10 Oritieal Examination of the Latter Day Sainte—How They Appesr to An Unconverted Wanderer in Th: ir Midst— A Prosperous Community in # Gola Country Existing Without M ey—Gold as a Circulating Medium, OUB SALT LAKE CITY CORRESPONDENCE. Great Satr Lage Crrv, Doc, 20, 1865. 4 Close YEW OF UTAH. Notwithstanding the fact that the members of Mr. Col- fax’s party are, seriatim, publishing their notes upon the “Territories,” there may be some little items of interest loft for a more humble observer to chronicle. Those who sweep “acrogs the continent” in the aristocratic coach and four from the Missouri river to this city in about twelve days gee the country as in a panorama, and know little of tho adventures, troubles and trials of the toiling emi- grants and feighters who gaze so wistfully upon them as they rattle past. Bitter creek, that ‘middle passage”’ to the pilgrims, they only know as along stretch of very heavy, disagreeable travel, and cannot realize how joy- fully those pligrims hail the first sight of the beautiful Green river and the green grass on its banks, and urge . forward their weak animals, whose gaunt frames tell tho long story of the hundred mile stretch of deep sand, no grass and poison water, They know not how sweetly at last, after the three months’ loneliness of the journey from the States, whon the emigrant emerges from the romantic defiles of Echo Canon into the smiling valley of the Weber, the first sounds of transmontane civilization fall upon his ear like a dream of home, the hum of the thrashing machine, the halloo of the ploughman, the laughter of women and children (instead of the yolls of the coyotes); and how grateful to the eyo is the aight of the yellow grain flelds—of men who don’t wear buckskin breeches or crack blacksnake whips—of cosy homes. No wonder that the swarms of European emigrants that yearly make the journey over the plains are almost prepared by that ‘probation of doaolation’’ to think Salt Lake valley—what the Mor- mon missionaries tell them it 1s—an earthly Zion, No wonder that even the Gentile’? wanderer is disposed to regard with kindly feclings and a sort of admiration the people whose praiseworthy energy has made the wilder- ness to blossom like the rose, and to overlook their tri- fling facits of polygamy, disloyalty, &c. One of these Gentile wander:rs am I; one who has come, to use a Mormon simile, “ not to build up Zion,” but, sneaking in, to “grub up’ the golden streets if he gets a chance.” A long way back on the plains had we questioned those we met in regard to the Mormon com- munity, and our curiosity had been much excited by the replies, Even the Indians had some queer tales to tell us about the “heap-squaw white men.’’ Consequently, when we actually arrived in the Mormon settlements, it was with somewhat the feelings that the Southern “corn- crackers’’ used to experience at the first sight of Yankee prisoners when they found that they didn’t have borns or wear their heads under their shoulders, after all. “Why, they're jist like us,’ was the flattering conclusion of the Buckra; and to a similar conclusion did we arrive in regard to the “saints.” We became familiarized at once; the abstract Mormon question sank into insignifi- cance beside the concrete delight of cating fresh things, to take from our palates. tho tasie of bacon. None the worse did these things taste because one wife would brmg us acup of milk, another go down into the cellar for butter, and a tnird, fourth and fifth minister to us with cheer potatoes and peaches, while the patriarchal saint himsel!, “monarch of all he surveyed,” would order to their dens some twentt to forty children (who would crowd round us like sol- diors round a sutler’s wagon), and gracionsly recoive our offering of fractional currency. We speedily came to our second sage conclusion about the Mormons—tho saints are very fond of money; and, right on the heels of this (when our loose cash was sp'nt), to our third con- <lusion—namely, that money is scarcer h:re than m any place we over saw, It is a money famine almost, DOING BUSINESS WITHOUT MONRY, e tight money markets sometimes in the ve read of how semi-savage nations ‘*barter.

