HE hiOEiONS AND MFRS. SMITH. Inc WI
dow OF the Mormon prophet, in Il letter TO til,
New York Sun, denies that she is going to Ca
liiornia, or any other place with the Mormoms
She says she is very well satisfied with the T.
States and means to remain at Nauvoo to take
care OF her property, and If she cannot educate
her children there she will send them 10 New
York. She is favorable to having IA mixed SO.
ciety at NauVoo, and TO the abolition of all ex.
elusive religious distinctions. She AIDES:
81 must now say, that never for a moment
believed in what my husband called his appari-
tons and revelations, as thought him la6oring
under a diseased mind; yet, they may all be
true, as prophet is seldom without credencc
or honor, excepting in his own family or coun-
Try; but as my conviction is to the contrary, |
shall educate my children in different faith,
and teach them 10 obey and reverence the laws
and institutions of their country.
81 am left here, sir, with family of child
ren to attend to, without any mcaos of giving
them an education, for there is not school in
the city, nor is it intended there shall be any
here, or at any other place, where the men
who now govern this infatuated, smple-mnd-
objection that these petty tyEants remove to
California, or any other remote place, out of
the world if they wish, for they will never be
Of any service to the Mormons, or to the human
family wherever they 70. Their object is to
keep the people over whom they lulD in the
greatest ignorance, and most abiect religious
bondage, and if these poor, coniiling creatures
remove with them they will die in the wider
ness"
DANGEROUS INVENTION. If the account vi
ven in letter from the Paris correspondents of
the New York Herald, Of now invention IN
Prussia, be correct, there will be little safety in
the receipt Of bank notes, notes of hand, &c.,
should the Invention be made public. The
letter says:
Gin former letter, mentioned the improve
ment iii art, which has been effected, by trans
icrring cngravlngs: etc, to plates Of zinc, and
which is called giyptography. A still more
wonderful effect, resembling this, has lately
beer produced in Prussia, the process OF which,
however, is still secret. The attention Of the
King of Prussia, and his ministers and coun-
oilers has lately been called to it. An inhabi-
tant of Berlin is represented as having dlscov-
cred method Of producing, in the most per-
feet, easy and rapid manner, exact facsimllies
of documents and writings Of every kind, bank
notes. and, in short, of every paper document
whether written or printed. The most surpris
ing part of the thing is, that the inventor re-
quiros, to execute the copy, no more time than
an ordinary printer would take to make an i'm
preston Will couimun press
One ofthc public iunCtionarles ofthe govern
ment gave the inventor an old document to
copy, which seemed, from its age and worn
condition, incapable Of being initiated. The
artist took it to his ateiier and in fow min
utes returned with fifty copies of it, The mi-
tation was so perfect, that it filled the monarch
and his council with establishment, amounting
to stupefacton and even fright! At the foot
Of this document were affixed great number
of signatures, which it had received at various
epochs, more or less remote, all very old, and
written in different inks. The copies gave all
these, with the most exact precision.
Several Treasury notes of the highest value
were then given to the inventor, to be copied
He took them, as before, and returned after
some minutes, having mixed the originals with
the copies, and invited the most competent
Judges Of such documents to select the originals
from the collection. 1t was impossible to do
it,! The government are negotiating with the
inventor for the purchase Of his secret"
