A plaeerville correspondent Of the Union

flaeerNllle correspondent ol the CHtV"
writes as follows:
r. G. Slater, young man who came from
Carthage, Illinois, this season, relates the fol-
lowing Interesting occurrences which trans,
pired during his soiourn amongst the Nor
mons. From his statement it is plainly in
ferrable that the Saints are long way from
being entirely satisfied the present arrange
ment of their affairs When young Sleater
arrived Mt Salt Lake City, he found it entire
ly evacuated; and, as he had an uncle who
was Mormon, he determined to proceed to
the town cf Provo, where he had the good
fortune to find his sanity relative At Provo,
Sleater remained two or three weeks, during
which time Gov. Cumming made his first ap-
pearance in the settlement. Some time in
July last, Cumming called n mass meeting
of the citizens of Provo, for the purpose of
publicly announcing the object of his mission.
Pending the Governors ,ddress feeling of
intense hatred toward both the speaker and
his government was manifested by the Nor
mons They were boisterous and insulting
in their manner, and frequently assailed him
with bitter invectives and backguard cpl
thes They denounced him as a liar. and
seornfully hooted at his pacific propositions.
After Cumming retired from the stand sew
eral of the apostles mounted the rostrum
and harangued the multitude in a series OF in
hammutory speeches. The most notable of
these improinptu declaimers were lleber Z
| Kimhal, w. G.. Mills and j. c. Taylor. The
latter individual was clamorous in his denun-
ciation of the United tates and its officers.
After completely eXhausting his vocabulary
of vulgar expletives he concluded hy for
midaIe declaration ofindepend ance "Breth
/ - 1 l. l., f,p
we are now free from the calling yoke Of
Uncle Sam, and by the help ofGod, we shall
remain so" This patriotic peroration called
forth the most vehement cheering from the
"sainted beholdels."
Brigham Young was called for and also
made speech, but was remarkably temper
ate, both in manner and language, and con
cluded ly stating to his followers that il any
of them desired to avail themselves of the
opportunity of leaving the Valley under
United States protection, they were entirely
at liberty to do so. This latter proposition
was the signal for n grand rush amongst
the disaffected, and, as an evidence of their
eagerness to be emancipated, in an incredibly
short period about 1900 of them registered
their names for the other side of Jordan"
Sleater. being quite youth, and having
| kinsman among the Mormons, had fine op
portunity of learning what th,y really think
Of the arrangements which have recently
been effected by the Governa ent From
his uncle, and Others, he ascertoined that the
Saints secretly entertain the bitterest hatred
towards the troops, although they apparently
manifest a diffrrnnt sentiment They are
deeply dissatisfied with the presence OF an
armed force in their midst, and will not be
contented until it is removed Moreover,
they are determined that as soon as the
troops shall be withdrawn to set the law and
the authorities at defiance, and do as they
please.

Donation YIaIt.

Our readers will see by reference to no
tiee in this mornings issue that a donation
visit will be given to Rev. J. A. Bruner, Pas
tor of the NJ. Z. Church in this city, Friday
evening Of this week, and as many Of our
readers may not fully understand all the cir
cumstances connected with this enterprise,
we take the liberty Of saying few things,
which We hope will aid and encourage so
praiseworthy an object. The economy of the
Methodist Church, in the main is different
from most other denominations of Christians
inraising money to support the ministry. 1t,

with the members as we'll as those who are
not members, to give what their circumstan-
ces and their ,ciH may dictate, and it is not
unfrequently the case that the amount con-
tributed in this way falls short of meeting
The amount to be raised Whether this is,
or is not the most judicous system Of raising
funds for the support of the gospel, we will
not stop to inquire. We wish simply to call
the attention of our citizens to the case in
manu-. AHc iuelnOSTs Vi Tue hlSLlOulSV CHuTCil
N this city have contributed largely and
willingly to the support of their minister, and
yet there is deficiency of several hundred
dollars, to pay their Pastor what they feel is
Justly his due, and to meet this deficiency
they ask contribution from those who feel
an interest in the cause of religion in our
midst and although it is an actual debt they
owe, and which they feel they are wholly
bound to pay, yet, they present it in the form
of a donation, thinking thereby that more
interest would be manifested than were it
otherwise. And in order that it may be
really donation we hope that there will be
contributed on the occasion enough to cover
the debt and handsome surplns for a dona-
tion. And let the contribution be in cash,
as five dollars in cash is worth ten in any
country where presents are injudiciously Sc
lected, for no one knows the wants of an
other as well as the person himself We
hope our business men will respond to this
call, and that the pleasures of next Friday
evening at the Parsonage may be such us will
be long remembered by all who may be

Gen Winfield Scott, who is now stop
ping at West Point met with a severe ac-
cident last week, which may confne him
to his bed for some time. He was about
attending dinner party given by Col.
Delafeld, when, on going down stairs, his
foot slipped, and he fell to the bottom
Owing to the bullet in his shoulder and a
sword wound in his arm, he was unable
to arrest his fight, and the fall was severe.
To person of his advanced years and large
frame, this is most serious affair. the gen.
eral was taken to his bed, cupped and
leeched, and though he feels better, is still
suffering intense pain. This accident
to the old General will be generally regret
ted throughout the country.--N Y Herald.

duct the canvass. A letter from ex Gov

The acceptance of all the candidates was
then received. A large number of
prominent Republican politicians are
present. but there is no talk of fusion.
