FROM SALT LAKE CITY.

The Beauty of the Country—What can be Seen in a Li tie Ramble—The Excitement Among the Mormons—A Glance at the Conference.

SAXT LAKE CITY, UTAH, October 8, 1871.

Editor of the Terre Haute Gazette It is within the range of possibility that the readers of the GAZETTE, or at least many of them, are not familiar with the beauty and grandeur of scenery afforded in a country like this. Therefore, I shall try and give them the benefit of what I saw, iu a little ramble, taken a short time since. Takisg a northerly course from the city, in company with a friend, we commenced to ascend the mountain Ensign Peak, a spur of the Wasatch Range, which sends its foot-hills to the outer wall and limits of the city, fhe top seemingly but a short distance, we find after a sharp walk of a couple of hours to be at least three good, steep miles. After a'short rest aud tne view unfolding before us in all its sublimity, assured us we were well paid for our trouble and labor. The scene before us is as fair as the imagination of poet ever conceived, or as artist ever dreamed of in his most radiant visions. Facingsouth, in the foreground, lies the busy city, in all its beauty, einbowed in shade, the clear waters irom the mouutaius coursing though the streets, and the many buildings, dazzling in their whiteness. Beyond the city, stretching far away into the illimitable regious of mist and shadow, lies the valley, glowing as with gold in the lull splendor of a tropical sun, its fields thickly studded with (•right, many-hued flowers, its ridges purple with health-like moss, lakelets, streams and pools shining with a light that seems more than earthly, the highly cultivated land waving yvith abundant crops of grain. Far above the plain on either side rise the grand old mountains and magnificent peaks. Although twenty to forty miles away, their summits ares so clearly defined against the blue sky that they do not seem above four or five miles oft—the purity of the £ir and the altitude causing the deception.

The base of the mountain ranges^are greeu with, grass and moss. Midway up the sides tlie color changes to russett, and the summits are white, "cliffs of emerald tipped with snow," sparkling and glistening in the sunshine. We pause to take in the features of the eastern end of the valley. A little to the east, and almost under our present standpoint, lies "City Creek Canyon," romatic and impressive in character, where the craigs and clifta, worn by time and weather, assume the most fantastic shapes, abounding in features beautiful and picturesque, which are so dear t.o the imagination of the artist—a fit scene for the pencil of a "Gookins." From this creek comes the supply of water for the city, the are brought in by sakas or series of ditches. Brigham Young, by an act of Territorial Legislature, controls this creek and canyon, aud hereiu is located the "mill of B. Y." A little beyond the canyon and nearer the city, very solitary aud still, is tlie cemetery, a dreary looking place, enclosed by an unsightly, rough board fence, not a flower, tree or shrub, an occasional buncb of sagebrush and greasewood, alkali, and parched and cracked soil. This is a true picture of our "city of the dead," a fair description of that spot where are pitched those "tents whose curtains neVer outward swiug." This should not be, in a community claiming to be the only deciples of Christianity. Let them earn the title by devoting a little time, from the "living and the worker," to "the sleeperaud the dreamer." Further to the southeast we take in view '-Red Butte canyon," and "Camp Douglas," with the glittering tents of the the "braVe boys in blue." Then comesEmigration Cauyon,through which, befote the "iron horse" invaded the wilderness, the old stage route and emigrant road descended through the Watsach Mountains, and into the valley. Still farther on we detect several other gorges and ravines, each marked by its own special character of scenery. Parley's, Mill Creek, Big Cottonwood and Little Cotton wood Canyons, all resting in the cool shadow of towering peaks aud masses of pine forest. Lastly comes American Fork Canyon, some thirty miles to the south. The panorama, in this direction, is somewhat abruptly closed by "Mountain Point." Through CBnyon, gUloh and oleft, streams of. water, clear as crystal, and cold as Siberia, are leaping and singing to the raphfameasure of mad, joyous gallop flowers aud ferns are scattered in nooks and corners, over boulders and in pockets, in generous prolusiou. In the three last named canyons the sound of picks and the shivering blasts of powder in the mines, fill the air with melodious ripples of the sweet song of industry, and miners, in shirts as varied and gay in colors as the poncho of a Mexican brigand, are climbing and delving everywhere, kuocking. at the rocky doors of tne treasur-caverns of the "Wasatch" for admittance. Manygain an entrance and are richly repaid for their hardship aud labor, while bthers fail, and disgusted, seek newei and more tempting camps. Looking to the west is the undulating plain or valley, (fifteen miles in width,) lying between us and the "Oquirrh Range" of mountaius. The plain is dipping in the center, and rising, on either hand, into benches or terraces, which mark the gradual fall of the waters of the lake in ages long ago, which undoubtedly at one time covered the whole of this fair valley.

