Young Again.
An old man sits on ;t high-backed chair
Before an open door,
While the sun of a summer afternoon
Falls hot across the floor.
And the drowsy elkk of an ancient clock
Has notched the hour of four.
A breeze blows in and a breeze blows out
From the scented summer air,
And it flutters now on his wrinkled brow,
And now it lifts his hair,
And the leaded lid of his eye droops down,
And he sleeps in his high-hacked chair.
The old man sleeps, and the old man dreams,
His head drops on his breast.
His hands relax their feeble hold,
And fall to his lap in rest.
The old man sleeps, and in sleep he dreams,
And in dreams again is blest.
The years unroll their fearful scroll;
He is a child again,
A mother’s tones are in his ear,
And drift across his brain;
He chases gaudy butterflies .
Far down in the rolling plain.
He plucks the wild rose in the woods,
And gathers eglantine.
And holds the golden buttercups
Beneath his sister’s clun;
And angles in the meadow brook.
With a bent and naked pin. #
"Tie loiters down the grassy lane,
And by the brimming pool.
And a sigh escapes his parted lips,
As he hears the bell for school;
And he wishes it were not nine o’clock
And the mornings never were full.
A mother’s hand is pressed on his head
Her kiss is on his brow—
A summer breeze blows at the door,
With the toss of a leafy bough,
And the hoy is a white haired man again,
And his eves are tear-tilled now.

The port and city of Brunswick hold out com
mercial and maritime advantages superior to those
possessed by any other south of the Chesapeake
Bay. The climate is healthy at all seasons. By an act
of the late Congress, a naval station was establish
ed in this harbor: thereby securing large accessions
to the business and population ot Brunswick.
The Brunswick and Forida Railroad is in steady
progress of construction westward, the whole line
being under contract to Thomasville.

And find no joy in life;

No one my ragged'pants mend—
I really need a xvife!
So heavily the hours do roll,
They almost crush my sickly soul.
My days xvith ill are rife.
My coat is minus most a skirt,
I hain’t no buttons on my shirt—
I wish I had a wife!
I wish, although I wish in vain,
That I was a young man again,

I’d court and kiss and have my fill,
And romp xvith the gals until
I’d find myself a wife.

THE GR/EFENBERG MEDICINES
A RE xvell known and eagerly sought for throughout |
the whole Continent of America.
Never Hi fore their introduction could any series of
popular remedies be found that were equal to any emer
gency, that were always to be relied on, and xvere with
in the reach of the poorest person!
rer Before the Graefenberg Pills could you ob
tain for 25c. a certain remedy for Billions Diseases, Lix‘-
er Complaints, Dyspepsia, Costivesess and Asthma.
Never Brfore this Fever and Ague Remedy, could
anything be found that cured all cases of Chills and
Fever for 50 cents.
Nrver Before the Green Mountain Ointment was
there to be found for 25c, any immediate cure for Burns,
Bruises, Cuts, old Sores, Erysipela and inflammations,
either external or internal-
Never before Marshall’s Uterine Catliolicon
was falling of the Womb and olher Uterine Diseases
found to becurnb e. Now, ten eases out of twelve are
c ured by this Medicine. {/CT If any physician supposes
that this is merely a quack remedy, would reply “that
it is prepared by Dr. Pomeroy, of Utica, a wealthy and
old physician of the allopathic school—that we w ill fur
nish any reputable pbvsician any quantity of it gratui
tously to lest its merits on his patients; and furthermore,
by writing to Dr. Pomeroy, he can he lurnished w ith its
component parts. It is the greatest blessing to the fe
male sex that the science of medicine has discovered in
a century.
INcvcr Before the Graefenberg Dysentary Syrup
was there a certain remedy for Bloody Flux, Dysentery,
diarhcea or cholera; now,all can be cured in a few hours
i\t*?or Before the introduction ol the Children s Pa
nacea, could a mother feel the life of her babe safe for a
day, w hil*? under 5 years of age. Y outhful diseases and
strong medicines carried them off; now. this medicine
cures them, even after the doctor and nurses have pro
nounced their cases hopelesss Price only 50 cents
Never Bepore was any Tonic Bitter so popular as
the Health Bitters, that cost 25 cents. Why should the t ... . . a * __J orif la

