Among the most important items have
to communicate at this writing, is one
touching the Kingdom OF sin al Salt Lake.
The facts which are developed seem too in
credible ior De lief, hut slDre learning them
tron the mouth OF one who vas SIX YEATS
ago a saint and President OF Mormon City,
and who Is sti.! IN correspondence with 81
doui, where they yet believe him 10 be one
OF The faithful, | have also learned from Col.
J. q -iather-in law OF Gru. '. T..
Howard, that nv Information is corrob'ra

My iniurmant-withw whom became ac-

tial reasons. designate as Mr.. B--Iecelves
his LETTERS by private hand, no letters being
intrusted by the MormOns TO the United
States Mail. He tells me that he knows
the Object of their leaders, Of whom Brig
ham Young is the supreme puwer-that 1t
i, to conquer the world ard bring every Ia
lion under their dominion, 2hvsicaflyi and
morally, which will be the Accomplishment,
OF a Uni milennium and peace univ rsal. But
the means Of this accomplishment are start
ing.
Every spring and fall, says my in formsnt,
a company Of "seventy are ordained" and
sent out to different psrts Of the globe
These seventies, of whom sky have al
ready gone forth as King
in all, thus far, four thousand two hundred
are known as destroying Angels" AMI
they go into the world without "purse OF
scris,' and are directed to seek such empluy-
ment is will best enable them 10 facilitate
the great work of their religion. A great
number are engaged in the fields of China,
and especially in the manufacture Of tea;-
into which, during their labors, they incor-
poraIe an insiduou<, but fatal poison. Others
are engaged in the same godlike O work,
in the manufacture of liquor ard tobacco;
which articles, together with scme Others,
are guarded against BY the faithful, who re-
ceive what is called by Brigham the sword
of wisdom" and Of course abstain from :he
use oi The interdrcted artic les.
These poisons are of various kinds. Some
are 81 slow that long periods eiapss before
they take effect, while al the same time
their fatality may be precipita'ed by the ad-
mixture of other poiSons.
One poison within the knowledge and
possession of Brigham, possesses qualities
that remain inert in the human system for
years before Its fatal consequences are de-
veloped.
In.s may seem TO partake largely Of hum
bug, in the opinion of scientific and medi-
Cal men, and its poss ibility may be houted q.
Brigham. indeed, may be complimented up
on his skill in some grand tea and tobacco
speculation, or in working out Of the tenn
perance reformation Indeed, he says that
the public will not believe such story, be-
cause OF its, improbability; that he don't
care whether they believe it or mol; that he
don't care if three-fourths of his people
at Salt Lake should leave him-one-fourth
is sufficient to. o.cousummste his work when
ever he chooses to put his power in opera
ton, and that the United States will be the
first TO feel, and most severely, the effects.
Mr.. B. tells sue that Uncle Sans troops
will be received with open arms and with
The greatest hosp .tality and kindness by
Mvrmons at Salt Lake; but not one of them
will ever gel away. from there. Brigham in

SIX years ago Mr.. B entered the suburbs
o. that heathen metropolis, and the day be-
fore the arrival there o! his company he met
twelve NJ ssjonaries, some of whom were
his personal acquaintances from the Allan
tic States, and it was from them ne learn
ed the missi m of the "DestrOving Angels
and the "Ddntes."
Immediately upon entering the city
which was about ten o'clock in the eve
ning-Brigham Yrung came out to the
street, in his nighttress, wearing a broad
brimmtd black nat, to observe the company
newly arrived There was at this mcment
a man named Hyel Savage, from Ken'utkr
or Missouri, walking up and down the street
cursng and shifting his fists together,
suying that only six weeks ago he had come
to this place with young wife and two
children, and now that id Brigham
Young had made her one OF his strumpels:
thot he was going to leave the cursed place
for California. Brigham, peering out from
under his hat, observed him, and hai!ing
him, said: "Thus saith the Lord, before tie
sun shall rise aud set three times, thou
shalt be lying under the sod" Mr.. B.,
hearing this prophecy, thought he would
watch for its iulfillment, when. sure enough
on the very next day, the young man, Siv-
age, was dead and buried. His body, in ev.
cry par, was swollen TO its full extent. Mr..

own inference. The "Danites'' are a BODY
