What most impresses me, in contemplating his life and character, is their symmetry and I rounded completeness: He was not exception ally great in one direction only ; wherever you touched him you felt the firm muscle of his intellectual strength. He saw all sides with cosy - deal appreciation. HIS mind,' like the wheels 'of EzekieP:s: vision, was "full of ,eyes, roundabout" He 'had a broad, gene rous, nature, and neither art, nor science, • nor philosophy, could overlay and smother his .humamty. The profoundest of all students of the laws of the universe, he was never intlillerent lb the welfare of his fellow-men. .Hp hated all - slaVerY,mental,. spiritual) pbYsichl.

Is it impossible. is it difficult to carry out what we 'have ;indicated 'with the maritime forces of Spain? We will 'now analyze the propesition.. • We have seven magnifiCent' iron-covered . ',frigates, one of which is in 'process Of , con struction, but will be ready, at itirthest,in three months for, service. We have eleven others of wood, the meanest of which is better than the best Anierican, and there are three others, side-wheeled, excellent for blockading :pur poses. There are twenty-one ahips'•fitted for, combat, seven of which are the best known to military science in the whole world; do our readers understand? Besides, there are ,two magnificent corvettes, the Dona Marie de Olin a,. an d El Tornado; twenty-two side-wheel steamers, one of ten guns, seven of six guns ) and the others of two guns; and we count 27 screw schooners, having from two to five guns each: We. had almost, forgotten our military transports, which belong to the coast goard, the training-school vessels, and .the eight gunboats that are in the Phillipines. We have only mentioned the 71 ships, which canoe organized in divisicins for the war to which we allude, and now we will speak of the manner of making the blockade effective. With the Southern ports • we - shall have nothingto do. -The States to which these ap pertain groan under the military voke of the nation, and long to shake it off. Who knows to what point their hatred will go (now sup pressed for the moment) should such a war as thishreak out, We have letters heaped up around us, expressing the desire that an occa sion would offer itself so that the writers Might declare' themselves independent. Let us leave them champing the uneasy bit Which tynanny has put bite, their mouths ; and we will ca.t our eyes from Philadelphia toward the North, and then fix our militaryidea4. Commencing at the incontestible proposi-. thm that cuirassed ships have no rivals in this country, we wilt . place ten- of 'ours at', the month of the Delaware, if only to do honor to the great number, of monitors which are in Philadelphia. Accompanying these two iron covered frigates there will be one of wood . and.three side-wheel steamers, and thus Phila delphia will 'be effectually blockaded, because as against a Spanish naval diviaion, of this class tiireis nothing in the American marine successfullY opposed. If any one, knows anything on this point which is not, within the range of our information, let him state it, and ^tree us at once from hy pothetical speculations. Towards blockading New York as it ought to be in order to be-effective according . to the law of nations, we shall employ other eight or nine vessels; viz.: One cuirassed frigate, three sid&wheel steamers and two or three screw schooners. This will be the mortal stroke, - fired at the heart-of-the-American nation -and--I which, at the end of two mouths, will oblige it, notwithstanding its ridiculous and overweening vanity, to beg peace of Spain. Boston must likewise be - blockaded. It is • an important depot for European commerce, and is in the northern part of the Model Republic. Another iron covered steamer, with three orfour more other ships, will be sufficient for this purpose. Let' us resume : We shall employ in the three hi° ckades that we have indicated four ouirassed , ships, eight side-wheel ships, and five screw schooners. And as this nation has arsenals whieh ought to be destroyed, another flying division of four frigates, two of these withbut iron-protecting sides, must go out on this im liortantconinssion along the North 'American coast. These ships can likewise go out to sea against any important expedition that may sail to • Cuba. America is,a country of braggarts, and nothing. will be easier than to learn every thing with respect to the projectS had under consideration, with the minutest details; and these can-be - communicated in a very short • moo to any place where oursliips mayhappen to be. As the readers of El Croldsta will see, kith 2ti or 28 of the 71:ships of war at- our dis position for military operations, we can hu miliate coMpletely this nation. Finally, there will be for the further necessities of Cuba, Spain, Africa, and the Philipines, more . than -10 other ships, without counting the 18 gun boats in this last archipelago. Are we provoked to war? then let us have it. We will henceforth offer all that we have and are; even what may be realized from the sale of the El Croni,ita establishiiient, and our own person beside. God will watch over our family. Then here'a to Spain forever and for 7 ward I " One of Brigham Young's Daughters Tries to Elope-41er Scheme Frustrated.

Sincediew ever, I have received -confirmation sufficient to convince me that it is substantially true. It seems that the Mormon girls who have not yet "got religion" are very much opposed to polygamy. They had rather spend an hour in the company of a congenial sinner than a year in that of a saint, especially if the former is young, holds • his head high, and is withal -good-lookinz--There—are—oecasionally----such-- among-the--Gentilesi- never --among:the mons. The girls call the young saints 'Cayuses,l' the Gentiles , them "Yahoos."
