The inhabitaate of this Territory have not been blessed with an Eastera mail since September 6, If the contrac. tora could only be made to realise the disappolated hopes, the anxiety and troubles caused by thelr megligent man- ner of fulfilling their contracts, they would, if men of feeling, endeavor to be less timid and more energetic. There'certainly has been no just cause for the detention of the monthly mails up to this time. The Mormons say | that beforetheir contractors were underbid no obstacle de. tained the mails beycnd the proper tims. They drew the ‘mail hege in on hand sleds when the snow blocked their ‘way among the mountains; yet uo one expec’s any such now. After the severe weather sets in, all hopes oe the Fastern mail enter the precincts of, this city will be mbandoned for several months. One of the late mai) contractors, after the conclusion of his contrast, kindly for wacded to this city, by ox teams, many months accumulation cf vewspapers, &c., at Devil's Gate. The California route will be the surest this winter for all com- munigation by mail between this Torritory and the Fast. The General Conference of the Mormon Church com- menced on the Oth, and adjourned on the 8th, No busi- ness was transacted, except the appointment of several imissionaries for the settled portions of the Territory, and & Voie upholding the old officers of the church. Although it was hinted, at the commencement, that something important would transpire, the proceedings were not worthy of more than ® passing notice, Several returned works {a forcign lands, One Elder Luddington has been on a rather wasuecessful mission to Sinn, having only boptiaed the eaptara of one of the ships be satled in and his wife, @omsiderable sensation was observed among his auditory waen be Informed them that the first King has one thousand wives, and the second five hundred, Me stated ihat each king has fifty danciog girls, selected fuc their fauitless forms and beauty; each of these wears a skirt, fastened at the waist, a erown of gold and diamonds upon the head, a heavy, gold chain pendant from the neck, aud bands of gold around the wrists and ancles, He said they we-o the most aupple persons he had ever seen, at pleasure upjointing their limbs, or threwiog themselves fato ww: numeruble positions, from the bending of the fingers, so asto make them lay upon the back of the hand, to the most graceful atuiudes imaginable. He saw the worship- jul anfinal, the white elephant, and also a mad elephant, ‘who acted just as a mad creature of such huge propor- tlons anight te supposed to act, making a clear way through the streets cf Banzox to the river, where he amused himeelf by tossing mative boats and cargoes in the air, unti! mounted by his keeper, who, by the fre quent use of his pike, guided him back to the palace from whence he had @scaped, when a troop of the King’s elephants cam» ont, and, after surrounding the hydro- phobie auimal, conducted him safely back to bis quarters, He gave the lengthy titles of the two kings, the pith of them being that they both were the highest of mortals, ‘and the one “lord of the white elephant,” and the other “lord of the white peacock.” Elder Ludington, during his residence in Bazicox, lived in a ‘haunted ‘house,”’ and one right succeeded ‘in retaining wivhiu his grasp port of the robe and wings of an angelically dis- guised visiter, Meeting with considerable opposl- uon frem “Gentile” missionaries and native sia- ners, he left Sism, and, in the course of his wanderings, found bimscit tue only white man im the “Kingdom of Matacea, in hogor of which event the King wis! to make a teast for him; but he contented bimselt with a ride upon cne wf the King’s elephan‘a, through the otherwise impenetrable ju eral of the twelve vermouized, while the Pioelgen and his two counsellors lectured people concerning their various duties. Brigham desiared that all guilty of hereafter pling flour or grain to the Nile merchants would be cast off from the church for the said offence. Kimball said that ay there wna very iftle chance of propagat rman doctrines to nay Great extent by means of missionartes abroad, the people must commence manufacturing prose- lytes taster at » He advised the fn ae J of all young: mea under sixteen, and girls under thirteen, where their own pr their parents’ circumstances