MORMON PROPHET. A corres pondent of the San Francisco Herald, writing from Salt Lake city, thus describes Brigham Young, the Mormon Prophet: Brigham Y'oung, the Mormon Prophet, or, to use his own words, the "President of the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter l)av Saints," is a lighthaired, thick set, medium sized, rather roundshouldered, shrewd-looking man of nearly threescore years, and of cheerful and commanding app arance. He used to shave closely. Figuratively lie may do so now. But corporeally, luxuriant sandy-brown whiskers, beard and mpstachios adorn his prophetic face.

In fact the "Mormon War" gave a mighty impulse to the hirsute movement in Utah. In that time of trouble nobody thought of shaving, and as yet the smooth faces have scarcely regained tbeir wonted vantage ground. Brigham is a live speaker. Under his oratory saints or sinners seldom elide off into mystic dreamland. Generally when he sits in meeting, and sometimes when he is preaching, he wears a hat or handkerchief on his head.

As he rises in the stand, a manifest interest is excited, yvhich becomes contagious and rapidly pervades the whole assembly, yvhile coughs, ahetns, and various shufflings are outyvard and vulgar and visible signs of awakened attention, and preparation to hear something. His manner is calm, deliberate, self-possessed, self-satisfied and confident, with very little gesticulation, except yvhen fired up yvith his subject. His voice is far from unpleasant, not very- powerful, but still well capable of filling the Tabernacle, and is slightly tinged with that hard, inflexible quality common to uncultivated voices, yvhich have been strained by much loud speaking to large assemblies. His utterance is short and sharp, as though, just at the instant of their leaving the door of his lips, he suddenly communicated to bis yvords an extra degree of impulse. This peculiarity, in passages of more than ordinary energy, contributes to impart to his speech a piercing, cuttiDg, thrilling effect.

His influence over his hearers is extraordinary. Perhaps, in power to attract and rivet the attention of his audience, be is not excelled by any living orator. This may be partly owing to his peculiar position. Certain it is, that tbe magic of his voice sways Salt Lake congregation as no other voice can. It is remarkable, the dogged patience yvith which a Alormon audience will sit under the ofttimes, dry, wordy, thread-bare, worn-out, longyvinded iiarangues of the small-fry elders, in the hope of at last hearing a spirit-stirring word from Brigbapi.

on Monday night, which resulted in the shooting of three mpri, one of them supposed fatally. The Day Ilook of Tuesday gives the following account of the affair: Portsmouth was thrown into a state of excitement last night, bv the report that three persons had been shot by Mr. J. W. Jones, the Master Caulker in the Navy Yard.

The facts, as gathered from the evidence as elicited by the Mayor this morning, are as follows: Itjappears that Mr." Peed, a young man rvell knoyvn in Portsmouth, had been discharged from the Caulker's Department by Mr. Jones, who had been accused by Mr. Peed of discharging him on political grounds. Since that discharge, Peed had repeatedly and openly avowed his intention of taking satisfaction of Jones. The parties met at or near Grimes' stable, and Peed and tyvo other persons yvere shot.

Peed received a ball in one ot bis knees. Jones yvas seen running and Peed pursuing him. A witness heard the report of a pistol previous, and testified that Peed yvas limping at the time he entered the Jones did not rnn very Car after he entered the street before he wheeled and tired in the direction of Peed. It is supposed that this was the shot yvhich took effect in the breast of James Broyvn, who happened to be near, and who is not likely to survive it. The third shot from the pistol is supposed to have struck another party, Mr.

Charles Williamson, who is slighlv yvounded on the ear. Mr. Jones is a yvell known and quiet gentleman, and this is the first difficulty we have ever heard of his being engaged in, and this looks as though he had been forced into it from self-defence. It is but justice to Mr. Jones to state that he quietly and promptly surrendered himself to the authorities, and expressed a desire for a full investigation.

MARSALA. yvhere Garibaldi has landed, is a port of Sicily, situated about 95 miles from Palermo. It belongs to the Province of Trapani, which extends, as yvell as the Province of Palermo and that of Messina, along the north coast of tbe island. Marsala carries on a large business in the yvine which bears its name; it also deals in corn, fruit, cotton, and salt. The population is about 20,090.