THE SOUTHERN ROADS. Reopening of the Norfolk and Petersburg Rallroad. OUR RICHMOND CORRESPONDENCE, i Ricawonp, Feb, 18, 1866. Excursionary Trips ty the Governor, State Legislature and Petersburg and Norfolk Common Councilse—Incidents 0 the Trip—Past, Present and Prospective Condition of the Road, @e. Another and substantial and altogether one of the most pleasing evidences of progreasive reconstruction succeeding the sad havoc of war has just shown itself in the completion of the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad.” This road was opened yesterday and tho first through train run from here to Norfolk. To properly inaugurate the opening and give becoming and dignified éclat to the occasion General Mahone, President of the road, invited Governor Picrpoint and the members of the State Legis- lature to make the excursionary trip over the road. The invitations were accepted, and the party left this city a half-past three P. M. yesterday, proceeding by rail to Petersburg. At six P. M. the excursionists were fairly on their way on the newly opened road. A new engine and new pas- senger cars, handsomely fitted up, comprised the train. Slowly the train started on leaving the Cockade City. There ‘was much of interest here to be sech. Many of the ex- cursiouists had spent long and anxious months in this vicinity; but their sojourn was behind earthworks and under the almost ceaseless firo ef bullets and flercest shelling. Except the immediate line of the road the external conformation of the ground bas not been much changed, The ponderous carthworks, a dimmutive mountain range in appearance, abattis, chevaux de frise and stockades are there still, and so aro thegbare and desolate camp rains and burned dwellings and rusty muskets, and those saddest and most memorable mementoes of all—soldiers’ gravese Sight of this old battle field, the most illustrious of all the battle fields of the war, brought up many remin- isceuces and recitals of marches, charges, ambushing, intrenching and hand-to-hand conflicts. At length we let behind us the scenes of Grant's brilliant victories, and whero was dealt the deathblow to the revolu- tion, The road is in excellent condition. At speed of the wind we passed villages and hamlets, and thundered over bridges and through p 9 forests, ‘The Dismal Swamp, which we passed, elicited, of conrse, its proper share of notice. Only three stoppages were made, and these for wood and water, The distance of eighty miles was mado in a little over three hours, and it seemed much less time than this, the party were in such enjoyable tune, and such pains boing taken to make the journey pleasant. Arrived at Norfolk, Mayor Tabb and members of the Common Council and the officers at that end of the road, headed by Henry Fink, Superintendent; Colonel Thomas Corprew, Treasurer, und Colonel .V. D. Grover, agent at Norfolk, met the’ party and welcomed them, "Mayor Tabb mad> tho welcoming speech, to which Governor Pierpo.nt appropriately responded. A comfortable suppor awaited the party at the restaurant of Mr.E. 8, Pepper. Speeches and sentiments ensued, and it was late when the company rose and were escorted to the Atlantic Hotel, where rooms had been provided for them. ‘At ten o'clock this morning, through the invitation of Mr. H. V, Tompkins, agent of the now Baltimore line of steamers, the y took a sail down to Fortress Monroe and vicinity on the elegant and fast sailing steamer James T. Brady, Captain Landis. To those who had never been here before here was, of course, absorbing interest in noting as wore pointed out to them Craney Island, the oid moor- ing place of the Merrimac, the stretch of earthworks encir- cling Sewall’s Point, the scene of the sinking by the Merrimac of the United States frigates Congrees and of Newport News, and last, but not least, , within whose gray, grim walls still lin: gers Jeff. Davia, the once head and hope of the confede- racy. On the steamer a sumptuous collation was pro- vided. Hore were more outbursts of oratory, agreeably mngled with the oxhilarating flow of champagne and basr tluids—altogether a jovial yet dignified fea-t of rea- son and flow of soul. rpeaker Baldwin, Ces fgg mr ‘ot Harr'son county ; Colonel Gray, of Rockingham coun: ty; Mr, Hansbrough, of Staford county; Senator Robin- son, of Norfutk, and others did ihe speaking. 1 was happy to notice here, as on the evening previous—and I mention the fact as an emphatic rofuta- tion of the calumnivus statements touching the loyalty of the enple of Virginia—that a vein of sterling patriot- ism and devotion to the Union pervaded the speeches. All enjoyed the sail and the ropast immensely, and on retouching the whart and waving thanks and adieu, to Mr. Tompkins and C ptain Landis, started for the rail- road dept, and at one P.M. were on the return trip home. The excursioniats arrived here at haif. past seven P. M.,, sate, sound and well pleased. The only delay in going’ and returning was on the Richmond and Peters burg Rail asiow, tedious and ono-horse concern. Th» Noe.olk and Petersburg Rai'road, as will be re- momberd, was tunning eight years betore the war, Over a quarter of the road, which had been destroyed by onr armies, has had to be entirely r built, and the track of nearly as much more to be widened to secure uniormity of gauge, Through connections with the Southside, Virginia and Tennessee aud East Tennessce and Georgia railroady, this road will connect with Memphis. From Norfolk north it will connect with the Balt.more new line of stermers. Viewed inthe light of its connections there 1s not «more important railroad through the whole region of the vast South, Passenger trains will not commence running regularly until the :6th inst. Meantume thero are to be more ex- cursion trans.

