The -MOrnlOns.

We learn from the Nauvoo Eagle that all the
Mormon publications have been discontinued,
The archives and trappngs Of the church have
been removed, and are now on The way to Cali
fornia. The church (says the Eaglej has
ceased 10 exist, the Twelve" have gone and
with them The acting spirit of Mormonism.
Camp Of Israel is the name which the advance
company of Mormons have assumed. The la
test accounts from them slate that they had
crossed The head waters of the Charlton.
They were travelling very slow, and their
stock was much reduced for want of food.
The trustees of the temple offer 10 lease il TO
any religious society or literary institution. A
wealthy gentleman from the South, bachelor,
far advanced in life, has gone TO Nauvoo, to
purchase The temple, if II can be bought for a
reasonable price, and convert il into an Asylum
for destitute widows and females, and 10 pur-
chase lands and Town lots, and endow il out oil
The ulls OF them.

The Potatoe Disease.

The accounts of Irish distress in the papers
are heart rending. The Evening Post gives
The following extract Of letter from the Rev.
w. r. Townsend, rector of Aghadda, diocese
of Ciyon. The communication is addressed TO
medical friend in N. Y. City:--"In this part
of Ireland we are in frigh.ful state, the hum
bier classes all living on The contaminated po-
talo. The sides Of fields and gardens are liter
allg covered with rotten ones, thrown away.
The detail of destruction is endless That en-
ploymenl should be wanted for The people. while
one.thrd Of Ireland is as much waste as the
woods in Canada. and ihe rest badly cultivated,
not afloIdlng half labor, is strange anomaly

with a barbarian power, whose customs require
on such occasions the use of presents; but this
object might be altogether defeated by the IN
irigues of other powers, if our purposes were
10 be made known by the exhibition OF the orl-
ginal papers and vouchers to the accounting
officers of the Treasury. 1t would be easy 10
specify other cases which may occur in the
history of great nation, in its intercourse
with other nations, wherein it might become
absolutely necessary to incur expenditures for
objects which could never be accomplished, if
il were suspected, in advance, that the items
of expenditure, and the agencies employed,
would be made public.
Aclualed, undoubtedly, by considerations of
this kind, Congress provided such fund, coe-
val with the organization of the Government,
and subsequently, enacted the law of 1910, as
the permanent law of the land. While this
law exists in full force feel bound, by high
sense of public policy and duty, TO observe lis
provisions, and the uniform practice of my pre-
decessors under ii. With great respec, for the
House of Representatives, and an anxious de-
sire 10 conform 10 their wishes, | am con-
strained to come TO this conclusion.
If Congress dsapprove the policy OF the
law, they may repeal its provisions.
In reply 10 that portion of the Resolution Of
the House which calls for ''copies of whatever
communications were made from the Secreia-
~ of Stale during the last session Of the 9th
Congress, particularly February, ls43, 10 Mr..
