LATER FROM UTAH. THE PROGRESS OF MORMONISM AFFAIRS AT SALT LAKE CITY. We have reeeived our Utah papers to the Ivt of May. The Deseret News, of the latest date, con- tains ceveral items showing the progress of Mor- misma. The following is the last official bulletin published by the officers of the Mormon church, at the city of e Great Salt Lake, to inform the Mormons all over the world how the affairs of the ‘ Church of Latter Day Saints” are progressing: SEVENTH GENERAL EPISTLE OF THE PRESIDENCY OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATYER DAY SAINTS FROM GREAT SALT LAKE VALLEY, TO THE SAINTS SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE EAnril, GREETING : Beloved Brethren—Since the date of our last episile, of Sept. 22d, many things have transpired to cheer our hearts, and encourage the labors of the faithful; and we improve the present moment in presenting our annual salutations to you, that you ‘be conversant with the welfare of Zion, and re- ise in all her rejoicings. L Je past winter bas bean one of unusual mildness 4m these valleys, insomuch that our flocke and herd: so far asthey have been free to range, have fe sumptuously, needing no hay; much wheat has been sown, and at an earlier date than is common im this country; and many buildings have been erected, or finished, since the usual time of closing fall business. The first ‘‘bent’ of our New Tabernacle wos waieed on the 21st of Nov., and the whole shingled and enclosed January 16th, one hundredand twenty- six feet in Jength, and sixty-four in breadth, with three foot walls, the whole in one entirearch sprung from the base. The pulpit is situated near th centre of the west wall, to be entered by an 2uti court or vestry; the slips are asconding on three sides from the pulpit, so that the prospect fur all is equal; and about 2,200 can be pleasantly accom no- dated; the whole completed and dedicated on tne 6th inst , it being the opening of the General Cen- ference; and never were the Saints of Latter Da conveniently and numerously assembled on any pre- vious occasion. A considerable portion of the earth has been ex- eavated, ready for the reception of the wall around the Temple Block, and many stonesare on the ground. ‘The brethren generally have been prompt in paying im one-tenth ef their property, according to their yote of Jast September €onference ; and never be- fore has tho Lord’s Storehouse been so wel! cupplied with wheat, meat, butter, eggs, vegetables, and other useful articles, and his pasture with cattle, as at the present time. There has been very little cash in circulation among us the past year, it having been previously vended in foreign goods, which were necessary fur our comfort ; hut of late, the want of eash to pur- chase importations, has induced the people to enter into domestic manufactures ag fast as possible. A smal) woollen factory in this valley, commenced last year, is expected to go into operation alout mid- Summer ; and another in Utah valley will be ready for this year’s wool Many hand-wheels and looms Ahave been in operation in families, and several thon- sand yards of cloth have been manufactured, beside carpets, mits, stockings, &c. eside the Deseret pottery in this city, another is «pen at Provo, in Utah county, and another is ex ected to commence this summer at Fillmore, in illard county. A machine for manufacturin, eombs is nearly ready for operation. There is a nai factory in operation m Iron county, amother in San Pete, and another building in this city. Building has been materially hindered for want of nails, hi erto, which, we trust, will soon be prevented by the use of domestic machinory. Most of the priavipai settlements are comfortably supplied with 6 mille, and where there is a de building. The number of saw-mills is increas The country is supplied with wooden bowls from a factory at Provo. Tanneries have been commenced at most of the Peinsipel settlements ; and at some, two or three; and after another season fur pecling bark, the peet will be good for a supply of domestic jeather. The iron ore, at Coal creek, in Iron county, has ‘been tested, and proved to be of an excellent qu ty, though but litile has been done for want of coal, anabundance of which is on the mountain near by, but inaccessible to teams, until a road can be made, for which there have been some . public appropria- ti jons. The Deseret News, whieh was suspended for ! of paper, commenced its second SieEN Nov. 15, nan enlarged sheet, and has exerted a saintary influence on the subject of domestic manufrety and there is a general exertion among the po produce the various articles needed for th sumption; and chairs, tables, stands, barrels, knives, and many other useful e: becoming mmon in our markets The Territorial Legislature assembled in this city on the 224 of Sept., and ion, hav- ing located the seat of go city, in Millard ¢ . and appointing commissioners wo select the site for the capitol. &c., adjourned to the fire; Monday in January, when they re-assembled, and after enacting many general laws for the benefit of the territory, (which are now in press) ond me- morializing Congress for appropriations for the con- struction of a national road. railway and telegraph, from Missouri river to the Western coast ran from north to south through the te. @ hospital and penitentiary, for establis! ronte from hence to San Diego, a week the States, a distributing post office: great public improvements, #djou: of February. President. Orson Hyde left this city for Kanes. ville, on the 23d Sept.; Ezra T Ben: follewod the next day for the same place, accompanied b elder J. M. Grant, for Washington, and Samuel W.

