INTELLIGENCE PROM THE CRY OF Gop.--We have
received some authentic and late Intelligence from
the " City of God"-alias " the city of Nauvoo''-
alias the " State of the faithfu'aas the centre of
the Mormon empire, now creating by Joe Smith, on
the beautiful banks Of the Missouri
The annexed letter will speak for itself. 1t ap-
pears that the new faith is highly prosperous, and
that the Later-dny Saints" are doing flourshing
business in religion, morals, agriculture, mechanics,
population, civilization, and all the other "ations."
The Mormons have practical sense in all worldly
affairs Thisis the reason that they succeed better
than many of the recent sects in religion and pho-
sophy. Joe Smith digs his own potatocs-large fell
lowscn in hill ,and;two small ones for seed Here
is the great secret. When the Fourierites and all
the squash philosophers can do the same then they
may be permitted to rank among the master-sprits of
the age.

JAMES G. BENNETT, ESQ.,
II is some time since you have heard from your
correspondent in Zion. have refrained from wr-
of your new establishment, which am assured by
friend from New York will exceed, in point Of
material and organization, anything OF the kind on
this continent or perhaps in the world. The energy
talent, and enterprise of the BENEFITS arc now be-
coming common subject of remark In thisqnarer,
and the Herald, IA your subscription list shows, is

chartered by act of the Legislature of the State
of Illinois, and placed on the most liberal footing

has Chancellor viz. Malor-Cieneral John G.. Ben
nett, who is also Mayor of the city. He liz gentle
man of high military talent and profound eruditon.
There are, if am not mistaken, twenty-four re-
gents, and most Of the chairs are filled with pro-
fessors of the first talent in the country This, you
will perceive going ahead on your own principles.
Three years ago our city contained but about
three hundred person.-it now numbers upwards
of seven thousand and in lees than five years will
have population Of twenty thousand souls.
The land in the vicinity is an extremely rich UNI
duatng prairie, calculated to make the finest farms
in the world the climate is healthy, and the situa
ton very paradise
Our legion is composed of about fifteen hundred
of as good soldiers the State the United States
can call into the field, and Differed with men who
know their duty, and who will, in defence of their
country, and their fresides, fight to the hil;; while
at the same time, whole society, in their civil
moral and religious department, under the auspices
of Joseph, the great Prophet OF the . Latter Day
Saints" are ainiabe, as kind, charitable Tin
Guiding the adies), as the Christian religion is cal