It possesses a number of foreign commercial houses, the most important of which are English. It was a flourishing place under the Romans, and its prosperity yvas maintained until the close of the 15th century. In 1532 the port yvas tilled up by order of Charles to prevent the fleets of Soliman 11. from getting possession of it. It has never completely recovered from that disaster, and ve.sels of large tonnage cannot enter.

The attack on Marsaia indicates the plan conceived by Garibaldi. He carries the struggle on the north coast of the island, yvhere all the strong places are situated, and approaches those positions, which if seized on bv him, will give decisive Courier.

The manifesto, yvhich your Excellency addressed to the National Palace, strengthens my opinion; since, with a noble disinterestedness, you declared that you had accepted such an investiture solely and exclusively for the time necessary to remove the obstacles which then presented tliemselrcs, and to bring to a termination the re-conquest of the most important port in the republic, protesting that you yvould surrender such poyver afteryvards to the proper person. Two periods have passed during the course of fifteen months, and immense efforts have been made by all classes of society to assist your Excellency in fhe consummation of that object, and since iate events are a conclusive proof that other measures ought to be adopted to save the country in the present dangerous crisis, I as the only one responsible before God and my fellow-citizens, as being the legitimate representative of tbe plan of Tacubaya, cannot be indifferent to the evils rvhich afflict my country, nor still less hesitate to face the present occasion, promoting whatever mav be conducive to her well being and prosperity.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRTY-SIXTH CONGRESS SENATE: WASHINGTON, May SEWARD appeared in his seat, and was warmly greeted by many Senators of both parties.

The VICE-PRESIDENT laid before the Senate a communication from ths Secretary of the Treasury, in compliance with a resolution of the Senate of the 26th transmitting a statement of the amounts due the several contractors, for granite and other materials, already delivered, for the construction of the Treasury building, and the Custom-Houses at New Orleans and Charleston, with the report of the Acting Engineer, in charge of the office of construction under the Treasury Department, and ae- I companying documents; which was read, and on motion by Mr. Hamlin it. was referred to the Committee on Finance.

Ringham, in which an extract was made trom one ot his Mr. Wigfall's) speeches, in which language is attributed to him that he never I used. He pronounced the quotation utterly false. Mr. RINGIIAM said he found the language in a newspaper, and supposed it to he correct.

He had no intention ot misrepresenting the Senator from TRUMBULL rose to a personal explanation in regard to an article in the Constitution, attacking his vote and that of Mr. Hamlin upon one of Mr. Davis' resolutions, and said if the editor of that journal had read his remarks at the time he would not have made a false statement as to his position. He had never desired that Congress should protect constitutional rights in a Territory, but did deny that holding slaves was a constitutional right. It ill becomes the editor of an official organ and the Printer of the Senate thus wilfully to misrepresent the views of Senators.

Mr. SLIDELL reported back the bill for the acquisition of Cuba, but said he would not it at this SLIDELL presented the report of the ma jority of the committee appointed to investigate the charges of corruption against the Fritter to the Senate, accompanied by resolutions which he moved to be KING rose to make an explanation, but was cut I fc i i.

Mr. and Mr. TOOMBS hoped that it would not be postponed. If matters were left over in this way, and the Senate jumped from one subject to another, thev never would be able to get through. The to postpone was carried by yeas 27, navs 22.

Mr. A 1)10 offered a resolution that during the present session no Senator should speak longer than fifteen minutes nor more than once on the same subject. Objected to. Mr. IIALE withdrew his substitute to the Overland Mail bill.

Mr. LATHAM explained the provisions of his amendment. he bill for the admission of Kansas was taken up, and Mr. COLLAMEII made a speech in favor of it. It was then postponed until Monday next, when Mr.

Sumner has the LANE discussed the Oregon War Debt bill. He was followed by Messrs. DAVIS and CRITTENDEN, who gave their views on the subject. Mr. HUNTER said if this bill passed, means must he found to pay this gratuity el four millions of dollars and upwards, and suggested a new loan.

