EMIGRATION TO TgSas.-We have lately
taken trip iron this place to the North Eas-
tern section Of our State, and have witnessed
great tide ofemigrallon from there. and from
elsewhere, for toe new Egypt of the United
States Texas. Every ncighborllood contrib
utes to swell the already full numbers; and
our thoroughfarcs are thronged with movers.
II is not unirequent to pass 20 and 80 wagons
and carts in day, filled with females and chill
dren, and escorted By parents, owners and their
servants. Ii reminds one Of the reading Of the
Exodus.
Among those who have lately passed through
onr city was James Thomson, Esq. from
Spring,ile st. Clair county, en- route for
Huntsville, Texas. Mr.. Thomson had resi-.

COWS would eat up the establishment, deem.

SAYS, however, that the evidence that we
have got the greens is fslsdej by the Mef

The Herald is right, We never go. the

HOME OF GENERAL PIERCE-BURIAL
PLACE OF HIS SON.
correspondent

A correspondent of the Portland
Me- Argus, writing from Concord, N.
H., under date of the 3lst ultimo, saws:
All strangers visiting here make pill
grlmage to the home of President Pierce
and the resting place of his son, who met
with so Melancholy death. The former
is situated on the lower end of Main st.
tits plain, unpretending, tho ugh nice
~ finished wooden house, surrounded by
a row of large and noble elms, affording
a delightful shade to the tastefully laid
out garden and walks adjoining.
Sunday, after church, l took walk
through the cemetery. At a lot enclosed
by a rich iron fence, arched over by the
dropping limbs of a spreading weeping
willow, noticed nearly all passers-by
paused. Here is the grave of young
Pierce, whose sudden death while travel
ing with his father called forth the SYM
pathies of the whole nation. A plain
marble obelisk, about five feet in height,
tearing the truthful inscription, "Only
and we'll beloved" marks his grave. 4
lesser one by its side is erected in men,
ory oi younger son, who died ten years
before.

LETTER FROM GOV BRIGHAM YOUNG.
The Mormon Faith-Climate and fgriculture
Of the Mormon Settlements.

OF the Mormon settlements.
GREAT SALT LAKE CITY, March 81, 1854.
Dear Sir: cheerfully comply with
the request contained in your letter of
December Sd, though necessarily in ra-
ther brief manner. In carefully exam
mining the history of the Church of Jesus
Christ in the days of the Twelve Apos-
ties, find faith, repentance and baptism
enjoired upon all desirous Of salvation !:
with this we most heartily coincide, in
common with all Christendom, except
in the mode, which we believe should be
invariably by immersion, and in this we
do not differ from the Baptists, any many
members of most of the sectS.
After the administration Of baptism,
we believe in laying hands upon lie
candidate for his confirmation as men,
Der Of the church, and for his reception,
of the Holy Ghost; and we believe that
these, and all other ordinances pertain
ing to salvation should be administered
by persons actually clothed with tie
priesthood, as again restored to the
earth through the ministration of angels
to the Prophet Joseph Smith. We be-
lieve in the same church organization
that was instituted by the Saviour Will,
he was upon the earth, viz: churct
with apostles, prophets, evangelists, pas
tors, teachers. gifts, helps, governments
&c, and in the enjoyment of the same
spirit that was anciently conferred, Civ
ing to one the gift of prophecy. to ano.
ther the gift of healing, &c. The pos
session of the priesthood, the church
organization, and the gifts of the spirit
are some of the main doctrinal points
which distinguish us from the majority
of persons called Christians.
We are actually in possession of these
great blessings, ani hence do knoir thai
the promise was indeed unto them ltht
believers) and their children, and that
the Almighty is no respt cter of persons
and is the same yesterday, to-day ano
for ever. We furthermore believe thai
each person, IN every age, from Adam
until now, will be rewarded according
to the deeds done in the body" and b.
Judged according to the law which h'
was privileged to obey or disobey, ano
that celestial glory in the presence o
our God can be obtained only through
obedience to the celestial law, as taugh
by Christ and his apostles.
.tOur settlements are in a fourishins
condition, and those channels for profita
BILE occupation, usual to newly-scttleC
countries, are equally free to all law
abiding settlers, and the civil and reli
gious rights of all are guarded by the eff
cient administration of good and whole
some constitutional laws. ...-.

HONEST LABOR Labor, honest labor,
is right and beautiful. Activity is the
ruling element of life, and its highest rel
ish. LuxurieS and conqueSts are the re-
suit of labor-we can imagine nothing
without it. The noblest man of earth is
he who puts his hands cheerfully and
proudly to honest labor. Labor is bu.
siness and ordinance Of God Suspend
labor, and where is the glory aud pomp
of earth-the fruit fields and palaces and
fashioniugs of matter for which men strive
and war! Let the labor scoffer look
around him, look at himself, and learn
what are the trophies of toll. From the
crown of his head to the sole Of his foot,
unless heis Carib, made as the beast,
lac is the debtor and slave of toll. The
labor, which he scorns has tracked him
into the stature and appearance Of man.
