‘VVhen on board, one of them was indu-
ced to sit at the dinner table; after a few
lessons, he handled his knife and fork with
rniicli dexterity. He refused both spirits
and wine, but was very fond of sweetened
water. Salt provisions were not at all to
hisliking, but rice and plum pudding were
agreeable to his taste, and he literally
crammed them into his month. After his
appetite had been satisfied, he wasin great
good humor, singipg his ‘.‘I*Iey_ mfih leha”

great on attending divine service. The

became dissatisfied, and was set on shore,

respecting this simpleand primitive peo-

of their social manners and customs, of
their language, or of their religion. They
are a little section of the human race re-
moved perhaps the farthest ofany from civ-
ilization, and in whom, from that very
circumstance, we take all the deeper in-
terest. External conditions seem to de-
tain them at the lowest verge of human
existence ; and yet we believe they might

Statement of John B. Gough.
\Ve present below, the Confession of John B.
Gough, prepared as early as his health and
strength would permit. It is direct and explicit
and we think will be generally believed by can-
did people. The statements are corroborated
by other testimony so far as there is any, except
as to the manner. of his getting to the house in
VValker street, which Mr. Gough states more
unfavorable to himself than was represented by
the woman at the house, and in a way much
more likely to be true. The circumstances to
which there-are no witnesses, are corroborated
by the fact that they are just what Mr. Gough
has asserted in all states of mind, from the time
he was found. ltseems to us that the public
will. receive the sentiments and feelings which
are expressed by Mr. Gough, as just and proper.
Illouxr PLEASANT, Roxauiir, Mass.
September 25th, 1845.
Although very weak, and worn with in-
tense suffering in body and mind, yet I
will delay no longer doing that which I
have ever intended as soon as practicable
to do, viz. to give a plain statement of
facts relative to the unhappy circumstan-
ces in which I have been placed within the
past few weeks. I left home on Monday
the first inst. in company with Den. Grant,
of Boston, and Mr. Cyrus E. Morse; spoke
in VVestboro’ in the evening; went the
next day to Springfield, and on the 3d, at-
tended a Convention at Blanford; spoke
three times that day, spoke twice on the
4th at Westfield, tool; leave of Dea.Grant
and lady, and left in the morning for
Springfield, in company with Mr. Morse-
iie. to go to.~Boston»and I to take the cars
for New. York. Isent a.letter to my wife
by Mr. Morse, of which the following- is
an extract :. ‘I hope to meet you on Mon-
day evening. If I did not feel that the
duty of finally arranging matters for the
winter demanded my presence in New
"York, I would come home with Cyrus, but
I hope to spend a pleasant and profitable
Sabbath in Brooklyn. I shall think of
you,’ «Site. &c. My reason for going to
NewYork was to make a final arrange-
ment for part of my time, and what part,
this coming winter. I was tobe in Mon-
treal on the 1-lth inst. I agreed to meet
my wife-and a gentleman who was to ac-
company us-to M. at Albany, on Monday
evening Sept. 8th. I-. arrived at New
York at six or half past six, on Friday, the
5th inst., left my baggage with a porter
on board the boat, to bring after me, and
walked’to'the Croton Hotel. I took tea,
my baggage arrived ;..I procured a-room,
went into it, arranged my dress, toldthem
there that 1- was going to l3.rooklyn,.. and
might not return that night. I have al-
ways been inade-welcome at my friends"in
Brooklyn; and'I knew--that~ if; they were
not full,_I should be invited to stay all
night. About half past seven or eight, I
left the Croton, called at a store in Broad-
vvuy andpuchased a watch guard. Went
to the store of Messrs. Saxton &. Miles;
- advantage of me;
SE
staid there a few minutes. On, coming
out, I had not gone a dozen steps before I
was accosted by a man with ‘How do you
do, Mr. Gough ‘l’ Said I, ‘You have the‘
lam introduced to so
many, that it is diflicult for mejsometimes,
to recognize them.’ Said he, ‘My name‘
is Williams, Jonathan Williams.’ ‘I used,
to work in the same shop with you in this.
city, a good many years ago.’ I replied,:
that eflect. He then said, _

