MOVEMENTS OF THE PRESIDENT.—The Pres- ident, accompanied ty Mrs. Grant,Governor Stearns, wife amd daughter, Senator Cragin, Chief Justice Barly, and several others reached the Concerd House in the White mountains early Thureday might. At all the stations along the route immense crowds of people were assembled and were allowed a few minutes for an introduction. At Plymouth the party were received by Senator Samuel DV. Craig, of Boston, and a committee of guests of the Pemig- ewasset Houce. A Presidential salute was fired, and a large concourse of citizens of Ply- mouth were assembled in front of the hotel, The President appeared on the balcony, and ‘was received with applause. After meeting the guests of the hotel in the parlor, the Presiden- al party sat down to an elegant dinner At half-past twelve the party resumed the journey, passing through the villages ef Rum- ney, Wentworth, Warren, Woodsville, Bata, and Lisbon. At each place the people had turned out em masse, receiving the Presideat Wath cheers, salutes and ringing of bells. At three o'clock the train reached Littleton, and the President there passed about twenty minutes in a drive through the town. The party then leit, the President leading the way, the rest following um two s.x-horse coaches. At Betblehem the party were entertained at a Junch at the Sinclair House.

The call for a convention ia St. Lonts, to consider the question of ths removal ef the batonal capial to that city, is not meoting onse so desirable as ‘with the unauimous res} ‘withoutan effort, corsemt to have is clai ignored, and with one accord endorse stock-jobbing proposition of the enterprising city oh the Mississippl. The idez of a geo- graphical center for a capital, or a c-nter of Population er of commerce, is good, but neither ts conclustve in itself. Ovker nalions as great @nd as prosperous asour Own Rave existed, and yet comtinue, Where capitale are situated very far from tbe geographicil center. Lon- don, Parre and St. Petersburg answer & goca purpose for capitals, yet neither is the cemter of pationsl territory, trade or population. We do not affirm that the time may not come when the national capital sheuld be moved to &@ more-central location; but certainly that time prego ps arrived. The precesses of expan- sion and annexation are .ot yet completed; migration is moving the carter of popelation continually; our State or national boundaries are by no means fixed; new States are eack year being added on the West or Southwest; other territory will be acquired from Mexico cn the South, and the Camadas on the North—mines otmineral wealth yet undiscovered will dircct or divert the tide of immigration. We are in brief only in a formative state, and our center as nowhere. @ay Cincinnati or Lo ile 13 nearer the center of population than any other Prominent point or pointe, while geogr: cally Omaha even too far eastward. e annexation of Cuba or Mexico would move the geographical center southward toward Sapta Fe, amd the center of population to- ward Memphis or New Orleins. Waoen Canada becomes ours Detroit will be cen- tral, both mameriealiy and geographically. With all these forming, changing elements and prob:bilities, it is folly to talk of fixing a suit- able location for e new capital. A work of this kind, if done at all, must be well done— not in the mterest of eny locality or for the benefit of stock jobbers or speculators, but doue for general benefit of the nation, and an- changeable fof all fature time. Im our present condition as @ ration it is worse than folly to maugurate this new enterprise. Aside trom the want of unanimity necessary to secure the best results, there is no pressing urgency just now why this question should be spruog; and hence we notice with pleasare that Gov- erner Barker refased to lend to the scheme bis official sanction. lf the distinguished author of the Attica letter were Governor of Indiana it is probable that he would favor the schem if for no other reason than the realizatio! of the proposition which he ® score of yea ago brought forward in behalf of abolition. The gentleman referred to proposed, in case of the failure to secure the abolition of slavery in the Distric: of Colambia, to advocate the re- moval of the Capital to free soil, and we re- member the wood cuts ef the time as reprezent- ing the valiant autoor of the sentment actua! ly tugging at the Oapitsi with a rope, from 1 stately dome. to drag it to the of the truly free. “It was a somewhat novel way to adver- lise the call to ask the Governors of the Sta es to appoint delegates, and a secure representatives in ti charged to the want of appreci mode of these distinguis any committee of arrangements bas a right to issue their call in any way they desire, but this taxing of official station, and semi-c: mittal to the scheme is, at least, very pecul The preseat effort is entirely in the in- teres. of S:. Louts, and it is yery doubtful Whether sufficient sid can be securea trom the various sections ef the Union to properly de-ignate it as national movement. Soiar us we know. there has never been an important assemblage in thecountry, or a sin- gle Svate Legislature, which has’ declared specially for St. Louis as the locaton best Suited ior national purposes, and hence it seems somewhat over anxious tocall a Uon- vention of States in that ctty to forward tis particular p! If a Conyeation of the States held in Chicago, innati or Detroit were to declare in favor of St. Louis, the declaration would carry weight and might, perhaps, io- finence legisistion in that direction, bat all action of the forthcoming convention for the same locality will be so much mixed with fine drives, cellar stores and city hospitality that much of their force will te lost. A new capl- tal for this nation must be absolutely .ree trom all local or sectional schemes, or private ad- vantage. An area sufficiently large for all present and prospective wants should be ee- jected and the title vested in the General Gov- ernment.

