ARRIVAL or (or. K A XL \T ST L0U18 1X1 EN '
LSTJXO LNTLLLIQKXCL Muil SALT LAkK
(from the St Lout# Dtmocr*!, Juw MJ.j ,
lhu party of Col. Kaue, from Camp Scott, arrived here i
veeterdni morning on the steamer Emigrant 'lhe Col j j
remained but a few bourn, leaving fur Washington on the j
Ohio arid Miwdssippi afteruoou train. The information
brought bj bis party, of whom we may give the name of J 1
Major Howard Kagan an authority, repeat*, with oddl j 1
tionsl interesting details, that telegraphed to us from i
Hoonville on Monday night. ' ,
The party leit Camp (Scott on the 16th of May. Gov. 1
Cuaiuitug had returned there from (Salt Luke City He j
stated that aliuuet instantly upon his urrival at the Mor- I '
mon city he found the population moving off. The '
movement had indeed commenced, and shortly hu mmed ' '
till the entire people of the not them settlement* were in <
motion firigham Voting formally delivered into his I
li.oids the "great seal," and all State records. ITic Mor
mou chief* appeared particularly solicitous tli.it Governor j
Gumming should take (xxmcwiiou of these momentous
documents, relying upon this measure a* the only one '
for their preservation They were urgent thut the gov ?
ernor should at once depoeite them In a fire, proof tuft. I
The reason of thin soon transpired with the discovery |
that extensive pieparatlons had been skilfully made to |
give the city to the Humes, a In the Kussiaus ut Moscow.
I jigs quantities of dried fence wood had been arranged 1
in mag* houses which a match would have kiudled to 1
conflagration Happily, better councils prevailed among i
the ieudcrs, ami strenuous endeavors were successfully ,
made by the major part of the population to prevent the ,
t atastrophe. ,
Having received the capitulation of Brigharn, and taken
efficient means to prevent the still dreaded burning 1
of the city, Gov. Gumming deemed it proper, if powihle, I
peacefully to prevent the migration southward, and set j
<>d after the trains. The whole population of the north- (
trn settlements were on the road- n few guards alone be- (
ing left In the villages. The liumlier of men, women,
and children could scarcely be lew than 115,000. Many
were lar advanced, so that it was useless to pursue them. 1
The forward trains were three bunded miles southward I
down the valley, lire governor counted seven hundred
and tifty wagons laden with families They were abund- J
antly provisioned. Many hundreds had "hutted" by
the way?i. t.. liad built adobe houses of the road mud.
The cold and heavy rains had disappointed their ex pec- 1
tatious of the dry weather necessary to the permanency !
of such structures, and had washed away their walls.
They were thus left exposed to the winds and rain*. But
there appeared no very serious suffering, though much
and trying inconvenience. The attempt to procure a 1
general abandonment of the march was of course futile. 1
There Is uncertainty about the destination which the
Mormon leaders now propose to themselves. They keep
their own counsel in this respect with remarkable closeness.
The suggestion that they were bound for Cedar
City is rather discredited by the faettbat they havo driven
large herds of their cattle much southward of tliat point.
It is feared thut they may coalesce with some of the Indian
tribes of the South, which are already sufficiently
vexatious, and thus give much trouble to the government.
They themselves complain bitterly of the treatment of
roving parties of Indiaus, who, boding them defenceless
on the road, cannot resist the temptation presented by
so much booty. The Indians ridicule the Mormons, toying
they are squaws, and can't fight.
Gamp Scott remained healthy. 'lire accounts 6f inadequate
provisions have been exaggerated. The quality
of their fore is alone matter of complaint with the troops.
Gov. Gumming has taken efficient steps to remedy ail inconvenience,
and preclude the possibility of suffering in
the army from this source.
About twenty miles west of Flatte' Bridge, Col. Kane
met the supply train of Col. Hoffman, and also the United
ouiicn tofflmiHioai'n, iwr whubc tinivai v/ut. ;uuudwu
has hitherto been reported as waiting.
The dep irturu of the Mormons appears to be conceived by
i their lenders, and by those in the American camp, as prob[
ably the best course feasible. The coolness, address, and
lirmness of Gov. Cuminiug in securing the adoption of this
alternative to war, are strongly attested by the eye-witnesses
of his conduct. His management of the army in
I its critical circumstances also elicits, and we doubt not
deserves, warm encomiums.
[From tho St. Louis Rejsiblicaii. June 1#.]
By thq, politeness of Mr. Fay Wort hen, lato from Salt
lake City, we are in possession of full dates from that
place to the 13th ult. Mr. Wortheu came iu with Col.
Kane's company to Florence, N. T., and passes through
this city on his way to Springfield, the residence of his
lather, Dr. Worthen, State Geologist of Illinois. ? ?
Much division prevailed among tho Mormons regarding
their policy under present circumstances. Mr. W.,
however, was "sanguine" as to the success of the Peace
l'nrty.
Brigham Young had come out openly in their favor,
and Mr. W. does not think any man or men in thechurch
i< an stand up against him, and regards any unpopularity
on his part as but temporary. Young had gone so far us
to station a guard in Salt Lake City and several upper settlements
to prevent their being burned, whicii had
liccn the cause of some remark, particularly in the
southern settlements. But they complained most bitterly
of his not allowing them to take the supply trains
this spring, and said that he intended letting them
*11 come in and make Bridge! impregnable. Mr. W.'s
personal opinion is tbat. no attack on United States
troops or trains is now intended by the Mormons. He
thinks they would not interfere with emigrants to California
conducting themselves discreetly. The Indians
would not, he is confident, molest Americans stating
ihemselves to bo such. Mr. W.'s opinion, however,
it decidedly in support of additional levies, in case of
war, he does not think 10,000 men would be a sufficient
force for our purposes.
Mr. Worthen confirms the report of the evacuation of
Salt fake City, which commenced shortly after Gov.
Cumming arrived. Except around the guard-houses, the
citv is almost a solitude. The Mormons had somewhat
resented Gov. C.'s issuing a proclamation inviting persons
injured to apply to him for redress. For nearly a
week, they came in large numbers to his residence, where
he had their narratives written down, and when he returned
to Camp Scott, he carried the whole of them off
with him. No doubt, this praiseworthy step had cooled
thp ?( ..I Ufirmrut .wlh,.,..

