FARTHER POINT, August 18.-The steamer Bohe-

arrived.

There is 10 news of importance to note since
the sailing of the Edinburgh and Bremen.
The English journals canvass the possibility of
troubles the blockade question.
The steamer Edinburgh sailed for New York with
$4,000 Sterling, in specie. The steamer Bremen
has 81, 800 also, for New York.
The London Times has another article Ameri
can affairs, which is bitterly sarcastic the Battle
of Bull Run. The editor says there must arise
gathering doubt that the Southern nut is too hard
to crack, and that the military line, as matter of
business, don't answer
The same article ridicues and laughs at the
threats of prominent New y ork Journals against
England, and fears that the question of the block
ade may involve England in some difficult compli.
cation. The Times remarks that there is little
cloud which, although only as large as mans
hand, may come to Overshadow the whole sky.
On the last day of the session of Parliament,
Lord Palmerston stated his views on the question
of the blockade. He said, in effect, that if the
bockading force should allow one ship to enter
blockaded port by payment Of duties that mo-
ment the blockade is raised
belligerent may seal up port, but if he lets
one vessel in his right is gone. 1t follows, there

a ship to pass bIockadad port, upon payment of
customs, the blockade will be at an end.
An anonymous advertisement appears in the
Liverpool Post for shilling subscriptions for a test-
monial to Beauregard for his skilful generalship.
The London Herald says that a report has been
received that Napoleon, the receipt of the in
tegence of the defeat of the Northern army, de-

suance OF this authority, circulars have been sent
out tn all of the States and countless soliciting such

most gratifying. The aggregate already swells to
many millions OF dollars, and the work is scarcely
entered upon in several of the States.
The cotton interests are especially lavish in their
offers. In many cases the whole crop is pledged,
am generally onethird one half is offered. Sew
eral planters have subscribed 900 bales and one
gentleman Judge Griffin, of Washington county,
tenders the proceeds of 900 bales, the value
OF which would be $l20, 900. Thus, with our peO-

GENERAL BEAUREGARD.

The Richmond correspondent of the New York
Tribune, speaking of the guerrilla character of the
Southern army, thus refers to Beauregard:
He, more than any other Southern general, seems
to excel in the handling of these peculiar elements
of Southern troops; dashing little Creole, stand
ing thoroughly upon his dignity with strangers
and equals, be has the knack of ingratiating him
self with the soldiers, by the mingled simplicity,
naturalness and impetuosity of his manner. He
impresses one rather as a soldier of action and sa-
gacity, than of great and comprehensive mind as
man of thought and intellect he seems to be infe-
rior to Johnston, but he blends Southern fire with
Northern smartness; his features are mobile; his
eye sparkling; his motions denote restless activity;
while his countenance indicates steady composu e.
He has the cooness of Yankee, and the impulsive-
of Creole, and looks like a cross between the
two. He was lucky at Sumter and lucky at Bull
Run He has the advantage of this prestige of sue
cess, and the little is the idol of the soldiers
and the hero of the South

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

The Bangor Mob.
The editor of the Democrat, au account of the
destruction of which paper has been published in
columns, in his address to the people of Maine,
says:
Thus hath the freedom of the press been stricken
down here in Maine, not from any patriotic i'm
pulse, but through the wicked instigation of band
of abandoned politicians who would willingly SUBJ
vert ali law and all order for the maintenance of
mere party dogma.
Though anarchy seems to be coming down upon
our unhappy country like night, yet do not des-
pair | still believe that there is yet virtue and
intelligence enough ia the people to maintain their
liberties and protect free press, which is their
best guardian.
By this act of mob violence, my all, the result of
four years OF unremiting toll, has been swept away;
but l still have health, strength and youth, and
a heart also to struggle on in defence of the peo
ple's rights.

Judge Mason, in his address accepting the Dem.

The remedies best adapted to the curing or pre-
venting disease either national or individual,
are those which are most in harmony with the law
of the patients existence. Were our Government
formed in blood and violence, might nationally
resort solely to the principles for its preserya
tion. But as the Union was the result of compro.
mise and consent, how can it be restored or pre-
served by violence, which is radical departure
from the fundamental laws of its being?

A FRENCHMAN's ACCOUNT OF UTAH.-A French
gentleman, NJ. Jules Remy, has published in Paris,
account, in two volumes, of journey from
California to Great Salt Lake City, and residence
of some weeks among the Mormons. He appears
to have travelled for scientific purposes, and to
tsfy his curiosity about people of whom even we
Americans know but little. From an exhaustive
English review of his work we gather that he was
much pleased with the industry and sobriety Of the
Mormon population, and needed very little persua
sion to join himself to the Society of Latt Day
Saints at Deseret. On the subject of Mormon
wives, NJ. Remy gives some curious details:
ga first wife who should refuse permission to her
husband to take second is condemned by the law,
because she has not done as Sarah did when she
gave Hagar to Abraham, and as Rachel and Leah
did when they gave Bella and Xelpha to Jacob
The husband has portion of the house to himself,
the wives live all together just is pracsed in the
East, The first married enjoys a certain ascen-
dency over the others. Saints who can afford it
live in separate house from their wives. third
system obtains of each wife having a separate
house, and the husband boards and lodges in each
alternately for twenty four hours. The wives must
look upon one another as sisters and the children
call all, except their own mothers, aunt. They
are distinguished sometimes by their Christian
names, as Mrs. Mary Angel, Mrs. Jane Angel, and
so on; but the president numbers his, Mrs Young
No. l, Mrs. Young No. 2, and so on; no doubt to
assist his memory.
"When wife has conceived, the husband is dis
pensed from all marital duties towards her. The
Mormons have singularly reduced the limits OF
relationship within which marriage is forbidden
among Christians. Thus one man will wed all the
daughters of the same father and mother. Others
have married mother and daughter. A certain
Watt married his half-sister."
A census taken in 1858, during the campaign
against the Mormons, determined the existence OF
3,6l7 polygamists in Utah, thus divided:
Husbands having wives and upwards .......... Ss7
Husbands having wives 7SC
Husbands having wives III Joe
Husbands having than wife and less than A. 400
Little is, however, to be deduced from these sta
tistics, as the Mormnns have by no means as many
First, their want of means, although some do moi
scruple to marry to make their wives work
Secondly, from want of women, hence their repre-
sented missions this country; and lastly, because
it is not, luckily, every woman who elects to be
! Mormon polygamist's wife.