In some parts, the valley retains its ancient aspect in others, where it is lit up by the golden glory of the sitting^un, it warms iuto a tawny red, relieved by leafy clamps, and brightened by the wave of the Jordauas it flows, glistening, through pastures and plain, wending its way with the benxls and curves, shining like a twisted silver thread, until it is lost in the bosom of the Salt Lake. Here we have the finest view of that "Dead Sea of the West," which winds at the foot of the mountaius like a broad ribbon of burnished silver. The first mention of this remarkable body of water is by Baron La Hontan in nis American travels ofl6S9. It was first explored aud de* scribed by Gen. Fremout in 1842 aud afterwards surveyed by Captains Stansbury and Burton. 1* occupies an oblong hollow iu the mountaius, and is about seventy miles long and thirty miles wide. The average depth is not over eight feet, and it seldom exceeds thirty feet, and its waters are »o salt as to form a concenti'ated brine so strong as to be untenanted by any living creature. Six touring mountain islands diversify the monotony of its expanse, named respectively, Stansbury, Antelope, CarriugtoA, (6r Chuntfi) Fremont, Dunuison aud Dolphin. The first two named are twelve aud sixteen miles long, which in the distance look cool and inviting, and suggest ideas of happiness and comfort to be enjoyed in their silent and lonely recesses. One

of

the most remarkable

points in view is the Black Rock, (or Witche's Castle) a solitary and majestic heap of fliut conglomerate, Visible as a mere dot from our lookout, standing lonely sentinel over the dark waters of the lake. Northward the ascending ourl0 of vapqr jrijpow I(M J0MU09 of t4»

Hot Springs, wthich issue from the base of the peak on which westand. Lookingstill farther to the uorth across the waters of the lake, some 50 miles, we espy the cosy city of Corinne, the Gentile town oi the Territory. To the west the picturesque shore of this "inland sea" presents itself, diversified here and there, by the retiring hills and mountains, rich with galena, silver and copper the lakesleeps in deep purple mouutain shadows, broken and irregular. The reflection of the peak* and summit-line of the Sierras of Ne vada aud Utah, which cast their shadows far out upon the bosom of the placid waters. These, with the beauty of a west growing red, lend a magic aud enchantment to the scence, which is truly sublime and grand. Slowly we turned hack to the city. By lingering footsteps, the day has fled.

There has b.-en some little excitement here within the past ten days, in consequence of the Chief Justice of the 'lVrriiory, aided by the Grand Jury, teaching the lesson that the Federal power and not tie "kingdom of God," legitimately bears rule in Utah. This is more fully appreciated by Mormons at the present time than ever before, from the fact that tlie Grand Jury brought in bills of indictment against Brigham Young and some of his polygamous brethren for adultery. They are to be tried under a Territorial statute, which was signed by Brigham when he was Governor of the Territory in 1852. They propose to "hoist him on hisown petard." It made Brigham "sick" wtien the United States Marshal went for him he plead for time under the excuse of being sick, and was grauted uutil the 9th to plead and give bail. The others plead not guilty and gave bail.

At one time there was talk among the Mormons of resistance, whereupon the Governor called for more troops from unrounding forts. In a very short, time large re-irrforcements came to Camp Douglas by rail. The result was a taking in of horns by Brigham & Co. The law, I think, will take its course now without trouble, and it will be enforced wit bout fear or favor.

There is an immeuse concourse of the "faithf^if' in the city from all parts of the Territory, attendiug-their annual "Conference." I took a glance at them iu the Tabernacle this morning, and found them a motly crew. Ait, revoir.

COAL I1MKRV STRIKE.

Two Thousand Employes of the Clay County Mines Cease Work—They Demand a Reduction In Weight—Action of the Operatives—Efiects of the trike.

