INDIANAPOLIS, Extract from a private Letter from s Lady THE MORMON'S WIFE. "You ask me to jjive a little more in aetaii, the incident in the cars, that occurred as we were crossing the Allerrhnnies, of which tell you -the story now, after the vividness with which it impressed me 1ms so nearly passed away, and if I could, it would not produce the effect it u.itny buukb w ien we met. 1 cdu i not c did upon nie.

I could have sent the airo-res sor tumbling into the gorge of one of those mountain torrents, and considered it but retributive justice. rill. , . me iuoimon elder came into our car near the loot ot the mountains, and sat near usj He would have been good-looking if he had looked goou. lie had a peculiar manner it indicated oucu penect satislaction with himself and the world.

He had fallen into the hands of a gentleman whose cAtci.ijr iu questioning iea him on to speak freer of himself, and so, gradually, they came to the peculiar institution." . . ., ,. , . . He said the women seldom earod tn m..of their own aire, that their ftftur-tinn in,im.j ward the priest and elders. . .This convinced me that if the men are all hinocrites. the women n not wholly so, but that they do this for the exaltation of their souls. My lawyer, ( for so I shall call the questioner,) asked whether the women w. not jealous of each other, especially the younger ones. 1 he feuint ans wercd.-rNo;"---gome few," he continued, "were a little difficult: ly confined to the young. To be sure his wife felt it a little when he married a second time; the rest had never cared." "Did she care so very much?" continued the lawyer. : "Oh, yes, I thought at first it would have killed her. Ynn see when I became a convert, I did not under stand that part of it, because my wife and I had been so happy together. . We married early, and had scarcely been a day apart. When I wanted to go to Salt Lake she did not incline to fro, because she did not see so clearly as I, the truth; of our great religion but the idea of mv marrv ing was no hindrance. It did not occur to her as possible, and it was not for a long time after I got there that I thought of it myself. . "Margaret did not mix with the people. . She retained her old Eastern ways and was always at home. I had never let her do much work, (her hands were too small for that.) She was stately in her form, and she had a queer way of twisting her long hair round her head, so it looked like a crown., ihe folks said she was proud,, and .one or two who had daughters asked me why I did not take a wife, and if I were not afraid? So it came upon me gradually, while UDOn her. von see, it fell like a stroke." v , "You must have found it difficult to break such a thing to her." . , , Yes, t was hard to do. . But at last I said I will do it on Thursday, and on Thursday evening when I came home she was standing in the trar den, and 1 went and put my arm around her, and told her how it had been revealed to me that I must ro.ar.rj again." , .... ., .,. ,. . ,. "What did she say?" , : "Nothing. Not one word. She just irave one scream. I declare I shall never get that scream out of my ears. . I believe I should hear it if I were on the Andes. I thought I heard it a minute ago. lhe. sleet rattled against the windows of our car, and the bleak midnight wind swept down the mountains, and 1 thought 1 heard it too. , : ihe Mormon proceeded "And then she fell like one dead. 1 thought she was dead, but she came to after a while and, would you believe it, she never mentioned the subject to me. ' I could not find it in my heart to say a thing about it again tor more than live months. Meantime she had taken a cold, and did not get strong again, I saw she was wearing the thought of it about her like a mourning weed,, and so, , when she seemed a little better, I talked to her about the great principles of our Faith, and how those to whom the spirit revealed itself must follow its dictates, or be forever .cast into hell. And I told her she need not fear, my affection for her would not be divided, for I had had a vision, in which it was told me that I should love her forever, and that we should never die, but live together and see the thousand years of Christ's reign upon the earth, and be by him rewarded for our obedience and willingness now to cast aside our selfish human will and sicrifice to him. . . ' '. Margaret, was always a true believer. But I had always been wandering in search of a rock of Faith until I anchored here. I had heard from pulpit to pulpit such conflicting doctrine, I could lay my hand on nothing that seemed secure,' and I think she was unwilling to set me adrift again, and so she consented. My parting from her was a dreadful one, for she moaned and wept like one in despair, and I was fool enough to cry, too." . "I don't wonder," said his interlocutor. "It is hard wholly to subdue nature, even at the call of duty," and he gave a low laugh."

