By the latest dates from Utah it appears that
the Mormon priesthood, feeling that their infu.
ence is on the wane, have secluded themselves
hoping thereby to become more mysterious and
powerful. The feelings of the Mormons are ev-
identity undergoing change, but the leaders are
still hostile to the United States authorities, and
throw obstacles in their way. They are also
endeayoring to raise an Indian war. Many OF
the Mormon people are in wretched condition,
and some of the women are without proper
clothing.

The Atlantic Telegraph.


No message has been transmitted through the
Atlantic Telegraph cable since the 1st inst, and
fears are entertained that it has sustained some
irreparable injury. The operators at Trinity
Bay give no information on the subject. Late
steamers from Europe report that signals con-
tinued to be received at Valentia, but they were
too faint and uncertain to be ineligible. The
Liverpool Post says that experiments prove be
yond doubt that the defect arises from leakage
at distance OF two hundred and forty miles
from land. How this can be asoertained with
such exacttude is not stated. The explanation
is ridiculed by practical telegraphers in New
York as purely guess-work.
The London Times says that similar difficult
ty was understood to have occurred temporarily
short time back, and the hope is that the acoi-
dent is merely one of those to which the cable
must be liable until the necessary measures shall
have been completed for protecting the portion
near the shore Some disagreements between
the Electricians and the Board of Directors have
latterly existed, and these it may be presumed
tend to embarrass the general proceedings. Mr.
Whitshouse writes to the Times that he believes
the injury to the cable to be in the home end
which he had foreseen and had on occasion re-
paired. He apprehends that there is little cause
for anxiety, and thinks there is nothing in the
distractions calculated to damp the most san
guine hopes of ultimate and complete success.
Since the above was put in type intelligence
has been received from Trinity Bay that the
Telegraph Gable is all right again, and signals
passing freely from one end to the other.
Mr.. Field, however, states in published card
that as this information is not confirmed by Mr.
De sauty, who alone has full knowledge OF the
facts, he regards the statement as possibly pre-
mature.
1t is copjectured that the shore end OF the ca,
bic, at Valentia, must be taken up distance OF
several miles, which may occupy some weeks.
1t is not doubted that even two hundred. and NJ
ty miles could be raised if necessary.
A despatch from Mr.. De Sauty, on the oath,
says: have received nothing ineligible from
Valentia since the 1st of September, excepting
feeling of few signals yesterday. lcannot send
anything to Valentia. There has been very lit
tie variation in the electrical manifestations.
