EditorUil Correspondence. TJiKTAH. Utah Territory, ScK 20. Tdo romli.iT institution 01 JUOrmonism is Pelveaniy. The Christian or Gntila ( bv one or the other term are aU outsiders known and styled by the Church here) can 2nd something to commend in most other characteristics of Mormonism. Their industry, temperance and good order are frankly acknowledged. Their co-operative mercantile system has its apology in the enmity of resident Gentilea and their observance of the law of self-protection and seclusion. .Their self-sacrificing missionary spirit and enthusiasm for snd devotion to their religion, command our admiration. But in Polygamy there i3 nothing lovely or attractive to the better instincts of humanity. At a distance from thi3 Mormon community, one can well conceive how contrary it must be to domestic order and social peace how degrading to woman how repulsive to the holy instinct of affection, nat ural dependence and jealous attach ment of the wife. But it is not until we are brought in more direct contact with the system, do we com prehend the lull extent of its offensive and bli2LtiD2 influence. The visitor's natural cariosity leads him, in his first ramble through Salt .Lake City, directly to the residences of Brigham Young, the President and Prophet, who is the leader in Polyg amy, as well as the spiritual and hnan cial chief of the society. We find an immense square, surrounded by high, close stone fence, resembling an outside city - wall, witnin wnicu are Brigham'a various buildings. Two long rows of tenement houses, called the JLion and the Bee houses from the imace3 on their respeWivo front3, are the houses of his numerous wives or concubinea. Adjoining them a more stately edifice, is his own home or palace. Still farther on is quite an extensive edihec, which 13 the schoo for his many children. Ihe look at the wholo establishment filla the vis itor with amazement and disgust. The feeling is universal a Turkish : ha rom, where woman is only regarded aa a merial, is better than this. And yet the wholo system claims to have its support upon the express revela tion of the great Creator of men and its strongest argument m the protec tion ot cnastity, tne elevation ana happiness, temporal and eternal, of woman. It is generally understood that these bouses do not include the whole o Bri&'jam's household. In differed parts of the city are pointed out the residences ot other oi his wives. 1 was informed that the first of his wives now old, enfeebled and childish, lives separate irom the rest in a cottage to herself; and that m another part o the city resides his last wife, a bloom mg young woman 01 eignteen or twenty, who is now the principal recipient of the attentions of this aged " Prophet of his people," who has passed his sixty-eighth birthday! At the Church Theatre nightly may be seen his wives and daughters in the seats and balconies" permanently reserved for them, while old Brigham' occupies his armed chair in the parquette or his private box, and, as he fancies, showers bis bouquets of flowers and smiics upon the fair actresses oa the stage. The women are taught that it is their highest earthly blessing to occupy the honored position of a wife to the Prophet, and that it will entitle them to an exalted place in the heavenly kingdom. It cannot b3 definitely ascertained how many wives Brigham Young possesses. I was unable to find any two Mormons who agreed upon the number, and between them and the Gentile residents there was quite a variance in the enumeration; and it is doubtful if Brigham knows the number himself. One of tho best informed of the Mormons told me that he thought he had about .twentythree or twenty-four, and from sixty to seventy children. Some of the resident Gentiles declared to me that he had not less than sixty wives, ' spiritual " and all, and even more children than the number named. As illustrative of the power which Brkham possesses over the people, and their utter slavery even to his bestial desires, a Government official of my acquaintance, whom I know to be of unimpeachable veracity, gave mo an instance of the President's course of procedure. He eaid that some three years ao the gentleman in whose family he was now boarding, an intelligent and educated man but a devoted and submissive Mormon, received notice from Brigham that he (Brigham) required his residence for one of his newly chosen wives to live in. The gentleman, meekly and like an obedient menial, packed up his household goods, and vacated his own house with his family, including an invalid son, and gave it up to this concubine of the "Prophet," 7ho inhabited it for more than two years. Brigham, not long since, graciously returned it to him, without a cent's payment of rent; and the poor, . abject slave returned to his old homestead to find the fences broken down, the shrubbery and garden grown wild and ruined, the walls torn and defaced ; and he uncomplainingly sets to work to repair the wreck, quietly consoling himself with having "laid up for himself treasure ia heaven," by Eerving the Lord's annointcd. This same gentleman has recently been ordered off to Europe "on a missionary tour," without any knowledge or consultation on his part, being informed that " it is the Lord's will;" h'u son, just married, ba3 been sent by Brigham away up into the north part of the territory, among tho Wahsatch mountains, to help "form a settlement;" and the wife and daughter are left alone at home, with nothing for their support but their own labor. And .iuch are some of tho internal workings of Mormonism. Following Brigham Youcg'a example, the Counselors, Apostles, Bishops, Church Magnates, and thosa who aspire to position, wealth, or power, are "in Polygamy," and thoso having the larger number of wives are esteemed to bo rendering the Lord tho greater service. One of the Bishops introduced us to one of his wive3, and pointed out the photographs of his nine wives, neatly

