AFFAIRS IN UTAH TERRITORY. ‘What the Mormons Think ef Gen. Johnston— What the Mormons Produce, dic., dic. UK SALT LAKE CITY CORRESPONDENCE. Great Savr Lane Cory, U. T., Oct. 9, 1858. Opening of te United States District Court—Address of Judge Sinclair to he Grand Jury—Third Annual Fair of the Territory—Courteous Treatment of the Gentile Visi- ters—Mormon Industry—Ravishment of a Child by AIndians—The Flathead Tribe in the Oregon Territory, &e. The United States District Court for the Third Judicial @istrict of the Territory convened in this city on Monday Imst, the 4th instant—Judge Sinclair on the bench. ‘The commiesion of his Houor was read in open Court by ‘the Clerk aod entered on record, and also the commission of his Clerk, Samuel A. Gilbert, The grand and petit Jnries were then called, composed equally of Mormons and Gentiles. But, in consequence of the non-arrival of the late appointed District Attorney, Mr. Willson, and he ‘animportant nature of the business before the Court, they were adjonrned until the first Monday in November next, ‘Moe Court then addressed the members of the bar in the following terms:— Gxvrizuxn of THR Ban—In opening a session of the United states Court for this the Third Judicia) district, Deing comparatively a stranger to all of you, I have thought it a proper occasion to tender you my respectful salutations, and to express the earnest hope that nothing may occur here to introduce distraction into the public mind, or in any way disturb the public peace. You are officers of this court, subject to its rules and to its authority. Do not understand me as employing the language of unnecessary menace when } say to you that this authority will be firmly exercived, and the dignity of the gavernment main- tained in the supremacy of its laws, at all hazards. The ruies of this Court and its judgments, unti) reversed by sompetent authority, conatitute the laws bere, and every good Citizen Will ageigt in executing them. Ne one knows Vetter Luan yourselves, gentlemen, the lines of separation between the different departments of government—legis- lative, executive and judicial, In its character the Jndi cary is, or ought to be, independent. It is its graye and solemn responsibility to enforce, by its decrees and judg- ments, the constitution and laws of the United States, as also the laws of this Territory, when these are in harmo- ny with the constitution and laws of the federal govern- mest. From judgments here pronounced you have the right of appeal, under the law, to the highest our Jand. All remedies for the errors of this »ve pursned according to the forms of the law. Human judgment, when atsisted even by the profoundest learning, ‘# over fallible, either in framing or expounding the law. The door of appeal has been wisely thrown open from these subordinate jurisdictions to the august forum of the Supreme Court, adorned as it is by the most exalted dig- nity and purity of character, and the most matured logal wisxior ofthe nation. It will be my cordial pleasure, geatienen, to co-operate With you in maintaining proper order and decorum during the sittings of th s court. Remember, however, that I am powerless to do this =peacefally without your co-operation. May I not urge vpon you the observance of those courte mee of language and demeanor towards each other, and to the Court, which so sotten the (requent asperities of profes. Fiona! confiiet? Pre ces cannot enter into this presence, Duplicity and digsimulation have no place here. Passion and ‘Violence must be subdued by the sicapie silent operation of the law, or crushed ont by the strong arm of powe: Jemecrely trust, gentlemen, that our intercourse may be piessant and agreeable, and that our labors may reeuit w benetit to thie people, ahd to the honor of the United Mates, Theee remarks were received by the members of the Yar, seemingly, with much satisfaction, Whether t were concurred in by all will be determined, of course, by Inture operations in Court. Had such remarks, however, fallen from the tips of a United States Judge in ths Terr tory twelve months ago, I need scarcely say that they would haye met with no welcome response. The Mormon Jawyers would probably have said, “Sf the Lord (Brig hom) wills it, it shall be so."? But the presence of an arty of 2,000 men, under a skilful and judicions com waxider, of course does much towards rendering sich re- marke, at this time and place, acceptable. ‘The Ubservations of the Court were responded to Major Blair, of the “Nauvoo Legion,” who od Honor that it would be the object of the members of the bar to co-operate with the Court at all times in carrying eur its ruggestic Upon motion of C.

