Tho yccular and spiritual welfare of a peo" , pie arc intimately connected, and we arc pleased to observe the advancement that is ! making amongst us, in both respects, on al- < iho.h every nana. ? nnout tiic guming ami benign influence of a propor religious spirit, our worldly success must be only temporary, and without those fruits which niakotho wny clear in our passage through the "tlurk valley of the shadow of death." Those thoughts wore forcibly brought to bear on a large congregation, at Mount Zion, in this district, on tho occasion of the d edit-n* tion of a new Methodist chnreh at tliut place. The old house, hallowed by the recollection of the pleasant hours and spiritual food therein enjoyed, gives place to a new and more commodious building. Many of those who delighted to listen to the droppings from its holy sanctuary have boon gathered to their Fathers, whilst others, whose headsarc "Idoshoming for tho grave," linger yet awhile around the snored precincts of the long cherished ground. The service of dedication was performed by tho Presiding Elder, Itev. XV. A. MliSwai.v. His discourse was appropriate, clo <(iiont ami touching, producing deep and earnest feeling throughout his audience. The .rQumi'k, so striking and true, that evorj nation worshipped a Si;i*rkmk Bti\c, or u OmI of its own creation ; was darkly relieved in disclosing the fact that millions, in the heathen world, walked Mindly after Baal, instead of in tlie "footsteps of tho true and living find." It was not tho least pleasing thought of i the occasion, that wo livo in aland of liberty, I ...1 I- \ ? . .. wiifru viiuii <>uu may worship according to tiie dictates of hi* own conscienco. This is iv vital principle, which should not lie forgotten in the shugglo for the honors mid gohlon trash nfthouurld; and in tho pursuit of which, t.nu as it is lamentable, every thought and nerve of sordid human nature seems to he ' intensely strung. Recollection*, pleasant but not without tlinit* uliiiil'1 vi ? iM'iiu ilprl imr n>tn<1 \V!#li era tlic-ro, it was tlio consecrated ground 11 j 011 which our heart, in the hoy-day of it? youth, receive I its first impressions of divino truth. Pleasing, that such a boon had boon vouchsafed to us ; and, sad in the thought, that nnch an opportunity may, in life's struggle, pas.?. without being profitably improved.? Shadows, too, marked the footsteps of those, friends and kindred, who liavo "roiio before;" relieved vuly by tho cordial friendship with which we arc btub alwajr ?r<;ctod, I mid in tho |>roiii?sc that in death nil, snnctif.rd ami redeemed by tho holy npiiit, >ludl ' by joined together in the hlos^od world above !

Judge Cradlcbaugh had discharged the. jury, nnd had been compelled to discharpe. also all the prisoners in custody. On the , occasion of tho discharge of the juries, tho Judge charged tho .Mormons with having obstructed the officers of the Court, suppressed testimony, and refused to mako nroviston tor the ( .niiUimmnii* ?i>?t onoo of prisoners. Owing to tho excited statu of .the popular feeling, a detachment of one thousand troops hail umvecltrom (.'amp Floyd, and encamped near Provo. Governor (Summing had issued a proclamation, defending the Mormons from tho charge* mndu against them. It is not stated whether he bad demanded the withdrawal of the troops from Provo. Much bad feoHug't^Qtexisted between the Mormons and Utfrfed States troops, though those of the latter who are station ed at Provo had behaved with remarkable forbearance.
