Great Salt Lake City, U TANARUS., /
Saturday, July 3, 1858
The Army o i Utah, under command of Brevet
Brigadier General Joanaton, entered this Valley on
Saturday, the 26th uit., an hour or two after my let
ter of that date wad mailed to you. It waa about 9$
o'clock in the fcoriaug when the right of the ad
vance cohunn emerged from the cleft of tht; Wa
Batch Mountain? known as Emigration Can r *n, and
began to spread its long line over the tortuous road
down the “bench” towards the city. The day was
perfectly clear, and the whole line of inarch coula
be diaticctly seen a the troops traced over the gen
tle slope ;rom the mountain foot to tbe river lx>ttom
presentin'; the finest possible view which could oe
had of an army :n motion. General Jobnst n had
an order <n tbe evening preceding his en
trance to the city, commanding the enforcement of
the et.icteat discipline while passing th ough the
c:y, and ordering tne in-fUnt arrest of every man
who should leave the column upon any pretenc*-
v/uatever. The object of this order aas achieved
and the army pre-ented an example of th most
oerfcct decorum, neither by word or deed manifest
ing the least symptoms of the ill will which it to
well known was felt among the troops towards the
people who bad kept them freezing on Green Kiver
uurmg long aud comfortleert winter.
The line of the Army, as it trailed into the city,
was at least teu mi ea long, and when the bead of
l;e column had advanced to the temporary camp
ing ground weetof the Joroon River flow. ug through
the valley bottom, we could 10->k from the GeueralV
tent and ees tLe glistening bayoueta aud snowy wa
goo covers of the rear still defiling, out from the
mountains. The scene was magnificent nnd cheer
ing to Gentile ey a, but exceedingly humiliating to
tbe few Mormons wh< witnessed it—men who tm
repeatedly prophesied “in the name of Israel's G'>d”
that the A my abou and never euLer the Valley, and
whose private conversa’ioo and public speeches for
mouths past have been full of brave declare-ions o r
their power nd determination to see that the
prophesy was iu'tilied. It is due to them to remark
here, however, that they still maintain their ab lily
to have excluded the Army, declare that they would
have done it had volunteers been sent instead of
‘regulars,’ or if the Peace Commis-ioners had not
come and made tb-sin promises which they chose to
accept ae conditions ot their forbea r ance
A Visit to Pf.ovo—Scenes and Incidents.—
Toe army being fairly iu camp in the Jordon, your
oorreapouuenf started on Saturday evening lor
Provo City, forty eight miles south of this place,
and in the valley of Utah Lake, where the head

Gov. Young has covered an entile block with

with a row of board shanties one story high, all
opening to the ‘ ectre, and no windows looking out
upon the street. Thus tbe buildings form a hollow
square, with a large court-yard in the centre, which
is entered by gates placed near the cornets. The
buildings on two sides are fitted up for the accom

Such glance as I obtained, however, showed rue
that Brigham is a man of some taste, and his spiitu
ais are generally tiue lot king women—some ot them
indeed, quite pretty, and all ot them, *o far as I
could iudge, intelligent. I suppose I saw iu the
dbauty * quarters’ some thirty woiiien- but wheth
er they were all wives of the Prophet, or whether
these constituted his entire household, of course I
am not informed. The general impression here
seems to be that lie has nearly or quite fifty wives
He uly claims to have forty children living, having
had forty-seven altogether. This, doubtless, is the
highest figure he can claim, as the ‘•Saints’’ con
sider a large number of children subject of pride
and boast, These wives are all their own servants,
and tbe nurses of their own children. To see them
riitiug under the overhanging eaves of the ehauties,
ju t at dark, with their numerous children hanging
around them, all crying, chattering or teasing at
once, was certainly ruggestive of a foundling hos
pital.
I was curious to know whether these women was
huppy in the strange life they led, aud a glance at
their faces impressed me with this conviction that
theirs was the happiness of stolid lisllessness, an ex
istence in which all the higher and holier sentiments
of refinement and affection had been sacrificed up
on tne altar of fanaticism. They seemed to me to
be virtuous, willing, perhaps, and resigned-but
nevertheless unhappy victims of self-inflicted tor
tures, by which they hoped to merit saintly reward.
To a tew of them, perhaps, these remarks would
not apply. Some ot the younger females appeared
tbougl.tio sor reckless, but the elder, who were edu
cated in circles where woman was queen rather
than vassal Blave, wore their chains evidently with
inward murmuriogs.