grouped on the parlor walls! But,

taking the entire community together, it is estimated that not one man in ten is "in Polygamy," and the ratio isplaced by many much higher. Very many are too poor to afford it, and others, 1 am constrained to believe, cannot reconcile it with the nobler instincts of their hearts and their attachment to the one wife of their now cheerful household. As illustrative of how the system works when practical application of it is attempted, I was informed on good authority, that one of the Mormons, highest in authorityand influence, whoso name I have, had an interesting and lovely daughter just ripening into womanhood. One of the lordly Saints, the possessor of several wives, had it revealed to him that she was to be "sealed" to him in marriage. The father got wind of the revelation, and quietly but expeditiously he hurried her off to one or the Northern States and there sho remained until her death. It was unnatural to the loving father's heart to permit his daughter to be offered a sacrifice on the altar of bestial passion. Said a well-informed young lady, born and reared in Salt Lake, and a devoted Mormon m all but Polygamy, said she—"I do not know of a single happy and contented family where Polygamy exists, in all this city, except one, and that is <where the husband married sisters>." I was invited with a number of ladies and gentlemen, travelling companions, to spend the afternoon, yesterday, at the attractive and comfortable residence of a leading Mormon. After a pleasant call, where all was neatness, order and apparent happiness, meeting only the one wife, who alone inhabited the house with her intelligent and agreeable daughters, one of our ladies complimented the husband on the pleasant visit, the happiness of his household, and expressed her great gratinnation that he only had one wife. "I beg your pardon, madam," was his response, " but I have just a little while ago returned from a visit to <my other wife>, who lives down on —— Street." The lady's husband told me this morning that his wife went back to her room at the hotel and burst into tears at the thought of such a state of domestic society. And so it must affect every pure womanly heart. The oldest of these daughters, a sweet miss of sixteen, has been absent in New York and the East visiting this summer, and she has returned home a bitter opponet of the whole religion, and openly declared her intense loathing of Polygamy. She also said that some of Brigham Young's most interesting daughters boldly told their father that they never would marry a Mormon, and that the first Gentile that won their hearts should have their hands in marriage. The leaven is working among the young Mormons, as they see more of outside society; but the power, and superstition, and bigotry of the Church are as yet allpervading; and there is no dawn yet, that I could discover. Said I to one of the prominent Government officers of Utah Territory, "How can we keep this large, flourishing and orderly community out of the Union?" "Never," said he, "let us recognize this institution of polygamy, this system of debauchery and crime. Let them stay out of the Union as a State till the crack o' doom. Let us see (if it does not soon destroy itself) if the Almighty will not make of this plain a second Sodom and Gomorrah of destruction, or hurl upon them these Wahsatch Mountains." And so with a last look at the grand mountains robed in their snowy dress, and the beauty of the plain, we hurried away in the stage to-day to the station, and now await the train for Sacramento. J. W. F. ----- XVI. ----- FROM PROMONTORY TO SACRAMENTO. Last of Salt Lake-Down the Valley of Humboldt River—A Monotonous Ride—Across the Sierra Nevada Mountains—Magnificent Scenery— The Gold Mining—Arrival at Sacramento. ----- Editorial Correspondence.] SACRAMENTO, Cal., Sept. 22, '69. Leaving Uintah we follow around the northern end of Great Salt Lake, first passing through Ogden, which was the proposed place of junction of the Union and Central Pacific Railroads by the last Congressional bill upon the subject. As we passed over the Road the officers of the two companies were in conference on the question of the junction, but had, as yet, failed to agree upon the locality. After passing Ogden, the train stopped at Corinne, where I was gratified to meet the JOURNAL'S old friend and correspondent, Capt. Beadle. He looks like he was enjoying Western life to the fullest extent; and I was pleased to hear him so highly commended by the citizens of the Territory, the Mormons excepted. His caustic editorials are a perfect terror to them, but he is very popular and highly appreciated by the Gentiles. At Promontory the junction is for the present made with the Central Pacific, and here a complete change of cars is made, including transfer of baggage and mails. Owing to the unsettled condition of the junction location no permanent improvements have been made by either Company at this point, and the accommodations are very inadequate to the demands of the traveling public. One cf the noticeable features here was that as soon as the train arrives a number of gamblers bring their cards and tables out immediately in front of the cars, and in the open day set to work to gull the simple and unwary. The unanimous judgment of all passengers is that it is a disgrace to the Railroad Companies, or whichever of them has the control of the grounds, and. ought to be stopped at once. It is the only appearance of open and unblushing gambling seen on the whole route, and it should be terminated instanter, as it can be. We take our last view of Salt Lake as the shades of night come on, and during the night we came up out of the Utah Basin over the mountain ranges bordering the west and north sides of Salt Lake, and when morning dawned we were on the headwaters of Humboldt River, down the valley of which we were to travel the live-long day and into the night, and a wearisome, monotonous days travel it was too. We breakfasted at Elko, the most thriving business place on the line of the Pacific road east of Sacra mento. It is the railroad station for the celebrated White Pine mining region, and is full of bustle, energy and signs of mining life. Here we saw, for the first time in large quantities, the magnificent fruits of California. As another reminder that we were approaching the Golden State, from Promontory west, we fold up our greenbacks and stick them away or sell them to the brokers, for henceforth we are in the land of gold and

