deputarion OF English and Northern settlers

The New York herald., 1873-04-11

An eminent English artist has for the past
two years been engaged upon picture which
is entitled s"The Shadow of the Cross" It
represents the sunset hour, the scene being q
carpenters shop and the characters the
Saviour and His mother The days work is
just done, and Christ stands erect His arms
extended in the ancient attitude of prayer
His mother kneels, with her back turned tow
ard the observer and her face in the direction
of her Son. The room is filed with the sacred
radiance of solemn sunset, and as the figure
Of Jesus intercepts q portion of the light the
shadow of a cross is projected from His erect
attitude and outstretched arms. Upon this
shadow His mothers gaze is supposed to be
riveted, with o tragic provision of all that it
portends. Her face cannot be seen, but her
hands and arms are eloquent, and inform us
Of her agonized amazement almost as force
fully as her features could do. In that grim
shadow she reads, with spiritual eyes, the
pathway that her Son must tread. The moral
of His life for the first time breaks upon her,
and she shrinks in speechless anguish before
the Divine Mystery to which she has been the
medium of giving birth.
Perhaps the emotions which the artist has
impaired to Mary at this supposititious moment
will find an echo in more than one heart
during the solemnitiss of to-day. 1t is one
thing to have followed the ritual during life
time it is another to penetrate the spiritual
meaning which underlies it and to take in,
broadly and deeply, the whole significance of
Christ's birth, life, sufferings and death. The
shadow of the cross has fallen over all human
ity, and that darkness imprints tender stain
upon the garment Of every penitent The
sombre poetry of the Passion finds rhyme in
every heart and oil human natures saddest
and most valuable experiences are versifed to
the metre of the crucifxion. With all that
there is attractive and fascinating about an
honest scepticisn, faith still continues to
soften it's millions of hearts, and the world is
better for believing that those who are willing
may be saved by the death Of One who was
perfect. But it would be pleasant to antici-
pate that the Good Friday which we solemnize
to-day would leave an ineradicable influence
upon society. The most that we are warranted
in expecting is that its celebration is one OF
those benefoent stays which prevent our being
quite 80 reckless as we might otherwise be-
come. Human nature in general-and, per.
haps, New York human nature in particular
needs as many of these sacred hinderances as
can possibly be secured, and we therefore hope
that the exalting influences of to-day will ex.
tend widely, deeply and permanently.

An Epistle from Brigham Young.

While the HERALD has been sending its
commissioners to Africa and to Cuba, and has
its representatives in every civilized nation OF
the earth, seeking to gather up the facts OF
current daily history, it has at no time been
indifferent to passing events at home, and
where energy and bravery have been
called for it has had willing mes
sengers ready at moments notice
to 60 whittier duty called. The deep preju-
dices existing in Utah between the Gentle
and the Mormon have rendered it difficult to
receive from that Territory at any time per-
fectly unbiased report from either side in the
controversy that has SO ong continued to
threaten the peace Of the people and the sta
bility of its best commercial interests.
With a realizing sense Of our obligations,
as an Independent journal to spare no effort
or expense in placing before the world the
facts of all controversies that interest our
people, we thought it but fair and just to the
Mormon Prophet that he should be heard at
this time, when there is so much rumored and
SO little understood about his purposes and
designs that seem calculated to disturb the
commercial relations Of the Mormon people
with the rest of the world.
We offered to Ex-Governor Young the use of
our columns to explain. He has done SO in
his own way and style, and we give his de-
spatch verbatim.
1t is not fitting that we should at the present
moment comment at any length upon his
sentiments and the judgment that he passes
upon his own labors and the purposes of his
life, but we may properly enough suggest that
if the same iberality Of sentiment ex-
pressed in this epistle were borne out in
the sermons in the Tabernacle and in the
Mormon press at Salt Lake City there
would be little foundation for quarrel be-
tween the Saints and the sinners. At the
ripe old age Of seventy-two we can well imag-
inc his desire for peace, and we would be glad,
indeed, that the worldwide publicity which
the HERALD gives to the utterances of the
Mormon Prophet this morning would be the
ushering in of the millennium in Utah. We
are, however, given to some cynicism in face
Of Brighams magnificent prospectus of his
own and his Saints little commercial games.
He is prophetic in his despatch, probably the
first instance Of prophesying by telegraph on
record. Time alone tests these things.

