TIE MORMON ExODUs.-It seems quite well
settled that the Prophet Brigham is with his
flocks, and herds, and harems, on his way to
Mex CO. There is one circumstance, however,
which seems to have escaped notice. 1t does
not appear that the Mexicans have been con-
suited about the matter, and they may not re-
lish this accession to their population, and the
Mormobs may have to fight for their new
BONES. So Young may yet have use for his
Destroying Angels" in war for Zion. The
Mexican troops, however, are not of the same
material as General Johnstop's command, and
the Morpons could manage them. The great
trouble would be with the priests, who would
strongly resist any attempt to get up new
faith in what they consider their own preserve.
The Mormons have still severe trials before
them.

SoFT HATs-Nathaniel P. Willis, prince Of
cexcOmbs at fifty, as he was the poet laureate
of boarding-schools Mt twenty five, has pro-
nopnced his edict against soft hats and shawls.
His opinion is of weight, for his taste in, mat
tiers Of dress, hair dressing, -perfamery, &C., is
exquisite. His natural vocation is to descant
upon ribbons, and in first class fashionable
millinery, his services as salesman would be
worth large salary. He says:
A man may be blamed for wearing a soft hat
"a "Kossuth," MS it was once called-because,
neither custom nor fashion having rendered it
''becoming," it necessarily rests on its own
shapeless merits, and is no moro nor less than
untidy, rowdyish, loaferish. It's entirely in-
congruous to gentleman's costume. 1t nssim-
Hates to nothing but a seedy coat, patched pan
falcons, and browny black shoes with the toes
out 1t is Indicative of nothing but lazy dis
regard of the fitness of things which luxuriates
in whatever needs no brushing, cam the put
out of shape, is Indifferent to rain, and may be
slept IN without damage. In short. soft hat
is to gentleman precisely what "a gentleman's
hat is to q beggar:it contrd,ticts ali his other
garments. The thing may be tolerated in the
woods, or IN the evening, or at any time and
place where it cannot 10 seen; but whersoever
ladies and gentlemen are wont to congreeate. it
10 little better than an obtrusve affection or de-
monstration ofrowdyism.