Brigham Young had his shorthand reporters (J. W. Jeng and G.D. Watt) present, ostensibly for the pur- pose of reporting the charge of the Court to the Grand Jury, but no doubt with the idea that the Court would special charge the jury in relation to the istitution of poigamy. These reporters displayed a@ considerable Want of Teepect and courtesy towards the bench by pre- vuming that they bad aright to report. its proceedings without permiesion from the J This permission, J beleve, however, Was subsequently Obtained, after they bad been notified by his Honor that they could do nothing until the consent of the Court was obtained. ‘The third annual fair of the Territory commenced in ‘this city op Monday, the 4th inst.,and will be continued for three days.

Grapes, apples, es, currants, apricots, wal- nuts, plums, &e., were in abundance, although the season for some of the frait was past. A, Carrington’s most splendid peaches could not be exhibited at the fair, yet the specimens produced were delighting to the eye and delicious to the taste, This fruit generally is plentiful this year. ‘The show of apples was quite a treat to the loversof that choice fruit; Cag aire large and well flavored. President Young had the tinest and greatest variety of seedlings on the tables, Mr. P. H. Young and Son’s were very large for such young gardens. Mr. Nebeker’s favorite apple was amply praised, The grapes were choice and fine; excellent specimens were shown from President B. Young’s, and Staines? gardens. The competition in fruit was decidedly spirit- ed, and the owners might well be proud of their achievements in that useful branch of culture. Their liberality in proficring assistance to those who are ambi- tious to grow fruit is certainly praiseworthy, aud as lovers and improvers of our barren State deserve our Bratitude. The President and Board of Directors amply supplied a table of the varions kinds of fruit, and invited his Excel- lency Governor Cumming and lady and some influential strapgers who are visiting the Territory to actually en- joy more than a view of samples, and be able to know ‘the quaiity of our fruit, all of which were prononnced de- heious, rich and whoiesome. ‘The vegetable department was not very full, but the samples brought were excellent and choice.

Tp consequence of some remarks being published ina ‘St. Louis paper condemnatory of the generalship of the commander of the Utah army, for wintoring at Camp Scott instead of forcing his way into Salt Lake City, the editor ofthe Mormon organ—the Deseret News—takes up the General’s defence, and is very complimentary to the gal- lant soldier, Passing in review the situation of the army, scattered and contending on the march with the cold and snows of winter, when Gen. Johnston came up with it at Ham’s Fork, the awkwardness of position in having to fight a people against whom war had not been declared, and the grounds he had for supposing that his supplies would be cut off, the Mormon writer says:— ‘The winter itself would have shut out his retreat and cut him off from his rear ‘the Democrat and entitled Gen, Johnston to his brevet? We may not have the experience of the Democrat in the conduct of campaigns and the duties of a General commanding an army. It is our opinion, however, that the conduct it has recommended could alone have been justified bad the army of Utab been selected asthe forlorn hope of a greater foree. We are not prepared discuss the ability ‘of Gen, Johnston to conduct the macbinery of an army in battle. His former history, however,'willcompare favora- bly with most of the commanders in Fiorida, which the Democrat appears to have selected as the parallel of Utah. ‘The dark swampy graves or blasted health of many, very many, of our brave soldiers tolls asad tale of the results of the gencralsbip that led our gallant troops through the evergiades, with ten days’ rations on their scalding backs, to be butchered by the ambushed Seminoles. Leaving our friends abroad to the enjoyment of their own opinions as to what would have given a claim to generalship under the circumstances, it isin our mind a fixed fact that the course of a pradent, wise commander was that pursued by General Johnston jast winter. He found the army ina stormy mountain land, and detachments of it struggling far in the rear with a most hostile climate. The supplies were seattered, and, as he had good reason to suppose, liabie to be ent off at any time. He collected his supplies, consolidated his army and established good, comfortable, bealtby winter quarters. Had Utah beea an m) her subjngation the object of the administration, we are decidedly of the opinion that a rested army in the opening spring, With prep: rations to protect ite Fear and furnish supplies and rein). cements, suitable to the purpose than weary pws of Winter with an unprotected rear. » however, occupied more space than we had auticnpated on this part of the subj We wanted simply to say that whatever slight errors he may have committed through the promptings of a pride which we conld not commend, General Johnston wears his brevet with a mach honor as mapy whose path to theirs was a dark and bloody one. Any Crack rained captain may lead his troop to death against a blazing batte It takes a cool brain and good judgment to mawtain a contented army and healthy camp through a stormy winter in the Wah- gatch mountains. Following this compliment. to General Johnston for his conduct of the army during the past winter at Camp Scott, the editor extends the olive branch to the General and the officers of the army, which indicates that the Mor- mons are changing considerably in sentiment. He adds:— Our readers will believe us when we say that it is not gc nerally our province Or disposition to be complimentary. e be guilty oft Bogioct of plain duty to with- credit we consider fairly due to General Jobn. r the discipline be has maintained in his army, not only during bis march through our city, butas far as we can learn, since his bait at Camp Floyd. Our experience always led to our disapproval of his present location, as being unpleasant, mnhealthy and inconvenient. But while we have been aware that evil designing men have sought to stir up bitterness and hostility between the citizens, the civil government and the army, we have algo, to our very great pleasure, learned that the disposition of General Johnston and the more experienced officers in his c¢ mand, has been for peace and good will. The preserva- ton of the line between @ garrizon and settlements, so indispensable to peace and good order, has done credit to the army, and speaks favorably for our fature tranquillity. ‘Tve iaurels are thorny avd sit heavy and ugly that have been purchased by the dispensation of death and desola- tion over our native soil.