These elevated grounds ‘were bought up by speculators as soon as the site was selected, so that even the Government itself was driven to the marsnes in the rear of the Capitol, to escape the extortion of lard sharks. All this may be easily avoiaed in the future location. When our national bound. aries have become somewhat definitely estad- lished; when our population shall have, ina great measure, ceased to migrate, and assum~4 the fixed babits and habitations of older nations, then it will be proper to select some suitaple site for a new capital, situated as near as can properly be done to the center area, the center of population, and the center of trade.

Tourists, pressed for time, are therefore apt wo content themselves with a distant view of the lake, and take the various tales of its wonder- ful qualities for granted. This seemed like'y to be our case, bat on mentioning our difficulty to Mr. Cannon, of the Deserct News, whose in- telligemt courtesies had previously aided us ereatly in seeing what there was of interest in Utan, be intormed us that anew roate to the lake bad been recently developed by which ic couid be reached by a short and pleacan’ trip of ten miles. He followed up this agreeable intelligence by offering to pilot us to the spot andearly the next morning he summoned us from the Townsend House for the interesting trip. We tound his comfortable carriage pro- vided with all tne appliances for Salt Lake ex- cursionizing that his experience and by :pita- bie ideas could suggest. These included the usual bathing requisites aad also a number of broad-brimmed bathing hats to proect our beads and shoulders from tne par.icularly eLective rays of the sun as experivazed on the borders of the lake; also @ very complete outfit for pic-nicing purposes of which more anor. Our journey was partly by tie usual traveled road bat we soon lef: it and its plind- ing dust and then our way was through some pleasant lanes and green fields to the wa‘ers of the lake. On the route we passed a specimen of the mud-wall built around the city in 1552 88 a procecton against the Indiers. It was about nine miles in leng:h, twelve feet b and six feet thick at the base. A Cur’ Feature of Sait Lake. it is a singular fact that Salt Lake has within the las. half dozem years risen some nine feet: and the point we visited is sub merged farm- ing land, the fences of which are sti!i standing in the water. Far up the b'!l-sides, bounding the volley, may beseen the well- narked water- line showing the height formerly reached by the lake. Should it ever reach a similar height the Mormon problem will be so!ved. so var as Salt Lake City is concerned, by the burial of the place an hundred fee: or more under the brine. The Mormons account for the rise in the lake by the unusual amount of cloudy and raimy weather of late years by which the pro- cess of evaporation hus baea retarded; bat as they seem to couat also upon 8 permasent in- erease m the raim-fall of the vailey in conse- qveoce of its being brought into cult: vation, the same ceuses Which have produced tne present Tise in the lake may continue to opera’ uatil it Pas overcome the moderate elevation of the ty above it. 3 salt Lake has four rivers of considerable sive. constantly contributing their waters to well its buik, and yet it has no outlet what- ever—at least no visible outte:. Under hot unclouded suns the work of evaporation is undoubtedly rapid over its broad extent of 40) by 120 miles. but any change in the atmo.pheric conditions to arrest this evaporation may change the whole aspect of affairs in the valley in a few years. The Jake has a number of mountainous islands, more like the bold, rugged islands of the Mediterranean in picturesque effect, prob- ably, tban any others in the country. These, ‘with the wonderful indigo blue of the wavers, the rich cultivated valley, and the background of snowy mountains, make up a pictareof va- Tied and striking beauty. Hundreds of gulls and snipe occapied the shore as we drove up, and seemed disinclined to move, affording a tempting opportunity for a shot had we been provided with guns. On alighting some of our party found some interesting specimens ef the horned toad nopping about in the The water of the lake appeared clear at a little dis- tance, but on a closer view it was found to be perfectly alive with a whitish semi-transpar- ent animalcule, and the sbores of the lake ‘were covered with the dead insects in such numbers as to make @ sort of scurf. The in. sects were from half to two-thirds of an inch in length, shrimpish in shape, and as lively as vinegar eels, affording rather a striking contra. diction to the writers who have set down Salt Lake as utterly destitute of animal lite. Oa entering the water for a swim our host warned Us to beware of letting the brime enter the mouth, nostrils or ears, as 1t would causeacute Pain in consequenee of its strength, bat the novelty of our experiences in attempting to Keep the body under water were so novel that ats of wonder and explosions of laughter greeted every new effort and catastrophe, and soon to all this was added the spitting, eputter- ing and sneezing {rom the introduction of the pungent water to the nose aud mouth. It caused violent bieeding of the nose with some, and we all bad occasion to remember the briae with some depth of feeling. ‘The water of Salt Lake, according to Stans. bury, contains more than twenty per cent. of chloride of sodium, and ts specific gravity is greater than thatof any other body of water except the Dead Sea.

