Who crowned it with -a halo bright, .-And lent it half the glow that warms T The heart that hear a fond, good night. " A father's blessing on it rests; . 'Tis sacred with a mother's kiss; It cheers the path f parting guests, ; And fill the be:u-t with happiness, Its soothing influenoe, lingering, fluats Where pillowed in ocent repose, , t'rom quivering chords, as fade the notes .. As lingers perfume soar the rose. " Theugh parting be its constant theme, It holds not parting's keener sting? So short the time 'tis but a dream, And sweet re-union dawn will-bring, ,;Xt yieMs to Heaven's protecting care The loved ne till the morning's-ligh To him whose faith and trust as they, Though black the gloom 'tis still good night.

The Mormon news by this arrival is interesting. ; The following is from the Los Angelos Stan By the arrival in this city, on Tuesday, of Messrs. Ackertnan and Morgan, formerly team iters ia the employ of C A, Perry k, Co., sutlers for the 10th Regiment, we have news from that city to Feb. 6. These gentlemen arrived at the arm j headquarters, at Fort Bridger, on Nov. 19( and leaving the train, they determined to come to California, bat, finding that they could not do 6 direct, they persevered in their determination, and had to endure great privations and hardships. Ob Dec. 24 they reached Great Salt Lake City, where the remained to . Feb. 6, daring which time the j were treated in a kind and hospitable manner. - They cad several interviews with Brig- Lam Tonng, of whom Ihey speak very favorably They state that about Jan. 10 an order was iasoed by the Church that the people should have boxes made to contain abont 150 poands, to pack their grain in them and bring them to the Elders, who woaid take charge of them aad 'cache" them in the mountains.

On passing Mountain Meadows, they saw the bones of the murdered emigrants whitening on the plains. A few of the bodies had been buried but were torn np again by the wild beasts.

MASS MEETINGS TO SCSTAI3T BRIGHAM. Mass meetingshave been held in all the van ous districts and towns of Utah, expressive of the people's entire confidence in Brigham Young, and their approval of bis acts and those of the Territorial Assembly. The principal meeting, called for this purpose, was held at Salt Lake City on the 16th of January. Mayor Smoat presided. At this meeting. Committees reported two addresses, one addressed to the President of the United States and the other to Congress. The Address to the President sets forth the grievances of the Saints, and denies in toto the charges of resistance to law. We make an extract or two from this document, the first being A DECLARATIOS OF GKIETASGBS. ' 1. The Government have not made treaties with the Indiana have not paid us our just dues. 2. They have heretofore appointed officers to preside over our welfare whose very presence, it is widely known, was an outrage on common de cency. 3. We petitioned, through our Assembly, to have good men. for rulers and declared that ucb would have been courteously received and strictly obeyed, but it was plainly stated that if such men were sent here as had been previously, the would be sent back. 4. Because our Legislators dared.to exercise the right of petition, we are denied mail facilities and branded as traitors. 5, The reports of the returning officials about the injustice of our Courts, the breaking np of the Supreme Court and the rebellion of the Mormons, are as base falsehoods as were ever hatched in hell or propagated by the deviU THE SEW OFF1CIAM. ; From current report we learn that you have appointed and intend importing a full set of civil (?) officers for Utah, even down to a Postmaster for Great Salt Lake City, and that they are fully qualified to enjoy the contempt so deservedly bestowed by the Utonians upon their predecessors, we are satisfied beyond doubt. We accept your hint, although it is rather delicate (?) for the occasion, that you have not only denied us a voice in choosing bur rulers, but have appointed men the opposite to those we pe titioned for and have determined to exfoce them upon jtbe citizens of this Territory, by placing twenty five hundred United States troops under their control. Is this the justice that dwells in the breast Of the Chief Magistrate? Have an hundred thousand people no rights? You have tried us, without hearing our defence; passed sentence, not giving us. the benefit of a Ldoubtj and, Sir, we have no assurance that yon will not attempt to carry the remainder , of the sentence into effects Their cry has been, send an army to Utah exterminate the Mormons. ' tBk ARjrr rrrrt agais. We are fully convinced that the presence of an army can only be tolerated when the evil to be dispelled is greater than the evil of their presence. It has been reiterated, again and again, by the troops selected to come here, that they intended to possess our houses, slay our leaders, ravish oar wives and daughters, and pollute the pure valleys of Utah with their fiendish revelries. This they well know would not be tamely borne, and thus they would gain an excuse, under color of which if the had the power, would be enacted those scenes of bloodshed and cruel oppression which have no parallel in history. That army is now upon our borders. Sa tie, "Our mission is peace) we come to establish the laws." - la the business of a-n army peace?