Tfee Mormons—The Military Power and Politi
cal Purposes of the Mormons.
Gentlemen: From a military order re
cently published in your paper, I infer
that a division of the United States army
is to move into Utah. This news will be
bailed with joy by thousands of American
citizens in every State and Territory
of the confederacy, who bax - e suffered
directly or indirectly by the merciless
outrages of the Mormons, committed while
quietly pursuing their toilsome journey
overland to Oregon and California. Eve-
rv indignity lias been offered to emigrants,
every species of property stolen, and every
species of crime has been committed.—
The Federal laws have been trampled in
the dust, Government officials set at de
fiance, menanced, threatened and insulted;
this biniple medicine can, at all times, prevent it?|
N ever Before whs a preparation of Sarsapar.lla so
powerful as that compounded by the Graefenberg Co
Never Before lias the Consumptive’s Balm found I
its equal. Ilow many are there now in tins life and health I
w ho would ere this, have entered death’s dark portal, il
they had not been recommended to use this in preference |
to many nostrums that are loudly vaunted?
Never Before were Piles and kindred diseases cer- |
tain of cure. We have certificates of persons entirely re
lieved, after Dr. Molt and other great physicians had as
serted that nothing but the knife could afford relief.
Never Before could inflamed eyes and weakness of
the sight he i ured for 25 cents. The eye Lotion does it!
Never Before was any book published that contains
as much medical knowledge as the Gaelenberg Manuel of

Shelbyville, (Tenn.,) Oct. 16, 1856.
Messrs. Perrv Davis ami .Son: Sirs—Gratiiu.le to you,
and du’y to suffering humanity, require that 1 should
make known the benefit 1 have derived from your
truly valuable Pain Killer; and if by seeing tins, any
sufferer will be induced to give it a trial and be healed,
I shall be compensated a thousand fold
In June, 1855, nfier a protracted illness of several
months, 1 was severely altaekeo with droxvsness, xer-
tago. dimness of sight, and loss of appetite, aceompamed
by fex’er, d.fiiculiy of breathing,^te. My physician
pronounced me ease pn 'iiinonin bordering on the first
stage of. on.-itmption; and after exhausting his skill de
clared postively that I had the consumption, that lie
could do nothing for me, that I must die. Huxvever,
he advised me to use as the best thing I could dv,
which ! did, with no effect. 1 then made use of
which proved inefficient. , .
By this time my symptoms xvere pain in the head
morning evening, and during the night, darting
pains through the chest, burning in the palms
of l lie hands, quick pulse, night sxvents, difficulty ol
breadline, etc., xvlien fortunately 1 got hold ot the
“People's Phamplet,” in which I saw the cases ot
Messrs Bima, l one, and others, which induced me
try Perry Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer, and strange a«
it may appear, I derived more benefit from the use o
one twenty-five cent bottle than 1 had done from all
other medicines I have used four hollies or the Pain
Killer, and am heartv and enjoy better health than 1
have heretofore done for a number of years.
I remain yours,
GUSTAVUS A- CELOY

good qualities are being appreciated. Lately we have
a great demand for the article, and confieently anticipate

Davis Pain Kiler is a valuable antidote to the poison
of Centipedes, Scorpions, Hornets and the like. 1 have
been tw ice stung by Scorpions, and in both cases eased

All this did not satisfy them, but they

Noxv, as evidence of their inveterate
hatred to Americans and everything per
taining to America, (and these sentiments
are constantly taught and preached,) I
will cite as folloxvs:
A Ct entile shall not board in my family,
and if one of my houses xvas rented to
Gentile, after the time had expired I xvould
burn it down! That’s the doctrine.—
Jededah il/. Grant.
If a Gentile were boarding in my family,
and 1 should boxv down to pray, and the
Gentile or heathen should hesitate, I would
say to him, bow down, you devil! That
is the doctrine, and I know it; and any
ntan who shall oppose it shall be destroy
ed.—Ilebcr C. Kimball.
Their religious tenets maybe inferred
from the following
I believe in marrying brothers and sis
ters; I believe in the pre-existence of man,
that Adam and Eve are the parents ot all
men, spiritually and phisically; that all the
saints of this dispensation will be resurrec
ted by Joseph Smith, Jr. If I am ever
saved, I expect to be saved by and through
the atonement of Joseph Smith!—Brigham
Young.
Were my daughter to marry a Gentile,
I would ^tve her in this kingdom, namely,
cut her throat, from ear to ear.—Brigham
Young.
Their advocacy of internal improve
ments may be inferred from the follow
ing;
Mr. Lee, who piloted the Government
troops through on that route (south side of
Great Salt Lake) last Spring, (lSt>4) wish
ed to publish a book—a guide of the route
—but xvas prex-ailed on not to do it, as the
Presidency there (Carson Valley) did not

