Wooincj Mormok Wives.—The Mormon editor of the Dcscret Sews thus tells the good people of Christendom how strangers can become ingratiated: "If a cfcntlemnn wishes to'associate with our femules, let him repent and be: baptized for the remission of sins. But this alone •will not insure his success, for many have submitted themselves to the ordinance of baptism and have ddcfcl amnntion to themselves by hypocritically bowing to certain rites and ceremonies with motives other than to glorify God and to save themselves from this untoward generation. Let these forth and preach the gospel to the nations, like the M-irmon elders, without "purse or script." *Let them be mobbed, tarred and feathered, and whipped a few times for Christ's sake, and not for their own follies nnd return, after a few years' labor, clear in conscience, pure in heart, and unspotcd from the world. If they can do these things, and endure, they may begin to associate with our females, and seek among them a companion and partner for the life that now is and for that which is to come."

We think, says the Louisvilie Journal, that the conditions above mentioned will not meet the views of many of our young, middle-aged or old men. The Mormon editor says, that, if a man will go forth without a cent in his pocket and preach the Mormon gospel to this untoward generation and get himself mobbed, whipped, and tarred and feathered a few times, he mav

begin to associate with tho Mormon females, i#M

nnd "seek among them a companion and

to the spec-

ulations which inculpated relatives in crime, and the surmises that she had, for reasons best known to herself, left her home to become the victim and votary of degredation and crime.

It is now so evident that Emma Moore was the victim of a heartless seducer, that no man longer doubts. In consequence of her fall, and apprehension of her com:ng shame, she either destroyed her own life, or it was taken by some one else who had an equal interest in concealing her disgrace. There will be different opinions on this subject. Let us hope that Providence, if there is a murderer in the case, will expose his guilt, that he may receive the punishment due to the perpetrator of such a dreadful crime.

Moore proposed suicide, with the view of, the witness. There is a skeleton at thi remaining forever undiscovered, and there- fenst, some few may not behold it. But to by hiding her disgrace, that she would h:ive I me the^shroud, and the scaled lips, and the

PAUL JONES:

erS-

In 1767, while returning to Scotland in the John, as a passenger, the master and mate died of yellow fever, and Jones assumed the direction of the vessel, which he carried safely into port. He received the command of the vessel he had thus rescued us his reward. Thus we find Jones, at the age of twenty, or at least twenty-one, in full command of a merchant vessel, an instance of promotion, which, with the obscure and unpatronized, never occurs without the existence of great merit. In the employ of the owners of this vessel, Jones sailed two years, when the firm dissolved. From this date, up to his departure for America, he followed the sea in various capacities, going twice to the coast of Africa, on slaving expeditions.

In 1773 his brother William died in Virginia, leaving him heir to his estate. In order to attend to his property, he came to America, and it was shortly after his arrival that he assumed the name of Jones.— The reasons for the adoption of this name have never been definitely given.

,,r~

I saw four years ago, the green flag

flying in front of an Irish homestead, bosomed in the depths of the brown Tasmanian wood and I hear, as I hieard it there four years ago, the fond prayer bubbling up from the hearts of an old Irish couple, that Ireland might be blessed, that her wounds might be healed, and that, for the ignominies and agonies she has endured, her crown of thorns might blossom into flowers.— [Loud and renewed applause.]

date. His father was a gardener, nnd continued, during his life, in the employ of Mr. Craik, of Arbigland.

The early education of Paul Jones was limited, but thorough as far as it went.— At the early age of twelve he was regularly apprenticed to follow the sea. His master was a Mr. Younger, a merchant in the American Trade. His first voyage was to America. On arriving at his destination, he found his brother William, who had been a resident here for some years. With this brother he remained during the time he was in port. Jones manifested a great aptness for the profession, and made at this period several very successful voyages.

He was born July 6, 1747, at Arbigland, in the Parish of Ivirkbean, Scotland. His father's name was John Paul. The name f- reward of ten thousand guineas wag of of Jones was assumed in addition at a later

Jones's connection with the American Navy commenced in December, 17/5. He was ordered to the Alfred, twenty-four guns, as first Lieutenant. On board this vessel, at Philadelphia, on the 10th of December, 1776, he hoisted for the first time, the adopted flag of the United Colonies. This flag bore the representation of a pine tree and a rattlesnake, with this motto—"Don't Tread on Me."

While attached to the Alfred, he came first under fire in an engagement with the Glasgow, twenfy-four guns, off Newport.— The Alfred was badly cut up in this affair, which resulted in the escape of the Glasgow into Newport. In a variety of commands which Jones undertook about this

seizing

once on the best modes of extricating himself from impending danger. It was under the command of John Paul Jones that the American vessel Bon Homme Pochard, fought the English battle-ship Serapis, on Flamborough Head. This action was particularly noted for the fury with which it was conductcd on both sides. Before noticing any of the incidents of this engagement, it will be well to mention the strength of the two vessels engaged.

