United States Circuit Court.— Judge Campbell and Ale Cal eh.— 1 li is court on opening yesterday was soon tilled to overflowing with a crowd eager to hear the ease of Gen. Wm. Walker, Col. Frank Anderson and others, charged with violat ing the neutrality laws of the United States, in having, on the 10th November last, fitted out an armed expedition to invade the territory of Nicaragua and Costa liiea, with which the United States is at peace. The following are the names of the jurors finally selected: A Laforest, J. W. Carroll, W. T. Hepp, M. O. H. Norton, A. B. James, W. G. Betterton, J. J. Person, II. L. Goodrich, A. Q Kennett, R. B. Post, H. Bidwell, J. E. Vosc. The entire pannel was exhausted, and the num ber of challenges allowed to tiie prosecu tion had been all exercised .before a jury could be obtained. Judge Campbell then proceeded to de liver his charge to the Grand Jury, as follows. Judge Campbbll’sCharge. Gentlemen of the Grand Jury: It is a portion of the duty of this court, upon the another to enlist as a soldier, marine, or cmpannelling of a grand jury, to instruct seaman, or to go beyond the United States them concerning the obligations they incur to do so, to serve against a state, people, on assuming to perform the duties of that colony, or sovereign, with whom the United important office. States are at peace. Nor can -they within The Constitution of the United States j, our ports, fit out or arm, or attempt or declares “That no person shall be held to f procure, or be concerned in the fitting, ' furnishing, arming of any ship or vessel with the intent that she should be employ ed to cruise or commit hostilities upon a power or people with whom the United States are at peace. Therefore the con tracts by which a citizen or inhabitant within the United States is obliged to enter into a foreign service which involves him in the commission of acts of hostility against a friendly power, are not merely void as civil contracts, but they involve both parties in the guilt of violating the Neutrality haws, and subject them to fine and imprisonment. But the act does not stop at the prohibi tion of enlistsments within the United States, nor of the armamentof vessels here to he employed to carry on hostilities, but it prohibits the beginning here of every military expedition or enterprise; or the setting of one on foot, or the collection or preparation of the means necessary to carry on one front the United States against a friendly power or people. Wc have said that the Neutrality Laws do not provide a punishment for every violation of neutral obligations. Thus thev have j.iothtr Male. The act denounces such , ten was begun by any airangeiiic: cases of misconduct on the part of the citi- the men within the United States, or by’ zeus and inhabitants of the United States only as might jeopard the pacific relations of the United States, or interfere with the administration of their foreign affairs. A large portion of its provisions were first adopted in 1794, during the administration of Washington. In the succeeding admin istration that statute was extended, and became a part of the permanent law of the country. In 1^17 and 1818, upon the application of Presidents Madison and Mon roe, the acts were revised, enlarged, and reenacted , and have remained as a part of the law of the land from that time to the present moment. I know of no act upon the statute bonk that comes recommended by a more venerable sanction. Its design is magnanimous and honorable. It in effect declares that justice is the standing policy’ of the United States; and it in capacitates the functionaries of the govern ment, as well as the citizen, under the influence of any transient impulse, or temporary’ expediency to adopt any other law than that of justice in our intercourse with belligerent nations, or in respect of friendly’ states. Its provisions are carefully arranged and adjusted to protect foreign nations, colonies, states, and peoples from hostilities men aced or carried on from the territories or jurisdiction of the United States, either under the flag of another nation, or by the citizens or inhabitants of the United States, for their own profit or to gratify their own appetites or ambition. No citizen of the United States, within its territory or jurisdiction, can accept and exercise a commission, or enlist as a sol dier. marine or a seaman; or engage answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indict- memt ofthe grand jury', except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger,” nor shall any “be deprived of life, liberty or property without due course of law.” These clauses of the constitution explain the origin of your body as a part ofthe judicial establishment of the United States, and the magnitude of the functions you perform in its administra tion. The constitution endows Congress with the power to define the acts which shall be crimes against the United States under their Constitution, and to affix tiicir ap propriate punishment, as a penalty for their commission: and thus to secure the regular and efficient administration of their laws. That administration is concerned with all those interests which relate, to the exis tence and preservation of the Constitution ofthe Union, with all the relations and intercourse which are maintained or car ried on with foreign nations, whether of peace or of war; with their commerce, their preparations made there, then the act of Congress has been violated by all who are members of the expedition and all who in the United States have knowingly and wilfully contributed to its preparations We shall now pass to the consideration of the acts for the suppression ofthe slave trade. This part of the charge to the jury re lates entirely to the laws of the slave trade, and has nothing to do with the case of Gen. Walker.