ORES3. - . - The Address to Congress is much longer and not more civiL It is signed by a different set of men, and gives a historical' -view of the progress of the Territory. The following ate extracts: Gentlemen, who are we? Have we the rights of men, or are we dogs? - Why, the meanest serf that cringes beneath the lash of Russian despotism is better, protected in his rights than we are. And who are you? that we must bow in craven servility to such high banded acts of usurpation, despotism and treason? : Have you so soon forgotten the declaration 'ot our fathers, which ought to be indelibly engraven in living characters on the head of every American,' that all men are created equal; that they have the right to life, liberty, and the .. pursuit of happi ness; that, to secure those rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just poweks from the coxscxt of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of those ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish itl'' , j J ASOIEHS OiTHj "Our choice, for Governor, is Brigham Young, and that choice is unanimous. Have nearly a hundred thousand American citizens no right of franchise? Must they be dragooned into servile obeisance to .the . will of their servants? : How and .when were we cut off from having a voice in the selection of those Jwho i re to rule ns? We used to vote in other places; wherej when and by what authority are we disfranchised? Have we not cause for complaint? Vben youreject our Governor, you reject us. 1 on treated with contempt the petition of our Legislature; when you; did that, you treated us with contempt, for they were neither elected by" tump speeches, cabals, nor log rolling; they are the unanimous choice of the people who send them. Shall we tamely submit to such high ban led aggressions upon our rights, and become th e mean, servile dogs of a tyrannical Admiuistraii n?

We approach oil as your equals, and frankly, openly and above board, ask for our rights. We will not tamely submit to be abused, as we have been threatened. Wej approach you not as a clique, a cabal, br J miserable faction; our voice is the united voice, of one hundred thousand Americans Buffering uiider the most unpreceuenled cruelty, outrage and wrongs, and our cry is, give us our" : constituti nal rights; let us CDjoy Jibe rty in peace, and le ; right and jug. tice be administered throughout the land, or we will no longer wear your cursed yoke of uncon stitutional requirements.

They can trust their eternal welfare in the hands of their priests, but hardly dae trust them with aa much as a bushel of potatoes.

Wien we landed in San Francisco, the officers were so much afraid that the tipops would desert that they "went and guarded them themselves, and we left them patroiruig . the docks there. The officers were Yankees, stiff and - starched, and they said, 'Mormonism must be extinguished; yes, this must be done.' Colonel Casy, what do you think about it? He seemed to be a peaceable kind of man, and said he could not tell what would have to be done. The Colonel was then ..asked If he fostered the idea of going to an innocent people and exter minaUng men, women and children? He said, 'I do not like it, it is contrary to my feelings, bat the Government of the United States have taken the thing in hand, and we therefore are compelled to carry out their plans. V v.

