COLUMBIA. S. C. Wednesiay ttorning, September 6.1871 MIXED SCHOOLS AT THB SOUTH.-Tbe mischievous attempt to establish mixed schools of white and oolored ia Louisi? ana has resulted, as might have been anticipated, most disastrously. The ill feeling oroated hos destroyed the useful? ness of tho schools for both white and . oolored. The attendance is greatly re? duced, and the expense of public in? struction greatly increased. In More? house) Parish, there are twelve schools, .each having twelve or fifteen pupils. Each behool has a teaoher at $60 per month, so that the 180 pupils cost $8,640 -per annum, at the least. Tho inquest on the body of Alice .Bowisby has been concluded. The evi . dence wea sc weil arranged and covered . every .point so conclusively, that thoro - was no necessity for spinning it out. The verdiot rendered finds Bosenweig . guilty of the girl's murder, and that : fiend has been committed to answer. It .was shown beyond cavil on tho inquest that Bosenweig and ?Bcher were identi? cal; that the girl came to his place on Wednesday, and that Bosenweig assist? ed in sending her remains away in tho - trunk. These points appear to bo so . fully oovered as to leave no doubt of his . oonviotion; bat the poliae are still on tho . alert for any additional evidence that .may tend yet more conclusively to sad? dle bim with the guilt and the punish ? ment. NEWS ABOUT THE FEVER.-A word of . explanation in regard to the daily ro ,-ports famished to the press by Dr. Ro i bftst?uebby, the indefatigable oity regis? trar, may serve to prevent any misap? prehension of their nature and value. /Tile reports are made up for tho twenty ' four hours ending at 12 o'clock M., and . show the number of certificates of death, ' from yellow fever, received by the oity <xegistrar within that period. Certifi? cates banded in after 12 o'clock M. on one day appear in the report of the fol? lowing day; so that when deaths occur tin tko afternoon, or are not reported ? promptly, there may be an apparent dis? crepancy between the actnal deaths and the number reported. Bat any deaths ? omitted, for tho reasons given, in ono . -eport, must appear in the next. The .-community, therefore, may rely on the (reports as faithful exhibits of the course of Ute fever in Charleston. We believe .that it is not practicable to report the . number of new cases each day, for the ?reason that, in the opinion of many me? dical men, forty-eight hoars must elapso ?before it oan be known with certainty whether a patient hos, or bas not, the .yellow fever. Four deaths reported yes? terday.-Charlesion News, 5th. SUICIDE OP A CLOWN.-The dead body of Charles Parker, ono of Barnum's cir? cus clowns, was found in some under? brush, near Schenectady, N. Y., on the 29th ult. When discovered, the body was lying with face downward, and in the right hand was clasped a pocket? knife, open and bloody. The throat waa out in tbreo'places, the jugular vein .being severed, and on the right cheek, .-near the mooth was another ont. The .body was in an advanced state of decom? position, ?nd it is supposed had lain in > the underbrush since Friday night, on which day Barnum exhibited in that city. The coroner's jory rendered a .? Y.irdict that death resulted from wounds inflicted by tho deceased's own hands. A FIRST CLASS EYPOCUTTI*.-Sarah 'Brows, oolored, was arraigned before Trial Justice Magrath, yesterday, on the .charge preferred by Rebecca Boyd, her former employer, of stealing a whito dress, muslin spencer and an under gar meut, in which she was baptized on Sun? day last, at the foot of Tradd street. Her guilt, the articles having been re? covered from hor, was so unequivocally established that the Justice sent her to jail for twonty days.-Charleston Courier. DEATH OP CAPT. E. B. SMITH.-This experienced ship-master died recently in New Bedford, Mass., in the sixty-third year of his age. He was here not lons sinoe in command of the schooner W. Li. Bradley, which vessel is now in this port, and of which ho was part owner she being employed in Messrs. W. Roach . & Oo.'s Boston lino.-Charleston Courier, Col. Piokett, a Georgia planter, has in the 'South-western part of that State 6,600 acres in cotton, and 3,600 acres in oom ; and it is estimated that ho will clear $180,000 upon his cotton alone. He is said to have the largest cotton field in the South. He employs nearly 400 hands, all of them negroes. The Raleigh Sentinel is told that Mr. ? Parrot Creech, of Johnston County, has on bis farm two pigs, five weeks old, - -which have only two feet eaob. They are said to be thriving finely and will be . on exhibition at the next State Fair. Isinglass has been discovered near tho 'thriving German settlement, Walhalla, in Pickens County, and the mines are being worked with n. profit of from four to-ton dollars a day per band. .She new iron steamer Iiis bas boea purchased by the Wilmington, Columbia -and Augusta Railroad Company, to run upon the Wateree, between Camdon and ?the railroad bridge. Tho