On the conclusion of his remarks he offered an amendment to that effect, authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to advertise tor a loan to the amount required to be paid under this act, at a rate of interest not exceeding per cent, per annum, payable at the end of five years, and the stock to be sold to the highest bidder. Mr. SIMMONS was opposed to putting a loan bill on the war debt bill. The question being taken, the amendment of Mr. Hunter was not agreed 12; navs 35.

FENTON reported a bill providing that all invalid pensions shall commence from the date of the disability, the object being to place all army and navy pensioners on an equality, and remove from Congress the numerous applications continually made for back pay. lie said this measure required about $1,500,000 lor the arrearages, After several efforts to defeat the bill it was finally passedyeas 98, nays 80. On motion of Mr. GROW, the House insisted on its disagreement to the Senate's amendment to the Homestead bill, and asked a committee of HASKINS called up the special order, being the resolutions report) by him from the Committee on Tublic Expenditures, providing hereafter that no person shall be elected Printer either to the Senate or House, who is not a practical printer, and of fair reputation for skill and ability. The Printer elected to either branch to give bond and security in the sum of $25,000, and the present prices to be reduced forty per centum.

The resolution to take effect from i'ts Mr 11ASK IN, the Chairman of the Committee on Public Expenditures, (who had investigated the subject of the public printing,) spoke of the abuses of the present system. He said that the contract system has proved an abortion. Hence there was a necessity for reform. He charged the President, together with Attorney-General Black, of having distributed patronage or proiits from the printing of the Post-office blanks, to bolster up and sustain corrupt partisan presses; mentioning, in this connection, the f'ennegtretnian. Evening Argue and Constitution.

He showed the enormous increase of the expense for public printing; and in conclusion, be said that by the adoption of the resolutions reported, the government would save annually a hundred thousand dollars. Mr. ISARKSDALE inquired whether Mr. Haskin did vote lor printer, for Mr. Defrees, who authorized a declaration to be made in the Republican caucus which nominated him, that if elected he would give half the proiits for electioneering HASKIN said at the time he voted for Mr.

Defrees he had no knowledge of that fact. He afterwards heard of it through the newspapers. Hut this showed the greater necesssity for the proposed The CLERK next read the report of the minority of the Hindman and Clopton concludes with a resolution, that the contract made by Mr. Ford with Messrs. Larcomb and English is in violation of the law of Congress, and declaring the office of printer to the House vacant.

Mr. GURLEY the Chairman of the Committee on Printing, advocated the bill heretofore reported by him, to establish a Government printing-office as a remedy for the existing evils, extravagance and scandal. Among others in support of a Government printing office, be quoted the evidence of Mr. John Heart, the Superintendent of Public Printing, of whom be spoke as an able and honest man, and who took singular pride in his profession, with a single eye to the public interest. He with pleasure bore this testimony to Mr.

Heart, who is his political opponent. Air. CLOPTON, of the minority of the Committee on Public Expenditures, proceeded to oppose the establishment of a Governernment printing-office, on account of the increase of Executive patronage, and because he was not convinced that there would be a saving byadopting that plan. He advocated the letting out the printing by contract to the lowest responsible bidder, and defended the President from Air. liaskins' charges of usurpation and violation of law, saying it came with a bad grace to charge corruption on the President, the Attorney General and others, when the Republican party, with a single exception, voted for a candidate for printer, who promised to give half the profits of printing for party purposes.

No question was House adjourned. the Easlon Star.) THI; ENGLISH GOUSUCH CLAIM. In 1820 Thomas Talbot Gorsuch, many years surgeon at Shoreditch, died at his residence, Queen Square, Westminster. leaving a large real and personal estate to James Thomas, adopted by him. then an undergraduate at St.

John's College, Cambridge, and on the happening of certain contingencies, to such persons as should be of his kindred through his next male lieir of the family and name of Gorsuch, not claiming through a female. 11 is by one of the several codicils to his will that the entire kindred of Gorsuch become claimants to the personal fund, now in the bands of trustees, though precluded by alienage from the landed estates. This fund, with its accumulations, is said to have reached more than half a million. The death of James Thomas, shortly after his benefactor, has given such a direction to the estate as to make it an interesting question here among us in Alaryland. By the contents of the will and codicil's, the testator was aware that the claimants would have to trace this relationship to his great grandfather.

