NEW YORK HERALD. kk, Sundsy, April 3, 1562, ne Mormons-A Leaf from Joe Smith, We give in this day’s paper, a very curious chap- ter from the “Beo of Abraham,” which we find published in the last number of a weekly journal, alled the “Times and Seasons,” conducted by Jc Smith the great Mormon Prophet, in the city Nauvoo, Hancock county, Llinois. The Prophet says that it was fouad in the i combs of Egypt, but he is mistaken ia this dea.— The article was discovered, we presume by Joseph Smith, the grandfather, near one of the propylons of Medinet Abu,'in the “City of the Sun,” ia Upper Egypt. The same city which Homer says had one hundred gates. Champollion, Young, Rosselini, and Various other antiquariaas give notices of the magnihcent ruins, in red granite, that are strewn over the banksof the Nile. Be all this as it may, the Prophet of Nauvoo has given the chapter, and it is set down as a revelation among the Mormons. This Joe Smith is undoubtedly,one of the greatest characters of the age. He indicates as much talent, originality, and moral courage as Mahomet, Odin, or any of the grea: spirits that have hitherto produ- ced the revolutions of pastages. In the present in- fidel, irreligious, material, ideal, geological, animal- magnetic age of the world, some such singular pro- phet as Joe Smith is required to preserve the prin- ciple of faith, and to plant some new germs of civi- lization that may come to maturity in a thousand years. While modern philosophy, which believes in nothing but what you can touch, is overspread- ing the Atlantic States, Joe Smith is creating @ spiritual system, combined also with morals and in- dustry, that may change the destimy of the race.— Joe believes himself divinely inspired and a worker of miracles. He cures the sick of diseases—so it is said:—and although Joe is not aware of the faet, we have been informed by a medical man that his in- fluence over nervous disorders, atises from a pow- erful magnetic influence—that Joe is a magaet ina large way, which he calls a power or spirit from heaven. In other respects Joe is a migaty man of God—possessing large stores of humaa nature— great shrewdness, aud as he has taken the manage- ment of the Mormon newspaper organ, the ‘Times and Seasons” into his hand, we look for many re- velations, and some curious ones too, pretty soon. We certainly want some such prophet to start up, take a big hold of the public mind—and stop the torrent of materialiem that is hurrying the world into infiedility, immorality, licentiousness, and crime. Professor Lyell, Richard Adams Locke, Ds. Bris- bane, Master Emmersoa, Prophet Brownson, Ho- race Greely, and all the materialists of the age, ‘ought to take a leaf of common sense out of Joe's book. Tae Sreaminir of War Missounr.—Tue Ta- xine Her To Sea sy 4 New York Pitor.—On Fri- day last,one of our expert New York pilots, Gregory Thomas, of the pilot boat Washington, took the steamship Missouri safely to sea in fiae style — When off the point of the Hook, Captain Newton asked the pilot to point out some place where he could obtain some sand to scrub the decks with. The pilot pointed out a spot ; on which the captain had the engines stopped, and sent a boat on shore, to get a boat load of sand. In the meantime the ship remained off the point of the Hook, and made acirele of a mile, came back to the same poist, picked up her boat, and went eff on her trip tri- umphantly. And yet, out of this circumstance the Journal of ‘Commerce, and other Wall street p2pers, manufac- ‘tured a most infamous falsehood—stating that the pilot ran the Missouri ashore on the point of the Hook, and that she remained there one hour. This scandalous story is characteristic of the impudence and ignorance with which the Wall street papers make assertions against the New York pilots and those who eupport them; and is characteristic of the whole of the impudent, recklees ignorance, and unblushing conduct of the Wall street press. We advise the pilot, Mr. Gregory, to commence an ac tion against the Wall street papers ; for if this is not a case forexemplary damages, then we don’t know what is. And now is the time for Congress to attend to this subject; thisis a specimen of the way in which the whole of the slanders agaiast the New York pilots have been get up; and the above is also a sample of what foundation there has been for the whole of them. Congress must do them justice. More Livevs.—In the “ Commercial” of last eve- ning, there is a long, bitter, malevolent article, writ- ten by Co]. Stone,in which he utters probably a dozen libels agaist courts, juries, individuals, and every thing. These indictments seem to annoy the Colo- nel very much-~and he is evidently afraid of the re- sult. Well—he must lay in the bed he has made for himself. But it is amusing to hear Stone talk of “persecution,” and blubber like a school boy—to hear such a man do so, who for years has been one of a clique that carried pe-secution against us, mere- ly because we were successful in business, to the uttermost ead of a bitter and malignant heart. Will not somebody send Stone a bottle of wine and a box of segars, to cheer up his spirits ? Will his neighbor, the Prince of Coney Island, think of this sugges. tion ?