o for other cur- i rency. It is f ratifying to sea the Kririiin,! clittcring lace3 and hear that rency of the country, aster ail. The valley of the Iluuiboldt, down which we passed all day yesterday, ha3 very little of attraction. Close along the river, occasionally, are strip3. of brown meadaws, which will answer the purpose of grazing. The hills and distant ranges of Eiountains are such as we saw much of ia crossing the Eastern side aal table lands of the Rocky Mountains, of such a monotonous character a3 to grow tiresome. The valley is generally a dry, desolate plain, with a profusion of sage brush and scattering tufts of parched gras, and white with alkali. The dry sands of the river bed drink up its waters so rapidly that where it empties into Humboldt Lake, the river 13 much s;mall3r than an hundred miles above its mouth. As the train passes along the wmd raises the dust, and the dry alkali powder filh the cars, and ms.tes the traveling at times quite uncomfortable. One can thus have a taint conception or the privations of the emigrants and train- . -i a j 1 J men in other days, wnose iran aown this valley is seen from the cars, as we hurry along. We saw all aloni the road yeateraay the New World as represented in her oldest inhabitants, and the Old World in our newest emigrants the Indians and the Chinese. The Chinese appear first at Promontory, and are engaged alons the route still as roadmen, keeping the track in repair. The Piutes, among the lowest of the Indian tribes, are scattered along ia the mountains of this region, and the squaws with their nappoose swung over their back?, followed bv the older children are at all the' stations to beg crackers, crusts of bread or remnants of lunch from the passengers. They are the picture of filth and degradation, and ara the nearest remove almost lrom the brute. We were glad when night came to hide the monotonous scenery of the Humboldt Valley from sight, with the assurance that the morning would eive us a welcome change in the as pect of nature. We were up with the first breaking of dawn to find our selves near the summit of the Sierra Nevada mountains, and surrounded by lofty pines, the only appearance of genuine fores's since we left the Missouri river, and we could give them a hearty welcome. We were in the earlv morning passing through and near some of the most charming scenery of the Sierra Range, and we can only catch a glimpse of it ere the summit is reached, and we nasa down on the western slope to the Pacific. We bare;y catch a glimpse of Douner Lake, that lovely gem of the mountains, as our two laboring engines drag the long train up the steep ascent ; and . now we enter the enowsheds, and for many miles the magnificence of Nature is shut out from view, with only an occasional tantal izing glance, as we pass over a bridge, or from one shed or series to another The Summit House stands seven thousand two hundred and forty-two feet above the sea level, though by no means tho highest point ot the moun tain ranee. Coming down on tho Western side of tho Sierra Nevada Mountains, after emerging from the snow-sheds and tunnels, the course opens out on some most magnificent scenery. Wo are amid the erafcd old pines, many of them from one to two hundred feet high, and some of them, it is said. being found a3 tall as three hundred feet: tho Summit peaks behind us the track climbing around the sides of tho mountains, seeming sometimes to double its course; swinging around the head ot tae canyons with tho Bear and Yuba Havers and ether streams far below us in the valleys. As we pass along rapidly on tho descending grade, wo observe numeious mining ditches and flumes carrying largo and rapid streams cf clear, cold water for mining purposes, come have tallen into disuse, but many are still in operation and are being profitably em ployed: and all along the road, away in the mountains, we see the work of the gold diggers. And so we pass on amid mining claims, by the side ot large ditches, through the deep gravel cuts, along the grassy hillsides, with occasional glimpses of the North Fork of the American River, foam ing and dashirg along in the narrow gorge, near two thousand feet beneath us. This wild mountain scenery ap proaches the-cHinax of its grandeur at a point on the road hair way aown the Sierras, called Cape Horn, where the track 13 carried around the side ot a bold promontory and across long and dizzy trestle bridges, tothe mountain on the opposite side of the valley. It ia useless to attempt a description of tho magnificent Tiew here presented, which is said to be the grandest scene on the whole line of the trans continental railroad. Here, as in many other places in crossing these rugged mountains, the track has been built up canyons and through gorges where never man had been able to find even a pathway, the men who broke the first standing ground being held by ropes until firm footholds could be excavated in the roeky sides of precipitous bluffs. Our locomotive hurries us along, and we are scon past the rugged mountains, and next pass through the foothills to tho opening valleys and broad bottoms ot the American river. We have left the chilly mountain atmosphere behind us, and as we begin to feel the warming influences of the mild Pacific air. here wo find our selves in Sacramento, the capital of the Golden State.
