q Gov. Younk delivered discourse to the Saints,
on the 27thlof June, from which we make a few
extracts bellw. The Governor, speaking Of the
report which had prevailed in the States, to tho
effect that hS had defed the government, says:
'.Thcre is one statement which have already
made in thisstand twice or thrice, but will now
make it again before our Delegate, for it has caus-
sd him much trouble. 1t has been reported in
tho United States that Brigham should have said
that the President Of the United States could not
remove him from his Office. will repeat what
did say, as nearly as my memory will serve me.
Exhortiny the Brethren and Sisters, said, ''do
not be alarmed, neither let your hearts sink with
in you, or BIO worried in tho least with regard to
new Governors coming to this Territory, for the
Lord Almighty will preserve your present Govern
or unto you as long as he pleases and no power
can hinder. And If it is his will to remove the
present Governor. know ye that it will be for the
hest.' .Ht-.. ..if .'.I 70
This is tho spirit Of what said, if not the exact
words; and say SO now. President Pierce has
been in power long enough to try the experiment;
and there have been many to influence him to re-
move the Governor of this Territory from Office.
Is it done? 1t is not though we nearly thought
it twas when Col Steptoe received tho appointment;
but the Lord operated upon the Colonel to contin-
nc his march to California. lie received his
commission; but he would not b. qualified.-
There were many applicants for Office; but they
have not yet got it, and the Lord can battle them
as long as he plcascs. He turns the hea is of
men when they know it not and the mysterious
workings of Providence among the people they do
not understand. lie rules in their midst, and con-
trolls the nations of the earth according to his will
and pleasure so he does in this case, and will
continue to do, just rs long seemeth him good
When he wishes another Governor here, the pro-
per person will be on hand until then, there is
no power beneath the heavens that can simply re.
move the present Governor of Utah, much
less than the loyal people who inhabt these
mountains. ...,.,.f

a malignant character, indicating lack of mate
rial for the disease to feed upon.

The steamship America arrived at Halifax on

Nothing new had transpred at the seat of war;
The Russians had destroyed their entire feet, leav
ing nothing afoat.
The London Post says the English loss in the
assault on the Redan five to six hundred kill
ed and fourteen hundred wounded, including one
hundred and forty-one officers.
The Monteur says that up to the morning of
the lth 1880 wounded, including 24n officers,
had gone to the ambulances. The number of tho
dead was not asccrtained, but it is probably short
of 1000. .rH
The Paris correspondent of the London Times,
writes that five French generals were killed, be-
sides ten superior officers.
1t is also affirmed that Generals AIcNIahon and
Frocher, have died from the effects of wounds,
and that General Bosquct is either killed or
wounded.
Pelcssicr has heen created u Marshal of France
and Paris completely illuminated on account of
the victory.
\ grand National Te Deum was celebrated at
the church of Notre Dame, the Emperor attending
in person.
Queen Victoria has sen address of thanks to
her army, and directs General Simpson to con-
graduate Marshall Pc!essier on his brilliant vic
tory.
Throughout France and England the rejoicing
is immense.
Paris correspondence says Pelessier has tele-
graphed for instructions, in case Gortschakoff
should ask to caritulate. The reply, as reported
is. in substance, that the Russians must surrender
lc., Al.
all the fortified places in the Crimea, including
Odessa, aud all their amunitions of war, without
doing any previous damage thereto. But Gorts-
chakotf has not yet asked for terms.
The Russian paper, The Brussels Nord, says
the resolution of Prince Gortschakoff exhibits the
energy of great commander. 1t saves Russia
from an inextricabe position into which false
Interpretation of point of honor would have
thrust her. The Russian army concentrated
north of Scbastopo, will hcnceforth have that
unity of movement and action which until now it
has wanted. The ScbastOpol of the South is re-
placed by Sebastopol of the North--a formidable
position. bristling with innumerablc guns, which
a compact army henccforth will defend. Impair
tial history will do justice TO Prince Gortschakoff,
who by making momentary sacrifice, end av old
ing useless cGuson of blood. has preserved for
Russia an army trained to war by struggle of a
years duration, and placed that army in posi-
ton which enables him to command the situation.

FEMALE SocIETY.-No society is more profita-