Elder Orton Pratt arrived on the 4th of October from England, bringing with bim an excellent telescope, microscope, globes, chemical tests, and wineralogical climens. All of which are most valuable acquisitions in promoting scientific re- search. The books of the Utah Library have been unpacked, and found in good order, great variety, and of a choice selection. The September Confer- ence, which was adjourned to the sixth of October, was held, and closed on that nig The Commissioners appointed by the Legisiature to locate the capitol at Fillmore, left t rf c 21, accompanied by brothere Young, Ki others, who visited Fillmore, Manti, Nepi and other places, and returned Nov. 7. ture accepted the report of the commissiouers, con- firmed the location of the site for the public build- ings at Fillmore, 38 deg. 58m. 40s.

The mountains and table land were overed with snow, for the first time, last fall, Nov. 10, followed the next day by the severest gale of wind ever known in our valley, where but little snow has fallen during the winter, and that remain- ed but a short time. Schools have been common in the various wards and districts, and wel! attended. The Parent scheol has been continued under the tuition of Chancellor Spencer and oth Professor Pratt has given a course of lectures on astronomy, and every exertion possible has been made for the promotion of the arts and sciences. But one mail has been received from Oregon since last fall, and that on the 10th inst. The November mai] from Sacramento was ent off and lost, and the carriers doubtless kilied by the Indians of Mary’s river, though the body of Mr. Weodward has been found thirty miles beyond Bear river. No mail had been received from the States since the one which left Independence on the Ist of December, until the 3d inst.; consequently we have been poorly advised of the state of foreign missions. From last aceounts We may reasonably suppose that elders John Taylor and F. 1). Richards are on their way home; elder Erastus Snow in Denmark, and elder Lorense 2, is at Calcutta, (where missions have been establish- it year). expecting to return by the Pa. ‘ work was prospering in France, Hngland, Switverland, Denmark, Germany, and all places ad, #0 fur as the gospel had been feeeahtal ny Places great ¢ on has b which proves that Satan is not bound Book of Mormon had been tr French, Danish, and probably before th ; and the Welst man, Swies, and Italian; and is acquiri circulation.

Notwithstanding the spacious tabernacle we occw- pied at Conference, many hundreds waiting without, could gain no admission, and all felt the necessity of a lurger building; yet all was peace, union, love; and the Holy Ghost appeared to have tho p dency in every heart. Brigham Young was su’ tained by the unanimous vote of the Conference, as | ithe President, Prophet, Seer and Revelator of the | Chureh of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, in all the earth, and Heber C, Kimball and Willerd Rivhards, as his counsellors, and the authorities of.) the church generally, as hitherto organized, were sustained, in like manner. Conference continued until Sunday, Mth inst., and wach of the time was spent in teaching, and re- yealing things new and old; and the hearts of the saints were filled with joy, praise and thankegiving. ‘Lhe report of the financial affairs of the church, by the trustee in trust, showed that, from the com- menecement of tithing in the vailey,onthe 6th of Neveniae egg td ‘arch a 1852, ee had been received at the office, on tithing, mostly in property, valued at... .. 1 gahitar 03 Received in rom other sources: seeeceeeee 145,513 78 Total...... vs cease $390,260 81 Expended, daring the same time, on Council house, store house, stores rented, old bowery, blacksmith, car- penter’s and paint shops, church barn. tabernacle, bathhouse, trenoh round Temple lot, railroad, farms, city lots, paper factory, pottery, water ditches, the poor, houses for elders on amis- siens, superintendents, clerks, public labor, grain, hay, provisions, assist- ing emigrants, eattle lost by Indians and wolves, stationery, &e 1........ 358,765 69 $36,495 12 Now on hend in grain, vegetable, merchandise, cut stone, lumber, shingles>printing press, obligations, horses, mules, and stock of various From which take $74,512 50 36,495 12 Leaves a credit of...........0.05 . $33,017 38 ee to the church, in the management of the tunds. It appeared also, that the thasteo in truet was re- one efor somo cash liabilities, for glees, nails, clothing, and various articles of merehandise, which were necessary to rear the public buildings, end sus- tain the public hands, which cost cash; that little had been received in cash, and though there was abundanee of TaOperty, on hand to pay all the debts, leaving a handsome baie that property could not be immediately converted into cash; and as the merchants were wishing stock to drive to California, it was proposed that those having extra oxen, horses, or mules, should bring them to the tithing office, to help liquidate the cash