Avsany, April 1, 1842. His excellency Gov. Sewanp, appears likely to become as renowned for the exercise of the veto power, as Capting Tyler. His second vete was sent in to the Senate yesterday afternoon, with the Crimival Court repeal bi'l. It was not wholly un- expected, however, and therefore did net cxcite mueh surprise. Judges Noah and Lynch are, there- fore, safe fer another year, at any rate. We shall have another document of asimilar character from him, ina day or twe, in,the matter of the bill pro- viding for the PublicgPrinting. Mr, O’Sucxivan’s bill for,the abolition of Capi- t.1 Punishment,'was rejected in the House yester- day. Mr. O'S. moved a reconsideration cf the vote, but Mr. Hoffman moved that the question of reconsideration lie on the table, which was agreed to. Although Mr. O’Sullivan’s long speeches on the subject had completely wearied the patience of the house, and probablyjtended as much as any thing else to defeat the measure, I cannot but think that the “ Admiral” departed from his usual courtesy, in his treatment of Mr. O'S. on this oc- casien, He might, at least, have allowed the ques- tion on reconsidering to be taken. The State Prison bill, had its third reading, and after some debate was passed. It, will most uo- doubtedly receive the sanction of the Senate and become a law. In the "Assembly to-day, a large number of re- ports from standing and select committees were re ceived Mr. Lorr called up the question on agresing, with the report of the sclect committee in relation to the support of foreign poor inthe county of Kinge. Mr. Townsenv had no objection ito the Lill re- ported by the committee, if it provided that foreign paupers who landed in any port in the county of Kinks, and came upon the city of New York for suppert,&c. He thought the ‘principle shorld be made universal. Mr. Lorr remarked, after alluding to the former laws on the subject of foreign poor, that in the poor house of the county of Kings,there were 700 foreign aupers, of which number 1(8 had been commuted for, and the money paid to the city of New York. This money was levied for the support of foreign poor, andall the county of Kings asked was the right to notify the city of New York of this fact, and torequire them to support these paupers, who were thus commuted for and bonded for. He hoped, therefore, the report of the committee would be agrecd to. Mr. D. R. Jones thought if this bill passed, that a provision should be added providing for the levying of more taxes. The tax bill had already been passed, and there was no funds in the treasury ef the city to, meet the additional expense that would fall upon’the city by the passage of this bill. Mr. J. offered an amendment to thi fe Mr. Scorr replied, and the que first on the question of recommitting the bill with instructions so to amend, and lost; then on amend- ing the repo.t, lost also. The house then agreed with the report of the c:mmittee. The House then took up the bill for the improve- ment of the Militia System. Mr. Gaurrin took the floor in favor of the bill In explanation of the bill, he remarked that it pro- posed to reduce the term of service required of uniform companies from fifteen to twelve years Congress has passed laws for arming the militia, and has appropriated money for that object. The arms were to be distributed among the militia, and not shut up in the arsenais. This is what this law proposed to carry intoeftect. This bill requires a man to do two days ser in each year, and (hen exempts him from one day's highway labor,leavin, only one day lost in tary duty. Mr.G allude: to the Albany Burgesses Corps, as an example to what perfection the volunteer corps had arrived in their drill, and argued from that the advantage to be derived from excouraging and fistering the militia : Mr. Davesac advocated the bill. He compli- mented and eulogized the services and value of the militia, Ile was in favor of encouraging the for- mation cf voluntecr corps, There were plenty of young men, who wouldalways be found ready to join these corps—encourage this propensity.