Extract of a letter to the Editor of the

The crops here (as I learn they do all
over the West) present a disheartening
appearance, and little or no corn can be
made. JVleal and bacon are high; and
wheat is beginning to he used in feeding
cattle. The people complain sorely of
their bad luck. But if Chatham's pros
pects are bad for the present crojj of corn,

her rivers shall be made navigable and
her rich mines of coal and iron shall bring
in the wealth, and bustle, and business,
which such fine and inexhaustible depos

are always sure to do. I learn that the

paper, comes to us, and on the margin
written, "Madame, please exchange."
With great pleasure, Sir. We never saw
the Investigator but tmee before, and
that was ten years ago. We read it care
fully, and one sentence in it we never
shall forget. The writer was speaking of
the tendency of the doctrine of grace to
licentiousness talking of the license a
Christian might feel to sin, because of
his hope of a pardon through a Saviour,
and boasting of the superior morality of
his creed. He introduced the negative
siue ot the argument in these words.
"But the poor infidel has no God, no
Heave i. no Jesus Christ, no Hell."
No words ever struck us with such he
numbing force. What a poor, homeless
orphan. What a helpless, desolate child!
A man without a God to love or a heav
en to hope for a sinner without a Sa
viour. No elaborate description of woe
unutterable ever -conveyed to our mind
the picture of despair which did these
few words. We never before said, "Our

provision of this code requires of his fol
lowers the annual contnhution ol one
tenth of their incomes, which is cheerful
ly acceded to. A partial necessity, at
least, for such a stipulation arises from the
enlarged scale on which the domestic af
fairs of the king are conducted his
household comprising not less than seven
wives, ami a progeny proportionately nu
merous. Beaver island is bairnn, and of small
extent, but picturesquely situated at the
northern extremity ot Lake Michigan.
The surrounding islands and bay are said
to possess many.jiatural attractions It is
but little frequented by vessels of any
class, and Us inhabitants are chiefly depen
dent on agricultural pursuits for susten
ance. In dress these Mormons are not
less peculiar than n their religious belief
that of the women consisting of a sort
of combination of the "Bloomer," with
!he4pifurcaled garment." An individu
al who IS on a Visit to that community
writes to the Cleveland Democrat as fol
lows: "Strang, so far as we could discover
from circumstantial evidence, (for his
followers worship him,) and from his ap
pearance, is a bold, bad man. Without
enthusiasm, without faith, he assumed the
part which he is now playing to retrieve
his desperate fortune. Without a shadow
of claim, save (t j his followers the high
est) a revelation to him that they may
take possession of all islands, they have
seized upon their present abode. He is
under indictment for various crimes a-
mong them that of intercepting the mail
to the northern lakes and, before long,
it is not to be doubted the law will take
him in hand. What is to become of a
people so devoted and so desperate is a
singular problem, which time alone can
solve."

day to an undertaker and ordered his cof
fin, requesting that it be made immediate

same evening, and that he should positive

good health, and seemed perfectly sane in
mind. The undertaker, as a matter of
course; su pposed the man either jesting or
deranged, and consequently paid no attend

jJug. 21. The Cuban Liberators, mostly
western men, exasperated by trie tone of
the Spanish paper La Patria, this after-
noon attacked the Office, broke the win
dows and doors, threw the press, cases of
type, and furniture into the street, and
destroyed everything belonging to tho
office. There was no interference by the
police.
After demolishing the office, the rioters
proceeded to thesegar store, corner of St.
Charles and Gravier streets, broke the
doors and windows, and destroyed all the
stock and furniture, which were very
valuable.
They then proceeded to the office of
the Spanish Consul, and destroyed desks,
furniture and property of all kinds. The
sign was broken dow?n and carried in tri

New Orleans, ftag. 22.
Two thousand men this morning sur
rounded the City Prison, where the Span
ish Consul has taken refuge, and threaten
ed to demolish it. unless the Consul is de
livered up to them. About fifty police are
on the ground. The Segar shops kept by
the Spanish were nearly all destroyed
during last night. Minute guns have
been fired since sun-rise in honor of the
murdered liberators. The bodies of Vic
tor Kerr and Col. Crittenden attract many
visitors, and produce much feeling.
Colt's Repeaters. So great is the de
mand for this pistol in the United States
that 300 men and over one hundred thous
and dollars' worth of machinery cannot
supply the demand. Forty thousand of
these arms will be turned out of the facto
ry in this city during the present year of
1S51, and still they will fall short of the
demand.
Col. Celt sent a few dozen of these Re
peaters to the World's Fair. The Eng
lish government took all of the small lot
sent to London to fit out a cavalry com
pany against the East India natives, and
called for more. Col. Colt has sent them
five hundred, all he could spare at present.
The demand for this arm is so great
that Col." Colt will probably have one
j thousand men at work in a very short
time. Hartjord Times.'
