AT SALT LAKE.
lFrom the Deseret News July 2cl
The preparation Of the reporters minutes for the
press not being forthcoming, will necessarily delay
cur going into the detail Of the proceedings Of this
to say, never did day dawn upon this valley more
gratefully nan that Of Thursday last, take it in all
its minutin. The approach Of the rising king Of
day was hailed by the roar of cannon, and the still
ness of the morning was broken BY the moving Of
the mammoth arrisge of the Nauvoo brass band,
sci dirg forth the wings of the morning its SUBJ
lime strains Of ma rtial and cheering music and the
citizens Of Great Salt Lake City shot forth from
beauty, concentrating towards the scene Of a con-
gregated 9bropg of life, where the ebullitions Of
Joy, the ofhealth the glances of intelligence,
and the combined feelings OF an united and re-
deemed people, shed o lustre OF glory through all
the congregsted saints of the Most High.
The order of the day was kept up by the firing Of
cannon one hundred and ten times; the organiza-
ton and paIading Of streets by an escort consisting
of the Nauvoo Brass Band, the Military Band, the
Pioneers of AZ, the Regency, the aged fathers,
young lads, followed by mothers in Israel; young
girls, young men and young women, the Pre- siden.
cy, with the officers of State formed the escorted
forming phalanx Of the com bined wisdom and
strength Of the kingdom Of God in the las. days
The numerous flags and banners, the various en-
blems Of art, agriculture, and industry, and the
dents residence to the Bowery, could only be sur
passed in the armies Of heaven.
The bursts Of feeling, by music singing, speeches,
oraticns, toasts, the order Of arrangement during
exquisite calculation of the most fastidious, and
was unsurpassed by any preceding it among the
most refined and civilized nations on the earth.
Here was the power Of truth, the literature OF
Gods spirit, and eloquence of apostles the laws Of
the kingdom Of heaven, the songs of Zion, sung not
in q strange land, and the harps hung, not on the
willows the beauty and ornament Of the beau ideal
Of mans exstence-the ladies Of Deseret-the hero
ism Of the valiant Of the eirth and the enjoyment
Of the Injuries and productions Of consecrated
land in all its richness and proflson, and the en-
joyment of cententment.
The evening closed by ball in the Lords store
house. given to the band and the men who work on
the public works; though crowded, did not detroct
from the enjoyment of the occasion as the light
fantastic toe tipt, the buoyan spirits of the merry
dance, and the loneliness of female beauty glitter
ed forth in the pleasurable mazes Of the dance
The musicians, always ready to take off the keen
edge OF the sorrows OF prosecuted people, and pour
into wounded hearts the healing balm Of music's
hottest strains, were present and participated in
enhancing the joys of the builders-up of the walls
of Zion.
The closing shades of evening came over the
city without the alloy of airy accidents to mar the
proceedings of the hallowed day. No curses of
drinking rabble, no feelings Of an ignorant or iea-
lous gory, 10 efusion of party strife, but all that
could elevate the mind of man and add 10 the en-
joyments Of social and civilized community
