I Old Governor Saltonstall, of Connectictit, who" flourished some sixty years since,! ;was a man of some humor, as well as perseverance, in effecting the ends he desired. Among the Dth- nec-j dotes told of him by the New London people, tLej plfice where he resided, is the following: j jOf the various sects which have flourished in their day and then ceased to exist, was one; kuown as the Rogerites, so called 7 from their founder a John or Tom, or some other llogers,! who settled not far from the goodly town afore said. The distinguished tenet of the sect was their depial of the propriety and tcrijrturality of the fbrtn of marriage. 'It is not! good for man toibe alone." This they believed, and also that one wife only should "cleave to her .husband,"! but then this couple should come together and nvre as man ana wiie, atspensuig:witn air toe forms of the marriage covenant. The old Gov ernor used frequently-to call upon Rogers, and talk the matter, over with him, and endeavor tot cupviuce mm 01 ine miproprtety or living wito! S;irah as he did.- Rut neither John nor Sarah would give up the argument. It was a matter! of 'conscience with them they were very happy together as they were of what use then could a: mere lorni be f ouppase they would thereby; escape 6Candal were they not bound ''to take; up: the cross," and live according to the rules of the ' religion they professed. The Governor's' logic was powerless. " H ' .- ' He was in the neighborhood of John one day j and meeting with htm, accepted art invitation to 1 dine with him. ; The conversation a3 usually turned upon the old- subject. I I fNow,j John," says the Governof, after a long discussion of the poiut, ''why will jou not marry Sarah? Have you not taken her to be your; lawful wife?" " j j'Yes, cortaiuly," replied John, j' but my con science will not permit nie Lo marry her in the! form of the world's people." j f'Veryjwell.

The Condition of- Mormons Women. iVom Lippincott's Magazine for July. . .- Althpugb the men are educated thoroughly, especially upon points likely tolaffect the spread of their belief, the women are left in. utter and complete ignorance. U In all the many houses, eveu 01 the highest in the ! land, to j which we saw scarcely a book afterward had access, we sa?e those on iMornionism, and not a single paper oil magazine. We spoke of the topics of the day both at home and abroad, and met with entire blankness; none of them had any Idea of what we were! talking about. Then, before ia girl I has reached; full womanhood, while her ideas areistil unfornie'd and childish, shei is married probably to a man old . enough to be her father. Take any girl of fourteen or fifteen which is the common niarriarcable ajre in Mormon is ra- even an 5uucitcdjilrK- and. how ; able is 'she to form i.J, : opiniond and judgment? Then leave out the eaucatiqn, una ner aoinucs wm surety be at tue miniuium.' ; So"by these three! levers! the Mor tuon mep, wise in their gcueratiou, act upon; the hearts o the women ; among tpeni :'-J Jbirst, by appealing to the religious element soistrong in every woman; uext by keeping! herjiujgnorunce of everything jthat might show her the fallacy or tee claims to superiority otj tlie meo; and lastly, by throwing upon childish shoulders bur dens of iare, and weights of responsibility under which uiaiure woman noou muse loiten iainc. We are Ireiuiuded of Hi in who pronounced woe of old upon those who '-bind heavy burdens and grievous-to be borue,"! aud lay them upon other's shoulders. j ..-j ' i 1 '1;;:;- j The pace occupied by a-Mormon wife in her husbands household is simply thatjof a servant, with fewer, privileges than lias Jane the cook, or Lucy the waiter, in outs domestic eednotny. She has no "afternbon out" no t wages jto do as she will withj no "fllowers," and no i chance of a change, i Rut she haa hard work, unrealizable in our comfortable houses: the f privi!ereiof waiting upeu he nmsVerof the house when .ihe chooses tb call upon her services: and the belief that the more patieutly she benrs the cross of the present, the more beautiful will be the crown! of the future shelhopes to wear Racing on the!

Captains ind crews, and even passengers, seem to lose thpir usual discretion, and twj. be carried away ith' a mad desire to test the speed of their boats. Tjhe result may be expected to be a boiler explosion or a confl.igralion,tinvolving a terrible hjss of life. Some years agd the practice of steambpat racing became so prevalent, and so many fearful disasters occurred in consequence that it was finally prohibited by law?, under se vere penalties, and for years it has been in dis favor. -We hope that the present! occurrence will remind the. civil authorities of the necessity for au earnest enforcement of the lawj.

Uelper is a Conservative candidate for Congress iu .North Carolina." I am no candidate nor seeker for 4ny ofSce whatever. The ouly bfficel ever held 4-that of American Consul at Buenos Ayres, the capital of the Argentine Republic I soon found tb be, in a very- embarrassing degree, not worth tbe holding, aud resigned it time and again,,year after year, without having; been so fortunate as to be relieved from its burdens, and Ihen quit it abraptly- and returned to the United States. Id Other words,! I found it to be an ofHoe with a salary that paid but little more than one-half of thy actual, necessary, unavoidable expenses j and, in my case at least, it proved to be an ofBce far more '.'difficult-- tojgetjrid of ; imx to get. For aught I know;, I should have ben in charge of our Kjuenos Ayrean Consulate reven to this day had I been sufficiently' able and ambitious to J10M it at so great a Sacrifice of time and money as Kas required of the incumbent, specially during tbe period that I was there, when1 war here and war there, and other, circumstances rendered it peculiarly oppressive in more ways than one. j Such, iu -brief, was the beginning and. the end oft my office-holding, land! I assure you,' that I have not had a particle of desire; toj resume occu pation; in any branch pf the profession since.

