Show Cjieneral Thomas. Sht 9gtkn gimdion. The remains of Major General G. II. Thomas passed through Ogden on Saturday last on their way to Troy New York where the funeral will take place. The catafalque and car containing the body were heavily draped in mourning An escort of thirteen soldiers under the command of Col. Willard of tho late General's Staff, and Lieut. E. L. Hoggins, attended tho corpse as far as Ogden when they were relieved by a comGeneral pany from Camp Douglas. Thomas was a native of Virginia, born in 18120, and was consequently fifty years of age. He graduated at Went Point in 1810 and was breveted a First Lieutenant in 1811, for gallantry in the war against the Florida Indians, and received repeated brevets for bravery and good conduct in the war with Mexico. In 1855 he received the rank of Major of the Second Cavalry and was made Brigadier General of Volunteers on the breaking out of the rebellion in 18G1. He gained great reputation during the war, principally in Tennessee, and his name became famous as a military commander of greut ability. He held the Post of Commander of the Department of the Pacific at the time of his death which took place on the 20th ult., caimed by apoplexy. Gen. Sheridan's order ang nouncing his death refers to his association with him, "since they sat as boys on the same bench," and thus concludes: "Though senttoFlorida, Mexico, Texas and Arizona, when the duly there was absolute banishment, he went cheerfully and never asked a personal favor, exemption or leave of absence. In battle he never wavered. Firm, and of full faith in his cause, he knew it would prevail, and ho ucver sought advancement of rank or honor at the expense of any. Whatever he earned of these were his own, and no one disputed his fame. The very impersonation of honesty, integrity and honor, he will stand to the Uuiled States as the beau ideal of a soldier and gentleman., Though he leaves no child to bear his name, the old Army of the Cumberland, numbered by tens of thousands, called him "father;" and will weep for him in tears of manly grief. His wife, who cheered him with her messages of love in the darkest hours of the war, will mourn him now in sadness, chastened by the sympathy of the whole country. The last sad rites due him ns a man and soldier will be paid at Troy, New York, on the arrival of his renin in, and the friends of his family and all of his oomrades who can be present are invited there to share in the obsequies. At all the military posts and stations the flags will be place'd at half mast, and fifteen guns fired on the day after the receipt of this order, and the usual badges of mourning be worn 30 days."

' James Tavioe, Clerk. At ft n, life-lon- A Career of Crime. A recent trial at the Court of Oyer and Terminer at Elkhorn, Wisconsin, has brought to light a terrible career of crime. Dr. , William D. Potts alias Duvall, N. Y., formerly residing at Newark, but latterly at Janesville, Wis- consin, was Indicted for poisoning his wife. At the coroner's inquest, which ler sudden death necessitated, the physicians who made the post mortem examination, declared her death to have been caused by poison; the evideuce nt the trial proved conclusively that this was the ense, and that the poison was administered by her husband. The murderer was found guilty and sentenced to Imprisonment for life, which is the highest punishment permitted by the laws of Wisconsin. Wm. H. Potts was born near Trenton ia the southern part of the State of New Jersey, where his family were well known and well connected. In his early lift he was a clergyman, and when only fourteen years of age was popularly known as "the boy preacher." He acted in this profession until he was thirty years old, when he engaged In tho practice of medicine. Ilia first wife, a young lady of Plainfield, died ery suddenly at Trentou. Her disease was pronounced by the physicians tner-eurirheumatism of the heart; but it appears that they were influenced in thair deoision mainly by the representations of Doetor Potts. , In I860, about a year after the death of his first wife, Dr. Totts took up his residence In Newark, where he professed to have supernatural curative powers, giving out that he was "the seventh son of a seventh son," and therefore gifted with healing virtues. He opened a botanic dispensary and carried on a profitable business. lie had a remarkable appearance, dressing always in black, wearing a' heavy beard and long, curling hair; this, with his fierce eyes and singular manner, coupled with rumors concerning his wife's death, made him en object of suspicion as well as interest among the residents of Newark. Here he made the acquaintance of a young lady of some propovty and married her much against the wishes of her friends. ..Ha lived in Newark four years after his marriage, during which time he squandered the means brought him by his second wife. One morning she was found lying dead at the foot of the stairs leading to her room. According to hor husb ind's story, no ono was pre-seto