INTERESTING DolNos AT STATEN IsLANp-A great
deal OF interest has been centering at Staten Island
during this week, arising from various CAUSES
the trial Of Polly Bodine, at Richmond, on one
side OF the Island, and the Ladies' Fair, of st.
Johns Church, on the other We understand that
vast accessions to the number OF visitors have taken
place during the last few beautiful days. and they
will, probably. continue to increase for some time
to come.
The beauty of Staten Island is unequaed at this
period OF the year. The refreshing sea-breezes--
the elevated grounds-the fine drives-the scenery
on all hands, render it one of the most delightful
summer residences in the Union. There are some
OF the most picturesque buildings imaginable on the
island, both of the old and modern style. On the
west side OF the island are the domicils of some Of
the desce ndanls OF the Oldest settlers this CONT
nent, venerable structures, and yet, in all their
rude clunisness and uncoulhDess, interesting in
the extreme; and their inhabitants still retaining all
their primitive habits, manners and ignorance. On
the east side you meet with some of the most mo-
dern specimens of wisdom, aiiectaton, religion,
conceit, beauty, hypocrisy and humbug
Altogether, Staten Island comprehends speci.
mems OF all the curiosties in society, religion,
fashion and elegance on this continent.
HIGHLY INTERESTING FROM THE MORMON EMPIRE.
We give in our columns to-day some intelligence
from Nauvoo, the city of the Mormons, of most
curious and interesting character, and dOubly so at
this moment, when every thing indicates the out
break of some insurection and bloody work with
in the precincts of the holy empire.
The rise, progress and present condition OF the
Mormons make up enigma in society on this
continent. From an obscure position in the wes-
tern part of New York, from which they were
hunted from place to place, they have grown into a
community of some fifteen thousand persons, III
the city of Nauvoo, of the most beautiful rest
dences in the south, and presenting points of nte-
rest that must attract the notice of every philoso
Pher. -
The intelligence we give to day is highly inter-
esling Whatever may be the truth OF the charges
preferred against Joe and his associates, of which
we have yet satisfactory proof it is GER
tain that Joe establishes the fact that his opponents
are any thing but moral and virtuous men. The
most revolving outrage of which we have heard
was the destruction of the press and printing Of
flee. We expect to hear some very serious news
from Nauvoo in day or two. The Mormons are
well armed, and we should not be surprised to hear
of a very bloody encounter

The loveliness of the ladies and the fragrance of
the flowers, make this place Paradise. Miss lay

than it seemed to have had some lime ago.

evenings. The gardens are as cool as a saints
temper, and there are pretty little angels IN
the Saloon.
