From the Na'ional Inteliia Modern Sodonl.

The publication of the recent order from the 1 department of war, putting in motion a large body ot troops on our weStern border, under the command of General Harney, has created a general impression that their ultimate destina- ton Is the Utah Territory, and that il indicates an intention on the part of th. government to put d"wn by Stro.g hand, the crimin al and dlsgraceluI outrages which have so long been committed hy Brigham Young and his band in the tan Valley and establish in that sink Of lmqmtv (by force if need be) the authority of the government and laws of the Unltel States Among those whose attention has be n arrested hv the army order Is a respectable citizen who lately spent twelve months iu the Salt Lake Valley, engaged in business connected with the traHst Of the mails through the Territory to and rom .he Pacific. While thus residing ii, the Mormon community he studied atteutivelv the Character and government of Brigham louh2, the supreme head, as we'll as the GUS toms, habits, morals, and laws of the commit hlty, II laws they may be called, which consist simply III the will of dcSput. This aentle- man, corroboratng fully all that Judge Drum mond has lately stated on the subj ct. has deemed It hlS duty to make known t. the coul- try the result of his own observations on the coalition oi thing, iu the Territory. Ia exc cntHlg tins task, however, he has not touched upon the domestic eGormjtes aud depraved s. cal system ot the community, hut has confined hlmsrIt to the political aspect of Mormon ism tp an exposition of the prity, power, evil pur pose, operations, and character of Young and his cod tutors ur tools. His statements are >tartlng and we concur entirely in the remark -ot Richmond contemporary that it is high tune that the government of the United States was directing its serious attention to the coudi ton of things in Ulah. Aid, if the revelations ot our correspondent be true, as we d. not doubt they are, 1t Is apparent that the day is rapd'y approaching, il 1t be not already come, when the government will find it no easy task to Subdue the rchellouS legiols of Brigham and 4ueil the power of the modern Mahomrt in his stronghold The communication of our cor reNpondent IS appended
 7o Me ElHors of the National MteMqencer:
 GENTLEMEN: From military order re centv published m your paper, l infer that a division of the UWted States army is to move into Utah. This news will be hailed with inv by thousands of American citizens in every State and territory of the confederacv who have sui tered directly or indirectly by the merciless out rage> ot the Mormons committed while quietly pursuing thelr tollsome journey overland to Oregon and California. Every indignitv has been offered to emigrants, every species of pro perty stolen, and every species of crime has been committed. The federal laws have been trampled ln the dust, government officials set at dehance, menaced, threatened and insulted lures have been influenced and the ends ot jus uce thwarted; the prlson-doors have been open ed and the criminals set free. All this did not sat'siy them, but they must enter the hall of records, and publicly burn the archives of the territory.
 Now, as evidence of their invetprate hatred to Americans and everything pertaining to America (and these sentiments are constantly taught and preached.) l will cite as follows:
 gentle shall not board in my family. and if one of my houses was rented to a gen ule after the time had expired would burn it down. hats the doctrine."
 Jeleliah M Grant
 " If a gentle were boarding in my family. and should bow down to pray, and the gen tile or heathen should hesitate, I would say to him, bow down. you devil. This is the doc trlne, and know it, and any man who shall oppose it shall be destroyed" ."- Hebey C. K1m- ball.
 Their religious tenets may be inferred from the following:
 "l believe in marrying brothers and sisters: believe III th' pre-existence of. man; that Adam aud Eve are the parents of all men spiritually and physically; that all the saints of this dlspensatun will be re>urrected by Joseph Smith, jr II ] am ever saved, expect to be saved by and through the atonement of Joseph Smith"
 B,fgham Young.
 "Were my daughter to marry a gentle would save her in this kingdom, namely, cut her throat from ear to ear"
 Brigham Young.
 Their advocacy of internal improvements may be inferred from the following:
 Mr. Lee who piloted the government troops through on that route (south side of Great Salt Lake) last spring (l854) wished to publish a book-a guide oi the route-but was prevailed on not to do it, as the Presidency there (Carson Valley) did not wish the emigration to pass that way"-EIter Johnson.
 Obi cts of missionaries: "Most of the fo- reign missionaries will be called home. They will be sent among all the Indian tribes to teach them agriculture, mechanic arts, and nai2itary tactics. ics."-Bngham Young.
 Means of defence: "We have the self-load ing twenty -four repeating rife, the Mimic rife, Browning's revolving five shooting rifle, Colts rife and ristol and a revolving cannon or field piece" e."-Ealer Iuns.
 All of the above named fire arms, powder, ball, etc., are in secret process of manufacture
