THE GREAT SALT LAKE.-The lake from
which the city takes its name, is about twenty
miles distant from the latter, by good road
across the level valley bottom. Artistically
viewed, it is one Of the loveliest sheets Of
water l ever saw,-bluer than the intensest
blue of the ocean, and practically as impress
i've, since, looking from the southern shore,
you see only a water horizon. This view,
however, is broken by magnificent noun
famous island, rising, should think, seven
or eight hundred feet from the water, half a
dozen miles from shore, and apparently as
many miles in circuit. The density OF the
lake brine has been under instead of over
stated. l swan out into it for a considerable
distance, then lay upon my back on, rather
than in, the water, and suffered the breeze
to watt me landward again l was blown to
spot where the lake was only four inches
deep, without grazing my back, and did not
know had got within my depth again until l
depressed my hand trihe and touched bot
tom! 1t is mistake to call this lake azoic.
1t has no fish, but breeds myriads of strange
little maggots, which presently turn into
troublesome gnats. The rocks near the lake
are grandly castellated and cavernous crags
of limestone, some of it finely crystalline,
but most of it like Our coarser Trenton and
Black River groups. There is large cave
in this formation, ten minutes climb from the
shore.-Ftz Hugh Ls1dzo,0.

The FEELING IN RICHMoND.-We extract
the following from a paper called the South
e1m Cha~chandn published in Richmond. and
which is the organ of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church in the Confederate States. -
The date of publication is April 22d, and we
call particular attention to the sentence
printed in italic:
The present time, in the history of the war,
we do not think can well be over-estimated,
1t seems by common consent, both among US
and our enemies, to be regarded as crisis.
Of course all may be mistaken; but it does
appear as if we had reached that point in the
struggle when great victory, one side or
the other, will do much towards ending the
war. # General Lee meets Nth disaster, and
Joa''ston IS ocerconae, are may reach til conclu-
SION that longer strife oar part is useless and
ram. The battles may be virtually drawn bat
tles-no such success granted to either side as
that either will be able to accomplish any
thing great This will only prolong the war;
and, with the resources of the United States,
must prove disadvantageous to US.
s8 In the recent naval battle between
the Danes, and the Prussians and Austrian
allied feet off Heligoland, the Danes had
three ships, carrying seventy-four guns; the
Germans had five ships, two Austrian and
three Prussian and one hundred and twenty
one guns. The victory of the Danes Great
ed great Joy in England, where whatever
sympathy there has been with the Germans
is fast fading out, in spite of the manifest
leanings of the Queen.

1t was then decided to take up the resoIu-
tions separately.
The first, second, third and fourth were
adopted without dissent
Mr.. Goodell moved to amend the 9Th bv
declaring that slavery shall die" instead of
saying that it is dead, for, said the mover, al
though it is already dead, the fact is that
there are over three millions of people now
enslaved in Southern States. He moved to
substitute these words: that rebellion must
be suppressed by the destruction of its mo-
tive cause, slavery"
This was lost after debate and the resoln-
ton adopted.
The 9th, It'll, sth, 9th, 10th, 18th, 18th and
18th, were then adopted.
Col Moss moved that the convention now
proceed to the nomination of candidates for
President and Vice President upon this Plat
form, which was carried.
Mr.. Ransom moved to reconsider, BELIEVING
that it would be better policy to wait until
after the Baltimore Convention.
Mr.. Denvers, of Troy, seconded the mo.
ton, believing that any nomination at this
time would be premature and calculated to
defeat the very objects of this Convention
Mr.. D. continued at length in eulogy Of Gen.
Grant, and insisted that it would be unwise
and unfair, if not suicidal, to press a nomina.
ton now.
Col Moss moved that John c. Fremont he
declared the nominee of this Convention for
President of the United States
Mr.. Ransom moved an amendment: that a
nominating convention be held at Cleveland

took 1our OF the enemy prisoners. The party
had not proceeded far W hen they came upon
party OF thirty rebels that had been despatched
to cut them off. Our forces being very small,
had 10 abandon the prisoners, and succeeded in
escaping, with a loss CT one or two of their
number.
For a time it was thought something serious
might result out of these operations, but as the
day wore away and nothing of importance
transplred the excitement lulled, and all became
remarkably quiet by night.
Rumors had been continually reaching us Of
rebel movements, but this mornings affair will
likely enough account for them
We learn that the 62d Virginia Mounted In
