A STARTLING WORK.

That "one half Of the world cauno lima gine how the
other half lve," Is less true than trite and the les
the adsge Affords our experience and observation
daily tends to verify Then too, when we consider the
varying phases OF human passion and the discor
dant elements which all novel and fanatcal sects
moulded, II scarcely seem surprising that q
faithful record OF actual events should exceed In sngu
arty the widest dream Of romance; that crimes,
both strange and unnaura shoul1 be perpetrated r
far OF country, the outskirts Of civilization which
people In another state Of society would never Imagine
possible. Knowing do know, the evils and horrors
and denominations of the mormon system, the degreda
tion 1t imposes females and the consequent vices
which extend through all the ramicatons OF society
Of duty to the world has induced TO prepare
the following narrative for the public eye The tic
incidence connected with my experience, many may
think bordering on the marvellous. To them would
say that this narrative Of my life only proves what has
so often been proved before that Truth is Stranger
than Fiction. ."-AuHOrs Preface.

SPEECHES, LECTURES AND LETTERS, by
Wendell Phillips. Published in Boston by
James Redpath, No 22I Washington street.
This handsome octave volume contains a
careful selection from the many speeches
and other productions of Mr.. Phillips, be-
ginning with his speech in Faneuil Hall,
December 8th, 1887, at the meeting occa-
stoned by the murder of Lovejoy, at Alton,
Illinois, That speech, if not the first he ever
made, was the first that drew general atten-
ton TO his power as an orator. Itwas made in
reply to bad and bitter speech of Hon.
James I. Austin, and most effective and
overwhelming reply it was. Those who do
not in all things agree with Mr.. Phillips know
very well that he is one of the most eloquent
and accomplished men of the time. His
great speeches, so eloquent when delivered,
are very attractive when printed. He has the
ear of the country now, and gets printed even
in the New York Herald. This volume is not
for sale at the bookstores. 1t is sold by agents
Mr.. Locke, the agent for this county, is now
here supplying subscribers. Those who wish
to get copy of the book can find him or hear
of him at Sanford's bookstore.

The progress of Gen. Gilmore up Morris
island and the presence of our war fleet at the
mouth OF the harhor, have filled Charleston
with well-grounded ALARM The women, chill
dren and old men have been warned that tenn
porary exile may alone save them, ana the
combatant population boast of their intention
to hold the city or destroy it. The latest ad'
vices represent our troops advancing with
! equal energy and prudence, having complete
possession of Morris island with the exception
of one of its last defences. The reduction Of
Fort Pulaski year ago, by the same
officer, with the. same general plan, strength
ems the public confidence that Fort Sumter
will before many days share its fate. Pulaski
was a strong fort which its defenders believed
to be impregnable. But the cautious and sue
cessful approaches of Gen. Gilmore, by way
of Tybee Island, and his irresistible rifed
guns, brought down its colors, and compelled
its surrender. III that assault he had ten RI
fled guns, the largest throwing 84-pound shot,
ten columbiads, and sixteen large mortars;
but the rifles were the only arms that efectu-
sault thepossession of Morris Island brings him
as near to fort Sumter as Ty bee did to Pulas-
XII. He has now more and heavier rifles. He
has more powerful fleet to cooperate with
him in the attack. He has above all the ex-
perience and prestige of success, which will
not be lost in this last assault The capture
of fort Pulaski, though great victory, proved
to be a barren one. 1t did not bear the fruits
which were promised The capture of fort
Sumter will not be followed with like barren
results. 1t is the key to the Notifications Of
the city, which must yield when their guns
are turned upon it. And though the city is
not now of much strategic importance, it is
still the center of most virulent secession in
fuence, and the honor of the country, if not
its safety, demands that it shall be destroyed.
If Gen. Gilmore accomplishes the work he
will be cheerfully awarded the honor due tor
a hard task well performed.

Dissolving views of the Rebe1ion.

There is pleasant summer reading in the
English papers by the last steamer. If any
thug could aggravate the misery of the rebels
it would be the predictions made by their Eng
lish friends before the late disasters. The
heightened complacency and almost jubilant
self-possesslon with which they expected to
hear within week that jeff Davis was in
Washington; that Lee held Philadelphia and
Baltimore at his sovereign pleasure that the
next steamer might bring intelligence of the
new government established in the capital of
the old; that the expediency of recognizing
the confederacy would be settled by signal and
decisive confederate successes, is altogether
one of the refreshing incidents of the war.
The prophecies were golden; but tie facts
are unpublished, uncurrent copper. JEFF Da-
Wis, instead of luxuriating in Washing
ton ''within week. is putting the whole
white population OF his precarious do
minions under CONSUMPTION. Lee has not
seen Philadelphia or Baltimore-only Gettys-
burg; and is now seeking shelter with de-
featcd army somewhere in the passes of
Shenandoah valley. The next steamer in
stead of carrying news of the fall of Washing
ton, bore the magnificent story of Meade's
victory in Pennsylvania, and the news of the
reopening of the Mississippi by the fall of the
rebel strongholds Vicksburg and Port Hudson
The recognition of the confederacy, which the
tide of events was to have raised at once to an
accomplished fact, now lies stranded; and all
the strength of Mr.. Roebuck and Mr.. Lind
say and their class, who NEEDLE with state
craft as If they were statesmen, will never
float 1t again. Throughout the rotten fabric
ofthe contederacy there is settled and increas-
ing dependency. The transitory success of its
northern friends in exciting riot and anarchy
in northern cities has not prevented kind of
primeval darkness from gathering round If
Where will it end? If the government ;s
awake to its opportunities, and uses its great
resources with energy and wisdom, the rebel
lion will never see the light again. If it lis.
tens to the clamor Of its opponents, and abates
anything of its vigor to appease partisan hos
tility on the grosser treason of mobs, the re
bellion may gather up its declining energies
and indefinitely prolong the war. That is
calamity to be ayerted before all others.

The terms Of the appeal are in the highest de-
gree complimentary to that excellent regi-
ment, whose gentemanly bearing and soldier
ly conduct they say have endeared them to all
classes of people, and won their entire respect
and confidence. They also speak in terms at
once graceful and grateful Of the ''feeling of
perfect safety to life and property experienced

The EXCURSION of the UnversaliSt sabbath
school came off yesterday, to the general sat
isfaction of all present. Owing to the severe
storm of Tuesday, the company was some
what smaller than usual, but what was want
ing in numbers was made up socialty and en-
joyment. About u o'clock they assembled
in the grand amphitheater of the grove, where
after the invocation of Divine blessing, short
addresses were made by the superintendent of
the sabbath school, William Mecorney, and
Rev. I. f. St. John. Our space forbids an
abstract even Of the speeches, but we will say
that they were repete with the thoughts and
suggestions which naturally cluster around
such occasions. The only unpleasant
feature of the day was the failure of the rail-
road company to fulfil their agreement, thus
compelling the excursionists to walk to the
station, when the tickets they sold protested
to be good to the grore and return.
The beautiful lake was too great a tempta-
ton to be resisted, and boats were in good de-
mand. The ''Franklin" made several trips
around the lake, much to the qualification of
the happy voyagers. In the grove the time
passed away with swinging, dancing, and the
pleasant promenade. &5@
