The EXCEEDING VITALITY OF MoRNoSIsv

Editor Of the Mormon, and President Of tbe
Mormon Church in the Atlantic States, IL.

He says
We are heartily tired at being con-,

some ridiculous article against Gov. Young
and the Mormons Indeed, to answer al

and keep in operation all the printing pres.

with. The devil has not had anything like

despise it, kick it, or drive it, spurn il, Or
love it, still Mormonism is just the same

The Indian Mutiny,

Rev. DR.. Duff, the distinguished mission
ary in India, has published pamphlet up
on the causes of the mutiny in India. He
thinks it absurd to attribute it to the attempt
to enforce the use of CREASED cartridges,
though he believes it quite likely that this
was the occasion seized upon for an out
break. He ascribes the mutiny to two
causes-Grst, the existence of active ele-
ments and agents Of treachery, "of an es-
sentially political character" at all times
ready to take advantage secretly of any
chance for arraying native superstition,
jealousy, and dislike, in murderous violence
against the British rule; and able, by their
secret character and the deep grasp they
take upon weak and yet passionate race,
by means of its traditions and prejudices, to
communicate their influence with fearful
celerity and effect throughout the Oriental
empire; and second, general condition Of
disloyalty and disaffection at heart towards
not only the British Government, but even
their own regimental officers. A mixture
of the profoundest ignorance and indiffer-
ence as to the feelings and character Of the
Sepoy appears to characterize the British
officers Of the native regiments. No friend
ship, gratitude, or respect are cultivated
generally in the breasts of these Hindoo
soldiers by the exhibition Of kindly inter
est and fcllow-feeling, consideration for
their comfort, for their feelings, and for their
prejudice in private, nor by high military
character and bearing on duty. The mer-
ciess slaughter of all the officers, with here
and there perhaps an honored exception,
without one friendly intimation from an at
tached and grateful soldier, shows what re-
lations subsist between the men and their
military superlors.

TERRIBLE GUNPowDER ExPLosIoN-THREE
LIVES Losr.-A terrible explosion of gun.
powder occurred near Wilmington, Della
ware, on Saturday afternoon, o'clock, at
DuponVs powder works. Alexis j. Du-
pont, assisted by seven workmen, was re-
moving large, heavy box from the pow
der-house, when the box coming in contact
with the wall caused friction producing
fire. An explosion followed, burning all
hands in shocking manner.
Mr.. Dupont leaped into the mill.race
near by, and the others made every effort
to extinguish the fire on their clothes. Mr..
Dupont hastened to see if the press roof
had caught fire, and as he approached, q
terrible explosion occurred, shattering the
building to atoms. SBy the flying fragments
Mr.. Dupont had his right thigh fractured
and three Of his ribs broken.
Mr.. Dupont Anthony Dougherty, and
Edward Harst, fireman, have since died.

the whites that Bob Metcalf, the Indian
agent, had been shot at by the Indians
that two Indians we're killed, and that q

A nj an Of Business,

In one of the western counties of New York il a
man by the name of Zadock Pratt, one of the bone
and sinew, an intelligent mechanic and farmer who
has contributed greatly to the general prosperity
well as to his individual wealth In "A speech at
an Agricultural Fair i'll Green county, New York
he said that, since he had been engaged in farming
he had employed over fifteen thousand wears of
other mems labor; had employed thirty thousand
men, and paid them for their labor over two mil
lions five hundred thousand dollars He had cleared
over ten thousand acres OF land used over two hun
dred thousand cords Of hemlock bark and paid over
half million Of dollars for it. lie had used and
worn out five hundred horses and one Thousand
yoke Of oxen; used two hundred thousand bushels
OF oats, one hundred and twenty thousand tons Of
hay, thirty thousand barrels of beef and pork near
iy one hundred thousand barrels of -four and pota-
toes without number or measure. lie had tanned
over one million two hundred and fifty sides Of
leather; his usual disbursement is over five thou
sand dollars per day; and he has used in his bust
ness over ten millions. He has never had a side Of
leather stolen, and never sued on account
OF his business transactions. We should say that
Zadock was valuable member of society. More
over this shows the advantage of diyersiiying la
Dor, and of bringing the man who consumes by the
side of him who produces.