Many of our readers are already advised that logal pro- coed against the president, aud directors of the lo: Central Air Line railroad have been commenced by # number of influential stockholders residing in Lyous, Maquoketa and Anamosa.

A. L. Road from consolidating with the Chicago, lowa and Nebraska Railroad, or in other words to prevent the Presideut and — of the former from seiling the land grant w the ter. From our knowledge of the men engaged in this move- ment, and trom a revi of the history of the whole man agement of this road, we are warranted in saying that they have not commenced these importaat pave without « strong conviction that the step was absolutely necessary for the protection of their own rights as stock - holders, #nd the rights of the people along eighty miles of the Air Line road, which ongbt to have been built before this, which might have been built but for the obstructions which these fraudulent bouds interposed, and which Mr. Jones’ sebeme cally abandons. Of the suite abrogating the contracts we shal say nothing at thie time, forther than to remark that if, as i alleged, the ebief officer of the road is a party in interest, they are a fraud upon the stockholders, and ought to be annulled. There can be but little difference of opinion with regard te the propriety of a thorough investi: stion into the reason why a million of dollars of stock and bonds have been issued to the President and director while no account is given of the ove made portion of them, except a general st have been appropriated in. a way whic strong suspic on of (Hegality. labors w If the President and other parties implicated bave acted uprightly in the matter, they should court the fallest investigation; if they have defranded the company they should be exposed and jon involved in the suit to prevent a few word of The plan oF consolidation was substantially this —The indebtedness of the lowa Central was to be capitalized into stock ab $1,400,000; the ©.

