The MORMON MEETING We give in our
columns to-day, a briefreport of the meeting last
evening, called for the purpose ofdevsng some
relief for the furnishing Mormons, now wander
ing in the deserts of Missouri, beyond the line of
Western civilization.
These Mormons have cut great figure during
the last few years; but their present destitute
condition has sprung from their ignorance and
fanatcsm. BY the practice OF common sense,
and common decency, they might have cont n
ued to live in the Western States up to the Gay
of judgment. They were, however, led astray
by vanity and fanaticism. They left their hab
tations, and took up their line Of march through
the wildernesses of Missouri, towards the Rocky
Mountains, under the expectation that the Lord
would rain down mama from heaven, 10 feed
them with, as he did at the request oil Moses, to
feed the children of Israel. But mama is much
scarcer aud dearer the present Gay than it was
in the days OF Moses-of course, they have to
come 80 New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and
other Atlantic cities, to get the means to buy a
little flour and corn meal, or any thing, to help
them along.
We hope they may get mouthful, both Of
food and common sense.

Owing to the accidental breaking Of the wires
al Newark bridge, last evening, we were de.
prived of our usual Geographic dispatches from
the South. The proceedings OF the Senate
comprise the only intelligence we received from
Washington-but that body was engaged in
no business of general interest, prior to its
deliberations, in Executive session, upon the
treaty with Mexico.
The Northern line, however, was in good
working order, and furnished us with the usual
summary Of Legislative proceedings, market re-
ports. &c.

GEN. TAYLOR IN New ENGLAND.-It is thought
by some that Mr.. Webster and his friends, and
the leaders of the wing party in New England,
are preparing a vast movement in favor of
General Taylor in that region. Itmay, however,
turn out to be for General Scott. Mr.. Webster
and his friends may wish to repeat the same pro-
cess which answered so we'll in 1910 with Gene.
raj Harrison. Perhaps they will succeed; perhaps
not. Why don't John Van Buren, take up Gene.
raj TAYLOR?

The magnetic telegraph is destined to become
most important agent in the solution Of mste.
geological questions and the time ia almost at
hand when prognostlcs of the weather, hitherto
so vague and unsatisfactory, will be brought
within the pale Of certainty. Telegraphc re-
porters and others, sending news by telegraph,
cannot be too particular in communicating the
precise moment when any important change in
the weather may take place at their respective
localities. Such message by telegraph as,
" the snow has been falling nearly all day." Is
quite objectionable and unsatisfactory
The last snow storm has been very general
one, extending to the extremes of the various
lines Of telegraph, and no doubt considerably
beyond, reaching west to 81. Louis, and south
TO Petersburg in Virginia. This is subject in
which all classes are interested, especially the
farmer and the traveller; for the latter can be
forewarned by the aid Of the telegraph, Of the
approach Of foul weather, from whatever direc-
ton he is about proceeding to. Through the
observations Of Prof. Espy and other scientific
men, some interesting and singular facts have
been pretty well established and the agency OF
the telegraph will elucidate many more. The
theory of Franklin, that northeast storms COM
mence in the southwest and work up, as it were,
against themselves, is considered certain, and
the telegraph will prove of the highest impor-
taace as a medium OF investigating all these
phenomena.
To the traveller also, il is m after of no small
satisfaction that he can regulate his time OF
starting on a journey so as to ensure himself ia
yorable weather

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING Our new system OF
newspaper advertising works admirably. Every
active, efficient, enterprlslng man of business
likes it, Many newspaper proprIetors thought it
a bold step TO take; but we are persuaded many
of them will follow this step in short time.
Advertising new each day, and cash down, give
a freshness and novelty to our advertising
columns, and make people read them, which is
invoked in vain for the tremendous quantity Of
old stuff put into the great Wall street papers
Our advertising columns are as readable the
columns Of city intelligence, or the editorials,
or even tine news from Mexico or Washington.
We could have filled two or three sheets of our
journal, If we had consented to take adver-
tisements on the old plan, from the great
INGREDIENTS down town. There is scarcely a
house of any Importance in the city which
has not tried TO get advertisements into
the Heraid but they have been respectfully de-
cIlned. me of the shipping merchants offered
US two hundred dollars year, but we declined;
and on one occasion, an advertiser offered US a
thousand dollars a year, payable half yearly in
advance, for certain portion Of our paper, if we
would take it. This was also declined.
| We like our pres mt system too well TO aban-
don it. THIS system is similar to that which
governs the London journals. The advertising
system of Paris is quite different In that city
there are agents who buy so many columns, and
pay much year TO the proprIetors for their
use. These are midde-men, and il appears that
the leading journals farm cut their advertis ng
columns to these men for as much as $50 600, or
500 900 francs year-the midde-me perhape,
making $40 600 or $4,000 by their contract
We hope yet, by this system, to make our adver-

ioined in tho excursion over the Central
Railroad on Saturday. At the mouth of
White River the company was very hand
somely greeted and treated by Mr. CAMPBELL,

the noble Bridges of the Pnssunpsic and
Northern Railroad Companies, at that point
and in passing compliments with our New
Cenlrul Bridge at Royalton was duly inspec-
ted md after very handsome run to North
field, perfect Justice was done to dinner at
The Mortified House, literally provided by