DKPARTCREg OF. EIGHT BCKDHED MORMOXS FaOJt THE TERRITORY. ; . The San Francisco Herald has an important rumor:- . ' 1 By a private letter' from U. D. Knight, Esq, who is now at St. Bernardino," we have the fol lowing intelligence:. The mail ' carrier between Salt Lake and California, stated that" Brigham Yoang bad furnished passports IfcLt hundred and forty disappointed Mormons men; women and children who had availed themselves of the opportunity, and5 set oiil from Salt Lake fgr Cali fornia. The messenger passed them about four hundred miles from. Sanr Bernardind. and thev were hurrying through as fast as pbssible. This circumstances gives the lie to Brigham Yoang'i assertion to Colonel Alexendet, when he forwarded Mrs. Mogo and her -, child . to the : American camp.; On this occasion Yoang wrote: ; Mrs. Mogo aud her infant are conveyed to your camp, ia accordance with my previously often ex pressed readiness to for ward to yoa such as might wish to .go, and is the 'only resident of that des cription in Utah, as far as I am informed. That so large a number should seize the oppor tunity to'escape, indicates much want and eaffer- ing in Salt Lake City; and the will doubtless be tow followed by numerous others, if the arch rebel will permit them to leave. GENERAL STATISTICS OF OHIO. The Annual Report of the Commissioner of Statistics,! the State of Ohio, recentl publish ed; contains a vast amount of useful and inter esting information. For the following compile' tion we are indebted to the Cleveland Herald. - ' - Animal Products. ; The Commissioner says: - " " The increase of domestic animals has, in the aggregate, beea nearly equal to the increase of population, but has fallen much short of the ra tio by .which the great Staples, torn and hay, have advanced. This indicates the near approach of that period which occurs in every civilized State- when grain id more valuable for the use of man, than for domestic animals. This point may be illustrated by the following comparison between the proportion, of animals in Ohio, Eug- land and f ranee. Taking the same number of inhabitants, there are three horses tn Ohiff'Tor every one in Eng land or in France 4 wo cattle in Ohio for every one in England, and five for ever one in France; five hogs in Ohio for every one in England, and eigni lor every one in ranee. Ohio, in 1855, furnished New. York with 32, 000 cattle; in 1857, she furnished the same mar ket with 50,000 cattle; and Philadelphia with say 15,000, and also sent many to Baltimore. At least 70,000 bead of cattle were sent to these three cities in .1857. The number of live snd dressed hogs exported from the State has increas ed ia the past two or three years at a rapid rate, and yet the numbers packed at Cincinnati have not declined; ' . ; Amount and Value of Animal Produce: ' Ir estimating the prod nee of a State, the raw material,,or capital, must not be confounded witn' the produce which, arises from their use. The annual products of these ' are only those which are capable of being' reproduced, without any diminution of the original stock. That is the principle on which the Commissioner estimates the prod nets. The aggregate value of farm prr ducts is $132,700,000; and -the net profits are $57,300,000, being at the rale of 9 pf cent.- The Commissioner says some very intelligent people think thii it too EighV ' . ; . - . Fuel and Labor. . .' . , -. f Fuel mast always be abundant and cbeap in Ohio; wood abounding in all parts of the State and coal vn the counties east of the Scioto and Coynbogav. . Dividing the State lata sections, and the price of wood varies in it average from $1,60 per cord 'for:HT-f "ibe"cuu"nt seats, the price per cord; varies" from $f b $5 - Wood is highest in the counties through wllcu mala lines of railroad pass; -these roads coBSuming" anna- ally the product of twelve thousand acres of land." Coal ranges from 5 to 12 cents per bushel, and in a few counties it bring 15 cents per bnshei. Iu. almost all parts of the State, coal can be bad ia constant and" abundant supply at a Idss cost than ia the city bf PLilielrLia,Ta alkh' cca- tres'tha tirgesf coaf vtrade' in tie. Union.- ,; Farm labor is uniformly bigh priced ia Ohio, and with the growth; of towns aad mauufactarics,' Our (Dlmt iiitc. labor for agricultural purposes has diminished, so tbat large "farmers were only able to secure their crops by the employment of improved agricultural implements. The average price' for farm labor is $15 per month and board. 