The New York Herald of Saturday afternoon, pub.
fishes the following letter from a Mormon Elder,
which gives account of the ravages of the grass
hoppers in Utah:
GREAT SALT LAKE CITY, U. T.,
June l, 1855
You will recollect me, late as Speaker of the
House of Representatives of this Territory and now
member of said House and having lust returned
from tour through the southern settlements of this
far off land, in company with the Governor and
others, am prepared 10 give accounts of the most

The wheat crop, which promised so much, and
which is almost the only commodity of life, in these
thousand mile deserts and thousand feet mountains,
is like extingushed light, gone-yes, that and al
most eVerything else that be nibbled by grass
hoppers, have vanished " like the baseless fabric OF
a vision.'
To all appearance, seed will not be raised for an
other crop; and matter of course meat of every
kind must be us as scarce, unless make dernle1
resort on the grass-hoppers.
Mr.. Cain, gentleman Of probity and quick dis
cernment, has just returned from excursion north
and says the grasshoppers are pushing themselves
out of the earth by billions and trlions; and should
the weather hasten their growth and their wings
so as to fly, the whole country may cry I" Wo be &c
the land of their flight and the day of their might"
The great European armies of the Crmea cannot
mete out destruction like this host of Jehovah anC
except we live by faith, We live not; for the little
fellows, after vanquishing the crops make war upor

and plains and. insects and hunger have no con

o. The census of the State of New York now be-
ing taken, exhibits the fact of the growth of the
great cities and towns at the expense of the country
New York City, Buffalo, and such like places have
grown enormously, but several of the agricultural
countless as well as the smaller towns, have actually
fallen off since 1880. We fear that there is alto
gether too great disposition manifested in the
United States to measure prosperity and general ad-
vancement by the undue growth of towns and Cities
and to minister to and promote such growth under
this mistaken idea 1t would be far better for the
country if agriculture more cultivated-if pro-
duction and the means of production were more at
tended and the mere means of transit and exchange,
as railroads and cities, ceased to engross vast
proportion of the capital energy and population of
the country.
