A BIG HEARTED WoMAN.-In the
early part of the present month, the
spirituaIists, male aud Finale, of Ohio,
held a convention at Rayenna-
Much was said, and, it may. be, more
was done among them. During The
discussion, Mrs. Lewis, strong,
minded, warm-spirited and big-hearted
woman delivered herself by saying:
That she was in favor OF universal
freedom. and that loving whomsoevel
she chose was a part of that freedom,
and to confine her to love one man
was an abridgement of her rights,
She said that, s'although she had one
husband in Cleveland, she considered
herself married to the whole race,
All men were husbands, and she had
an undying love for them She
said also, "what business is it to the
world whether one man is the father
of my children OF ten men are? ]

father Of my offspring

THE MORMONS.
AUGUST 6, 1857

The Mormoos are escaping from
Utah. The sensible ones are dis
gustel with Brigham Young and his
satellites. One hundred Of them ar
rived recently at Lawrence, in Kan
sas, and they report the departure Of
one thousand, in different directions,
at the same time. IL this scattering
of "the saints" is not ruse Of the
prophet, tits ohinous and significant.
1t corroborstes all Of our arguments.
The unfortunate women who we're
lured into Utah by appealing to their
religious enthusiasm are 10 despair,
these emigrants assure Us, for want
of some means of escape from the
monsters who treat them like brutes,
and subject them to every species of
oppression. The fanatics of both
sexes will adhere to Brigham Young,
no doubt, till the last moment; but
the remainder will revolt at the first
offer of protection from Governor
Cummings; and We fancy that, should
it come to blows, General Harvey
will make short work Of the arch
imposter and his aeolytes. The
Mormons are chiefly outcasts of the
lowest description. They ars taught
by Brigham to cherish the most i'm
placabls hostility to our government.
They have an extraordinary idea Of
their own proves and military force.
Those who remain true to the proph-
ct win fight, therefore, with an ener-
gy worthy, in their minds, Of the 90
casion; but their fate, we apprehend,
is sealed, and 50 is that Of Mormon
ism.

rier says that within the past few

CROPS IN ALABAMA. The Tuscum-

Rain has fallen almost every day for
the past two or three weeks, the
water courses are full and the roads
nearly as bad as in mid-wintel. Corn
looks finer than We ever saw itbefore
in this valley, and the crop is nov
past all danger. A large crop was

The PRICE OF SUGAR The New
York Times, in predicting a decline
in the price of sugar, says:
The prospects Of a full crop are
highly encouraging. The high prices
which have ruled the.psst two years,
have stimulated production, while
they have caused a diminution of con-
sumption; and the natural consequent
ces are increasing stock and a tenden-
cy to lower prices; besides, the crop OF
Louisiana promises to be nearly four
times greater than it was last year,

Grasshoppers.

The Minnesota grasshoppers are
not only destroying the crops, but
are literally eating the people tout
of house and home" The st. An
thony Express says:
avery field from Itasca to Mon
ticello was swept as with the bosom
of destruction; on large cultiya-
ted fields scarce a blade being left
to indicate that a fourshing crop had,
4 short time since, been growing -
On a few pieces of wheat, short stubs
lof the stalk were left, but each with
from one to ten grasshoppers on it,
finishing the remnants as rapidly as
their digestive organs would permit.
But on the greater part of the fields,
and all indeed in the vicinity of Mon
ticello, although the crops came up
and grew beautifully for short time,
not a single indication of growing
grain of any kind whatever can be
discovered. Wheat, oats, corn, pota-
toes, and gardens-all have shared
the same fate, and become food for
the destroyer. Nay, more, the insa-
table gormandizers, not satisfied with
taking the crops, forced THEN way
into the parlors and sitting rooms,and
commenced an indiscriminate on
lslaught on curtains, sofas, cushions,
fclothins, carpets, ETC., and unless i'm
mediately removed, will in a short
time, ruin whatever of this nature
comes inthair.way. This we were as
sured on the best authority, nor had
we the slightest reason to doubt it from
what fell under our own observation. y
