2 THE NEWS FROM UTAH. Mormon Report of the Conference with the Commissioners—The Mormons Strong en thelr Destiny—Letter from a Disciple Not Over-sausfied with their Gentile Visiters— The Elements of Discord Rite—General News, dic. By the last mal from Utah we have received files of the Deseret News to July 7. The vacating of Great Salt Lake Cily by the Mormons having caused a temporary cessation of the News, we have had little from the Mormon organ for some time back, The present papers are pub- Maned at Filimore City, one hundred and fifty miles south ‘of Salt Lake City, They are not very extensive in size, and beyond the publication of very brief sketches of the early apostles of Mormon faith, therepublication of ‘Army Orders” to the troops on their way to Utah, they are pretty nigh filled with selected matter, The unsettiea state of matters and the migratory position of the faith. ful have evidemily suggested the discontinuance of “discourses” and the publication of the choise morsels thrown to the Gentiles, Notwithstanding, the following 8e- Jections are not without interest. By our special corres- pondence trom Utah we have ago jearned of the meeting of the Commissioners and the attendant circam- stances. The is the version of the News:— CONFERENCE WITH THE COMMISSIONERS. On the 10th of June Presidents Brigham rene Bae ©. Kimball and Daniel H. We'ls, the majority of Quo- rum of the Twelve, and several other citizens, visited Great Salt Lake City. During the afternoon the First Presidency made an informal call upon bis Exceilency Governor Cumming; and in the evening, in reply to a ‘note {rom Commissioners Powell and McCulloch, President Brigbam Young siguified his readiness to inset the Com- mistiovers in Conference, avd appointed the meeting at nine o'clock A.

Eldridge and twenty-five missionaries General Johnston's army remained on Brigham’s canon till they ate up all the graes which the citizens depended on for their work cattle, then removed to Cedar county, about four miles west of Lebi, where they have remained ti!l this date.

The ¢: of the free State men last evening was by far the most imposing demonstration of the kind ever attempted in Kansas. The enthusiasm of the people soarcely knew «ny bounie. Americans, Germans and Irishmen alike joined in the ceremony, and swelled the meeting toasize unprecedented in the ennais of Kansas. There could not bave been less than 2,000 persons pre- sent. One Ofth of the inhabitants of the city turned out en masse, with the determination of making the last anti Lecompton meeting they could hold their greatest effort in behalf of free labor. For such a small place ag this the aflair was a most creditable one, both in point of the number of the assemblage and the char acter of the orators. The Hoa. Marcus J. Parrott was to have delivered the opening speech, but he was detained on bis way from Sumner and did not arrive on the ground until after nine o'clock; consequently other speakers oc- cupied the attention of the people in the fore part of the evening ©. J. Vavenan, or “Champion Vaughan” as he is more populsriy keown, on being loudly called for, came for ward avd addressed the assemblage substantisily as fol lows :—Feliow citizsna, Mr Parrott intended being here this evening, He is now on bis way down from Sumuer, au will be here as soon as possible. I regret that he is not here, because, as an eye witness, he could tell us more about the struggle in Washington than one who stood afar ef during the contest, What I want to see on the part of the laboring masses is indepexdence of judgmont—tuas {ndividua) conscience which determines what is right and courege that will stand by that right eat allhezards, This Eoglish bill ia but a part of a system begun 1a 1630, the object of which was to oppress fres- men to the advancement of slavery. I, myself, was bora and raised in the South, #ad I te | you the South is aa oll garchy opposed to anything ia the shape of free labor. Ia South Carolia there are counties where the white mon are virtually disfrancbised in consequence of the prepoa derance of the slaves. Goy. Aiken, for instance, owas two thousand nogro slaves in @ parish where there are about 900 white voters. Those white voters have no po litcal power whatever, when Gov. Aiken, bared up by his slaves, is arrayed against them, Thus you see @ sia- gle member of the oligarchy has more political power than 960 of bis fellow citizens. In old Virginia, if you are not in favor of slavery you cannot get into any politi. cal office, no matteg how unimportant it may be. For an antislavery man to bo sent to the Legislature, to the Congress, or auy where, is out of the question. Such ie the effect of an oligarchy and slave labor. [am not an emancipationist, aad would not advocate the doc- trine of emancipation; but 1am a free State man and in favor of free labor. Tae poor white man in the South is impoverished wud ground down by the slave power No white man who is a mechanic can live with auy degreo of comfort in the South, for slave labor comes in and cuts down his wages to almost nothing. The oligarchy has not only usurped all power, but bas made tho South a ‘unit op the subject of slavery. What yout \) with princigies of freedom and free labor, ever obtain Avy political office ia the Southern States’ Why, he would de frowned down by the oligarchy, by the mem. bers of tne Legislature, oy Senators, Congressmen and Judges, acd coald nos advance one step towards the realization of his hopes. fhe oligarchy, having made the South a unit, now turn their atieation to the eatire In 1830 and 1832, when emansipa‘ion was spokea of ia Kentucky an4 Virginia, Calhoun, who was toen supreme dictator in Sout Carolinas, saw the impeading dan; ad at once exciaimed, * Cais suing mast be stoppei.”” therefore, of the oligarchy being destroyed forever, went to work and @ith great shrewdness raised suca ag excitement upon the tariff qu has the emancipation prcjoot was oatirely forgotten, aud once more the oligarcay was firmly reiastated in power. Genry Olay aud 3: as | Wright tried hard to break down this o tgarchy, bat they failed.