The administration is concerned with the most important of the interna! relations and intercourse of the States—with commerce, postal communi cation, currency, navigation, the naturali zation of aliens, and the decl iration of right and settlement of controversies through courts of justice. The catalogue of crimes against the United States embraces among others cases of treason, piracy, murder, mutiny and revolt on the high seas, cases of embez zlement and frauds upon the public revenue, cases of the robbing of and theft from the public mails, cases of bribery, perjury’, extortion, and resistance in the judicial administration. r l he object of the laws is to afford safeguards to life, liberty and property whenever they may come under the constitutional jurisdiction of the federal government, and to secure the federal government in the full and unobstructed possession of all its faculties 1 belligerent in arms and munitions of war, or from transporting his troops or munitions on private vessels. Nor have they pro hibited individual citizens from leaving the United States, separately and without con cert, or contract, to go to a seat of war, and thereto enlist. Those cases,perhaps, were supposed to be unimportant in any national point of view. But the furnishing of armed vessels or the equipment of pub lic ships stands on other considerations; From the New York Tin.es. Horniest Fanaiirism—hotter front a Herman Vi oman lo tier Parents In .\«r Jersey. To.- following letter from a Mormon woman in Salt Lake City, addressed to her parents in Now Jersey, has been handed us for publication. It was written on the eve of departure from Sait Lake City for the Southern settlements, and is cu riously descriptive of the writer's unbounded faith in Monnonisin aud her natural regrets at leaving her home: Great Salt Lake City, May, 1858. My Dear Father and Mother: 1 feel that 1 must write you another letter before I leave my home, as I do not know when or where 1 may get anoth er opportunity of writing to you. I suppose that you liave heard by this time, through your papers, that we are leaving cur beautiful valley—logo, we know not whither. \\ hen first my beloved husband announced to me that it was decided that wc should leave, I felt a pang at my heart. I looked out of my little dower garden, the work of our own bauds, aud then around rue, inside my little cottage, on the tew little comforts which we had ac-cumulr.tt d through hard labor; then I saunder.d into the little room which I had prepared for your recep tion this season. I must abandon them all, aud the hope of meeting father and mother and the rest of the family. And last, hut not least, I look ed upon our little ones, aud my grief kuew no bounds. In my rebellious heart i felt to say, I cannot expose my little ones to the trials of a wan dering life, and alt, horror! perhaps tiie scalping- knife of the Indians, for we know that the soldiers are bribing them. I fancy I can hear you both say, “Is not Mormonism worth all these sacrilices, and even our lives'” Yes, my d> ar father and mother it is. But you also know how very fond of home I am, and my love for my husband and chiidien knows no bounds ; and I felt that to see those dear ones suffering again, as 1 did before we Had a home, was more than my strength could bear; but all this was the struggle of a few hours only When I began to reflect upon my conduct, I felt truly ashamed of my weakness, llow often hail I, in bearing my testimony, said that I was willing to make any sacrifice fur the work of the Lord, and when He was going to put me to the test, “should I turn like a coward aud say, “I can not do it!” And then my rebellious heart would turn again and say, “Is it not your own house and laud! did you not toil hard enough to get it! did you not sell all your trinklets, clothing—every thing, in fact, that you possessed, to get the adobes to build it aud why should you give it up to a band of robbers ; or, in other words, to President Buchanan's t roops, which are the same?" 1’ it then I struggled and conquered. I then made up my mind if I had to die it should be in the path of duty; and when my husband returned in the evening, I could talk calmly to him of prepar ations forour departure. I next thought that as I was now so strong, it was my duty to go and see Ellen and James; but what was my surprise, ou reach ing their house, to find them all ready to start, and when I asked Ellen if she did not feel a liltle sad at leaving her home, (for you know that she bad one of the most comfortable in the valley.) she said, with a smile, “These things are not ours ; they are the Lord’s, and if he requires tne to ieave them, I am ready.” I am sure you will think her a most noble woman, as I do; * * * Where we were going I know not; hut this I do know, that if it were not for our own ultimate good, we should not bo permitted to leave these valleys. Go where you will yon will see the Saints ma king cheerful preparations for their departure, and not a word of comfort on their lips for their neigh bors ; notwithstanding which, a keen observer might perceive a tear glistening in the eye of some of the stoutest among us. We have enough to eat, and for that we are thankful. Our clothing is nearly all worn out, and it is not possible to buy any more here, If we had heeded the counsel of Brother Brigham a littie sooner, we should now- have had an abundance of clothing; but we are like children ; we have to learn by experience.

