the package step by step, until she finally recovered it,
except 405 dole, at Jenkintown, in this State, about one year
after it bad been stolen. At the time of the passage of Mr.
Lincoln and suite from Harrisburg to Washington to be in-
augurated, the air was crowded with rumours of assassina-
tion, and well-organised plots had been laid in Baltimore,
the details of which no one sufficiently knew to propose •
plan of circumvention. Suddenly an "unknown lady"
appeared and arranged the time of departure, the pro-
curation of sleeping-car berth, and such other precautionary
steps as to her intimate knowledge of the plot and ready
pidgment suggested. This ••tniknown lady" was Mrs.
Warn.
At the breaking out of the rebellion, Mr. Pinkerton having
been assigned to duty as the head of the secret service of
the army of the United States, Mrs. Warn took charge of
the female department In Washington, and continued at the
head of it until 1503, when Mr. Pinkerton retire.' from ser-
vice for a short time. Whilst in Washington her experience
was varied and startling, she has nix to combat with the
whole army of female spies ami secret agents of the rebels.
Always cool, calm, and collected, she managed her part
admirably, and her services were of Infinite vat ,e to the
Government. Under Mr. Pinkerton she, in 14,5, resumed
charge of the female department of the secret service at
New Orleans, where her natural ability and former experience
served to add to her career of usefulness. She undouldeoly
ranked as the best female detective in the United States, if
not in the world

Very few of our readers are aware (says the Lister.
pool Journal) that there have left the port of Liverpool,
during the month of June, three sailing vessels con-
veying 2,053 Latter Day Saints to New York, en routs
for Utah—the Zion of Mormonism. Such, however,
ie the fact. On the 4th ultimo, the John Briy/st
having on board 722 "saints," of whom 176 were from
Scandinavia, and the remainder natives of England,
Scotland, and Wales The Emerald Isle followed on
the 20th ultimo with 874 Mormons, of whom 625 wore
Germans, and 249 natives of the British Isles; and on
Wednesday, the packet ship Coostititution left the
port, carrying 457 "saints" towards the ardently
longed-for " home." The majority of these emigrants
were English and Scotch, only forty or fifty hailing
from G,t many. In charge of each batch of emigrants
was a president, having under him several elders as
assistants, to whose hands the general arrangements
for the comfort and safe conduct of the " saints " to
the 'promised land" were entrusted. By an ad-
herence to rules and regulations laid doen by this
governing body, a voyage, which to ordinary emigrants
is generally unpleasant, is reniered tolerably agreeable
to the "saints." On their arrival in New York. the
saints are taken in charge by Mr. Hiram IL Clawson,
the Mormon forwarding agent at that port, who sees
them commence in safety their journey of 2,000 miles
westward by raiL Al ihe terminus of this long drive,
hundreds of wagons, each wagon drawn by four yoke
of oxen, are in waiting to take the " saints " through
to their mountain borne; but in a short dui° the
tediousness of the whole journey will be considerably
abridged.
The "great railroad of the west" is expected
to be finished as far as North Fork (350 miles
from Salt Lake City) by the 4th of July ; so that the
journey to Utah will he made much more easy of
accomplishment than heretofore, and the territorY
over which Brigham Young holds so great a sway will
he in direct communication with the rest of the world.
The whole of Mormondom is looking forward to the
completion of the railroad with the greatest in-
terest.
The "saints" say that, contrary to generally re-
ceived opinion, they have no desire to exclude
themselves from the rest of mankind, as "they
have nothing to hide from the world." Most of
the emigrants whose departure we chronicle have been
sent for by friends already located in Utah.

melded with all the Christian graces. Charity was a marked
feature, and whether in aiding the hunted contraband, or
catering to the sick or wounded in the prison-house, she
always left the sufferer indebted to her for a kind word or
act. Quick to perceive and prompt to do, she proved that
females are useful in the sphere to winch the wants of
society have long been loth to assign them. As she lived so
she died, a strong, pure, and devoted woman. tier remains
