Tbe laat issue of frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper contain* an illbsfration of the greal Mormon demonstration at Salt Lake in honor of Daniel H. Wells, one of tbeir tribe, who, when questioned in Coort, re fused to reveal tbe secrets of the "Endow ment HouseWell* waa on trial for the offense of polygamy, and upon his refusal to give certain testimony Judge Emerson fined him one hundred dollar* and imprisonment for two day*. The followjng will give some idea of tbe magnitude of tbe demonstration : “Some three thousand Bunday-school children also marched ’n the line. Tbe side walks were literally blocked by people for three miles, and, as the procession proceeded. head«d by Wells and John Taylor—the Mormon President—riding uncovered in an oren barouche, peal upon peal of cheer* saluted it at every »t*p. When it passed tbe Federal Court building the shouts were especially deafening, aa if in defiance of Judge Emerson and the officer* of the court, who witnessed the demonstration from the balcony. The procession marched to the great Tabernacle, which waa unable to bold more than half of tbe 23,006 people who, it ia estimated, tried to gaio admittance.” Look at tbit picture and then reflect upon what ia tikCly to be the final result. It is simply startling. No matter if it does trans pire on tbe far-off lim-ts of our jurisdiction ; no matter if thia unholy crusade against virtue is begun and carried od in a remote region, beyond the pale of civiliaed society nevertheless it exists, in defiance of law, and is to all intents and purposes worse than a pool of stagnant water in our social econ omy. This army of children, too—"born in sin and conceived in iniquity," as they undoubt edly were—will learn from their elders the lessons of this incestuous religion, and grow up as impure and unchaste as a nest ot un clean birds. And more : as they are taught,' so will they learn ; as they read, so will they believe; and in thia belief they will grow up and become zealots in a cause that should be a shume to civilization. And tbe end is not yri- These three thousand children and twenty-five thousand adults speak trnmpet-tongued iu revealing tho awful influence of the leaders over the Mormon mnsses. The banners and flags borne in tbe procession— this three mile pro cession-stare ns in the face, more hideous, more frightful, more significant than the black and diabolic insignia of "raw-hend and bloody bones” of the pirate ship. It means all thut such a combination of words and signs can imply ; it means social degrada tion of the lowest degree ; it means defiance of law—social, religious and civil ; it means crime, of tbe most damnable chaiacter —and at tbe tame tima exhibits the strength of power on one side and the weakness of aDy intended resistance on tbe other. Tbe Federal Government can and should etop this thing, even if it has to bang every mao, banish every womao, aod burn every house in Utah. Rvvival or Trade —The New York World has evidence before tt which gives the assnranee that better times are ahead It speaks as if its statements were based on a certainty, and we give an extract in order to Infuse into the readers of Tb* Wrkxi.t a portion of the confidence that an mates the editors of the World: That surest evidence of a reviving pros perity—activity in investments by small capitalists—h»s been furnished at tbe various Dost office* by the bri-k demand for small Government certificates. Tbe metropolitan hotels are doing a fine business. There is an industrious inquiry after real estate not ouly in the city but in tbe summer quarters in the eonntty. Naturally enough these favorable sjmptoms in tbe solid world ot business have been attended by a speculative feeling In pnrely speculative quarters which cool observers must carelully discriminate from them, but the rise m the various mar kets baa not been spasmodic or feverish The imm-diate future is really fall of prom ise for active *nd intelligent men, as it has not been since 1873 before. Tim "Ot.D Capitol.’’—Under this head as havs the following item from the Mil lertgeville Union and Recorder. It is cer tainly ef interest to every tax payer tbat something be done with such valuable pro perty, and it h to be hoped tbat tbe Legis lature will see tbat some remunerative dispo sition be made of it: The Capitol and twenty-two acres, the Executive Mansion and two seres, the peni tentiary and twenty acres, »nd two hundred and seventy acres of reservations. V\ bat shall be done with this property? Every ciiisen of Georgia is interested in tbe ques tion. Surely tt will not be abandoned to decay. Cao it be used in any better way than in tbe establishment of so agricultural or other college io this city ? SrsDAT-ScHOot, CosvBKTtOB. —The Sun day-school Convention which closed its session in Macon last Saturday night was an inportaut engine in tbe machinery of cl.urcb interest.

"Will yon go V The interrogatory stared ns in tbe face as we held one of Uncle Barn’s nostal cards to the light, tipped with the Hampton poet-mark.

