Ags~ The National Intelligencer has an
account Of the recent movements in the
Society Islands, in favor Of annexation
to the United States, notice Of which has
already appeared in our columns, and says.
The American public will doubtless await
with breathless interest, the denouement OF
a transaction, which offers us what we have
SO long wanted, a magnificent 'coaing de-
pot in the heart of the Pacific. Whether
to secure this convenience it will be expo-
dent to "annex' the whole Society group,
may possibly raise doubt in the minds Of
a few not sufficiently imbued with adequate
ideas of American progress and expansion,
but the great national Importance Of this
Raiatea-Tahaan question can be doubted

AN AwfuL Mormon. "A good Mos-
mon story is cold by friend OF us now
travelling in the West, looking after the
commercial interests Of the house with
which he is connected, and who possess
ses a fund of sly wit, which is brought
admirably into play ON all fitting occa~
sions. While stopping short time since
at hotel IN Cleveland, Ohio, it happen
cd that the Marsh Children, a troupe Of
iuveniEe comedians familiar to us all,
numbering twenty-cight or thirty, ar
rived and put mp at the same house. Their
first appearance in the dining room ma.
surally attracted great attention, and
many were the inquiries rna.ie in refer
ence to them, who and what they were,
where, from and whittier going, &C..
&c. They occupied al entire table-all
under IL years Of age. dressed alike ans,
nearly all girls, with five or six middlel
aged females-ther teaohers-sprinklel
among them. At tie head Of the table
sat MIR. Marsh himself, grave, solemn and
digni6ed in manner, q sort Of Alexan-
der Selkirk i'll a small way, monarch Of
all he surveyed. At the table and by
the side of Mr. Qniz, sat two OF three
gentlemen somewhat rural in aspect who
were evidently good deal mystified by
the appearance Of things, and on putting
the question Of what it meant, they were
informed that the grave personHge at the
head of the table was u delegate from
Brigham Young, prominent and noted
Mormon, on his way to Washington, to
settle with TIE Pr esi1ent the difficulties
in Utah, AMI the elderly ladies present
were his six wives, and the thirty child
rem were portion of his progeny. The
thing took. The 'rurals" after taking
good hook at Marsh, then at the family
arrangements, retired, and all toe house,
as well as the town itself, was soon in
conlnotion, all eager to hook upon atrre
prophet aad his harcln.
Amazing smart children for the kind

claims Miss Prim. What al old wretch,
responds whole troupe Of Cleveland
ladies, as they would gaze and stare at
the Utah saint with all their eyce. The
children at last became alarnea-thoir
teachers next, ard March was quite be-
side himself, not knowing wheather to
look upon these attentions as favorable
to his success, or Pretending somewhat
of moro serious mature. The matter
finally exploled,and there wasa general
scattering with the gigsling accompaai-
n1ent by ladies', and hearty outlaws on
the part Of the men who were sold. Mr..
Marsh determined 10 show his card--or-
dered his bills TO he Immediately postal,
