MOBMONIBM-; 'in Wt«ttTO ’AND. DESIGNS.. By
. John SrWi j r.formerly a Mormon leader and Ptea;<
dent of Salt Lake City. 1-Vol, 12njo. pp. 336. Fed
■ ridge, New York; T. jB. Philadelphia.
i Ttiis has been announced as a work on Mor
rmonlsm by' “Elder any one should
thence get the belief thst,ity ajithor is Orson
Slormoii leader, he. will
2 b6miifehinißtoken. Tile aiithoiyas we learii
from what' he tells; of hbiself, (ivhlch \i not
much,) is anEnglishman, 1 who, m f September,
dS4B, was baptized, into Monnonlsra, being then
a boy of fifteen years. Two’raohths later, this
, precocious y'outh whs ordained, a Priest; and was
'occupied on a preaching topr. through England,
,Tiuti! June, 1851; when hh 'was’appointed to
.■join the French Mission. In August, 1851, he’
was ordaitied “one of the Seventies.”' He
.continued On the French Mission; between the
Channel Islands and Havre-de-Grace until Jan
uary; 1853, ’andsoonafter left England for this
country, 1 reaching Salt Lake City in October;
Married U young lady to whom he had been
engaged'in London; and opened a school. In
February, 1854, initiated into, the mys
teries of the . “Mormon endowment,” and
would have, gone .to. California,, but want of
means prevented him. In April, 1866, he was
sent as a Missionary to the Sandwioh Islands,
and had" to leave his wife with her relatives iu
Salt%ake.OUy, and on his voyage determined
not only to renounce Mormonism, but lay his
experience of it before the world. He was
solemnly cut off from “ The Church” in Janu
ary, 1857, it being unanimously voted “ that
he be delivered-over to Satan to be buffeted in
tne flesh.” At the same time'his family was
ijot ’cut’ off, (Mrs. H. was probably well-look
■ ihg;) but it was declared that she-was set free
from him. : There seems'no reason to doubt
the truth, pf Mr, John Hyde’S account pf him-'
sblf* ’ .It'would appear, also, that he left Salt
Lake City with a testimonial of good charac
tbr.' Jlis experience in the Mormon ministry,
the position which’ he attained,' and his resi
dence Utah, amply qualify him for : the
quthOrslflp of a startling work on Mormons aud
Mormonism. Hisbook contains several curi
ous revelations,' and. some striking’ sketches of
Mormon leaders, hut it is terribly spun out and
Wire-drawn. A large part of it is.devoted to a
discussioTi on the authenticity of. the Book of
Mormon=ahd Theological 'and MoraT Arraign
ment of the practice of Polygamy., Iho most
tfac'y portions of this book are those'which re
late to polygamy ‘s but the subject is scarcely
Suited to the columns of a newspaper. The
same cause makes us pass over the account of
the mysteries of initiation. A J long account
Of Brigham Young to'given. The following
ire extracts: <
[ It may he interesting to ask what is his appear
ance and Style. In person he Is rather, large and
portly, has an imposing carriage and very impres
sive manner. To pass him in the street, he is one
hf those men wo .should naturally turn round to
look after. In private Conversation, ho is pointed,
but affable, very.conrteous to strangers, knows he
fs the objoet of muoh curiosity, takes it as a matter
bf course.^and, ,80 long as.the curiosity is not im
pertinent,. Is very friendly. He talks freely, in an
pff-band style, on any subject, does not get much
time to, read, and, therefore, often blunders grossly;
ho ia much mote an Observer than reader; thoroughly
knows men, a point in whiohSmith'wosvery weak,
[although he boasted “ tho Lord tells me 1 who to
-trust. Men not books, deeds not words, . houses
jnot theories,’ the tarik and hot, the heaven, now
and not hereafter, Is, Brigham’s view of matters.
[Hence bis religion is all practical ; and, conse
jquontly, hence his praotical success.
: Brigham inacourioil and Brigham in the pulpit
(are not the same. Under the forceof-his prophetic
(afflatus,, he talks, till/on reviewing hia remarks,
he has to say, “17611, Well, wor<|s‘Are only wind.”
