ST.. Louis, May 2-The Salt Lake correspondent
of the Republican Of this city, under date of the Sth

passed by the late Legislature, it being complete
breastwork to the punishment of any crime that
may be committed by the Mormons

occupied in walking, standing, sitting, talking
the same things that they had done on every
day and evening of their sojourn in Saratoga.
They respected public opinion too much to
dance, and were too fashionable to sing hymns,
so we left them to their gossip, and went down

praying. This expression of gracious state
still lives in this great centre Of society, and

forth, inviting to rest and enjoying the silences
of night. We did not talk, but paced quietly
along in the sweetest sympathy of soul with
the scenes around US. Standing where the

and IN tones beautifully clear and silvery re-
cited the hymn,

VALUABLE REcrPE.-The Petersburg Latelli-
gencer says the following recipe, now for the
first time made public, may be relied upon as
spe ci6c for the bog cholera. 1t had been full
ly tried and tested on the hogs of gentleman
Of Amherst, Va. The remedy was given in all
the varied stages of the disease, and uniformly
cured in every case. 1t will not be impossible,
after all the fruitless efforts hitherto made, to
find out remedy for Asiatic cholera, that this
one, accidentiy suggested by young lady to
her father in Amherst, Va, and which was suo-
cessful in curing the hogs, may be equally so
in curing man Of that terrible disease
cholera.
RecPe.-Beat up an ounce or more of as.
safntida, and add say to an ounce pint of
whisky, or other kind Of spirits, and give to the
hog two tablespoonsfull; it produces an imme-
date relief, and speedy and permanent cure.

sion, and although the provisions for the
most part are in such state as to render
them very unwecome to ordinary tastes, we
are assured that the Russian soldiery evinced
no repugnance against some particularly
rancid butter which was brought up by one
of the explosions. The information which
we have received represents the state of
things about three months ago, since which
great progress has in all probability been
made In about six months hence, all those
vessels which are worth floating will be once
more riding at their anchors, and the rest
will have been removed from the fairway of
the harbor by the potent aid Of gunpowder
and the electric spark.
The nucleus of Black Sea fleet being thus
on the road to restoration, it becomes an in.
teresting fact, that whether in Russia, Eng
land or America, above five hundred vessels
are in course of construction for the Russian
Government. Of course, neither those nor
the recovered section of the Black Sea fleet
are to be armed. The treaty of Paris point
ed out to Russia that her proper mission in
the Black Sea is commercial, and CONNER
cal she will be until it suits her to be other
wise. For the sake of commerce she will
cover these waters with steamers and sailing
vessels, ostensibly for the purpose of the vast
carrying tyoda to Constantinople, Trebizond,
and the coas. Of Mingreia, Bulgaria, Wala-
CHA, Bessarabia and the shores Of the Sea of
Azoff; but all of which can be readily armed
at Ncolaief For the sake Of commerce,
she will repair Sebastopol, and surround it
with terraces and embankments, ornamental
in their character but not the less corverti
be into fortitcations if so required. For the
sake of commerce, the docks will be repaired
and instead Of Mr.. Upton's costly and i'm
perfect plan for flooding them with the Tcher
maya, modern improvements will be adopted
for floating the required level. None under
stand as well as the Russians how to take
lessen from their enemies, and if ever it shall
be our lot to sit down again before Sebasto
pol, we shall find its capture none the easier
for the experiences of last siege. We shall
find that the wave has receded but to return
with redoubled force, and that we in return
for the blood and the millions which we have
spent have gained precisely nothing.

Climate of California,

In AN article in the December number OF
Ilutchings' Magazine, by John s. Elittell,
upon the climate of California, the writer
says:
"a railroad about one hundred ard eighty
miles lorg, running earl y due east from
Oakland, through Stockton and Sonora, and
near the Mammoth Grove of Mariposa and
the Yosemite Valley to the summit of the
Sierra Nevada, would enable the people near
the line to place themselves, every summers
day, in any to'erable degree of either heat
or cold. Eighteen miles west of Oakland
lies the beach of the Pacific, where chill
breeze blows without ceasng; and, going east
ward, the traveller wou'd gradually get into
warmer climate. until in Stockton he would
find the thermometer at 100 degrees most
of the summer moons; and, going still fur
ther, he would gradually rise into the almost
freezing comb Of the Sierra. A branch road
running southwark to Fort Yuma, would
enable the traveller to enjoy almost as great
a variety of climate, in winters day, as
could be found in the other during summer"
