Mr. Mackay has written for the London Morning Chronicle, a full and interesting account of the Mormons, a large number of whom are constantly emigrating from England to this country. He says that the Morfrtons boast of having an emigration fund of three and a half tons of California gold.

Dr. Mackay saw and mixed much with these enthusiasts in Liverpool. He was introduced to one of their priests who evinced the most friendly feeling, finding that be was the author of a piece of poetry which is in high favor amongst the sect. It seems that during the last ten years, the emigration of Mormons from England has beon nearly 14,000, and that during the last year it amounted to 2600 chiefly farmers and mechanics of a superior class, from Lancashire, Yorkshire, Wales, and the southern parts of Scot, land.

The first was a woman, who said, I have no money, no home, bo friends, and I was sent here to get a place to lie down I am very sick." She was directed to the office of the Guardians. She had hardly got away from the office when a man en tered, who said," I have just arrived in towa, I have no money, and am very weak from sickness. I am a stranger here, and must depend on the public for support till I can get away." He was also sent to the office of the Guardians. We understand the Mayor receives such visits ev ery hour in the day. Tbe fact shows how much wretchedness there is in the world.

The new Coaaty Road to Beaver, wss open ea 10 travelers on Monday. understand it is one of the best in the country. A gentleman named Hartman, is, we are told, giving trouble by building a fence across it. The road goes through his property and he demands an ezhorbitant price for the right of way. W.

C. Courtney, Counsel for the Company, addressed a letter to Mr. Hartman yesterday, informing him that, if he persisted in his course he would have him indicted for nuisance." Two girls yesterday morning entered the bouse of Hugh D. King, Fourth street, and commen ced overhanling certain articles of value in one of the rooms. A servant entered for the very innocent purpose of enquiring their business, when one of them knocked her down.

After gratifying their desires they retired, and have not since been heard of. The woman committed to jail by Aid. Steele, on Monday, on a eharge of Bigamy, was Mrs. Susan Baity, of Allegheny. It is said the testimony against her is clear.

ACADEMIC EDIFICE. The Academic Edifice is on Ferry' street, between Fourth and Liberty. The building is large, commodious and airy, and being out of the business part of the eity, it is quiet and retired, which renders it a very desirable location for an Institution of Learning. (JATALOOCES can ne ou mi nea at u.e tsoo stores in both cities. The Principal can be seen at the Academy tor of the Columbian and Great West," at Cincinnati, who has recently been traveling through the West and North West, is now writing sketches for his paper of the places and things he saw during his tour.

In the last number of the Columbian, under the head of "Ecohomt Ceiiba ct," we find the following description of the vil lage of Economy, in Beaver county, and accounts of the history and habits of the" Ecooomites: Having become tired of the monotony of stern- wheel water boats, we were trotted off in a neat buggy by a roadster, that from an excellent knowledge of the road and his paces, was able to make good time in opposition to the Beaver and Pittsburgh daily packet. After having accomplished half the ten miles, intervening between the Point and the end of our drive, we came to one of the noblest farms (there is true nobility in combining the perfectiou of Art with the perfec tion of Nature) which we bad ever seen upon the banks of La Belle Riviere. Upon a gently sloping hill was a fine mansion, built of beautiful cut stone, which, although without the lightness and ornament of the villa, when surrounded as it was by flower-bordered sloping terraces and evergreens, by forest trees of luxuriant wildness, and graceful locusts and stately elms, was so far superior to its neighbors, as to deserve a distinctive and more suggestive name than is found in the mere shade and-shelter substantive house." Farther up the hill were the wheat fields, just then waving in the wind like a golden sea, and the orchards promising an abundance of fruit, and the pastures covered with flocks and herds, and woods running down into dells and up to sunny points, with a pictuesqueness of effect that is often happily taken off upon canvass by Frankenstein the younger. But below was one of the broadest and best of the Ohio's alluvial plains one of dame nature's richest laps, into which she has poured the accomula-ted wealth of a thousand years wealth inexhaustible, deposited in a soil that at the touch of the plow, the germ gives back a hundred fold to the sower, and which is this year luxuriating be neath the growth of a miniature ocean of corn. Persons familiar with the history of Economy, know that the founders of the settlement advocate, or rather defend, one peculiar social and one peculiar unsocial institution.

The founders of the society emigrated from Wittemberg, Germany, about the year 1803, and were under the leaders ship and almost entire control of George Rapp. Their property was then indivisible stock, held in common for the common benefit, and in which one person had no greater interest than another. They first purchased six thousand acres of land in Butler county, Pennsylvania, and remained there until 1815, when, thinking they could obtain a more productive soil and found a more important and influential colony farther west, they sold theif original purchase and secured 30,000 acres upon the Wabash river, in Indiana. But after contending not only with those obstacles al ways attending the settlement of any new country, but with malarious fevers, they sold the principal part of their large territory to the celebrated Robert Owen, and unanimously determined to re turn to Pennsylvania. They accordingly pur chased between three and four thousand acres of land, eighteen miles below Pittsburgh, on the Ohio, and gave to their new village the name of F.ponomv.

At this time there were in round numbers, seven hundred members of their society, which was soon after increased by the arrival of fifty persons from Frankfort, under the direction of a man calling himself Count Leon. This accession proved a source of great annoyance to many of the old community for the Count wished to assume a control in its affairs which the venerable Father Rapp was unwilling to allow. The direction of spiritual and temporary affairs was within a circle whose centre was occupied by Father Rapp, who was firm in the belief that its circumference was not large enough to embrace the mercurial little body of the Count. We cannot make further mention of their affairs without alluding to the peculiarly unsocial feature of their institutions. They do not deny the force and implied continuance, or the common obligation of the command increase and multiply," neither as is sometimes asserted, do they excuse themselves from obedience on account of poverty or policy.