1 ,'. JUunvJacturcs. . Correct atatlstiofl relative to manufactures are more difficult to be obtained than any others. The number of steam engines in Ohio is estimated at 3,000 equivalent to forty thousand horse power, which is equal to one hundred and fifteen thousand actual horses, or to the labor of seven hundred thousand men. The saving in steam power over animal power in Ohio, is ten millions per annum. Grist Mills number 2,200; Saw Mills 3.T49; Flaning Mills, 175; and Oil Mills 70. Astabuta has the greatest number of Saw Mills; and that: county has the largest suiS face of timbered land. The manufacture cf Reapers, Mowers, Drills and Threshing Machines probably exceeds that; of an other State. In 1857, there were made by the principal factories, eight thousand machines, at a value of over a million of dollars. The principal manfactories are in Montgomery, Cuyahoga, Stark, Belmont, Clark and Fairfield counties. ' . Iron. - ; ' . The manufacture of iron in thirty counties of the State, has progressed rapidly. In 1857, the value of iron products exceeded seven millions of dollars ia Cincinnati alone, employing fifty thousand persons. The value of iron works now ia the State exceeds that of 185d more than one hundred per cent. : The value of iron products being twent millions of dollars annually. Of this amount labor and skill contribute forty per cent, or eight millions of dollars. Clothing Furniittre Carriages Oil, Soap, Candles Whisky Wine 4c The concentration of the business of manufac lurisg clothing iu Cincinnati probabl exceeds that at an one point in the , United States its value being $7,5B9,600 for 1857. Nine thousand persons are employed, of which seven thousand are women. The value of the manufactured products for clothing in the State, at wholesale, independent of the ordinary mecbauics' shops, is estimated at $10,600,006. " The value of furniture made in Ohio, at whole sale establishments, is estimated, for 1 So 7,. at four millions of dollars. In New Orleans, Su Louis, St. Paul, and" in Lake Superior towns, they dine on Ohio table and sit on Ohio chairs. ; In the State there are one hundred and fifty steam saw mills for ' making' flooring, grooving, sash making and. bouse building. . . . : The number of wagons and carriages made in the State, iai I&57, is eetimated at 15,000, at a value of $1,560,800. j ; . vv ... The value of atearine candles, soap, lard oil and other products, manufactured from animal fat, la estimated at six millions, exclusive of tard used as an article of food. v ; . .Ohio makes annually I went six millions gallons of whisk, valued at $8,000,000. Of ale and beer, one hundred thousand barrels are made, chiefly at Cincinnati, Dayton and Cleveland. The annual manufacture of native wine is from 6x to seven hundred thousand gallons. We have not space to follow out the estimates upon various other manufactures: The . aggregate value of the products of manufactures and mechanic arts, is 1 19,300,000 annually, being an ad vance over 1850 of 90 per cent, and yielding as the profit of labor and .skill $CO,000.000. . Jifining ' . Great as are the coal and iron fields of Great Britain, it may be doubted whether their power exceed those of Ohio. The area of the thirty coal counties of this State is twelve thousand square miles, fully equal to all the coal fields of GreavBritain, and much exceeding all exclu si ve of that country in Western Europe. This colf IjiDg o near the surface, must always be much easier and cheaper worked than the coal beds of England. Coli Whittlesey states that ia all probability there are in the coal region fort strata of coal lying one above the other, intermingled with standstone and limestone. In twenty of these thirty counties iron has also been found. . . .. , - The coal bearing rocks are nearly all found east of the Scioto and between the Lake and the Ohio, t Taking the census of 1850 as correct, the coal trade of Ohio has increased six-fold in seven years.: The'receipta at Cincinnati and Cleve land in 1S57, were 23,510,000 bushels. The coal business in 1857 employed five thousand men. . The production of iron ia Ohio iu 1857, was 106,009 tons of pig metal, valued at $3,180,000, employing 5,300 men and 53 furnaces'. Four of the furnaces use bituminous coal; The Massil lou Company make iron equal to. Scotch pig from stone coal. Tbe celebrated black band iron is found in .Trumbull county, and large quantities are melted at the Mahoning furnaces. The manufacture of pig iron has increased 100 per cent, ia Ohio during the last seven year. The sap port given by the iron interest to the ag. ricaltsral interest is worthy of particular cote.-The furnaces near Portsmouth, support a population of 30,000 people, as shown by actual figures, and . each furnace furnishes a sufficient market for its immediate neigb.borb.oo-l. The Commissioner says! ,..!,. s . . r , ;-. The inerease of iron being attended likewise by a corresponding increasain the manufactures of iron, in the large towns, it follows that nothing eaa be more beneficial to the industrial interests of society than the development of iron mining. . : ; . . . .
