It became quite gemerally knewn to persons about town at an carly period bot week that the Pope had sent the Sardinian Ambassa- der bis prsports, and it naturally was expected that the etter would immediately take down his arms, pack up ‘and leave, when it was feared, and also hoped by many, ‘mat some demonstration would appear in favor of the yrinaples sopposed to be represented by his government. ‘But’ day followed day, in slow succession to those who ‘were on tho alert either to catch the first symptoms of ‘waquiet and danger £0 soon as the closely watched arms ‘wore removed, or to observe the precaution of govern- ment officials to prevent these occurrences; and ex- eotansy began to bo changed to disappointinent and pain when, on Sunday, it was observed the shield had been taken in, and that he who had received his dis- maeeal as Ambassador se leng before had at length ‘withdrawn the last symbol which bad declared his posi- fiom, and was about to leave the scene of his officm erties, Of eourse there were not a few persons who, acquaint- e@ with the circumstances, wore desirous of catching a gimnpeo at least of the victim’s carriage if not of himself, and hence, perhaps, the streets through which it was sup- peeod he would pass contained rather more people than erdimary. About the middie of the afternoon large num- ders of solders were to be seen coming into the Curso, amé forming in the squares of the upper part of the city, ‘whieh was, as usually is the case, the cause of attracting fhe attention of everybody out, and leading them to sup- pose something unusual was going on, and inciting them fe inquiries; and if before there had been persons whe nad been unaware of anything ont of the common coarse, pew all were shortly into the knowledge of the entire af- fair, hence producing just what the government most ‘wished to avoid—any great publicity of what was occur- ‘At the extremities of all the streets leading from and tte the Corso were stationed bodies of soldiers, whose @aty itseemed to be to eee that no crowd should any- where assemble, and to keep everybody in motion, fm one direction er another. Egress from any of those streets into the Corso was not allowed, or at any rate was refused me at three points, but I finally got in through a port of gist, Everybody expected from the fact that the seldiers 20 Bned we Corno, as well as from the proximity of the ‘Ambassador's residence to this street, that he would pass up it; but there is where the government came the dodge ever us: he was quietly sent from his residenc'near the well knewn Hotel d’Angleterre, by a by street, around t> tho Piazza di Spagna, and from there up avother not much frequented street to the Piazza del Popolo, and 80 on out the gate of the same name. Thus he was got rid of as quietly, and about as uncourteously as would have been done ‘under the rule of the Inquisition. I understand that for five miles outside of the Porta del Popolo mounted gens d’armes were stationed at close intervals to see that ‘the cheat carried on inside should not be turned against ‘Shem through incaution outside. As it was, not the slightest Move that could excite suspicion took place; and I hardly ‘think any would bave occurred bad he have been allow- eda free course up the Corso. The peopl here must by this time have learned the supreme folly of any such act, when, as its consequences, every mother’s son of them would be sure to be shot down like so many dogs, no matter how inconsistent such a course would aj ‘when compared to the recent acts of the French in North Ukaly. So accustomed is a French soldier to obedience, that I doubt not but they would unmercilessly crush out any attempt at disorder, though perhaps in a reflective mo- ‘ment they would to a man be in favor of the very thing they were destroying. Agentleman here, a member of the French Club, told me but yesterday that he knew fram paren observa- ‘ion and conversation that the French here were all of hberal ideas; that strongly bs 6 eugene with the late movements in North Italy, and that he f Akeved that should the Emperor prove triclish and false to ‘what he so shortly ago declared to be his motives, the; ‘unanimously him. Their posi- tion here as keepers down the appears hardly reconcileable with such assertions; but as my informant is a gentleman of high position, socially and eivily, I give his opinions and remarks ss he stated them, and leave every one to judge for himself of their eonsistency. I presume it must appear to every one that the course adopted by the government was short sighted and ill chosen. Had it feitan inherent strength I cannot eonceive why its directors should have decided upon aaeetag rock an important affair of what was in reality ‘Dut a little thing. eir action evidenced at once that ‘they have no reliance! on the affection or order of the , and made really important matter for byes reg to every press in Europe, only to be bi d abroad in their next morning sheets. they have re- Kied on the knowledge that the people have of the presence and efficiency of the French garrison, and consequently ‘the futility of any amount of patriotic cheers, they might to-day have looked their eneiies boldly in the face; but as itis, they have not only shown, their weakness, but that they know and fear it accordingly, and have given ‘their opposers a better hand than the loudest shouts of the few men or boys who would have dared to do se eould have given. ; To be sure, it may, on the contrary, be said that thé