MORM0NISM.

The Mormon question has now become
ono of international importance. In a
Cabinet meeting held on the 9Th inst,
the Secretary of State presented for con-
sideration letter protesting against the
conduct of European governments in al
lowing their subjects to leave for the
United States as Mormon emigrants,
which letter was approved by the Cabi-
net, and copies were sent to the diplo-
matte representatives of the United
STATES at the Courts of Great Britain,
Germany, Norway, Sweden and Den
mark. 1t is understood that the letter
sets forth that bigamy is crime in the
Territories of the United States, punish.
able by fine and imprisonment, and that
the penalties of the law will be enforced.
1t is to be hoped that the action taken by
the government will in the future pre-
vent emigrants of this kind from coming
to this country, and tho enforcement of
the Act of Congress in the Territories
will settle forever this fostering social
question. Should emigrants still persist
in coming to this country, it is the in
tention of the government to refuse them
entrance into our our ports and to forbid
vessels landing them.

THE COTTON CROP.

Reports from the Boards of Exchange
of tho States of Virginia, North Caro-
liua, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana. Texas
and Arkansas, are favorable to the pro-
ductiveness of the crop of the present
year, equaling; if not exceeding, tha! Of
the last. The crop everywhere is repre-
sented as forming, blooming and boiling
well; and although the plant is generally
reported as smaller than last year, owing
to the July drought, yet the crop com
pares favorably with that of last year,
In many instances is better. The drought
during the month of juno and July en-
abled the farmers to keep their entire
crops in good cultivation; hence there
has been very little, if any, abandon
ment, and no damage of consequence to
them by the boll-worm or caterpillar.
In some localities of the South the crop
is earlier than usual, owing to the dry
hot weather, while in other sections it is
from eight to twelve days later. The
apprehended danger of shedding from
heavy raiGs has not been realized, and
the prospect for an abundant harvest is
at present most promising. There is,
therefore, no reason to believe that cot
ton will command q high price this Fall
from diminished production of the
staple,

A MIRACLE IN GEoRerA.-willjan

A MIRACLE IN GEoRGIA.-William
Langley, g cotton planter, of Gwinnett
County, was sta.' .'1ing in field on his
farm. Around him were several men,
woman and three children, all breaking
and the mir quiet, there being about both
hint of sultriness. The Children had
just stopped work and thrown themselves.
tired as tired could be, on the top of q
pile of guano sacks, when q peculiar
roaring was heard in the field The
aouhu bore some resemblance TO that OF
an approaching train, but as no railroads
were near, the workers looked at ono an
other In amaZement In q moment thew
saw small column not larger in circuni-
ference than barrel skim rapidly along
the ground. The wind column or spout
appeared TO be filed with dust, and in
the centre contained what looked like n
ball of fire. The mother rushed towards
the children, who crouched low in fright,
but before she could reach them the pile.
of guano bags, children and all, were
scattered right and left. In its course, al
ways eccentric, the column struck stump
fairly from butt to roots and tore it from
tho ground, the wood splitting into three
pieces, anc. dropping twenty or thirty
yards away. Mr.. Langley was sucked in
as the whirling thing holted by and
thrown into q pioughed gully some dis
tance away. In che. next instant the
strange visitor had gone, passing up over
the tops of the trees. 1t was seen plainly

Yellow Fever Reports.
CHICAGO. Aur,,st

CHICAGO, August Q.
In answer to q telegraphic request of
the Duly NewS of this city, A. u. Long
staff, President of the Howard Associa-
ton at Memphis, has sent q telegram
giving the particulars of the condition of
the city containing the following points:
The total number of cases Of yellow
fever to this hour within the city limits
officially recorded is 800; of this number
so have died. In addition there have
been about 20 cases and 5 deaths oe
Memphis refugees located within six
miles OF the city. The disease has not
communicated to any of the surrounding
towns on account of the rigid quaran.
tine. The fever has increased in Mem
phis very rerceptibly in the past ten DAYS
and is spreading from its original centre.
We cannot hope for n discontinuance
until frost. AT least $4,000 persons have
left, of whom 10000 are located in
camps Father Mathew and Marks, situo.
ted four and seven miles respect;ye!y
from Memphis. There have been three
cases in Camp Marks and one death.
AT least twelve thousand negroes are in
the city, only 1000 having gone to the
camps. They have declined to leave the
city, hoping to receive rations hero.
"htcu 10 Al opposition 10 tne views OF all
parties who are laboring here to attend
to such as may be taken sick. Our only
safety is depopulation. In consequence
of the fever spreading among the negroes
i'll the past five days there is a growing
disposition to so TO the camps. Should
their appeal to the people of the United
States for rations not meet with a favor
able answer, the negroes will no doubt
move as soon rs they get hungry. No
one but Howard visitor or a physician
knows of the filthy novels that these peo-
pie live in and IN which they are taken
sick and too frequently die. We have
six physicians on duty and have had un-
der our charge $50 patients sick with
various diseases. To these sick people
we furnish nurses, medicines, stimulants
and food. About 200 have been dis
charged. Our expenses are now $500
per day, and will probably increase. We
have on hand $4,000; this amount
would have been sufficient if the negroes
had followed the example of the Viii, ',
people and leh the city. We hope no.
to be forced to ask assistance, but fear
this non action of the negroes will COM
pei lis to do so. The sanitary condition
of the city is excellent"

Tho Nihilists are giving to Russia con.
siderable trouble, and unless Russia
changes the inhuman treatment of these
misguided fanatics she will array the
civilized world against her and create a
sympathy for those she would crush.
Tine organization OF the Nihilists seems
TO be secret and powerful, and the right
of Russia to adopt adequate measures to
suppress it must be conceded, yet, in the
execution of those measures, humanity
demands that she should not inhumaniy
torture these miserable people.

that he has gone to Jail. There was
strong talk of lynching him, but hope
that there is nothing Of this. Surely our

this. We have courts of justice, and be.