Everything being packed and in readiness, we were tons whirl ing over the Macon ro*d at a speed which waa indeed delightful to a tourist. At 6 o'clock r. m. we reached the "Central City." and were rapidly transferred to the Bruns wick rond. At thia point we propose to digress for a. moment *o discuss the Macon A Brnnswick Road. For some time it has been a mooted question as to what disposition shouM he made of it. The State virtually owns it, being honnd for an indorsement on its bonds of $1 950,000 The three problems which are perplexing the people are—which would be more profitable to the State, a sale, a leaae or an extension ? We arc decidedly in favor of the last proposition The road is 105 miles long. By connecting it with the W A A. R. R. at Atlanta, the State will own a connected line from the mountains to the sea-board, running through the richest and most populous portion of the State. The extension line running down the fertile val leys of the Ocniulgee would open op some of the finest water power in the world and form a nucleus for tbe investment «l capital heretofore nnsurpasstd in the Booth At one end would lie Chattanooga, with her vast mineral resources and manufactories, while the other wnnld terminate at Brunswick, on the Atlantic coast, which boasts the best hurt’or south of tbe Chesapeake Bav, and whicli has been recommended by Commo dores Shuhrick, Woolsey and Claxton as tbe best naval station for the Government among the South Atlantic harbors. As the sun rose above the Eastern horizon in all the glory and beauty of a bright Spring morning, we landed in the “little city by the sea" and packed ourselves and bag gage aboard the “Florence," a taut little steamer which plys between Brunswick and Fernandina. Down the inland Cumberland route we were soon sailing when the bovs commenced popping away at the feathered tribe with a vengeance only equaled by their zeal to kill something. Leaving Jekyl Is land to our left—which is tbe famous hunt ing grounds for deer—we soon reached S'. Andrew’s Sound, where, for the first time, we gazed out upon the >.«t world of wa'er composing the Atlantic Ocean. In tbe dim distance *e discovered a brig calmly sailing over the blue wastes of the sea. W v htle we were drinking in with delight the grandeur ol the scene and playing with onr fancies on the white-capped waves, a rode voice m our rear djstgtbed our remips with the excla mation : "By jingo, boys, this beats North's mill-pond, all holler.’’ We turned to up braid the interloper, but when we a«w the enthusiasm that glowed id his astonished face We wished that Hampton clerk a long and happy life, and a dish of treeh Clams for dinner. In due time the light house on Little Cumberland loomed into view, which was swiftly passed, and then began a hurrying to and fro among camp-kettles and frying pans, preparatory to landing at High Point, which was announced to be in view. By 10 o’clock everything was landed, oflr lent rose like magic in a beautiful grove, and the crowd spread themselves out for general en joyment I joined a companion with mv tackle and soon We wereWwptnrirg the fish with a rapidity that would have delighted tbe sou! of Irauk Walton. It was royal fun Whiz 1 would go the line through the air— zip! ih* hook* would strike in the water, an hundred feet off. ar.d in less than a minute our expert fishermen would haul in a croaker, a cat or a yellow tail. Well, we caught them ‘ree and fast, and by nightfall we hod a sufficiency to satisfy us for two days at least, with a few pounds to spare. On Wednesday we adjourned to the ocean beach for the purpose of a sea bath. The waves were rolling just right, and soon we were in the foamy surf, as happy and de lighted as a young boy in his first breeches Gathering op as many shells as we could well carry, we returned tentward, laughing as we went over the ludicrous action of one of oor gang, who seriously insisted that In me of us had thrown in a handful of salt in tfbe water where he bathed. On Thursday we visited the city of nandina, Florida This Is a pretty liltles)fy, and would h ve elicited more of our epeOm iums bad i not been tor her negro polkCand (dllcer.*.

They base everything to {Might a tourist, Irom i»*tU gator down to piok-eyed shell* We itabeye thst at no distant day our Southern beaches ,«ie destined to come info notoriety. For some time Cape May, Long Branch and' Coney Island have won the Southern visitor to their i elightfol retreats, but for simple beauty, aeons und convenience, the Cumber land or Feruandina beach excels them all In fact, there is no compari-on, and our people are learning the fact that we can enjoy ourselves just as well at home, if not better, than by these long trips North. Cumberland Island abounds in heur, deer, and numerous specimens of the feathered tribe On its Southern side is the noted Dungeness. This noble estate was formerly the property of Geo. Nathaniel Ureeu, and has reverted to tb Nightengale family. In times of peace and prosperity 100 servants were employed to atteod to the flower gar dtos alone, which contained plants and shrubs and flowers from every portion of the globe ; but during ibe war the Yankee gun boats shelled the place until they fired Ibe magnificent mansion and now nothing re mains to tell of its former beauty ami splen- j dor aave tbe wrecked and ruined walle and yards, dismantled of their splendor and over-1 grown with rank grass snd' weeds.

Five or six families constitute the «om total of its ponola'ion. There are tw# hotel* The on# at High Point is under tbe management of Mr. Rob erts. and the other, about 2 mil*# in'and. is in charge of Mr Bnnklev. The Island is thicklv stndded with palmetto, bamboo and other s*obbv verdue, which is almost impen etrable by the traveler. We found the peo ple, as a general thing VPrv kind and hos pitable. To Messrs Willie Roberts and VF. W. Wallace espeeiallv are we indebted for many kindnesses and ennrteaies. The former ia alwavs ready and willing to throw a Bail to the breeze or join in any other sport, while the latter—well, word* cannot express the liking we took to him on a short ac quaintance. He is emphatienDv a king- of the rod and line in fishing, and when it comes to fiddling, you can count him in No 1.

No one regrets a trip there, and if we live to see the I npxt reason yon can put us down for one ticket sure. Nkmo. McDonough. June 3d, 1879. Onr Bforkbridge Letter.