ness; do you find it a good_ business '1’-
‘O, yes,’ I told him, ‘I find it a very good
business.’ _
sued, during which time we were walking
slowly together, when he said, ‘I suppose
you are so pious now, and have ‘got to be
so proud, that you would not drink a glass
of soda with an old shopmate." _‘O, yes, I
would drink a glass ofsoda with'any body.
I will drink a glass with you, if you will
go in here.’ .VVe were then opposite to
'1‘hompson’s. There were, I should think,
10 or 1?. persons round the fountain, when
he said, ‘we shall never get served here.
I know a place, where we can get better
soda than we can here.’ We then crossed
the street, and went down Chambers street
to Chatham street, till we came to a small
shop. Having no suspicions, I did not
take particular notice of what kind of a
shop it was. But I saw confectionary,
and a pasteboard sign, with ‘Best Soda’ on
it. There are two or three establishments
in that vicinity, (owning to my weakness,
Idid not visit the place previous to my
leaving NewYork,) but I have no doubt that
I can ‘identify the shop among the others.
This man called for Soda, asked me ‘what
syrup I used,’ said he ‘used Raspberry.‘
(I am pretty sure he said Raspberry.) Isaid
‘I would ‘take some ofthe same.’
The syrup was poured out and the soda
poured into it from the fountain. (The
fountain was a dark color.) This man
took my glass, and handed it to me with
his hand over the top of the glass. (I no-
ticed his hand, because I thought it was
not a very gentlemanly way of handing a
However, I thought no more but
Vile then went into Cliambers
street again, and up to Broadway, togeth-
er, wben heleft me. Soon after he left-
me, I felt a warm sensation about the
lungs and chest, with unusual exhiliration,
and for the first time I began to suspect
that it was not all right. This feeling in-
creased, till I felt completely bewildered,
with a desire for something, I know not
what. I do not know that I ever felt so
strangely in my life before. I do not
know how long I walked, but must have
walked some distance, as I have some_rec-
ollection of seeing the new white church
at the upper end of Broadway. During
this time, I went into a grocery store, and
got some brandy. I do not not know
where, nor whether I paid for it; butl rec-
ollect drinking. I became after a little
while bewildered and stupid, and had wan-
dered,I did not know where, when I saw
a woman dressed in black. I either ac-
costed her, or.she.accosted me; it is im-
mnteral which, as I was in such a state,
that I should not have waited to think who
it was. Ido not remember what I said:
but she told some gentlemen who went to
make inquiries, that, I asked her if she
could give me a night's lodging, or tell
me where I could procure one, as I was
without friends, &c. She took me into
the lionse. How I got in, I do not know.
"There was a flight of stairs, but I have no
recollection of going up those stairs. I
remember nothing distinctly that passed
during the whole time, til I was taken a-
way, except that I drank : but what I
drank, or how much, or how often,Iknow
nothing. I have some idea that a man
came there whilel was there, because I
felt afraid of him. I have no recollection
ofgoing out at, all, after I first went in on
Friday evening, although it is said that I
was seen on Saturday evening. I have no
recollection either of going out or coming
in; and if I did it, I do not know how I
did it. Ihave no recollection of eating
at all, although the woman told. that I did
cat, and asked a blessing and also that I
prayed. I have no remembrarce of this.
I do not remember purchasing a shirt, al-
though I had a strange shirt on me when I
was taken away. The time that I spent
in that place seems to me like a horrible
dream—a nightmare, a something that I
cannot describe. I have so little recol-
lection of what transpired, that when I
came out, I could not tell for my life how
long I had been there, and was astounded
when I found.tliat I had been there so
long. VVhen Mr. Camp came into the
liouse,I remember that I felt as if relief
had come, and I said to him’, ‘O, take me
away from this.’ I felt glad that some
onehad come. He asked me ‘how Icame
there 1’ I told him a man had put some-
thing in a glass of soda that had crazed
me. He asked me his name, I gave it to
him as he gave it to me, as near as I can
recollect. Another man came in with
Mr. Camp; then Mr. Hays came in and
took me in a carriage to Mr. Hurlbut’s
house, where lreceived the kindest care]
and attention, during the most severe trial
of bodily suffering a-nd mental agony Ii ev-
er experienced in my _ life. During the
whole ofmy sickness I did not call for li-
quor, nor do I remember that I felt any
desire or craving for it.
This is my statemement ; to the truth of
which I am willing to stand through life, in
the hour ofdeath,. and at the judgment
seat-. Irrmaking this statement, I" do it
not to pall-iate or excuse myself,-but to tell
the truth. It would have been much ea-
sier for me, if I had gone voluntarily and
deliberately and drank, to have acknowl-
edged it, and asked the forgiveness of the
public, and thrown myself on their mercy..
But the all seing God lmows,.and I.know,
that it was not so; and my position is--a
peculiar o'ne,..because I have-no prcofthat
my statementis correct. Many will'doubt';
some will believe; and;I: can. say,. that
those that know me best',.will believe me