In accordance with their previous warning, the miners in the Clay county coal fields stopped work yesterday morning, until the operators had announced their position.on the proposed strike. Thede--mand of the miners is a reduction in the weight of a tou of coal from 2,100 to 2,000 pounds in mines where 2,000 pounds make a ton, an advance of five cents for mining is demanded. At present rates, the miners receive from $1 to $1.25 per ton, varying with the thickness of the vein. At noon, yesterday, the miners, two thousand in number, held a meetin the woods near Brazil, and resolved to allow those who were engaged in the mines when the proposed advance was allowed, to go on with their work, instead of organizing a general strike, as was at first proposed. The Carbon Block Coal Company acceded at once to the demands, aud they now pay $1.31 per ton for mining. They employ fifty workmen.

At a meetiug of the operatives held at Brazil last evening, it was agreed uot to acceed to the demands of the miners, and work will be stopped in all the miues save those of the Carbon Company. A strike at this time will prove peculiarly disastrous to the business of the country, and involve greatloss upon the operatives. Many of the latter have taken contracts for the winter, and unless the supply of coal is kept up at the present rates they must lose heavily. Aloug the Ohio river there is no coal at present, owing to the low stage of the water, and that section of the country is lookiug to the block coal fields of Indiana for the winter supply. Altogether the strike is a very unfortunate one.-

A dispatch from Brazil, dated twelve o,clock last night says: A full meeting of the Clay county coal operators was held this evening in Brazil, at which nearly every miuing company ^as represented. The feeling wm strongly in favor of resisting the demands of the miners, it being considered that the present time was favorable 'or the operators to take a firm* stand, against tlie proposed strike, from the= fact that the deranged eonditi«»n of affairs in Chicago cuts off for the present that important market. Different opinions have been expressed regarding the coal supply in Chicago, but from authentic sources the assurance comes that a very heavy stock remains unharmed by the fire, and large fleets are ou the way with full c^rgos from the eastern lake ports, which quiets all fear of a short supply in the event of lorn continued strike. From the fact that the Chicago business is now so uncertain, aud competition in other markets very great, the operators deem that the reduction of the standrad mining ton from twenty-one hundred pouuds to twenty hundred pouuds is an unreasenable demand on the part of the miners.—Jndianapohs Journal

itt ff Il:j ^From the Boston Traveler. A First Class Notice of Tilton's Book. Theodore Tiltou has written a life of Victoria C. Woodhull, which, for blasphemy, indecency and lunacy combined, has probably never been equalled. She is gravely declared to be possessed of the spirit of Demosthenes, who, in bodily form, appears to her, sits by her side, and dictates those fearful and wonderful pronuueiamentos which flow from her unconscious lips, and are taken down by one of her husbauds and given to the world iu print-. She is declared to have watched unceasingly for ten days aud nights, without rest or food, over a sick woman, till the latter was restored to health she herself growing all the time fair and etherial, and her flesh wearing a look of transparency, thus leading her to believe that at last in this way will the moral body be refiued away, and tlie soul only remain. She is declared to have held to her bosom in a sevenhour trauce the body of her dead son, till perspiration broke from his clammy .-kin, audtbechild came back to life. Her biographer adds that it is "her belief that the spirit of Jesus Christ brooded over the lifeless form, and re wrought the miracle of Lazarus for a sorrowing woman's sake." Her "marriage" toner second husband, and her support under the same roof of her first, are treated as exhibitions of moral courage "for which she has not received so much censure on earth as I think she will receive reward in heaven." And tocrown the absurdity and wickedness of this dreadful production, the author says: "Twice (as she unsbakingly believes) she has seen a vision of Jesus Christ— honored thus doubly over St. Paul, who saw his master hot once, and then was overcome'by the sight." Verily, nee the red-hauded atheists of the fi st French revolution elevated and worshipped a harlot in the place of the God of heaven, there has been BO parallel to the deification of VictoriaC, Wo *1fcoUJty

[Associated Press Dispatches.] CHICAGO,.October16 —There has beeu a wonderful activity iu the South Division of the burnt district to-day. Thousands of meu have been at work clearing away debri-, recovering

safes,

occupied Is less convenient. A

vote was taken by the Board to-day and a majority declared against removal, but the largest and most influential operators favor the removal, and it will probably result in a split in the Board, as the friends of the South Side have already organized, and are ready to do business in Standard Hall.

Preston & Kean, private bankers, whose house was consumed, will resume and commence business to-morrow. They are the agents of Jay Cooke & Co., in negotiating for the Northern Pacific Railroad Company.

