THE PRopos1IoN TO Buy OUT TIE Mon
MONS Ns-lIow THEY TAKE Ir-A correspond.
ent Of the San Francisco Alta writing from
Salt Lake makes the following remarks in
reference to the proposition to buy out the
Mormons:
The bill "to appoint Commissioners for
the purpose of purchasing the interests Of
the Mormons," seems to meet but little ap-
proval from the Saints. The idea among
the American portion is scotled at They
say they would die rather than sell their
hrth-right; they know no ONE but the land
of their birth, and, although MS5%S%' S5!s', are sI
though claiming this as their Zion and home,
have not naturally so strong an affinity, and
would go any where they might he led.
To persons acquainted with this Territory
it might be supposed tha. the city of Great
Salt Lake comprised all Of Mormondom, and
that it would be no hard matter for the
Mormon community to sell out and remove.
will give you brief account of tho Nor
mons in Eastern Utah:
There are some sixty-three cities, towns
and settlements, all well built, and lands ad
joining. under good cultivation. occupying
an extent of country Of three hundred and
forty miles north and south, and new settle
ments making in tho direction of east and
west. Mills propelled by both steam and
water power; mines Of iron, copper, lead and
coal, have been opened and worked; canals
are being dug for inland commerce, and a
railroad for for.y-four miles surveyed off,,
and soon will be in the course of construc-
ton. Churches and school houses meet you
on every side, and n every settlement is a
village graveyard. The taxable property in
the Territory amounts to about fity-seven
millions of dollars. and constantly increas-
ing. Now how absurd is the idea to buy
ou. such people. | am Of opinion that
they would lay all their settlements and i'm
provemcnts in ruins, and would restore eve
ry:hing to its primitive state, if driven to
desperation, or required; but no such thing
as purchase them out" is in the vocabulary
Of Brigham Young. You may prohibit po-
lygamy by statutory provisions, but the law
canuot he administered. You may talk
about purchasing them out, hut it would be
much easier to purchase Cuba.

Yet many charms has the Spanish maiden

her free, erect carriage, and graceful gazele-

ANOTHER DEAD SEA.

Awriter in the Union (Cal.) Democrat gives a
verJinteresting description of Mono Lake, which
has ecently engrossed public attention, from the
facbf the discovery Of deposits Oh gold in the
neiqborhood. He says:
Noro Lake is more literally "dead sea- than
theea Of Sodom. According to DR. Clarke, that
'seswarms with fishes, and shells abound on its
shols" Mono Lake has neither. The extreme
lensh and breadth Of the Dead Sea, according to
Melit, are IS by 16 miles, giving superficial
areaf 600 square miles. The river Jordan and
Arm, and the brook Kedron, besides many rivulets
empf into the Dead Sea.
LIP Mono Lake McLane's river falls from the
Mort, and Crosbys river from the South, and
three arge brooks or creeks fall into it from the
Wst, besides numerous rvulets and springs all
ardnd its borders. But this Lake not only
rqonds to the Greek epithet n,ouos as being
conc, solitary, deserted, for< aken," but it also
arlycrs to the same adjective as explained in the
Sanish as being "pretty, nice, neat"
This Lake takes as many shapes as the points
dier from which you view it. From the vest
sic, about ten miles from its northern limit, it
anears like beautiful crescent, its horns curving
ddcately around you on the right and left. From
thi North it appears to be nearly circular, like the
ful moon, the islands in its waters strikingly
re rcsenting the clouded spots on that planet
Firm the East it appears to have 10 particular
shPe, but it stretches off irregularly among the
Hhere is little or no echo around this lake,
lnd indeed it is difficult to understand person
taIing at little distance. A dreamy spell-like
split seems to pervade the atmosphere. The
m'oth, CLASSY surface of the waters the upheaved,
disputed, volcanic mountains surrounding the
ale, looking down, as it were into this abyss of
heir election; the illusion of vision, and the
ylitened shores, thickly columned in many places
With vascular lava which looks like monuments
reced to the ''mighty dead all conspire to
impress the mind with the idea Of fictitious scene,
by the pencil of an omnipotent hand.
