The Remains Of President Monroe.
At dawn on Friday last, the I'd day of Ju-
ly, the mortal remains of James Monroe, fifth
President of the United States, which for
tw~enty-seven years had rested in one of the
Cemeteries in New York City, beneath a
simple stone, were quietly disinterred, and
taken to the Church of the Annunciation in
l4th Street, prior to their removal to Virgin
ia, his native State. The removal of the re-
mains to the Cemetery in Richmond, Va,
was in the consequence of the action of the
Virginia Legislature last winter, making an
appropriation for the purpose and committing
to the Governor of the State the task of hav-
ing this interesting and solemn duty proper
ly performed.
The ceremonies in New York City were
solemn and imposing, and the speeches were
eloquent, and replete with interesting remin-
i~scences of the great statesman's public and
private life. The Hon. John Cochrane, of
New York, delivered the speech committing
the remains to the hands of the deputation
of Virginians, on board the Virginia steam
er jamestown and he was replied to in be-
half of the Virginians and of State, by O.
Jennings Wise, Esq, one the Editors Of the
Enquirer.
The remains were received at Richmond on
Monday 9TH inst. Gov. Wise delivered one
of his most eloquent speeches on the occasion
1t was a day long to be remembered by the
people of Richmond and by all Virginians.
LATE AND INTERESTING FROM UTAH-MOvE-
MENTs OF TRooPs.-Further Utah news is re-
ceived by the arrival of the Salt Lake mail to
the 18th ult., at st. Joseph's, Mo. Gen.
johnson was to start for Salt Lake City on
the 18th of June, with three thousand men i'll
column. Col. Hoffman and Capt. Marcy had
both arrived at Camp Scott. A diversity Of
opinion existed at the camp as to the course
the Mormons would pursue in regard to the
troops entering the valley. They have not
gone either to Sonora or to the Russian pos
sessions, but have, it is now ascertained with
certainty, merely moved their families to Pro
70. 1t is notknown whether Brigham Young
accompanied them or remained in the city.
Commissioners McCulloch and Powell had
started for the city, in company with Gov.
/ Cumming and Postmaster Morrell. Col.
, Hartnett, Secretary of the Territory, left
Camp Scott on the 10th inst, for Salt Lake
City.
The mail party passed about three hundred
Mormons, with horses and mules, well armed,
but they would give no information where
they were going or what they intended doing.
Fifty Mormons had escaped from the valley,
but were met at Platte BRYCE, vending their
way towards the States.
The NORTH CAROLINA PLANTER.-The above
valuable Agricultural work for July is on oul
table. but so improved in appearance that We
scarcely recognise it. This betokens success
and we are pleased to see it, for if there is a
publication in this State deserving patronage
it is the North Carolina Planter. 1t should
be encouraged by every farmer in the State
and even to those who are not regular tillerS
of the soil, it is a book worth double the sub
s~cription price. The number before us is &
very good one, and if there is a farmer in the
: State who wouldn't give one dollar for twelve
r Just like it, with all the valuable information
they contain, then he ought to have bad crops