Brigham Young.
The above quotations are taken from a
mass of information collected 1854-’5o,
during nearly a year’s stay in Utah, all of
which came under my personal observation,
and was noted at the time it was spoken.—
1 haveKeen thus particular in noticing these
quotations, that the public may know
upon what is based the conclusions that fol
low.
The Mormon priesthood isa consolidated
system of police, compounded from the old
Aaronatic’ Levi teal, Melchisedeck priest
hoods, and is known by the name of “The
Church of the Latter Day Saints of Jesus
Christ.” Brigham Young is the Prophet,
Priest and King of the Saints. His will is
law, he is the viceregent of God, deriving
authority directly from Him, xvhich is ab
solute whenever he says “thus saith the
Lord.” Brigham stands upon the should
ers of his two councillors, they stand upon
the shoulders of the the other ten apostles;
theystand upon the shoulders of the high
priests; they stand upon the shoulders of the
bishops;they stand upon the shoulders of the
captains of fifties and seventies; they stand
upon the shoulders of elders; they stand
upon the shoulders of the lay members of
the church; they stand upon the shoulders
of the laboring masses who till the soil
which supports the pile. From his tower
ing height Brigham issues forth his edicts
to the people with the scorpion lash of his
serpent tongue he lashes every one into
silence. “ No one was ever known to dis
sent from his will." The entire faternity
is hound together by oaths the most solemn
to support the church, and nothing but the
church, and every man woman and child is
constituted a police officer, always on duty,
and required to report to the head when
ever anything of sufficient interest occurs
to justify it. From this you will not fail to
perceive that the church/o/vn is but a close
ly compacted system of police, having i
head from xx-liichit derives all power, and a
body forming a nuclues around which are
gathering the ignorant, the superstitious,
the bigot, the outlaw, and the disaffected
of all countries in the world who are takin
refuge, as they suppose, under the wings
of the angel of the last dispensation. How
ever deluded the great mass of their fol-
loxvers may be, the leaders are not deluded,
but are knaves from choice, willfully mis
leading the masses for the purpose of ob
taining and wielding power, boldly predict
ing the overthrow of the Republic, when
they will resume the reins of goverement,
and proclaim Mormonism to the benighted
nations of the world.
Every species of information is studious
ly kept from the people, except their own
doctrines, which are so ingenious and fas
cinating that they bewilder rather than en
lighten, till the feeble mind becomes lost in
the mazes of metaphysical theories, and,
looking around for some sure anchor of
safety, despairing falls prostrate at the feet
of the monster, imploring him, in the lan
guage of scripture, “I believe; help thou
my belief.”
The endearing appellation of “brother
and sister” is applied to all classes indis
criminately, which, with the plurality wife
system, and the marrage of blood sisters,
breaks us and obliterates every vestige of
the family relation.”
One-tenth of all property, and one-tenth
of all products, are demanded as tithing;”
and then, not only the man, but bis wives
and children, and his property entire, are
consecrated to the Church. All are at the
disposal of Brigham.
The entire male population of the State
are enrolled in the militia, who are under
weekly (some daily) military drill, every
one of whom, from the boy of twelve to the
man of eighty years is required to keep on
hand one hundred rounds of cartridges, one
gun or rifle, oue or more pistols, swords, sa-
bares, knives, &c., all he ean obtain; and
then in the event of war, the women and
children are to fight with whatever wea
pon they <^n eommand. Now, xvlien we
consider their location, a thousand miles
inland on ex*ery side, in the mountain fast
nesses of the 'continent, their numbers,
which, according to the Chief Justice
Drummond, are one hundred thousand in
the Terrritory, and two hundred thousand
in surrouuding States and Territories; their
appliances of war; their secret* agents in
every nook and corner of the Republic;
their emissaries among every Indian tribe
on the continent, teaching them “mechan
ic arts and military tactics,” they amount
to something more than -ve have been ac
customed to regard them. They have set
tlements on the Salmon River, Oregon
Territory, and on Lewis Rix’er, near Pu
get Sound, in Washington Territory, and