The United Stales in assuming their rank among nations became subject to tbe law of.natiins. Conformably to that law, and to secure tbe advantages of commerce and the blessings of peaceful and profita ble intercourse with other natious they have made treaties of amity, pledging their citizens to tbe observance of tbe obliga tion to peace and amity they contain. These treaties have the form oflaw and bind the public faitli. They affect the individual conscience as firmly as an act of Congress—or an act of the State Legis lature passed in conformity with the con stitution, and pledging the public faith. The treaty is made in the name of all. and in behalf of all, by tbe constitutional authority, and no citizen can deny or evade its stipulations, or break tbe pledges it contains. The Government of the U nion is alone invested with the power to repeal a treaty or to dissolve the obligation of its citizens to maintain its conveuants invio late; and the government itself would not be sustained in doing so except upon lawful considerations, involving no breach of tbe national faith. It cannot encourage any of its citizens to disregard tbe conditions of a treaty, or connive or wink at violations of tbe spirit of the treaty while it pretends to maintain St. Fortunately, the executive department of this government has at all times been filled by stalesmen whose acts carried the impress of their own personal honor and the faith of the United States remains unstained by any measure of falsehood or injustice in respect to any foreign nation The Neutrality laws of the United States are designed to compel their citizens and others, who enjoy their protection or hospi tality, to observe the law of nations. The act of lsl8, contains, in six sec tions, the restrictions which the Uni ted States have imposed, and obedience to which they have secured by tbe enact ment of such penalties as were thought to be adequate for that object. -The act does not include all tbe obligations which public law requires the citizens of one state to observe to the citizens aud govenneut of liire, command, counsel, or conspiracy, and be who by showing and express liking, approbation or assent to an illegal enter prise does aid and abet a party to com mit it.” We quote tbe language ofthe act of 1 SIS to exhibit its broad and compre hensive import and the sternness of its rebuke to all the transactions we have allu ded to. “If any person shall, within the territory or jurisdiction of the United States begin or set on foot, or provide or prepare tlic means for any military expedition or enter prise, to he carried on thence against the territory or dominions of any state, colony, district or people with whom the United States are at peace; every person so offen ding shall be deemed guilty o( a high mis demeanor.” The terms of this act do not require that the expedition or enter],rise shall be com pleted, or that it should ever leave the United States. The language is, ifanv person shall ‘'begin’' or “set on foot.” It does not require that all its arrangements shall be perfect and that it shall be in a condition to leave the United States. The act stigmatizes as unlawful the prepara tions or provisions of the moans to carry on the expedition or enterprise. Thus, whether the.execution of the “enterprise” or the organization of the expedition is “begun” or “set on foot” by the enlistment of recruits or the collection of arms and other munitions of war, or transports, the result is the same. If the object of such preparations is to equip or to fit out an expedition from the United States to carry on hostilities against a friendly state, the acts done in furtherance of that object are illegal, and subject the offender to prosecu tion. Nor is it necessary that the expedi tion should have been exhibited in tbe United States in martial array, or under military organization and discipline. If the members composing the expedition were to leave as passengers on merchant or passenger vessels, without arms or equip ments, to meet upon some coast foreign to the United States, there to be equipped and to be employed against a friendly power, that would fall within the prohibi tion of the statute. Whether the expedition is an illegal military expedition, does not depend upon its employment in the United States but its ultimate destijiatiou and object. If its ultimate destination is a foreign state at peace with the United States, and its object hostile to the government or people of that state, or in opposition to their institutions and laws, and the expedi- my appearance* does not annoy nte much.