His father had died in 1780, a clergyman in Orders, highly respected for piety and usefulness, and the locality whence his grandfather and great grandfather came, was just where this section of Maryland had a large immigration from 1018 to 1000, according to the received tradition. Among the very early settlers of Talbot and abiding here till 1091, were Richard Gorsuch, Charles Gorsuch and Lovelace Gorsuch. This family name was transferred to Baltimore county in 1070, and it lingered in Talbot till 1750. From that time, in Talbot, it was corrupted into Gossage, and we are pleased that an effort will be made to connect the Maryland Gorsuch and Gossage name clearly with this testator's familv. The early Gorsuch settlers first seated on the forks" or the Cboptauk (the present Tuckahoe Neck in Caroline county) and owning Old Town, a well known tract above Greonsborough.

A list of resolutions were read, declaring tfiat the one national, Democratic, honest and intelligent man now in the country, is Sam Houston of Texas, ealline- an independent press, and a patriotic people to unite in his support; summoning his friends to elect delegates to a State mass-meeting on the lsth day of July, to make an electoral ticket, and to nominate a Vice President, and recommending that they all convene in mass-meeting on the 4th of Julynext, at the "Hermitage, which was once the home of Jackson." The meeting was addressed by Dr. Harbronck, the Hon. .1. Harris, of Texas, and others. he following is the letter of Gov.

Houston, accepting the San Jacinto nomination v- AUSTIN-, May 17th. nccom resolutions meeting, held on the battle-ground San Jacinto, on the in which lam recommended as the 1 eople's candidate lor the I residency, is before me. The place from which those resolutions emanate, the number of those who adopted them and the patriotic impulses which controlled their action, entitle them to my respect, and awaken in me grateful feelings toward a people, already endeared to me from past associations in troublous times and continued evidences of favor. At, no time since my entrance into public lite have I withheld my service from my fellowcitizens. IV hatever lamisof my country and helongs to it.

1 have never lost confidence in the masses or transferred uiy allegiance from them to cliques or conventions, and the spontaneous expression of the popular will, transmitted by you, is more grateful to my feelings than would be the endorsement of any convention. I can but say, in response to that expression, that if the independent masses of the country deem my name important in connection with the Presidency, they have a right to use it. My life and record arc matters of history, hat my fellow-citizens of Texas, to whom these are most familiar, should deem them a sullicicnt guarantee for my fidelity, if elected President, is a matter of pride. Unless the life 1 have lived and the things 1 have done, prove me worthy of the esteem of my countrymen, no platform, however well conceived, and no body, however numerous and distinguished, would make me so. No period could be more propitious than the present lor the assertion of the rights of the masses.

Party spirit, sectionalism and slavery agitation have brought the country to a point ivhere all can see the danger, and I believe there yet exists patriotism sufficient to meet it. I cannot believe that the nation will stop in the lull tide of its glorv, or that our liberties will be sacrificed amid sectional strife. It is enough that Mexico should blot the history of this continent. Providence, so far from permitting us to descend to its ignoble position, will make the ageot freedom glorious by its regeneration, and carry out both tor Mexico and our Union the beuiticent idea so eloquently portrayed in the resolutions ot the people ot San Jacinto. 1 have noticed in the proceedings of the late Baltimore Convention, that mv name was submitted to that body and balloted for.

Justice to myself compels me to sav, that while I appreciate the regard manifested lor me by the numerous gentlemen who voted for me on that occasion, the use of my name was entirely unauthorized by me, and opposed to my well-known opinions. In a letter written March 25, 1860, I said: "It my name should be used in connection with the Presidency, the movement must originate with the people themselves, as well as end with I will not consent to have my name submitted to any convention, nor would I accept a nomination it it were tendered me, and procured by contrivance, trick or management." The people alone have the nominating power, as they have that of election. If they declare for ine, I desire thein to do so, without the aid of "contrivance, trick or management," on the part of any of mv friends. Thine truly, SAM HOUSTON. DOUULAS'PROSPECTS IN THE FREE STATES.