The water flows from the moun- tain side in a strong stream, forming a large pool, and the waste goes off to forma pretty little Iake, known as Hot Spring Lake, much resorted to in the summer for boating and in winter for skating.

A story is told of an Irishman who mis.ook this Boiling Spring for the Warm Spring, nearer the city, and undertook to have a n‘ce, Tefresbing little bath all by bimself. He was warned against the under’aking. but he took the notion into bis head that the Mormons did not want him to bathe in their flne spring, and in he went. In a twinkimg there was a roar from that quarter that bromght the whole neighborhood to the resen®, and he was fished oat nearly dead, but still firm in the conviction that he “could stand anything that any d—d Mormon could !”” The Mormon Cemetery. In mounting one of the Dills nearest to the city to get a view of the valley we passed through the Mormon cemetery. It was alto- gether the most desolate, upst-ractive resting place for the dead I ever saw. It was ona barren hill side, Iaid out without regard to wslks, and overgrown with weeds and wild sage. There were no trees, p!ants. or flowers, or any of the usual marks of affection shown by the living for those dear in life, with the single exception of a wreath of withered ‘low- ers over a little grave, the tribate of some mother apparently to the memory ofter child Many of the graves were unmarked, a large Proportion had wooden head-boards, and in many instances the boards were lettered only with the initials of the deceased, as “T. D. no other inscription whatever. Doubtless the poverty of many of the Mormons may account Partly tor this state of things; but the neglected condition of the grounds,and the slight attention paid to the graves marked by more pretentious rves to show more conclusive- most anything else I have seen here how polygamy tends to blunt and scatter the family affections. A Mormon father with the marital and paternal aifecti divided among adozen wives and two or three sore of children, can hardly be expected to feel more individual interest in them than in the stock in his barn-yard; and the numerous mem- bers of nis different housholds must feel the same infinitesimal regard for him and tor each other. Brigham Young professes not to be able to remember even the number or the names of his different wives. Ifa Mormon husband is 80 oblivious of his wives in life it 1s hardly probable he will trouble himse!f much about them after they are dead. In one instance there was a tine of eulogy for a deceased wife “To the memory of ‘y Jene Webb Cand- land, wife of David Candlond, »red2! years. “Whar woman should be sue was. Bat, quite mpartially, the next head-board i 2ars the inscription “In memory of Mary Ann K. Oandiand, wife of David Candiand. She was all that we could ask woman to be— a faithful wife.” in another piace there were four hitle graves in 8 row, children of three wives— “Paschal M.,son of Phebe and E. B. Tripp.” “Bartlett, son of Jessess and E. B. Tripp. “Charles A., son of Phebe and E. B. Tripp.” “Arnold O., son of Sophia ana E. B. Tripp.” Elsewhere were inscriptions telling th= story of the death of two children of different mothers, torn in the same year snd dying the next, audeach dying in the same month of the year it was born— “Haeriow Marini Eldridge. Born Dec. 12, 1851. Died Dec. 22, 152." “Charles Ursula Eldridge. Born Nov. 1851. Died Noy. 25th, 1862.” The inscriptions served to show how varied are the nationalities drawn npon to make up this Mormon commanity. There were a num- ber of Swedish names. Onestone was lettered— «In memery of Karira Yanson. Born in Swe- der, Oct. 1, 1504. Died in L. City Ap. 1865.” On the reverse—“Mine Karna Jonson.” There was the name of “Mariah Antinett;” and near by was astone,+‘In memory of Samuel L. H. Davis, born in Neath, South Wales, and killed while digging a well in the 11th ward.’’ The most conspicuous monument in the yard was—In memory of Jacob Gooding. Born in Fairfax county, Va., June 1i, 1832. Died at Deep Creek, Utan Terr., Dec. 17, 1862, aged 31 years. This monument was erected as a tri- bute ef reepect and admiration for his charac- ter by the officers and employees of the Over- jand Mai Co., of which he was Superinten- dent.” ib, Miscellaneous. — The Mormoh elders deny as utterly ridicu- lous the stories to the effect that Brigham Young uses the monies of the church without responsibility, and that he has alarge amouat invested on bis own accouutin the Bank of England. They say that his power is a mora! one, and that it would be utterly destroyed if there was any reason to suspe. tbat the funds of the Mormon Church were misappropriated by him. The Mormon Coancil is composed of men of capacity, perfectly conversant with the amount of revenues received by the church and aware of the disposition made of them: the greater part going to the work of prose- lytism throughout the werld. But Brigham Young has great business capacity and makes money abundantly on his own hook. He basa finger in almost every business enterprise ia the valley, factories, co-operative stores, raii- roads, and theatres (ala Fisk, Jr.,) and would be the lact man in the world to let any capital Me idle in the Bank of England when he can use it so profitably athome.

