Our I,nty.

In the Houston Miss. New Record we
find a we'll timed article on the present
condition Of affairs, and our duty. We
think we see in it the hand and mind
of an old and valued friend-one
Of the truest, purest and bravest soldiers
in our old Regiment, the 18th Miss. We
give the conclusion
"Itremains with us tomaintain the liber-
al and noble feelings of a peculiar and
great'people. If we sacrifice these to a
sordid spirit of gain, a craven weakness,
the last yestige Of high and splendid
race will disappear forever beneath the
dark waves Of an endless obscurity. The
history Of the world is full Of instances
where people, whose spirits were bro ken
by the pressure of surrounding misfortu-
mes, rapidly descended to the lowestdepths
of human misery, and then gradually IA
ded from view, until the lasttraces Of THEN
existence were efaced by the superior
energy Of more fortunate nations. This is
not the inevitable result of adversely, but
only follows the excavation Of dependency
and despair. Purity, fortitude and hope
will support and imnortalize the spirit Of
chivalry by consciousness of personal
worth and dignity which no misfortunes
can crush, and no power of tyranny sub
due Never shall we forget the grandeur
Of the Past on account of the perjury and
mean wants of the Present"

The principal Of an institute of larnin
is one Of those strange crathures often
attempted to be described but was never

American noshuns are shocked at his
audacity, an yet he's patronised, whin
@ whin will we learn to know ourselves !?
an why is it that this hybrid can be
thought Of when civilized larnin holds out
better inducements to our children. Be-
tween you and I, he looks to be Irish, for
he never says no to his tay, and never
faults it for bein too strong. For the
present this many Of my characthers will
do. In church discipline here in Fizzle-
town we're all right, lovin aich other for
aich others sake, an in politiks we're a
divided jest to show the force of our in
dependence. Some of us are Southern

if we are Union they call us rebels. if we
say we're both they call us liars. If we're

GREAT SALT LAKE CRY, UTAH,
January "A, 1867.
Editors Valley Tuyinaan Il get the
Virginian regularly, and believing that an
outline or sketch Of ''Brighamdom," as
the regenerators are pleased to call this
lovely City, might interest the many read
ers Of your valuable paper, you will in
dulge mein a brief description of Salt
Lake City. tits handsomely situated on
an undulatipg slope of the Wasetah Noun
tain, forming as it were a basin ofthe great
erSalt Lake is surrounded by Mountains,
most Of them snow clad the year round !;
presenting most lovely contrast with a
city Astounding with almost every variety
Of fruit Thecityis laid off in blocks with
wide streets, running at right angles, each
block has eight lots Of one and a fourth
acres in each; covering an area of nearly
5000 acres. A great feature in the do
nestle arrangement Of our city is, that
upon every lot, with some few exceptions,
an orchard supplying an abundance of the
'choicestfruits. With a population ofabout
10000, we have located near the centre Of
each nine blocks school house-in all
twenty two-for the education of our
youth. There are eight OF ten commo-
dious Halls, a State-House and Court
House, with a City Hall, which would do
credit to any Eastern City The meeting
house for common worship, will accommc-
date easily 1000 persons, and the authori-
ties Of the Church have now in course Of
erection the largest house of worship in
the United States. 1t is.50 feet wide by
300 feet long; the roof and ceiling is
not supported by a single column, but is
in the form Of an arch and will take over
one million feet of lumber for the roof
alone. The edifee is to be handsomely
finished, and superb organ is ready to
take its place.
We have a large number Of princely
merchant houses, which would do honor to
to New York City And though with SO
large population, not Brothel or house
of lll-fame is in the Territory, and this is
one Of the reasons why SO much is said
against Utah by the outsiders for if they
come to visit the Territory they must bring
their wives or marry, as the people do not
permit or practice RIGHTEOUSNESS, and,
though they practice Poligamy, each and
every wifeis supported, protected and mar
Etured, one as well as the other, and all the
children, at the death Of a parent, share
alike in the property. -
1t is fact we'll known to every one of
the Sect, that it was foretold by Joseph
Smith, on the 18th of Dec 1882, that the
conflict was to commence at Charleston, S.
G., and that for an indefinite period of
time the two sections Of the country would
be arrayed, one against the other At this
time when we are living in peace, tran
guilty and brotherly love, youof the East
are still eager to cut each others Threats.
I trust there will soon be an end to the
animosity which now reigns.
In my next | will give your readers a
still further insight into Norman life, and
with best wishes for the success of the

The people and the representatives in
the Legislature from Eastern Virginia
seem to have become partially deranged a
bout a few Polish emigrants who have col
onized in that portion Of the State. 1t is
first proposed to make an appropriation
from the scanty resources Of the Treasury
for their support this winter, and then to
relieve them from taxation for three years.
On such conditions, we have no doubt,
emigration would flow in rapidly. We
think we have cases of charity sufficient
in numbers and merit to command all the
aims money Virginia canspare. We have
plenty Of empty sleeves and stumps Of
legs, and suffering widows and orphans,
the results Of gallant struggle in defence
Of Virginia soil, upon which to bestow all
the charity we have to give. The people
of the Valley have no especial use for col
onists Of this description, but, Of course,
have no objection to them, provided they
do as our own people do, make their own
living. Instead of lounging around bar
rooms and race-courses, if the young men
would go to work on their fathers farms,
as ours have done, there would be no ne
cessity for depending upon foreign emil
grafton for labor-Register.

Caldwell, J. f., of Greenbrier, urges the
removal Of the Capitol Of W. Va, to Lewis