debts of the trustee. he proposition met with a warm response from the Conference, and many cattle have already been received; and if others do ar some have done, which we doubt not, old debis.will be cancelled, and a handsome sum will remain in the hands of the trus- tee, to prosecute the public works this season; it is contemplated that we shall be ready to commence tho temple next springs and that fonts and other preparations will be made ready the preeent season on the temple block; but cash will be wautea from all who have, to purchase such articles as demand eash, and such as cannot be produced in the valley. We hear a good account from the saints in England, and trust they will continue in good works, and othersfollow their example. The subject of the sainte walking over tho prair with hand carts and whee! the Conference, when ninety-three brethren volun- teered to with teams aud provisions, to meet them, and assist them on their journey, av @ free donation to the kiogdom of God. Tt was voted that Thomas Marget-s and Alfred Smith take a mission to Italy; William lethering- ham to Caleutta; John C. Armstrong, Edward Bunker, Da’ Dille, Samuel Glasgow, T B. Broderick, John Dalling, John Barker, and George Fenn, on foreign missions, (probably to er through England.) Edward Hunter was ordained presiding bishop of the whole church, who proposed Brigham Yoang and Heber C. Kimbal his counsellors. with the entire approbation of Conference. Seth Taft, vid Pettegrow, Abraham Horg land, David Fullmer, and Daniel Spencer, were unanimously chosen assistant presiding bishops A for wero dinttlowshipped, and 67 ordaiaed so. the . The last day of the Conference, San P. M., was devoted to administering the Sa ent of the Lord’s Supper, and sovial omscrya, ‘ies, arrows, was presented to « bythe assembly; afer which a contributi vas called for the purpose of procuring the furn' ture for the communion gervice in the Tabernacle when $149. was presented in silver coin, besides sove- ral pounds of watel cases, speons, rings, and other silver ornaments. Conference adjourned to the 6th of O xt. Also a special conference was appoint the last Saturday in August, for the purpose of transacting business relative to the ap- pointment of elders on foreign missions. And now, brethren, having given yeu a brief hie ry of the situation of the ehurch in ihe valley, uch is altogether more prosperous than we could hitherto communicate, we have a word of counse}, which we hope you will give becd to, that you may be- come partakers of the rich blessings of Ephraim with us; and first, as far as possible, live in peace with all men, even 28 our last conference agreed to cease all contentions and Jaw suits, one with another, and if possible with all men; when you are sick, call for the elders, who will pray for you, anointing with cil and the laying on of bands; and ourse each other with herbs and mild food; and if you do these things, in faith, and quit vaking poisons and poison- ous medicines, which God mever ordained for the use of men, you shgll be blessed. Sustain the government of tho nation wherever you are, and speek well of it, for this is right, and the government hae a right to expect it of you, go lon as that government sustains you in your ivi! an religious liberty; in those rights which inherently belong to ry verson born on the oarth; andif you are persecuted in your native Lind, and denied the privilege of worshipping the true God in spirit aud in truth, flee to the land of Zien, to America— to the United States, where constitutional rights and freedom are sot surpas:ed by any nation—where God saw fit, in these laet days, to renew the dispensation of salvation, hy ione from the heavens, and where all, by the constitution and laws of the land, when executed in righteousness, are pr in all the civil ard religious freedom that man is ca- pable of enjoying on earth; and our national insti- tutions wil never fail, unless it be through the wickedoess of the people, and the designs of evil men in brief authority; for those rights were or- dained of God on tiie lend, for the establishment of the principies ot truth onthe earth; and our national organization originated in the heavens. Let all the elders of Israel sound the trumpet of Salvation with a loud voice, knowing that the time is short, in which » great work is to be done; and fear not what men can do, who can only kill tho body ; but fear God, who will destroy tho soule of the fearful and the apostate in hell. If the saints have more gold and silver thax they need to bring all the poor, bring it along with you; but belp one another—do as you would be dons unto, and not leave the poor to perish at home or by the way. Those in the Western Islands, New Holland, the Bast Indies, and the warin climates generally, will do well to come to San Diego, in California, and reveive the instructions of the Apostles cr Presidency at San Bernardino; while those of England and Northern Murope will do well to take a more north- ern route, by New Orleans, Kanesvi'le, and the