On Monday next the trains will begin to run regularly, covnecting with Memphis south, and north with the new Baltimore line of steamers, Hancoch's Corps—A Pt from Its Mem- bers, TO THE EDITOR OF THE HRRALD.

It was rendered with good effect by the efficient double choir under the direction of Mr. W. F. Pecher, the solos being iven Mrs. Easten and Miss Henne and Messrs. ardt and Steud. The offertory was Roasini’s Sens San eee mentioned. © Sermon was ends Right Rev. Bishop Lynch, of Charleston, 8. C., who was introduced to the congregation by the r, Rev. William Quinn. The reverend prelate took for the text of his discourse, from the Gospel of tho (Luke xi., 17), the sentence, “Every kingdom di ‘against itself shall bo brought to desolation.” He then went on in an i and eloquent strain to show how in all ages and all countries the spirit of Christian charity and unity had charac- terized the Catholic Church; how it had withstood dis- sensions and assaults Cprting conned ‘and stood to-day as firm and united as it did thousands of years ago. He then showed how undivided the Catholic Church re- mained in this country during the late war, He paid a plowing tribute to the memory of the late Archbishop lughes, and a merited com, ent to the pastor of St. Peter’s, and proceeded then to trace the growth of the diocese of Charleston since its erection, forty-five years ago, to the commencement of the war, appropriately eulogizing the celebrated Bishop England. He then pictured, in an eloquont and pathetic manner, the pres- ent condition of the once beautiful ecctesiastical institu- tons of Charleston and the patient sufferings of its in- habitants, and closed with a fervent appeal to the Catholics of New York, asking that, from the abun- dance and supérabundance that was pouring out on this city, until it became the wonder of the world, they would contribute what they could to enable him to re- pair the losses and alleviate the woes of their suffering brethren at the South, stating that in this matter thoy should forget the past and heal the wounds that had ‘been made, and that all should gather in unity and har- mony, and that the way to do this was by rs spa d from heart to heart; that it was the heart which prompted the call, aud the heart responded, and the consequence was thata union of ge would be effected beyond all the ligatures that commerce could yield. Mrs. Lucretia Mott’s Discourse. SOMETHING ABOUT THE MILLENNIUM, WOMEN’S RIGUTS AND THR LAWS OF HEALTI, ETO. Mrs. Lucretia Mott, a member of the Society of Friends, delivered a long discourse on Sunday on miscellaneous matters, at tho Friends’ Mecting House in Twenty-seventh street, near Sixth avenue. Mra, Mott has been before the public as a lecturer on religious subjects for the last fifteen or twenty years, and the announcement that she was to speak on Sunday in the Friends’ meeting house drew together a large and mixed congregation. The meeting house is a large sized, plain iooking building. It is almost perfectly square in the interior, and has gal- leries around three sidea On the ground floor of the house, and at the north side, is a sinail gallery called the ‘Old Friends’ gallery,"’ where all the aged members of the congregation aro seated. At half-past ten o'clock Sunday morning ten sisters wore seated on the left hand side of the gallery, and on the right wore cight brothers, with heads covered, and all apparently buried in the deepest thought. The body of the house and g:l- leries were filled with “Friends” and “people of the world" in about equal numbers—tho one class to per- form their usual Sabbath day devotions, and the other attracted there by curiosity. . ‘The procecdings commenced with a pavse—a long pause—a pause of thirty minutes daration. The periect silence was only broken at intervals by a smothered cough, or the entrance of some late comor. At the ond of that time one of the “ old sisters’ divested herself of bonnet and cloak, stood up, and faced the audience. Dressed in the plasnest of the plain attire peculiar to the Society of Friet stnall in stature, and thin in person, sho appeared to be botween fiity and sixty years of age. ler features wore all prominent and well developed; forehead high and broad, chin prominent, and small sunken cyes of a grayish bine color, A strained and over anxious look took from ber countenance much of its pleasing expreasion. irs, Mott commenced, and throughout her discourse continued to in lear, articulate tone of vor Sho began by hoptng that the silence had been used by all to solicit strength from God and that they had in- voked the power of the highest to sanctify them with His trath—a truth of which Jesus spoke, of which the prophets oftentimes spoke, and by which the rights of the in every age of the world have been sanctified. This nineteenth century was called the Christian era, and nearly two thousand years had elapsed since the advent of Him whom we delight to honor, The truth wl our Saviour declared to tho