Celibacy is a part of their religious faith, and although they admit "that it is well to marry," they apply to themselves the apostolic recommendation once given to an unwilling minority of their race under different circumstances, by an undoubtedly wise and good man hut who, if we mistake not, was without that experience which gives perfection to knowledge. They profess to believe that they should offer all their love to the Creator, and endeavor to retain but a very Platonic and virtuous friendship for one another. They do not deny that some little strangers do sometimes, though but rarely make them unwelcome visits, (they are at once adopted by all motherly matrons, and exhibited like any other curiosity,) but they do not consider these occasional departures from the usually uniform frigidity of their lives as sufficient cause for the expulsion of the erring parties. If any of their members desire to leave, no obstacles are thrown in their way, but they can make no claim for services, and receive only such donation as the superintendent is disposed to make. Count Leon wished to substitute matrimony for the selfdenying faith that had been ostensibly observed for more than a quarter of a century, and it is not surprising that he found an active minority among the younger members of the brotherhood and sisterhood, ready to aid in promoting his views.

But Father Rapp and'the majority were unyielding, and three hundred of the society seceded from the main body, receiving $105,000 as their and changed their residence to Philipsburg, opposite Beaver, where they preserved only the communistic principle of their former organization. It was proved that Count Leon was at best a foolish missionary, who squandered the money with which he had been entrusted in endeavoring to transmute the adjacent rocks, and baser metals to gold, and in other pursuits of equal profit. The sudden change from the strict discipline of Economy to perfect freedom, caused a rebound into excesses that disturbed the harmony of the new association, which was soon dissolved, some of the members removing with the Count to Arkansas, some scattering about the country, and others remaining at Philipsburg, where the abundance of broad-faced, flaxen haired urchins sufficiently attest the fidelity with which the newly made woic and Gatten discharged I he duties of their new estate. The raising of silk, and the manufacture of woolen and other goods for sale, once occupied a large share of attention at Economy; but since the secession their factories have been comparatively idle, and their time has been almost exclusively devoted to their excellent and well-tilled farms. Except the principal thoroughfare, the grass is growing in the streets, and there is a noonday stillness about the village that is seldom interrupted, but by the creaking of a pump handle, as some linsey-woolsey dame fills her bucket at a corner.

There are no babies to squall, no naughty boys to be whipped, no girls to be frocked and bonnetted, and ribboned and these believers in a doctrine to which they have made comparatively no converts, are left to labor, to smoke, to wrinkle, to dry up, and die together in the solitude of selfish asceticism. By their industry they have grown rich (their property is variously estimated from a half a million to a million invested in real estate, stocks and mortgages,) but as theirexperiments in adop ting Americans have failed, they may either be compelled to send to Germany for a reinforcement, or to allow their association to become extinct with themselves. They are peaceful and orderly, and we can but regret that those who manifest so much shrewdness in the management of their business, should leave no posterity to inherit their estimable qualities. They are Lutherans, and meet regularly for worship, and have certain festivals and anniversaries when they assemble in a large hall to dine, to refresh their memories with reminiscences of their fatherland, and to discuss future plans. Since Mr.

Rapp's death, which occurred three years ago, they have a government of eight or nine directors, with power to choose their successors. They have a hotel strictly for the accommodation of strangers, as they refuse to allow them to remain more than two or three days, giving as a reason that they are getting old and do not wisu to ee aisiuroea oy visuo HARPER, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

As it may be of importance to some friends "we wot of," we give it a place A distinguished General (Twiws) returned from the Mexican war covered with "glory." He had however, two marks of hard service which laurels could not hide as they did Casar's baldness. One was a head as white as wool and the other a cutaneous eruption on his forehead. For the latter, he was advised to try a mixture of sulphur, and sugar of lead and rose In applying it, some of the mixture moistened the hair on his forehead, and after a while this part of his hair resumed its original color.

He then applied the mixture to all his hair, and it became, and is now, of its primitive sandy hue. He communicated the fact to some of bis friends in Washington es. pecially to some ex-members, who are widowers and seeking preferment and it has been found efficacious in every instance. It does not dye the hair, but seems to operate upon the roots, and re store the original color. The recipe is as follows: 1 drachm Lac Sulphur; drach Sugar of Lead; 4 ounces Rose Water; mix them shake the phial on using the mixture, and bathe the hair twice a day for a week, or longer if necessary.

Mead. Decidedly one of the best, most pala table, and, we think, most healthful beverages for warm weather, is Sassafrag Mead. It is so very cheap, and may be prepared by any one who will take the trouble to procure the materials. Miss Leslie gives the following recipe for making it: "Mix gradually with two quarts of boilling water, three pounds and a half of good West India molasses, and a quarter of a pound of tartar acid. Stir it well, and when cool, strain into a large jar or pan then mix in 8 quarter of an ounce of essence of sassafras.

Transfer it to clean bottles (it will fill about half it tightly and keep it in a cool place. Have ready a box containing about a quarter of a pound of carbonate of soda to use with it. To prepare a glass of it for drinks ing, pour a little of the mead inio a' tumbler, -stir it into a small quantity of soda, and add sufficient ice water to fill the glass give it a stir, and it will immediately foam to the top. The principal materials for this excellent prep aration may be obtained of the druggists. Ger-mantown Telegraph.