departing Ambassador chose Sunday for leaving, when he knew all classes would be at leisure and be out in the streets where he hoped to pass, and that he may thus have encouraged any rebellious feeling which the people entertain; but I doubt this being near sufficient to over- ‘come the awe inspired by the presence of a garrison of nine or ten thousand efficient French soldiers. Upon ar- riving in Florence I haye no doubt but that the Ambassa- dor was made much of. Recent events in the Duchies and the Le show ‘the utmost determination on the side of the people. All the demands necessary to support and keep the army efficient are responded to with the greatest liberality; a gabseripiion proposed by Garibaldi for 1,000,000 francs, to buy muskets, &c., has been received most favorably: onall sides. Decrees have been published at Bologna, declaring the last acts to annefation to Sardinia com- pleted, and prescribing that herceforth all public docu- * ments shall be headed by the words, “In the reign of his Majesty King Victor Emanuel.”’ Fétes in all parts of the ere were held in honor of the declarations. Tuscan government has declared that the old sys- tem of coinage shall be abolished, and that the Sardinian Mra, or franc, be substituted, and various others, clinch. , a8 it were, the annexation. Things must assume a t aspect in those countries before long. ing see In this city the opinion seems to be rapidly ay ound that Napoleon will deceive Italy, and finally finceir badly cheated. Scarcely any one is to be found ‘Dut who believes that though he inue favorable to tho ‘Duchies, he will declare the Legations poo continue under bey Of the’ most despicable t meng on ral e rnment ¢: on ‘God’s earth.

But it is the duty of the journalist to speculate on all questions that may in- terest the pubhec mind, how vast and momentous soever may be the issues which they involve—even should they embrace the political and moral, the social and re! prospects of the whole civilized world. And all popes may be colored, brightened or darkened in an incalculable degree by the future relations between the hia revolted subjects, and by the course which the various Catholic Powers may be led to take, ‘the restoration of the Papal Rovernment by any other means than an armed foreign intervention is utterly im- possible. The treaty of Zurich, repeating the prelimina- ries of Villafranca, binds the contracting partics to recommend administrative reforms to the Pope. But what ified can ever bind the Pope to act on the recom- mendation? Both Austria and France, at the very mo- men of signing the treaty must have been aware that ils execution, as regards this clause at least, will be as im- practicable u a similar Ni omragte oo ven to Queen ria to rule on purely despotic principles, an en; ment on the part ef the Emperor of Bee Tonel to debated the entire French army, or a pledge by the Emperor of Austria to favor and foster the separate nationall- ties beneath his sceptre. Papal reform is synonymous with Papal suicide. Other governments may attempt to draw the distinction between a limited temporal and a boundless spiritual authority sbut Rome herself will never acknow- ledge such a distinction to be just. Just imagine a Power ruling over the hearts and consciences of mankind in the removest corners of the earth, and subject to the of a general election and to be outvoted on the estimates ; @ Power, whoee decrees are infallible in all that concerns the highest interests of our race, led to listen to and adopt the roagentions of municipal cory Ee agreed matters baa wil ah a Power at once irresponsil responsible, infal- ible and erring, omnipotent tnd powerless, can, In the eyes of any thi politician, be ‘nothing ‘else than the strangest anomaly world ever saw; it will certainly not be led as an inviting field for administrative and political form. Ita own subjects pronounce the attempt to Re honaiiee: ss re can easily imagine the embarrassment of the Emperor of the French to be extreme. He has under the special protection of the Papal government. He has also under- taken the special protection of Italian liberty. ‘The Papal wer and Italian liberty are in open warfare; the Italians ave revolted from the Pope; the Pope is denouncing the Italians. His denunciations are echoed by the Catholic pre- lacy all over Burope—by none so loudly as by the prelates of the Gallican Church, It is most probable, it is almost eer- tain, that within a few months, perhaps within a few weeks—nay, the event might occur within a few days— the Romagna will be attacked by the Papal troops. It is still more certain that at the first menace of an armed intervention in the Duchies the troops of Central Italy, under the command of Garibaldi and will take he whole Roman question into their own hands, and sweep defore them vestige of the Papal rife as far as the Neapolitan frontier. And it may be questioned of Urey “in tt possi, the in possibility, probability, we might almost say this certainty, the immediate intervention of Austria may be anticipated. What part would France then play? What extension would this Roman question then assume? are questions which every statesman must feel to be extremely serious. Every ish statesman, at least, who possesses a due sense of responsibility to his own country and to civilized Europe, on whose fate his decisions will exort an influence, must be imbued with the conviction that no means should be left untried to avert the dangers which he cannot fail to foresee.

