Later from Salt Lake.

The New York Sun publishes the following statements on the authority of Mr. B. E. Prince:
 1 left the Humboldt river in Utah territory, August 3I, and have just arrived in this city, via Great Salt Lake City, Forts Larimie and kearney. to Missouri river at St. Joseph by mules; thence by stage and railroad. The Mormons have an abundant harvest-enouuh to support triple their present popuIation.- While there August ID a hand cart train ar rived, containing over four hundred men, wo- men and children, seventy one days from Mis- souri river. Nearly all of them were Welsh and English, and were in good health and spir- It's. Brigham Young and the Elders were much lncensed that the President had appointed a Mlssourlan for Governor, as their hatred to- ward that State, as well as Illinois, is bitter in the extreme. It had been previously under stood by them that Major McCulluoch of Tex as had received the appointment. They open ly talk and preach in opposition to the Govern ment in language by no means chaste and re- fined; and the great mass of the people readi- ly acquisce, inasmuch as they have attach ment not even spark of patrotism-to our government and its institutions. 1 have not time to particularize on their movements, as in- dcatlng what course they will pursue.

State A ApricI1ltural Fair.

Our friends of the jefferson Enterprise take issue with us on the practicability of getting up state fair. They do not approve of our posi- tion of hostility to the scheme. Very well, we cannot help it. We have been strangely misconceived, that is all. We are not opposed to holding agricultural fairs We merely ex- pressed an opinion that, ct His time the scheme of getting one up was mpracticabe. We may be mistaken in the opinion, and we should be pleased if we were. While we deem such an enterprise impracticable, we are sure we appre- ciatc and have acknowledged its usefulness.
 We have read the article in the Enterprise with great deal of attention; but, though pre- pared with the usual ability of the editors, we are not convinced We still honestly think state fair impracticable, and should be sorry to see an effort to get one up made and taH.- Such failures do us no good-in the State or out of it. They discourage our citizens from undertaking practical schemes of benefit while they lower us in the estimation of the world abroad. We have had enough of failures enough of doubtful schemes. If our cotem- poraries would advocate something practical for the benefit of the farmer, we will join them in recommending the creation of an agricultural bureau by the General Assembly. The State is amply able to incur the expense of such an establishment-it would not cost much-would be perfectly practicable and would result in great benefit to the agricultural interest of the State
 Our friends of the Enterprise, in their cour- teors reply to our article, express their regret that other papers, in urging their opposition to our views, should introduce politics into the controversy. We should regret it too, if We cared farthing about the matter. If any paper in the State can make political capital by de- nouncing any of our views, they are entitled and welcome to do so. We know very well if we ever make msstcp, there are vultures enough watching to turn it politically to their own pro- fit and to our damnation. But we keep our r eyes open and our senses about us. We do not apprehend the commission of any very grave offence. We are a native citizen of Ar
 
 the State well, and where the heart is right, it is but seldom the head errs.
 The Enterprise compliments our candor and independence in frankly expressing our opinion in the face of what we acknowledge to be the popular sentiment. We thank it for the com pliment, but if it looked at the matter as we do it would not deem us SO deseryinp The idea of state fair is popular at this moment but it will not be so after failure. By urging the holding of one now we might gain some applause, but, hereafter we would be severely censured. Those who would be the warmest in their praises in the beginning, would be the bitterest in their denunciations in the end We donot labor for temporary triumphs--our hearts desire is the real prosperity and the permanent good will of our fellow w-citzens, and to that end we direct all of our labors

