Augusta Adairs.
A prominent newspaper man from Vir¬
ginia has perfected arrangements, it is saiil
with parties in Augusta for starting a new
daily paper. The Gazette, which went

whoso absence leaves an aching void ; hence
the new paper. The new paper will he
democratic and will advocate tarriff reform,

Mormon elders seem to be partial to
this neighborhood. Last stunmf r the oper¬
ations of three of the faith carrying on ther

citement that they were compelled to move.

blown over for they are baek again in in¬
creased numbers. Six of these embassies
from Utah have recently arrived in the
city, live men and a woman, and they are
quietly but actively holding services out
among the factory distrets. Their head¬
quarters in this part of the state is in,
Columbia county, about fifteen miles from
this city, in the heart of the Pinelucky
district. It- is said they have about forty
converts there and that several, persuaded
by the glowing picture painted by the
prophets of tbo charms of Utah, have sold
their little all and gone there.
These missionaries receive money remit¬
tances regularly from Utah, and are thought

-here the next. They have many conve-rls
f here,'and in a number of cases familiet
have been broken up by part of their
members embracing the new faith, while
others bitterly oppose ti.
Last summer several searching parties
went out, intending to run the men out of
the country,but in each' case the parties
sought were sheltered from harm by tires
new converts.