witness hor death, and she was buried without any satisfactory evidence of the cause of her disease. In consequence of the suspicions to which her death gave rise, the doctor moved to Buffalo, changing her name to Duvall, where he married Miss Katie King, who, two years after, died sudden' ly and without apparent eause. With lingular good luck this man again escaped prosecution, and about one year ago, married his fourth wife, Miss Elisabeth Moore, of Janesville, Wisconsin. Having lived with her six months, she also died suddenly; and, as it was provtd at the trial, from the effects of poison administered by this villain, under pretence of giving ber a medical preparation. Subsequent investigations have established tho fact that each of his other wives were hurried out of the world by the horrid arts of. this secret poisoner. The fate which awaited himimprisonment for life is a terrible punishment, but such a wretch is not fit to live. The boast of a criminal, in New York that iii "hanging is played out," holds good a be to Wisconsin, but there ought such for tpecial law and a special gallows hellish ficuds as Potts alias Duvall. de ut ' Our Salt Lake Loiter. 4, 1870. Jd.vctiov: Many of your readacquainted with James Living- ston, of the 20th ward in this city, in connection with his labors on the railroad and the important position he held for a length of time under Sharp & Young, and they will grieve to learn that he has had to suffer amputation of the arm that he got so seriously injured in Webor canon, something about a twelvemonth ago. He is a firsfrate fellow, and this blow will bo a severe one on him, as he was justifiably proud of his physical strength. The amputation was performed on Saturday last by Drs. Anderson, Bcrnhisel and Richards, they having determined, after careful examination, that it was impossible to save the arm. On Wednesday morning tho regular Annual Conference of tho Church will convene in the Tabernacle in this CityT Of course it is understood that the Con ference is postponed until the Cth of May, but as the adjournment, at the last October Conference, was to be Gth of April, the adjournment will be carried out, and one meeting will be held, after which it, will bo again adjourned over until May. Tho annouacement was made in thoTabernacle, yesterday afternoon, by Elder George Q. Cannon, and a general invitation extended to attend. There will, doubtless, bo a largo congregation present. There is considerable excitement here still concerning the Culloin bill. I must toll you something bearing on the naiuo of the gentleman who gives his special countenance to that special and precious Fapiece of legislation. In tho Happy mily part of tho menagerie in this City, where the monkeys dwell in harmony with a rabbit, a dog, a parroquotte, se veral jays, and some other specimens of old animal life, is one mornThis "Cullom." named monkey, ing tho old chap was in a condition, neither so cross nor so lively as usual, and his friends (?) were sorrowful thereat It was hinted by somewould die; and body, that some other body got it that ho had died; and the news spread that "Cullom" was a defunct earcass. I am pleased to state that neither "Cullom" of the "Happy Family," nor his namesake of tlio House Committee on Territories, are iu this sad condition yet so far as accross-graine- semi-inval- counts phow. Fine weather here. ex-po- st at w, or id W . WHITE HOUSE, MAIN-STREE- If Mr. Cullom's proposed law had been in its application, and every man in the whole Government tested upon his "voire dire" before entering upon any office, trust, place or position, that he was guilty of none of those offences, in any shape, manner or form, for which such "cruel and unusual punishments" are provided, to be inflicted upon Saints only, I cannot the Latter-da- y believe that such a general law would meet with any very serious opposition amongst the Saints; for, in that case, the Heavens might release us from the responsibility of more than one wifo. All men doing their duty as faithful and virtuous husbands, might render our faith in, and practice of, polygamy unnecessary. This, however, is but a suggestion. I would ask Mr. Cullom, if he thinks the outside world would fight before they would submit to any such law, though incited to its violation by no higher than brutal lust. If this would be their course under these circumstances, what would Mr. Cullom recommend us to do out here in Utah who are practising polygamy, not of lust, but by the commandment of God? That bill against polygamy which has passed the House is the offspring of a false tradition and erroneous education. Its supporters tell us, that it ia impossible for a man to love more than one woman. Now, setting tradition and education aside, they might, with tho very same propriety, say that one man and one woman shall have only one child, because they cannot love the second, third, tenth, and so on; or if a man have one sovereign (English coin), he must never seek another, lest his love for the first should fail.