ratified i. that Brigham tully understands tho
i value ot the axiom that “Order is Heaven's first
law ” Brigham came here a poor man, and his ail
heients assured us that he receives not a cent from
the Church as President, or in any other way. Yet
lie has become immensely wealthy. If the premi
ses staled are true, he must have discovered how to
“make bricks without straw”-—for hie riches cannot
be tin*, product of the labor of his own hands, nor
the result of speculation nor the rise ot real estaie
m this Valley, where no man holds title to a fool of
landed property.
My first view of Brigham was obtained at public
service on Sabbath morning. Services were held
in a “Bowery,” as it is called, on a public square in
the centre ot Provo City. The Bowery is construc
ted simply of posts driven in tfie grouud, supporting
a frame work some fifteen feet overhead, upon
which arc laid willow brush cut on the neighboring
creek. The bower thus constructed was capable of
seating perhaps two thousand people. At one cud
v erected a rude platform or staging lor the presi
dency, the preachers and eiders. As the hour of
epp--cached, the streets were thronged
wirii tho people of all ages aud conditions flocking

pretty or interesting in personal appearance, not
withstanding these disadvantages. I was struck
with the fact that all seemed to have brought their
children with them. There were few among them
without nursing ilifajlte upon their kn ss. The ex
ceeding youth of some of these moth rs could not
escape attention. One at least, who sat near me,
could scarcely have been fifteen years olaer than

