! Later from Utah ! I

tleS OF the DeSeret News up to the 9TH OF October
had been received in San Francisco previous to the
sailing Of the steamer. At Salt Lake City they were
in daily expectation Of hearing that hostilities had
taken place between the Normons and the United
States troops aud there appears to be no doubt that
the former are firmly determined to fight II out.
A Mr.. Aiken publishes statement IN the Los An
geles Star of what be observed while on the way
from Missouri to Los Angeles, vis Salt Lake. He
says that the mountains between Salt Lake and
Fort Bridger swarmed with armed Mormons and the
Indian allies and their intention was to carry on
guerrilla warfare. He says :: - ,s. .s 4. a.
We learned from Dr. Dunions surgeon to Brigham
Young's army, that they had taken q vote at Salt
Lake city, that if the United States army forced its
way into Utah they themselves would burn their city,
towns forts, etc. and lay every habitation in ashes
That they had already picked out places in the
mountains to cache their provisions. and make
their future abode with the Indians. The Doctor
said that arrangements were already entered into
that provided the army should enter the settlements
every city, town and village in the States of Caor
mia, Missouri and Iowa should be Immediately burned;
that they had to do this who were not known TO
be Mormons And that they would cut off all the
emgrant trains, army stores, stock, etc. that no
man. woman child should hereafter cross the plains
without being scalpedl That they depended upon
and expected the Indians to perform this infernalan
cowardly part of their designs
The sermons delivered by Brigham Young and his
doghty elders wax richer and richer as the day OF
peril approaches We select few choice specimens

Addressing the congregation, he said sa'' Y9S1sh

religion, all will be well and have told you that if

1t has been asked, have you counted the cost p
Yes, for ourselves but cannot begin to count it for
our enemies 1t will cost them all they have in this
world and will land them in hell in the world to come,
Wntle the only uOuDe Will Is tuAt we nave Two or
three times more men than we need for using up all
who come here to deprive US of our rights If
the troops are now this side of Laramie, remember
that the Sweetwater is this side of that place. They
must have place to winter for they cannot come
through here this season. We could go out and use
them up, and 1t would not require fifty men to do it.
But probably shall not have occasion take that
course for we do not want to kill men. They NAV
winter in peace, at some place east Of US but when
spring comes they must go back to the States or at
any rate they must leave the mountains. ;t74, =5-
In the following elegant and highly figurative
terms Elder Kimball informs his congregation that
President Buchanan has got himself in fix:
We commenced last Sunday to declare that we are
free people, and we will be free from this day hence
forth and forever and we never will come under that
yoke again. tell you, as my soul lives, the bowpin
has dropped out Of old Bright bow and the bow has
dropped out and the yoke is now on old Buck-anans
neck.
The Deseret News of October Z, says: l5,.5-
We have sought for peace all the time, and have
yielded ground to our enemies until we have been
driven into the Businesses of the mountains, and we
not going to be again driven by Internal robbers
no matter in what guise they may come. A wanton
usurpation of power by those who have done moth
ing for the Mormons," but all they could against
them is too yrannical to be tamely endured forever
for the spirit thereof is bondage and the end thereof is
DEATH and it is far preferable to die eeen than to
live and die slaves in land whose constitution and
constitutional laws guarantee freedom to such as will
be free And though our nation has now arrived at 3
period when man risks his life in advocating the
cause of justice and innocence and though earth and
hell oppose and howl, that cause will prevail.
Our enemies-the enemies of TRUTH peace, virtue
and the Unon-are now openly and indsputably
arrayed under the black banner of despotsm while
we as ever upon the side of local government
OF repubhcanism and of every principle that tends to
peace happiness, salvation and exutaton, both here
and hereafter, trusting in the help of the Almighty
and the aid of all good in every cline, fearless
OF the final result and prepared if need be- to warmly
welcome all mobocrats to the possession OF naked
rocks, arid plains and blackened desolation.