chaplain of the Iowa State prison ?was asked by a friend bow bia parish oners were. "All under conviction," wis the reply. The Illinois farmers are said to be dis? couraged, thoir corn crop is so great, and the pri?es consequently so small. Salt Linke Clly and ll? Surrounding*. Glaucus, the traveliug correspondent of tho Augusta Constitutionalist, furnishes tho following interesting nccouut, under dato of Salt Lnke City, August 15,1871: EDITOR CONSTITUTIONALIST: This ojty is one of the most attruotive places in the West, nnd, since, the completion of the railroad, bas become the, resort of a largo number of people from different paris of the world, who are brought here either by curiosity or business. The Mormon leaders certainly oxeroised great skill in tho' selection of tho spot for their futuro home, after being compelled to leave their last "abiding place." The situation of the city is said to Lavo boen indicated to Brigham Young by un angol, who, some assert, was the spirit of Joseph Smith, the father of Mormon? ism. It lies in an angle of tho Wuhsutch Mountains, close to the foot of the Northern hills, and the valley is one of the most beautiful the mind can con? ceive; being surrounded by scenery hold and impressive, with the rugged peaks of tho Wahs?toh range, forming a back? ground, their heads lifted above tho clouds and the gorges filled with snow whioh the sun-light oannot melt. The city, at prosent, has twenty blooks, con? taining ton acres each, the streets run? ning ut right angles to eaoh other, aud beautifully shaded with locust and other varieties of treos. Tho squares abouud in orchards of peaches, apples, pears and other fruits, while flowers are to ho seen in soma of them as rich and fra? grant ns those cf a more sunny dime. Tho templo, tho great "sanctum sancto? rum," is just above the grouud, although, as President Young informs us, they have been more tbun ten years engaged in its construction. It is to ho built of a beautiful light-colored granite, which is brought sixteen miles by wagon. When oomplete, it will be 186>? feet from East to West, and 99 feet from North to South; will have throe towera at oaoh end, two of whioh will be 225 feet in height. The building is not to be used for purposes of public worship, but for the rites and ceremonies of the church-suoh as baptisms, anointings, &o. No time has buen Axed for itu com? pletion, and from present appearances years will roll by before it assumes itu contemplated shape and form. The tabernacle is one of the must wonderful buildings I have evor seen. Its roof is egg-shaped, and is covered with 3,500.000 shingles. It is 250 feet long, by 150 wide, and when full will bold about 15,000 people. The Bingle span roof is said to be the largest in tho world, and certainly nothing in this country begins to approach it in size. The walls consist of forty-six columns of out sandstone, from whioh the roof springs with its unbroken arch. In au ordinary tone of voice, a speaker can be distinctly heard at the extreme end of the building, so fine are its acoustics. The organ was built by Mormon arti? ficers, ont of material obtained here, ex? cepting the pipes, and is the third largest in the United States-the Boston organ and the one at Beecher's church being larger; but both of these, I be? lieve, were brought from Europe. The tones are full, round nnd very perfeot, and the Sunday we attended church added much to the impressiveness of the service. There is a theatre here, something on the Dorio style of architecture, which will hold nbout 2,000 people. We went there to hear three negroes, two girls and a man, sing operatic pieoes, with which they made porfeob failures, but never? theless received mnoh applause from the audienae, consisting of a few husbands, many wives and countless children, whe brought to mind Artemas Ward's style of complimentary tioket after ho had boen once imposed upon: "Admit the bearer and one wife only." The city hall is quite a fine edifico, and oost 870,000. Brigham Young's re sideline, culled the Lion House, from tho carved figure of a lion in front, i: one of the finest buildings in tho city, and is connected with the tithing, tele graph and private offices, so that every thing is under his own eye. The Mer mons havo many elegant stores here where overythiug con be purchased from the rarest luxuries to tho articles o prime nocossity. They are all brauchet of one parent store, und belong to at association of which Brigham Young ii President. Each store is controlled h\ a superintendent, and the profits of th< business are divided ont every quarter and wo wero told amounted to abou twonty-five por cent, net per annum Over euoh of these stores a sign oau bi seen, consisting of an eye surrounds by rays, and the words, "Holiness ti the Lord. Lion's Co-operative Morcan tile Institution." The MormonB are di reotod to trade with each other, and t< let the "Oentiles" alone, whioh dircctioi many of them obey, and thereby inou the ill will and oursoB of the aforesait "Gentiles." As it very rarely shower here, there haviug been but three gooi rains this year, the people are suppliei with water from a cool, limpid moontah stream, whioh is carried through tb streets by moans of ditches out on cithe side, and on different days of the week i man goes aroand to inform certain o the people that they may turn the wate in their lots for two or three hours, ant thus every ono has his supply furnishei without interfering with the wants a others. The city being built mostly o stone and "adobes," (sun-dried brick, with numerous shade trees, and thia de lightful stream of water flowing througl all the streets, presents an air of indc scribablo comfort, peace and health. 