| MORE ABOUT THE MORMONS AND THEIR
NASSACRES.


Los ANGELES, Nov. 9, 1857.
All other subjects with US become ubimportant when
compared with the portion which the M ormons and
their Ildian allies 10 Utah have assumed Our latest
dates from Salt Lake the 9Th October. The
Deseret Netos contains the sermons OF Brigham Young.
Heber c. Kimbsn, Bishop Tsylcr and others. Aad
as it is BY me ais Of published sermons OF prophetic
declstious in the name of tue Lord" that the Nor
mon leaders instruct the world 10 their intentions II
car rot be denied that q safe OF war already ex,
ists that martial law prevails throughout Utah, and
Though tha. Territory. These sermons filed
with hatred C all that is American, and express de-
term TO resist any ard all attempts OF the Gov
eminent to exercise any jurisdiction over the Tern
tow So great is their trust in Joseph and ferocous
their fsnsticism, that according to their sermons,
they will RAE their towns and villages, burn
the grass and destroy everything that can afford sus.

airs and make predatory war with the Indians upon
al the world, sooner than su bnit to be governed by
any rules save those Of their choice. According
TO Brigham Young, he has been engaged ten yesr'
preparing for war. On his arrival In Utah, IN 1916,
he promised his followers that In ten years they should
defy the United States In arrns. The years are ac-
compEshed and be is now prepared TO light There
lie vein Of ferocious denuncahon OF Amerc6rs run
nrg through thore discourses that chils the blood
and taken in connection with the recent assacres
and oursges, clearly establish not only his completely
in Them but his determination to destroy all that comes
in his power. The war bow rages-civI war war
OF religious fansticsm-whch can only be hnshed oy
the determination of Mormopism from the csuntry.
There lie belief here that battle has already been
fought and much anxiety Is felt to learn the fate OF
the little army that was sent there. Since the arrival
of the mails, have had several reports inc icahng
serious things. One is that Gen. Harvey hsd joined
the army, and that, when Capt Van Vnet returned
with the message that they should not winter in Salt
Lake Valley, Gen. Hsrney replied that 4" he was or.
dered there and he would winter In the valley or In
hell" Another report lie, that Harvey had advanced
as far as Fort Bridgsr, and there encountered the
enemy, routing them and killing three hundred. The
general opinion s, that, ii this little army advanced
upon the settlements, il has b.en entirely cut Oh.
The emgrants recently arrived report that an eni
grant train had been entirely cut of on the MAsds
River on the other eide Of Bear River.
Arms and ammunition continue 10 be forwarded
from San Bernsrdino. The last mail rder took along
500 revolvers which passed through this city. They

BISHOP TINSEY AND THE cAHuILLS.

charged Nth tamperng with the Cshuils Indians at
San Gorgcnio, and rstg ating them against the Amer

that the old fellow is again at his tricks-that he

change has taken place 10 he Of the Indians
toward their white Deighbors. Old Juan Antonio has

years and it would require g powerful motive to