The Americas **qnadron in t'hina —Intere*rint;
Letter.
A letter from on board the U. S. steamship Mis
sissippi, off Pei Ho river, China, April ‘J3rd gives
an intere sting a. count of the landing of a party
from that vessel, to convey a letter to be sent to tbe
Emperor. Tbe party consisted of three midship
men, three engineers* and seme petty office —all
under command of Gee*. B. Bacon, and were em
barked in a email junk schooner called the Pei-Ho,
to go up the Pei-Ho liver. The letter says :
As the Pei Ho entered the river, the Chinese
(some ten thousand mer ) manned ail their guns,
numbering from one hundred and fifty to two hun
dred, and of calibre r&BgiDg from six to forty-two
pounders, and crowded their battlements with
armed men. The muskets, matcbl cks, spears acd
swords bristled, giisteßed and flashed on all sides,
presenting as formidable an array as a
r 'Ould well conceive of; whilst the thousands of
flsga and streamers, of all colors and descriptions—
toe fanciful dresses of the soldiery; the long tads,
peacock feathers, gilt, white and chrys*al balls on
he mandarine; caps ot gaudy red t^ps; h and th*-
queer cut of then garments, of many shades and
varieties, gave 8 fairy like and butterfly varery to
■ he scene, which it is next to impossible to describe
In defiance of all th°Be exhibitions of force and
finery, and aiso the train'ng of the : r whole arnlle
y up n the little choooer, yu k ) ‘he party quir y
waited at an anchor in expectation ha l some Cd*
o"8e host w..uld visit them and receive th* letter
which Mr. Bacon hadtw be delivered to the Empe
ror. Finding that ro one came a sm 11 two oared
*>oat attached io the junk was hauled alongside,
and Mr Bacon. Dr. Phillips, Lieut Reed, and Aseis
rant Suigeou Waies vot in and pulled fur the shore
Dr P hilips and Mr. Baocu had a sword and p-stol
between them, and the other two gentlem n a’
Sharp’s rifl3 and a revolver. As they a< proaohed
ihe shore several Chinese ran down to the beach,
gesticulating in the most violent manner, aud warn
tug the party off. Fortunately there was a China
man in the boat who could 9peak a little Euglish,
and who w’as aole to interpret the demonstrations
InetctG of obeying the signal, Mr Bacon Leru-like.
up in fcis hand th*? vermilion-ooiored letter, and
called out for some me to come and take it to the
Emperor assuring them a‘ the same time they
were friends and Amerk-au?. the rbin**3e re
fused to do this, Dr. Pnillipa pro* oaed to Mr Bacon
(iitner to make a mandarin c.ma fi r the letter, or
•die to land and go up to the forts ith it: and al
though the rest ot this small d* vision of a smali par
ty were opposed to this as too much of a b a
vado yet Mr Baconxl termined roadcipt tho plan,
and land with the document, and this est termination
was made known to the Chines- by the interpreter.
Although t hie threat of marching upou tui7r forts
mounted with two hundrr* gun?, and manned oy &!
wst ten s h. uand nen, armed with aewoid, revol
ver and pistol, must appear sublimely riduculous.
yet it was no sooner made kn-*wu than a gilt ball
mandarin (lower cla-s) came trudging down lo the
beach, through mud and mire, and received the
communication. Having succeeded so well thus
iar, it was concluded to demand aa answer from the
authorities before leaving them, aud in reply to the
demand the party were assured that an answer
would be sett as soon as pra-ticable. T e small
boat now pulled back to the little schooner Pei-Ho,
and the party waited the promised epistle ior more
man an hour. At iast a signal marie from the
tbore thut they wished to communicate with the
schooner, and Mr Baron again started olf, at com
panied as before by Dra. Phiiiips, Wales and Lieut.
Reed.
When the little boat reached the beach, they
found a white bail mandarin (one higher than the
gilt bail) ready to meet and ho and a “puw wow” with
Lhem. This officer informed the party that au an
ewer to the American letter would be sent on board
the big ship, the Mississippi, next day. As this an
-wer was md altogether catisfactory, Mr. Bacon
and Dr. Phillips declared their intern ion to land,
and go up to the forts at ali hazard.-?; whilst the re
inainder ot the party oonelud and to remain by the
boat as they thought they had no righ- to land under
the circumstances. As so <n as tho threat to land
was made known to white ball, he begged the party
to iitop for a few m merits, until he cou and see a high
er officer thau himself, as he might be ab'e to get a
more favorable answer to the demand His request
aas granted, ucl he started off, aud in a few mo
ments there was a great fctir among the Chinamen,
and the interpreter became much frightened, and
pointing to the tort* showed us the fact • hat the
oraves “had lighted their matches and double shot
ted their guns, ready at a moment'*” :— ll f. e
into the little Amen;-- y. wuo had the hardi
to orave the iious in then den
After waiting a while longer, a crystal ball man
dariu (higher than white ball) was seen approaching
the boat; he came to that part of the beach over
which the tide ebbs and flows twice iu twenty-four
hours, and where the mud w T as of a deep blue color,
aud of a softre33, depth and tenacity which had
more effect ;n deterring the adventurers from land
ing than ail the four combined. Here the
mandarin came to a dead halt, ar.d in a most majes
tic manner directed the little parly to come aud
talk with him there. But he wa3 much mistaken in
his calculation, and was told that unless he ap
proached within convenient distance the boat would
pull higher up the river to a better landing, and the
party wuuld go on shore. You can conceive of
nothing more pitifully ludicrous thau the appearance
his countenance now assumed ; his whole look of
bravery lett him, and au expression of utter despair
seized upon his features as lie made his lirst effort.’
to reach the boat; he waa a man weighing proba
bly three hundred pounds, and every step he took
brought him over his boot tops in the soft mud,
which received his leg with facility, but was evi
dently inclined to hold fast to that which it had re
ceived. Mr. Mandarin had made but a few steps
when he stopped short, and ordering half a dozen
attendants to approach him, he made them pick
him up and bring him through this new “slough of
despond.”
While it was painful to see the poor fellows labor
ing beneath the weight of the fat Mandarin, the
party could scarcely contain their laughter at his
evident fear of being pitched over their heads and
embedded in the mud and m re through which hio
supporters were so heavily trudging. Having at
length arrived sufficiently near to hold a parley, ho
fold toe party that, provided they would leave the
river, an answer would be sent to the Mississippi a’
BA. M. the next day. He was replied to that his
answer was satisfactory, but th-it the little Pei-Ho
would remain where she waa until the tide favored
her return to the si earner. The boat now pulled
bacK to the little schooner, and the party went on
board again, where they remained at anchor all
night, with two hundred heavy guns loaded, man
ned and brought to bear upon their little craft, and
the ne*t morning returned to their ship. It was
not until they had left the river that this little party
learned, through the interpreter, tha: the Chinese,
WaO had never seen our fl*ig, believed the whole
party to be English spies, and had been several
times on the point of liringginto them, and thus el
fectually preventing them irom conveying back
j any infcimalion concerni l g the fortifications.

those things I would not, neither will De, aceounta- j

Also, I will have three horses for my own sadd'e, I
that none shall dare to lend or borrow : none lend j
btn I, none borrow but you.
Also, I would hav two gentlewomen, lest one j
should De sick or have some other left. also oelieve j
that it is an nndecent thing for a gentlewoman to |

