BQUATTER SOVEREIGNTY, THE SCUM OF THE METROPOLIS, A Tour of the Shanties on the Rocks—Har- rowing Scenes of Debauchery and Vico—Humanity in Dog Kennels— How They Live and Die—A Field for Missionary Labor. And e’en the bare worn como Is donio How often have the sympathies of philanturopie meu and women been enlisted by the speaking pic- tures drawn by writers aud orators of the poverty, vice and squalor that characterize the lower wards of the city, and especialiy along the river fronts? How many eloquent appeois lave been made from the rostrum and the pulpit in behalf of the sin- marked Aabditués of Wator street and aid asked to lift them up to the pinnacie of manhood from which they have fallen, from association or rum? How yomny benevolent hearts have bied with anguish for their fallen fellow creatures, and by words of advice and generous contributions have sougat to lighten their pathway Lo eternity? fiiese questions wiil best be answered by an cx- anination of the reports of the nmiisstonary labors of Oliver Dyer, Van Meter and others, who have achieved much genuine good; but they seem to have confined their ministrations to one or two locall- ties. Genuise charity dogs not wait for opportunt- ties to be presented. It does not stand upon a street corner ali the day and ina ioud voice pro- claim, “Coie uato me ye hungry aul thirsty and I wil give you bread.” It unostentationsly pene- trates every noox and coraer whore the sunshine rarely enters in search: of its subjects, descends Into musty, damp cellars, Where mice with music charm And spatis with silver ¢ the wall; climbs rickety stairs to cheerieas rooms, where death’s nandmaids—staryation and alcohol—sit in regal siate and administers to their temporal and spiritual weal. Our well fed and weil patd divines, from behind velvet-covered desks, grow eloquent over the missionary cause tn foreign lands, draw grapiic pictures of the condstion of the benightéd heathen of India and Barabulagar, and the wealthy stock gamblers who, during the weex bcongit woe vo one Or more households, are visiliy Stricken with remorse, obey the injunctions ot Reverend pastors, who o'er the pulpit nod, , Aud point the way to wisdom and (o God, and contribute to the cause of spreading the Word of Life. When this is done; wuen the Beechers, Cheevers and Tyngs have depicted in well-rounded periods the necessities of the heathen m transit to the devil by the lightning expvess, and their hearers have stuffed the missionary boxes with greenbacks, the former feet that they have performed their duty and the latter conceive that they have secured a merit mark on the pook of the Recording Angel. Rarely does the pastor or his flock trouble them- selves about the heathen on the next street, and de- serving poor will knock im vain at their ailchen doors for a crust of bread or an old dress to protect them from the chilly blasts of winter, unless some warm-hearted Inigh girl in the basement divides her scanty fare with them. They mayplead that they have no means of dis- tinguishing between the worthy and the imposter; but they forget that it is petier to err on the side of charity than to turn one of God’s children away empty. “Charity vauateti not itself, 1s not pufed up,” 18 a declaration that more than one of our pas- tors and loud-moutied philantropists might profs by, with beneflt to themselves and thelr fellow creatures, I, hive, A, WHAT FEW PEOPLE KNOW. rly every reader of tue daily and weekly press is familiar with the pictures drawn of sin, destitution and crime that abouads in tho Fourth and Sixth wards of the city; but few, very few, naye ever imagined that there are other places im this great city of ours where the name of God is never breatued, except in blasphewmy; where crime marks the lintels of nearly every door, and bloodshed, riot and rum hoid nightly carnival, We refer more directly. to the squatter population of the metropoills. It is well known that in the upper portions of the city, espe- especially in the Twentieth, Twenty-second and ‘twenty-first wards, an immense population of the lowest Classes 15 gathered tn little huts of thelr own construction, setting high up on the rocks; but be- yond tne fact that whey are there few, except the owners of the ground, care to kuow more. For years high rents have driven the poor and dissipated, as a dernier ressort, to the rocks, where they have squatted, built little hovels out of such material as they could beg or steal, and there they lve and muluply. Gradually thew domain ts being encroached upon as the cily extends northward, and ti is probab.e that in five years the shanties will be superseded by elegant mansions for the accom- modation of the wealthy, To gtve a faint idea of the mode of life on the rocks ts the object of the present articie. “If you would see how the poor live,” said Captain Cathey, of the Twentieth precinct, to the writer, one evening When the conversation had turned upon the wide-spread Cestitution and increase of crime in the metrupolis, “you should make an inspection 61 tne ‘city on the rocks.’ Untill took command of the precinct and visited them I had no tea that ina Chrisuan land, and @ city whose inhabitants are noted for their benevolence, such a State of destitu- tion could exist, One visit for me suficed, and would toatl could shut my eyes to the actual condi. tion of things.