1 certainly is one of the cleanest and ben laid out cities on tho continent, and eve with its 25,000. inhabitants does not rc quire tho services of any policemen ipi: the streets either during the day ur a night. It is impossible to go much int detail in a description of the city witl: out extending my lotter to an unwai mutable length, and I therefore pass o to other matters. Near tho city aro th celebrated Hot Sulphur Springs, whor the water flows from the Bide of the mountain at a temperature of about 102 F. ; but this is reduoed to about 80 F. when it reaobes the bathe. Large num? bers, both strangers and Mormons, bathe here everyday, aud nothing is pleasanter than a bath of about fifteen minutes in those health-giving waters. To remain longer than that, however, seems to de? bilitate very muoh, as one of our party learned to bis sorrow. Tho spring " .ouae, however, bas au apartment for ladies, and the day we were there twelve of the President's daughters wero enjoying a bath. They tell mo the waters were once muoh warmer than now, and that when tho "gold fever" was high in Cali? fornia, a party of miners, on their jour? ney Westward, stopped over night near the springs, and one of the teamsters, having heard that tbe springs were tiHed by the Mormons to preservo themselves in perennial youth, resolved to try the experiment on himself. Wbeu he reached tho water, he found it much hotter than ho expected, but he said he could stand anything a Mormon could, and pluugod in. Ile came out instantly, however, looking like a boiled lobster, und in u condition to be easily flayed. We spent a delightful day at Great Salt Lake-the Dead Sea of America and found it all that had beeu represent? ed. It ia, indeed, ono of the wonders of tho world. It has no visible outlet, and ia, doubtless, the remains of some vast sea, for tho water murks aro still visiblo high up on the sides of the mountains which surround it. It has a number of rocky islands, upon one of which the "church cattle" are kept. It is said to be about 125 miles long by forty-five wide, without a living thing in its waste of waters; nothing to give a vibration to its curreuts or ono life like throe to its briny bosom. It is absolutely dead, nud lies there in the sun-shine like a field of burnished silver. Everything around it is utter desolation, aud reminds ouo HO forcibly of ruin and death that tho heart growB faint as tho oyo wanders over its motionless surface. Along the shores bushel after bushel of salt eau bo seen, and the Mormons cart it off to the city aud use lt for preserving meats, ?fcc. When the rates over tho railroad aro re? duced, it will become a source of con? siderable roven uo to them, und t i ey have now put up some vats near tho lake shore to increase the supply. They claim its waters will make nearly a pound of Bait to the gallon. It is certainly buoyant enough to retain the human body, for, after sinking to about the neck, we walked in the water for a long distance, without any trouble or difficul? ty. Tho beach, at what is called Black Rock, about twenty miles from the city, is thi best pluce to bathe, as the descent is gradual and the bottom filled with small white Bund. The shores of tho lake in som? places are literally covered with very Btnall black flies, which appear to live on the salt or salt weeds. They rise up when yoa approach in perfect clouds, and it requires the most vigorous brushing to keep them out of your eura, mouth, uoso and eyes. I nm told thoy are here in larger numbers this year than ever before. The rivers Jordan, which we crossed, and in whose waters wo dip? ped our hands, Weber, Bear and other small streams flow into the luke, and it is said to be a well-known fuct that while the water does not become fresher its volume is constantly increasing, there being a greater depth now by twelve feet than there was twenty years ago. Some say that in time it will cover the entire valley, us it did in former days, and drown out the whole Mormon settle? ment. This assertion, however, is made by "Gontilea," aa they aro called. The Mormons do not seem to apprehend any such result, and regard the rising of the water with much indifference. The Mormons raise wheat, rye, oats, corn, potatoes, nearly all the various vegetables, and, with