The MoRMoNs.-A letter rs published in a New York
paper, from Great Salt Lake City, dated Oct. Sth,
from which we learn that on the 9th of October,
the ''Saints opened their semi-annual Confer
ence, which lasted two days, and attended by
the most prominent members Of the church. On
the second day Elder Orson Hyde delivered a
lengthy DISCOURSE and gave his views on the pre-
sent political condition of the United States. He
predicted that the Union would be dissolved; that
the negroes would be let loose upon their masters
that the South would be compelled to call in the
aid of Great Britain, who, in her turn, would be
compelled to call in aid from other quarter,
and concluded by prophesying great and terrible
day of wrath for this country for their injustice to
the Mormous. The Conference was the largest
ever held in the city, some thirteen thousand per-
sons having attended it. Judge Kinney and Mr..
Rogers, the Indian agent, had arrived at Salt Lake
City.

Gov. Letcher visited this city in connection with

of deriding Christianity" "We most earnestly
