago Tribune.
DEFEAT OF MAYOR WOOD.
The Mayor's election in New York City on
Tuesday resulted in the election of Daniel l' 1 .
Tiamann, the people's caudidato, by nearlv
3,000 majority over the notorious Fernando
Wood. Tire latter, for three years, has been
ruling New York with an almost dictatorial
power, standing ont as the especial representa
tive of the shoulder-hitters, bruisers, t; act hi era,
rum-heads, and rowdyism generally. Under
?ris administratiou rowdyism and crime became
rampant in the city, and ihc city taxes ran up
enormously by reason of the shameless ami
open corruption and peculation of the Wood
itcs in every department of the municipal
government. The Americana, Republicans,
and conservative Democrats united on Tuesday
last on Mr. Ticinatni—the Foreigners, Irish
Catholics, and representatives of the Five
Points, uniting on Wood, the Tammany II ii
Democratic nominee. The Police Commission
appointed over 2,000 special police with
stringent ciders to arrest every rowdy who
should attempt disturbance at the polls, awl
holding the military in readiness to support
them if necessary. The result is tho triumph
of the Citizen's candidate—a triumph which
roust be hailed with lively gratification by the
conservative and law-abiding citizens of the
entire Union.

KANSAS! AFFAIRS.
The present judications are, that the Frsi,
State men of Kausas will not participate ii
tt the vote to be taken on the 21st of Decern 1
ber, upon the Slavery clause of the Lecomptoi
Constitution.
That election is to be managed by creature* ;
to be appointed by Surveyor General Calhour, j
and the returns nte to be received, cosntei,
and declared by him. In view of the knovn
character of Calhoun, it is probably of liule i
consequence to the result whether the Free '
State men vote or not. The Johnson county j
and McGec county frauds will be enactec ever ,
again, only upon a more gigantic scale.
Upon the whole, it may be assumed that the
Leconipton Constitution, with tho Slavery
clause as a part of it, will be sent to Congtes3
for their sanction.
M ill Congress admit Kansas, with suh a
Constitution, and under such circumstanced
It is certain that the Administration will use
all its influence and patronage to force the
measure through Congress. The Southarn
members of both parties, with ao occasional
exception, will also support it.
From the Northern Democracy, there are, as
yet, tto important indentions of oppositioi to
if, except frotn Col. Forney'* Philadelphia
Press, and ftotn the Chicago Times, which is
known to be the organ of Judge Dauglas.—
The Chicago Tribune says tliut it is bnliived
iu Chicago that the Times, in this matter, is
reflecting the present opinions of Judge Doug
las although the Tribttue thinks he will finally
succumb to the pressure of the South, after he
arrives at \\ ashingtou. The Tribune says:
"Oar belief is, that at present Douglas is in- j
elinctl to sustain tho view-* set forth is the j
Times. Here, among his constituents, and iu j
daily contact with loading men of his party, he '
is convinced that his only hope of re-election !
to the Senate next fall depends upon carrying !
out, in apparent good faith, his of! r. psu'c.i !
Kansas pledges. He keenly feels and clearly j

and influence of the Administration will ho em

lieves that Douglas has the tuorai courage to
face such an ariay, aud stand up resolutely for
tho fulfilment of bis pledges? We believe that
he will quail, hesitate, sophisticate, aud then
sunender at discretion."
It is uot known wi th certainty what attitude
Gov. Walker wiil take with re*pc*t o the Le
coutptou Coustitution. He will probably not
fiually determine upou it until he has consult
ed with his personal friends in the Atlantic
States.
The great emigration to Kansas of last
spring and summer has settled tit# question
that slavery cannot be established there. But
still, tho great ({notion has remained, aud still
temains, whether the people of Katuas will be
obliged to resort to force, in order to pi event
iu establishment, and it must be confessed that
things seem to be drifting in that direction.
A physical collision will certainly be grzsp