‘This is onoo made. In couiicil ho ia
(calm,, deliberate, and very*politic; neither hastily
,decided, nor easily moved when'decided.- His
shrewdness is often/however, baffled by n. set of
[sycophants that he has around him. He has un
justly brow-beaten and crushed sevoral of his warm
believers through the instigations of men “whom I
thought I could believe.” So complete inbisas
cehdunoy that they; however, have only bowed their
[headland tried .to do, bettor. The same potty
jealousies, secret mdnouyorihgs, pandering flattery,
and entire self-abnegation, characterize his, ns
any other great matva satelites. One difference
exists, and that is this, however- bickering among
themselves, they would all dio for Brigham Young.
One of the severest tests pf grontnesals the power
to oomplctely center In orioßelf a thousand interests
aqd thed§ep affections pf a thousand hearts. All
really great men have done this. Philosophy jins
had its disciples, adventurers their followers, gen
erals their soldiers, kings their subjects, impostors
their Mohammed,Smith, Brigham have
all, been thus. No man ever lived who had m6re
deeply dovOted friends,fhoh Brigham Young. 1 The
magnetism tbatattractsand infatuates, that makes
men feel its weight and yet love its presence,
abounds iu him. Evenhis enemies have to acknow
ledge a great charm in the influence . he throws
around'him. 1 -The clerks in his office and bis very
wives feel the same veneration for the Prophet, as
the most respectful new-comer. It is thus alto In
public orations; he soon winds a thrall round his
hearers. Bad, jokes, low .ribaldry, meaningless
nonsonse, and pompous Bwagger that would disgust
| when coming from any one etoe, nmqse and interest
from him. lhaveseen him bring an audience to
their feet and draw out thundering responses more
than once. Sermons that appear a more farcical
rhodomontode have,been powerful when they were
spoken by him, , His manner is pleasing ana unaf
fected, his matter perfectly impromptu and un
studied. Ho does not tfreapA but inerely tails: ‘ His
vp\ce i 8 *Q n orquf,bpd bo is an etcellept
bass singer.' His gestures are easv and seldom vio
lent,.. He feds Sis' sermons;, tho people gee ho
feela them, and, therefore) they-make themselves
felt. He makes constant and unmist&kablo allu
sions to individuals;-imitating their personal ap
pearance and peculiarities, and repeating their ex
pressions. Brigham ia a good mimio, and very
roadilypxcitoslaughtor. Much that tolls, there
fore/very galltagly to Salt Lake audiences, wjip
understand the allusions and recognize tho parties,
seems ridiculous when read. Even on reading,
after donuding his sermons of the ridiculous and
obscure, there is tin evident Vein of strong, practi
cal sense. They are, however, much garbled in
printing, and are still more‘Coarse ana profane,
when spoken. Brigham has no cduoation. no
never writes bis letters, merely, dictates them.
This was also theonstom of J. Smith. Smith’s let
ters to A- Bennett, Olay, and Calhoun, and his ad-,
dress as candidate for the Presido&oy, whioh was
thought to so dearly evince the man, were written
by Phelps, the Mormon devil, W\ Clayton, 1 and
others.. Inlike rnannor, the’epistles, addresses and
messages that simple Saints Have believed were tho
divine effusions nf “Brigham’s grapbiopeu” (!)
were written by General D./W. wells, Albert Car-,
rington, and outers. Hisautograph, which 1b quite
charaoteristie, dashed energetically up and down
and curling off with a little flourish, is almost as
far as Brigham’s ohirogrophy extends.
: Brigham has' tome floventeeri’o’r eighteen of his
Wives in his “Lion House.’’ !Each wife has a
separate sleeping apartment, fcxoept in of dis
chrdedones who sleep by..twos, The rooms aro
scrupulously clean and neat; sufficiently, but not
well furnished. They 6re the sitting-rooms during
the daytime for their occupants. When well, all
in that and the adjoining house are expected to eat
at the general table. It is a oorious spectacle in
Brigham’s' dining-hall. Wires, children, work
men, visitor*, a .orpwd of hungry dinner-seekers.
