LIFE AT SALT LAKE ClrY.-A correspondent
of the New York Herald, writing from Salt Lake
under date of August 18th, says that "poor
Brigham Young" is in sad dilemma, not know.
ing which horn to take. He does not know
whether to remain in Utah, or to flee to Sonora
or Nicaragua. He has had since early last
spring thirty span of fine mules, in fine condii.
tiop, with suitable number of light ambulan.
ces, and other things requisite for rapid flight
from the territory, if en- emergency should arise
making it important for>him to flee from the
territory or into the almost impenetrable fastness
of the mountains.
On the 9th grand procession of the citizens
of Salt Lake was formed on East Temple street,
headed by Governor Cumming. The party early
in the day proceeded to Big Cottonwood cannon,
where preparations were to be made for grand
picnic party to be given by Governor Cumming.
Brigham Young was not in the procession when
it was formed, nor was he seen upon the street,
but it was said he would Join the procession be-
fore they reached their destination. Not sim
gle Gentle, except his Excellency the Governor,
graced or disgraced the procession, who, 1t WAS
reported, was to be baptised.
The peace and quietude of Zion was disturbed
on the 18th by street fight near the Salt Lake
House. The pugilistic parties were the notorl.
Gus Tom Williams and Ma jor General Geo. ID.
Grant, of the Nauvoo Legion. Afttr the parties
met in collision, they were quickly surrounded
by crowd, who endeavored to separate them,
but were unable to accomplish their purpose be.
fore the Generals face and ribs were pounded
into Jelly Thus the afray ended. They are
both men Of prominence in their respective par
ties and have many friends. One is Mormon,
the other nm ex.Mormon. Whether anything
serious will grow out Of it Of course cannot Of
present be known.
Tns BURIAL pLacE.--What O multitude OF
thoughts crowd upon the mind In the conten'
plation Of such scene How much OF the fi'
lure. even in its far distant reaches, riaes before
us with all it's persnasiYa realities Take. but
one little narraS space of time, and how affect:
ine are its associations! Within the flight OF
one-half century, how many Of the great, the
good and the wise, will be gathered here How
mary, in the lovcliness of infancy, the beauty
of youth, the ygor of manhood, and the matu-
rity of age, will lie down here, and dwell in the
bosom Of their mother earth! The rich and
the poor, the gay and the wretched, the favo-
rites of thousands, and the for>aken OF the
world; tile stranger in his solitary grave, and
the patriarch, surrounded by the kindred Of a
long lineage! How many will here bury their
brightest hopes or blasted expectations! How
many bitter tears will here be shed How
many agonizng sghs will herebe heared How
many trembling feet will cross the pathways,
and, returning, leave behind them the dearest Z
objects of their reverence or love- Ert'eu.

Out of Jail.

Five Of the prisoners confined in the
county Jail in this village broke out and
made their escape on Friday evening Of
last week, and have left for parts un-
known Although large reward has
been offered and considerable search made,
up to this time, none of them have been
arrested.
Our neighbor of the Free Press we OBJ
serve, true to his instincts, lets off in ref
erence to it, about his usual amount Of
stale blackguardism and stereotype cant
phrases with liberal use of niggerism by
way of condiment, which he has learned
q .cond-handed from some of his late choice
correspondents The whole article smacks
strong of whiskey and corresponds so
closely with certain epistle, got up in
one Of our low pot houses, and sent to one
of our citizens few weeks since, that we
guess it derives its paternity, if it had
any, from the same source. Some Of its
contradictions and Inconsistencies We shall
notice before we get through.
The facts in the case are these: The
Jail, as most Of our readers are aware. is
constructed Of rood, two stories high, with
the cells for prisoners located ON the
ground floor. The cells are arranged in
two tiers, one upon each side of the build
ing, with hall between. The custom has
been heretofore, to let the prisoners loose
in tie hall during the day, locked in, and
confinc them at night in their respective
cells and shacklc them to the floor. Al
the time Of their escape, Mr.. Gliddeu
the under sheriff aad jailor, was absent on
hi, ofhcial business in the west part o.
the county, and before lie left home, hac
engaged Constable Palmer 10 come III a
nine o'clock in the evening and put the
prisoners in the cells and iron them down
Mr. Palmer says he went in at 20 min
ntcs before nine and found fee of then
sone-j5pt only remaining in the jail,
<On an examination Of the jail it was found
that the escape had been effected by rails
