SALT LAKE.-A writer in the Cincinnati
Commercial says:
What shall say Of the Salt Lake, that
has been unsaid 7? Our coach, for several
miles, ran along the margin, and never in
my life have | had more curious object to
study and wonder over. It is twenty miles
northwest Of the city, but It haunts you for
ncarlya hundred miles. So with tho city
itself. You leave it at suarise, yet hour af.
ter hour it smiles on you from the rear, "a.
ding out impsrccptibly. The lake has a
hue Of its own-a rich, lustrous blue, blue
SO deep and splendid that the cloudless sky
scenes colorlcss when contrastcd Think Of
this weird, imprisoned sea, only one hun.
dred miles long and thirty-6ve miles wide,
perched four thousand feet above its kin.
dred oceans, fed by several rivers, and yet
slowly, very slowly, pining away 10 its soil
tude, one third Of its waters solid salt, with
no living thing in its depths, bordercd with
bare, pcnitential mountains, and pierced
here and there with wasted rock pinnaclcs.
Cut of from the great Pacific, Of which some
day it must have been On inlet, it is the very
image Of desolate captivity, message from
the sea which science has not yet construed,
and which confounds the antiquarian. The
human body, it is said, floats as lightly as
cork in the lake, but we did not test its
swimming susceptibili,ies. The water was
too cold the driver would not wait, and VIC
had d lady passenger.

The Indianapolis Journal says The rev.
olutionary attitude Of the Democratic party
is producing its legitimate fruits by driving
conservative, law abiding men to the sup
port Of General Grant, the man whose ecc
ton promises lasting domestic resce to the
country.
We have heretofore spoken of the move
ment Of Maryland Conservatives in favor Of
Grant, and their accession is followed by
those Of Hon. Alexander Rives, an old and
| ripe Virginia Statesman, and Hon. John s.
Carlisle, formerly Senator in Congress from
West Virginia. The latter, it will be remem-
bered, was the principal orator at the Demo,
cratic State Mass Meeting held in this city
! in the summer Of 1862. He has since acted
with the Democratic party, but the new war
promised BY Blair has satisfied him with the
Mexican Democracy. In recent letter Mr.
Carliele announces hisleave-taking from that
party, and gives his opinion ofthe action Of
the New York Convention, Is follows:
"Mr. vaIandigham's patriotism nominated
Seymour aud crushed the aspirations of the Chief
Justice, The friends Of tho lost cause triumphel
i over the Unionsm of the Convention, and the
