On one of these beautiful October mornings L
again visited the Aims House of our city, with
one whose mission is to relieve the wants of the
poor, and to ameliorate the sufFerings of the I'M
fortunate.
This time 1 certainly hoped to prove our re.
demption, to our visitor, and to remove the mel
ancholy impression that our visit of November
last had stamped on her memory. expected it
the more because knew the proper officers had
been faithfully performing their duty, learning
the wants of the place and promptly answering
them. Knowing all this, with sort of exulting
pride, entered the premises and saw that the
hand of Improvement had been there. All around
was an air of thrift and neatness. We were not
obliged to stumble over plows left where they had
turned the last furrow; agricultural implements
scattered in all directions no longer panied the
eye; but there seemed to be place for every
thing and everything in its place.
As we passed into the house, we were received
by the matron with the cordial welcome and in
wiling smile of one who presdes over happy
home. We were soon Joined by her husband, and,
as they stood before us, we were at once assured
that we should find things changed. We were
showed through the establishment, from cellar
to attic, and found it in the most perfect ORDER
without anything to offend.
The inmates seemed contented and happy, and,
the matron as she met them, had for each kind
salutation and some pleasing words that fell like
sunshine, to dispel the sadness of their misfor-
tunes.
Truly Transforming spirit has entered there;
grace and peace seem to consecrate the house

or console the death bed with last benediction.
The teachings of Holy Writ have become familiar
sounds, giving comfort and overshadowing the
troubled soul with love and hope.
l take great pleasure in assuring our citizens
that this institution is conducted in a manner
that will do honor to our benevoence and do
justice to the character of our city. E.

rise under the new apportonment system, will

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 A letter has been re-
ceived in this city from W. P. Landon, one of
the clerks, whom the late surveyor, Gen. Burr,
left in charge OF the office, when he for his own
safety, left the territory Of Utah last spring. He
was on the 18th of Sept, in Placerville, Cafor-
MIA. In giving an account of his escape from
Salt Lake City, he says, that. while engaged in
conversation with party of emigrants, he was
assaulted by gang of mOImons, led on by a fell
low named Dick Petit and rufian associate,
who, without cause, beat him with stones and
clubs. He scarcely able to reach home in
consequence Of his wounds The same alter
noon, they attacked the Deputy Surveyor, Mayo,
with stones. Landon was driven from his house
at night, leaving his wife and child at Salt Lake
City. After adroitly eluding his armed pursuers,
be reached Placerville in most distressing con-
ditlon. He says he met on the road the Indian
Peter, who used 10 frequent the Surveyor Cen
erals office. Peter informed him that Brigham
Young had sent him out to get horses and car
blnes. The Indian spared his life, because he
had on several occasions, given him red paint.
Landon had not long parted from him. before he,
the Indian, shot man with four balls. He es.
capped, though much injured. Another clerk in
the Surveyor Generals office, Mr.. Wilson, was
also attacked by the mormons They roughly
seized him, tearing him away from his family.
They commanded him to go along with them and
to make no fuss, or they would d-n soon show
him what they were going to do with him. Mr..
Landons letter gives the particulars of these oc-
currences. He concludes, by saying, that all
the mcrmons have left Placerville and Carson
Valley, for the purpose of defending Zion.

Gen. Walkers New Expedition,

New YORK, Oct. correspondence Com
mercial Advertiser. 1.-The United States govern
ment is quite in earnest in its attempts to prevent
Walkers new expedition against Costa Rica and
Nicaragua, obligations which they they have as
sumed in late negotiations with other powers, are
OF character that must force them to put down
filibusterism. There exists an entire accord be-
tween this government and that of England on
this subject. The government will respect the
rights of Nicaragua, and the British government
have signifed their assent to our position on this
subject, and therefore the government of Costa
Riea will not be permitted, by either power, to
encroach upon the rights or limits of Nicaragua.

PRICES TO SUIT THE TIMEs.-The trades
men, especially those of New York and Bos-
ton, are advertising low prices for their goods,
preferring to take the loss on the sale OF their
stock rather than to submit to enormous in
terest, which is, after all, only temporary
expedient. The traders in Providence, are,
some Of them, doing the same but they do
not enough of them take the means to make
their policy effectual, by making it known
through the public papers. There never was
a time when judicious advertising by those
who really mean to sell at low prices, would
tell better than now. Amidst all the panic
and stagnation Of trade, the purchases for the
daily wants of the people must 60 on, and the
rich are tempted by low prices to buy the
Injuries that they pass by when only offered
at the usual prices The business men of Bos-
ton and New York understand these things.

persons, who, influenced by the recent panic,
withdrew their money from the Savings Bank in
this city are now depositing it again in specie
which they had drawn from the banks, having
become satisfied that it was the safest place of
deposit.-FaH RiUer Star, Saturday.
An Irishwoman in this city, who withdrew
from Savings Bank the sum of four hundred
dollars during the recent panic, will hardly be
able to deposit that sum again, as her husband
seeing the money, enticed her to drink to state
of stupefaction, and while she was in that state
made off with the money. The safest place in
the world to keep money is in a Savings Bank.