The steamship Asia, from New York, arrived at Liver- pool at 3 P. M. of the 24th, THE ZURICH CONFERENCES. Nothing had transpired in regard to the Zurich Confe- rences and peace treaties since the departure of the Ame} ica. The summary of the treaty between France and Austria, as telegraphed from Zurich, was published exclu- sively in the English journals, but was subsequently re- produced in the Paris and Vienna journals without any guarantees for its authenticity. At the latest dates Count Coloredo still survived, but had not beem restored to consciousness, and there were no hopes of his recovery. GREAT BRITAIN. Arrangements bave been completed by the Cunard Company for all their steamers running between Liverpool and Boston to make Queenstown a port of call eut and ‘home. The arrangement goes into effect with the Canada, leaving Liverpool on the 6th of November. ‘The London Times, in publishing Commodore Tatnall’s despatch relative to the operations at tho mouth of the Peiho, editorially eulogizes it, and says if any defence were needed for the acts of the British Minister and Ad- miral in those distant regions, it would be found in the despatch, which it has had the pleasure of printing. Sir George Grey is understood to have been reappointed Governor of the Cape of Good Hope. ‘There is nothing new in regard to the Great Eastern. ‘Tho authorities of Bristol were making efforts to get her ‘te come to that port after her projected trip to the Moditer ranean. ‘The new Eanl of Jersey, who succoeded to the earldom on the death of his father on the 3d of October, died on the 24th. Sir John Dean Paul and Strahan, the ex-London bankers, have been released from prison, after haying undergone four yeaus penal servitude. ‘ ‘The first battalion of the military train for China was under orders to depart overland. ‘The strike of the London builders continued, and there were indications that it was beginning to tell seriously against the men who refused to resume work. The divi- dend was diminishing, and a reselution was adopted to appeal to the public for support. Recent returns show excessive mortality among the wives and families of the operatives in the building trade, and there was far that scores of innocent persons and young children were perisbing from sheer want. ‘The weather in England had been unusually severe for the season. Heavy frosts prevailed, and a considerable quantity of snow had fallen. Parliament is further prorogued to*December 15. + FRANCE. ‘The Paris Comstitutionnel, in an article signed by its principal editor, in reply to the assertion of the English press that the policy of the Emperor has left a state o political incertitude in Europe, states the aim proposed by the Emperor at the beginning of the war, and compares it with the advantages gained, and accuses the English journals.of inconsistency. ‘The Paris correspondents of the London journals geno- rally indulge in gloomy forebodings. The writer for the London Herald states plainly that the impression gained ground that a rupture between France and England was imminent. Seyeral provincial journals had published simultaneously violent articles against England, which are known to have been supplied by a government official. England is warned that the hour of trial approaches which May put an end to her greatness for ever. hi The Paris correspondent of the London Post aszerta that Megotiations were still going on between the governments of England and Franee, in order to complete the arrange- ments for jeint expedition to China, whilé on the ether band the correspondent of the London Topeate the statement that the Chinese preparations are suspended. ‘The Moniteur de V Armée states that the Obinese eom- mander of the forts on the Picho om the 24th of June had “reeetved a brilliant reward from the Emperor of China, baving been named imo of the Chinese armics, and a Mandarin of the highest class. ‘The number of pastorals issued by the French bishops on the political situation of the Pope amounted to thirty- nine, and it was supposed that the Archbishop of Bor- deaux was about publishing a pastoral dn the occasion of his intended visit to Rome. ‘The London Times’ Paris correspondent gives & report that thePrench force to China, originally fixed at twelve thousand men, is reduced to six thousand, and will not be despatched before February. General Bedeau and Dr. Landesat had availed them- selves of the amnesty and returned to France. ‘The Emperor received