The Mormon City Of the Salt Lake.

MoaMoS .CI9g, Great SAIL LAKE, July 90, ls49.
lshall neAer forget the first sight of this
valley. Il shal ever remain on my mind
as the most beautiful spectacle ever be-
held. The Great Salt Lake lies toward the
north. TheUtah FAKE lies sixty miles to
the south. The valley is watered by the
Jordon, Webber. and the Bear Rivers, with
several creeks The whole valley is sur
rounded by bysnow-capped mountains, form
ing complete bssin The land is very rich
producing wheat and corn in abundance,
but there is no wood for fifteen miles,.
The whole valley is occupied by the Nor
mans. who build their houses entirely of
sun dried bricks. Their city occupies
more ground than Pittsburgh, but each
man has a large piece of ground around
his dwelling. The bridges are all good,
the streets and roads wide; and the fences
very regular There are about ten thous-
and Mormons here. They say that they
will welcome to their society any good cit
izen, no matter what his religion may be.
Their motto is ''do right"
They are building church of stone,
which is already one story high, and will
be a fine building. They assemble every
Sunday morning under a large shed. The
Society is governed by President, the
twelve and the seventy. The President
and the twelve occupy the pulpit and do all
the preaching. went this morning, when
the bell rang. TO church, where | saw a
large assemblage, some dressed quite FASH
ionabiy, and all clean and neat. A brass
band first played lively tune and then the
clerk rose and read several notices. ..
One man had lost his pocket bool-an
other had had his garden destroyed by cat
tie breaking into it. He then read off the
names OF persons to whom letters in the
post-oihca We're addgsssed. and several
other items of that kind. Hethen announ-
ced that on next Tuesday they would have
an anniversary feast, as it was the dav OF
the month on which they arrived at their
present snug quarters. He stated that the
city would be reused early in the morning
by the firing of canon and tho music of the
brass band. A procession would then be
formed, which would march out of town,
and at o'clock dinner would be served.
Tee emigrants were all invited to attend.
They are very strict in the administra-
ton of iuctce One of their number stole
a pair ofboots from an emigrant. He was
sentenced to pay four times their value,
and fined $50, and was compelled to work
fifty days on public road. One of the
men was sentenced to death for borrowing
