largest consumer Of cotton in Spain, yet owing to
several circumstances, there has been considera-

consumption of cotton at this place. in times of
peace, will amount to upwards of 100 900 bales a

An OUTRAGE AMONG THE MoRMoNs.-The Pennsy-
vana Inquirer has letter from Salt Lake City, in
which the writer complains bitterly of the treat
ment experienced by him among the Mormons. He
says that he is an Engshman by birth, and his wife
is also English. They came from their native land
about four years ago Mormons, and were mar
ried in Utah. But last March they withdrew from
the Church and started for the States, while the
snow was yet on the ground. Their team gave out
and died, and they were unable to get along In
this condition they were met by body of United
States troops, who provided them with wagon, in
which they returned to Salt Lake City. But since,
the head of the family has been insulted and out
ragged in every possible way, his offence being that
he is an apostate from the Church On a recent
occasion, several Mormons visited his house, beat
him in the severest manner, and threatened that il
they caught him out, they would take his life
Alarmed for his safety, he left the city, and pro
ceeded to the camp ofthe United States troops; ant
this, he adds is the way in which all are dealt with
who do not bow to Brigham Young and his associ
ates. The great institution of Mormonism at tht

The Senate to-day ratified number of treaties
with the Oregon and Washington Indians: also the

amending it by provision to the effect that those
who have not already presented their claims, may
do so before New Granada shall take final action
the subject.
The treaty provides for the settlement of all
claims against that Republic, including those prior
to the Panama riots. General Herran is here to
ask in return, provision for the settlement of all
questions in which New Granada is the claimant
among others, relating to the transit of mail mat
ter across the lsthmus, and tonnage tax. She has
proposed liberal terms for settling these in equity

Hsn, nehsss Q. S4tnshrop.

Tbs address feesnty delivered BY ibis dip
tingaIshed con Of Massachusetts,, before the
Young Mems Christian Association of Rich
mond, sketch of which was published at
the time in this journal, has produced an
impression among all who beard it not sur
passed by that of any grafton, even the great
Everett Grafton on Washington, which has
been delivered in this city for the last quar-
ter of century. We have never heard a
more unanimous and enthusiastic expression
of approval Of any public effort, including
the matter, the manner aud the spirit, be-
slowed upon any Grafton at any time. We
have never known men of all grades of in
tellect aud of various pursuits in life, and OF
different religious denominations, concurrng
with such unanimity and such energy in re-
gard TO the merits of any effort ever address
cd to a'Richmond audience.
But it was not to applaud the pre-emnent
powers of RoBEar G. WINTHROP as a speaker,
scholar and writer, that we took up the
pen. He is known to the whole country as
one of the 6rst intellects of America, as one
of the few of our public men who are edu-
Gated in anything but politics, as one who
uni,es the graces of scholarship to the pow
ers of the statesman, and who would shine
in any deliberative assemblage in the old or
new world. But we simply intended, on
this occasion, to express the cordial salts
faction which their intercourse with him
personally and socially has impaired to such
of our virginians as had the pleasure to
come in contact with him. 1t may not be
generally known that, since the delivery OF
! his Grafton, Mr.. WINTHROP has passed few
DAYS in one of the most agreeable OF our ' ir-
ginia country neighborhoods, where the rites
of hospitality are well understood, and the
smallest dog on a plantation knows a gen.
tlelpap by instinct. Every man who met
! Mr.. WINTHROP there was enraptured with
/ the man, quite as much as every man IN
Richmond was transported with the orator;
| He is said to be one of the most genial and
| whole-souled of gentlemen, none OF the Ice
berg about him, but as frank anc sunny In
his nature as if he had been born under the
most ardent Southern sun. Massachusetts
has reason to be proud of her noble son, but
not much to be proud of herself, that she
permits such a pyramid of intellectual and
moral greatness to remain in the vale OF pri-
vate life.