the Board of Management of the Suez Canal, and some political’ significance was attached to the event. The agent in London refused to be present. The recent inundations in the south of France caused much damage, both to life and property. ‘The accounts from the French manufacturing districts were generally unfavorable. ; Tho Bourse had been dull and lower; but on the 25th Aho decline was nearly recovered, and the rentes closed ‘firm at 69f. 45c. The Paris flour market was firm. Wheat heavy and sales difficult, ‘The price of brandies had risen throughout France, Tray. Tt was reported at Turin that Gen. de la Marmora would soon retire from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and be sueceeded by Count Cavour. The Pope returned to Rome the 20th. A great crowd assembled on his passage through the city. ‘The government of Rome had recetved intelligence that the Bishop of Rimini and other priests had been im- prisoned, and that the authorities of Pesaro had seon let- ters from emissaries exciting rebellion in the provinces now hela in submission by Papal troops. ‘The reports of disturbances at Palermo are confirmed. The conflict between the troops and people began on the 9th and lasted till the 11th. At Bagliera, near Palermo, quiet had been restored, but Palermo was in abtate of siege. ‘The interview between the Pope and the King of Naples has been adjourned. Conferences had been held between the Pope and the French Ambassador, and it was stated that ordinances granting administrative reforms, were ready and would soon be published. SPAIN. The difficulty between Spain and Morocoo had reached acrises, the Spanish government having formally an- nounced its intention to commence hostilities. ‘We have the following despatches from Madrid on this subject:-— Zs Mapai, Oct. 22, 1859. ‘The government has declared to the Cortez, in the sit- ting of to-day, that it was going to begin war with Moroc- co. The declaration was received with great enthusiasm. All political parties in the Senate and the Congress have offered their support to the Ministry. ‘The newspapers express the same patriotic feeling. General O'Donnell announced that the government had ordered its representative at Tangiers to take his de- parture. Maprm, Oct. 23, 1859. ‘The Correspondent Autografa announces that the corps @drmée destined for Africa will most likely be organized about the middle of the week, when General O’Donnell will Jeave. ‘The same paper is not yet aware whether the Spanish Consul in Tangiers has arrived in Spain. ‘Manan, Oct. 24, 1859, It is asserted that Ministers have stated that they will not have reeourge toa loan, and that the floating debt will not be augmented, but that the taxes will be in- creased. A Paris journal declares that a declaration of war by Spain against Morocco has been strongly urged by France. ‘The London Shipping Gasette of the 24th says, we have reason to believe there will be no war between Spain and Morocco, the Moors having made the required conces- sions. Accounts from various ports of Spain, however, continue to speak.of great preparations for the war with Morocco, and that troops are collecting in every port for conveyance to Africa. A Paris dospatch says:—O’Donnell bad actually set out for Africa. A Paris letter in LeNord asserts that Palmerston had declared to the French Ambassador that England would not suffer Spain to occupy both sides of the Straits, and would oppose it by force. The English Cabinet, he said, would make the question an European one. ‘The London Zimes 1s of the opinion that any danger to Europe or to the British possession of Gibraitar from the Spanish enterprise against Moroceo ‘is absurd, but an at tack by France on the independence of Morocco, and an attempt to add its territory to Algeria, would justify the strongest remonstrances in behaif of Europe. The London Daily News thinks the alliance between France and Spain against Morocco, or at any rate war simultaneously threatened by both Powers against her, ag by no means reassuring to England, ‘The London Times’ Paris correspondent says the conver- sation between Lord Palmerston and the French Am- baseador in London, as reported by Le Nord, has caused mich emotion in Paris, while the French government had asserted that it would not change its policy as regards Morocco, Spain had repeated its disavowal of the ambitious project attributed to her, ‘The Paris correspondent of the London Daily News is assured that M. Mon had sent