U-The city of the Great Salt Lake is situa-
ted ii lat. 40 40, long. Ill rs 81; altitude 1900
feet. 1t Is twenty miles from the Great Salt
Lake, and thirty-ive from the Utah. It is divid-
ed into nineteen wards, each ward into nineteen
blocks, each block into eight lots, containing
one and a quarter acres each. The streets are
one hundred and twenty feet wide, running to
the cardinal points Of the compass, one On leach
ward line and two each way crossing each ward.
1t contains about 5 thousand inhabitants-the
whole valley about six thousand. There is a
bishop and a marshal to each ward, the bishop
acting as Justice of the peace. A canal five miles
in length, conveys the water of Canon creek to
the city, and smaller channels distribute to ev-
cry lot its portion.

CovRRsoR,s MEssAGE.-We have received
this public document and will lay it before our
readers in our next. His most important re-
commentator perhaps, is the acceptance Of the
Grant embraced in Harmanson's Swamp Bill.
He uses strong and emphatic language with re-
gard to the question of slavery; he says, in
speaking Of sthe aggressions Of anti-slavery,"
and the necessity to "prepare for the worst"
that ait is far better to be lawless than to live
under lawless rule" However we may feel
ourselves wronged on the subject of slavery,
this language of Gov. Johnson is unbecoming
any man who has been elevated to the chief
mlagistracy-it is the language Of the freebooter
and the traitor-and aims at a principle which
subyerts order, undermines all moral obilga-
tons, and overthrows all systems Of Govern
ment. We should stand up for our Southern
rights, and oppose the encroachment OF anti
slavery fanatics by all means but those which
come in contact with the constitution and the
laws Of thu, United States. Has it come to this,
that a Governor of Louisiana advises the peo-
ple to be aaawlessq"-where would the princi-
ciple end if such a precedent was once estab-
lished? Ultimately in our W annihilation.-.
And this is Democratic doctrine! s4=

Coon SuGGEsT1oN.-A successful merchant
who commenced with a clerkship. at a low sala-
ry, remarked, in speaking of a young man who
intended to pursue the mercantile life, as fol
lows.
1t is a trade to be learned, and in order to
secure success, and especially with young man
without capital, he should enter as a clerk in
some good house, without regard in the start
to the arount of salary; devote his undivided
attention to acquiring a thorough ,paactical
knowledge Of the business in all its branches;
make himself indispensable to the concern;
stick to one place; and in time it cannot hardly
be otherwise than that he will become a princi~
cipal-some change will most certainly occcrto
effect it. lii =rrrg -s

long Ito a progressive party. Now, the progress
al advocated was not an universal one. Ii did
not extend to the improvement of our rivers
and our harbors. He was afraid the progress
advocated by the Senator consisted in waging
foreign conquests, and in territorial aggrandlze-
ment, He hoped it would be long before the
country would engage deeply in such progress,
particularly at the expense of peace. The Sen
ator says this is a great country. 1t is. But
we should exercise the powers of greatness with
which Providence has blessed Us, win a just
regard to the rights Of others-maintaining our
own rights firmly, and invading the lights OF
none. If the progress which the Senator advo-
Gates be foreign wars, foreign conquests and
territorial aggrandizemenrs, he thanked God
that he belonged to the staDd-still school.
He hGDed that before the Senate would adopt
a resolution tending to depart from the policy
so long pursued By our country from It's foun~
dalton. to the present day, from the time OF
Washington to the last of his successors. they
would pause and consider well the Importance

In more full report Of the speech in the Ma

GLIDING remarks
"Mr. President, | have risen late in the even
ing, really intending to say much less than |
have said, and | must conclude by expressing
the hope that the Senate of the United States,
when they come to deliberate seriously upon the
consequence of the adoption of such a resolu-
hon as this, will pause: that they will not open
a new field of collisiol, term mating perhaps in
war, and exposing ourselves to the reaction O.
foreign Powers, who, when they sec Us assum-
ing to Judge OF their conduct, will undertake in
their turn to judge of our conduct. We ought
to ~recollect that, with the sole exception of
France, whose condition is yet somewhat OBJ
scured in doubt and uncertainty as to the fate
of 3 Republic which she has established we
stand solitary and alone amidst all the Powers
of the earth, an example of free Government,
and that we should not venture to give to other
nations even a pretent. much less cause, to Sc
parate themselves from us, by undertakings
Judge Of their conduct, and applying to them a
rule according to which We may denationalize
nation after nation, according as their conduct
may be found to correspond with our notions
and Judgment of what is right and proper in the
administration of human affairs. Sir, it does
not become us to take such ~perilous and unne-
cessarv grounds, and | trust that we shall not
adopt such acourse. | see no necessity for re-
ferring this resolution to a committee. think
it would be unwise to adopt it, and | trust the
Senate will at once negative the resolution: or,
if it should be referred, confding in the sound
judgement of the Committee ON Foreign Affairs
in anticipation, ! feei perfectly sure Of the rejec-
ton Of the resolution by the committee"

Mrs. MILLER.-A Washington correspon-
dent of the New York Herald, IN a recent let
ter, states Mr.. Norvell, of Michigan, has visited
Washington for the purpose of obtaining some
information respecting his daughter, Mrs. Nil
Ter, whose singular and mysterious movements
have attracted so much attention. The writer
adds:
We suspect that Mr.. Norvell is on the right
traok, for information. AgentleHfaaf from Win
chester, Va, says that Mrs. Miller for a year
past has been residing at that place, Ger nus
band being absent in the army in Florida.) Dur
ing this time she received particular attentions
from a young man named Baker, Of a highly
respectable family. He left Winchester about
the same time that Mrs. Miller left; and shortly
afterthe publication of the affair at Niagara, he
returned 10 Winchester, sold off his property,
for what it would bring for cash, and again dis
appeared. 1t lis supposed that he has since 10 in
ed Mrs. Miller at Boston, and that they have
gone to Europe for the safety enjoyment of their
unlawful union.
Mrs. Miller is said to he a most accomplished
and claiming person. She became d popular
favorite in Winchester, and credit with the
merchants of the town to almost any extent.
The young man Baker, with whom she is sup
posed to have made an escape is said to be not
over twenty.one years of age, and his descrip-
ton anwerst to that of the Mr.. Blackemer who
was seen with Mrs. Miller at Buffalo. They
will probably yet be detected in tbs country o.
in Europe. & .rs sz.

FRANcE.-In speaking of France and the po-
litical paradoxes that country is ever presenting,
the London Times says.
The course of events in France has not IN
aptly been described as an enigma in act on. It
is as full of contradictions as an elaborate jest,
and as inconsistent and perplexing as a Chinese
puzzle. Whatever was to be, is not; whatever
is, cannot be long. It began with a republic
without republicans; aud it has already grown
into a monarchy without a monarch.

Prospects Of ~Plaquemine.

7 We have frequently alluded to the signs of
prosperity of our town. Each month gives
further evidences of the rapidity with which it
is growing into wealth and importance, and
the swift race we are running to become the
second city in Louisiana. All we wish is a con-
tinuance Of that enterprise and public spirit
which seem now to characterize all classes, to
hasten on the growth and distinction Of Pla~
quemine, towards which nature has done all
that We could have desired. In the building up
Of towns in this country, we are all aware that
the improvements Of one year are calculated to
give twice the impetus to business the year fol-
lowing. If Plaquenine proves the correctness
Of this theory, she will have reached IN three
years from the time Of our coming here, an in
creased wealth that will place her beyond what
Baton Rouge can possibly attain BY that time,
(1s52). This would seem impossible, but let
Us wait 4 couple . years, before we deride the
