VOL. XI. A PICTURE OF MORMON LIFE. Extrao; ry Revetati Frederick Loba, ex-High Priest of the Mor- mons, who escaped from Salt Lake with his family, is now in Kansas. He is a native of Switzerland, of great intelligence and liberal education, an accomplished linguist, and pos- sessing rare conversational powers. He i miliar with every part of Europe, was d' guished in his own land for scientific entert: ments, and was formerly a prominent official in bis native town of Laussane. He became a vietim to Mormonism, and attested his sin- cerity by yer | his position at home,—and journeying with his family to Salt Lake in 854, im the confident expectation to find there the Zion of God, towards which his religious zeal had turned with the holiest aspirations. The Leavenworth correspondent of the Times writes as follows, of this man : He reached the much longed for “ Valleys of the Mountains” to find them the theatre of lust and crime of eyery description and the most di ting character, perpetrated in the name of religion. His eyes were speedily opened. From that hour his attention was turned to plans of ezcape from the Valley. Foreseeing that this was impossible if his pur- pose should be discovered. he eoncealed his true feelings, and appeared to join with heart and soul in the ceremonial mummeries which he loathed. Ie escaped finally in April last, and with his family ail sick, and without a farthing of the ample means with which he started for Salt Lake, be reached Leavenworth. He says. unhesitatingly, that the Mormons Will not attempt to resiat the U.S. troops if they go out in a body, instead of scattering along the road in small parties, as did the Government wagon trains, destroyed upon the plains last season. Mr. Loba met these on his way in, and cautioned their conductors againat their carelessnes’, assuring them of their dan- ak and urging them to concentrate and more orward ina body. They could see no enemy, failed to follow the friendly advice, and were cut off and robbed Mr. Loba bases his opinion that the Mor- mons will make no attempt at organized re- sistance upon his peas knowledge of the fact that they have no means of resistance. They have very little ammunition, no gun- powder factory, no material from which to make the powder, none of the appliances es- sential to that purpose, nor any single man who knows how to make an ounce of explosive material, even if his life depended upon it. Nor have they any artillery, with the excep- tion of a single picce of cannon, a two-pounder, one of a pair given them long since by the United States—the other one having burst while Mr. Loba was in the Valley. My in- formant is aman of considerable military ca- pacity, having been an officer in the French ice in the time of Charles X is fact be- coming known, on his arrival at Salt Lake, he was for a long time besought to accept a anili- tary title and — which gave him ample opportunity of ascertaining the military re- sources of the country and capacity of ita peo- le. He asserts that they have ‘no military nowledge, even if they bad arms. They had no iron from which to east cannon, —and if they had the material, they have no foundry, nur any machinery for boring them, hor any mechanie competent to do the work. Tryp, there is an abundance of iron ore 300 4 or more south of Salt Lake City, but it is highly magnetic, and had been expended in experimenting, all efforts to melt it down and render it fit for use had failed. Neither are the Mormons any better off in the matter of inanufacturing small arms. They have some few gun-tinkers among them; but, as an evi- dence of their utter incompetency, he men- tions the fact that no one of them was able to make a scréw for him, to replace one which he had lost from a revolver of peculiar construc- tion timates the total population of 000. OF these, counting every male from 15 to 60 years of age, he estimates that there are not exceed to 7,500 capable of bearing arms—while not more than 3,500 of the whole number, in his opinion, would make even passable soldiers, under drilling by skil- ful men. Not one in ten of the entire male population have firearms of any description ; and a large proportion of those are out of re- pair and worthless. Ie haz no confidence in the statement that the Mormons have fortified Echo Canon, except digging ditehes, and bois- ing rocks to be rolled down from tho over- hanging cliffs. Their boast of mines under the road, and all that sort of thing, he scouts as nonsense. In short. he considers the Mormons destitute of any effective power of resistance to even the small force already under command ef Gen. Johnston, and maintains that Brigham Young's entire reliance has been based upon his hope of being able to deter the United States, from attempting to deal with him, by lying boasts of his ability to wage successful resistance. He believes that when Brigham finds his braggadocio has failed, and that the United ~ States authorities are determined to pursue him, he will have a “special revelation from God” instructing him to retire from before the Pailistines. In obedience to these directions he will go off with these 2.500 Danites, or «-De- stroying Angels,’ and, when the troops arrive at Salt Lake, will be found missing. ‘they will probably go northward to Vancouver's Island, or possibly to the Russian possessions, which they can do easier than go southward to Sono- ra, as they are without means of