— This bill provides for the equipment and organiz.a- tion of a force of 20,000 men. Mr. D. proceeded in his eulogy of the militia and argued in favor of the adoptioa of the bill, but opposed the pending amendment providing that each soldier and officer should receive three dollars per diem. Mr. Davis opposed the amendment. He knew that the rich escaped the burthen of the militia duty. It was borne by the poor Twenty five years experience hal chown him this. It was al- ways the counter jumper, and the like, who were found skolking from its performance, and sneering at the “barefoots,” ‘floodwood,” &c., as they sneeringly termedthem Willingly then would he go for paying the militia, if the state was in a cen- cition todo it. It would involve an expenditure of at least $140,000 per annam, and how could it be raised? Would the gentleman who proposed this am:ndment (Mr. Simmons) have the state officers steal the money, Mr. Simaons.—Levy a tax. Mr. Baxex was in favor of the law of 1840. The debate was continued at length, when the:question was taken, on the final passage of the bill, and it passed. During the debate, the house was con: Lare Fine.—Now is the time forall our churches | valsed with laughter by an incidental occurrence, to take up « collection in behalf of the sufferers by the late fire ; the distress in many instances, has been very great and mostly among the poor and the industrious. Now we shall see who has any prac- tical piety.

Mr. Cuvacn, of Orleans, was, in the course of his remarks, somewhat severe in his allusions to the ruflt gentry, and federalism. When he sat down, it appears that bis earnest motions dur his speech had worked his own ruffles out, and discovered him to be the only ruifle shirted man in the House. Upen discovering it, they were speed ty replaced, and the gentleman overwhelmed with confusion, bs Mr. Simmons alluded to the circumstanee, and the House were completely overcome with the ludicrousness of the incident, and throwing dignity aside for the nonce, abandoned themse! to the cachinatory motion, from which hoany 6 did not re- cover until ve er Shem to order by theSpesk er.

Tue Boox or Apranas. ‘ In the land of the Chaldeans, at. the residence «! my father, I, Abraham, saw that it was needful for me to obtain another place ot residence, and finding there was greater happiness and peace and rest for me, I aotaht for the blessings of the fathers and the right whereunto | should be ordained to administer the same ; having been myself a follower of right- | eousness, desiring elso to be one who possessed great knowledge, and to b greater follower of righteousness, to posse: greater knowledge, and te be a father of many nations, a prince ot ‘ace ; and desiring to receive instructions, and t freep the commandments of God, I became a righ’ ful heir, a high priest, holding the right belonging the fathere, it was conferred upon me from the { thers; it came down from the fathers, from the be ginning of time, yea, even from the beginning, 01 before the foundations of the earth, to the present time, even the right of the first born, on the first man, who is Adam, or first father, through the fa- thers, untome, : 2. I sought for mine appoiatment unto the Priest hood according to the appointment of God unto the fathere, concerning the eeed. My fathers having turned from their righteousness, and from the holy commandments which the Lord their God had given upon them unto the worshipping of the Gods of the heathen, utterly refused to hearken to my voice ; for their hearts were set to do evil, and were wholly turned to the God of Elkenah, and the God of Libnah, and the God cf Mahmackrah, and the God of Korash, and the God of Pharaoh, King of Egypt ; therefore they turned their hearts to the sacrifice of the heathen in offering up their children unto their du:nb idols, and hearkened not unto my voice but endeavored totake away my life by the hand of the priest of Iikenah ; the priest of ilke- nah wes also the priest of Pharaoh. 