PEELED, by the same dread Of truth, to prac-
tise the same tactics. When our present
correspondent arrived in Utah he was
treated with extraordinary courtesy. Brig
ham Young, surrounded by the assembled
magnates Of the Church. accorded him q
reception at which they gave ready answers
to all the questions he thought fit to ask.
They probably expected that so much defer
ence and consideration would tisfy and dis
arm his employers and send him away with
favorable impression. BY similar treatment
they had beguiled most travellers who
have visited them in quest of in
formation, and the fears excited by
Lees execution made them unusually suave
and insinuating in their bearing to the
HHRALDs correspondent. He is not the
kind of bird to be caught with such chat,
even if his instructions had permitted it.
He was commissioned to remain in the Ter
ritory and ferret out the whole truth, so tar
as it is ascertainable; and the Mormons,
having found by his letters that he is not
fly to get his legs caught in honey, have
changed their method and attempted to
drive him away by alarm for his life. This
method will have no better success than the
first. They dare not murder him, or
if they should there will be great
deal to follow which they will not
relish. The HERALD may reasonably feel
o great deal more secure Of its ability
to protect its correspondents in our own
country than it was to avenge i'll treatment
in Cuba Even Spain dared not harm
them, and more signal vengeance would
overtake the Mormons than was possible in
the case Of the Spaniards If they had exc
cuted their insolcnt threat to shoot our
commissioner as spy.
The long and interesting letter from our
Salt Lake correspondent which we publish
this morning will give the Latter Day Saints
more occasion to squirm and futter than
they have had yet, and we ask them to ac-
cept it as proof of the utter futility Of
either aattery or threats to shield them
from exposure.

The INVASION OF New JERSEY. New Jer-
sey awoke yesterday morning with start
by millions of seventeen year locusts, whose
busy hum filled the groves. 1t is the genu-
inc red-eycd locust, and the creature no
sooner emerges from the ground than he
climbs the nearest tree, sticks his claws into
the bark, bursts the back of his jacket,
awkwardly gets out of his old clothes and
appears with set of brand new wings and
q head little uglier than his original one.

WALL STREET YEsTERDAY-The stock market,

1O74 to 1858. Money on call continues to lend
easily at per cent.

FLOWERS FOR THE SICK.--We have not heard
much this year Of the society which makes it u

long in sick room can realize how the con-
valescent patient welcomes flower. 1t comes
ike breath of new life, and in many cases is
moro beneficial than medicine.

THE WEATHEE-Thc northwestern storm
centre is gradually moving northcastward over
the upper lake region, followed by rising barom-
etcr and falling temperature. Heavy rains fell
yesterday in the vicinity Of Pembina and in tho
Upper Mississippi and Lower Ohio valleys. The
winds attending the storm movement in these
regions were high and will continue so from
southerly points until the storm area moves
eastward. We may expect its rcappcaiance
with heavy rains, at the mouth of the St.
Lawrence by Tuesday next IN the mean
limo the low temperature will slowly approach
from the Northwest. The area Of seventy de-
grecs Of temperature yesterday embraced the
Northeastern regions as far ~ Quebec and Hall

THE RETIREMENT or EnAsrus BROOKS from

han forty years service on that Journal is AN
event in the newspaper history OF this city. Mr..
Brooks has always enjoyed in IL large measure

Dom Pedros Wealthy Country.

All intelligent travellers who have
visited Brazil speak in the most
glowing terms Of the country.
Prof. Agassiz regarded it as the
most productive and interesting
country on the globe and the one
in which it il easiest to obtain q
livelihood. Some who have sailed
up the Amazon declare that vessel
can be loaded with Brazil nuts at
an expense Of only few pence per
bushel. These constitute q valu-
able article Of commerce, while the
oil extracted from them is very de-
sirable. All the tropical fruits are
produced in Brazil almost without
cultivation. The soil in many parts
of the country will produce twenty
successive crops Of cotton, tobacco
or sugar cane without application
of manure. No country in the
world approaches the land OF Dom
Pedro in the variety Of its forest
productions. Prof. Agassis states
that he saw III different kinds OF
valuable woods that were cut from
Q piece of land not half q mile
square. They represented almost
every variety Of color and many OF
them we're capable of receiving q
high polish. One kind of tree
furnishes wax that is used for can
dies; another . pitch that is used
for food, and still another yields a
Juice which is used in the place OF
intoxicating liquor. There is q
single variety of palm from which
the natives obtain food. drink,
clothing. bedding. cordage, fishing
tackle, medicine and the material
they manufacture into dwellings.
weapons, harpoons and musical in
struments. Doubtless the day is
not far distant when the valuable
woods Of Brazil will be used for
various useful and ornamental pur-
poses.
