He says that soldiers who IF ere enlisted abput ihe dose of the Mexican War, and who were at Fort Mifflin, when peace.' was proclaimed, received 160 acres, or one huLdred dollars in scrip., Sortie ofthese recruits were not in service more.tha:n a month, and yet got the 160 acres of land. He therefore, and justly, that the grant of 40 acres, (at' the Government estimate of 25 dollars,) for three month's service, is entirely too small to be given by the Gov ernmeknt to either a soldier, or a soldier's widow, ,and.

Great Salt Jake City. 4 ,This;citi; the present abiding, place OP the Mormans, who emigrated from COurieil Bluffs, lowpy in 1811, to Cali. forma, is laid out in blocks of ten acres _ , each, eight lots to the block, an acre and a quarter in 'each' •lot';' thestreets. eight rods wide ; the sidewalks twenty feet wide, and to be beautifully shaded ; tire' blocks to be surrounded 63, a purling brook, issuing from the mountains; ev ery house to be built twenty feet from the front fence. No two - houses front each tither; standing in his own doter, every man rimy not look into his neigh bor's gardeh. They have four public squares whiCh are hereafter to be adorn ed with trees from the four quarters of the globe, and supplied with fountains of 'water. On the temple square they intend to have a garden that will cost at least $1 oo;boo at 'the 'cornmencerneiit.' Their missionaries hive already made arrangements in the Eastern States, in Great Britain, France, Daly, Denmark, the aermanic States, and in the Islands of the sea, to gather the choicest seeds and fruits, and everything that can beau tify and adorn the garden. , At first the city was laid offto contain one hundred and thirty-five blocks. Since then an addition-of sixty-five blocks has been made on the West. They have laid off one mile square on the East of the city for a University. It wilt not - he three years until next October since the first house was built in this city ; and it now numbers at least. nine thousand. They . already have convenient iiiises built of dolles—dried brick—and most of the luxuries of life. They expect an emi gration of at least ten thousand' of their people this year. The only. method oj i cultivation is by, iirigation, from ‘vhat . they call gi City 'Oreek." - Just as this creek opens in the valley from the snow capped mountains, it divides into two main branches, which afterward suly divide. Thi - s water, from the mountains to the temple block, has an average fall of nine inches in a rod, for a distance of more than ten miles, with a greater tall the farther You advance into the moun-,1 tains. At one mile and a.third from the city is a warm sulphur spring : which possesses grea t cleansing and ‘rifying properties . and which, it is affirmed,, cures most diseases of that climate.--i About a mile and a half farther is a hot( sulphur spring. On the South side of the'valley is a hot spring of pure water. The water of this spring is twenty-one feet and three inches deep. It is certainly a remarkable fact, which we find stated in the Illinois State Register, that the Hon. Vim. H. Bissell, now representing the first Congressional district of Illinois, being a candidate' in the same district at the election lately held for Representatives to the next Con gress, was \ elected without opposition, retzitnns; every vote, to the number of twelve thousand nine hund. ed and forty. one.

The N. O. Courier says it.has broken out with great fatality in Gainesville; on the Pear! !river; the first time it ever appeared in 'the pine woods. It is also reported that the cholera exists to sorne extent in the (Franklin Pariih, Louisiana. The Plan lters (La.)

At Sa tern, A labaina, two persons have d ied :of ( Cholera recently ; and near Suimmer field, in the same state, a Mr. Gla is, Mrs. King and one of her slaves, have been attacked with the same malada. Printers' Language. Every professional trade has its tea nichal terms, and the printers have a smae - smattering," which - is intelligible only to the craft. The following is a specimen—it don't mean as mueh as it would seem' , to the uninitiated : "Jim, put Gen. Washington on the galley, and finish the murder of that girl you coin mended yesterday. Set up the ruins of Herculaneum ; distribute the small pox; you neednlt finish that runaway match ; have the high waters in the paper this week : let the pi alone till after dinner'; put the barbacue to press, and then go to the devil and he will tell you about the work for the morning."

The country 'being new and sparsely populated, the family were obliged to endure the pri vations and hardships incident to the settlement of'a new country' His fath er came here prior to the War of the Revolution,ln the year 1774, and his family teas in the loft at Pittston at the time of the Indian arid Tory massacre at Wyoming. Being on a scout up the . Susquehanna at that time he was rot In the battle. His life at one time 'was it; imminent danger, but escaped by re ceiving a gun shot charge 'against an old fashioned Tobacco-bor, which he carried in his vest pocket,-and which has two indentations half of the bigness of the, ball, one in the middle of the' box, and one on the edge. The ball glanced off and grazed his side. This Tobacco-box is pow in the possession of his daughter Mrs. Sarah. Whitmore, a resident of this borough. On receiving the charge of his tort' enemy, which staggered him almost to the ground, his companion in arms, Col. John Jenkins, raised his gun and fired, and his assail ant fell mortally wounded..

The day after the h dian battle the Indians entered the Fort where the companion of his bosom re mained in supposed 'security, and de manded something to eat, at the same time bran lishing their scalping knives, red with the blood of her friends, and exhibiting to their view numerous scalps reeking with the blood of her friends. She had just baked a loaf of bread,.and the scent of it directed them to the place where it was concealed. She saw therri making their way to it, and she and an Indian laid hold of it 'at the same time, telling him-as she did so, that it was all she had for her-children, and 'he should not have it. In the scuffle to withhold the treasure, the Indian drew his scalping knife and severed it in the middle, leav ing her the one half for her famished children. I
