Mormons Leaving Illinois.
From The Alton Courier, May 2lst.


The Mormons of Alton have about
all left, ''bag and baggage" for the
Upper Missouri, thence to take their
weary march across the plains. The
most of them ''intend to 90 to a new
region Of the Salt Lake country, some
200 miles from the Great City---to 'tho
Wilderness, as they term it--and there
found q new town" A small number
only go to the city of Brigham Young.
The latter band started from here one
month later than the former. AT New
Florence, town near st. Joseph, they
are to be organized into companies,
each two or three persons to hand
cart, and with some ox-teams follow.
ing, to carry the heavy luggage, and
the aged and feeble; they set off upon
their marches as soon as the spring
weather permits. We are unable to
state precisely how many persons or
families have thus left our city, but
have heard them estimated at 100
souls, and some 25 families. There is
large Mormon emigration this spring,
OF people who have. lived in the various
States during the winter past and
whose eyes should have been opened
somewhat to the real state of things in
Utah. @ :.
The Peru Chronicle says that one
day last week over 500 Mormons pass
ed through that place on their way to
Salt Lake City. We notice by the
kock island papers that about 800
passed there about the same time, des-
tined for the city Of abominations. -
The Outpost of Zion, at Cincinnati,
has been cleaned out by the citizens,
and will be shortly on its way to Salt
Lake City, several hundred strong
The Cleveland Plaindenlcr of recent
date, says that about $500 will leave
that city this spring for the same place.
This infatuated people have left AZ
ton, and torever--and what have our
citizens done towards enlightcninp
them, and causing them to abandon
their perllous enterprise? Nothing,
alas! This question is extremely ap-
pllcable to those of our good folks who
make themselves quite uncomfortable
about the negro and his "citizenship. "

Until Tread this exposition by Mar
shal Valiant, | was at loss to com,
prehend the operations of the allied
armies in the Crimca. From the bat
tie of Alma to the conclusion of peace
those armies constantly acted in viola :
ton Of military axiom, to disregard
which is almost always fatal. The
axiom is this Where there is an i'm
portant fortress to be attacked, and an
army in the field to be fought, the. ar
my should be fought and beaten out of
the field first; because the assailing
army, no matter how superior in nu.
merical force, if it attacks the fortress
first, may be so crippled as to fall an
easy prey to the army in the field.
The French, in the personnel of their
army, and in the appliances of their
artillery and ordinance, are greatly in
advance Of other nations; but the ex-
position Of Marshal Valiant shows
thatin all their administrative arrange
ments which relate to the movement
and supply of armies in the field, and
particularly in that which regards land
transportation, they are far behind US.
On eTamiaing their means Of trans-
PQrtation in tie Crimea, as givem 6y

that for force Of three huRdred and
nine thousand men they employed less
than haJ tile number Of animals, for
all purposes, during the a00r, which we

ceeded torty;fve housand men. We
were able to go where we pleased, and
to take all the appliances of war with
us. They, for the want Of the means
of transportation, were not able at any
time during the war to 60 twenty five
miles from their ships, and operate a
single week against the Russian army
in the field, without starving. Hence
they had no other alternative but to
invest Scbastopol, and short as were
the lines there, Marshal Valiant says
the place was never entirely invested,
but throughout the siege it received
| constant reinforcements Of men and
supplies from the Russian army with
out. Had the allies possessed proper
and sufficient means Of transportation,
they could have beaten their enemy out
of the Crimca, and then by closely
blockading Scbastopolby land and sea,
they could, without firing a gun, have
forced it to capitulate.
l hope our country may never have
occasion to go to war again; but the
more closely | look into the details, as
well as the strategic combinations of
European armies, the less / fear war.
Those armies have fair stock of pro-
fessional intelligence, but if they have
genius, [ think it is genius in its de-
crepitudc. ...*
