------- .
Lieut.-Gen:, Wells,
.at Fort
person of Taylor from
Bi idger, directing all th.e parties in the neighbour-
si and concentrate in
hood of Green River to re
pear River, and stating
advance of the troops on _.
that there were some 800 Ulinted States' Dragoons
on their way to reinforce our command. They were
further directed to burn the gre..ss, steal the ani-
mals, fell trees in our path, and in every possible
manner annoy us by night and i..y day..
" In consequence of this inforntation Captain
Marcy was sent back (Oct. 18) with tw:9 companies
to meet Col. Johnson, as we apprehende( that our
expresses might have been captured, arid it was
also decided that we should return and go into win-
ter quarters on Henry's Fork of Green River, As
the cattle and mules of the command were very
weak. Soon after Capt. Marcy had left two express I
men came into camp, bringing word from Brigham
Young, the purport of it being that he did not
blame theofficers and soldiers, as they were merely
tools in the hands of a corrupt Government, and
had to obey its orders, 4ze. He also advised us to
place all the women and children with the com-
mand in a train separate from the others, as he
wished, by all means, to spare them.
" In the evening two express men came in from
Colonel Johnson, who was at the last
crossing of
the Sweet Water, waiting for all the trains to come
up. He sent orders for our command to re-
turn to Green River, and there await . his arrival.
An express was sent recalling Captain Marcy, who
returned the next morning.
" We were visited by a severe snowstorm the
previous night, which continued until noon of the
following day. The snow fell to the depth of about
eight inches. Some 30 mules and horses died in
the night from the cold. The next day (Oct. 19)
we began our return march.
"On the evening of the 21st of Oct. one of the
waggon masters belonging to the ox trains was
taken prisoner by the Mormons while be was out
hunting cattle. The next evening about 30 Mor-
mons came to a hill near the camp, and sent in a
note by a teamster, whom they had taken prisoner
the previous evening, stating that they wished Col.
Taylor in exchange. Their request was not com-
plied with, and no answer returned.
" On the 26th an express came in from Colonel
Johnson, bringing the news that all but one of the
trains had arrived ; that the Dragoons were still
behind, but were expected up every day, and that
be would start on the 27th, and come directly t
Green River and Black's Fork, and we were
directed to return to that place and await his
arrival.
"On the 27th and 28th the command travelled
down the fork some 12 wiles.