Vehicles of ail descrip ons, bear- ing the Harvard and Oxford colors, and heayi- ly isden with people, crowded all the roads leasing to the Course, and durmg the entire day the roads in the vicinity of Patwey, Ham- mersmith, Cheswick, Barnes, Mortlake, &c., ‘were thronged with pedestrians. Tne railway companies foued theinsel yes almovt anable to provide cars suificieot to carry the vast num- bers in waiting at the depo's. it is no exagger- ation to state that probably a million of people Witnested the race. ‘Tbe course for the race was that known as the Metropolitan, or better as the Putney to Mortlake course. Its length is four miles (wo furlongs. The race Towed upstream. The boats did uot row under Putney bridge, bi started directly above it. The river is about seven bundred feet wide at this point, and the bauks are level aud low along the whole course. For one-third of a mile from the starting piace tbe Tiver is straight, it them curves like the letter U, There are two bridges on the course, the Hammersmith bridge, ope mile and furlongs from Patwey, sud the Barnes railway bridge, three ard a-balf miles trom the start. The course ends at a place called Barker's Raile, where the divection of the river makes another U, in a position the reverse of the first. ‘Toe Harvard crew won thet ss for po-ition, and chose the Misidiesex side, the ontside of the semicircle. Both boats started at 5 o'clock 14 minutes 16} cecou lie tide at the efart was sluggish, and a light south west breeze pre- vailed, with smooth water. The Harvards were first to cxtch the water, and took the lead. gain- ing rapidly upon their opponents and makumug forty-five stroke: per minute, against the Ux- ford’s forty.

The Oxiords now went on wiih a steady drag, but the Americans rapidly increased their fead, and at Orabivee, a mil? and an eighth from the aqueduct. wera couple of lengths ahead. Beyond this point the Har- vards were taken wide. and the Ux‘ords quickening their speed reduced the gap at the scap Worgs,a mile acd a bsif from the start toha’fa length.

After proceeding fifty yards further the Oxfords began to gain, though tsm- porarily, and the Haivards again got even with them, The Oxfords gained rapidly at Coeswick, where it became clear that the race apparertly told om the Harvards, who were rather wild at this part of the race. From this point the Oxfords drew abead, ond ina few strokes obtained a lend of two lengths. The Harvards, rowiag pluckily, held them there for half a mile, when they fell astern, and the Oxfords. at thirty-eight strokes per minute, ype bridge, 3X miles, three lengths ahet Along Barnes’ beach the Harvards refreshed therr stroke, Mr. Loring, with river water, thereby retarding their boat.