South Pass; and when you come, bring models of the most approved machinery for manufacturing all useful articles ever wanted by man, and cheice eceds of all hi The world is full of labor saving ma- ond models thereof, with such articles needed in the man nfactory of the machinery, as can- not be obtained here, will be worth moro to the saints than their weight in gold or silver. Finally, brethren, God ; worl: righteousness ; and come home epeedily. Prepare, against another season, to come by tens of thousaads; and think not that vour way is geing to be opened to como in chariots, feasting on the fat of all lands. We haye heen w ling to ive on bread and weter, and many times very little bread, too, for years, that wo might search out and plant the saints in a gaodly land hy This we have omplished, through the b essing of nly Father; and we feast of fat things, to a land y invite you to a will wapply all nur wants, with reasonable labor; therehes, int ho can prooure a bit of bread, and one garmont Leir back, be assured there is water plenty aod pure by the way, and doubt no longer, but come T to the place of gathering, even in flocks m hear the gospel for the remission Ghost by the } it is time for them to gather, y in; unloze thoir presidency shall u them to tarry and preach the gospel to those lave not heard it; and generally, the longer they wait the more difficult it will befor them t hom he who has an oppe ty to gather, 1 dove not improve it, will be afilicted by the p fly to their windows before a etor in ot individnals n of hand without delay, to Zi aying call wh ion Jesus was on tho eart! of would I have ereth her chickens , he said to his » athorod you, oven jor her wing, but yo y t; therefore, behold your house is left unto Jesviate,” Andit tho gainte of this diepensne | | tev pasted tha! was not instigated by pri tion do not listen to the call of the: good Shepherd, and gather according to the holy commandment, the time is not far distant, when the representatives of the Saviour pow on earth, may have oocasion to cay, ashe said, ** Your house is left unto you desolate; for plagues, famine, pestilence, and death are begin- ning to circumseribe the earth; and where will ty be But in Zion—the land of "8 appointing—the home of the Saints; a land cheice in preducts and government above al! other lands; ‘therefore, we say unto you, Arise and come forth, and not, for the great day of the Lord isat hand, and who shall abide his coming ? © Lord God of Abraham, our Father, pour out thy Spirit er thy people, throughout the earth; even that Spirit which thou dost bestow upon a servants, that all thy children may be obedient in all things, and speedily become one with us in the val- leys of the mountsins of Epbraim; that thy will may be done on.earth as in the heavens; which we ask in the name of .!osus Christ.

The officers of the battalion of Life Guards, pa- raded in the eapacity of a military ball, at the houso of Lieut. N.V. Jones, on Monday the 29:h March, at two o'clock P. M. The party was favored with the presence of His Excellency President Young, and President Kimball and General Wells. A more social assombly and finer time has not been expe- rienced in any place. The ball was opened by prayer from the host, Lieut. Jones, when the following ADDRESS was delivered by Captain James Ferguson, on bebalf of the battalion of Life Guards of the Nau- yoo Legion:— Brethren and Sisters--For the first time have we assembled in_ the capacity of a party of the Boys. Often, indeed, have we all been associated in fes vals, and enjoyed. se eess the song and the dane but never asnow. The toyey trappings of the table in former times, and the soft etleminate looks of gome one that grand in, ill compared with the pleasing rudeness of a soldier's life. Thisis a mili- tary ball; here we have the rudoness of the camp; here hang the colors we defend; here hang the still honorable sabres that form our eompanions in the field; around us are the household gods we have enlisted te protect, and before us are the chieftains we love to obey. And for what have we met here? What is 2 military ball? Where are your lexicons? Can we find the meaning of the words in them, or will they not meet with the same response fiom custom in this that they do in a myriad other words and customs? Dictionaries, you lie. A military ball does net mean amilitary ball. Custom makes it an association et sashes and oaths, of epaulette and bragadocia, of uniform and ribaldry, of mustaches and seduction, ofimpudence and eowardice. The words imply a convention of caution and valor of beauty and honor, of friendship and peace. What, then, shall we fol- low! The eustoms of graduated corruption, or the true import of the sounds? Whatever is is right. If corrupt hearts assemble together and desecrate the fireside of ghele tenia toe room, to whith they ore innitad hy: an? i eS Teducion” and villany, ie is sigue eee eat the devil sheu'd have the privilege ef recognizing hie ewn. Ifthenoble minded come and seek to Lappify each other, and