DEAR COURIER /: Uintah Station is in
Weber Canyon, (Uta! Territory a beautiful
and fertile valley, amongst series of little
towns, but all called Morgan, from tho fact,
We suppose, that this Mormon settlement is
ruled by one elder, &C.; is eight miles from
Ogden, is entirely Mormon settled, a large
and handsome built city, (G,000 Inhabitants )
with fino hotel-had our supper here p. M,
last evening; has her newspapers schools,
&c, and is situated in most romantic section
between Ogden and Weber rivers The
Utah Central Pacific Railroad is now Just
completed to this place, with Brigham Young
as president, and hero we change cars from
the Union Pacific r. r. to the Central Pa
cific r. r. We find the cars on tho G. P.
II. IL. much ncatcr than those on the u. p.
r. r., though smaller (and, you know, val
uablc articles arc always put up in a small com.
pass, made so on purpose to more easily glide
along these mountain curves and to 80 through
tho seventeen tunnels on her road.
Ogden is in view of the beautiful Salt lake,
where every three gallons of water will make
you gallon Of salt. Too brackish for use,
eh? She has several steamboats, to tho city of
Salt Lake, by railroad 81 miles. The gradual
depression in the mountains just in this val
ley, would indicate that tho "great waters
(that was, when Noah was sailor,) fell, grad
ually, to certain point to this depression,
though very high up, and then, when the
general rush out was made, they found, in
places, more easy outlets, and, hence, the stu
/ pendous cliffs left and tho terrible gorges
made, for here nature develops herself in .
powerful effort, surely. Tho valley is wide
and fertile, surrounded by tho everlasting
snow-cappsd mountains, and peace, wealth
and general good times seem to abound.
Leaving Ogden City at o'clock, p. M
with large, full train of passengers, we pass
first, Bonneville; and then, Corinne, twenty
three miles from Ogdcn--is well laid out, and
being rapidly built up has now 5000 inhab

EducatiOn.

A correspondent Of the Columbia IoAentg,
writing from Washington, says:
Gen. Eaton, the Commissioner Of Educa-
tion, has recently had prepared in his Office,
number of tables of ON exceedingly inter.
esting character; showing the relation Of ed.
ucation to the revenues of the country, the
receipt from postal sources, and the distribu
tIon of patents to inventors. Also, the dis
tribution of persons engaged in the learned
professions, and tho issue and circulation Of
newspapers and periodicals, and finally com
pairing the number of voters unable to read
and write, with the political majortics
which determined the elections, in all the
States and in sections in 1860 and 1868.
These tables are necessarily based upon the
census of 1860, and they show conclusivcly,
that, as Secretary Boutwell, said many years
in Massachusetts, condition of the schools
indicate tho condition of tho country. The
State which gives the least revenue, per cap
ata, (either of internal revenue or postal re-
ceipts,) have the greatest per centace of ilit-
oracy.. Thirtynine out Of every 100 grown
persons in Tennessee, arc illitcrate. In Ohio,
only 6 odt of every 100. The former contri.
butcd in 1860, only IA cents, per capita, to
support the mail service, the latter % cents
The former, in 1860, paid s1.12 per head to
the Internal Revenue Department, the latter,
S6.87, or Ohio pays more than six times as
much as Tennessee toward supporting the
Government and paying the national debt
Yet Tennessee has the largest area, the best
soil, climate and mineral resources, and was
admitted first into the Union. The contrasts
are still greater between othcr States, where
Ignorance of citizens prevails to greater ex-
tent on the one side and Intelligence on the
other. The political table shows that in sew
onteen States in 1860, the pluralties or ma
joritics were less than the number of illiteratc
votes. The receipt of the number Of litter

$50, not counting the increase for the 1ast
ten years. President Grants majority was
30o,722 less by 1926, 142 than the number
of adult men who were in 1850 unable to
read and write. Another feature of the tables
shows that the persons who are able to read and
write in the South, read much less of the
current literature of the day than those in the
North. In several Of the States South, the
number of voters who cannot read their bal
lots are greater than those who can These
tables will soon be published in some form for
general information, but it has not yet been
decided how.

ES" A thrilling scene occurred at the in.
sane asylum, in Jacksonville, Illinois a
woman who had been in the asylum for sever
al years, escaped from tho ward and went
through the halls and up the stairway that
leads out upon the roof Of that building. She
wandered around upon the roof Of the build
Ing until she came to the edge Of tho cornicc.
After looking down for some time she swung
herself over the edge Of tho cornice by her
hands, and swinging thcrc she could just
touch with her toes the cap above the window
Of the frth.story, which was just below her.
Having gotten foothold thereon, she let go
her hands, and, strange to say, preserved her
balance and stood upon the cap, which is about
twelve inches wide. While standing there
sho was discovered in her pcrilous, situation.
Immediately several men went upon the roof
to let down rope, and tried to persuade her
to fastcn it around her. She would take hold
of the rope, then laugh at them, but refused
to use it. Meanwhile beds wcro brought out
and placed on the ground five stories below
her; and in brcathless suspense all who were
on tho ground awaited her fall. Nothing
daunted, after remaining on the window cap
for nearly half hour, all of sudden she
grabbed the rope held by the hands Of the
men above and jumped off: They let the
rope run through their hands, and sho held
on until within thirty feet of the ground,
when she let 60, and fell upon tho beds up-
hurt. During oil this time there was the
most thrilling suspense to all tho bcholdcrs,
and glorious relief at her escape from such
peril. *;

III u rrah!

The bill to enable Townships to
aid in the construction Of Railroads
has passed both Houses of the AS
sembly. The vote in the House
stood 63 to 26. So empbatically did
the people, through their Represen-
tatives, assent their rights. At this
writing TUESDAY morning) we have
not learned that the bill has received
the Governors signature; but there
can be no doubt on that point. 1t is
yet too early to make any specific
representations; but we may with
confidence assure our readers that
Railroad men are aware of the state
of matters in this County, and in due
season the subject of a Railroad will
be properly presented. Let us pre-
pare to meet that "tide in the affairs
Of men, which, taken at its flood,
leads on to fortune"

A Big Crow.

Our neighbor the Democrat of this
week comes out with big crow over
the result Of the Connecticut State
election. OF cOufse 70 ifasa peffect
right 10, but the WISDOM OF II is not
SO evident. Connecticut gave grant
for President but 3,O45 majority, in.
stead of 5000 as the Democrat says
In 1867 the Democratic majority in
that State was 97G; in 1868, for Gov
ernor, it was 1866. On the vote for
Governor last year, Jewell, Republic
can, had but All majority. The
Democratic majority this year Is not
"about three thousand" as the Demo.
crat pretends to quote it, but is only
$40; and the Republicans have the
majority in both branches of the Leg
islature. Truly, the Democrats crow
has small ground to stand on.
Per contra, Rhode Island on the
9th inst. reelected her Republican
Governor, and elected other Repub-
lican State officers, and Legislature,
by about 1000 majority on State tick
ct; and the Legislature thus chosen
has Senator to elect, which Con.
necticut had not. And further: In
one single Congressional District in
Ohio, the Tenth, which on Monday
of last week elected DR.. +. Peck, Re.
publican, to Congress, the aggregate
Republican gain was twice as large
as the Democratic gain in the whole
of Connecticut. How do the scales
balance now, neighbOr?