It needs no email amount of cooking, nor any slight
quantity of edibles. Brigham keeps no servants;
his wives, unless slok, wait on themselves. In that
case, they must wait on each other. Cooking,
cleaning, dairy-work, washing, mending, tending
ohildren, has'to’be distributed among them ac
cording to the taste and skill of each; .or else, by
the absolute and final diotum of the prophet! Be*
foratho general tfible system was adopted, each
wife was supplied in rotation, and by weight and
budal' barops;,Brigham is,,obliged to keep a stew
ard and purveyor-lfor bis numerous dependants. ‘
It must not berimagined that there wives lead
an idle life. Brigham is a working man. Sternly
practical in his views of polioy, keening the whole
of the people oonstoutty and diligently at work, he
makes his household a pattern for tho Saints:
“There must be no idlorem Zion, no dronoain the
hive,’* is Brigham’s hobby-ory, and consequently
the whole of his family work. His sons, among the
stock, herding, branding, driving. His wives at
household affairs, looms, spinning-wheels, knitting:
teedles, and quiUing-frameß. They boastvery ex
tensively of how many stockings, quilts, yards of
flannel, linsey, and carpet they havo mode. “If
a .woman can hot support horeelf, and partly pro
vide for her family, she is only half a woman,” soy
Mormon domestio economists. , > ,
Tho whole secret of BrigbainVinflucnco lies in
his realsiilctrity. • Brigham may be a great man,
greatly deceived, but he is not, q-bypoorfto* Smith
was an Impostor; that can.be clearly established.
Brigham Young embraced Mormohism in sincerity,
ooQ6olontiouBly be)levcd, faithfully practiced, and
enthusiastically taught it. As devoted to Smith as
Kimball is now to himself, he reverenced him as a
Prophet, and loved hint as a man. Por the sake
of his religion, he has over and over again left his
family, Confronted the world, endured hunger,
oamo back poor, made wealth, and gavo it to the
Church/ Ho holds himself prepared, to lead his
people in sacrifice and want, os in plenty and ease.
No holiday friend, nor summer Prophet, he has
shared their trials, ns well os their prosperity. He
never protends to more than <* thoi inward moni
tions of the Spirit*/’ and, not ns Smith,to diroct re
vilatiohs/and physical manifestations. No man
prays more fervently, nor more frequently than
Brigham Young. No mancan more win the hearts,
or, Impress the minds of his hearers than Brigham,
while |n prayer. Pew men can porslstlh boliev
ing bim a hypocrite, after hoaring him thus pray,
either in his family ? or in private meetings, or In
public. lam convinced that if he ho ah impostor,
he has commenced by imposing on himself.
Prighoin, bowov.er deceived, isstlli, a bad map,
and a dangerous man; and as much more danger
ous,.being sincere in thinking ho .is doing God’s
Work/ aea madman Is than an impostor; one being
accessible to reason and inducement; and the other
knowing no reason but impotence, and no induce
ment but constraint. ,
* There are several wood engravings in the
volume, chiefly portraits. That of-Brigham
Young shows a young man of six And-twenty,
whereas the original is fully thirty years older.

MISS MADELEINE SMITH,
In the English papers received by the late
arrivals ftom Europo, we find narrated some
after scenes in the caso of Mis 3 Madeleine
Smith, tried at Edinburgh for poisoning her
lover. Miss Smith’s conduct after her release
Was in keeping with her deportment during the
trial. She exhibited, it is said, the same non-,
clialance, criticised freely the pleadings of
counsel, nnd pronounced the presiding judge
“a tediou(i old man,” in his smithing up. A
ruse you , racticed by her legal agent to get
her awa.- unobserved, after the close of tho
trial. A girl about tho same stature ns Miss
Smith was procured to personate her, and
dressed in garments previously worn by Miss
S., the girl was borne, amid the pressure of tho
crowd, to a carriage, and drivon off at a rapid
speed, followed by the whole crowd of curios
ity-mongers. Miss Smith, accompanied by
her brother and another young gentleman, then
departed quietly for Glasgow, where her father
resides.