 THE CUsToM hoUsE ROBBERY AT RICHMOND NA&The amount of specie stolen is S2O638 It was obtained by forcing open the large iron safe The Whis says;
 "Thc floor Of the office was strewed with gold coin and empty bags; and near the front door were deposited d couple ol snalI pouches, which the burglars probably intended to return for, but cone uded, no doubt, that 1t was safer Lot to do so. The LewS of the robbery spread through the city, and curiosity attracted large number of citizens to the custom house, but the doors were kept closed until Mir. Harrison, his deputies and the merchants, who extended their aesstance had untel the treasure re- mainius. The amount of specie which hal been left in the safe Monday afternoon was S67 GOO. Tie result of the Investigation show ed that the sum of 0,688, had been abstract- ed, consisting of Sl5OOO In twentieS, $5, ,605 in lives, and one three dollar piece
 "Tne wreck of the safe door was complete The head of the upper left rivet had been knocked off with cold chisel, and an aperture made bel0lO the block which constitutes the powder-proof lock-" Through these crevices powder was poured into the frame of the door and ignited. The explosion burst apart the frame work and enabled the burglars to prize open the shattered door,
 We believe there Is no clue to the burglars at least we were informed at the custom-house that 10 suspicion rested upon any person."

ARKANSAS lMPovERIsHED," etc.-We are happy in being able, this week, to lay before our readers, an article from the " True Democrat under the above head It is on our first page. Let every true democrat read it. We especially commend it to the attention of all rotating democrats. We wish them to learn how our State officials are ruling to ruin our Statel- $200oO0 in gold and silver in the treasury and the State not one cent in debt on her own ae- count! By the meeting of the next legislature this sum will be nearly doubled Alasl what wreck and ruin our democratic office holders have made and are making of the States pros- perity. But worse and worse. "Witbin inc last three years over one million and half,, of the debt incurred on account of the banks. has been paid of, and this, too, without taking one cent of the peoples money!! And yet the rotators cry "rule and ruin.' Family" "Conway and Johnson;" "Johnson and Con- way" Rotate, rotate.' Well, if this is w at they call "rule and ruin," we are very much mistaken If the people are sorry for it. They like to beTuined in this way, and the rotators may bawl rotation, until their lungs fail under their exertions, and still the people will prefer honest, capable, efficient, discreet office holders, those who are acquainted with the affairs of the State, and who know how to watch over them for the welfare of the whole community ito new and untried ones-whose knowledoe must necessarily be limited concerning these matters, and whose qualifications have pever been developed, and whose efficiency has never been put to the test Iraueler

ADDRESS OF HENRY HAYS EsQ.-On the 18th of October we published the address of MT. Hays; but neglected to precede it with the usual correspondence on sach occasions, supposing that it would be unnecessary to publish the letter of the committee requesting copy of said address for publication and the authors re- ply. Since then we have been requested to publish them.
 Upon looking for the documents we find but the reply of the author. We do not recollect receiving the request from the committee to have the address published; but find note from Concord Lodge No. 3, accompanying the ad- dress, earnestly soliciting us to give the address place in the True Democrat. We hope this explanation will be satisfactory to all parties

THE NEXT CONGRESS. democrats will have majority of eighteen or twenty in the lower house, while the Senate is also democra- tic We are rejoced at this result The next Congress will be an important one. There are many questions of deep interest to come up before it. An attempt will be made to re-en- act a high protective tariff as remedy for the financial distress of the country. The effort as it deserves, will meet with no countenance from the majority of Congress. A high tariff can bring no relief. It is not the proper remedy. The cause of the calamity that is now upon us is the great amount of paper mo- hey now in circulation. The paper money has driven the specie out of the country. Until our paper currency is diminished and demand IS created for gold and silver as circulating medium, there will always be scarcity of the latter, and so long there is scarcity of specie, and bank promises to pay constitute our cur rency, we shall always be liable to such finan- cal reyulsions as we are now in the midst of.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.
IHashinaton. October IS. 1857.

