WASHINGTON, March Z, 1S!

WASHINGTON, March Z, 1865.
Mr.. Bcrnheisel the Mormon delegate
received a large batch of official docu-
ments blythe last mail from Salt Lake.
Brigham informs Bernheisel in so ma
ny words that unless the army is with
drawn from their territory not one of
the men will ever return to the United
States alive. lie urges the United
States to send commission to Utah
to examine into the state of affairs at
present existing in their Territory
He alleges that all the reports circu-
lated in the States against them were
concocted by the vagabonds who were
sent out by former administrations to
govern them.
His letters breathe unrelenting war
unless the administration take his ad.
vice and withdraw the army from their
Territory. aa "'2 40
We learn from Washington that the
Secretary of War and the General-in-
Chiefare diligently engaged in arrang-
ing the spring campaign against the
Mormons. 1t has been decided not to
await the action of Congress upon the
various propositions for increasing the
military force, but to withdraw troops
from the frontier posts and concen-
trate them upon Utah. Orders in ac-
cordancc with this design have been
already issued. The call upon the
President for information as to wheth-
er the people of Utah are in rebellion
against the federal authorities has been
responded to. The documents howev-
er, contained nothing of Importance on
the subject that is not familiar to the
public. 1t is also stated that the Sec
rotary has decided to convene a court
at Washington for the purpose of try
ing Col. Sumner on charges preferred
against him by Gen Harvey.

THE PHILOSOPHERS IN THE WOODS.

A correspondent of the New GOrk Evening Post
from the Adirondack region says:
tOn Follensby Pond, a beautiful lake of three
miles IN circuit, is cncamped party of Boston
gentlemen, whose character and requirements have
given to their shanty the name of the Philosophers
Camp. knowing some of the gentlemen at the
camp, and being commissioned by Martin to carry
up some stores, paid them a visit, and found
the party consisted of Professor Agassiz, Ralph
Waldo Emerson, Professor Jeiliies Wyman, James
Russell Lowell, Mr.. Holiness Mr. Stillman Mr.
Binney. Mr.. Hoar, and DR.. Howe, with ten guides
headand overlooking the blue expanse of the
waters, and overhuug by the mountains, had been
selected for camp, and excellent spruce cover
ed shanty had been built for the visitors and tent
raised for the guides. \ fire, Of trunks Of trees
formed the beacon by night, and the pillar of cloud
by day, while an American ensign waved in sub
lime ostentation over the root. The camp was
permanent one, and its arrangements complete. A
butcherv, where deer and fish were cut up and the
otfal buried, kennel for the hounds landing for
boats, and a covered kitchen for preparing the din
ner. were portion Of its Accomplishments.
"Ihe habits OF the philosophers were as well ar
ranged AS their camp. At daybreak they all bathcd
in the lake, and then separated for the different
pursuits of the day. AgassiZ caught bugs and
water insects with an industry and enthusiasm that
astonishcs the guides, who more bent on getting
rid Of the insects than in securing them
Sam Dunning, one Of our guides, who saw him,
initiates his manner very successfully, running
around as if endeavoring to catch some imaginary
insect which he at last secures either in the air or
in his mop of hair, and then he pinchcs him
between his thumb nails, exclaims, A fine
specimen of a bOog-vere.' DR.. Wyman collects
specimens of the anatomy of the wild animals of
the district, and the distended stomachs of deer
may be seen, inflated with wind and tied up with
threads, between different trees, like huge spiders,
waiting to cntrap YOU. Holmes shoots and writes,
Emerson reads and watches Stillman fish, and when
the days amusements are ended, the supper dis
patched. and the whole party gathered around
the big fire. earnest in their talk and lively express
sion, it would not be amiss to affirm that such
cotere of minds is assembled at one hearthsdc from
the land of the chivalry to where 'the fisher bats
his angle and the hunter twangs his bow the lar
chen banks of the TenscOuta.' "
