tn and fro in order to emhark an unusually large nunioer oi passengers, wc at last got off, some minutes behind time, and half an hour later were dropped at the little Mormon town of Ogden, which ha3 lately been asreed upon Ly tne union nml Central Pacific Companies a3 the point of junction for their road Ho wfi found railroad aifairs in a unusually disturbed slate. Already some dozen or twenty side tracks had been thrown down, and iron was being got in position for others. Heavily loaded trains were constantly arriving from both tho East and West. Tho entire outfit, comprising several Hundred men, had arrived from Promontory tho previous night, and there was much hurrying to and fro in a vain endeavor to get things in some sort of order. Fifteen tents of various sizes were already occupied when I arrived, and during the following night and day somo forty or fifty more were put up, of these about one-third wcro occupied as railroad offices and the remainder a3 drinking houses cni gambling dens. As an evider.ce of the rapid march of civilization among the Saint3 I will mention that up to tho 30th November, sixty:even applications had been made for license to sell intoxicating spirits. It is generally believed that Ogden is destined to be the metropolis of the mountains, and tha merchants are preparing for a heavy Winter's campaign. Ogden is also the southern terminus of the Utah Central (Bri ham's) Railroad, which traverses the richest portion of Utah, and ends at Salt Lake City. The ontire road bed has been graded, and twenty miles of track are down, ready for use. It is thought that the road will be completed by the latter part of January, 1870. It is estimated that these three roads will keep one thousand men at Ogdsn constantly employed, which will, of course, x benefit the town. I remained there during Sunday, and at an early hour the following morning, bade adieu to Utah, and was soon speeding eastward alter an absence of, six months spent among tho Saints., We were soon in the region of wonders, of rocky mountains, of rocky labyrinths and countless peaks, of a thou sand prospacts of far-reaching vistas, wonder inspiring, in a country famous for its Alpine grandeur. I wish my pencil could picture them to you a3 they stand forever and ever there among clouds, and mist, and rain, and furious tempests, but also familiar with sunshine, acd sunny weather. Leaving these granite portals, we follow a second whirling canon stately twisting ourselves out frcrn among tiie grizzly knot of bald Epurs which stand like so many sentinels guarding some ancient hallowed stronghold. As the heavy train soughs along around sharp curves, overlooking awful chasms, the traveler gazes upon suaceeding ranges., of columnar granite and sandstone; upon smooth bondcry masses rising skyward; at series of rising hills, truncated, fissured, terraced; at a mountain shooting abruptly sky high, out of sight among the ocean of clouds; at canons bewildering'y crooked, and so on until we arrived at the top of a long grade, many thousand feet atdve sea line. At noon we emerged out into the sunlight and among tho grand wilderness of rockies, among granite deserts, among huge aspiring rocks whose summits are bald and hoary from age. For five hundred miles wo traversed that portion of the great American Desert, which is no myth, and on the morning cf the second day found ourselves upon that division which may bo classed as practically worthless. This, however, wa3 soon crossed, and we entered upon a soil of average richness, fit-.for agriculture, but noted especially for its grazing. We soon emerged upon the Laramie Plains, and looking out of the windows of the comfortable'express-C3rriagc. wo found we were nearing the town of .Laramie, second m importance on the line of the road. Half an hour later, after having shaken oursolves a little from the lethargy of sleep, on the platform of the depot, inhaled a little Iresh air, and sipped, with relish, a cup of strong tea, wq were bowled along at the rate of twenty-four milss an hour, over the pastoral lands of Wyoming, heading direct for the bold, the seemingly impassable mountains, the vast rocky hights of which were seen in front, like a mighty bulwark, with clouds and mist enveloping the crests. From Laramie, Eatt and West, the plain seems only a fev- miles in width, white it is, ia reality, considerably more than forty. It becomes napnower to the Northwest, and is suddenly terminates miles away by the Black Hills andSnow Range, which form one regular Unbroken barrier as far as the eye can reach. Although the ground was covered with snow and the beauties of the country were hidden as I passed over this time, yet I still retain pleasant remembrat es irom my first trip early in June. The jlain3 are known as Big and Little Laramie, and are at an actual eleva'ioi of 6,500 feet above sea level. Here singularly enough the prominent characteristics of two opposing climates are brought together, and have culminated in a mixture of the common bunch of buffolo grass, which 13 regarded as very nutritious, and wniea already affords nourishment to numerous herds of stock. Passing rapidly over this narrow strip of country, we reached Cheyemic, the Metropolis of the Mountains, at noon. It is the depot from whence two railroads issue one the mam hnc from East to West (Union