of sustaining measures which deprive the p#o

OUR LOW TARIFF.—The Germantown Tol
egrapb has the following sensiTJe article on
the subject of our present low tariff. The
facts set forth are ea<y of comprehension, and
cannot be controverted:
"It seetr.s to be incontestiblo by cny fair ar
gument, thar the cames of our present finan
cial difficulties hare been, first, lite low Tariff,
and second, tbc extension or abuse of the cred
it system, growing out of it. The excessive
importations which have been going on year
after year, increasing in magnitude with each
year, and earning with it the teraptatious of
unlimited credit to the importer or jobber, who
in turn offered the same inducements to pur
chasers in every part of the country—have un
doubtedly been the prime sources of the revul
sion now existing—aud they are identical with
those of 1837.
• A few notorious facts will make this more
apparent. Ir, the first eight rooDths of the
present year,'the excess of fko importation of
foods at the port of New York alone, over the
exportation*; was the enormous sum of cne
hundred and five millions of dollars; while at
the ti ue of the suspension of spceie payments
by the Banks, the ainonnt of specie in tbe
vaults of a.l the banks in the United States,
did not exceed seventy millions'

tongued to all who arc seeking after the truth,
and will not be blinded by old prejudices, or
misled by the special pleading of those whose
interest it is to cry down a Protective Tariff—
destroy domestic industry—and place us com
plete! y at the mercy of foreign labor."
SiNOtrLAR- —A vciy singular thing has been
brought to light at the Minnesota Mine, Lake
Superior. By examination .among tbe broken
rocks on the side of the bluff, pieces of vein
stone, with copper and silicate, were picked up
at one point in considerable quantities, and it
was tho't hest to pull awsy the adjacent rubbish
and damme for the outcrop of the vein. A
party of men were put upon the ground aud
soon found the conglomerate with a channel or
trench passing through ir some five or six feet
in width. This was Hi led. with soft rubbish,
containing charcoal and other traces of tbe
works of the ancient miners. Its depth has
uot yet been ascertained.
SINGULAR HALLUCINATION.—Francis Ange
a wealthy planter from Louisiana, says the Cin
cinnati Commercial, arrived in that city yes
terday, en route for Europe, where his friends
arc taking him for the purpose, if possible, of
dispelling a Mogultir hallucination, or species
of insanity, with which he is afflicted. Two
years aga he took it into his head that his ped
al extremities were paralyzed, aud although as
sured by emineut medical practioners that his
understandings are as firm and strong as tbey
ever wore, he insists upon being carried about
like a child, and not even an alarm of fire in
his residence could induce him to bacard a per
pendicular position. It is said that he is per
l'ectly sane on all other matters.
PAYING FOR THE FUN.— The State Treasury
of Maryland has been called upon to pay $750
for freight on the Virginia muskets sent by or
der of Gov. Wise to Gov. Ligon, and sent back
again after the election, not having been need.

moved all the dandruff and unpleasant itching
from the scalp, and has restored my hair nat

medicine peculiarly adapted to this disease lias

years, an I tho result of lis experiment is tho
Invigorator, as a never-failing remedy wb-re
medicine has any power to help. As "a Liver-
Remedy it has no equal, as all testilv who use
it.
A lady writing fronr Brooklyn, says, "horrid
that I could express iu this short lett- the val

a largo famiiy of children, for i' h' ,s never tail

One of our prominent bankers says, "Five or
six years since 1 found myself running down
with a fiver- difficulty; resoiriug to your Invig
orator, was greatly relieved, ar.d, continuing
for a season, Was entirely restored."
A clergyman called at our office the other
day and said lie had given a poor woman a bot

Complaint, and befuru she had taken the whole

A gentleman, recently from the West, says,
while at Chicago, he was attacked with a slew,
lingering fevjr. that battled the skill pot' pbysi

One of our city ruercirants sard, while or. a
visit to Troy, a lew da 3 ssince, iio was attacked
with bowel and stomach disorders, so as to con
flue him to his room, ho sent to the drug storo
for u bottle of Invigorator, took one dose, which
relieved him so that he was able to attend hit
business.
An acquaintance, whore business compels
him to write iu<xt ot the time, says, ho bec.-tuo
so weak as to be unable at tunes to told his