throw off the toils of the camp or the counting house, and ayes the faculties o body that are given them, that they may be the more prepared for ether toils and cares—it ie right —right that the name of our father may be honored and his children enjoy tuemselves. For this, then, wo have assombled—to honor God and refresh our- selses How happy and how peaceful! and yet, there is a peng—and yet, there deep sigh. | ean sce the tear on the raddiest cheek : the stoutest heart doth palpitate. We are not all here. One is missing that would have been here— David; beis gone. No more will the merry sound of the pre 4 echo through the brazen tubes of a mortal cenniget from his lips ; no more will we hear from him the reveilie and the tatoo. He has gone tobis grave; his waltzes and his quicksteps are silent ; no more prances the war borse to the time of his bugle; but will wo not hear him agatn; will he not hail us from our ag with a reveille of im- mortality? Will he not learn for us the better music ofa better world! Oh, yes, we will hear him The flower cut down 6 early will bloom again. asain His winter has commenced, but his spring: tide wil} soon come, and bring out the buds of im- mertality. Farewell, farewell to the comrade most faithful, Thy trumpet is silent. the mouthpiece is gone, Yet again. Ob ! 20 sweetlyPwith geatures more graceful, Wilt thou pisy on its valves in a leftier tone. A thousand recollections erowd upon us now! ‘The vengeful chieftains of a savage rave, seems to glare wildly upon'us! The horrors of a campaign in the winter, and the gesroying heat of the sum- mer desert are recalled! And that holy escort, that formed.a guard on our frent and our wings and rear, is recalled too, and the recollections are all happy. The prayers of our leaders and friends are recalled too, and we are grateful. The friondship and wel- come of our shiehtains are recalled too, and we are devoted. We have not come as do the ungodly, to trumpet the applause of their butchery. We have come to perpetuate peace and union. We have come to talk over the toils endured, and see how much we have to thaak the Lord for. Oursis nota contest for honor (such honor as the world can give). It ig a contest for salvation—salvation for ourselves and for those with whom we fight. If we shed blood, it ig that atonement may be made. We aro soldiers that we may be saviors. We are instru- ments to be used. Here, then, do we offer ourselves, chieftain of Israel. The follies and the faults of youth and imporfect manhood have been ours. For- give them—command, we obey! bh The simplicity of the affair, the sociability of the company, and the kind and manly deportment of the few who are always ready and obedient to de- fend tho saints, and assail her brawny enemies, ren- dered tho affair extremely agreeable. The party broke up soon “ifter anidnight, and was dismissed by benediction from Gen. Welle. MARKIAGES IN UTAL.

Itis tosay what influences were brought to bear upon the Hon, Secretary; at all events, the opimion is universal that it will be little short of an outrage to erect the public buildings on the place which has been selected.

But aside fram the hill, the fi never would be eoutral.

What would New Yorkers say. if a speculators prevailed upon the government, at W: ton, to erect a stack of buildings to comprise a custom houre, post office, United States courts and marshal’s office. not in the centre of the city, or what would evidently be the centre in a few years, but at the foot of Broad street? Yet thishas been done in San Francisco.

(From the Placer Times and Transcript, May 15.} The main Middle Fork of the American river begins at the junction (so called) of the North and East Forks, | and continues its course’for the space of ety miles, | when it mingles its waters with those of the North Fork. Junction Bar lies at the confluence of the North and First Forks of the Middle Fork, and stretches along the south side of the river, to the distance of three-fourths of amile, presenting an area of 198,000 square yards, This bar was worked to amoderate extent inthe spring of 1851, and the next season found maay more , averaging from $5 to $16 perday. The diggings sre from eight to fifteen feet deep. The river bottom has been prospected satisfactorily, but as yet no damning companies have gone into operation in that section. ‘Willow Bar is e continuation of the same bluff or bend of the river, and extends to the distance of half a mile, having an area of 88,000 square yards, Jn August, 1851, about fifty men worked this bar, olearing from $6 to $8 per day cach, It is now all taken up in small claims, and pays afuir remuneration, A company is ranized to — the river at this point, and will shortly be in ope- ration. ’ American Bar lies on the north side of the river, imme- diately below Willow Bar, having an arca of 120.000 juare yards, A race was commenced here in the spring of 1849, but abandoned, A few miners w en the bar in the summer of 1850, making from $4 to $6 per day, which did not pay at the then cost of