Mr.. GoUGH's APosToPHE TO WATER.
At the close ofone Of the lectures Of Johr
d. Cough, in Galena, he took a glass OF
water, and holding it aloft before the au-
dience, he apostrophized in the following
eloquent manner:
Look at that We thirsty ones Ofearth!
Behold it! See It's purity! How it glitters
as if a mass Of liquid gems! 1t is be-
verage that was brewed by the hand OF
the Almighty himself! Not in the sim
mering still or smoking fires. choked
with poisonous gases, and surrounded by
the stencil of sickening odors and rank
corruptions, doth our Father in Heaven
prepare the precious essence Of life, the
pure cold water; but in the green glade
and grassy dell, where the red deer wan
ders and the child loves to play; there
God brews it and down, down in the
deepest valleys, where the fountains
murmur and the rills, sing; and high upon
the tail mountain tops, where the naked
granite glitters like gold in the sun, where
the storm clouds brood and the thunder
storms crash; and away far out on the
wide sea, where the hurricanes howl mu-
sic and the big waves roar the chorus,
sweeping the march Of God-there he
brews it.---;hat beverage of life--health-
giving water. And everywhere is teau-
ty; cleaning in the dewdrop. singing in
the summer rain, shining in the ice gem
till the trees all seem turned into living
jewels--spreadinga golden veil over the
setting sun or white gauze around the
midnight moon, sporting in the cataract,
sleeping in the glaciers. dancing in the
hail shower--folding its bright curtain
softly about the windy world and weav-
ing the many colored iris--that seraph's
zone Of the sky, whose warp is the rain
drop OF earth whose wool is the sunbeam
Of heaven, all checkered over with the
celestial flowers by the mystic hand of
refrac,ion--still always it is beautiful,
that blessed life wate, No poison bub-
bles on the brink; it, foam brings no sad
ness or murder. no olood stains its linn
pid glass; broken hearted wifes, pale
widows and starving orphans shed no
tears in its depths; no drunkard's Shrek
ing ghost, from the grave, curses it in
words Of eternal despair; beautiful, pure,
blessed and glorious; give me forever the
sparkling, pure cold water!''

Mrs. FANNY KEMBLE BUTLER.-This
eccentric lady has written letter to the
Rev Henry w. Bellows, of New York,
protesting against the position which he
assumed as a defender Of the legitimate
drama. Upon this. MIR. Barry. manager
Of the Boston Theater. writes letter to
the Boston Journal, expressing his sur
prise that "a daughter OF the stage
should be the one to aim blow at the
profession to which she owes the position
she now enjoys" Manager Barry in
forms Mrs. Kemble Butler tina; she might
have remembered that her father, her
grandfather, her mother and her uncles,
were all actors, and nothing but actors.
lie also reminds the lady that she is the
author OF two plays, both singulary re-
markable for the holiness of the langu-
age. the immortality Of the plot, aud the
license Of the situations. One of these
plays Mr.. Barry rejected, on account of
its immoral nature. His letter puts Mrs.
Kemble in a very dsasreeable position.

Utah.

