IRREGULARITIES OF THE Moons SURFACE AND AT
MosPHERE-t is now a generally received theory in
astronomy that as the moons axis is nearly perpen-
dieuar TO the plane Of the eciptie she can scarcely
have any change Of seasons. But what is still more
remarkable onehalf Of the moon has no darkness at
ALL while the other half has two weeks of light and
two Of darkness alternately; the inhabitants, il any
of the first half hask constantly in earthshine with
ont seeing the sun whilst those of the latter never
see the earth at all for the earth reflects the light OF
the sun to the moon in the manner as the moon
does to the earth therefore, at the time OF c0niunc-
ton, or new moon, her further side must be enlight
ened by the sun aud the nearer half by the earth
and at the time of opposition, or full mnon onehalf
Of her will be enlightened by the sun, but tile other
half in total darkness.
To the lQminares the earth must seem the largest
orb IN the universe for it appears them more than
three times the size OF the sun aud thirteen times
greater than the moon does to us--eXhhitng similar
phases to herself, but in reverse order for when
the moou is full the earth is invisible to them and
when the moon is new they will see the earth fun.
The face of the moon appears to permanent but to
them the earth presents very different appearances I;

The St, Louis Republican Of the 9TH inst. publishes
the following intelligence received by BIZ. Conner,
bearer of the mail between Salt Lake and ST. Joseph
The Peace Commissioners reached Salt Lake City
about the 10th June but report had been heard Of
their reception or proceeding. Gen Johnston moved
from Camp Scott for Salt Lake City on the 18th in
three divisions of 900 men EACH the first taking up
its line Of march on the 18TH the second on the 18TH
and the third on the 18th
Col. Hoffman had arrived with men and animals in
fine condition, and accompanied General Johnston to
Salt Lake City. Capt. Marcy bad also arrived from
New Mexico with 1900 mules, Thus, well furnished
with meats and means OF transportation, the reeupe-
rated and relieved troops marched with renewed
spirit, and with feeling of ability to whip all the
MOrmons in the valley, The mail party met Colonel
Morrison with seven hundred men, and Capt. Bmgg's
battery, where the road first strikes the Little Blue
and at the Pawnee Fork they found Gen. Harvey and
Col. May, with more than a thousand men enCamped,
all in fine health.
War parties in the Sioux in search of the Grows
with whom they are at warfare were frequently en-.
c0untered, but they eyinced no anmosity to the
mail party. Millions of buffalo, blocking up the
highwayso as to delay the mail were found feeding
upon the ld&urant grasses Of the pains while deer
aud antelopes were more numerous than ever seen
before.
The North aud South Platte were very high and
on the rise from the melting SHOWS and rains in the
mountains.
Near the Big Sandy Mr.. Common met three hundred
Mormons, well mounted and thoroughly armed. and
