We learn by gentleman, direct from Nauvoo
says tho Warsaw Signal of the ID April, that
new Revelation has been received IN relation to
the Temple. The work, on that structure, is to
be almost entirely suspended for the present, and
the whole energy of the Saints is to be devoted to
the building of wall or rampant around the edi-
fee. This wall is to enclose SIX acres; the Tenn
plo being in the centre 1t is TO be fourteen feet
high, six fee. thick and composed of solid stone
masonry. The work, on this monument of
folly, has been already commenced and hundreds
of hands employed in carrying it forward.


The Philosophy Of tho matter, in opinion
adds the Signal. is this. The Temple beng near
ly finished it was concluded by the leaders that
unless they had some new enterprise by which
to gull the Saints out of tholr money, they would
be without pretext for swindng thcm,
and therefore they have commenced this work,
and have told their dupes that the Lord will not
appear in his glory until this rampant is finished;
for it is the will of the Lord. that il shall be com
pleted before the Temple.


+ The Signal asks: Will the poor deluded follow
ers of those Mormon leaders suffer themselves
longer to be imposed on by these shallow pre-
tenccs? If they will, there is hope of re-
claiming them from their insane fanaticlsm.


The Temple has been but gull trap, where
with to cheat tho honest out Of their subsistence.
for the benefit of the leaders. There has been
at least ono million of dollars donated for the c.
rection of that ediice, while fifty thousand
would have advanced it far towards compile
ton it Is. OF the tens of thousands. that
have been collected abroad, we do not believe one
dollar has been appropriated to the building. All
that has been dono has been dono by the ,ithing
labor Of the poor dupes in and about Nauvoo.-