Rush Medical College, the buildings of which were destroyed, resumed its course to-day in the City Hospital. The attendants who left the city are returning, and the lectures will continue through the winter as usual.

The Presbyterian Seminary and the Professor's, residence in this city are all safe, and the original securities are claimed to be good. Mr. McCormack, though one of tne heaviest losers by the fire, meets promptly his new contributions to the endowment fund. The balance of the endowment would have been completed here by others but for the fire. Some help to save the institution would be thankfully received.

The paper rulers of this city almost to a man have been thrown out of employment by the fire, and nearly all have been rendered homeless and destitute. They therefore make ari appeal to their brethren of the same craft for aid. All coutributious will be' thankfully and faithfully dhjjributed. They should be addressed towiarles H. Day, 256 West Washington street, Chicago.

William W. Wall is President of the Relief Committee, and they are doirfg their duty, aud the hour for serious suffering is^past. The contributions so liberally forwarded are faithfully distributed to the needy. A large numler ot impostors were supplied with food and clothing at the start, but the relief organization is now so perfect that very little imposition can be practice I hereafter.

Colonel Eastman, Postmaster, announces that the money order department of the Chicago postoffice is iiKoperation, and is rea ly to pay all orders promptly. Postmasters making deposits should remit National Bank drafts on New York or send currency by registered letter.

WASHINGTON, Oct.* 16.—A telegram was received at the Post office Department to-day from Chicago, stating that one of the postoffice safes of that city had been reached, and its contents, found to be badly scorched. Thirty-five hundred dollars in money was recovered, aud about eighty thousand dollars worth of postage stamps were in a condition to be returned for exchange, although not fit to be used. The cashier's day book and ledger was fouud in a condition to be read, but the cash book is destroyed. The safe of the money order department, and tbat of the stamped .envelope clerk are yet in the ruins.

SALT LAKE, October 16.—Brigham Young appeared in court this -morning, when the indictment for lascivious cohabitation was read to him, and upon the usual question of the clerk, be answered with marked seriousness, not guilty.

The court room was but moderately crowded and there was no excitement Brigham seemed much improved in health and there was confidence ih his manner. In the case of the May or—Daniel H. Wells—a similar charge in the reading of the indictment was waived and after the title the case was announced he too plead not guilty.

The defendants' counsel moved that the court continue the cases until the next term.

The prosecution opposed it, but they said they were willing to give defenders all the time necessary for preparation for trial.

The motion was not acted upon, but will be taken up at an early day, probably to-morrow.

Judge O. F. S'.rickland, United States Marshal Patrick, and a number or Attorneys left f«»r Provo this morning, where court for the Second J. .icial strict

The action of the banks yesterday in unanimously resolving to open for business to-morrow and to pay at once every dollar, if called for, due their depositors, and the promptness of the insurance companies iu settling their losses has inspired a renewed confidence among pur business men. All looks well for the future so far as the future is within human control.

There are many sensational and exaggerated reports published through the press in other parts of thecountry, which have not the remotest foundation in truth. They are sent by special correspondents, and not through the Associated Press. One report is to the effect that the wooden pavemeuts of this city were entirely consumed, and that they served largely toward feeding and extending the fire. Nothing could be further from the truth. The .wooden pavements remain as laid (jown, firm as rocks, and are scarcely scbrched at all, and only in places where red hot bricks and stoves and iron fell on them. They are at this moment nearly as good as ever, and are about the only thing that resisted successfully the fearful heat to whieh 'they were subjected. The reports, also, of the loss of life were greatly exaggerated. Large numbers supposed to be lost are alive and well. This is true about Colonel Stone and his wife, Miss DePilgrlm, Dr. Frier, David A. Gage, City Treasurer, and mauy others.

There is an active war going on in the Board of Trade as to where it shall be located until tbeir edifice is completed. It is now located in the West. Division, But a large numoer of its members favor its removal to Standard Hall on Michigan avenue. Thi9 building is excellently adapted to the purpose, while the building

escort was asked for from Gen. De Trobriand, but refused. The United States Marshal says it is impossible for him to make arrests without military support.

The Mormons here have started a subscription defense fand to aid Brigham Young, Mayor Wells, and other church magnates, in overthrowing the charge* brought against them by the United States Grand Jury. It is said that men and women are alike contributing freely.