ADDITIONAL FROM JAPAN. Lord Elgin’s Visit to Ja “What the Eng- Tah Sew and Learned at Jeddo—The New British Treaty. WHAT THE ENGLISH LEARNED IN JEDDO. (From Nagasaki letter, Aug. 13, in London Times Noy. 3. | We arrived at Nagasaki onthe 3d inst. It it one of the most beautiful placee I have ever seen, the land high and precipitous, some of the hills riaieg, wo 1,500 feet, covered with fine trees and vegetation of all kinds, the most com mon tree being not unlike a magnificent Scotch fir, The outer harbor is formed partly by islands, partly by the main land, the islands rising perpendiculariy out of the sea, From the outer there is no appearance of the inner harbor, till you are almost at the head of the former when inner one suddenly opens to the view round some , the town of Nagasaki tying at the further end, built in a valley formed by two hills, up the sides of which a few temples and houses have crept. Na- asaki is the port at which the Dutch bave been settled 200 years, on a small island, connected with the town by a emall bridge; the island is only about 400 yards Jong by 300 broad, and, till within the last few years, the Dutch were kept rigorously to it, never being allowed in the town or country. They, as well as ail foreigners, are now allowed to walk at ure about the town and into the country. Everywhere foreigners are received with the greatest civility by the people. There are two Emperors of Japan, one the spiritual, the other the work- one, The former lives at Miaco, and is the descendant of the old race who were turned off the throne by the an- cestors of the reigning Emperor. The spiritual Emperor has nothing to do with governing the vountry, apd is partly looked up to as a heavenly being, one condition of Which ie that everything he wears or uses is destroyed each night, and new clothes supplied the next morn. ing. It is to prevent any one using the sanctitied garments. The reigning Emperor lives bere, and is elected, but in what manner I am not sure, but I believe by the Princes, [t appears a mere no minal election, the son regularly succeeds the father, and has done go since his ancestor usiwped the throne. I believe the descent of the spiritual Emperor can be traced, names and dates, with many of the branches of his family, for 2,500 years. The country is tell by Princes, who owe feudal duty to the reigaing Em who obliges them to reside for six months in tbe y Jeddo, with their families; during the otiier six months he allows them to visit their estates, but keeps thei fam) lies hostages in Jeddo, This restrains them, and the practice is intended to prevent the Princes from ¢ too much influence over the people. [bis ditt cover What the military system of the empires, but that it must have the power of bring an immense numver of men into the fleid is beyond doubt. They haye mume- rous and well appointed batteries. thing Japanese, bears astriking con rything Chinese. You cannot be tive minutes in Japan without seeing it is a progressive nation—the country towns, hoses and people, al) show this, The streets are wide and payed in the centre, houses open throughout on the ground floor, with matting formed in frames, fitting neatly all over the room». On this they sit, sleep and eat, and everything is kept scrupulously « Bebind each’ house is a smal! garden, with a few shrubs and occasionally a tine tree, one great characteristic of the J; stantly washing in the most open re surprise, a& we wandered the first day through the str wa saw two or three ladies quietly sitting in tubs in front of ther doorg washing themselves with the utmost an concern, traffic and business through the etreet going on past them as usual. We understood afterwards it was & general custom, The Japanese ure cager for knowledge, Never was there a people more ready to adapt theme! vee tothe changes and progress of the world than they are. Tt is curious that while some of their © what we would deem rather barbaro are ignorant of many commor they” still rip themselves up, and shoe ther horses with straw | because ignorant of any other method, they have | jumped to a knowledge of certain branches of science which it has. ta ations in Europe hundreds of | years to attain. At Nagasaki they cau turn out of their | yard an engine for a railway or steamer; Japanese cap: tains and engineers command their men-ot-war, of whieh three are steamers; they understand the electric tole. vaph; they make thermometers and barome healos fiten; ands believe, aneroids, ‘Their wpy yinsxes and tm} } croscopes are good, and very cheap. They have a large glass manufactory which ns out glass little inferior to ovr own. They have ashort jine of railway somewhere | in the interior, given by the Amer! Many of them speak Dutch, some Englith—all anxious to learn: every. thing is done by themselves, and when it is considered that itis not mich more than ten years ago since they made this start, tbe advance they haye made in that suort time is perfectly wonderful ‘A yacht having been sent by the Queen to be viven to the Emperor of Japan, we left Nagaswki with her for that place, Our squadron consisting, besides Ler, only of the Retribution ana a gunboat.

They are are built of one uniform shape, The gateways lead ing to the courtyard are execedingly handsome, of massive wood work, ornamented with lacquer and other deviees.