world was no new truth; it had been deciared to the world thousands of yenrs Before by the prophets of old. But, in her opinion, the great truths of Christianity were as yet very imperfectly understood. Asan cvidence of which sho enutmet the differences between the numerous sects of Christians, The millennium they had read of ‘and heard spokon of-as an ovent which would take place hundreds of years hence she believed could be brovgtit about at once if people only had sufficient faith. By that she meant not so much any alteration in the out- ward observanc’s and ¢onditions of mankind as’ an inward and spiritual change, A vast deal remained to be done before the millennium could be brought about 4 the establishment of tree schools, free lbraries and other similar inetitut ons were steps in the right d rection, She did not betieve in any particular method being necesss for salvation, but did believe that the Quakers carr’ out more fully than any other sect the principles of peace and good will towards men. She thanked God for being a Hivkatte, for the at founder of that sect had spent many years of h‘s life teaching the pation to strike with heagt-and band for the freedom of the slaves; and it was @ matter of sincere thankCulness to bor that the great ob. ject ho had so much at heart had been thoroughly ac complished. The woman's question was thon taken up, Mrs, Mott saying that the time was fast approaching for women to ask higher recognition of their powors in all the various relations of life. She thought there ought to be more equality in the marriage relat.on, ee {at W omen onght not to be Fequired to promise “f obey.” The marriage contract ought to partake more of the nature of a “reciprocity treaty’ hgtween the sexes than it does at present. The lavish oxpenditure and profuse extrava- gance characterist.c of od pg time was commented on in severe terms, and a reiurn to the primitive simplicity of our forefathers earnestly advised. ‘The taws of health next engaged the lady's attention, and during her remarks on that subject she manazed to mix up the members of the Common Council with doc- tors of medicine, The one body, she said, bad a duty to perform in cleaning and keeping clean the streets of the city, while the others ought to ‘Taores on the young the great necessity of observing the laws of hea th. latter, she thought, would in time be so fully and tho- roughly accomplished that whenever a Joung Person fell sick they would look on it with as much horror as if a sin had been committed, and anxi ioquire what law of health bad been broken. After a addi- ‘ional rewarks of a religious nature, Mrs. Mott resamed pod ot pe on her bonnet and cloak, and silence again supreme. ‘Another sister rose, after fifteen minutes’ silence, — ina low tone of volce, said the truths they had heard were none the lens ul because a Woman uttered them. She thought tffe time was coming when greater pr:viloges would be accorded to women, and they would hold their proper position in the world. After another short interval of silence the whole as- semblage rose om masse and quietly dispersed. The Thirty-sizth An Brooklyn City olety. ‘The thirty-sixth anniversary of the Brooklyn City Mission and Tract Society was held in the Church of the Pilgrims Sunday evening, at half-past seven o'clock, The exercises tonsisted of reading of the Scriptures and prayer by the Rev.

It is well known that New York. takes the precedence of all other cities of the world for fast trotters, fine roadsters and magnificent carriage horses. Fabulous sums are paid every day for the genuine article, The fastest trotters all get here first or last, and fine weather brings the “good ones" out as thick as bees, and as busy too. New York, as it is particularly the home of the trotter, is also especially the home of tho ‘‘road man.”” ‘He is always a gentleman: of taste, and takes great pride in bis horses and things appertaining thereto. He knows a good horse, and can drive him, too. When differences of opinion arise about the speed of his horses he is ready to “put up” bis money, send his horse to the track, and, by public tnal, contest his claim to su periority with his rival, or show such time publicly as will decide the dispute. If he wins ho is satis- fied; if he loses he bears no malice. He is always trying to get something faster, and 1s willing to pay for it; and he is the one, of all others, whose money and in- terest in horsoflesh have caused that rivalry among breeders that has produced the magnificent specimens with which this city is go richly endowed. But, see! the avenue and Park are crowded with the fair and brave, snugly seated in vehicles drawn by single horses, teams and tandems, Care is surely dead, judging from the smiling faces of the ladies and the jovial air of their cavaliors, Twonty minutes’ drive brings us to Har- Jem lane, and, looking around for ‘‘foemen of our atect” we see the veteran by Boston Girl dnd mate; William ft, with bis black and sorrel; D.