?nts; but Mr W. does not think it will prove enough no
o ?lter matter* mterklly.

until their eye* ache and their lirnlsr refuse to perform
their duty. They have a short and painful life and an
''?rly grave. In a recent speech, I/>rd Shaftesbury said
that many of these young women had Ireen trained gently
ami tenderly, in delicate and happy homes, possessing
*11 the virtues and tenderness that belong to the female

more unmurmuring, more slavishly subject to the
authority and tyranny of those who are put over them.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. I
. i
Tm* Naval Mojumsmt.?The following is mi account
vi the monument at the Capitol, erected to the hero; i
* ho fell at Tripoli. It waa written in 1813, by U H
Latrobe, e?j. The monument stood at that time in the
Washington navy yard, facing the south : "This mouu
ment owes its existence not to public gratitude in our
uuuoual government, nor to tlie patriotic feeling* of tlie
.itiaen* at large ; but to the private friendship and adraf- I
ration of the officers of the navy, who, of their own a - '
old, assigned a portion of their pay to the erection of a
memorial of uctiuiui us heroic an any that were ever
retrieved in naval warfare ; from which, although they
thared in the glory, tlieir country aloue derived the bet.' |
fiit. The care of procuring the monument to be made
nan committed to Captain Porter, now commanding the '
Eosex. He was very much aided by the aeal of the j
Bishop of Florence, whose interest iu the American cause .
nose not to much from tiie feelings of a Catholic ecclesi ;
rstk uguiiint the Infidels, oa from an euligtiteued view of I
the pernicious effects of a system of piracy, nursed by the 1
policy of the European power*, to which America alone i
hiui dared to opjioac the remedy of uctual force. By tlie \
iurtucuce of the Binliop, Micali, of Leghorn, whs in- |
luoed to give the aid of hhi art on terms no exceed- 1
iuglv moderate, that tiie original exjiensc of the ! 1
monument, which, at the usual rate of charge for sculp- '
ture would have cost twice an much, did not ipiito reucli
|.'i,tlOO. When finished, the blocks and figures were
carefully packed up, and brought over in the Oonslitutiou
frigate to Newport, R. !., from whence they were,
lu another vessel, brought to Washington. In this circuitous
voyage several of the blocks of the monument
irnd many of the slain, composing the lower base, were
broken, and it liecaiue necessary to substitute a base of
freestone in its stead. On its arrival, it became a tjues- 1
tion where it should be erected. The Capitol of the Uuited
States was pointed out as the proper place ; but the
unfinished state of that building and the size of the monument
were otijections. However, Congress was applied
to, iu tlie first place, for the sum of $1,000 to defray
the expense of putting it up. The application,
though renewed in various shapes, proved altogether
vain. The idea of placing it in the Capitol was of course
given up, and the navy-yard, originally the most proper
situation, was chosen. To defray the expense of its erection,
which could not be less than $600, a further subscription
by officers of the navy was made, to which other
citixens contributed. The Navv Denurtment ulun mvi.
every aid and facility to th" work which could legally
lm afforded, and in the year 1808 the monument wan
placed where it now stands the principal object of view
to all tyoec who enter the yard, either by land or water,
and to an extensive portion of the city and of the port.
The general style of the work in not of Iwl taste, and
there are many points about it that are very excellent.
Its execution is not of the first class, but it is not in any
part bad, and for u work standing in our climate in the
open air, it is sufficient. The monument consists of a
rostral column of the Doric order, mounted on a pedestal
to which the character of a sarcophagus is given. On
the top of the column is the American eagle, bearing a
scroll with the federal motto, E furious usvm. The
column itself has, on the east and west side, each three
antique rostra, or beaks of gallevs, and on the north
and south, antique anchors in flat relief. The pedestal
has on the south side the inscription, Heir, decora funrtorum
in Mlo rirorum cinera.
The column, with its pedestal, stands upon a square
block of very excellent proportions. The block has a
Cymatium of semicircular compartments, on which are
sculptured in basso relievo, alternately, a Turkish turlwvned
mask, and a trophy of Turkish arms. This part
of the work Is in very excellent taste. On each side of
the block is a panel. That to the south represents, in
Iwsso-relievo, a view of Tripoli from nature, with a
frigate and gun-boats in the foreground attacking the
town. This, like all landscapes anil representations of
