"BOTH LIBERTY AND PROPERTY *RE PRECARIOUS, UNL THE POSSTSSOR. HAS SENSE AND SPIRIT ENOUGH TO DEFEND THI;bI."
Captain Van Vliat'a Waal ittoount of
CArrAti : I have the honor, to report, for
the information of the Commanding Ciento.
al, the result of my trip to the Territory of
Utah.
In obedience to special instructiqe, dated
Headquarters Army for Utah, Fort Leaven
worth, July 28, 1857, I left Fort Leaven
worth, July 30, and reached Fort Kearney
in nine traveling days, Fort Laramie in Len,
Great Salt Lake City in thirty-three and a
half. At Fort Kearney 'lvrea detained one
day by therchangee I had to make, and by
sickness, and at Fort Laramie three days,
as all thaw animals weep forty miles from the
post. and when. brought m all had tie—km
shod before they could take the road. I
traveled as rapidly as it was possible to do
*HI al "rtnide - waihnii: ~ ciiveno of my teams
broke down, and at least half of my animals
are unserviceable, and will remain so until
they recruit. Dunng my progress towards .
Utah I met many people trout that Terri-
L or i and also several mountain men at
Green rieor, and all informed me that I
would not be a llowed to enter Utah, and -if
did, I illenald run pod rick of losing my
M. I treated all this, larweecr, as idle
talk ; tmt it induced me to leave my wagons
and escort at Hon's Fork, one hundred and
proceeded alone. .
I reached Greet Salt Lake City Without
inoleetation, and immediately upon my arri
val I informed Governor Brigham Young
that I desired an interview, which he ap
pointed for the next day. On the evening
of the day of my arrival, Governor Young,
with many of the leading men of the city,
called upon :no at my quarters. The Gov
ernor received inn most cordially,and treated
rue during my stay, which continued some
six days, with the greatest hospitality and
kindness. In this interview the Govet nor
made known to me his views with regard to
the approach of the United States troops in
plain and unmistakable language.
He stated that the Mormons had been per
secnted;Triurdered and robbed-in Missouri
and Illinois, both by the mob and State
authorities, and that now the United States
wore about , to pursue the same enure - 0 and
that, therefore, he and the people of Utah
had determined to resist all persecution at
the commencement, and that the troops now
on the march for •Utah should not enter the
Great Solt Lake Valley/. Ai he tittered
these worila, all those present crineurred
most heartily in what lie said. The next
day, as agreed upon, I called upon the Gov
ernor and delivered in person the letters nith
which I had been entrusted.
In that interview, and in several subse
quent ones, the same determination to re
sist to the death the entrance of the troops
into tie Talky was erpre Feted by Governor
Teeny} and those about him. The Governor
informed me thal, there was abundance of
everything I mmireel for the troops, such as
lumber, forage, !Fe , but that none would be
sold to us.
=I
lEE=I

In the course of thy conversation with the
Governor and the influential men in the
Territory, told them plainly and frankly
what i conceived vronhiltv the result of their
present'course. I (old them that they might
prevent the small military force now ap
proaching Utah from 'betting through the
narrow (lefties and rugged passes of the
mountains this year, but that next season
the United State( Government would send
troops sufficient to overcome aft opposition.
The answer to this was invariably the same:
" We are aware that such will be the case ;
but when 4liosearoops arrive they will lied
Utah a deficit'? every house will be burned
to the ground,, every tree cut down, and
every flbld laid waste We have three
years' provisions In hand, which we se ll
' cache,' and then take to the mountains and
bid Aflame to all the cowers of the Gov
ernment."
I attended the service on Sunday, and In
course of a sermon delivered by Elder ,Tay
lor,he referred to the approach of thetreeps,
and declared that they should „not enter the
Territory. lie then referred to the proba
bility of an ourpowenng force being sent
against them, and desired all. persons who
would apply the torch to their own build
ings, cut down their trees, and lay waste
their fields, to hold up their hands ; every
hand in an audience numbering over 4,000
persons was rased at the same moment.—
Dtiring City staytn the city I visited several
families, and all with whom I was thrown
looked upon the present movement of the
troops towards their Territory as the com
mencement of another religious persecution,
ar.d expressed-a fixed determination to NUS.
fain Governor Young in any measure he
might adopt.
JAS. T. lIAL
A. U CunnN,
From all these facts. I am forged to the
conclusion that Governor Young and the peo
phs_a-Utalt_will_ prayeglt.,,ji_miilik,_ the
army for Utah from enteriog th 7 elr• Territory
this seasen. This , in my opinion, will not
be a difficult task, owing to the lateness of
the aeason, the smallness of our force, and
the defence that nature hes thrown .around
the valley of lite groat Salt Like. There is.
but ono road running into the valley on the .,
side which ear troops are approaching, and
G;ir over any millatit,pearos through narrow
canons and rugged mounts*, which a

