Mormon preachers have already comments ced operations at various cities, and in St. Louis there are stated to be two thousand

Mormons. Brigham Young's calculation is, that such colonies scattered over the country must make his cause respected, by politicians at least, if by none else.

There can be no doubt that the operations of this Salt Lake directory are conducted with great shrewdness so far as concerns the attainment of political importance and success. They arc greatly pleased with the squatter sovereignty principle of the Nebraska bill, and calculate to come into the Union under it. This is thc idea held forth by the Deseret News, which, of course, speaks the sentiments of Young and his associates. Thc lust train which arrived at our western frontier from Salt Lake brought the intelligence that a fresh batch of missionaries had been appointed to go forth to the United Slates and Europe, and •tir up tbe church, that emigrants might

LABOR.—This well merited tribute to labor is from the New York Mirror: We have heard among the idlers who float like drift-wood on the surface of society, contemptuous flings at those whose heritage is toil. The aneer at the hard and •wartby hand of labor, but tbey forget that, all that is useful, luxurious or beautiful on this earth, toil has been the creator thAt from the marble palace to the "white kids" of the tailor's most exquisite walking •ign, all has been wrought by human hands.

Labor, why man of idleness, labor gave you being, rocked your cradle, and has nursed your pampered life. Without it, the woven silk and wool on your back would be in the. silk-worm's nest, and in the fleeces of thc shepherd's fold. For the meanest thing that ministers to human want, save the air of heaven, man is indebted to toil. It is only the drones who toil not, who infest the hives of activity like masses of corruption and decay. The lords of the earth

WHERE TIIE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE WAS WRITTEN.—ThePhiladelphia Bulletin of the 16th instant says:

The destruction, by the recent conflagration, of the quaint two-storied tavern, on Fiftli street below Minor, known as the Jefferson Wigwam, has resuscitated the popular error that the Declaration of Independence was written on that spot. The location of the place where that memorable instrument was penned, has also been fixed at the old Indian Queen Hotel, in Fourth street above Chesnut, where Jefferson sometimes lodged. Tbe fact is, the instrument was written in'the building still standing at the S. W. corner of Seventh and Market streets.

The following letter from Mr. Jefferson to Doctor Mease, of this City, sets the matter finally at rest:

OUT-DOOR EXERCISE.—It is owing, mainly, to their delight in out-door exercise that the elevated classes in England reach a patrarchal age notwithstanding their habits of high living, of late hours, of wine drinking and many other health-destroying Agencies the death of their generals, their lords, their earls, and their dukes are chronicled almost every week, at 70, 80, 00 years it is bccausc they will be on horseback, the most elegant, rational and accomplished of all forms of exercise, both for sons and daughters. But the whole credit of longevity to these classes, must not be given to their love of field fports it must be divided with the other not less characteristic traits of an English nobleman—he will take thc world easy! and could we, as a people, persuade ourselves to do the same thing habitually, it would add ten years to the average of human life, and save many a broken heart, and broken fortune and broken constitution.—Hall's Journal of Health.

DARINO ROBBERV BV MEANS OF CHLOROFORM.—A few evenings ago, as Col. J. W. M. Berrieu, of Rome, Ga., was riding in the cars to Augusta, in company with his family, a stranger took a seat beside him, and after some conversation succeeded in administering to him chloroform until he became insensible. He then cut the buttons off his overcoat and extracted from his side pocket a package of bills amounting to 85,170. Not content with this, he took from the pantloons pocket the Colonel's wallet, containing about $1,000, and made good his escape. At the last account Col.

EASY TIMES.—The New York Railroad Advocate thinss that our financial troubles will soon have an end. It says:

The heaviest foreign payments of the country are now about made, §35,000,000 of gold having been sent abroad since January first. The banks have already contracted their loans some 812,000,000 within a few weeks in this city. The cotton season is just opening in, promising a good crop and heavy returns. Roads haviDg cost sixty millions of dollars, will have been brought into full use, between January 1st, 1854, and Jan. 15th, 1855. Over trading has been pretty effectually held up. The breadstuffs and provision products of thc last season are steadily coming in and the effect of cutting off the Russian supply of grain from other European nations, will make the latter dependent on the United States.

JC3TGreeley continues on the Know Nothings as follows—abolitionists ponder: "We believe the Knnw-Nothing array is desturbed to prove the diadliest foo of Anti-Slavery, Temperance and every other reform movement and we see that the slave-drivers are begining to vie with the Union savers in hailing the 'Know Nothing' lodges admirably suited to their uses.— And in any movement like this, politicians by trade, like the slaveholders, will always outmanage the men who live by their own labor and can bestow but a casual attention upon politics.

HALIFAX, Dec. 28—1\ fcf.

The steamer America, with ten days later advices from England, has just arrived. The cotton market at Liverpool was dull, and prices generally lower. The sales during the week cpmprise 42,000 bales, of which 1,500 were taken by speculators, and 2,000 do for export. The quotations, acccording to Brown «fe Shipley, were: Fair Orleans, 5^c Middling do, £^c Middling Upland, c. The market opened with a better feeling at a slight declinc, but clos-. ed dull.

Matters remain quiet at Sevastopol without any change of importance in the aspect of affairs there.

Omar Pasha had left for rho Crimea with 40,000 troops. Some important negotiations were going on between Austria and the allied powers.

The steamer Atlantic arrived out on tha morning of the 6th. The steamers Sarah Sands and Washing-, ton sailed according to appointment. Tho latter took out to New York S 100,000 ia specie.

Negotiations of a most important and complicated character, which will most probably involve all the European States in a general war, have been concluded.

A treaty of alliance has been signed between Austria, France and England, binding, it is supposed, Austria to declare war against Russia within one month Franco on her part guaranteeing Austria against invasion from without, ant! insurrection from within. Austria has called upon the Germanic States to support her with thc federal troops, but Russian influence was at work in opposition to such a measure throughout the Germanic confederation.

Mr. Soule had arrived at Madrid. The Danish Ministry had resigned. Twenty-two of Oliver's ships sold tor £103,050, all of them to the bill holders.

The latest dates from Sevastopol say the Russians were making frequent sorties, but were in all cases repulsed, without, however any serious fighting.

The latest dates from the Crimea are to the 27th Nov., up to which time the eeigo continued.

The Duke of Cambridge was expected at Constantinople. Admiral Hamlin had resigned the command of the French squadron in the Black. Sea, and had returned to France.