in Carson valley and San Bardinai Califor
nia. They instigated the Indians to revolt
in Oregon and Washington Territories in
the late xvar, and were, in my judgment,
the cause that created the necessity for the
proclamation of martial law by Governor
Stevens: and xvlien the Governor forward
ed a Supply train of goods up to and for
Nez Perees in Payment of debts contract
ed with them when returning from treat
ing xvith the Black feet or Croxvs, in the
Winter of 1855-6, on the arrival of the
train at Col. Craig’s, the Indian agency
for the Nez Perees. they had been induced
to favor Kom-in-kun, the Yakima war
chief, refused to receive the goods either in
payment of debts or as presents, and order-,
ed all the whites to leave tlieir country.
Col. Craig, the Indian Agent, was retain
ed in case of need; the train returned hasti
ly to the Dalles; but other whites among
the Nez Perees, instead of coming to the
Dalles and claiming the protection of the
United States Army, went through the
country of the war Indians to the Mormon
settlement, on Salmon River, for protection!
In Col. Shaw’s last battle with the
Indians in the Grand Ronde, among
the camp equipage of the enemy, he cap
tured amunition with Mormon labels on
them.
Now, permit me to conduct you to San
Francisco, Cal., on the ever memorable
ISth day of August, 1856, and behold
the streets of that ill-fated city thronged
xvith men and arms. The Federal Con
stitution has been up-heaved, the laws over-
throxvn, and the “Committee Vigilantes”
have instituted a reign of terroi. The
Committee lays down into its power and
calls out its adherents to celebrate its re
tirement to law and order. The streets
are decorated and hung with flags; but,
alas! the star-spangled flag of the free was
set aside! “The all-seeing eye over the
cresent,” on which was inscribed -‘Vigilan
tes,’ occupied the foreground, with a United
States flag on either side. Immediate
ly in the rear of these, also hung the Mor-
five-
mon emblem
badges) of “be
worn by them as military
lives and bees;” in the rear
of these, between other United States flags,
was the “Lone Star” on blue ground, sur
rounded by a constellation. These are
the prominent ensigns of Mormonism, ex
cept the secret signs of the priesthood,
which are xvorn on under garments, and
are of course invisible. No one knew the
but
those who recognise Brigham as
assign
ting aside of the United States flag and the
display of ensigns of Mormonism.
Throughout the States and Territories,at
various and convenient localities, the
Mormons have what an termed “Stakes 0
ia Zion,” and each is governed by a
presidency. It may not be known to
many that there is a stake in the city of
New York, whose president is editor of a
paper called The Mormon; at Council
Bluffs is another stake and another paper;
at Independence another stake; at St.
Louis, Ac. Their agents and spies are in
every city in the Union, adapting them-
selves to surrounding circumstances, luring
the ignorant and unsuspecting into the
meshes; secretly denouncing individuals
whom they suspect capable of informing
against them; pursuing their victims with
a pertinacity that overcomes all obstacles,
and their agent in Congress keeps them con
stantly advised of the policy and aims of
the policeman cries “tickets here”—you
press up: “Where’s your ticket?” “Have
none; but I am all the way from America
let me pass!” “Pass on sir !” You fell
into the current that flows on in increasing
volume toward the roception rooms of the
Hall. Though an hour is yet to pass be
fore service begins, the lower floor is filled,
the dress circle is densely crowded; so
betake yourself to the second gallery, and
feel grateful that you get a frdnt seat.
All has the bustling air of a concert room.
No one takes his bat off, and the buzz of
hundreds of voices makes it difficult for
you to feel that you have come for the pur
pose of worship. But the Hall is filled to
its utmost capacity—in all the vacant
spaces, hundreds stand patiently.
Now you see toward the stage a move
ment and a general taking off of hats.
The preacher is making his way toward
the pulpit. A young man—only twenty-
two—with a pale hut full face, benignant
yet serious, enters and bows down over
the Bible in prayer. Everything is silent
as the grave. He rises from his knees
and thousand of hymn hooks over the vast
assembly are opened. “Let us sing the
30th hymn of the Watts’ Collection’ —
“Come ye that love the Lord,” is spoken
in a clear, full, silvery voice—and vou
hax’e heard the voice of the “modern
Whitfield,” as he is now termed. His
prayer is fervent; simple, humble. He
