Mormon CHILDRES.-A correspond
en-, at Salt Lake City writes: In regard
to the Mormon children-,hey appear
like neglected, uncared- for set, gener-
ally dirty and ill-clad. The majority oil
them are girls, and this troubles the wo-
men very much, for they know that te-
male is doomed TO slavery and life OF
misery. 1t is also a singclar fact that a
large portion ofthem are white headed.
These children are suffered TO grow up
in ignorance and vice. Without the hal
lowed influence of home to restrain them
they are vicious. profane and obscene.
Some OF the worst language | ever heard
fall from the lips of urchins in the street /;
but when the most profane and indecent
language is heard in their Tabernacle
and a, other public meetings, no one can
expect any other result. The MormouS
boast or e1ult in calling things, as they
say, by their right names: all parts of.he
human body are spoken of Familiarity, in
in terms that would make anybody but a
Mormon blush. and they say it is part
of their duty, if not OF their religion, to
teach their children knowledge of $ is
Sues as they term it. a.s..-. rtf

Weather and Crops in Louisiana.

says:
Sunday morning we had quite snow
storm-the first of the season. worth talk
ing about. Monday and Tuesday morn
ings heavy white frosts We're visible for
some time after sunrise-(all supposed to
have been superinduced by lreiand's
large cargo of ice at Washington, bu, we
don't think SOY We are aware how far
this unreasonable weather has injured
the growing crops. For day or two
past, fine, summer days and reasonable
cool nj ghts have frightened the hopes Of
our planters.
The Mount Lebanon Babtist of Thurs
day las, says:
On the night of the llth light snow
storm fell tor several hours. and next
morning the tops fhour houses were COW
cred with sleet. On Monday morning.
18th, there was ice and heavy frost.
Our forests look scar and sad. Many of
the large oak. ash, hickory and other trees
look as if they would never bud again.
The wheat crop is killed and must be
total failure and not peach. plum, cher
ry, or apple are we to expect from our orch
ards. Then again yesterday morning,
10th. there was considerable frost.
The Pioneer. of Assumption, OF Sunday
last says:
We have had a second visi. from frost
and ice the past week. greatly to the de-
iriment OF the cane and corn. The pros.
poets for large crop cfsugar which were
SO promising are for the moment asted,
and the great advantage gained by the
forwardness of the cane is lost. The sea-
son for the growth and maturity of this
crop is short one under the most favor
able circumstances. and unless we are "a
vored by the late appearance of frost in
the fall, it cannot exceed 25O.e0O hhds.s
During the month of April, ls49. the
morning Of the 10th. we had heavy
frost and some ice, which killed most of
the cane TO the ground. At the usual
grinding time in the fall, the cane was in
the midst of its greatest growth. and was
exceedingly green and unproductive Of su-
gar; we had no fros, to do any harm un-
till after Christmas, and those who did not
grind early in the season made good crops.
II is TO be hoped tha, we shall be equal.
~ fortunate this time.
From the Lake Providence Herald, of
Saturday, we extract the following:
II is common remark in this vicinity.
among the Oldest inhabitants, that more
backward spring than the present was
nevcr known. Vegetation in some ins,an-
ces has failed entirely, as with cotton,
which will have TO be replan,ed. Corn,
which was doing 50 finely prior TO the late
freeze, has been cut down even with the
surface of the ground. but may recuperate.
the weather permitting. Almost every
species Of vegetable and fruit, which es-
capped destruction, has been seriously re-
tarded by the extraordinary chiIliness of
the season. - -.-- .-E

LET THEM ALONE.

Every one will readily admit that there is
good sence in the following paragraph from
tie Augusta Dispatch:
The surest way of lifting up m mpostcr,
or building up a heresy, is to commence
abusing it, Error, rs well rs truth, crushed
To earth, will rise again. An Illustration Of
the truth Of this is afforded in the rise ard
progress Of the anti-slaverv crusade in this
country, 1t WIS ridiculed in its inception
denounced in its progress, until it is getiiag
strong enough to defy all the weapons rails
ed against it. And We. people waste their
time in trying TO array popular feeling, and
get up an issue with the agents and Guprs
of abolition. This is what they most desire
Agitation, and show OF mnrtyrdom, are
the great elements of their strength. We
have been led to these brief reflections from
seeing the rawlings OF GARRrsoN republished
with Comments, in South Carolina paper.
GARRISON wants no better aid and comfort
than the abuse of Southern Editors. 1t is
the marrow and caness Of his strength,
1t il not Only foolish, but absolutely dan
gerous to publish the wicked plans of these
crazy creatures, here in The midst of those
they IRE c lculated to mislead. Many OF our
slaves read the papers, and the attention we
pay to the abGlitionists is calculated to make
them feel that they are disinterrsted phiIan-
throPists, Sacrificing their time and means for
the relief of the nrgrues, when 1t is well
known that with very few exceptions the
hungry victim vt negro freedom gets hut
musty crusts from their hands Our stump
speakers, aud newspapers are sowing evil
seed In the land, when they dwell on the raw
ing Of these creatures, and initiate them into
dangerous importance. Let Us endeavor
to mind our own business, and in this re-
spect learn our Northern neighbors val
liable lesson,