a despatch to say that Eng- land is no longer opposed to the expedition against Morocco. MOROCCO. Later advices from Tangiers states that Mr. George V. Brown, the United States Consul, was preparing to leave for Gibralter, taking with him all his baggage, horses, &o° It was expected that the Spanish fgrces would make the attack by sea and land, and afterwards occupy Tetwan and Tangiers. The French expeditionary corps was ready totake tho field. Indemnity for depredations is to be claimed, and secu- rity for the French colonists obtained by rectifying the line of frontier. ‘It was stated that the French soldiers which were made prisoners on the 8lst of August, had all been burnt alive by the Moors. The Frence troops were burning te take revenge for this act. PRUSSIA. Great preparations were being made in Germany to celebrate Schiller Festival. The Prussian Minister of Police had refused to allow a projected torchlight pro- cession in Berlin, a democratic demonstration being feared. The Foreign Minister had received a Tuscan deputation, ang virtually stated that the Prussian vote will not be op- pesed to the wishes of the Tuscan people. AUSTRIA. The Vienna Gazefle announces that Baron Von Hubner, Minister of Police, had tendered his resignation, and that it was accepted. Baron Thierney, Ministerial Councillor in the Department for Foreign Affairs, succeeded to the Ministry of Police. The new minister summoned to his office the editors of the different papers, and notified them ina friendly manner that the ministerial programme of August last has been modified. ‘The retirement of General Aide de Camp Count Grunne is also announced. On the 2th a report was current that Baron Von Bruck had retired from the Ministry of France, and caused some discussion in the funds at Vienna. ‘The Austrian correspondence subseqhently contradictod all the rumors of his retirement from the Ministry, and denied that any difficulties existed in the Cabinet. RUSSIA. ‘The reports of an intended interview between the Em- perors of Russia and Austria are pronounced unfounded. INDIA.

Blessing Bells by Archbishop Hughes, On Sunday evening the Archbishop performed the n- teresting ceremony of blessing two bells at the church of St. Francis Seraph, in Thirty-first street, between Sixth and Seventh avenues. This edifice, which is dedicated to the service of the Catholic Germanf population in that part of upper New York, was completely filled on the oo- casion. ‘The two bells, which were placed on stands outside the altar railing, were tastefully ornamented with artificial flowers. They weigh respectively 787 pounds and 409 pounds, and were cast in the foundry of Menecly, West Troy, N. Y., and cost $480. At four o'clock the Archbishop entered the church, pre- ceded by a procession of boys and girls, ‘by tho Rev. Father Rodolpb, and bearmg bannors, tho girls dressed in white and wearing wreaths, the organ pealing forth the Veni Oreator.

Fires in New York. Fire in Tmkry-seventa Srrxet.—Shortly after three o’clock on Sunday morning a fire broke “out in a frame stable belonging to Hiram Frazee, situated on rear of lot No. 360 West Thirty-seventh street, between Tenth and Fleventh avenues. At the time the fire was discovered Mr. Frazee hed six horses in the stable. They were all got out without injury. The firemen were quickly at work, and prevented the flames from spreading to adjoin- ing property. The gablo end, however, of a frame build- ing on rear of lot No. 361 Thirty-sixth street, was slightly damaged. This building belongs to Robert B. Leete, gold and silver refiner, and was not insured. Mr. Frazee bas an insurance of $100 on the stable in the Greenwich Fire Insurance Company, and $600 on horses, $100 on harness, and $50 on in the Peter Cooper Ingurance Company. to building will be over $100, and about on feed, and some little di to harness. ‘The frame dwelling front of the lot is owned by Mr. Frazee, fe is ba es for ee the beet In- surance Company. There was no damage to but a few fences, &c., were broken down. me fire is believed to be the work of an incendiary, from the fact of the Fire Marshal ascertaining from Mr. Frazee that he was the first person at the stable door; that he found tie padlock away, and the door only kept closed bya hook. The padlock was subsequently found on the ground by the door, unlocked. There is, we understand, a per- ‘son suspected, whom the Marshal and the police are after. It is hoped he will be brought to justice.