Salt Lake City contains al out a third f the population of the Territory, and has a great many fine and sonic elegant build ings, the principal of which are tlicTab- nacle, where all religious meetings are held; the Council House, Endowment House, the Temple, (now in course ol erection,) Court House, Young’s two man sions, nineteen public school-houses, to gether with the costly houses erected for the, elders. The next settlement north is called Sessions, eight miles from Salt Lake City, and contains several line houses. It is situated on the main road; the houses are not compactly built, but extended nearly five miles. The settlement contains tbe richest lands in the Territory. Farmington city comes next, a very- pretty little town, tbe country seat of David county. It contains about 1,000 inhabitants. Fight miles north is Keyvillc, contain ing about the same number of inhabitants —here is some excellent arable land, and a.fine slock range. Weber river is about eight miles further north. On it have been built two forts, called East and West Weber forts con taining about live hundred inhabitants each* They are very pleasntly situated. Ogden City, one of the principle cities of the Territory, is about three miles from W cber. It has many costly buildings. North of Ogden City, about two miles, is a large wellbuilt fort called Brigham’s Fort, lit lias about 7,000 inhabitants. Nor beast of this, three miles, is Ogden Hole—a very pleasant locality, surroun ded on all sides by mountains, with the exception of the entrance. It contains about five hundred inhabitants. North of the “Hole,” twelve miles, is a well-located fort, called Willow Creek Fort. In this vicinity there is fine agri cultural land, and the heaviest crop of wheat in the Territory is raised here. Five miles north is Box Elder, or Brig ham’s city —being about eight miles south of Bear river. This city is very hand somely situated. It is built upon a plain, aaout two hundred feet above the level of Bear river. It is inhabited principally by Danes and Welsh, whose houses ex hibit considerable skill in their construc tion and taste in arrangement. On Bear river there are two small set- lements, and further north two others.— These are in Cache and Malad valley, where the stoc k belonging to the “church” generally were kept- All these cities and forts are to be laid in ashes at the command of the church, and the poor people have given them selves to the work of destruction with all tlic confidence and firmness of faith which ever cliarecterize religious fautacism. f Cor.

Gen. Cass’ letter to Mr. Dallas was as follows. “Department of State. ) “Washington, May 12, 1S58. ) “Sir—The accompanying papers, cop ies, ofthe originals, which have been just received, will make known to you another outrage committed against the rights ofthe United States by a British armed vessel, which calls for the immediate attention of the British Government. I am pursua- ded that if the occurences took place as they arc stated, the conduct of the British officer will be disavowed and condemned. I beg you would communicate to Lord Malemesbury the earnest desire of the President tbattbis practice, which seems to become more prevalent, of detaining and searching American vessels, be dis continued, and that tbe most peremptory orders for that purpose should be given and enforced. Such a measure is called for by important considerations which will readily occur to you.

But all our hopes were dashed, when the intelligence reached us, the next Decem ber, that in consequence of tbe complete prostration of bis nervous system, bis reason bad been dethroned, and the fire of that once brilliant intellect was extinguish ed. He was removed to the Lunatic Asylum near Nashville, where he remain ed until his death. To say his was a brilliant intellect, is but to reiterate tbe opinion of all who knew him. Few men enjoj’ed a more euviable reputation as a man, as a Chris tian, or as a minister. As a man, he was characterized by unflinching adherence to truth and duty; as a Christian he was exemplary—his views thorough and evan gelical; as a minister he was laborious, faithful, and discreet; and as a preacher lie had few equals in style, manner or matter. Who that lias ever beard him will ever forget those tones rich, varied, sonorous and solemn, with which he was wont to utter the most startling and spirit- stirring truth! But he has gone.
