A Mormon Settlement in Western Virginia.

--The Wheeling (Va) Intelligencer says:

‘ We learn that there is in the town of South Wheeling a society of Mormons who practice all the doctrines of that sect except that of polygamy. We have had a conversation with an Englishman who belongs to the society, and who firmly believes in all the peculiar notions of the Latter Day Saints. He says he was converted to the faith since his arrival in this country. In his opinion all the churches to which Gentiles usually attach themselves are wonderfully corrupt. He has not had a physician in his house for five or six years. Cases of sickness are cured by anointing and by laying on of bands, according to the customs of the New Testament.