After a delay of ten minutes here, we darted from the depot at real express time, and during the dcr of the day continued our observation. On the morning of the third day, we awoke in Nebraska, and it was impossible to avoid noticing the'cnansc of scenery from the amorphous, the wildly weird and unusual, into the happiest valley world the poets can imaciae. Almost every foot of land ia felicitously adapted for the comJort, the pleasure and the sustenance cf man and teast. Oa grassy plats and gorges, the labor of the settler U apparent. There is one drawback, however, to these laaa3. nnri that is the almost entire absence of timber. Nebraska has the land, the air and the watrr, but lacks the coal, timber and rock, though in cer tain locaut es the latter aoouna-1 The people, however, are ecer gctic and are last maugu: am g u now state ot tlnns-?. JNeartnc lovrr.'b mil! fnl "ernvi's" are tdanted and ornwinc fin:-:lv. I know of EeVCial of these "groves" containirg from 20.000 to 40.000 newly planted trees, tk r.f tha cottonwood and sot t . ! maple", both of which grow rapidly It is said that thi3 timber grows twice as fast by scttirg the tree out ia rows and planting corn among them for ai least the two first years. I learned too that while the uplands are better for wheat, corn grows much better in the valleys, and also that a crood crop of both is almost certain. This seems a nttio strange woea wa take into consideration the fact that the .summers are very dry and hot. I am assured by old residents that not half as much rain falls during a season es ia'the driest portion of Indiana, and this seems to be the explanation. After a coutinued hard freeze of several months in Winter, with no thaws, the ground pulveriz a finely in Summer, It is never watersoaked, and pulverizes early in the season; and during this time it is always light and loose, and never breaks or clods. Thus the neccssiiv ot plowing up the land in the Soring for planting wheat is avoided when it has twice been loosened. On the slopes and in the valleys the soil is continuous and ot tho same qualify for a dozen feet beneath the surface. Immediately un der this lies a bed of soft, rather wet sand, which probably causes the eround to remain moist so Ion?. But Nebraska i3 no less noted for its fine grazing, and while looking at tho external features of it from the express carriage, I was inclined to be envious. It was in a happy mood I looked forth as we were whirled over creeks and rivers, through pleasant garden like tracts, between classical hilta, past villages, churches, hamlets, farms, cabins; through anew world to the ennuied city gentleman; pleasing to the eye and heart of any man. It was an interesting Btudy to look into tho faces of my fellow-travelers and read the cmotion3 there expressed a3 each mile was run. There were among them ihi worn oat consumptive, the dyspeptic, the rotund stomached, with his atrabilarious complexion aud yellow ey3; tho corpulent man, with his painful breathing; the literary recluse; the physician, sick at heart and tired with being among lever-stricken patients; tho banker, with his yellow parchment face and. all. were ready and profuse in their praise of tho wonders of tho new land. At last, near noon, wc sped iuto Omaha, in good health and spirits, and after shaking off the disagreeablo effects of tha long ride looked about for the hour's amusement. But Omaha is dead. Other cities may bo dull, and the citizen3 may complain, but Omaha is worse, and the wonder is that the citizens survive. Business has unaccountably taken a walk," to use a Western phrase, and public amusements are few and lar between. Elaborate descriptions and favorable anticipations of Omaha and its future, have already appeared in tho Jour nal, and 1 will not tarry with my ' notes." At tho hotel, I learned that our friends. Miss Fanny B. Price and Mr. D. Hanchett were playing a successful engagement at tho Academy of Music, tho only legitimate place in the city. llemcmber us to Mr. Silverthorn," was their lastcommand, as I bade them ad; ju, after a very pleasant call. Miss Fanny has just returned from a fourteen weeks' absence to Montana, where an unprecedented success attended her. The Helenaites wore little less enthusiastic than the Evansvillians have shown themselves upon one or two occasions, and the little lady was loaded down with costly presents. But I digress. At four o'clock, I crossed the Missouri lliver, and saw, as we steamed along, the work that has already been dpne on the big bridge, which will unite Iowa and Nebraska at this point. A single pier upon tho Iowa shore marks the place. Tho bridge will be half a mile in length, constructed entirely of iron. It will be fifty feet above high-water mark, and seventy above low. There will be eleven span3 of two hundred and fifty feet each. The piers will be hollow iron cylinders, filled in with bowlders, rough stones' and concrete. The cylinder is composed of massive iron rings ten feet in hight and nine and one half in diameter. These are fitted upon one another in such a manner as to form a solid column to thahight required. The process may be interesting to the reader. The first cf the rings is placed in position upon the sand, tightly capped. The air is then pumped- out, when the pressure drives it down Xo the level ; then it is uncapped, the sand thrown out, and another adjusted over it. This is repeated till a firm foundation is reached, when the maiu pier is placed in position. Tho bridge will cost 2,000,000, and when completed through train3will pass over regularly ln-their trips from ccean to ocean. AtCouncil Bluffs I overtook our mutual friend J. II. Beadle, who arrived there juat one day ahead of mo. It was a pleasant re-union after a separation of nearly three months. I also had the pleasure of meeting Mr. E.S. Wilkinson, editor of the Helena (Montana) Gazette, who accompanied us over the Chicago and Northwestern Road to this city. Mr. Wilkinson is the pioneer editor of Montana, and I found him a very pleasant and intelligent gentleman. He give3 a gtcomy account cf affairs in tho Territory, but seems to have great confidence of better things next season. 