(ST May Wkatiier. 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. May, 1858, was a dismally
wet and disagreeable month ;-and May, 1859,
has been ruther above the average of its im
mediate predecessors, notwithstanding Ihe
harsh things which have been said about it.
Death ok a Valird Citizkn. Mr. Wil

his immediate relatives and friends, but to
the community at large.
$JT" The farmers of this section of country
must be gratified at the prospect before
tbem. 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.
Several able-bodied foreigners, of recent im
portation, have been in this place and are now
traveling through the country soliciting alms
and who exhibit "papers" purchased in New
York, setting forth that they hae been ship
wrecked, or lost all their properly by water
or fire. Money given to these lazy mercena
ries is unworthily bestowed, and they should
be tamed away unalmed from every door they
approach.

miTORIAL CORRESPORDF.KCE.
l'ltiLAPF.i.ruiA, May 81, 1859.
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-

HkiKPT'.ON of Hon. AVm. 11. Kkkd. -
The reception of AVm. O. Heed, our late
Minister to China, came off last Tuesday
eveniug, in Philadelphia, in tbe rooms of the
Hoard of Trade. 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. Terry, one of onr bishop's
policemen. A Bhort time after be was mis-
sing, and bus never returned. Itis horse,
saddle aud revolver wero sold by Terry, aud
put to bis own use.