sustenance while crossing the desert lying in that diree tion. There is no probability that the “Sainta”’ will retire in a body thence, to sally in preda- tory bands upon tho Gentile troops or etyil oc- cupants of the valley. The Danites—well fitted by experience and wicked instinets for the life ot Readies sight take to the mountains; but the masses cou/d not follow them there, be- cause it would be simply a journey to etarva- tion and death. And for this very reason no considerable body even of the Danites will seek the mountain life, because they could no longer live on the sweat and blood of the toiling masses, whose tithes and other offerings have heretofore affurded todhe Mormon hierarchy and their ministers of despotism known as *Destroy- ing Angels,’ the support and means of grati tying t debasing tastes and passions. Perhaps no single incident in connection with Mormon history presents more of horror, than the history of hand cart trains. I asked Mr. Loba to give me an unvarnished statement ot the facts. [t appears that Young sent Sam- uel D and Franklin Richardt—two of his must unscrupulous minions—to Liverpool, to super- iatend the emigration thence to Salt Lake, of the numerous proselytes made in Europe. fbese men collected a large sum of money trom the faithful, in sums of £53 each, which was to purchase wagons and other outfit for the passage frou New York to Utah—each sum of providing for a family—or it the man had none, for himself and associates. A party of about 2,590 souls collected under this arrange meat, set sail with their faces toward ‘- Zion.”’ On their arrival on the frontier they were in- formed that Brother Brigham had received a revelation from Ged, directing that in order to | try their faith and thus test who were worthy the honors gf the fai-bful, they shou!d journey to Salt Lake in hand-cart trains ! Accordingly, their pilots and leaders—filled with the grace acquired at the fect of their Prophet Briguam—kindly purchased thtghand- carts for them, at a cost of cight dollars each, and generously put them at di of the newly arrived brethren at exactly ble that sum. Uf course the entire purty were compelled to go om foot, six to each hand-cart, which they dragged along with its contents, consist- ing of seventeen pounds of bi to each person. All the property of the emigrants, over and above this. they were compelled to throw away, of course—thus losing the little remnant of their saviegs after baving been most religiously robbed of all theircash Now dissensions rose among them, and the result was that tiey did not reach the banks of the Missouri, from whence to start westward, until the Ist of September. j Great Britain and Here, then, they stood, with twelve hundred miles of weary travel on foot before them, and the merciless rigors of a Northern Winter star- ing them in the face. The commonest human- ity would have inspired the leaders of the de luded band to stay their steps until the open- ing Spring. But they seem to have been obli- vious to any such sentiment. They got up another revelation from on high, in which the travelers were bidden onward, and assured that the angels of Lord would be upon their right hand and their left, shielding thet from harm. Thus, twenty-five hundred honest, simple souls, full of honest faith and zeal,—old men and young, gentle women and tender children, plunged into the wilderness, never doubting the resait. Sad to relate, of that entire band, only abeut two hundred frost-bitten, starving and emaciated beings, lived to tell the story of their suffering! Mr. Loba, himself, witnessed the entrance of the survivors—many even of whom, were compelled to submit to the rudest kind of surgery for the amputation of limbs already frozen todeath! Twenty-three hundred of the devoted band had fallen by the way, tortured victims of hunger and cold, some of them in- deed torn by famished wolves, while life still struggled for the victory over famishment and frost: The picture is too horrible to contem- plate—but my informant states that its truth is well attested Strange as it may seem, new victims to the delusions of Mormonism continue to pass up the Missouri, on their way the Valley. Forty fam- ilies of them passed here on the 18th, from St. Louis, on board the steamer Omaha. SRE eae a ee Tax Fine uss or Loxcox.—The ages of tho London firemen range from twenty to sixty ani upwards, and there is one man now in the ser- vice in his seventieth year, quite able to take his tarn on duty with the rest. The men are carefully selected, and full three-fourths of them have been men-of-war’s men. The du- ties these men havo to perform are by no means light, for each man, on the average, has been on duty at the station-house, or on the watch on premises damaged by fire. three days and three nights of the twelve hours each in every week of the past year. This is exclusive of a sortef engine drill for the younger men twice a week, and attendance to clean engines and tools, and repair and il the hose; and of at- tendance and working at fires, whero the men are in the midst of intense heat, steam and smoke, saturated with water, and obliged to stand in elevated situations, exposed to severe and cutting winds, so that they are seen in winter often literally encrusted with ice. The men are sometimes called cut by fires, or alarms of fire, as many as four times in the night. Notwithstanding this hard duty and extreme exposure. the rate