Her father, it is said, rolhsed to see her,
and it is believed she has ere this, taken her
departure for a foreign country, ncr mother
is in a dying condition, caused, it is supposed,
by the shame, and terrible grief felt for her
daUghtci-’s position. An enterprising London
exhibitor of wax-works has placed a full-length
figure of Miss Smith in his collection at the
Crystal Palace, and tho likeness is said to be
perfect. Miss Smith’s father is a strict reli
gionist, and brought up Ilia daughter to the ob
servance of all the forms of hiu faith; but as
she reached womanhood she cast aside, it is
said, religious hooks, and corrupted her morals
by reading with insatiable avidity the worst and
most immoral class of novels.
While her morals were thus undermined, the
necessity of her position obliged her to keep
up before her father and ftiendS an appearance
of rigid morality. 1 Thus having an inner and
an outer life, she became trained in hypocricy,
and it is related of her that on the day before
she ran away from her father’s house, after
L’Angeller’a death, she was closeted with the
pastor of the church in which she sat, convers
ing with him with a view to obtain a “ token,”
or certificate for the sacramental table. She
is said to have been a great favorite with the
old clergyman ever since she was a little girl,
and used, since he became old and infirm, to
call on him frequently, to read to him.
In explanation of the cheering which fol
lowed the announcement of tho verdict “Not
proven,” it is stated that there was oxtensivo
and heavy betting on tho result; nnd that the
winners could not repress their joy at their own
good luck I Among the most conspicuous in
tho demonstrations of applause was a young
medical student, who shouted and danced in
an ecstacy of joy. It was subsequently ascer
tained that ho had won about thirty sovereigns
by the verdict. Miss Smith’s defence cost
£4,000, or twenty thousand dollars. This
Sum, and more, was subscribed by a few Glas
gow merchants. One old bachelor put li!h
name down for a thousand pounds. Tho firm
■to which Mr. Minnoch, hor second choice be
longs,offered a like sum, and so did a rich
uncle from whom she had expectations; but
at tho time tho subscriptions were mado, the
facts developed On the trial were not known.
The Dean of the Faculty, whoso dofenco of
the accused is landed extravagantly, and whoso
addross to tho jury moved to admiration all
who heard it, received $1,250 os a retainer,
and a “refresher” of £7O, or $B5O, every morn
ing of tho trial. The junior counsel associated
with the Dean received in all, for his services,
£4OO, or two thousand dollars. Regarding
Miss Smith’s guilt, opinion is still dovided.
Of course, she assorts her innocenco in the
most earnest manner, but whether innocent or
guilty, she is suffering the penalty of hor fall
from the paths of virtue N. Y. Sun.
We copy the following from the Boston Daily
Courier, an old line Whig paper:
“ It is not often that wo agreo with tho speoula
tions of the editors of the Traveller , but thoir
paper or yesterday eontains an articlo which we
extract outire, and which, though in an unconollia
tory tone, contains some important truths stronply
stated. This article maintaina, what wo havo long
felt to be true, that the interest of she sluvehold*
ing States was steadily, and in some casoa rapidly,
effecting the disappearance of slavery, certainly in
a portion of them. This operation is most appn*
rent at this time in Missouri., This great State
contains an immense body of unimproved fertile
land, inexhaustible miueral rosourcos, and advan
tages for natural water communication, perhaps
beyond any other State in tho Union; but hor citi
zens are horning to perceive that., owing to tho
existence ot slavery, tho great tides of immigra
tion, from tho Eastern States and from Europe,
seek another direction. Unimproved lands in
lowa, possessing inferior advantages of soil and
olmiato, are in greater request than improved
lands in Missouri. This great fact within his per
sonal knowledge and daily Inspection, speaks move
poreunslvolv to the landholder in Missouri in favor
9* l abolition of slavery in six months, than, to
use the forcible words of our neighbor, ‘all tho
moral and religious lectures in tho whole North
could do iu as many years, preaoh they ever so
eloquently or loudly.’ ”
Our neighbor might have included another olnss
of writers and speakers, to whom the same remark
applies still more forcibly, and that is political
agitators. Not only arc their efforts, from the na
ture of tho oase, as unavailing as those of “the
moral and religious lecturers, ,? but they aro posi
tively harmful, because thoy produco a political
reaction in the alaveholding States. Tho wholo
political movement in Kansas, as far as Missouri
was concerned, was the work of political intriguers,
striving to make themselves important ns the
champions of a great (Southern interest; and the
whole system of political agitation carried on at
the North had the effect of putting arms in their
hands. Tho ablest allios of Atchison and String
follow wore their violent politicui denouncers.
