The month of May hns been much found fault with, because the weatLer was chilly and disagreeable on some few days. In 1857 May went out with u heavy frost, which did much mischief through out the country.

Tho weather, so far this season, has been most propitious for the success of the crops. The wheat, rye and oats looks as well as could be desired. Corn hi coming up nicely, and the "garden truck" is all in an advanced state of growth. The fruit also promises well apples and peaches particu larly. A more than average yield of furm products is anticipated. People who own large, well stocked, well planted, and well cultivated furms, ought to feel particularly prosperous. Hope tbey do and we 'spose there will be more weddings this searon than is nsnal in one year, among the young agri culturists. 62" Traveling beggars are on the increase.

The conn'.ry never looked more lovely than at the present season especially to one ac customed to the eonntry, after a confinement' of tome fiva or tlx weeks within the limits of a great city like New York, with its eternal throng and crowded thoroughfares. The cultivated portions of the country between New York and Philadelphia Is now teeming with vegetables and froit grown for the mar kets of these two cities. In some Celds I observed, perhaps, thirty or forty persons employed in gathering pens It is the cul ture of fruits and vegetables that lias so en riched the farmers of New Jersey. If our farmers, or others in or near town, were to pay more attention to this matter they would find it much more profitable thso farming. Vegetation here seems to be considerably in advance of New York. Vegetables and fruit ore, therefere, much cheaper. I saw, to day, In market, pretty fine Jersey straw berries at 12 cents, and some very fine al 25 cents. These were celling in New York as high as one dollur per quart. I observed in the American of last week a notice. of the trite saying of the Ilev. Henry Ward Beecher. When in New York I sel dom omit going over to Brooklyn to hear this eminent divine, who is, beyond all ques tion, the greatest pulpit orator living. It is a great mistake to suppose that Mr. Bcecher's eloquence is owing to fluency of speech or elegance of language. The. re is no studied effort or laboring after effect. He expresses himself in the plainest language, often using the most common place terms or every day life. His great forto is his origi nality, his genius and practical illustrations, his liberal viows and independence of thought and action without regard to forms or cere monies, however old or venerated, if they have nothing else to recommend them. He remarked that some individuals show by their actions and conduct in life that they are truly christians, without knowing or professing to be snch, while some of the meanest men liv ing are those who conform most strictly to the rules of the church. If he were asked whether ho thought church membership, com munion or a profession of religion, as neces sary to salvation, be wonld emphatically say no but be would say these were great helps and it was unfortunate for any one who did not embrace tbem. He would remark to those who set op Knox, Calvin, Kdwards, and others, as standards, Trom which no one was permitted to swerve, that these same men were once, themselves, new school men, urging new measures, end he presumed in less than twenty years after he is dead and buried, Lis tracts and writings will be gath ered and sot np as a standard, from which no one will be permitted to deviate, but this, he said, will not be so while he lives. His de scription of an overcautious and timid man, watching his shadow, lest it might be caught in a bush or turaing a corner, though appro priate, was, nevertheless, most ludicrous. Business here, as well as In New York, is not as brisk as has been expected. The western trado, which is very important, has been greatly depressed. The south, however, has been doing extremely well in the in creased demand for her cotton. The passenger railroads in this city acenpy almost every street, and are a great conveni. ence. As a place of residence Philadelphia is, in many respects, more desirable than New York, but as a business place it is indeed no more than a suburban city compared with its great commercial rival. The contrast when coming from New York to Philadelphia is apparent to all. I have often observed the great difference in the enterprise of the news journals as compared with Philadelphia. In New York you can scarcely see a Philadelphia paper in a hotel, and I have never heard one oQered for sale, while in Pb 1 idclphia you will be sure to find the New York papers in every public place. The Washington correspondent of the Prets is down on Mr. Buchanan for his re- move! of Westcott es Post M after here, and ays Mr. Buchanan is perfectly consistent in this, as be always practised the doctrine of punishing his friends and rewarding bis ene mies.

Tbe rooms were thronged by a large number of influential citizens, who without distinction of party, assombled to botor the returned diplomatist. Mr. Heed was received with much applause and delivered a lengthy account of his pro ceedings in China. He ably defended tbe course of our Uovernment in refusing to unite with France and England in waging war opon Cbiua. Throughout his whole diplomatic career lo thai country he cordially co-opera ted with the Russian Miuister, and although at times be was unable to act in harmoay with the French and English Ministers, yet do positive ill-feeling was engendered. Mr. Heed considers tbe residence of foreign Ministers at Tekio ondesirable, and claims tbit the treaty he formed will be found highly advantageous to American interests. lie spoke in high terms of the beneficial influence exercised by tbe Missionaries, and rejoiced that his treaty contained important provisions for their protection in China.

