Tho Beech Island Speech. The Charleston Mcrcur;/, in a brief para grnpn, remains tn:it it lias reason to believe that the report of Senator Hammond's late speech, given in its columns, does not correctly represent his views.

The points made, we understand, were correctly hut not as fully reported as he desired. They have hcon endorsed, with fow excop uons, by tuo state at largo. What Does it Mean* "We were not a little surprised to find the following paragraph in a late number of the Pendleton M:?icn<jcr. Speaking of his visit t.) Willhunston, the editor says: "Enough has been already said about the Southern people running to Northern watering places, instead of visiting those in our own sunny South. Oh 1 they are so inaccessible. Papa, do lot us go to Saratoga! We acknowledge that there is much truth in the saying, for most of our beautiful scenery is . nearly, if not entirely, inaccessible.

Every place, no matter what may be its character and position, is made the butt occasionally of some numscull's witless trash, but wo had not before supposed that the editor of the Mmacnyr aspired to such an unthankful ofH.ro.

General Summary. The charges oji extravagance, preferred by the opposition papers against Mr. Bcciiaxan's administration,arc beingclleetuallv met. It 1ms boon stated that the amount appropriated for the present fiscal year is $100,000,000,but this is not true; and, moreover, the authority to spend does not make an expenditure. The amount appropriated is $08,- I 000,000, with the additional sum of $2,430,- j 000 authorized by a general law to bo ex pen- ; ded in the collection of tho revenue, if so ! much he neeossary. This would make a 10tal of $70,450,000, but it is not to bo presumed that this amount must be expended merely because it has been appropriated by Congress, for various purposes.

Wo find in the Now York papers some interesting uowh from Great Salt hake City concerning the arrival there of the United Krtnnu tl.rt rp?s)>iuiA lltlU i 'luiun ti ah*' i i iwuiiv ??*?* ?* from that city to the 3d of July. One <>f its correspondents writes: The army arrived qu Saturday, occupying ten hours in it.s passage through the city to the camp beyoiui the Jordan. The advanced guard, connnnndcd by Brevet Col. .Smith of the lUth infantry, consisted of ('apt. Pc.Saussure's company of tho 1st cavalry, Oapt. Marcy's of the 5th infantry, and ('apt. (lardnc-'s of the 10th, and a section of Phelps' bnuJrv, under Lieut. Ilow...,l Tlx, ,1 ?,? advance. (.Jotu Johnston was attended only ^ bv his regular stuff, and by the commissioners, who rode out from the city nt an early hour to meet him. The advance emerged from Emigration canon about 7 i o'clock, and after a brief halt on the beech dircetly abovo the city, descended into the streets and pursued a . it route toward the .Jordan, winch led io past Brighton Young's mansion and the * Lion House, the Council House, the Temple square and the houso of W. C. Staines, nt which (Governor Cumming is a guest.? It was followed by the 10th infantry, I'ln/lps' battery, the f)th infantry, lteno's battery, Colonel boring's battalion, (consisting of companies of the (itli and 7th infantry au<l of the mounted riflemen,) Col. Hec'svolun tool-battalion and tho 2d dragoons. Kacli I regiment and b. ttalion was followed l\v its wagon train. The sun was just setting wbon tlie dragoons crossed the bridge over the Jordan. All the flags which bad been flying ever since last runway trotn tno stalls un iMam -?j street, were struck by the Mormons during the passage of the troops. Most of the men who had been attracted from the Fov.th by curiosity, watched the procession through the cracks between the boards with which their windows were barricaded. The city seemed as dead as on the day our little party of Gentiles entered it a fortnight ago. The only groups of visible spectators were on (be corner near tho IVmplo square. A correspondent of tho Herald says: Tlio Mormons wore greatly surprised at the vast number of wugonsdonnocted with thiarmy. ICaeh division was followed by its wagons ; so there was a body of troops and then an immense line of wagons, which were driven A1. l. ii. . A., x mi _ .1 viiruii^u iiiu ciiynt iui' vroi. J iiu uny wnw intensely hot, mm) atirl beast sweating copiously. Dense eloudw of dust wore raised by the advance of the wagons, the men perspiring with labor arid the heat, and enveloped by the dust; their faces covered with sweat, were recontcd with dust, till they looked as black as tho oarth upon which tlioy trod. I ho .Mormons greatly pii111 ired the military bands, particularly tho excellent one pertaining to tlic tcntli infantry. Not a man left the ranks in passing titrough tho city; not a stick nor stone belonging to Ziot) was touched; the army passed through it as hastily as possible, and then shook the dust from off their feet by loaning into the Jordan for a bath, which every man of thciu needed. On Tuesday, the 20th ult., thennuy, under Col. Anderson, the senior officer prcnont, struck their tents and moved up tho Jordan (.southward) ten miles. On tins JJUth, the inarch was resumed, hut directed west to what aro here called the West Mountains?that is the mountains on tho west side of this vallev. 'Tho nrniv is now encamped at tho foot of said mountains, some twenty miles distant. In a few days the army will move down to Cedar Valley, about forty mihs south and west from this place, ami ten miles west of Levi. It will probably winter thero and in the adjacent vnllcvs. Cedar Valley is beyond the Jordan river and lies be tweon the foot of the first and tho body of tho second mountain west of this valley. Tho Mormons have begun, U>jrcturn to their homes; numbers hare alrenctyurei*-ved in this city, nnd others arc on the way. Hri^ham and lleber Kimball arrived dny before yesterday ; their families arrived yesterday. Within n week, it is expected that the major part of the population of this city will have returned. Whether we (lontile.s will then ho able to get rooms mid better accommodation* than we now have is questionable. 'I'llA MnnnAna lnpArmA<1 ?nn *!* ?* ^" signed nnd desired to return to their homes a month ngo, but were prevented by n movement of the nriuy, an tliey considered, contrary to the binding promise of tho commissioners. Bald movement destroyed their confidence in the execution of the nrrangement that had been completed ; so they determined to remain south till the. army passed, so as to sec what would be done, by it. From letters in tho X^w York Times, we learn that Brighnm Young had not ceased his fulminntions against the Federal Government.
