Your Philadelphia correspondent, a few days since, made mention of our beautiful village in connection with the U. S. Arsenal in our immediate neighborhood. �

The Mormon impostors, who have been making some stir in your City. I perceive, attempted to promulgate their villainous scheme here. They were met in the onset, and their swindling; character so clearly established that for more than a year past we have been clear of a nuisance that at one time was really getting a fast hold among us.�The object was effected by the exhibition of some of the Mormon bank notes issued by Smith, the arch impostor himself, accompanied by an exposition made at one of their public meetings here. As this expunging process has proved so effective, and is the only right mode of treating so foul a disease, I will in another letter give you the particulars. They may be of service in unmasking this imposter elsewhere.
