Capt Van Nliet of Gen. Harney's staff visited
Salt Lake city, on the Sth of September, and was
vel! received. An official dinner was given in his
honor by lIeberC Kimhall and he had daily inter
views with Brigham Young and the other dignita-
rioS OF the Mormon Church. The correspondent
of the New York Tribune gives some account of
that visit:
On Sunday, September l3, Captain Van VIiet was
asked to attend religious services in the Bowery.
aGd was escorted TO prominent seat upou the
platform, and Invited to make an address, which

qucsted all present who belonged TO the two latter
classes to raise their hands and about three-fourhs