1 he mines have all been abandoned, on account cf the scarcity of wood aad water, but tho. companies have made arrangements for work on an unusually large scale during the coming season. I was cgreeab'y surprised to find "Beadle" almost entirely recovered from the late brutal attack upon him by Mormons, an account of which

The work will con- i lain the personal observations and sketches made in journeys cf many fcnndrpd miles throucrh the territory. ! The home-life of the people, beauties j -g of iarming and irrigation, the physical Geography- of the Great Basin, the fauna and jlora, ornithology, to oloev acd entomology of the valleys of Utah, and napy new and interestmz tacts regarding tne operations ot nature in the Jail . of rain and snow, and the formation" of rivers,' lakes and " sinks," which have undergone a great charge within the last twenty 1 1 . . -it i : yeara. Ul tne Auorrnon?, as a reli gious sect, Mr. Ueadle has steaany endeavored to observe the rule : " Nothing extenuate " Nor sat down nxxzhl in malice." In all his writings I notice that he has constantly endeavored to distinguish between the people and their ruler icrs the mass ana u-e intrdigu, the guilty few and tho innocent many, and whilo he h?.s rendered justice to the ht'cr, he has not hesitated to denounce tho crimes if the former with all the resource of Iai giige. A serious diOiculry meets ua atthc very ou'sit of an examination iuto the affairs of Utah. The fair-minded Gentile who really desires to know the truth, must resolve himself into a perambulating jary of one to try every fact presented by the strictest rules ot legal acumen, lie win nna mere cm ferent accounts of, three separate reaons for. and three opposite deduo tions from, ev;ry possipie lace pre sented, viz: the Mormon account. w in v r.rsurncd and one siceo, in bitter anti -Mormon aicount, which would condemn ail of cn opposite creed without distraction, aud the a count oi' the n.odcrato GentiLa who arc in tho best position to giva a fair judgement, but being necessarily dis trusted by ootn tne oiucr psrues, ur;: in a poor w:y to get at facts. A whole year of patient investigation, aided by legal studies and habit3 of thought, has enabled the author to get a clear insight of the peculiar state of society. Two classes of writers have dealt with the Mormon question. The ono have described ia plowing terms tho simple earnestness cf the people, their devotion to an idea, their faithfulness to their leaders, their industry, frugality, temperance, and love of home; the otherhave painted in dark colors their horrible crimes, their lustful and debasing doctrines, their depravity, treachery, disloyalty, petty tyranny and social meanne.cs. Paradoxical as it mav annear; both are in a measure correct; thousands of tho Mormon hiitv. isrnorant. zealous, and sincere, have all tho virtues claimed for them, while tho Kans of licentious villains who mould this pliable mass are guilty of tenfold inoie crimes than the world will ever know. In all descriptions of life acd manners in Utah, this description is to bo carefully kept 10 mind. A marked and novel feature in this work will be that it takes the ground' and steadily maintains it, that polyga my is not the greatest, certainly net the cnlv evil ot Mormonism, nor the ono which most affects the resident Gentiles. No doubt, polygamy gives rise to many of the other evils, and both increases and strengthens them, but that of itself effects Gentiles very little. It is the union of Church and Slate, rather the absolute subservience of the State to the Church; that the latter governs the Territory in every respect with a tyranny worse than tho Star Chamber or the inquisition. Tho outside organization is merely used by tho Church to carry out decrees already concluded in secret council. Mormcnisia wa.3 an unmitigated evil long bsfore polygamy wa3 hitched to it; the priesthood ruled an ignorant people by means of fanaticism and spiritual terrors, and that made them dangerous neighbors and troublesome citizens. Missouri and Illinois found at dear cost, that no State could tolerate a Church exercising an abaolu.o temporal jurisdiction, within the State, but independent of, and often hostile to it, directing the action of courts within its influence, and claiming a greater right over the conscience of its subjects than the laws of tho State. In short it is not tho social, immoral cr polygamic features that chiefly concern us but the treasonable and mutinous. If polygamy were blotted out to-mcrrow, we could never admit Utah as a State in her present condition; our Constitution can never rccogaize tho temporal government of a church. At tho same time the real evils of polygamy are portrayed in that fascinating style which results from close observation and study of facts. I predict for Mr. Beadle a rapid "sale for his book, and for the world a better understanding of this dark but peculiarly interesting subject. C.
