MANNERS AND Customs OF Mormon
PREACHERs.-The Boston Herald, in an
nouncing the death of Elder G. Adams, a
Mormon Preacher, says:
On his second visit to Boston, the FL
der preached, baptiSed converts, whipped
a newspaper editor, and played star en-
gagement at the National Theatre. He
was industrious and filled up all his time
We have fund OF anecdotes concerning
this strange mortal, which we shall be
glad to print at some other time. We
close this article by briefly advertins to
the chastisement he gave an editor for
strongly critisins his performance of Rich
ard III. The office Of the editor was in
Washington street, where Propeller now
keeps. Adams armed himself with a
cowhide and watched for his victim.
Soon the unsuspecting fellow came
down stairs, and Adams sprang upon him
exclaiming, The Lord delivered thee
into my hands and | shall give thee forty
stripes save one, Scripture MEASURE
Brother Graham keep tally" So saving,
he proceeded to lay on the punishment
with hearty good will. In the mean
time, large crowd had gathered around
the avenging priest and the delinquent.
When the tally was up, Adams left the
man and addressed the crowd as follows /:
Men and brethren, my name is Elder
George G. Adams, preacher of the ever
lasting gospel. L have chastised my
enemy. | go this afternoon to fulfil an
engagement at the Providence theatre,
where shall play one of Shakespeare's
immortal creations. | shall return to
this city at the end OF the week, and will,
by Divine permission, preach three times
next Sabbath, on the Immortality of the
soul, the eternity of the matter, and in
answer to the question, Who is the
devil Z" May grace and peace be with
YOU. Amen"

STEAMBOAT DIsAsrER.-Q Quite accident has oo
Cured on the Tennessee River in the total loss Of
the Steamer Mary Mekinnie, coming from Knox
Vile on Saturday night December Sd. She had
considerable freight, and running at her usual
rate, when at Sail Creek about 80 miles from this
city, she struck snag and sunk in deep water part
ly, so that she nearly capszed, and is useless
wreck There We're 50 passengers on board at the
time and some little CONSERVATION prevailed among
them, but the steamer Loudon soon came along on
her downward trip, took off the passengers and a
little of the freight, but it is or less damaged

We expected to have laid the Presidents Mes
sage before our readers this morning as the House
was organized On Monday, aud the message no
doubt delivered yesterday. Printed copies were to
be placed in the hands Of Postmasters in the cities
TO be delivered to the press the telegraph
announced its reception by Congress. But ocop-
les have been received by the Postmaster here
It is supposed that the copies for this place were in
the mail which was stolen last week between Lou
isyile and Nashville We shall no doubt receive
the message by the Louisville papers Thursday
night. and if So we shall be able to print it in
daily of Friday morning
The House was organized on Monday, without
difficulty LINN Born, Of Kentucky, was reelected
Speaker and Col FoRNEY Clerk. This is favora-
bic indication Of democratic harmony. We greatly
hope that the expectations of the wings Of making
start for their party again by democratic dissen-
sions viii be blasted by prudent counsels at Wash
ington this winter. We know net what would be-
come of several wing papers Of our immediate ac-
quaintance should tbs be the result but it is better
that they should be at a loss for paragraphs than
that the country should suffer by divisions in the
great party to which i owes its prosperity and
glory.
7. S-From a telegraphc despatch received by
Gen. ANDERSON on yesterday we learn that the
Presidents Message was expected to reach Louis
vile last night. We viii probably get it to morrow
night If so we shall issue it Immediately in extra
form,
