A Gentle Minister Anon: the Nor
mons.

A letter from Rev. DR.. KENDALL, dated
at Salt Lake City, appears in the New
York Evangelist. DR.. KENDALL says:
The people seem steady and laborious,
and as they came here on the strength of
religious convictions, they doubtless OBJ
serve the common moralities of life, ex-
cept so far as their religion teaches them
to transcend. spent the Fourth Of July
here, and observed little of profanity or
intemperance. Polygamy, which the lead
ers all commend and practice, which we
consider the great folly and crime of Nor
monism, of course is an exception. I am
told that one.fourth of the married men
here who are Mormons are pO,ygamists,
and the higher they stand in the church
the more wives they have, Brigham Young
and Heber Kimball outranking all others
They are said to have from twenty to thir-
ty wives each.

The prospect for successful missionary

a few months. Had we missionary here

portions in a short time.

From the Philadelphia Age.
Let no man forget that the confederate
agents in Canada did not make their ma
tional independence condition precedent
to negotiations that they said nothing
about it. And let it not be forgotten that
in all negotiations for peace between any
nations who have ever contended with any
thing like equality ofsuccess, the first de-
mands of both parties have always been
altered or modified in the hands Of the ne
gotiators. There can be no doubt that if
men SO violent and SO opposite in their
views as Greeley, on the one side and O.
c. Clay, on tie other, could think it pos
sible that peace between the North and
South could be arranged, there can be no
doubt. we say, that calmer, higher-mind-
edmen, coming together with fuller pow
ers, could have devised some means to
terminate the Bloody contest. ni4

Account Of Admiral Farra.ut writ
ten to a Brother Oficer..Sinkin. of
the Monitor Tccumseh with Capt.
Craven and 100 Men.


New YORK, August 15.-Admiral Farragut,
in letterto Commodore Palmer at New Or
leans, says woo if t
At an early hour on the 10th our fleet Iasfed
two and two, and sailed into the pass, close
under the guns of Fort Morgan pouring in
broadside after broadside of grape and cannis-
ter, thus driving the gunners from their places
and leaving our vessels exposed only to fire
from Forts Gaines and Powell, which, of
course was less effective on account of the
distance. At the same time General Changers
land batteries enfiladed Fort Gaines and caus-
ed its evacuation and the blowing up of Fort
Powell. In passing the forts the Oneida re-
ceiyed a shot which temporarily disabled her
machinery, but she was safely tOwed through
the fire by her consort. Our monitor Tecum-
seh one of the foremost. was sunk almost in
Simultaneously carrying down about 100 men,
including Capt. Craven.
The gunboats having passed out of the reach
of the forts, were pursued by the formidable
rebel ram Tennessee and three iron clads The
ram was i'm mediately attacked and battered so
effectually that it was obliged to Surrender in a
few minutes. The ram was but slightly in
jured
Lieut.. Prentiss, of the Monongahela, lost
both his legs. Captain Malcony, OF the Onei-
da, lost an arm.
An off Mobile correspondent SAYS: When
the rebel iron clad Selma surrendered to the
Metacomet, on boarding her it was found that
she had lost fearfully. Her deck was covered
with dead and dying, and her scuppers ran
with blood. Her commander Lieut.. Com
stock, formerly of the United States navy, was
lying dead across the breach of q gun, with
his bowels torn out.
The Tennessee attempted to avoid the mOni.
tors and made for the wooden ships, bat che
flag ship and the Monongahela followed her
up. The latter Struck the Tennessee amid
ship with her terrible Prov, causing the huge
rebel monster to reel like drunken man
The Hartford then grappled the Tennessee, but
further blOodshed was saved by the latter
hosting the white flag. The same horrible
slaughter was visible here Us on the Selma.
Captain Girard now commands the captured
ram. We captured nearly three hundred pris-
oners. Our army has possession of Dauphin
Island. The Hartford was injured more than
any other ship. v3l1 s..
A large force of our soldiers have marched

stamps on Receipts.

The Boston Adrertisey' speculates as
follows in regard to the operation Of the
law requiring stamps on receipts:
Receipts for the pay of any sum Of money or
for the payment of any debt due, erceeding
t1renfy dollars. not being for the satisfaction of
any mortgage, Or judgment or decree of any
court, and receipt for the delivery of any
property, now require q two cent revenue
stamp. AS this is something new in this
country, there will doubtless be some question
as to which party shall pay for the stamps.
The general principle seems to us to be this I:
If A owes B $21, B is of course entitled to that
full amount, and if A requires certificate of
its payment, A should pay the expense. name
ly, two cents. But, circumstances alter ca
ses," and if a patronizes BIS hotel or buys
shoes OF G and pays cash, B and c to secure a
continuance of AS custom, will generally put
on the stamp and say nothing about it. If a,
however, instead of paying cash, wants credit
of three or six months, it would be quite the
thing for him to pay for the stamp in return
for the accommodation which he has received
The idiosyncrasies Of men win of course man.
ifest themselves in this matter, as in others.
We know of man who had an opportunity to
sell an estate for 81, 600, but who entertained
serious thoughts OF letting it go for S., 500 to
save three dollars ON the stamp. There will
doubtless be frequent cases of "dodging," and
sharp practice, but the general system among
honorable men will probably be about what we
have indicated above. -