would admit, ie also ¢aid that every married man in the Ter- ritory should not have less than two wives, Grant spoke concerning 1ithiv labor on a canal, to haul granite rock for building the temple. On the “id of September, a tribe of Urahs ktiled James: Wiseman Hunt, Willism Behmin and Edward Edwards, missionaries at Fik Mountain miseonary stetion, on Grand siver, inthe southern part of this Territory. ‘They enticed Hunt away from the fort, and, after kilflng him, sucoteded iq deapatebing tie two, who wers at ‘a distance’ from the station. Th Indiams surrounded the the remainin forty compe'ling | wissionacies to ‘atandon it and ir effects, to seek satety in flight. The missionaries all scon ‘the aecttle- ments, Cxcept three, who got lost, ani were obliged to eat a mule anc a dog to keep from starring. Arrapine, chief of the came baod.that under Waiker, his brother, threatepet ihe settlements lext winter, when he was in- formed of the clffiquity, sent some of his men to laterespt u newiecuit of missionaries going to the fort, and ad vise them tu turn beck. He was auxtous to have his new allies, but late enemies, the Snakes. sent ngainst the prin us tribes, and offered to assist if white meu were vent out. About the time we received, im this city, the news of the ity, messenger came in from Fort Bridge and Fort § missionary station, twelve miles {ccm Bridger, on Green River—annouacing that « hunting party of Shoshones were at those places, kil ing cattle and fcicing the occupants to deliver to them pro- visions, &c, In tage of these facta, the Governor iasued » proclamation, ordering the militia companies to hold themselves in’ readiness to proceed to any scene of Iadian outrage, at @ moment's notice. A cowpany wan sent back to Bridger, to pee the emigration safely by, which they have cone, snd returned.

The District At-orney objected to the eviilence of this witness. If sho wero not his wife he had acknowledged her os auch, ard had no tight to thiow her off at will for theesake of her evidence. Mr. Olinton said he could prove that Mr. Sprague had bare martied to another woman, and his wifs was stil ving. ‘The Recorder said that this woman having lived with Sprague as bis wile, the law would decide that she was ‘an fucompetent witness. Mr. Clinton—We will now prove Sprague’s marilage to ancther woman, by calling Rev, John A. Glider, who was svorn—I ama clergy: man; I think I have seen Sprague before; from jooklag at the man can’t say I remember marrying him.

Have you heard that your son was divorced from this Jane Ann Peddig ? ‘The defence objected to this. rorecution argued in fuvor of it. The Recorder ruled im favor of the quea'ion. ‘The defence took exception. The question renewed. A. Thave heard that this woman was divorced from my fon, but I have not heard that he was divorced from her; my eon has lived in the city all his life. The defence then argued in favor of admitting the dence of Ann Bleeckerdorf, the reputed wife of Spr 4 fence contended that it was to be presumed tuat arties ot married, because of the proof of his previous marringe, and they were not bound to prove a negative. he Dis‘rict Attorney oppored the effort to iatgoduce the evidence of Ana Bleeckerdorf. Why was no¥ proof brought upon this stand to provs that thls woman was not tbe wile of this mao—ortginal pro nt go up to Newburg and get this woman, and put her apon the stond, or get her relatives and friends, who ars acquaint- ed with there facts, and preve this’ marriage, aud not leave it for inference. Mr. Clinton asked that the decision of the Judge be re. served till to morrow, ard if steam could bring witnesses here from Newbur they shoul! be here. Mr. Fall avked for a decision at once, The Recorder said the bringing evidence from Newburg upon this point would only remwe one dificulty. This man bad eld this woman out as his wife, and if the de- fence raived the presumptioa that this woman was only Jus mistress, then he woul1 say the Court could not act up preaumption, but upon evidence, and the accused, in holting out this woman as his wife, acknowledged her he was responsible for his acts. The Court, ¢ pow stands, must decide against the admisri- bility of the evidence of this woman, Ann Bleeckerdor!. ‘Ihe defence excepted to the ruling of the Court. ‘The Court was then adjourned till 11 o'clock to-day.