labor, Ipper Pleasant Bar is situated north and south, on a large bend in the river, and.is 876 fuet in length, contain- ing an aren of 21,030 square yards, Attempts to prospect the bar in 1850 proved disastrous The next season brought a large party to the same locality, who buiit, at considerable cost, a plank flume. the entire length of the bar. The amount of gold on the bottom not warranting the enterprise. a crisis followed, and ali went by the board at “poor, but pleasant bar.? Lower Pleasant Bar lies nearly at a right angle with the upper Pleasant Bar, on the north side of the river, avd covers a surface of 10,000 square yards. Inthe spring of 1851 the bar was in high favor, aud a large number settled there to wait the falling of the waters. Merchants. monte sbarpers, barkeepers. butchers, bakers, biacksmiths and allthe et ceteras of a large settlement, were rapidly deve- loped, and an extensive business sprung up, based altogo- ther upon an hypothecation of river bank securities, which never came to light. So business at Lower Pleasant Bur “burstedup.”’ There are still a good number of wise- acres who have a presentiment that the bar will prove rich. if the bottom is ever brought to light. ‘The Boston Bar and Tunnel Company occupy the bend of the river, opposite Pleasant bar, familiarly known as the Ox.Bow. These grounds are one fourth of a mile long, and in area about 90,000 square yards. Last fall, in rospecting their premises, they realized in the neighbor- Rod of $1,000, which determined them to take the benefit of a full investigation this season. The summit ef the Peninsular Bluff. which terminates in the Ox-Bow, has yielded a considerable amount of gold, several thousand dollars being extracted from the surface dirt, whieh is conveyed to the river by means of a plank shute. ‘The Dluff is 150 feet above the river level. The Boston Com- pany are now eonetructing a plauk flume, toconnest with that of the Willow Bar Damming Company, and to exten@ through their claim to the mouth of their tunnel, which has been already cut through the peninsula. From this artificial channel the stream will be thrown again into the main river, at the foot of the ripple, and beyond the dam of the Horseshoe Company. Should present negotiations be consummated. the works will be extended to the en- trance of tke Horseshoe tunnel, through which the water ean be discharged to the inutual advantage of both com- munities Hoise-rhoe Bar. the west bend of the river below, was, in 1850, oceupied by a company of twenty men. at the head of whom was Judge Applegate. who proved every way competent to dircct an enterprise requiring no ordi- nary application of talent and industry. They cut tunnel fepugh the solid peninsular rock 120 feet long, during the summer of 1850. at a cost, with other operas tions, of over $80,000. and ia 1851 they connested « flume to their tunnel of halfa mile in length, at an expense of $20,000, This flame is still preserved. and will answer the purposes of the eompany the approaching season. ‘The river was turned into the tunnel, and from thence into the flume, about the last of July. and, for a m mth or more, every exertion was used by the proprietors to prospect their grounds, but without success, The dig- gings were deop. and the surplus water so great as to pro- clude all possibility of operating to advantage. ‘the claimants then abandoned the bar. Notwithstanding the ruinous results of last year. attempts will be made this reason to work these grounds. and it is believed by many of the company. that their plans are so matured as to in- sure success, The bar is half a mile in length, and com- prises an area of 180.600 rquare yards, Eureka Bar occupies the south side of the river, and extends from a point opposite the lower.extromity of Horee-thoe Bar to the head of the Arkansas River Com- pany’s claim, a distance of 1,050 feet, and displays an area of 18.000 square yards, A race was dug through this bar in 1850. but little was known of its value until 1851, ‘The bar appears to be of a first andgecondary formation, the old ber. (so called.) being proven very auriferous. $160 6C0 were taken out of it in the space of a few months. From §0 to 160 pumps are kept in operation on the bar yet ; still the oxceas of water ceriourly impedes working. Thirty of there pumps are termed wire or lever pumps, and are >y constructed that one large water wheel placed in the Horre-rhoe flume keeps them all employed.

For gold they left their bomes. d_no sacrifice of self seems too great to insure the prize. They suffer patiently and with- out repining, are generous in adversity or prosperity, and and their motto is that of Grip, the raven—* Never say die.” The honcet men who work all stand well, whether their their pockets are full or empt Preachers, doctors, lawyers and artists, wade deep streams and delve the mountains. with no line of demarcation among them, ex- cept that which defines “thy claim or my claim’'—a pure demecracy in a region of gold, but which gold ean neither purebare nor destroy.