Lord and Lady with a good estate,
Also, when J ride a hunting or hawking, or travel
from one house to another, I will have them attend

will have for either of them a horse.
Also, I will have six or eight gentlemen ; and 1

The Course of True Love.—About thirty years
ago, says the Louisville Journal, when Sir Edward
Lyttun Bulwer was a bridegroom and the preseii’
Lady Bulwer his bride, that exquisite poetess, “ L
E L.” (LefitiaE Landon.) wrote and published an
account of their characters and personal appear
ance. They were both quite young and each of
them in delicate health. The bridegroom was de
scribed as pale and fascinating, and the bride was
painted as a fragile and fairy like creature, of sur
passing loveliness The tend r tints of her cheek
were said to be “ like rose leaves oounced on ivo
ry.” The deecription was read everywhere, and
tbe public admiration and the pubiic sympathy was
deeply excited for the young pair, who, it was
thought, must soon pass away from a world too
coarse and rude for such gentle and lovely natures
as theirs. Ah, little dreamed the reader then, that,
alter a very tew years, tbe gentle bridegroom would
strike the tender bride, that she would seek redress
by publishing a series of coarse, fierce and vitu
perative novels and pamphlets against him, and
that, after a few mi re years, she, grown to be a
sturdy, red faced and muscular woman, would pur
sue bim to his canvass for parliament, take her
stand upon the hustings in reply to his public speech
es, call noon him to confront her, shout “ coward ’
at him in his precipitate flight from her Dresence,
ana announce her determinatiod to persecute him
till he should cry for mercy, and humbly make her
amends for all his vilianies

pao*’ - nu ( ° th( ‘ Bloant-Boviere Affair.
i’lio announcement in yeatei and iy’s Republican of
the sudden dep rture of Miss B 1 uut, the night
previous, for her home in Mobile, caused h mate
rial abatement of the public interest in the roman
tic affair that was transpiring iu our mi*.-at. She
was the centre of attraction to the whole affair and
consequently her absence reduced the remainder
of the proceedings to a mere o rnedy, of which
however, large .number? continued to !>:* the iu
terested witnesses, more for amusement lhau any
tiiiug else. They were well paid for their pq.ina.
At ID o’clo k the Magistrate’s Court, cousisting
of Justices Staley, Connell, Ruscel and Hart, as
c*-uded the bench and announced themselves ready.
The courtroom wa? deoeely crowded and large
numbers remained outside awaiting the arrival of
the prisoner. Two horns and a half elapsed and no
prisoner, prosecutor or counsel had appealed. The
Court then despatched the County Sheriff to the
jad to ascerteiu tho causo of delay, but no prisoner
was to be found. Upon further inquiry it waa as
certained that Capt. Reviere had heen turned over
by Ci:y Sheriff’ Prendergast to Constable Galloway
and that the whole party, ineludmg prosecutor and
the counsel on both sides, were at the Pulaski
Hnuse, in conference upon terms for an amieable
a(ijußtiue:.t of tlie knotty affair. At this their
Honors became vastly iud'gnant, and considering
their dignity outraged, issued orders for the arrest
•>l Sheriff* Prendei'gast, Constable Galloway, Col
81-’Unt and Capt. Reviere (we wonder they did not
include the counsel!) which was accord ; ng!y carried
out to tbe letter ami the parties conduced to the
court home to answer f. r a contempt.
Col. Blount., being unprepared to sustain his alio
gations as set iu the information, moved ;
through bis counsel, that the whole prooe. dings bo 5
dismi ud. The Court insisted upon tim Col's
Bwearing to the a dement, which he did and the
matter was aocordinglv stricken trom the docker
Sheriff Preudergast filed an affidavit, staling that
the prisoner had been turned ov; to Coi.stable
Galloway, and that ho had no further care of him,
whereupon tin* Sheriff was dist har,; ‘!.
Constable Galloway was not so fortunate. Al
though he alleged that the parties were iu consul
tation for a settlem nl: *.f the case as his reason for
not bringing in the prisoner at the appointed hour,
something must be done lo appease the ,11'eiuleu
dignity or the Court; he was accordingly linu $2,
sentenced to pay costs; and committed to Jail tar the
apace pf six hours.
This reminds us forcibly of the slorv af the Dutch
Magistrates ot New Amato:dam, so well told by
Washington Irvin; havi-jg asd*-uiblevl ;.nd find
ing, to their extreme m rt ificatiou, no criminal case
on the docket, they considered it beneath tin-ir dig
nity to adjourn wnliou? doing some oflk ial act, and
they accorcingiy sent the Constable to jail!
The whole affair at the Court House was rich be

room to give i in detail
We are authorised by the counsel ol Col. Blonni
and Capt. Reviere to state that their and fi: ulty has