Our neighbor also, without intending it, fur
nishes the most complote justification of tho course
pursued by conservative men nt tho North, and
the most decisive condemnation of its own course.
Conservative men, feoling the extreme delicacy
of the question, have confined' themselves to a
temperate opposition to Southern views, when
forced by,territorial acquisitions before Congress;
and havo avoidod tho language of irritation,
which, as the evil of slavery could bo removod
only by the co-operation of the slaveholder, must,
of necessity, be the source of mischief; not of good;
and have especially denreoated the organization of
a party on the basis of the anti-slavery feoling of
the North, as a meosaro of absolutely fatal tenden
cy. Tho Republican leaders aud presses have
pursued the opposite courso. Professing not to
,iapprove tho measures (?) of tlio ultra abolitionists,
thoy adopt all their language and share with
them the work of inflaming tho country by a
continual' agitation. Not content with this, they
denounce as an enemy of freedom every man who
differsfrom them as to theexpediencyof this course
pf violent agitattqn, thus stifling, as far as possible,
the ntte'raocq, pf modern counsels. Having, in
this W,broken,up the old political parties, by in
troducing ah exciting question of paramount in,
torest* they have organised ft new party on a basis
and for objects whioh make it impossible for any
oil* an d character in the slave-,
holding States to act with them. In taking tills

s . IRON AfHM&PPBRv
Interestlna OUiclttl StaU»iic» r TUe Stale &e
-parimerit Report!.
. A parliamentary report recently published
in Greai Britain exhibits some interesting sta-*
tiatics relative to the production of iron and
Copper in all countries,' Tbp total quantity of
■pig iron produced, it appears, is 6,000,000 tons,
viz: Great Britain. 8,000,000 tons; France,
750,000 tons; United States, 760,000 tons;
Prussia, 800,000 tons) Austria, 250,000 tons;
Belgium, 200,000 tons) Russia, 200,000 tons;
Sweden, 160,000 tons j various Mates bf Germa
ny, 100,000 ibus) other countries; 200,000 tons.
A comparison of the countries which chiefly
produce iron for the last twenty years shows
that Great Britain increased, in 1850,244 per
cent.; the United States, in 1860,171 per cent;;
France, in 1846,141 per cent.; Russia, in 1849
-’6O, 20 per cent.; German customs union,
(Zollverein,) in 1860, 60 percent.; Austria, in
1850, 180 per cent.; Norway, in 1841-45, 62
per cent.
Much valuable information is spread before
tho British Parliament in reference to the
causes which have retarded the development
of this branch of industry throughout the
world. The protective duties on iron in France
are ably discussed, and tho causes of the ab
sence of progress in the iron production in that
country are thus classified: 1, the revolution of
1848; 2, want of railroads; 8, apathy among
manufacturers; 4, unfavorable sites formerly
chosen for works; 5, the tenure of property and
the system of carrying on works by paid mana
gers ; 6, the interference of government with
the affairs of the miner; 7, the ancient custom
of Using charcoal and wood; 8, tho absence of 1
banking accommodation.
In respect to Prussia, it appears, from a criti
cal review of the metal producing interests of
that country, that the restraining influence of
the government is injuriously felt. Little or
no competition exists either for trade or for
orders, for a close combipation of the whole
trade, both in Rhenish Prussia and in Silesia,
has been established.
Tho Swedish government has always mani
fested a great interest in the development of
this important branch of its mental industry*
It has lately abolished the feu4»l rights and
privileges of the nobility, who bkd enjoyed
previously certain preferences os Iron-mas
ters, and the iron trade was opened to a free
market. Until very lately the exportation of
pig iron was prohibited, in order to encourage
the manufiicture of bar iron; in .Sweden this
law,is now repoaled, and pig iron can cither
be exported or imported by payment'of a
duty of $3 per ton. In Russia the manufac
ture of iron bos made the greatestprogress.