Hut recent investigations J made by the" French 'gov ernment have given some, clue to it.,,, The offi cers 'in the cavalry service entrusted with the exanunaiion ti me suoject, nave come 10 me conclusion that the'bulk of ; food really has as much to do j with giving a horse wind, as the mere nutritious pin t" of it. . It makes 110 differ- eiice about the chemical ianalysis bf the elemeuts of the food ndeed, it would (seem that it a good portion of it contains articles of no nutri tious vatue, so mucn tne better. Now corn contaitisl a very mucn larger per centage or nutritious eleijicnts, cheuiically speak- . v : ing, than oats : but the thick hulls of the oats supply the bulk, which ! they believe to be so necessary to -the healthy action of e elements i ! .

J Thra theory is fur'bejj confirmed by the observation of jour wn cow fjeeders, who find that corn 'meal, when ground! up, cob and all; is just as good fori cows as wfien the bulk is made1 tip of pure corn alone.' Ihefe is much nnittr for reflection here. kj iv ! i .

A i.V.n Among other things, it counselled, under all cir cumstances, obedience to the laws of the land and opposition to violence of every kind and description: and that a redress of grievenees was lo be properly sought by the people in a change of publio servants, by and though the peaceful means of the ballot box only. ' That address has been sanctioned end adopted by thousands of our people in primary assemblages, and may be fairly taken as the eipoaent of the views of the great mass of those who oppose the political par tr now in power in the State. ' That the opponents of the party now la power, have acted up to these professions cannot be truth fully gainsayed. Acts of lawless violence, it is true, have pccasionally been committed, but thene have been confined to neither of the political parties of the State. They have been owing in a rreat degree to the state of the times and society in which we live and doubtless. In no small degree to the misgovern ment under which our people have suffered and yet suffer. " - , - - -..-! With an inefficient State government, known to be wasteful, extravagant and profuse of the publio money, beyond the measure of anything hitherto known in the State; enforcing systems end amounts of taxation most oppressive and burthensome, with no returning benefits to the people, to their credit, be it said, that they have generally remained quiet and obedient to the laws and constituted authorities, and have never been more so than in the last few months nat. . j Notwithstanding this, to the great eurprise of many, the Governor of tho State, acting as we be lieve, under evil counsels and for sinister purpotes, has thought proper lately, to order the eu rolling. equipping and calling into active military Slate ser vice or a large body of armed soldiery. . . Quiet and orderly citizens of whatever shade of political opinion, cannot but have witnessed thi extraordinary , movement with serious concern. What docs it mean? Are these troops to aid tho civil authority merely ? Hitherto there has been no resistance to that authority in apy part of the Slate, and we cannot and do not believe that armed men and especially in such numbers, are needed for any such purpose. Is martial law to be virtually declared, the writ of habeas corpm suspended and the persons and proper ty of every citixen placed at tbe mercy of armed men, clothed with power and having no inclination to re spect the rights of others?. From what appears ia the Governor's organ, the Standard, these things are not' only to be inferred, but seem to be justified. . But, by what authority of law, we beg to ask,, does our Governor do these things? We are not aware of any. And if he violates the law how can he expect others to observe it? In every point of view, this grand military move ment is mischievous It will entail an enormous ex pense upon our already overtaxed people, and in stead of preserving, will seriously endanger the publio peace. In a word, it is sheer usurpation of power, which, in better days, nGovernor of the State would have dared to assume. The time, too. is most inopportune An important election is near . 1 I 1 T . . . il . . A .. 1 . I. - . ........ I men are to be used in some way to overawe the peo- , pie and control tho ntuing elections. We do not undertake to assert that such is Hie case, though it , is believed by mnny of the best and mot orderly citizens of the Slate to be true, and many circum stances are coming to light day after day, indicating some such design. But, if in fact, no such wicked design exist on the part of those high In authority, what guaranty will tho pcoplo have, that their right will be respected by their subordinates in command, aud by the rank and file of such a force, compoed as- it will be; in a great degree, of the very worst I material in the State ? , We submit these matters to the calm consideration, of the people of the Slate. We believe this military movement is fraught with danger to the peace and good order of the community, and that it endangers ihe rights and liberties of our people. We call, therefore, upon all reflecting men of every party, creed and color, to frown it down before further mis chief conies of it. We counsel bo violence.bat let the mischief makers see and ' made to know that the rights and liberties ofa people are of more value than the mere ruccess, tn an election, of a political party or the prolonging of its waning power. To our own political friends, especially, in these trying times, we would again counsel peace, quiet, forbearance, aud obedience to the law of the land. Let no provocation, if it can possibly be avoided,, drive you into any violent measures to redress your wrongs. The peaceful means of the ballot boa are yours, and, if exercised as tbey should be, they will afford ample redress for the grievances under which -y ou now labor. These mentis you have a rigjjt to exercise, quietly, but freely aud Independently, and we trust that you will not fail to do so, uuawvd by the frowns of power, and unmoved by its threats. If this is done w think you may confidently lei, upon success at the coming election, and thereby secure a restoration, at no distant day, of peace, good order and a greater state of prosperity to the people of the State.