DETROIT, Oct. 16.—An earnest appeal still comes from the northern and northwestern portion ot the State, which is being responded to with marked liberality. Contributions in the shape of money, clothing an provisious, still contiuue to flow in by every train, and every boat conveys help to the sufferers.

In thirty days the water communications with the devastated districts will cease, after which supplies must be teamed sixty miles to Mauisteeand fifty to one huudred mile into St. Clair and Huron counties. Now is the time to send forward supplies, such as provisions, winter clothing, blankets, mattresses, and, especially, beddiug for the sick. The relief committee of Grand Rapids, in conjunction with Mr. Terry, are unremitting in their efforts to alleviate the distress at Manistee and Holland. Contri hutions especially designed for these places should be sent direct to Senator Terry, GrandHiven. The contributions at one of our churches yesterday reached several thousand dollars. Considerable aid from beyond the borders of Michigan are beginning to come in. All such will be most thankfully received.

A heavy snow storm set in in Sata Fe yesterday morning, and continued all day. The mountains are all covered with snow, and it is quite cold.

The snow storm of Thursday last was very severe near Rawlins, Wyoming. The snow was from three to four feet deep in some places. Passengers on one train reported they were delayed twelve hours with nothing to eat and but little fhel.

The State Attorney, General Champlain, says in a letter, that he will exert all the powers of his office to vigorously prosecute every person implicated in the great frauds in New York City, when he is properly applied to to bring actiou against them.

The Tribune states that a secret meeting of prominent Poles was held yesterday, which took measures to avert a conspiracy, which is reported on foot by some of their rash countrymen, to assassinate the Russian Duke Alexis. Our police, however, have no knowledge of such a conspiracy.

INSURANCE NOTES.

Important to Insurers and Insured. The meeting of Insurance Presidents in New York yesterday "was attended hy about fifty. Mr. Mitten, State Superintendent of Insurance, addressed them, saying, if any were compelled to go into liquidation, he would do the best he

could

to protect the interests of insurers and stockholders, but he wanted frank and caudid statements of their condition. He thought that the losses by the Chicago fire would he but a small per centage to the citizens of this State. President Oakley stated tbat he had just returned from Chicago, and he considered the losses there underestimated. Tbe Chicago companies will not pay more than ten or fifteen per cent, of their abilities. He stated that all the Kew York companies would pay their losses."

The following from the report of the Associated Press will be comforting to some of our citizens who have investments of stock in Chicago insurance companies, if not to heavy losers in that city: "SAN FRANCISCO, Octobor 16.—The stockholders of the Pacific Insurance Company, finding their latest reported losses by the Chicago fire to be about two million of dollars instead of one-half that sum, as first estimated, now refuse paying the vol uutary call for seventy-five percent, on tbe capital. The law does not permit a larger assessment than five per cent, at one time this the directors will levy, but it is very doubtful if stockholders will respond, since tbe best legal talent in this city declares that individual liability does not hold good in law. The company will probably go into liquidation, though all possible effort will be made to coutinue business."

Another dispatch dates that "tbe Board of Directors of the Home Insurance Company have unanimously adopted a resolution to fill up its capital stock to two and a half millions, at the earliest practicable moment. This will restore the Home Company's assets to nearly, if not quite, four millions, after every cent of the Chicago fire losses is paid. The Manhattan Company, which has announced suspension, expects to meet its'losses. The Continental have lo*t about a million, being much less than their surplus. They have doubled their capital, after paying their losses will have assets of two millions for new business.

According to tbe official report of the Auditor of Public Accounts of Illinois

... or the year ending December 31,1870, w«r« tweaty-eiffbt local insanuiM

-w

,:

companies in that State, with an aggregate capital of $5,642,531, total assets of $7,369,738, and ainouut of risks written in Illinois in 1870 $210,242,476. There were 108 companies of other States doing business in Illinois in 1870. Tbe total amount of risk written in the State in 1870 was $473,506,229. It is very difficult to obtain an accurate estimate of the amouut of risks written upon the bftrnt district of Chicago, and of the localities where the losses fall.

The Great Desideratum of the Age!

A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or gray hair is soon restored to its original color and the gloss and freshness of youth* Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands trophied or decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sediment, It will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from falling oft and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm itwxM wanted merely for a
