THE MoRMoNs. The latest intelligence fom
Missouri respecting the Mormons is that peace has
been restored between them and The citizens Of
the adjoining countless and the military force called
out to suppress them has been disbanded. The
st. Louis Republican says the Enormous have
been slandered-"more sinned against than sin.
ning'-and that their neighbors equally cen.
surable with them for the trouble already expert
enced. They desire to keep the Mormons off somo
fine lands in Carroll, Davies and The counties ad.
joining Caldwell. Probably each party is jealous
of the increase ofthe other, and that this is the true
secret of the disturbances. The war thus far it is
estimated will cost Missouri at least fifty or sixty
thousand dollars.

PENNSYLVANIA. Returns from all except three
Counties. Porter the Tory candidate for Govern
err is elected by at least 5 or 5000 majority. Yet
it is believed The Wings have or 3 majority in
the House and in the Senate, which will give us
a Wing U. S. Senator. So much is good for
the Wings. The delegation in Congress will stand
the same before excepting there is some prospect
of one gain to the Wings. Pennsylv ania has done
pretty well for the Wings but we should have pre-
ferrcd 20 have the victory entire than TO divide
it, as now must, with our opponents.

in the choice of mayor, they carried their ticket by
467 majority.
The general result of the elections in four or FIVE
Of the States is about equally favorable each par
ty-the Wings have gained members of Congress
while the Vanites have gained Governors. So the
Wings for while must be contented without
gaining every State, and expect loose
well as to gain. The splendid achievements of
our party during the last two years have led US to
look for too much and for too easy victories. All
who suppose the Administration is to be easily con-
quered in one or three years egregious'y mis-
taken. The people cannot conquer the Treasury

and Great Britain to boot, without tremendous

BY J. G. WHITTIER

BY J. @. WHITTIER
Wonderful yet familiar, fadeless gem
Set by the hand Of angels, in the arch
Ofthe eternal heaven! how beautiful
Thy soft light-restelh on the unquiet sea,
That gathereth into waves as IL the winds
OF yesterday were prisoned in its depths,
And struggling to be free.
The hazy clouds,
Pale relics Of the recent storm, have drawn
Their thin, grey shadows out upon the sky,
And curtained il in beauty Thou alone
Look'st out upon the darkness The great wave
That cometh up unto the guarded shore
With its eternal thunder, hath received
Thy solitary beam, yet pauseth not
In its mad turbulence. So have seen ~ ~.
The light Of woman's love poured out upon
The darkness of mans soul, yet hushing not
The tempest of his passions, blessed beam
Crossing The troubled surgeS Of the mind
Like moonlight glimpses on a sky of storm.
Sole watcher Of the heavens have not learned
Chaldea's mystic faith, yet thou dost seem
The emblem of a solitary heart,
CompanionlesS like mine. No kindred star
Hath gladness in thy presence, and thy light
Falleth upon the waters, like the love
OF young heart upon the hollow world,
Unanswered, unregarded.

From he MoLae Chronicle.

The gradual, but never ceasing depoSite and ac-
foundations of earth and sand at and near the
mouths of all of our Southern rivers of any SIZE af
tords ample reason for inquirng into the effects
these natural changes may have on the commerce
and intercourse Of our cities.
There can be little doubt but that immense bodies
ofearh annually cast into the Gulf of Mexico by
the many rivers which make 1t reservoir; and it is
more than probable that the present century will not
end without Witnessing great changes in the sound
ingS Of every considerable stream connected with
the Gulf To support what we here assert Of these
Filings mp one fact perhaps will be sufficient. Some
nine or ten years ago, Mr.. Harvey Elkins, who then
kept hotel at the mouth OF The bayou, St John five
miles north OF New Orleans, was induced TO try the
experiment of boring for pure water which, if sue
ceSsiul, would have relieved him from the necessity
Of bringing water from the Mississippi. Iron cyl
inderS were purchased and machinery erected, at
much expense. The boring was carried to the depth
of 205 feet, and showed alternate depoSie Of sand
and clay withoutthe smallest piece Of rock and Of
course good water was not to be had A piece of the
horn Of deer was found lS5 feet below the sur
face. ."..
In making known our convictions that no effort
Of arr can or will succeed in resisting the decree
which nature has issued for filling up the estuaries
at the mouths Of our large rivers, we must not be