Big Bar has been remarkably rich. One claim, Inst fearon, yielded upwards of $3.000, and from a hole sunk by « company of Frenchmen $2,500 was taken out. The ‘bar has, in most places. been worked out on the ledge by means of drifting, which was pursued to a great extent last fall, and to much advantage. Another method of working the bar is now in vogue. ‘The miners are at pre- sent washing tho top dirt with toms, and making good wages. Some of the companies haveas much as two hun- dred yards of hose laid down to conduct the water from pumps worked with paddle wheels. [From the Stockton Journal, May 15.) A piece of gold weighing thirty.six ounces was found a few days since, at the head of Rattlesnake Creek, near Big Ook Flat It was valued at $700. Persons cartii earth on the Flat are earning an average which is eq: to the yield of any placer diggings in te southern mines, One party engaged in carting dirt taken from the diggings, paying from the surface to the ledge, have made as high ax nine ounces per day. with an average of five or six ounces, th | perrons. of course, work hard in those, as well as other diggings, without making more than three or four dollars per day. But without work, even that amount cannot be made. Mr. Grant saya that tho diggings around and in the vicinity of Moccasin Creek. heretotore considered as un- profitable, are being thickly settled. He says that the Miners on this creek, Big Oak Flat, Garrote, and the sur- rounding country, ate meeting with genera) good success, and new comers.from the amount of ground which re- mains unprospected, find a good opportunity to share in the luck of thore more experienced, Mr. —. a miner who left Morgan’s Bar, on the Tuolumne. on Monday last, fuforms us that the river was high. and rising. Miners working in the bank were ave- raging $3 to 96 per day. Some at Don Pedro's Bar were doing remorkabiy well. Business generally, along the river, is dull, and it will continue so until the water falls, in August. Board on the river is $8 per week Mr. Joreph Harrison, of Columbia, informs us that a small stream, sufficient only for four toms, was brought into that place. from a creek about five miles distant, on the 26th ult; but stream from the Five Mile Creek, which will give work toa large number of was, expected in daily, when he left.

The correspondent of a Saltzburg from Vienna, after describingghe le of the 10th, adds as fellows:—‘* Before the mighty alliance which this picture presents to the continent, no other power of the same can exist. If Austria and Russia are united, Western Europe will be obliged te yield per, writing: to their demands. No power can resist the mighty ae that Austria and Russia can bring into the eld. Great pains have been taken to state, sineo the departure of the Czar, that there was no meeting be- | tween him and the Duko of Bordeaux, who occupies, at present, his villa of Frohsdorf, near Vienna. Annis last Bourbon, having come up from Venice just be- fore the Czar’s arrival, the possibility of a meeting was looked forward to with great interest, partioue larly in diplomatic circles. But it is now positively stated, that no meetin; lace; and the a0- counts that tho Russian Grand Princes treated him, in Italy, with such: unusual distinction, addressing him as “Sire,” are also contradicted. This is no deubt in order to calm any anxiety that‘may have been excited in France. Count Nesselrode did not Jeave Vienna till Friday, || the 14th inst. During the whole time he was here, he never appeared in public, and it hardly seemed to be known generally that he was here at all. He was Sprom pales by Baron Nicola, Councillor of State, and M. de Martzloff, Privy Couneillor, as | secretaries, and seoms to have been constantly en- gaged in official Inbors. Ho had very frequent con- | ferences with the Austrian Minister of Foreign Af- fairs, in which, it is eaid, the commercial question between Austria and Prussia received a large share of attention—Count Nesselrode taking the part of mediator between the two powors. No doubt the question of the empire in France was the chief and most serious one that occupied the two ministers. Assoon as the French Am! lor here received telegraphic news of the events of the 10th of May, he proceeded immediately to Count Buol, and had an interview with him, in conjunction with the Rus- sian Ambassador. Tho Vienna papers, since getting the full report of Louis Napoleon’s speech, affect to regard it as more satisfactory than it appeared, as reported by tele- graph, and they too, that the interior affairs of ‘rance are not sufficiently conselidated to allow an aggressive policy abroad, not seeing that a poliey | that should cover France with glory abroad would be the very means of consolidating Napoleon’s gov- ernment at home, and there is evidently considera- ble fear hore as to Napoleon’s intentions, and per- haps with reason. While the Emperor Nicholas was here, a member of the Russian Legation was sent with despatehes to the Grand Duke of Tuscany, probably to congratu- late him on the abolition of the Tuscan eonstitu- tion. The Pesth Gazette states in its official part, that the Emperor of Austria may be expected in Hunga- ry, fora certainty, on theSth of June. It is expect- ed that the new Austrian organization for Hungary | will be finished and ready to publish by that time. The Vienna papers speak in the following terms | of Mr. Stiles’ book on Austria:—“A work has na | peared in New York by Mr. Stiles, bearing the title ‘Austria in 1848 and 1819,” which, on account of the relation in which Mr. Stiles stood, to many leading men at that time, is calculated to awake considerable interest, and at the same time, to pro- mote that favorable change in public opinion which has begun in the United States, in reference to Austria. Gorgey’s book seems to be genuine, notwith- standing the contradiction in the papers here. It is prohibited in Austria. The Lloyd says, that merchants here have ac- counts from their correspondents in New York, that atreaty between Japan and the United States is in rospect, and that the latter will thus get a firm footing in Asia. The number of Americans passing through Vienna, this season, is considerable. At present there are here, General Stewart, of Baltimore, and General John Taylor Cooper, of New York.

