The Secretary of the Stale Agricul

Mineral Springs and Death’s Valley of Soul* 1 '
ern Utah.
A correspondent of the New York
Tribune, who is writing up for that
paper sketches of a trip through South
eastern Nevada and Southern Utah,
gives the annexed account of a remark
able country near the Motnolimbo pass
through the Black Rock range of the
mountains of Southern Utah :
THE VALLEY OF DEATH.
While riding slowly ahead with Nick
and our Indian guide, my attention was
attracted to a small valley in the gorge
of the mountains. A light, bluish look
ing vapor was seen ascending from it
in little eddying whirlpools and jets of
mist. This vapor proceeded from a
large number of hot springs. The val
ley was not particularly inviting, but
as the men and animals were tired, I
thought we would camp in it for the.
night. The guide, however, assured
me that it was certain death to breathe
the deadly vapor3. We went into
camp elsewhere, but the next morning
the whole party started slowly down
the slope toward the valley, feeling as
well as smelling our way cautiously.—
The doctor had provided himself with
with a couple of Indian dogs, and sev
eral live rabbits for the purpose of
making experiments. After scrambling
down some two hundred yards, the
doctor, who was in advance, detected
an absence of oxygen in the air by the
sudden change of temperature and the
increased difficulty he experienced in
respiration. A nauseous, suffocating
smell was also perceptible every time
the wind blew towards us. The val
ley was about a quarter of a mile in
circumference and oval in shape. Not
even a blade #f grass, or a single sage
bush, or any living thing was to be
seen within it; but a ghastly human
skeleton, perfectly white, lay beside
one of the nearest springs. Scattered
around were the skeletons of buffaloes,
deer and otner wild animals. The
bottom of tho valley’ appered to be a
hard, sandy soil, dry and craked, as if
by heat, in various places. One of the
Indian dogs was. fastened to the end of
a lariat and lowered down, while some
of the party, watches in hand, observed
the effect. In fourteen seconds the
dog fell down motionless, and in three
minutes was dead. The other dog,
which now trotted down to his com
panion, was motionless in twelve sec
onds, and lived only five minutes. A
rabbit thrown in died in a minute and
a half, and a second lived only a min
ute and twenty seconds. Our guide
informed us that the existence of the
valley had been kno.vn to h)3 tribe for
sevetal years. Two of their braves

No young lady can be too well in

position in society she occupies, she
needs a practical knowledge of house

such circumstances that it will not be
necessary for her to perform much do
mestic labor ; but on this account she
needs no less knowledge than ifshe was
obliged to preside personally over the !

ward Thrstleton, an English gentle
men, has discovered beyond doubt the
realauthor of the famous letters of Jun
ius. Mr. Thistlelon called to his as
sistance Mr. Charles Cabot, an expert
in hand-writing, and expects to prove
incontestably that the letters of Junius
to his publisher, Mr. Woodfall, were
written by Mr. Geo. Grenville, the rep
uted author of the American Stamp
act. Fac similes of the acknowledged
letters ol Mr. Grenville, and of the let
ters of Junius, will shortly be made
public. Mr. Grenville was a brother
of Richard Grenville, afterwards Earl
Temple, and served in Parliament
from 1741 until his death in 1770. In
1763 he became Prime Minister, and
was always regarded as the ablest
man of business then in the House of
Commons.

The springs in the valley generate such j the reaction culminates, and while yet
a large volume of carbonic acid gas as
to completely poison the whole sur
rounding atmosphere. We had no op
portunity of obtaining the water for
subsequent chemical examination. As
the place is entirely out of the way of
overland emigration, and is anything
but inviting, there is not much danger
that it will ever be frequented by
bands of pioneers or pleasure parties.
We named this cannon on our field

were erecting a stone pyramid on a

Official from Paraguay.
Gen. McMahon, late Minister to Par
aguay, is in Washington on business
with the State Department. His pro
ceedings as Minister are approved on
the ground that they show his course
was marked by commtndable diligence,
discretion, dignity and firmness. The
General confirms the reports of the al
lies firing upon his parly with the Par
aguayan flag of truce, and their pre
vention ol dispatches from and to his
Government, with the exception of that
for his recall from Paraguay, which
was permitted to be promptly forward
ed to him. He thinks the present po
sition of Lopez is stronger than hereto
fore, and the at.nouncement by the al
lies of the war being ended is simply a
pretext for withdrawing the invading
troops.
The Paraguayans conduct their war
without money ; make their own can
non and powder and other hostile ap
pliances ; \\ hile the women plant and
gather the crops. The Uruguayans
scarcely contributed a regiment, the
Argentine Confederation four or five
thousand, and the Brazilian twenty-two
or twenty-four thousand more.
The Paraguayan legion now guard
ing or in possession of Asuncion, num
bers about two thousand men. It is
composed in a small part ol deserters
to the allies, with Paraguayan prisoners
of war who have been compelled to
enter the service, together with an
equal number of Brazilians. The pro
visional government is regarded as in
sufficient by all who are familiar with
its history and is not promising stability.
Lopez is represented by Gen. Mc
Mahon to be possessed of fine adminis
trative abilities, and not more cruel in
war than the most complaining of the
allied Generals. The devotion of the
people to their chief is without exam
ple. They are not only obedient, but
are always ready to incur any risk or
make any sacrifice which may be de
manded by him. Lopez contemplates
the restoration of prosperity to his
country by emigrants from the United
Slates, to whom he will offer induce
ments to settle there by tbe grant of
lands.