Orders have been given for fitting out with dispatch the swjiteSt war steamer of the navy, for the purpose of interceptng or preventing the new expedition of Gen. Walker for Central America. These orders, probably result from the report that Gen. Walker and Hcnuingsen had arranged an expedition which was to de- part either from New OrIeaus or some other southern port. The government, probably, acted not merely upon rumor in the matter, but upon information received in response to the circular issued from the department Of State about a moath ago, addressed to the United States district attorneys, marshals etc, requiring them to exercise due vigilance for the detection and prevention of any expeditions for Costa RcA, Nicaragua, etc., Ill violation of the neu- trality law. What shall constitute violations i5 another matter, and $ to be determined upon evidence when d case shall be made before the U. $. courts.
 About the end of August last, MT. Mex ean. U. $. district attorney for New York, reported to the government that he had information that certain expeditions were in preparation for a descent upon the coast of Central Americas; that money and munitions Of war were contributed for the purpose in New York and elsewh here, aud that men in considerable numbers were en- listed for the object at the South.
 Subsequently the ministers from some of the Spanish American States addressed an official note to the Secretary of State invoking the in terventon ot the government for the suppress sion of certain expeditions which, as they al legged, were about to be directed from the United States against countries with which the United States were at peace. Whatever was the reply, it is quite certain that this government will eu- force the neutrality laws, and that at the same time they are about to adopt such course of policy towards the States of Costa Rica and Nicaragua will promote their internal tram guilty, and secure an uninterrupted enjoyment of the Nicaraguan transit to the travel and com merce of the United States and to the whole world.
 Financial matters are about to settle down quietly upon the basis of current funds" SC called, because they are t,nc,oTeat out of the vicinity of their issue. Ii this currency does not soon degenerate into old-fashioued shiu. plasters, then all signs fail.
 The Pennsylvania relief bill is 10 relief tC tie banks of that State. My assumption tha the legislature would not afford relief to the extent desired Is verified. The law that Ina. passed Is one for the relief of bank debtors, anC Is unjust and oppressive to the banks.

The Van Buren Intelligencer.

On tue 10th uit. contains d long editorial headed Rotation and Expediencv" attrlbutng the lack oi railroads in Arkansas to the " do- mmancy" of "the family and predicting a millennium If the rotation broom is applied and d sweeping change of officers made
 Notwithstanding differences of opinion upon the new ism, the lnteligencer and this journal have thus far maintained the most aincable relations. It Is both our wish and hope that those relations may continue unmpared h this sllrlt, we put these questions to our cotem- porary:
 lat Are not the people of Arkanoas indebt- ed to Robert W J Johlson--one of " the family'' --lor tue magnificent land grant to the Cairo aud Fulton railroad and misunderstanding to us the most magnificent railway advantages possessed by any State of the Union?
 2l. Do not the benefits thus secured by Johnson largely ovcIbalance the average ai vantases secured to their constituents by mem Ders ot Congress?
 3l. Can Johnson therefore be justly termed an inefficient or nes ecttul public scryant?-- Ueieua UenSOcrat.
 In advocating rotation, we have made no charges against the Hon. R. w. Johnson. We say unhesltatiugy y that he has made a most etli- clent member of Congress, and if when hi, senatorial term expires, it IS thought by ma Jorty oi the democratic party that the interest of the State would be subserved by re eectino him to that position; there is no one to whom we would give warmer support.
 We admire his iorcible energetic character his persevering advocacy of every measure of interest to his constituents and would not de- tract one lota from the credit due him. SGU we believe in rotation as the policy of the demo. cratic party, 1t always has been so considered was so considered by the framers of our State constitution, vlde the following clause:
 SEC f. :" The Governor shall hold his office | for the term of four years from the time of his Installation, and until his successor shall be dulv l qualllled: But he shall not be eligible for more than eight years in any term of tw elve wears. ,, ConSt. of State of Arkansas. Digest paoe 54
 In advocating rotation we war upon no one individually, we advocate the general principle. Not an Individual application, and are frank to say, that there are probably times and circum- stances in which rotation would not be good policy, ot such the people themselves must judge. In conclusion we have only to say, that If the majority of the democratic party of the State, think that the interest of tine State will be SubServed by the reelection of any or all the present incum bents-why, content say we. y,,y.

MISSISSIPPI ELECTIoN.--In the next Con- gress, Mississippi will have an undivided de- mocratic delegation. Col. Singleton has de- feated Mir. Lake in the fourth district by a majority of 1,l49. Mr. Lake was the only member the Know Nothings had from MiSss- sippi in the last Congress.
 Starting out with so many fourishes and such large pretensions, the fall of the Know Nothings has been most wonderful. In the present Congress- out of two hundred and thirty-one members, they have not more than eight or ten wherewith to "rule America.'