air and water and smoke in sculpture, is a work of no
effect or beauty, but will serve as a record ef the appearance
of Tripoli in the year 1804.
On the north side is this inscription : " Erected to the
memory of Captain Richard Somees, Lieutenants James
Caldwell, James Dw.atcr, Hrxrt Wadswortii, Jo8epu
Ihrakl, and Jons 8. Dorset, who fell in the different attacks
that were made on the city of Tripoli, in the year
of our Lord, 1804, and in the 28th year of the independence
of the United States."
On the east side : " Tho love of glory inspired them,
fame lias crowned their deeds, history records the event,
the children of Columbia admire, and commerce laments
their fail."
On the west: ' 'As a small tribute of respect to their
memory, and of admiration of their valour, so worthy
of emulation, their brother officers have erected this monument."
The block on which these inscriptions arc cut is raised
upon three steps, at three angles of which are placed?at
the southeast, a female figure, having on her head a diadem
of feathers, a covering, (like the short petticoat attached
to the Roman I.oricn,) also of ostrich feathers,
round the waist, and Roman leggings and shoes, but otherwise
naked, represents America. .She leads up to the
monument two children from the lower steps, and points
upwards to the inscription on the pedestal. This is a
badly-imagined and executed figure, and has nothing of
the native American character or costume.
At the northeast angle sits History. Shu is represented
by a tolerably good female figure, fully clothed, holding a
book in her left hand, and a pen of bronne gilt in her
right. She looks upwards to the column, and -ipis-ar*
on the point of commencing to write This figure is well
placed, well imagined, and her attitude is very good, hut
the sculpture is faulty, especially about the neck.
At the northeast comer is u tigure of commerce, standing.
His right hand points to the column, with the
caducous in the left, 'ibis is hv far the l>est figure of the
whole, in drawing, attitude, and spirit, and must have
been executed either by a superior artist, or from a model
by a first-rate aculptqy.
At ?thc northwest corner, a figure of winged Victory is
elevated to the summit of the square blo?k that supports
the column. In her right hand she holds a wreath of
laurel over the sarcophagus; in her left, a brunch of palm,
of bronze gilt. The figure is but indifferent, but the
general effect is good.
At each corner is an uru lamp of black, variegated
marble, with a flame of bronze gilt. 'I"he whole nionnmcnt
is placed on a square mass of solid freestone atiout
five feet high, and sixteen feet wide, which is (to be)
surrounded at a small distance by a circular iron railing.
All the figures arc as large as life, and the whole foinis a
very well proportioned pyramidal group of 16 feet base
and dO feet in height. Kxeepting the base, the whole work
is executed in white Carrara marble It is to be regretted
thai the marble blocks of which this monument is composed
are not of such form and dimensions as would
have enabled the architect, in putting it up, to have secured
it against the effects of front. But, in this respect,
two much regard has been paid to cheapness, and, although
every jiossible precaution was used, and all the
blocks were bound together by brass (damps, the joints
have licen opened considerably by the frost; and the evil
is irremediable, because there can lie 110 means of securing
them effectually from the wet. Still, with this
defect, the work is so firmly tied together and secured that
it will probably stand where it now does for some centuries.
To continue the history of this monument to the pres j
ent time, it is neeessarv to state that one year after the |
abive account was written at the time Washington was j
tit ken an?I Ihr nnvr varu burnt t>y tne twitisn womc 01 ^
th<> sculptured figures upon the mono meal were nadir
mutilated -the index finger broken from the symbol of
America ami the hronse jam was stolen from the hand of
History. This was n dastardly act on the part of the
English officers, and was undoubtedly committed without
notice of the object of the work of art, as the war with
the Rtrhary States waa nndertaken, and conducted to a
successful issue, by the i'nlted States alone, although the
ohject of the war -waa of European interest, and of the
empire, and in her lap are gathered various fruits. Around o
the rim of tile medal in the classic wreath of laurel, ami c
within this are the word*, in Koiuau letters, United Stater J
Agricultural Society, 1852. The reverse side is ornamented j
with a plough, and clusters of the sugar-cane, tobacco, (j
cotton plant, Indian corn and wheat?the national eta- c
pies?encircling the inscription. It is a most beautiful t
tribute to American ingenuity and art. 1

