THE MoRMoNs THE Mormons are the most
remarkable people in the world. Under their
prophet, Strang, they make Beaver islands, in
Lake Michigan, blossom like the rose. They
number about six hundred, and each man holds
from forty to one hundred and sixty acres of land
as an everlasting inheritance. Beaver islands
have the best island fishery in the Union. and the
best natural harbor on the lakes. They have two
sail vessels of their own, and are building wharf
for passing steamers to stop at. Garden island
six miles square, is one Of the richest and most
beautiful islands on the face Of the earth. The
Big Beaver is six by fourteen miles in extent
Several'beautful, we-timbered islands, surround

LATE FROM HAYTI.-C Commencement of Hos
hlHies-Jeremie, QIayti0 Oct. 18th, ls5o.-In-
telligence from Port au Prince has been received,
stating that hostilities have actually commenced
between the Haytiens and Dominicans On the
9th instant, as the vanguard of Solougue's army
was descending the Pass of Bonica, they were
attacked by about 500 Dominican troops who
drove back the Haytiens with terrible slaughter.
Already Haytien brig of war, with 200 men on
board has been captured off Scots Bay by two
Dominican schooners of war, or gun boats, and

FREE NEGROES IN VIRGiNIA.-The Fredericks-

of the census of 1880 with that of 1910, exhibiting
the number of the white population, free negroes,
and slaves in the eastern and western districts Of
the State, and showing that during those ten years.
the white population of Eastern Virginia has de-
creased nineteen in every thousand and the slaves
fifty in every thousand, while the free negroes
have increased in the period seventy in every
thousand. In Western Virginia, the white popu-
lation exhibits an increase Of one hundred and six
ty-seven in every thousand slaves but FIVE in a
thousand, and free negroes one hundred and nine
ty-one in every thousand.

We thus find that from 1880 to 1910, the white

creased, ard the free negroes increased, while in
the western district the increase of free negroes
in a much greater ratio than the whites or slaves
and we should not be surprised if the census of
1850 exhibited much the same result, though we
anticipate much larger accession to the white
population of the western district during the last
ten years, than that of from 1880 to 1910, prob
ably double.

TROUBLE IN THE MORMON CAMP.-According
to q correspondent of the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
a serious difficulty has occurred among the Lat

in Lake Michigan. Elder Adams, who is Nor
mon preacher and tragedian by turns, had to flee
for his life, In consequence Of having provoked
the wrath of James E. Strang, one of tho Pro-
phets, who, it seems, sets up his will as the sup
rene law. Strang is charged with robbing the
gentiles, as he calls all who do not acknowledge
his law, OF provisions and such other goods and
chattels rs the Saints require. Adams promises
to expose the wicked practices of Strang and his
followers. 'r.,. s.r 's |a,. ,.sm"N- U.s.. as.#

CAPTAIN TAGGARr FLIEs.--On Wednesday
afternoon the captain made successful ascent
from Jersey City with his flying machine. The
wind was south, but Capt Il. came cast by use
of his revolving propellers. He rose about half
mile into the air and then followed the steam
boat Commodore down the sound, beating her
as Eclipse used to beat other horses. He prob
ably landed on Long Island. ''<.3 .'.e.s' r. a.

some mismanagement after the main rope was

broke, and the balloon being obstructed by a

he oontrived to get 1t upon tie bridge which
crosses the pond, and it was no sooner there
than the other cord broke, and the balloon, with
all the flying apparatus, shot off into the air,