Cleveland Plaimlcaler proposes to elect Mr. Douglas President "without a Southern vote." With the platform adopted at Charleston, and with Judge Douglas for a candidate, it thinks the Democrats would stand more than an equal chance of carrving the following Free States: Maine Pennsylvania 27 New Hampshire 5 Ohio 23 Connecticut Indiana il3 Rhode Island 4 Illinois ..11 New York 35 Wisconsin 4 .5 New Jersey 7 lowa 4 California 4 Minnesota 4 Oregon 3 Total SENATOR SEWARD CLOSES HIS PUBLIC CAREER JULY 4, Auburn AilrcrtiHer seys a committee of leading citizens of that place called on Mr. Seward on Saturday morning last, and requested him to consent to deliver an oration on the Fourth of July. Mr. Seward received the request very kindly, but said that lie must decline invitation for the present year.

He added, however, that if living on the Fourth of July, 1861, he would then cheerfully consent to deliver an address to his fellow-townsmen, as forty years previous to that dale he had commenced his public life, and that occasion would be its conclusion. RUMOR CORRECTED. ruinor to the effect that Judge Douglas intended to instruct his friends in the Baltimore Convention to withdraw his name after the third ballot, should he not be nominated before then, in favor of some man acceptable to the extreme South, or, indeed, in favor of any man, is indignantly denied upon his authority. The report was started for the purpose of affecting weak-kneed delegates in New York and New England. THE IKLSIMTEGIRA OF Wo learn upon inquiry of the action; Secretary ot the Commissioners of Emigration at Cattle (tarden, that "the Irish emigration this year to America (as compared with that of the two or three preceding years) will be very large.

From the Barony Krris, county Mayo, in Ireland, it is estimated that ola population of about 20,000 inhabitants, nearly all will emigrate to this country. The distress is great throughout Ireland, and all who can procure the means, will undoubtedly leave." This accords with advicesreceived through other sources, and the large immigration at the port ol New ork at the present time, tends to substantiate these views. Not less than twentyeight ships, having on board about 8,500 passengers, arrived here during the last week, mostty from Liverpool, or from German ports. The applications for passage by the Galway steamers are represented to exceed the capacity 'of the ships to convey them. By the Irish newspapers, this new movement is generally attributed to a very prevalent apprehension of short crops.

The Sligo Chronicle, lor example, says "the severity of the winter and spring, and the enormous price to which hav and other provender and provisions have in consequence ris are no doubt the causes of the panic which has spread among the peasantry." And the Mayo CoitHtiiutimi, remarking to the same effect, says: "A large number are suffering from the local failure of the potato destruction of the grain severity of the loss of cattle the absence of means to purchase food; so much so, that it is feared the pangs of hunger are felt by some, whilst hundreds are inaugurating the exodus which will end in the ex patriation of a vast population of the aborigines who have enough left to pay for their deportation to another clime." A belief has been expressed that the favorable representations of Br. Cahill in regard to this country, have exerted a powerful influence upon the Irish peasantry, giving a greater development to the spirit of emigration. Certain it is, that the movement of population nowtaking place is assisted very much by funds transmitted to Ireland from the United States, and by solicitations from tliis quarter, whatever may be the truth in regard to the prospects of the Irish crops. The present immigration appears to be principally made up from the agricultural classes, and as to pecuniary condition is much better than that which resulted from the famine and sickness in 1846-7. We have prepared from the hooks of the Commissioners of Emigration, the following statement, giving the total immigration at this port for the last four years: 1856.

Such a rapid depopulation, coupled with emigration to this country, seeuis to justify the remark lately made by the London Time, that "if the exodus from Ireland continues, she will soon become English, and the United States Irish." Vet this is not the fact, so lar as applies to this side ot the Atlantic. Dispersed over the broad domain of the great Bcpnblic, the foreign ingredient speedily assimilates to the native population, losing its' distinctive features, and leaving but a taint impress on the national lottrnal of Commerce.