wood, water and grass, but is occupied by
Mormons, who Kaye some sixty acres under
cultivation, with bowies ■nd barns oh their

po.srssed, or bought out. In fact, there is
no place within forty, fifty, or sixty miles
of the city, suitable for a milita'ry position,

couch, and the younger lady sought pro
tection in the arms sof our hero, mistaking
him for her sister. While in this condition
of confiition, the - pater and miner and (rater
families entered, and for a time danger
threatened. An explanation was finally
made, reason dawned upon the midils of the
sisters, and the younger, blushing as an au

Old Covernor Saltonstall, of Connecticut,
who flourished some fifty years since, was
a man of some humor, as well as persever
ance in effecting the ends he desired. A
mong other anecdotes told of him by New
London people, the place where he resided,
is the following :
Of the various sects which have flourished
for their day and then ceased to exist, was
one Miriam as the Itogersites, so called from
their founder—John or Tom or come other

The diattnguished tenet of the sect was
the denial of the propriety and scliptundity
of the form of marriage . "It is not good for
man to be alone." , This hey be li eved, and
also that one wife only should cleave to
her hrisband," but then this should be a
matter of agreement ,therely, and the couple
should come together as man and •wife, dis

with Wu, and endeavor to convince him of

ter was to be executed having arrived, the
regiment as usual on such occasions, wad
drawn out to see the execution,
It is tho'ciistom on these occasions to
draw lots from the several corporals for this
disagreeable office ; and,,vjjicii,evevy one ex
pected to see these lots :Minimal, they were
astonished to find that the Major had given
orders that the prisoner shonid die by the
hands of his own Cieetbsrr, who was only a
private in the sante company, and who,
'ham Alm mama ardor ; areaved, -was tahi • .
leavai his unhappy bro. her, and with tears
fast flowing, that expressed the anguish of
his soul, was hanging for the last time absout
his neck.
On his knees did the poor fellow beg that
be might not to have a hand in his brothel's
death, ; and the poor prisoner, forgetting for
the moment his petitions to Heaven, begged
to die by any hands than tyae of hie broth
er. The unrelenting officer:however, could

every officer in the regiment on the contra
ry, he swore that the brother, and he only,
should be the executioner, if it were only
for example's sake, to make justice appeal
more temble. When much time had been
wasted in fruitless endeavors to soften the
ngor of this inhuman sentence, the prisoner
prepared to die, and the brother to be the
executioner.
The Major, strictio thiliallms of cruel
ty, stands cleat to see that the piece was
properly loaded : which being dons, he di
rects that the third motion of his cane shall
be the signal to tire. Accordingly, at the
third. motion of the cane, the Major, instead
of the prisoner, received the bullet through
his own besrt,and fell lifeless to the ground.
The' man no sooner discharged the piece,
than throwing it on the ground he exclaim-
He that an give no mercy, no mercy
Let him receive. Now, I submit ; I had
rather die this hour for that man's death,
than live a thousand years and take aw
the n i : brother."
No mod to be sorry for WM unex
pected justice on the inhuman Major, and
the man being ordered into custody, many
gentlemen present, who had been witnessm,
to the whole elixir, joined to entreat the of
ficers to (Infer the execution of the other

The request being complied with, the Viti
Chamber, that very night, drew np a very
feeling and pathic address to her Majesty,
hotting forth the cruelly of the deceased
offteer, and humbly entreated her Majesty's
pardor ,or both Oe brothers.
The brothers were pardoned and dis
charged from the army.
Married Life.

Springfield Republican •
Married life has its trials and its morrows.
Tempers may prove incompatible, and call
for forbearance. Fortune may be chary of
its fawn and enforce sclt-denisl. Children
may be ungrateful, and sting the poor heart
that ham pillowed them. Sickness may come
and haunt a household for years. Belt ask

the weary woman, toiling early and late, ac
complishing the rum of all her beauty and
her buoyancy, if they would be placed apart
could competence be given them, and all
their trials be brought to an end. —The an