A TALK OP IIORROn. One of the dread mysteries of Mortnondoro which the United Stales Judges to Utah are endeavoring to unravel, greatly to the coo. sternation of the "Saints," li the horrible mafeacre, at Mountain Meadows, of one hun dred emigrants, on their way from Arkansas to California. At the time we were told that the unfortunate victims fell under the weapons of the Cenosh band of Paravant Indians ; bat various subsequent develop ments have established the conviction that Lthese were merely tools in the hands of the M ormons themselves. A n eye-witness of the transaction has been fonnd al last, and from an official source at Salt Lake, a statement of his account of the affair has been sent to the San Francisco Bulletin, lis says the massacre was designed and carried futo exe cution for mere purpose of plunder, to get possession of the thirty wagons and seven or eight hundred of caltlo belonging lo the emigrants. The witness says : "While I was residing at Cedar City, I was called op or. by Messrs. Isaso Hight, John D. Lee and John Highee all three Mormon military officers to go a few miles ont south of the city, which 1 did. There 1 found 30 or 40 others, selected from different settlements. We were addressed by the abote officers, who toldais that they had sent out Cnnosh, the Paravant Chief, with his warriors, to destroy the Arkansas company, and that if he had not done it we must ; and that n an; or them refused, or betrayed them to the Americans, they would take good care of him hereafter. Here we were all ordered oo the quick march to the Mountain Mea dows, where we found the emigrants, with their wagons formed into two circles, with their families in the midst, trying to defend themselves against the merciless and blood thirsty savages, who lay around in ambush, killing them as opportunity presented. Hight and Lee formed their men into two companies, and made a precipitant rush at the poor defenceless victims. The men inside of the circle rose up, but instantly fell dead or mortally wounded, under the fire of the wretches who so cruelly sooght their lives. Nothine remained to be done, except to kill the fricl tened females and their innocent children clasped in tl.oir arms. Others clnng with desperation to their bleeding, dying husbands, pleading in vain for mercy at the bands of the 'Christians' who controlled the now more savage Indian assailauts. John D. Lee now sent to the Indian chief and his men in nmbnsb to come out and fiuhh the survivors, directing him t0 6pare only the lit tle children wbo could not talk. The sava ces came instantly with knives drawn, and speedily finished ihe bloody work. Tho scene beggars dcccripVioo. The demoniac yells of Ihe savage monsters, mingled with tbe shrieks and prayers ol helpless motliers and daughters, while the death blows were dealing with unflinching hands, end scalps were torn from beads winch bloomed with beauty and innocence but a few honrs before. .Now tbe work ot buteherinn ended. 1 he murderers threw the dead into two heaps, covered them slightly with Jeartb, and left them 'to feed the wolves end birds of prey,' and returned home with their bloody booty of cattle and wagons, and a great quantity of goods, etc. The narrator of the above facts also fur nishes the following statement of crimes within his knowledge. He says : "O. D. Potter, William Parrish and Beet- son Parrish were all murdered on the road to Springville, iu the month of March, 1 857. All that is requisite to bring the murderers to justice, is a thorough investigation by the United States Courts. Henry Forbes came into Springville last, winter, from Calirnrnia and put up with J.

His visit was purely one of business in connection with railroad mat ters, and not of a political nature, as some miserable locofoco party hacks would muke our people believe.

As far as the eye can reach are you delighted witn tbe magnihcence, tbe varied cbanges in view wbicb nature presents, bweel nelds clothed in living green, surround you on every side, tbu waters or tbe old busijueLanna are seen rolling majestically at a distance and even good old hi'NniiRY stands oat in "bold relief". If, indeed, there is any cure for the Huts, a wulK lo ine "institute ' is one 01 tne best. Tbe building is of brick, three stories high witb an uttic ; the arrangement of tbe roof is on the Cottage order, although its large arch led wiudows aud other matters abont it are of the liothic style. Upon the first floor is the Chapel aud rooms for the accommodation of boarders j npon tbe second are the study end recitation rooms and the third is intended ex. clusively for the benefit of ttudents boarding in tbe building. 1 bis splendid edibce will be ready by tbe commencement or tbe next see sion, which will be about the middle of Sep tember uext.