of moriality among the firemen is highly favorable. For-the first 13 years of the establishment. the deaths were at the rate of 96 per 10,000 per annum, while for the last 12 years, the mortality has fallen to 70 per 10,000. Both these calculations in- clude deaths by accident, which, in spite of the perilous nature of the employment, are very rare, and have not exceeded 4 in 19,000 in the whole period of 25 years. The higher mortal- ity of the earlier period is attributed, and probably with justice, to the less careful selec- tion; but the moderate rate throughout the whole period of 25 years, is evidently to be at- tributed to the unusual care and attention be- stowed on the comforts and health of the men, who live either at the stations, or in houses provided by the establishment, and subject to careful inspection. The management is in the hands of a committee appointed by the several fire assurance offices, who pay the men liberal- ly, and give them plenty of warm and comfort- able clothing. Tus Borxixe Movstatx.—As is generally known, their is a vein of coal located above water level in the Broad Mountain, about seven miles from this borough and near Hechshers- ville, which for twenty-one years has been on fire. The vein, which contains excellent White Ash Coal, ia some forty feet in thickness. The origin of the fire is attributed to acouple of miners, who having some work to perform in the draft in the depth of winter, built a fire— they being cold—in the gangway. The flames destroying the prop timbers, were carried bya strong current rapidly along the passaze, and the fire communicating to the coal, all subse- quent efforts to extinguish it were ineffectual The men were cut offfrom eseape, and undoubt- edly suffocated todoeath. Their remains were never found. A few days since we ascended the mountain at the spot of the fire, and were muchinterested inexamintiog the eflect of the firo upon the surface. The course of itisfrom west to east, and where the vein is nearest the sur- face, the ground is for the space of several hun- dred feet sunken into deep pits, and while the stones exhibit cvidonce of having been exposed to the action of intense heat, every vestige of vegetation has been blasted. It is a desert track in the midst of smiling fertility. The ground in some places was almost too warm for the hand to rest upon, while steam from water heated by the internal fire, rose from every pore. The fire has cvidently extended for several hundred yards from the place it originated, and finds vent and air tocontinue its progress, at the pits to which we have alluded. A seore years has ed, stillit barns, and will until further fuel is denied the devouring ele- ment. Thousands of tons of Coal have un- doubtedly been consumed, and thouaands of tons may yet feed the fire before it is checked.— Miners’ Journal, (Pottsville, Pa.) April Wh fg The most interesting, to housekeepers, of all fish is the common shad. which may be regarded not only ag a source of wealth but as a miraclo of nature in its multiplication and continuance. Notwithstanding thousands of myriada are destroyed by the agency of man, and tens of thousands of myriads in the ora state, we find an undiminished abundance year after year, which eau only be accounted for by their extraordinary ereative ability. They spawn about forty-five thousand to each female. hey ascend our rivers from the Ist of April to the 10th of June. for the purpose of spawning, which they accomplish in the same manner that bass do, except that the male fails to cover the ova. This necessary operation is performed by the ebbing and flowing tide. The organization of this fish, says Mr. Pell, enables it to breathe either salt or fresh water, and, taking advant- age of this fact, I have been enatind to breed them in ponds, and, from numerous experi- ments, am led to believe that shad live but a single year, and thus, when they pass down our rivers, after spawning, they are 0 weak and emaciated that they tall an easy prey to vora- cious fish. They take the circuit of the sen, commencing in the regions of the North Pole, in sebools sqsnlting in extent the whole of rance. When they reach the coast of Georgia they separate into im. mense squadrons, and, as the season advanees, run up all the rivers on our coast, followed a liit'e later by the herring. The shad lives upon gaction, and feeds upon the animalculw in the water, while swimming. Food has never been discovered in the" body of shad when opened, and they never bite a baited hook. TPA few days ago, says au English r, 8 couple residing in the neighborhood of Br ide- stowe, Devon, went to the parish church to be marriel. The bridegroom, instead of taking | his intended bride at the church door and ac- companying her to the altar, walked thither with the bride’s sister who was one of the bridesmaids. The bride appeared to have thought that ber intended husband had changed bis mind at the last moment, and she pie into a pew in a very dejected state of mind. The eduncare recedes, and it was not until the clergyman came to the important question, “Wilt thou have this Woman to be thy wedded wife””’ that the bridegroom was conscious of higmistake. He then looked round the church, with astonishment, and exclaimed, i hisis the wrong maid, sir!’ The right maid was soon found; the ceremony was again commenced, and the maid was married to the right man, much to the satisfaction of all parties.
