■DRKAT SALT LAKE CITT, U. T., 1
Saturday, July 3, 1858. J
Vatnuice •/ Army into Salt Luke. City.
The army of Utah, '.iuer command of
P.„. .; Brigadier General Johnston, enter
■! t /. Valley on Saturday, the 26th ult.,
hour or two after my letter of that date
! a mailed to you. It was about 9 i o'clock
Tthe morning when the right of the ad
column emerged from the cleft of
,j,* V>*asatch Mountains known as Emigra
tion Canon, and bcg*n to spread its long
w uvcr the tortuous road down the
•bench" towards the city. The day was
rfectiy clear, and the whole line of march
Joulil be distinctly seen as the troops trail
uiu-foot, to the river-bottom, presenting
•be finest possible view which could be had
/in army in motion. General Johnston
, a j issued an order on the evening preced
r his entrance (o the city, commanding
iise enforcement of the strictest discipline
thile passing through the city, and order-
j 2 the instant arrest of e\ cry man who
leave the column on any pretence
fjutever. The object of this order was
Sieved, and the army presented an ex
japle of the most perfect decorum, nei
jjjer hv word or deed manifesting the least
jfluptmns of the ill-will which it is well
U. 'VD was felt among the troops towards
tli people who kept them freezing on
(ireen River during u long and comfortless
irinter.
The line of the Army, as it trailed intp
lie city, was at least ten miles long, and
lien t!u head of the column had advan
to the temporary camping-ground west
a "the Jordan llivcr flowing through the j
diley bottom, we could look from the Gen
ii's tent and see the glistening bayonets j
jid the snowy wagou covers of the rear
iill defiling out from the mountains. The
s: .ne was magnificent and cheering toGen
jie .-yes. but exceedingly humiliating to
tte lew Mormons vrlio witnessed it—men
[ho had repeatedly prophesied "in the
time of* Israel's God" that the Army should
gerer enter the Valley, and whose private
frnversation and public speeches lor months
have been full of brave declarations of
ieir power and determination to see that
ie prophesy was fulfilled. It is due to
km to remark here, however, that they
maintain their ability to have exclu
jed the Army, declare that they would
me done it had volunteers been sent in
r?ad of "regulars," or if the l'eace U< m
svioners had not came and made them
finises which they chose to accept as eon
cons of their forbearance.
J Visit to Proto—Scenes ami Incidents.
The army being fairly in camp in the
biuu, your correspondent started on Sat
tiny evening for Provo City, forty-eight
tiles south of this place, and in the val
k of Utah Lake, where the head men of
ie Mormon Church, and the mass of the
wple who abandoned their homes in this
are at present congregated. We

led, and a glance at their f >es impressed
me with the conviction that theirs wry the

in which all the higher and holier senti

sacrificed upon the altar of fanaticism,

perhaps, and resigned,—but nevertheless
unhappy victims of self-inflicted tortures
by which they hoped to merit saintly re
ward. 'lo a few of them, perhaps, these
remarks would apply. Some of the young

but the elder, who where educated in circles
where woman was queen rather than vas