"When I came back," continued the Mormon, "it had been just so all. the time. She had never eaten and 6lept, but only walked up and down, always, hour aftor hour." .. .. "Well, how did she get Used to it?" '! ' "She retained the house I had first built, of course. It was large, and we had no children, and she was very lonely, for I was necessarily much away from her.' I went as often as I could, but I married in quick succession two others, and so we were much separated, and she fretted in my absence. At last it was this; or she saw the folly of lesisting her fate; she got quiet in her mind used to it in fact. '.People do et used to anything, you know. When the iron force of cir cumstances presses them. on every side, and they do not know where or iow to resist, they at last grow quiet. She took it into her head, after awhile, that she would not live very long, and she said that it was not worth while to be separated so much the little time she was here, and if I pleased, the families might all come and live to gether. I told her she was sensible, and getting used to things. But she only said something to herself about the collapsing side of an iron shroud pressing out her lite. It sounded like poetry. one anvays had a way ot picking up such odd tilings out of books. "Did she eet well?" . "No, not yet. Indeed her cough is rather worse, and she is more feeble, but she seems happy enouy-h. She is very kind to every one. especially the two little children, and she will get better when the spring comes. ; I know she will; because it has been revealed to me that she is to live and dwell with me a thousand years wnen jurist shall reign and judge the world.",, , THEWAR. ' : British Imbecillitv. So extraordinary is the want of arrangement in the distribution of requisites for the , British, that Lord Raglan has been compelled to borrow 10,000 great-coats from Gen. Canrobert.' And in great haste, the other day two agents of the British Commissariat came to Balaklava, and takins? the first shin tlv could find which chanced to be one that had lain at anchor for a considerable." time, with a cargo from England on' board, there beimr nr. one authorized to receive it they set out for Constantinople. On the way, they hanDened to mention to the captain of the ship that their ur gent mission was to buy shoes for the troops', who , . wewMieu conuiuon lor want. The captain, in reply, gave them the agreeable information that his ship had several thousand cases of shoes on board for those very troops, but that there was no "DroDer officer" tn rvwva tLo.v. ' ' Consequently they could not be landed ! State of Negotiations on the 23d. In the House of Commons,: on the 23d, Mr. Layard questioned the President of the Council " whether "he hud any objection to lay on the table of the iiouse the correspondence that had tubun ni.Jno th foreign Powers with regard to the treaty "of 2d of December, 1854, and especially any .. - """'"Muiiuaicu iu me nussian lov"ernment concerning the interpretation put by "the British and French Governments on "the "Four Points not for neu;oiiation. but for "an. "ceptance ?" 1 ' , ' ' . 1 1 ' Lord J. llussell could not sav whethnr the correspondence could be laid on the table. tie would, however, state, generally, what had occurred with respect to the Four Points. In this state the question stands at present,' namely: At the end of November the Russian Government, through their Minister at Vienna, declared their acceptance of what are called the "Four Points. On the 2d of December a treaty was, signed by France, England and Austria, and on the 28th of December a meeting was held by the Ministers of France, England and Austria, at Vienna, with Prince Gorcliakoff, the Minister of Russia. . At that ' meeting the French Minister read, on the part of his own Government'and of the Governments of England and Austria, the interpretation which these three Powers put on the Four Points, and which should be considered as the basis of negotiation.' I will mention onlv (said Lord J. Russell) that with respect to the third point, it was proposed in that interpretation to put an end to the preponderance of Russia in, the Black Sea. . Prince GorchakoQ' stated that he would not agree to the proposed interpretation of the Four Points, but that he would request further instructions from his Government. . Ten days afterward he informed Count Buol thatlie had received those instructious, and on the 7th or 8'tli January another meeting was held at the office of the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs, and at that meeting Prince Gorchakoff read a memorandum, which he said he had received, and which contained the views of, his Government. It was replied, by Count Buol, Lord Westmoreland, and 'Baron de Bourqueney, that they had no authority to receive any such memorandum,; and that they must require, as the basis of negotiations, the consent of the Russian Plenipotentiary, to the interpretation of which he had already received information. The Russian Plenipotentiary,, as Lord Westmorelrnd states in his dispatch, then withdrew the memorandum he had read, and declared the acceptance on the part of his Government, of the communicated interpretation as the basis of negotiations. My honorable Wend (said Lord J. Russell) will understand that the Russian Government,' in accepting that interpretation as the basis of negotiations,, of course reserve to themselves the power, when the basis is laid down in articles, to make any objection which tliey may think fit. ' The, "British. Government declared that they were ready to, enter into negotiations upon the basis mentioned, but no powers are given to the British Minister to negotiate.; Hear, hear. , .. ,. . ' Sir iH.: Wjlloughby inquired 'whether there would be any objection to the production of the protocol of the 28th December. , . , : Mr. Layard also wished to know whether the House should understand whether negotiations were going on, or were suspended at present." Mr. Bright asked, Would, when a distinct proposition had been accepted, instructions for the prosecution of negotiations be sent out? Lord John Russell had already stated that the British Government had expressed their willingness to negotiate on the Four Points, but they could not state anything further. ' Hear. "

