Thirty years ago there lived near Pal myra, Wuyue county, New York, an ob scure individual, whose name has since become familiar to ‘he world. That in dividual was Joseph Smith, the Motmon prophet. A sketch of this person’s life is interesting, not because we find any thing in his character to admire, but be cause it presents to our rltw the origin of Mormonism—one of the most extrava gant humbugs that the world has ever itnessed The idea of anew religion or iginating in a person possessing less than ordinaty abilities, and rapidly increasing in number till both the Old and the Ne<V World contain multitudes of proselytes, is a mil j< ct of much interest. To give the reatkf au idea of the or-gin of this singular sect is the object of the present t S-ay. The family of wh eh Joseph was * member was large, remarkable neither for inlettigeflce nor industry . His father possessed a vi-i nary mind, and eheri-hed the notion that a prophet would arise out of his family. It is hard to say why hr should arrive at this cone!;,sion, yet the means of aeeoinpl sliing his wishes were evidently in his own power, for it was soeii announced to the world that a bro- j tlier of Joseph was the expected prophet. : It i< eviule-ffit that this appointment >vas i.ot made by Divine authority, else so se rious a mistake could net have occurred, Inr the prophet suddenly died —died of surfeit -of eat ng too much raw turnip t flic hopes of the ambitions father were o; to lie blasted by this unfortunate oc currence ; lor it was soon known to the people of Stat’ord-street, wh- re they re sided, that Joseph was the successor of liis brothe". In order to obtain a clear idea of tin; prophet’s rxwif, it will be necessary to rest rto his early years Tno boyhood of Joseph was passed oa the farm with his father. Luring the winter months he at tended the i.stiict school, where he ac quired the little knowledge which he pos ,-essed. lie is remembered by his-school mates a- hi ing idle, and somewhat vicious and was regarded by all as a very dull scholar. Asa young man, his prospers i weie anyth ng hut cheering. - Ile was ngaged in no s eudy employment, and in ght often have been found lounging a ound the bar roorfts of Palmyra, in eom pnnj with ptia-ons as worthless and idle as himself This was the g( ueral cli one ter of Josej Js ISu.itii up to tne time of iis prophetic career, and n > one would have surmised that he was to become the foun der of anew religion, or an inglorioas martyr at Nan vow. Jo-eph's prophetic powers Were fiT.-t directed to the acquisition ol Wealth, and: urmiey-digging soon engaged the atten ion of the family, nudapart of the ncigh dorliood: NigliL after night (these fanat ics labored, urged on by visions of untold wealth. Kxcavalions were made in hill side and Viitley, but Foniitvc, the fickle ‘ aodil’css, refused to smile upon tlietu. — Their golden vision’s were fruitless 5 the prophecy was ful-e. At tins -fete of affairs a circumstance occurred w bich r< trieved the waning hopes of the prophet, and gave anew direction , to his genius. This was the discovery of! tlie Hook of Mormon, or Mormon Bible. This event proved to lie the origin of Mormonism—the feeble germ which pro duced the tree of giant proportions, whose branches has extended over a large part of the known wor.d. It was pretended by the prophet that ibis record was found on a hill, below the surface of the ground written on ] lates of gold. This being transcribed by a mysterious process, became the work now known as the Mpr : mon Bible This is the fabulous account of its origin Its authentic history is as Hollows:—It was wiitten by a Vermont clergyman immed Spalding It was in tended merely as a work of fiction, and was entitled “The Manuscript F"Uiid ” , The author died before its circula'ion, and after various fortunes, it fell into the bands of Joseph Smith, Who at ouce made it necessary to his ambitious schemes. It is probable that this book owes its origin to that sentiment which prompts us to venerate old manuscripts which contain an account of men and times long since passed away. It professed to be the history of a people which had its ori gin at the time of the confusion of tongues and whose prophet’s name was Mormon. The style of the book is in imitaiiou of tire Holy Hible, but in point of beauty of diction, sublimity of character, and divin ity of its Author, it holds no comparison The only work with which the Morm”n Bible can be compared is the Koran. — K*eh is the orae'e of a false religion, and | the author of each was au impostor. Well may Mormonism blnsii at its pa rentage Tlie life of its founder exhibits [no feature worthy of imitation, and his I character is associated with all that is vicious and immoral. Mormonism itself but a specious humbug, whose vital priii ciple is polygamy. Such is the man— such the religion of which be was the founder, CIJTIIKKKT, Oi., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 18.10.

The Pennsylvaniaßnilrond furnishes the. amplest evidence of whnt ra I roads can do for building up the wealth of a State. Along its route new towns have sprung, up with wonderful rapidity, and the ag ricultural and mineral resources of the magnificent country tlwongh which runs the iron horse have been deVolo]i‘Cd to a remarkable extent. Look at the town of Altoona, at tire foot of the mountains A few years ago, what is now about five’ thousand inhabitants consisted of two or three houses at most. There is now irol more flourishing and prosperous inland town in the State. There are five chnreh es in tin; phi’C'c-, viz:; Presbyterian, Meth odist Lutheran, Bapti t and Catholic, — It supports six public schools employing; seven teachers, two private academies a book store, and a first-class family news paper which fawi-b ample evidence of, j the intel igeirce of the population.

S'lie Crop- of flit* United States. I he IL’Ston Traveler thus glances at the condition of the crops in the North ern States ; In the Northern States the most im portant cron, that of grass, has been large beyond an average, but sonic of it has been injured by heavy rains. In ma ny places a good second ei’dp has been cut—a very unusual circumstance Tlie corn crop will be fair, probably a lull av erage—and in many places it is now be yond danger of frost, and, with a fort night more of good clear weather, it will ripen well. Potatoes will be in good -upply, “and have not rotted so badly as there Was reason to suppose from the ex cessive moisture and hot snnshiue of the last ten days in August and the first ten days in September Fortunat’ ly the; rains of the last ten days in August, tIW) most critical period for the potato, were very cold—sa cold that the White Hills of New Ilamshire were covered with snow and this, no doubt, saved a great [WTtiofi of the crop which wowiil otherwise Iriive been lost. The observation At’ the pres ent season confirms the opinion that tlie greatest mischief arising from tlie jHitato rot, is in the last week in August—for though the first half of September has been the weather most calculated to pro duce the rot, hot sun and w arm rains yet the disease has been arrested since the commencement of September. Tire nights which prevail in Sept ember probably have somethin!: to do with the arrest of the potato disease at tins period. As the weather continues unusually warm and moist for this period of the season, it is possible that the rot may be found tO continue later that u-nal.