to know what it was, and that was at Nor-

see it. With regard to the man who ask-

should judge, about 40 years of age, rath-

with him, and I told him so. I know not
whetherthat is his right name. I have
my suspicions that he came into the city
the same night that I did, and left soon af-
ter the Friday that I was found, and that
‘the whole thing was arranged before he
accosted me. However it be, I feel that
the whole matter will yet be made plain;
that by some means or other, in the provi-
dence of God, the truth of my statement
respecting this man will be made as clear
as the sun. May God forgive him, for the
wrong he has done me. VVitli regard to
the house in which I was found, it is said
to be a house of ill fame. I have under-
stood that it was not; but be hat as it may
had it been the most notorious house in
the city, and I had seen one of its inmates
in the state I was in when I met the wo-
man, I should have gone with her. I had
no intention of going to such a house.—-
All I wanted was rest; and I have every
reason to believe that I should have asked
no questions, or made no objections to any
place.
And now in view of the past, I can say
with Job, ‘For the thing which I greatly
which I was afraid, is come unto me.’ I
have fallen, and keenly feeling this, I am
willing to lie prostrate in the dust where
this fall has put me. I do not presume to
say that lam not to blame. I was to blame
of my being too proud, I do not know but
I would have gone anywhere with him.-

Is it intended as a place of worship 1 It is
said not. The people are to assemble
wi!/rout to worship; the saints alone are
to enter within the ‘holy of holies.’ The
\7Vars-aw Signal insists upon it, however,
that the Temple has another object. It
says :
‘The Temple in reality, however, is de-
signed, in our opinion for a fortification.—
It has regular port holes, in the shape
of round windows, in the second story,and
is in every respect well situated for a for-
tification. The wall enclosing five or six
acres around the building, is about four
feet thick, which can be intended for no
other purpose than defence. The idea of
its being intended merely as the founda-
tion of an ornamental railing, as pretended
by the Saints, is preposterous.’

DISASTROUS STEAMIJOAT‘ EXPLOSION.
Conrus CHRISTI, Texas, Sept. 12th, 1845.
The steamer Dayton, while on her way
from this to Arkansas, to day, burst her
and sunk in about eight feet water; seven
though were all the officers.
The explosion took place at half past
twelve oicloclx’, in day time, and Dr. Crit-
tenden, who was on board (slightly injured,
informs me that she sunk in fifteen min-.
by the water) another boiler exploded,‘
with a most terrific report. Another body,
(deck hand) has just been brought in.
Letters ofa subsequent day inform us
that the bodies of all those lost had been
recovered. One of the wounded (a color-
ed deck hand) died the next day; the oth-
er sixteen were less injured than was at
first apprehended and no fears were enter-
tained for them. ‘We trust that the num-
ber killed will not exceed eight. The
steamboat itself is an utter loss.

form you of a serious disturbance that
has taken place in the upper part of this

:’that on Thursday last the anti-illormons
and
several barns and wheat stacks. The ex-
citement was very great, and alarge num-
ber of anti-Mormons were pouring in from
the adjoining counties and from Missouri,
and they were still burning and destroying
the Mormons out of the county. Our in-
formant saw about fifty Mormons, under
arms, within about two miles from the set-
tlement, who appeared determined to de-
fend themselves.‘ It was in contemplation
by the anti-Mormons to attack two more
settlements last evening. In haste, doc.
In addition to what is stated in the a-
bove letter, we learn by the Die Vernon,
that a gentleman who had visited the camp
of the aiiti-Morinons, near Lima, estimated
them to te about three hundred strong.—
He was also at the camp of the Mormons,
and found them to number about one hun-
dred. After leaving the camps, he retur-
ned to \Varsaw, where he remained some
time, and learned there that the Mormons
had all moved into Nauvoo, and that Back-
enstos,‘the Mormon Sheriff, Iiad ordered
out the Legion, to arrest those who had
commenced these disorders. If this re-
port should be true, and the Legion turns
out, a conflict is inevitable. A letter to
Messrs. Mathews &. Patch, of this city, on
Saturday evening, from VVarsaw, says that
business was suspended on. account of'the
difliculties with the Mormons, and that

eyes! two drops of liquid azure set in

the heart of an anchorite!
Beside this angel, knelt a youth, whose
cheek, pale as ashes, told the tale he was
in love I “Tell me,” said he——in trem-
bling accents—“Tell me this night my fate.
Keep me in agony no longer. Tell me
what sacrifice I shall undergo for ,you—
you my soul's idol! Command me to
perform a pilgrimage around this earth on
burning coals—and it shall be done. Any
tliing—any thing—but cast me not off.-
Plant a dagger in my heart but keep me in
suspense no longer! Say lovely Phoebe-
willyou—will.yon be mine 1" He trem-
bled—his heart throbbed—she saw he was
ready to swoon—a crimson flush mantled
his cheek—-