Interating Wimes Among the Saints and Gentiles—Another Murder—The State Fair—fhe Ovops—The Federal Of- Scert—General Conference, ic., dc. Keonomy is a great thing—of course it is. The Postmas- ter General has decreed that a fow thousand dollars must be saved somewhere, and so he has pitebed upon our mail route, and decreed that we are to have only communica- tion with and from the civilized outside at the very mo- derate rate of twice a month, Kingdoms and thronés, in this fut age, totter and fallin less than fourteen days; but as ‘* the powers that be”? have concluded that we are at peace and never think of revvlution, the postal arrange- ment is to be considered good enough, and of course “the rest of mankind’? will think 80, We up here, neverthe- lees, think differently; and we, ‘this poople”—we, the Jews and Gentilese—we, the soldiers and civilians—we, the merchants and gamblers—and, in fact, we, everybody, consider it very popular to grumble considerably at the somebody's parsimony who suggested the semi-monthly mailto great Salt Lake City—which, by the bye, some- times turns out to be a big fortnight of twenty-one days, as in the present instance, sinee the departure of the last mail for the East. Ob! while 1 am on that subject, letme say that the contractors entertain some notion of claiming drmages—so Iam informed. They make it their business to cailfor the mail bags every week, as their express Keeps on running as before. They get refused, but that’s nothing. They will one day make claims, no doubt of it, and very likely, too, be paid, while we are deprived of the privilege of communication on every kind of business. ‘Aside from numerous peculiarities, Utah promises fair to become an inter 1g portion of Uncle Sam’s domin- jonas. Only think of it!—a murder, a suicide,a dancing party, a grand supper, a ‘State Fair,” with horse racing, and a ‘General Conference of the Church of Jesus of Latter Day Saints,” r with numerous departures: and arrivals of distingui officials, all in this one city, and all in the short interval of rest allotted to the mail contractor’s mules. Let us go on in this way only a little longer and the most obstinate will soon be converted to the faith that Utah deserves more than asemi-monthly mail. But for the news. ‘THY MURDERER AND THE MURDERED ‘This time are entiles, and both from the State of New York. The frmer, Thomas H. Ferguson, is a young man of twenty-five years of age, by occupation a shoe- waker. The latter, Alexander Carpenter, man of thirty- six, a husband and the father of three children. Ferguson {s said to be a native of Albany; but for the sake of his parents he is silent on his birthplace. I visit- ‘ed him in his cell the day before yesterday, and on mak- ing that inquiry he answered that none knew the where- abouts of his parents, and he should now give no informa- tion. Respecting this feeling in the unfortunate man, I asked no further questions and leit him. He is, however, well known on the Plains. For years back he has been ‘an intimate aszociate of tbe roughest mountaineers. He came to this only «few months ago and worked at bis trade with Carpenter, whom he killed on the morning of the 17th ult. Carpenter is from Herkimer county, N. Y. For four years previous to coming to this Territory he lived in the city of La Crosse, Wisconsin, where be carried on the ‘Dusinces of boot and shoe making. Report has it here that he also was a murderer. It is said that he killed his partner, one Turner, at Fort Bridger, and after some kind of trial he came here with their stock in trade. Whatever he may have been before coming to this place is of like consequence now, but while here he was regarded as other business men, only in pursuit cf the almighty dollar and in general af- faire no worse than nine-tenths of his neighbors of that class. * ‘TU DEKD AND THE MOTIVE. ‘There is frequently in other parts of the earth consider- able romance and deep thrilling tragedy about murders: out Weet things are somewhat different. A few back handed compliments are all that are necessary to bring out a Colt—a kind of business transaction. John insults Peter, or Peter thinks that John insults him, or there is something in John’s style of talking that gives offence to Peter, and Peter concludes that Join deserves chastise- ment, and as business Is business, and no time should be lost, Peter sends half an ounce of lead through John’s body. John quivers and dies; Peter may or may not be apprehended—sometimes apprehension follows, but - demnation seldom or never occurs. Lawyers, judges, witnesses and jury get tired out; the case gets set aside and teldom gets off the shelf again. The Mormons, course, never let slip an opportunity of telling the Gentiles of the assistance federal officers have rendered to crimi nals, and charge home upon them that they are the abet- tors of crime. Be they innocent or guilty of screening the accused, it is none the less true that before the arrival of the army and their followers in this valley only one mur- der was known in this city during ten years, and not less than ten murders have committed di the last twelve months. “Thereto hangs a tale,” and the Mor- mons tell the tale with great gusto. Yet,after all, the faith- ful are not guilty