An Important Decision.— A case of considers,

decided at the late term of tbe Circuit Court for
Rutherford county, Teun., of which we find tbs fol

Some months ago Mr. Jones, a respectable farm r

Singular Prophecy of Death-—Barnard
Houseman, a well known citizen of Cincinnati died
on Sunday night. He was taken sick three weeks

shall die ” His milkman was present, and told him
he should not talk so. He asked the milkman what,
he would bet on it, and after some conversation it
was agreed that if he died ii three weeks tbe milk
man was to supply tbe family a year, tor nothing,
and it not, douole price was to be paid for milk a
year. This was done jestingly by the milkman.—
Mr Houseman insisted daily that he would die just

Diabolical and CowAhDLY Murder in Ala
bam a—Arrest of the Murderer.—A umu nam
'd Michael Hibbett Was murdered at his store near
Lowndesboro, on Sa urday morning last, about one
•r two o’cl ck, under the following circumstances .
One James Aiken, a fellow who has been k lock
ing around in this vicinity and in Lownds county
or the past two years, called at Hibbett’s store on
lie in t ing in question, and asked for some whis
key. Wtdle Hibbett was drawing the liquor from &
j.a?k, his back being turned, A ken appr ached and
struck him on the oaek of the head, stunning him
by the blow, and prostrating him n the fl or. The
uiscreaut then took u s own (Hibbett’s) bowie
knifa, and cut the throat of the prostrate mau from
-ar to ear, severing the jugular and all the other
vier.s. Hibbett must have died instantly.
Aiken then proceeded to rob the body of the
nurdered man, taking all the money he could find
on his person and in the till of th” counter. It was
known that Hibbett had a large amount ot money
11 his chest; but being unable to find the key of
ih t depository, Aiken could’ut get at it. Haviug
incure 1 his booty he left the scene of the murder
ind came to this city, wheie he visited a house of
questionable reputation—paying six doilars to be
brought here—about twenty miles. He mads quite
a show of his money while here, and had coin and
bank notes to a large amount. About sixty dollars
was recovered from a female in whose hands he had
placed it. r tll , , .vnaeßOofo , l ou
several . . or Aiken, who was fouud to
‘'tetimuate 1 ; P ut j him to this *city; but he had
left shortly before they arrived at. the house which
he visited. Keeping on his trail, they followed the
line of the Montgom* ry and Pensacola Railroad,
and about 3 o’clock yesterday (Sunday) morning
• hey discovered him asleep about three miles from
’he city. He was at once taken into custody,
brought to this city, and committed to jail. About
half-past six o’clock, A. M, he was taken back to
Lowndesboro’ by’.he citizen** of that place, who
had arrested him. accompanied by officers Tyler
and Williams, f this city.
The excitement in Lowndesboro’ 8 said to be
very great, and bints weie thrown out that the
‘•law’adelay” would be dispensed with io awar ing
punishment in this case. Hibbett was an old citi
zen of Lowndeo, a single man, and very much re
spected ty the people in that section. The murder
is the most diabolical that baa been perpetrated in

Freight on Wheat.—Wheat can be shipped
from Knoxville, Tenu,, o R chmond, Va , by way
of va man, cheaper thau by the East Teuneese
and Virginia Rail Rma.
A communication in the Romo Courier signed
‘ Several Farmers,” says :
“It is rumor*d that all the Railroads connecting
ihe Cherokee country wit.it S vaimab and Charles*
ton agreed to reduce the freight, on wheat, amount
mg, in all, to 10 or 15 cents in the bushel, and the
State Road authorities relused to go into the ar*
rangement, anti tor that reason the reduction tailed
in toto. Was the Western & Atlantic. Railroad
built, for the benefit of the people, or to make Gov
ernors? We ask for information Will you, Mi.
Editor, see l-apt. Elliott, or Col C tbran, and find
out if this be true, and let your readers and the pub
lic know the truth. If this reduction iu freights was
made, wheat would bring everywhere in Cherokee
from 10 to 12 cents a bushel more than it now does.
Tue farmers would bring in their wheal and sell it,
end get out of debt, and a 1 tho Railroads would
make more money by freights on wheat than they
do now. The prices are now so low that farmers
cannot haul th ;ir wheat I:* or 20 miles. *