3. Now, at this time it was tke custom of the priest of Pharaoh, the King of Egypt to offer up upon the altar which was built in the land of @hal- dea, forthe eff ring unto these strange Gods, both men, women and children. And it come to pass thatthe priest made an offering unto the God of Pi oh, and alzo unto the God of Shagreel, even after the manner of the Egyptians Now the God of Shagreel was the Sun Even the thank offering of a child did the priest of Pharaoh offer upon the | stood by the hill called Potiphar’s Hill, atthe head of the plain of Ohshem, Now, this priest had offered upon this altar three virgins at onetime, who were the daughters of Onitah, one of the Royal descent, directly from the luins of Ham. These virgins were offered up because of their virtue ; they would not bow down to worship Gods of weod or otf stone, therefore they were killed upon this eltar, and it was dege afver the man- ner of the Egyptians. " 4. And it come to pass that the priests laid vio- lence oy me, that they mig) y me, also, as they did those virgine, upon this and that you might have a knowledge of this altar, I will refer you to the representation at the commencement of this record. It was made after the form of a bed- stead, such as was had among the Chaldeans, and it stood before the gods of Kikenah, Libnah, Mah- mackreh, Korash, and also a God like unto that of Pharaoh King of Egypt. That you may have an understanding of these Gods, | have given you the fashion of them the figures, at the beginning, which masner of the figures is called by the Chui- deans Rahleenos, which signifies Hyeroglyphies. 5. And as they lifted up their hands upon me, that they mght offer me up and take away my life, behold [lifted up my voice uate the Lord my God ; and the Lord hearkened and heard, and he filled me with a vision of the Afmighty, and the angel of his preserce stood by me, and immediately unloosed my, bands, and his voice was unto me, Abram! Abram! behold, my name is Jenovau, and 1 have heard thee, and have come down to deliver thee, and to take thee away from thy father’s house, and from all thy kin-folks, into a strange land, which thou knowest not of, and this because they have turned their hearts away from me, to worship ihe God of E kenah, andthe God of Libnah, tand the God of Mahmackrah, and the God of Korash, and the God of Pharaoh King of Egypt therefore I have come down to yisit them, and to destroy him who hath lifted up his hand against thee, Abram, my 200, to take away thy life. Behold 1 will lead thee by my hand, and I will take thee, to put upon thee my name, even the priesthood of thy father; and my power shall be over thee; as it was with Noah so shall it be with thee; that through thy min- istry my name shall be known in the earth forever, for Tam thy God. 4 6, Behold, Potipher’s Hill was in the land of Ur, of Chaldea ; and the Lord broke down the altar of Elkenah, and of the Gods of the land, and utte rly eestroyed them, and smote the priest that he died; and there wes great mourning in Chaldea, and a'so in the court of Pharaoh, which Pheraoh tignifies King by royal blood. Now this King of Ezypt was a descendant from the loins of Ham, and was a par taker of the blood of the Canaanites, by birth.— From this descent sprang all the Egyptians, and thus the blood of the Canaanites was preserved in the land. ‘ i 7. The land of Egypt being first discovered by a woman who was the daughter of Ham, and the daughter of Egyptus, which,in the Chaldea,sigcities Egypt, which signifies, that which is forbidden.— When this woman discovered the land it was un- der water, who afterwards setiled her sons in it; And thus, from Ham, sprang that race which pre- served the curse in the land. Now the first govern- ment of Exypt was established by Pharaoh, the eld- es son of Egyptus, the daughter of Ham, aud it wee afier the manner of the government of Ham, which was Patriarchal. Pharaoh, being a righteous m: tablished his kingdom and judged his people wisely and justly ail hisdoya, seeking earnestly ta imitate that order established by the fathers in the first gene- rations, in the days of the first Patriarchal reign, even in the reigaj of Adam, and also Noah. father, who blessed him with the blessings of the d with tne blessings of wisdom, but cursed him as pertais.ing tothe Priesthood. 8 Now Pharaoh being of that lineage, by which he could not have the right of Priesthood, notwith standing the Pharaoh’s would fain claim it from ih, through Ham, therefore my father wes led y by their idolatry ; but shall endeavor here- to delineate the chronology, running back from myself to the beginning of the creation, for the re cords have come inte my hands, which I hold unto this present time. A / 9. Now, after the priest of Elkenah was smitten, that he died, there came a fulfilment of those things which were said unto me concerning the land of there should be a famine im the land famine prevailed throughout all the idea, and my father was sorely torment- the