Sat Lake City, Dee. 20, 1809, Since the junction of the Union and Central Pacific Toads has veen fixed at Ogden, Gentiles, Jews and Sainta aro flocking to that place 1m targe numbers, ‘They have ali been blessed with visions in which they see looming up, somewhere in the tuygediate future, & city to be built at that point the vast pro- portions of which are expected to eclipse those of Chicago. ln fact, the expectations of a great many are extravagant imithat respect; and property hold ers in the little towa of Ogden are making great cal- culations, based upon such expectations, It can hardly be necessary to intorm those fully acquainted with the situation that they cannot possibly be realized; but for the benefit of the uninformed | will state that there ts, in the first place, nothing to make Ogden a large commercial city, and, im the second place, nothing to sustain a city of uvy importance, Upon the completion of the Utah Central Ratiroad to Salt Lake City Ogden will be the depot for Southern Utah, and freight from the Bast and West will be transnipped at that point, ‘The Idea that wie two companies will erect any very extensjve buildings and employ a very large number of men at the point of juncuon has been pretty thor- oughly exploded, Ogden, then, will have to depend for any future greatness to which she may attain upon the limited agricultural resources of the sur- rounding country, a) ways providing a ready market can be foynd for the agricultural products or upon manufactures and other internal resourecs. To those who survey the scene with an unprejudicea eye the giqwing visions of metropolitan great far of im the dim ness appear very vista of the future, Cormne yet remains the depot for Montana and Idaho freight, and really has a better earnest of future greatness than Ogden. Although many of her citizens have left for Ogden the utter unpossibiliiy of purchasing land at the latter place at any price and the enor mous rents which the Mormon property owners, toking advantage of the ephemeral excitement, are charging, coupled with the fact that the amount of business done by them and its pecuniary returns will be far below their expectations, may be alt conducive to a speedy return to their frst love, Corie. By the way, T presume that but few persons in the Fast are aware of the origin of Corinne and how the place reccived a name familiar to all readers of Madame de Stacl’s novel. Zhe town of Corinne is located at the railroad crossing of North Bear river, at the north end of the Great Sult Lake, anout eighty miles from Sait Lake Clty. It is the only Gentile town of any importance in Utah; and the lots were sold to the citizens by Gen- eral Williameon, the real estate agent of the Union Pacific Rauroad Coinpany, upon whose lands the town ‘was located. In tho expectation that this would be the point of junction selected by the two. companies the place became rapidly populated, and the population soon numbered several thousand, General Wililamson bas a daugiter, a pretty, sprightly young lady of some fourteen summers, named Corinne, ‘after the heroine in Madame de Staev’s novel of that name, and in honor of this young lady the citizens unanimously determined to Call tue fown Corimne. Thus the name, a very preity one, of Which tie ciuzens need never tee] ashamed, Having departed irom the original subject on a momentary trip to Corinne, wiich we lave per- formed at a rate of speed somewhat higher than that of the lightening express, let us return ouce more to Ugden. ‘The name is a very Susgestive one; for with the addition of aa Hit would grapni- cally describe the condition of the town ab certain seasons of the ye: when it literally Wallows in mire. ‘The business portion of the place 1s located on the low-flats forming the bottom Janus bordering upon the banks of the Weber river. Another portion ol the town, composed principally of dweilings, 13 Uuilt upon the high biuffs or beach land ruaning back to the base of the mountain range. The mata business street 13 laid out upon tho “ow lands low,” and in the spring of the year empty wagons have been known to sink axie deep in the mud upon iis strect, whence they were extricated only by tue process krown as “doubting team.” A lady at- tempied onee to cross irom tie Ogden House to @ store Upon the opposite side of. the street. ‘he adventnre was a hazardous one, bat stern necessity, or something else, impelied ner to make the aite:npt, aud she started. When scarcely hali-way across down she went waist deep in tle sticky, tonacfous, greasy-looking substance, which deiied every effort made by her to extricate herself, How mach fartier she might have gone tt 1s 1npos- sible to say, but her perilous situation was at leagin discovered from the peach, or rather sidewaik, & plapk bridge improvised over the sea of mua, and she was drawn by two meu fromAer siough of des- ond, thanking. her Jucky siars that sie had not been smovhered in the compound, Ogden abounds in sloughs, or, as they would be termed tu the basi- ern States, frog ponds, and & large portion of the land will have to be filled in before 1 can he made available for building purposes, This staie Of aifairs applies, however, only to the low lands, for upon the bench land overiooking the val- ley there are acres upon acres of tne ary land, with space sumiclent to bud @ good sized city, or at least one as large as will ever be needed in this locatity. Want of time aud space compels me to leave Ugden for the present, with tins brief allusion Lo 118 sitaacion and prospects, bub 1 may recur tw ib again in anotuer letier, ‘rhe Utah Central Railroad having been completed from Ogden to Farmington, a distance of tweuty-wo miles, 18 now open to passenger and frenglt trafic. ‘Trains are advertised to Connect at Farmingiop with stuges from Salt Lake City ata quarter past eight A. M. and four BP, M., arriving at Ogden in time to connect with the express train going east at forty minutes past tea A.M. ana the expre tram going west ot forty mmutes past six P. Rerurn trains leave Ogden at balf-past eleven A. M. and six P. M., making close connections with the stages at Farmington for Salt Lake City. Fare trom Farmington to Ogden one dotiar, There is but one interinediate station, which is located at Kaysvirle, seven miles north of Farm- tngton. Joseph A. Young, Brighaui's eldest son, is superintendent of the road. At precent the accom- modations are rather limited, but additional rolung stock 18 soon expected from the Bust to eqnip the road in first class style. The track will soon be laid over the remaiming eighteen mies ibtervening be- tween Farmington anti Salt Lake City, aud then persons journeying across the Continent who wisi to view the Mecca of Mormonisin, wish tes temple not yet above ground, its theatre in fui operation, ils harems, and perhaps to interview the Mormon leaver and pseudo prophet, can do so withont having to undergo the fearful joiting over thirty miles of rough road, driven by Jehys whose greatest ambition seems to be the thorough shaking UD Of his passengers, WhO probably ndergo seasa- ons mever belore experienced by teva tn vile Course ol tii natural lives, Regaraless of the waicr duches which mtersect the roads every few rods Jeti puts bis Dorses down to a dead run, while at every jolt the despairing passeager’s head comes in forebie contact wit tie roof the coach, causing sparks of electric fre to dash before his eyes, imine diately after Which he setties back in his seat with & momenta sufficient aluiost to send fim through the bottom of the coach and making hts eyes suap again, It isa pretty hard jouruey upon the mate passengers, How the ladies stand it is more than your correspondent can aulerstaad or explain.