The Bon Homme Richard was formerly an Indinman belonging to the French, and was calh-d the Due de Dura. She was 14 years old, and although bought for a fast dull

ment to give way. The loss on both sides was fearfully great. Full one hundred and fifty of the Richard's men were killed, and the Serapis lost one hundred and seventeen. The Serapis finally struck her colors, and the bloody carnage ceased,-'and upon the heaving waves floated the two shattered halls, freighted with the maimed, the dying and tho (lead. Great efforts were made to keep the Bon Homme Richard afloat, but after toiling a whole day and night, it became evident that she had "fought her last battle." Her men, and such articles as it was desirabls or possible to save, were transferred-.to the Serapi*, and at ten o'clock the old Due de Duras settled majestically into the bosom of the sea.

Paul Jones arrived at the Tcxel, Holland, with his prize. Here he was blockaded by a British fleet from the Downs. This fleet consisted of twenty-one line-of-battle ships, which were disposed in such a manner as to threaten complete destruction to Jones should he attempt to leave his anchorage.

fered for the head of the famous John Paul Jones. This much sought-after individual determined to run the gauntlet and escape if possible. Having fully instructed his men, he availed of a day when the wind was blowing a gale off shore, and weighing anchor, came down under easy sail toward the center of the British fleet.

He directed his course so as to come under the lee of the battle-ship from whenco theadmiral's flag was flying.

His motions were watched by the whole fleet, who supposed he had come out to surrender. At this moment Jones gave tho word, his ship, the Alliance, became a cloud of canvass, and he flew past the .astonished admiral, delivering a full broadside as ho passed! Onward he flew, delivering and receiving broadside after broadside, and escaped without the loss of a mast or a spar. Jones sailed at once for Brest, in France* and while in the channel captured two valuable prizes bound for London, with which he arrived safely in port.

On the 18th of October, 1707, Congress voted him a gold medal in honor of his ser* vices. Jones quitted America in Novem-•• ber, 1707, and never again visited its shores. He was afterwards engaged in the Russian service, being sent to the Black Sea by the Empress Catharine, as rear-admiral, imme* diatcly after his arrival in St. Petersburg. April 20, 1788, he joined Prince Potemkin, who had the command of the Russian forces in the'BIack Sea. His connection with the Russian service is a complex history of disappointment and intrigue.

While in this service he was in many severe engagements, and showed great personal courage, though the opportunity never seemed to present itself for the exhibition of any remarkable exploit, or a quality worthy of his previous career.

He resided for some time preceding hi9 death iu Paris, where he died on the 18th of Jul)', 1792, at the age of forty-five.

A distinguished writer, himself a sailor, in speaking of Paul Jones, sums up his qualities in the following manner: "In battle, Paul Jones was brave in enterprise, hardy and original in victory, mild and generous in motives, much disposed to disinterestedness, though ambitious of renown, and covetous of distinction. Ia his pecuniary relations he %vas liberal in his affections, natural and sincere and in his temper, just and forbearing."

A PREDICTION.

John Thompson, of Wall street, New York, in the last issue of his Bank Sot$ Reporter, informs his readers that, since the subsidence of the financial panic, ho has been closely investigating the Prophesies and the Commentaries thereon, in order to see the drift and end of the war now being carried on in Europe, and from tho knowledge thus gained he ventures to predict as follows:

Turkey will be devoured—all Europo will be revolutionized and republicanized— Victoria and Albert, Xapoleon and Eugenia, with any number of lesser crowned heads and nobility, including the Pope, will, in I860, be domiciled in this country —provided always, that their heads remain on their shoulders—The most terrible war that has ever crimsoned the pages of history, has but began.

An* Archbishop amosg Phesbttemaks. —A correspondent of the Newark Advertiser writes from Rome on Feb. 23 as follows 3, .. a "Among the eminent Americans still here is Archbishops Hughes, of New York, who came to attend the recent Immaculate Conception Convocation. 1 had the pleas--ure of meeting him in fine spirits at a recent soiree at the lodgings of a devout Presbyterian family from Georgia, in company with his friend Bishop Bedini, who, by the way, fcoongoes to Lisbon an Nuncio. Several new Cartlinals are to be announced shortly, as I am well assured. There are* ome twenty or thirty American familieshere, living in the most friendly social intercourse. Most of them attend the Sabbath. The ministration of the chaplain (E. D. G. Prime, of N. Y.,) have also attracted a number of English families, thougk there is a British Church here."