famine, and he repented of the had determined against me, to take awav my life. But the records of the fathers, even the Patriarchs, concerning the right of Priesthood, the Lord ay God preserved in mine own hands, therefore a knowledge of the beginning of the crea- tion, and also of the planets, and of the Stars, ag they were made known unto the fathers, have I kept even unto this day, and I shall endeavor to write come of se (things upon this record, for the ben y posterity that shall come after me 1 ie Lord God caused the famine to wax { of Ur, insomuch that Haran, my d at ‘Terah, my father, yet lived » the Jand r, of the Chaldee’s. “Aad it came to pass that I, Abraham, tock Sarai to wife, and Nehor, my brother, took Mileah to wife, who were the daughters of Haran. Now the Lord had said unto me, Abram, get thee out of thy coun- try ond from thy kiudred, and from thy father’s unto a land that I will shew thee. There- eft the land of Ur, of the Chaldees, to go a Canaan; and I took Lot,my brother's » my wife, and also my fter me, unto the land which we r an. And the famine abated ; and my ced in Haran and dwelt there, as there were mavy flocks inHaran; and my father tarned again unto his idolatry, therefore he continued in Haran. 11. But I, Abram, and Lot, my brother’s son, prayed unto the Lord, and the Lord appeared unto me, and said unto me, arise, and take Lot with thee, for I have purposed to take thee away out of Haran, and to make of thee a minister, to bear my name inastrange land which I will give unto thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession, when they harken to my voice, for 1 am the Lord th God; I dwell in Heaven, the earth is my footstool; I stretch my hand over the sea, and it obeys my voice ; I cause the wind and the fire to be my cha- riot; Tsay to the mountains depart hence, and be- hold they are taken away by a whirlwind, in an io- stant, suddenly, ay name is Jehovah, and I know the end from’ the beginuing, therefore, my hand shall be over thee, and 1 wi!l make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee above measure, and make thy name great among all nations, and thou shalt be a blessing unto thy seed after thee, that in their hands they shall bear this ministry and priest- unto all nations ; and I will bless them through thy name ; for as many as receive this gespel shail be called after thy name, and shall be accounted thy seed, and shall rise up and bless thee, as unto their frther,and I will bles: them that bless thee,and curse them that curse thee,and in thee, (that is,in thy Priest- hood,) and in thy seed, (that is, thy Priesthood:) for I give unto thee a promise that this right shall continue in thee, and in thy seed after thee (that is to say, the literal seed, or the seed of the body,) shall all the families of the earth be blessed, even with the blessings of the gospel, which are the blessings of salvatien, even of life eternal. 12. Now, after the Lord had withdrawn from ing to me, and withdrawn face from me, I suid in mine heart, thy servant hassought thee earn- estly, now J have found thee. Tsou didst send thine angel to deliver me from the Gods of E'kenah, and I will do weil to hearken unto thy voice, therefore let thy servant rise up and depart in peace. So I, Abrain, departed as the Lord had said unto me, and Lot with me; and 1,Abram,was sixty and two years old when I departed out of Haran, And I ‘tock Sarai, whom | took to wife when [ was in Uy, in Chaldea, and Lot, my brother’s son, and all our substance that we had gathered, and the souls that we had won in Haran, and came forth inthe way toths land of Canaan, and dwelt in tents, as we came on our way; therefore, eternity was our co- vering, and our rock, and our salvation, as we jour- neyed from Haran by the way of Jershon, to come to the Jand of Canaan. 13. Now I, Abram, bui!t an altar in. the land of Jershon, and made an offe: got the Lord, and prayed that the famine might be turned away frout my father’s house, that they might not perish; and then we passed from Jershoa through the land, unto the place of Sechem. It was situated in the lains of Moreh, and we had already came into the orders of the land of the Canaanites, and I offered sacrifice there in the plains of Moreh, and called on the Lord devoutly because we had already come into the land of this idolatrous nation.