WHAT IS DEMOCRACY!
When we consider the importance of the
principle generally termed democracy, how
highly should it be esteemed and dearly
cherished by every true American. It does
pot by any means consist, as some suppose,
in a certain number of men combining to
gether for the purpose of securing power, and
office for themselves and friends, as is now
generally the case. It is indeed astonishing
that a public sentiment so false has been es
tablished to such an extent as to carry these
men into power, and kept them there so long
that they have grown so bold aud impudent
that they claim a sort of divine right for the
party as it is now organized. And woe to
the freeborn citizen who has ever voted with
that partv. who dares to act aud think for
himself. He is hunted down, spotted, and
abused, and if perchance he speaks aught
against the encroachments of Popery, or the
danger to he apprehended from the hordes of
foreign paupers and criminals that are landed
upon our shores f cm month to month and
year to year, or should he speak of the curse
of slavery or the ruinous effects of the free
trade pr.nciples of the democracy, he is de
nounced as a traitor to his country and is
punishable for high treason at the bar of de
mocracy. If therefore the uniting together
of Americans born iu the bonds of the consti
tution, for the preservation of this glorious
Union and the perpetuation of American lib
erty, protection against foreign aggression,
and the advancement of American manufac
turers and laborers, constitutes treason—how
much greater treason is it for Americans to
combine with foreigners and Roman Catholics,
whose works from time immemorial have
proved them to be the enemies of human
freedom and progress, to carry the elections
and influence the government affairs of our
country ? But enough of this; the picture is
too humiliating to dwell upon. There is a
sentiment forming in the American mind
which will correct these abuses; we hear its
notes sounding from the four quarters of our
land, that the party calling itself democratic
has been weighed in the balance and found
wanting, and like Babylon of old is doomed
to fall to rise no more.
True democracy is to be found only in the
masses of the American people ; not in party
leaders nor in the false notions of foreign
politicians, both of which would walk over
the ruins of our constitution to place and
power. AM E KICUS.
J-.jr the l.ntheraa • jbbatti School Journal.
Before taking my leave of your Sabbath
School and many pleasant associations, 1
believe I promised to drop an occasional line
lor t.ie "Journal." And now, if 1 fail to in
tercst you in thi, I shall at all events have
redeemed my promise thus far. Although it
gives me great pleasure to thus address you,
and while I cannot be grateful enough to the
"Giver of ail good" for the enjoyment of this
privilege, yet f would a thousand times rather
spend these few moments in your midst, and
enjoy once more the smiles of so many happy
countenances.
Since 1 have been in this city I have visited
several Sabbath Schools, but in order that
my letters may not be too long. go as to weary
you, I shall speak of but one in each letter ;
and a- I visited the Baptist's first, their school
will form the subject of my first letter. Du
ring my first visit to this school, while I was
carefully scrutinizing the general arrangement
of the room, the map u , furniture, book-case,
desk, Ac., 1 was reminded very much of tlie
many pleasant hours I had spent as a teacher
in the Lutheran Sabbath School in Lewistown.
Old and new thoughts came rushing upon me,
and I almost forgot that I was more than a
thousand miles from my little class in the
corner of your room. I looked around me
and I saw bosks, classes, teachers, superin
tendent, girls and boys; but in the superin
tendent. teachers and scholars, I did not see
my old friends Hamilton, Willis, Dr. Martin,
Hoover, Blymyers, Hostetler, Alter, Warner
and others, —not mentioning the pleasant la
dies aud smiling, rosy cheeked girls and boys
of Lewistown Sabbath Schools. The Baptists
appear to be the most numerous here, conse
quently they have a large and splendid church;
yet their school is not so large, numbering
not more than two hundred pupils. The su
perintendent, sbserving that I was a stranger,
approached~me, and after numerous observa
tions and remarks, inquired among other
things whether I had been a teacher, or in any
way connected with a Sabbath School, to
which I felt proud to reply that I hud been a
teacher for some time in the Lutheran Sab
bath School of Lewistown, Pa. On asking
him the cause of so many vacant seats, he re
plied, that many of the parents were indifferent
about sending their children, or they might
have more than three hundred present every
Sabbath. On Saturday, the day previous to
this visit, the school had been enjoying a
"May-day picnic." They met in a grove five
miles south of the city. A free pass was giv
en to all parties in attendance by the managers
of the Pensacola Railroad, which led by the
grove. All seemed happy and delighted with
the excursion. The superintendent congrat
ulated ail on having such a pleasant time, and
returned his thanks to the pupils, in behalf
of their teachers, for their good conduct in
the grove. He told them they all "behaved like
perfect little ladies and gentlemen." The
school was closed by repeating the Lord's
Prayer. Some negro children were sitting on
the steps and on a low bench by tbe door. I
supposed them to be servants who had charge
of some of the Sabbath School children.
They dared not participate in the exercises,
though while singing I observed they joined
the school in carrying the tune, while they
did not know one word from another. Yet
♦ hey seemed happy enough to be allowed the
privilege of assisting in the music without the
words. The thought occurred to me that if
their skin had been white instead f black,
they might also have been allowed to say
"Our Father who art in Heaven" with the
rest; but they remained silent all the while,
not daring to unite in claiming paternity with
iliin "who looketh riot on the outward ap
i pearance but on the heart." It is hard enough
to ho deprived of earthly parents, but when
we cannot claim God as "our Father," wc are
truly orphans indeed !
in my next I shall speak of the Presbyte
rian School. Meanwhile I remain your sin
cere friend and fellow laborer in the Sabbath
School cause. G. W. F.
Montgomery, Ala., May, 1858.
W3!u\Ve copy the following from the Al
toona Tribune of July 29 :
Messrs. Editors—Rev. Henry Baker, the
former Pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church of this place, was present last Satur
day and Sunday to conduct the preparatory
services, and administer the Sacrament. The
congregation was aware of his coming, and
on Saturday and Saturday night he preached
to a large audience which he held in wrapped
attention during the delivery of his sermons.
On Sabbath morning he preached to a densely
crowded house—many, iudeef, having gone
away unable to get seats —after which, assis
ted by Rev. C. P. Krauth of Pittsburgh, he
administered the Sacrament to about two
hundred communicants. The associations
which clustered around Pastor and people
added solemnity to the scene which oft before
had encouraged their hearts, lo the evening
Mr. Krauth preached to a large congregation
assembled to hear him ; and f can safely say
that he did not fail to do his duty and to leave
the impression on the minds of his hearers
that he was a e/ood man, a talented preacher
and one who understood his business and his
subject. Well may the congregation feel en
couraged that, although now and for many
months destitute of a regular Pastor, they
have maintained their consistency and their
love for the church of their adoption.