The Spring Flo0ds-Dangcr impending
In tho Mississippi Valley.

The early arrival of the Spring floods will
be noticed with general concern, especially
in the broad valley of the Lower Mississippi
For the past week the rainfall has been heavy
through the West, varying from two to nearly
five inches through Indiana, Illinois and
Missouri At Fort Wayne the reports by tele-
graph mentioned yesterday the heaviest rain
amounting in forty-eight hours to three and
three-fourths inches-known in five years.
The floods of the great Western waters occur
in February under the snow melting suns of
that month, and are followed by the May and
June rise, which often commences early in
April The latter inundation is the effect of
the Spring rains brought from the Gulf Of
Mexico in the southwesterly or great
equatorial current and condensed in the
country, still cold from the Winter
refrigeration. The snow and rain fall returns
for the past three months show that, notwith-
standing the great droughts in some parts of
the Southern hemisphere, for example at the
Cape of Good Hope, in the United States an
unusual amount of water has been falling.
According to the law of weather chances and
probabilities recently deduced by NJ. Happen,
the Russian meteorologist, the weather has
decided tendency to preserve its character, and
we may stand cautioned to expect heavy rains
and progressive floods from this time till the
middle Of June. The section most eminently
threatened is the Mississippi Valley south of
Cairo, and if the Ohio the Missouri, the Hi
nois and the Red Rivers combine
to swell the volume of the Father of
Waters at this juncture, the dam
ger Of overwhelming the levees and
destroying the cotton crop will be very great.
1t will be remembered that the memorable
food of the great river in 1858 began just as
this has done, early in April, and, gradually
increasing, reached its disastrous elimination
in the middle of June, inundating the city OF
Cairo and sweeping like great tidal wave
over the whole country to the southwark.
The Rocky Mountains are now beginning te
dissolve their vast glaciers and snow accumu-
lations of this long and terrible Winter, and
the thousand streams which will flow from
them to the Mississippi within the next month,
reinforced by the floods of the Ohio the
Upper Mississippi, the Wabash and Tennes-
see, will be likely to make fearful assault on
the already insecure embankments south of
Memphis. 1t is not yet too late to prepare
for the probable emergency by fortifying the
artificial bulwarks erected against the watery
invasion.

3O-Radical Hopes of Success.
RICHMOND. April 10, 1873.
The election for State officers and new Legsla.
ture will be held in November next In Virginia. A
large meeting OF the State Republican Committee
was in attendance here to-day pursuant to call.
The committee was full, every part of the State
being represented. Hon. w. II. H. Stowell, men,
ber of Congress from the Fourth district, presided
as chairman. There was entire harmony OF senti-
ment Several distinguished republicans not OF
the committee were also in the city, including
Congressman Platt, Colonel X. W. Hughes, DR..
Maish, OF Mntevie; Soionei william =, 80 Eaay, aat ol
burg, and others.
T6e committee fixed upon Lynchburg as the
place and the 30h day OF July the time or hold
ing the Republican Convention to nominate q Gov
ernor. Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General.
The members OF the committee represent that
there Is lttle II any, difference OF opinion anto who
will be the republican candidate for Governor, the

railroads and religion.

aid from the national government and the
CULTIVATION OF uDeral SenCmenJS towards NorIneTn

The republicans will probably express their appre--
ciation or respectable and worthy carpet-baggers
by putting Mr.. q. p. Ramsdel. Legislator from Sur
rey county, on their ticket as candidate Tor Lieu
tenant Governor There Is general feeling in
favor OF Mr. Lunsford L. Lewis, OF Culpepper
county, grandson OF Judge Lomax and half
brother OF Senator Lewis, as candidate for Att0r-
ney General The committee express en-.
tire confidence that the Convention Will
be harmonious, and believe that its nominations
will be made by acclamation. They also speak
with confidence OF carrying the State. They say
that Virginia gave Grant upwards OF five thousand
votes over Greeley, though the conservative can
vassers OF the votes only counted them 1000 ma
jOrity. The members OF the committee further
declare that the people in all parts OF the State are
looking anxiously for aid from Congress for the
common schools anu for the completion OF the Vir-
ginia water line, and are disposed to put their
State government in accord with the ruling party
ih Congress.
The report that Robert E. Lee, Jr., is to be the
conservative candidate for Governor Is without
authority OF well advised men Of Unat party, and
has no foundation whatever.