Diminution of the Expenses of the Austrian Gov, ernment—New Loan in Silver abroad—Diminu- tion of State Paper Money in Cireulation—New Austrian Minister to London—Chevalier Hulse. mann—Meeting on board an American ship in the port of Trieste. The two important events of the week here ard, the publication of the results of the economy recom- mended by the Hmperor in August of last year, to the different ministries, and the contraction of a loan in silver abroad. The former.runs as follows in the official Gazette:—‘‘The financial affairs of Aus- tria pressingly demand the utmost economy in its ublic expenses. To this end his aaieeiyy in hig ecision of August 30th, of last year, made it the ticular duty of the different ministries, to intro- juce the greatest possible economy.” In consequence of this order, the ministers have subjected the subordinate authorities to a reduction of their calculated expenses for the fiscal year 1852. This reduction amounts in the Ministry of the Inte- rior, to 1,402,338 florins; and in comparison with ite budget for the fiscal year 1851.... florins 2,699,030 Ministry of Justico....... oe © 1,806,772 Public worship and _inetructit «1,100, Commerce and public works. iu nt Agriculture and mining... “1,980,000 Total. ..cccccssecccseeeeeeneeee '€ 14,268,290 Likewise, in the axpenses for the army, Majesty has deigned, under the date of May rey to give such orders thut the total expenses of the war de ‘ment, for the fiscal year 1853, will be diminished 2,600,000 florins. Thelatter, it is supposed, willcause a diminution of 30,000 or 40, men in the army. In an: emergency the order would, of course, be reversed. The loan, in silver, amounting to 35,000,000 florins, has been contracted at Frankfort. It has not yet been officially announced, but the houses of Rothschild and Bethmann are mentioned # the principal takers. The interest is five per cent., pet in silver. The effect on the exchango here has been favorable, though it has not varied much as yet. The Vienna Gazette of the 21st inst., publishes. i an Imperial decree, ordering tho destruction of . emall paper money to the amonnt of a million of” florins, on the 22d and 26thof May. This, it states, with the 2,000,000 of the same money alroady des- troyed, and 25,000,000 other State paper money in compultory circulation, makes the total sum of 28,000,000 florins of State paper money that has been removed from circulation by the application of a part of the loan of 1s51. The new loan will probably be applied toafarther - reduction of the paper money in circulation. Thave already stated that the Reapers is going to Hungary on the 5th of June. at prepara- tions, it seems, are making to reeeive him. From Pesth he will make a tour through the whole country, at different points of which troops are collecting, which he will review. It is said that important results are expected from this journey. _ The Emperor, who speaks perfectly the mi eaparien | lasgnage, intends, by coming in contact directl: ; with the people of the country, to judge for himself | | of their feelings towards him. Seme think, if the re- sult should be favorable, an extensive amnesty will ~ follow; but, fer my part, I think it weuld be the part of wisdom to let the amnesty precede the por- sonal appearance of the monarch. The late condem nations, it appears, consigned some persons to prison who had been at liberty during their trial. This could not but produce a bad effect. Mild monsures would still do much to reconcile the Hungarians to Austiia. Some think, also, that the new system of organization for Hungary will be published before that time; but, though the work of organization for the whole monarchy is no doubt going on rapidly, it is hardly likely that anything definite for Hun- gary will appear S90 soon, Count Collaredo-Walsee has been appointed Aus- trian Ambassador to Londen. ; It is stated in the papers here that Cheyalier Hulsemann, before leaving Bag a oh addressed a note, in a very severe tone, to Mr. Webster, which he communicated likewise to the whole diplomatic corps; and another to the President, thanking him for his kindnese. The Augsburg Gazette says that it is not supposed Mr. Hulsemann will return to Washington. ; Princo Metternich has just recovored from a slight indisposition. ss Tho Trieste Gazelte, of the 18th instant, says:— ‘* Last night a bloody mutiny took place on board the American threo mast ship Lawrence, Captain Bearse, to tho completo suppression of which the assistance of the guard ship was elaimed.
