Ac cording to bis last 'dispatch, the stated of negotiations between the two great powers is still enveloped in complete mystery. The doubtful point is whether 'or not the mystery is likely to develop into a dead-lock. Ministers refuse all information. It is evident that the effort to arbitrate difficulties (if it was Intended by both. parties to be as a cover to seem peacefully incline'd while really pre paring for war) is a decided success. "Altogether the situation, under the strain of this prolonged delay, has grown mich graver than it was last week. The announcement that the Guards, on their way home from Suakim, had been ordered to stop at Alexandria produced a veritable. en satfon.

Would -there not-remain the verdict of the. other eleven? .Coold-not the trial judge see, never theless, that according to the evidence, the -accused .was guilty and that the best interests'of society demanded his punishment, notwithstanding .some technical error may.have intervened that could,. in no event, have pre judiced him ?. .' It'does. seem to me that under such an order of things, crime would be punished. more effectually, life and property would remain more secure, and that vast sums of money might thereby be saved'.to. the people, and their bnrde.n yery much lightened. Speaking for myself, I should like to see tbe views herein expressed crys talizp into law.

Mr. Editok: -Thinking that per haps a description of the scenery of this bcautitul valley might be inter esting tp some of your readers, I will! endeavor to describe what I have seea in the past tew -day. We .enter the valley through the uoted Echo aud,' Weber cauyous and arrive at Ogdeu, a ueat city or 8,000 inhabitants, situated on an elevation ot 4300 tt. "a -id eurruunded ou tbe north and east by a lotty range of tbe Utah Mountain, whoso tops ace con tinually covered with. snow. And 'after chaining trom the (J. P. to the C. P. train are soon passing around tbe margin of Salt Lake, and arrive at Coriune just in time to see the golden sunset between tbe promontory f bights. Connne is the only uentile city in Utah and, owing to the mining trade being cut off by railroad;, has decreas ed in population some 1500 in the past two years;. it is located iu the northern part ot -Salt Lake-valley midway between the Whsatcb mountains aud. Promontory bights in the centre dt what will be in the near future oue ot the most productive valleys. ot the West. The lay of the. country is level,, the soil id fertile and. is easily irrigated from the.mountain creeks, and when properly watered produces a crop which would astonish our Nebraska larmer ; but dry farm tug is usually a failure, except by the production of Luceruo and some native grasses. The writer with A party pt-eight had the pleaiurf yes terday of a trip to Little mountain,' which is truly oue of nature's won ders.- We started- from Connne air about 10 o'clqck a.'m. with -a mule team aud stage. coch a'ud after two hours ride acre, the valley reached tbe -hot sprfog.s which .boil up froin the-ba'se of theiiiountains aud' are so strong with mineral, properties that a 'silver coin is 'thoroughly copper coated" by being held iu the water tor a teW.ujiuute9 We then commenced the ascent of .tho. mountain .on toot, and atte'r.a halt hour ot clambe'ring over rocks are' surprised to find our selves at tbe. mouth of a mountain cave, whither, our guide had .conduct ed us to .stop for dinner, "a'ud. our lunch soon being spread, we partook. ot it "with au appetite characteristic amo'ug excursion parties and after, a- 6nort rest proceeded to examine tue wonders of our-natural: house. Wo' .found it no be a. small cave consisting of biif a 'single "room some 30 ft.-in le'ugth aud 12 ft, iu breadth with .an arched ceiling composed of .many kinds of rock held together by a lava cement and having the-appearance oft once being occupied by Wild animals, as by digging among- tbe "rubbish, upon. the floor, we- fouud many bones, some fine specimens of petrified woods and tushes of- aucient animals! We-are soon rested -and. re freshed and then pVuceed to "continue the-ascent and dually reach the summit -from vhicii,-byvthe-aid of our spy-glasses, we'ai cable to get a magnificent yiew of Salt.
