THE PRINCE has not yet arrived. He map
come to-day or tomorrow, aud some old men
of the sea think that he may not arrive for
several days. The committee suggest that on
his arrival the city be given as fine gala APP
pearance as possible; that flags and bunting
be lavshly displayed along the route OF
march and on the shipping in the har-
Dor. The suggestion is one that will cor
daily commend itself to our citizens.
Whatever the bond Of sympathy between
MS and Russia may have sprung from, it
is strong one, and our people are willing to
pay hearty honors to a son of the Gear, which
they would not accord to any other Prince in

Another Mormon Exodus Threatened.

A despatch from Salt Lake informs us that
| a Mormon leader has threatened that, in case
there be any more convictions of Mormons by
the United States authorities the Saints will
burn their property and make another exodus.
Howsoever these fanatics may be regarded on
the score Of morality, they certainly are no
fools, as they would show themselves to be by
acting as above suggested. The fact is these
Mormons are in an altogether different situa-
ton now than when they made their exodus
from Nauvoo thirty years ago. A generation
of children has sprung up among them since
that time, each one, no doubt, claiming some
share in the property of his parents and having
a common interest in saving il from destruction.
Opposition to burning and destroying may
naturally be expected from this quarter,
Moreover if the Mormons determine to make
another exodus, where are they to go? There
are not many more wildernesses to conquer on
this Continents for since the Saints first set
tied in Utah the railroad and telegraph have
brought all sections Of our country together,
and made, as it were, one family OF the whole
American people. One railroad already
crosses the Continent; others are under way,
and before many years grand longi-
tudinal railway will constitute the iron back
bone of the Continent from Hudson Bay to the
Isthmus of Daren. The Mormons WILL there
fore, find themselves hemmed in on all sides
by the vast improvements of the age, and
finally be obliged to succumb or be dispersed
like the lost tribes OF Israel. The Mormons
cannot afford to make another exodus. Their
grown up children, to say nothing of their
many wives, will not consent to it, and none
but a few old superannuated elders, who are
Of no particular use anywhere, will form the
grand caravan that will start for the new
Promised Land. Oar advice to the Saints
and sinners of Mormondom is, stay where you
are, adapt yourselves to the spirit of modern
progress and civilization, obey the laws of
morality aud Of Uncle Sam, love your neigh
bors-not their wives-as yourselves, and
you will surely reap and enjoy the blessed
reward Of the faithful.