Recent dispatches received at Wash
ington from Salt Lake city-both public
and private-show the state OF affairs
under the Mormon rule to be now shock
ing than the worst representations yet
made Of them.
The record Of social crimes is swollen
by many facts OF the most startling cha
racter. With all we have heard of the
debasing influence Of polygamy. and the
disgusting brutalities and indecencies
flowing from that polluted source, it
would seem that not the half has been
told. The thoroughly organized system
Of espionage established by the despot
who presides over the spiritual and tenn
poral concerns Of Mormondom, has rem
dered it nearly or quite impossible to
send letter out Of the Territory which
contains anything like truthful account
OF the condition of affairs there; and the
same instrumentality seals the lips oi
the sufferers themselves while in the Ter
ritory-from which they can escape only
with great difiiculty-for increased op-
preston or death itself is sure to follow
close upon the heels of suspicious discon-
tent.
Although large numbers Of the Saints
are disailected towards the leaders, there
that, since Brigham's despotsm has ac-
cumulated lis present strength and bold
ness, it is as much as a mans life is worth
70 rebel against it. The malcontents
have no opportunity whatever for orga-
nization. If they attempt it, some mem
Der of the secret order Of the Danites-
the Jesuits Of the Mormon Church-are
sure to get into and betray their councils
Thus betrayed, secret violence at the
hands OF Brigham's assassins--nerved
oy the assurance that such deeds are &C.
cepted as God sery ice-is the almost GER
tam penalty. Late advices from Utah
state that, should military force be sent
into the Territory strong enough to afford
protection to the seeding brethren and
sisters, the Church would lose at once a
very large PERCENTAGE Of the former and
nearly all OF the latter.
In the natural progression polygamic
deSpotlsm, the consent OF a woman Is be.
coming a,superHuous condition to the in
crease of Saints stock Of wistresSes. -
Numbers OF them have been compulsori-
ly "sealed" (proSt;tuted) through machi-
nations and influences, to resist which
they were powerless. A man by the
name Of Nash, emigrated to Utah last
Summer, and settled in Provo, aSouthern
colony, taken with him his daughter, a
beautiful and interest ng daughter of some
seventeen summers, who had been much
sought by the propagators Of the ''CeIeS-
tial Kingdom" She succeeded, however.
in battling the antiquated and annointed
rones among the Saints. and preserved
her purity until after the death of her
father and only protector, which accured
during the past Winter. The Bishop of
Provo, a creature named Carter, oificiated
at the funeral of Nash, and after conclu-
ding the prayer over the dead body Of
the father. turned to the weeping girl, in
formed her that she was now unprotec-
ted, and must become his wife! In less
than ten days she was forced to yield
and now swells the number Of Carter's
spirituals TO seven!

rKANsAs.-Gov. Walker was enter
tanned at public dinner in New York. on
Tuesday last by his friends, at which he
was called out in a speech, the pith of
which is given in the New York Herald
as follows:
The people Of the Territory had clear
and unquestionable right to decide for
themselves upon the adoption of StateCon-
stitution-and any a. tempt on the part Of
any Convention. or any other body Of men,
however respectable and influential they
might be, to impose upon them Consti-
tuition not sanctioned by the popular vote
would be usurpation and wrong which
could not be tolerated moment. So far
as the utmost exercise OF his official
powers and his personal influence would
90 to secure that result, Gov. Walker
said he was determined the people Of
Kansas should have an opportunity for a
full, free and solemn expression of their
will upon u option ofany Consti ution
that might framed-aiter fair and
satisfactory census of all the bona fide
inhabitanL- . who might be in the Terrific
ry at the time. He considered this due
to them. 1t was part of their inherent
and inalienable sovereignty. And he
should consider it, not only point Of
law and OF official duty, as an officer Of
the Territory. but point Of honor as
man and gentleman, to do everything
in his power to secure to.them the full,
fair and indisputed exercise of this funda
mental right. This he believed to be the
great point essential to the peace and
welfare of Kansas. If the people could
have such vote, all dissensions would
he settled. And he regarded all the
past diiierenccs--th contests about the
Legislature, apout the Topeka ConStitu-
ton, about the census and register OF
vOters-as preliminary questions; impOr-
tant, undoubtedly but deriving most of
their consequence from their relation to
the people Of Kansas to decide for them
selves upon the Constitution which may
be for their adoption IL this could be
properly and satisfactorily adjusted, all
the difficulties which now embarraSs the
settlement OF the Territory would disap-
pear.
These are sound and courageous views,
but we have some fears of his power to
executejustice to all parties. We do not
see how he is to set aside all the wrong
doings of those who have got power from
the Legislature in their hands; he can
not set aside the census just taken --nor
arrest the proceedings under it; nor will
he have any control over the proceedinos
Of the constitutional Convention.