their orchards, can sopply ever3 want; and when we remem? ber that in 1847, when they arrived here, this place and all tho other settlementti were wild and unbroken country, it bo comos a matter of great astonishment that they have made such progress and attained such eminent prosperity. All their crops are mado by mentis of irriga? tion, and tho amount of labor required to produce them would startle a South? ern planter if he had to employ negroes to do the work. Yet these people, yeal after year, in spito of many adverse cir? cumstances, sow and reap, laying up iu their "Tithing House" immense quanti? ties of grain and other things. Some? times tho grasshoppers destroy theil crops, and they have several times been reduced to the vergo of starvation; bul now that tho railroad is open, such a condition is no longer feared. They tell mo that when they plunted their first crops the gras-hoppers carno in large numbers and began to destroy thom, whoa immense flocks of sea gull? ap? peared and began to devour tho grass hoppers. They say tho gulls would eui until full, then vomit up their meal and begin again. This love-feast was con tinued until the grasshoppers wero ali destroyed, and was regarded as a direct interposition of God in support of Mor monism. The minerals of Utah oonsist of gold, silver, lead, iron and copper. The cop per ores are so varied that in the mu seum here can be sean a perfect flowei garden of oolors made by combining the different kinds. The silver mines have lately attracted muoh attention, and already hundreds ol minora are here developing them. Thou sands of dollars have been made aoc lost during the past six months, and thc mountains are full of people trying theil luck at this most uncertain business. The "Emma Mine," one of the largest yet found, yields $15,000 per day, and ii said to be only half worked, on account of the difficulty of shipping the ore fron tho mountains. It was recently sold bj its first owners for over $1,000,000 it gold, and is at present the property of t stock company, with SG.000,000 capita stock. Of course there is a big luwsui couuectod with it, and soverul lawyer; hilve been brought here from tho East to represent the rights of parties, plaintiffs and defendants, before the ouurts. Tho oase ir to be heard sometime dnring the fall, but it will probably be years before a final decidion is reached. The Mormon leaders do not regard mining with much favor, and have instructed their people to let it alone, except as laborers for the owners of the mines, and to devote themselves to agricultural pursuits; and in this they have shown much wisdom, for without any risk of loss, tho Mor? mons have made up to this time more money out of tho mines than two-thirds of the owners. There are quite a number of Mormon towna und settlements throughout the Territory, all of which aro uuder tho control of the churoh, and contribute to its demands and prosperity. There are four newspapers published in Salt Lake City-tho Deseret News, the official organ of tho church; the Salt Lako Herald, also Mormon, (iud tho Suit Luke Review and Salt Lake Tribune, "Gentile." They nil appear to bo well patronized and uro goit n up in gool style. Thu Methodists and Episcopalians have one church ouch in thu oity, wiih very fair congregations. The hotels here are uot very good. Tho two principals pues aro the Stilt Luke House and Town? send--the first kept by Gentiles, tho last by a Mormon. They uro holli quiie large, and, as buildings, present a line appearance, but the wants of the inner mun aro not very well cared for. A small pioco of tho beof we hud every day would make a fine "cud," upon whioh chewing could bo dono for a week, aud that too, without much injury to the meat. Wo were told by President Young that the Mormons in the Territory num? ber about ono hundred und fifty thou? sand, with a constant mercase from births and immigration. Each immi? grant hus his expenses paid, and is fur? nished with ii home and employment on his nrrivul, and is expected to refund the monoy only when able. lu my next, I will endeavor to give you the church purt of Mormonism, us I understand it, its effect upon thc people, what it hus accomplished, Seo.

DEATH OV REV. T. S. BOINEST.-Wi regret to announce tho death, ou tho iii instant, of this esteemed citizen. Mr Boinest died at his residence, near Po maria, in this State. His disease wa typhoid fever. Born in Charleston ubout forty-four years ago, of Frencl parents, the deceased became a Lu them minister, and located at Pomaria. A tho time of his death, ho was in charg of three Lutheran churches in am about Pomaria. Mr. Boinest was no only au earnest, able and acceptable mi uister of the Gospel. Ho was also useful, oncrgetic aud public spirited oiti zen. He was strongly impressed wit tho advantages to accrue to this Stat from tho introduction of immigrant from Europe, and his services in tili behalf were conspicuous. Tho death c such a man is a publio loss as well s a private calamity.