tion, held June 18th, 1858, the vice president in the
chair, tho following resolution* were offered by Col. K.
M. Bull, and unanimously adopted :
Whereas the attempt to crush the administration of
President Buchanan in a fun<Umental issue led to the organization
of the "Pennsylvania Democratic Association,"
which has devoted all its energy in sustaining the I
President of our choice : Therefore,

It was iemoved accordingly, and in July of the following b
year Congress made a second appropriation of #200 for
renewing the inscriptions, and glviug uniformity of color
to the monument, its statues, and other ornaments. The
odious inscription historical of its mutilation is said to j,
have l>een erased at the instairce of President Jackson, t
Tire monument is uow somewhat discolored and diiapi- v

and to tire heroes whose glory it rcuords. j

THE CONGRESS CHAPLAINS.
To ma Kditob or tms Uhios?Damn Sis : 1 oliservc
ii the report given in your paper of this morning, a* to >
he chaplain service at the Capitol the past seasiou, inad
crteut mention i* made that tui* service of the clergy uen
(dictating was reudered "by their request." As (
ccretary of the meeting of clergymen called to respond | _
o ait invltatioii riven bv both houses of Coutrress. allow I ~t
neto state the facta which led to the present arrange- < J
ueut for tke chaplaincy of Congress.
During the winter of 1855-'#, when for three months i
he House was unable to agree upou a choice of offi-jis, .
uvitutions were sent by the Clerk of the House from day I
u ilay to individual clergymen requesting tlieir kind offi- i
>*s to officiate at the opening of the House. When, after- | 01
ranis, the House waa organised, and the question of ap- , '
lointiug a ehaplain came up, the suggestion was made 1 m
liat the then existing plan lie substituted. Objection ! m
i-as made that the clergymen of the city might be una- J tu
ile or unwilling to perfbnu this service ; and that reinuicration
would be expected. A chaplain was thereupon wl
hosen for the sessiou.
On the assembling of Congress in the winter of 1856- *"
7 several clergymen, previously 'invited to the House,
( presenting eight different deuoiuinatious, sent a paper to _
Kith houses proffering their services unreruunerated ; p-i
rhich proffer was based purely on the idea that the oh- ' J
action to an invitation should be removed. This paper, j r<>:
iresented in the Kenate by the present Hon. Secretary of Is
he Navy, was withheld at the request of the signers unil
their chaplain for the session was chosen, lest it should on
iave the least shadow of officii msness on their part. ti>
At the opening of the session of 1857-'8, both houses (
>f Congress spontaneously passed resolutions inviting the
lergymen of Washington to officiate as their chaplain. le
the clergymen of every denomination iu the city and d"
>istrict were culled together in a public meeting, when ?''
>ctween thirty and forty assembled. Their secretary was
lirected to seud to the proper officers the names of all
lergymen then present or who should afterwards proffer
o alternate in gratuitous service at the Capitol. These
tames were sent us received by the secretary, some being 'v:
[iveu even as late as the month of May. For conveni- s,,
nee, the clerk of the House and the secretary of the Vi
Senate arranged the names reported to them in alpha- 111
ictical order, and sent the list with the day and where co
ervice would be expected from them, to each clergyman _
lamed -1
As was to be expected, various difficulties have lieen J
inticipated, and from time to time suggested, as to the 1 n?
iractical working of this plan for supplying an unre- 2'
nuncrated Chaplain service. The public will, of course, 01
ndge whether their representatives liave acted wisely in ?
vhat they liava done. As to the clergymen concerned, *<

heck, the eye be ever so sparkling, the teeth be thane of pearl, if tho

arab and dry, or, worse still, If sprinkled with gray, Nature will kne
lore than half her charms. Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative, if nsed