of agree a such they are purely Gentile. ‘The Sunday der referred to one of the chief dignitaries was ver, in his views of tabernacie. He the listening thousands what had that the once peaceful city was again of another murder. The giv the mission of the wicked to sla; them success in their mission, and mind their own business. To this well and brief statemers the congregation added a hearty amen. Ferguson cannot be well said to haye had a motivefor i ter. He was in the employ of the lat- ter, boarded in house, and was on the most friend! tekine'with bisa aud’ his family. ‘The night before thy tragedy Carpenter's store had been forcibly entered, and $1,500 and a basket of champagne stolen. Early the fol- lowing morning Ferguson went reeling to the store, and Carpenter is said to have accused him of Lange yb the theft. Furguson drew his revolver, and penter wrenched it from him. Ferguson soon after obtained possession of his pistol and fol- Jowed Carpenter to his store. Without a he drew upon him and shot him through the heart. Fergueon fled and escaped for a short time, but in after- wards changing his place of concealment he was appre- hended and placed in confinement. Judge Sinclair made short work of this case and gained laurels from the com- munity. In one day the whole business was gone through before the court, and Ferguson was sentenced to be hung on the 28th of the present month. This will make the first execution of a white skin in the Territory. Some Indians have undergone the extreme penalty of the law, but the white criminals have heretofore escaped the halter that they merited quite as much as the less fortunate Indian. Every kind of rumor was in circulation about delivering Ferguson from the hands of justice, but the city authori- ties have taken every precaution, and his escape seems impossible. When I saw the prisoner he seemed fully satisfied that his days were numbered. ‘THE SUICIDE. The unfortunate victim of remorse that has fallen by his own bands was a person following the profession of a butcher in the city. Two or three years ago he hada bakery store in Yorkville, N. Y. The Gentile press here gjgongly insinuates that Gheen fell by other hands, but my iftestigation of the evidence of his family on the state of his mind, and his irregular actions during the day, satis- fies me that the reverse of fortune had preyed upon his mind and led to the fearful crime of self-destruction. ‘THE STATE FAIR. During the first three days of the present week the an- nual fair of the Deseret Agricaltural and Manufacturing Association was held in the Social Hall of this city—the object of the'fair being the ment of native labor and the establishment of home manutactures. The ex- word hibition this year was well attonded by persons from every part of the Territory who take an interest in the ri- ty of ‘this people.” The city has consequently " very lively, and the storekeepers have done considerable business. ‘The exhibition this year is said te have been much behind the exhibitions of previous years, the ex- odus to the South on the entry of the army having entire- y Caadien og soueral erotind Becca in the Spang ey and prevented the people generally from engaging in more than was absolutely necessary to restore their farms and lots to there former condition. —Notwithstand: drawback, there were many .things on exhibition & creditable to the founders of home man In a fow years, should peace continue, which is highly probable, ihe citizens of this Territory will need but little from out: side. ‘The articles that attracted most attention were mountain leather, vegetables corn. The fruit was also excellent. Governor Cumming and his lady, likewise the federal officers now in the city, bad a special invitation to visit the exhibition at its opening: which they honored with their presence and seemed highly pleased with the skill of the mecha- nics and the produce of the earth. While I was in ball I had a good opportunity of learning from the ers of ‘THR CROPS OF THE TERRITORY. On account of a very late spring and-a very early hot summer, the wheat crops this season are gene light.

The fruit was early injured by a severe notwithstanding crops have not bad. Howes am rally are a failure, but in some the yi has deen excellent. Aaron Daniels, Provo , raised ot hundred bushels to the acre; and at the same place Jeff. Patterson raised eighty bushels of corn to the acre on oe mountain land, barren and unfruitful as it general- ly is. The sorghum sucre cane promises to be a great blessing to the country. In some places they have not been able to bring it to maturity, but it has been a perfect success in most counties. Here, in this city, the sugar cane patches are as common as potato patches. Le geri assured me that, besides raising fine cane, he twenty-seven bushels of seed from the third of an acre. One of the Apostles and the President of the Seventies have each started roils in this city for making molasses from the cane, which, I am informed, juce about one gallon of molatees from five gallons of juice. Molasses has been from the States and sold at $8 « gallon; Fi Seam el rt a codrrane, are managag ‘The Mormons, ever in 'y to make sugar mills from the cast iron boxes from old gov- ernment wagons.