prays most powerfully for the ungodly and
most touchingly for grace to aid the speaker
in his position of fearful responsibility.
But how can he fail of fervor after the
singing of the beautiful hymn by ten thous
and persons, for all sing, and the music is
purely vocal.
Another hymn is 6ung. “Grace,’ tis a
charming sound,” after the reading of the
lesson, which is the 84tli psalm. In read*
ing the lesson, the speaker makes a tew
simple, and on the whole, appropriate com
ments, but listen to the voice and observe
the well chosen gesture. His voice fills
the house, and though youaic seated near
the furthest end of the hall, every word is
distinctly heard. His prayers and com
ments indicate his general style of speech.
His sentences are simple. His prayer
opened thus: “O Lord, we want a blessing
this morning.” His opening comment was,
“In David’s time there was but one taber
nacle. But now,
‘Everyxvliere may grace be found t
And every spot of earth is consecrated ground.’
For where two or three are met together,”
ect. You are not only satisfied that you
will hear the sermon, but also the text.
It is the 8th verse of the 106th Psalm.
“Nevertheless he saved them for his
name’s sake.”—General Government.—
They are in the frontier post-offices either
by appointment as postmasters or as clerks,
and have the opportunity of supervising
the transit and distribution of all mail mat
ter; and it may not be improbable that to
this course may be traced the loss of so
many letters going to and coming from the
Pacific Territories.
Now in view of the facts herein set
forth, and the assumption by Chief-Justice
Drummond that they are a hundred thous
and strong in Utah and two hundred thous
and spies and emissaries in adjoining States
and Territories, with every facility for ob
taining and transmitting information; and
allied to a savage Indian horde of three hund
red thousand more, who are, in their hands,
the “battle-axe of the Lord,” to be wielded
against the Gentiles; added to a thousand
miles of land travel, prairie and mountain
with natural means at hand to throxv every
obstacle in the way of an army, by running
off tlieir animals, cutting off small parties,
poisoning the springs of water, and block
ading the canons and mountain passes; I
repeat, in view of all these facts staring
ns boldly in the face, they form an obstacle
to the peaceful settlement of the interior
of the country of no mean character, and
which should be promptly met by the Gen
eral Government. In my judgement the
only way to meet the necessity of the case
is to appoint a military Governor for the
Territory, with discretionary power to
place the xvhole Territory under martial
law, backed by a military force of at least
5,000 men, amply equipped with munitions
of war and a year’s supply of prox’isions;
then station the army at three several
points in the Territory, not to fight the
people, but to defend them. By proclama
tion now call on all true citizens of the
United States to come out and enroll
themselves under the flag of the Republic;
xvarning all hostile thereto to leave the
Territory under penalty of capture -trial
and execution by martial law. This, in
myjudgmenf, will be the easiest, cheap
est, and safest mode of reaching and
remedying the evil. The idea that if
left to themselves they will break up and
disband by internal dissensions is futile
and absurd.
They have a solid nucleus of one hund
red thousand strong, with 200,000 spies
and emisaries scattered over the whole
country, and a savage ally of three hundred
thousand to do their bidding. And what
want they morel A State Government!
No; they already have that which to them
is far better, namely, a wilful perversion
of the democratic principle of self-govern
ment declared in the Kansas-Nebraska
hill, “to regulate their own institutions in
their own way.” This leaves them in a tar
better condition to propagate tlieir treasona
ble designs than if they were existing
under the form of State Government. As
there is no power in the Constitution to
force them into the Lnion, (God forbid they
should ever come in!) they may always
remain a Territory of the United States,
recognizing the Federal laws merely as a
form, xvhile the power de facto remains
absolute, and the head of the Church
becomes the head of the State.
Something ought—something should he
done. Let the Government look well to it
that its army be sufficient, amply supplied
with munitions of war and provisions for
at least one year, as the task it is about
to assume is no child’s play.. More anon.
Very respectfully, VERASTU3.