NO 2 mensions of brains; for it requires the higher branches of science to do it correctly; and we can't tell what a person is toorth unless we are skilled in those branches. It requires greatness' to judge of, or compute greatness in others; and those who cannot see greatness where it exists, are surely very little, pusilanimous things themselves. Let us not persecute others and call them little, because they do not belong to our flock; for we might show ourselves to be like the the puny grasshoppers, that once made a great "chitter-chatter" and declared themselves to be the lords of all creation, while they were so shortsighted they could not see the noble cattle that were grazing around them ! It is best to let our envy boil over into our boots and scald our feet; but if we can't be quite easy, let us b just as easy as we can, and not bolt and bar our doors against others, for they might not wish to associate with us more than onst or twist at most, if they were thrown wide open. Yes, let us avoid sectarian prejudice, but let us beware of the delicate little hand that was never enlarged by any good deeds, for it is likely to have a heart in Co. with it as little as itself and moreover it is apt to pull things from our pockets much more apt than the enlarged and generous hand, that could not be so easilyinserted, .' , ; Let us also look out for, those sleek ones, who profess more piety than would be a load for two common persons; but are perhaps inGdel to their professions, or never known to practice more" virtue than some others. Let us beware of those who with blubber faces blarney about to excite our sympathy like big babies, making lugubrious complaints, and almost ready to cry when everything is not quite so bland as desirable.' This has ever been a successful method to gain favor; but,: reader, we know it is not very refined. ! Beware of one whose head and hands are not trained to labor who only effervesce a little scum to float on the surface of perverted taste in society.

' .. .' . , . ; .. . 1 Suspicion is generally bestowed where it is, least deserved on the honest who do not flatter our prejudices on those who, standing before our gastric dignities', do not say yes to everything, and pleasantly thank us for the privilege to breathe our atmosphere-r-on those who have opinions of their own, and do not ask us for ours. . But we are never suspicious of those who are very careful not to jog or jostle our old fogy notions, that may be a hundred years behind the times nor of the sly, secretive hypocrite, that wades right into our affections and those of our daughters, ancle deep, and with masked face and serpent insinuations, crawls into the very sanctum of society, where "Angels bashful tread." We need not fear those who come to us independent, with open countenances and open hearts,' inclined to practise good principles rather than, profess, and who dp not always soothe with soft-, soap all our sour, rusty, and mouldy sentiments are opposed to all kinds of injustice "Nebraska Act," "Fugitive Law," and slavery, and in favor of the Indiana Temperance Law, Why,' reader, such a one is a pretty fair fellow, whetu er he belongs t,o our clique or not So don't require such to pass through the torturing ordeal of, seventy-five years probation, and, with owlish,' wise face, undertake to :dictate to the conscience of your guest, or doubtingly descant upon his as distressing to your diseased dimensions, and dan-, gerous or demoralizing to the dear, dutiful denizens of your diocese. Others' particular isms may be popular in the locality whence they emigrated, and we may seem as strange to them as they to us therefore, don't say they; "shan't" become members of our Christian society for the reason that they might vote for such a man as Horace Mann, that manly and intelligent gentleman, or Theodore Parker, to address us; for we need n't hear them, if they should; and we could lock up our children so they oould not be contaminated and besides, it is silly to talk so,' when, probably not either of those heretics could be in-( duced to lecture before such society, for the reason that they are obliged to' reject numerous so-' natations to lecture Deiore the most intelligent and refined societies in the country and theyr have higher business to attend to. , Poor Horace, and Theodore! I pity them they are down!, although the only fault of Horace, is, that as roan is a gregarious being, he is so too, and congregates with Unitarians while Theodore's fault is still greater, for rather than to join any .church,: he, thinks the churches ought to join him; and, like his great "Example," who came to "seek and save that which was lost," has1 tried to ren-, der a little assistance to the most lost of all men1 and women who are trampled down into the mire of shame and degradation under the "iron hoof of unprincipled American power." , !, Don't let us fear that all strangers will invade our precincts and steal away our money, and the ladies' affections, and then, scamp-like scamper off, because some few have done so, and the very1 ones we ought to have looked out for. Don't let us fear they will get all the profits in merchan-. dise, excel in the arts, take away our feed, and turn us out to grass, like Nebuchadnezzar. There is enough room in this extensive world for us all, with a plenty of swing for our elbows and feet, if they don't cover more than a square acre;: but it is best to keep ourselves in as snug, neat little lumps as possible; and not. allow our corporosities to spread out too flat over the country and don't let us en viously watch the motions of others, but hold on to our nerves and keep from being irritated, when somebody else gets something good, and very naturally smacks his mouth while eating it if the smacks come con-j secutively louder, then hold on the harder be, patient, and we will all get something good by-and-by. If strangers get into our browsingplaces, tread on our acorns, or hit our sore places, let us tell them . of it gently, and if. they have as much manliness or marrow of morality in their osseous construction as there is marrow in a flea's spine, they will thank us, and tell us they were x not conscious of their intrusion, or that theywere appropriating anything of our longings to to themselves. . , Therefore, don't let us begin with a low-wow, in a boorish and overbearing manner towards '