Notwithstanding extensive protection, as no
iron can he imported by sea, and the duty by
land on pig iron is 600 per cent., the produc
tion of iron in Russia is only 8.7 pounds, and
tho consumption 9.7 lbs. Riiss. per inhabitant;
whereas, in England the production is 281,
and the consumption 238.4 pounds Russ, per
inhabitant. In Belgium the production of
iron has increased very considerably. In the
United States it is also on tho increase, but
with us tho consumption of iron per capita of
our population is greater even than in England.
In 1854 tho consumption was estimated at
1,824,774 tons, of which 805,000 tons was of
domestic production, and 600,000 tons ira
ported from Great Britain. With regard to
steel, tho manufacture of cast and shear steel
in Great Britain in 1856 was estimated at
080,000 tons. In Franco the consumption,
during eighteen years has been four-ftflhs of
that consumed in Groat Britain. Tho iron
used in Franco in 1835 was n little over a third
of that used in England; ,in 18 years it in
creased to nearly half tho quautity worked up
in Great Britain.
Tho total value of copper raised in 1854 was
$11,659,020. Tho production, consumption
and reduction, of copper from the ore in dif
ferent countries for 1846 are given as follows:
In Groat Britain copper annually raised
amounts to 15,800 tons; consumption; 10,600
tons; copper annually smolted, 28,600 tons.
France raised (in 1846) 80 tons; consumed
9.200 tons; smelted’7oo tons. Russia raised
3,900, consumed 2,000, smolted 3,900 tons.
Austria raised 4,500 tons, consumed 2,600 tons,
smelted 4,600 tons. Sweden and Norway raised
2.200 tons, consumed 400 tons, smelted 2,100
tons. Zollverein raised 1,600 tons, consumed
5,400 tons, smelted 1,500 tons. Turkey in
Europe and Mediterranean States raised 3,100
tons, consumed 6,600, and smelted 2,800 tons.
America, including Cuba and Chili, raised 16,-
600 tons, consumed 6,100 tons, smelted 6,900.
Occanica, Australia, New Zealand and Asia
raised 2,400 tons, consumed 8,300. Japan
raised 2,400 tons, consumed 1,200 tons, smelt
ed 2,400. Total raised, 62,430 tons; con
sumed, 62,400 tons, aud smelted annually 52,-
400 tons.
Under the operation of the French naviga
tion laws, the French smelter is most disad
vantageously situated, as he cau only receive
his ore at tho low duty when carried in the
ships belonging to his own country, the pro
bability being that only one out of twelve
vessels sailing from any particular port is a
Freuch vessel, while the total tonnage of
French vessels is only one-elghteentb of the
whole mercantile navy afloat.— Washington

Report of the Committee appointed to Superintend the
burning of the Iron Safes at Reading , February
271A,1857: Reading, March 4th.
The undersigned, members of the committee, do re
spectfully report, that we saw the two Safes originally
agreed upon hy Farrels Herring and Evans A Watson,
{■laced side by side in a furnace, viz: the Safe in use by
he Paymaster of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail
road Company, in hi# office at Reading, manufactured
by Farrels A Herring, and the Safe in use byH. A.
Lahtz, luhls store, manufactured by Evans A Watson,
and put in books and papers precisely alike.
The fire was started at 8)( o’clock, A. M., and kept
up until four cords of green hickory wood, two cordß of
dry oak and half che#faut-top wood were entirely con
sumed. the whole under the superintendence of the
subscribers, members of the committee. The Safes
were then cooled off with water, after which they were
opened, and the books and papers taken out by the
committee and sent to H. A. Lantz’s store, for public
examination, after they wore first examined and marked
by the committee. The books and papers taken from
the Safa manufactured by Evans A Watson were but
slightly affected by the intense hebt, while those taken
from the Safe manufactured by Farrels A Herring were,
in our judgment, damaged fully fifteen per cent, more
than those taken from Evans A'Watson’s Safe.
We believe the above to have been a fair and impar
tial trial of the respective qualities of both Safes.