PROFESSOR WOOD'S HAIR RESTORATIVE.
We would call the attention of all, old and young, lo
ill s wonderful preparation which lurns hack lo its origi
nal color gray hair, covers the head with a luxuriant
growth, removes tile ilnndruiT. it• hing, and all cutaneous
eruptions, causes a cut initial llotv of the natural fluids,
and hence, if used as a regular dressing for the hair will
preserve its color, ami keep it from falling to extreme old
age, in all its natural beautj We call then upon tlie
bald, the gray, or diseased in scalp, lo use it ; ami surely
lhe young will not, as they value the 11 nv lug locks or ihe
witching curl, ever lie without tt. Its praise is upon lire
tongue of Ihnu.-andc. The agent for Prof. Wood's Hair
Restorative in New Haven, received rlie follow ing letter
in regard to the Restorative a few weeks since :
DEEP RIVER, CONN , July 23, IS.'B.
Mr. Leavenworth—Sir: —I have been troubled with
dandruff or scurf on my head for more than a jear, my
hair began to come out, scurf and hair together. I saw
in a New Haven paper about 'Wood's Hair Restorative'
as u cure. 1 called at your store on the Ist of April last,
and purchased one bottle lotry it, und I found to my sat
isfaction it was ihe thing ; it removed the scurf and new
iiair began lo grow ; it is now two or three inches in
length where it was ALL off. I have great tailh HI it I
wish you to send me two bottles more by Mr. Post, the
heari r of this. 1 don't know as any of the kind is used
in this place; you may have a market for uiuny bottles
after It is known here. Yours with respect,

Prof. Wood —Dear Sir: —Your llati Restorative is pro
ving itself beneficial to me. The front, and also the back
part of my head almost lost it* covering—iu lact BALD.
1 have used but two half pint bottles of your Restorative
ai d now the top of my head is well studded with a prom
ising crop of young hair, and tile front is also receiving
its benefit. 1 have tried other preparations without any
henefii whatever. 1 think from my own personal recom
rueridatiou 1 can induce many others to tiy it.

VISCKNNES, lA., June 22, 1853.
Prof. OJ. Wood—As you are about to manufacture
and vend your recently discovered Hair Restorative, I
will state, for whomsoever it may concern, that I have
used it and known others to use it— that 1 have for sev
eral years been in the habit of using other Hair Restora
lives, and lhat I find yours vastly superior lo any other I
know. It entirely cleanses the head of dandruff, and
with one month's proper use w ill restore any person's
hair to the original youthful color und texture, giving it a
healthy, soft and glossy appearance ; and all this without
discoloring the hands thai apply it, or the dress on which
it dropa. I would therefore recommend its use to every
one desirous of having a fine color and texture to hair.

Patent Galvanic Cement
C£-> Li° 2XI £t tl SSI gjp =>'
undersigned having purchased the
I JL • ight fur this Cement in Mifflin and Cen
! tre counties, are now prepared to furnish and
I put it on rooting wherever desired—the roof
being sheeted by the owner. Scientific men
under the directiou of government, and ar
chitects and builders in various parts of the.
country, for years have been studying and
experimenting to discover some composition
or article for roofing, which would resist the
clian ges of our climate, and would unite the
qualities of Lnperviousness to Wafer, Incom
bustibility, Durability and Cheapness. No
article now in use possesses these qualities.
Shingles are not tire proof, and cannot be used
upon fiat roofs. Slate can only be used upon
steep roofs. The contraction, expansion and
rusting of metallic roofs are so great in this
changeable climate that they soon become
worthless, or the repairs will cost more than
a now roof. The various cements and com
positions which have been introduced, can be
supplied only to very tint roofs, and they are
all so affected by the action of the weather
that they will melt and run in summer and
crack in winter, and in a short time become
crumbly and worthless. The inventor of the
Galvanic Cement has labored twenty years to
obviate these difficulties, and it is believed by
those who have bad opportunities to test the
matter, that be has entirely succeeded. As
now applied,
First—lt is completely impervious to water.
Water may continually stand uptoh the roof
without affecting it in the least.
Second —It is tire-proof. It is so incombus
tible that it will afford ample and perfect pro
tection against tire, sparks and burning shin
gles from another building immediately ad
joining.
Third—lt is durable. It is not injured by
atmospheric changes, hov ing been tested for
several years by the l'atcntee, at Syracuse,
New York.
Fourth—lt is cheap. Roof* will bo put on
for about half the cost of tio, and -ill last
much lunger.
Fifth—Repairs are easily ami cheaply in.id..
Sixth —lt is sufficiently elastic to entirely,
resist the expansion and contraption by heat
and cold, aud will remain perfect and solid in
the warmest and coldest weather.
Seventh—lt is adapted to all kinds of roofs,
either flat or steep. ,
Eighth—lt is valuable for repairing old
roofs. Old shingle roofs may be coverec
without removing the shingles. Old metalic
roofs can be made perfectly tight aud secure.
Ninth—lt is especially adapted to all kinds
of seaming around battlements, sky-lights
and chimneys, and for the lining of eave
gutters. Roofs which have given
trouble for years, and which have continued
to leak in spite of all efforts, can be made
perfectly secure by this cement.
Tenth —It has bo n proved to be the best
article ever used for covering car tops and
steamboat decks.
Eleventh—This cement applied to new tin
roofs preserves them from rusting, by fur
nishing a coat which is at once impervious to
water and an almost perfect non-conductor of
heat.
Twelfth—lt is the only roofing material
patented which contains India rubber and
gutta percha.
For particulars of this cement, owners of
property will please address LOQKE