Both sovereigns have felt that, by @ compliment ible to the two nations the most nearly inte! . they should give to the whole world a salut example, and a new pledge of a good un- derstanding— that is, ‘of universal pros nity. We have a pend Saat ne great fat, hat which is ipal cause of e Emperor, is the Tianguration of the magnidieent harbor, which is the completion of all the works prvicnsly executed, It is metres in length, 200 ‘meters in width; the beight of the quay is 18 metres, and the depth of water 9 meters. It has been, hollowed out, not merely of the rock,, but of the granite itself, by a mining system not, tried heretofore, or, at least, of which the prodigious results had not been as yet tested. Never had the resolute will to uer nature attempted so much, or succeeded so wi On the stocks of this basin the steam-vessel the Ville de Nantes has been built. Is it not evident that the launch of this fine vessel, resence of their Majesties, will add an addi- tional Ritore to the special character of the journey to Cherbourg? Some days previously the railway will be opened for Foy ic accommodation. What addition of stren; joes not Cherbourg derive from this railway, which is to connect its port with all the resources of the interior of the empire? The true author of Cherbourg, such as it exists—he who con- ceived or revised the final plans according to which it has been built—was, as every one knows, the Em- perce Napoleon the First. Hence it appears natural hat he should be honored with a statue at Cher- bourg. Js it not providential that the ina ‘ation of that glorious statue should take place the very day when the last of the docks opens its sluices to the sea—the very day on which the descendant of the mo- dern Chariemague renews implicitly with the Eaglish eople, in the person of its Sovereign, a treaty of ‘orgetfulness of the past and of friendship fer the future? What we must not pass over in silence is, that the Emperor has anticipated by two days the date originally fixed for his arrival at Cherbourg, in order to be able to devote a whole day to the dis- Pe of his duties as host of her Britannic Majesty. The Emperor and the Empress will probably pass the day on board the Bretagne, a ship carrying an Ad- miral’s flag, while Queen Victoria will remain during the day on board the English vessel carrying her flug. Visits will be exchauged by means of yachts. Thus the two sovereigns of the two greatest maritime: nations of the world, each in command of imposin, forces in friendly waters, will give to astonished an delighted Europe the spectacle of their mutual friendship, in a locality where so often, in a past still nea¢ our own times, the proofs of rivalry between the two nations have manifested themselves—a rival- ry glorious in more than one respect both for our neighbors and for ourselves, but, on the whole, un- fortunate for them, for us, for the world. ‘dhat is a great spectacke which recalls to the mind the noble words pronounced at Bordeaux by the chief of the State, in October, 1852:—‘The Empire is peace. Peace since France wishes it; and when France is satistied, the world is tranquil.” Rew Patents Issued, The following is the list of patents issued from the United States Patent Office for the week ending August 3, 1858—each bearing that date?

[From the Montwur de Flowe, July 10 ) Cherbourg is the issne of the long continued ri- valry between the two nations. After our disasters of the Hogue, Tourville impressed upon the great King that it was of urgent importance for France to anaval port in the Channel. This necessity aving been admitted, Vauban was commissioned to indicate that point of the coast where it was most desirable to found a naval establishment. He se- | lected the spot now occupied by Cherbourg. They , went to work, bat slowly, and under the reiga of Louis XVI. nothing, strictly speaking, had been done, when France, entering once more into a strug- gle with England on the occasion of the emancipa- tion of America, again felt the utility of creatiag the port demanded by Tourville. The gigantic pro- ject of Vauban was resumed. The revolationary storm prevented its realization. It slambered—if one may say so—till the imperative necessity of the policy of the First Napoleon caused its revival to be decreed, always with a view, it is hardly netessary to remark, to offensive and defensive hostilities ia cage of a war with our neighbors. Sach is the history of the port and arsenal of Cherbourg. Certainly, pre- texts would not be wanting to the Laglish people, if they entertained a less high and less clear notion of the interests of the epoch—pretexts, we say, would not be wanting to the English Pepple to be uneasy, both at the ground and the form of the visit of Napoleon IIL to Cherbourg under existing cireamstances. In fact, the Emperor is not going to visit this or that town, some one or other of the naval ports of the empire indifferently; he is going to Cherbourg, oar advanced post, pre-eminently, on the Channel coast. Nor is the Emperor going to Cherbourg for an ordinary ceremony; he goes there, in the firat place, and specially, for the inauguration of that magnificent | inland dock which crowns our works in that town, built, armed, and ready for war. What woald have taken place if the work commenced by L XIV. had been completed daring his long refga, or during that of Louis XVI, or that of Napoleon 1? Do yon think that the ideas then in the ascendant on both sides of the channel would have. permitted Louis XIV., or Louis XVI., or Napoleon L,, to invite the reigning sovereign of England to come in person, on the day of inauguration, to witness, in the midst of Cherbourg adorned, brilliant, re-echoing our national fetes, our public rejoicing, the most glorious of the en oo of our maritime genius? Sarely sach an invitation would never have been sent—still less would it have been well received. Opinions, then, have changed with the times. If, on the ove hand, Englands feels herself, with jast pride, sufficient! strong not to fear the increase of our means of attac and defence; on the other, she has acquired, by ex- perience, too high an estimate of our character ~she Bos understood ina manner too conclusive the ad- vantages of our alliance—stie knows too well the sin- cerity of the sentiments and of the word of our Bm- peror—to suffer that maritime and military féte, merely because it puts in evidence and sanctions the of our strength, should awaken the suscep- Pivhties of the English Sovereign and people. ‘This is the reason, no doubt, why the Emperor Napoleon the Third, whose tact in such matters is so delicate, lamps.
