suspending the Bank of EngIand's charter,
and authorizing the issue of small notes to
any amount. The effect was an instantane-
Gus cessation of the panic. The news was
telegraphed to all the principal cities on the
continent, and was received with furious ac-

WASHINGTON, Nov. i7,-Brigham Young

the right to do so by virtue of his authority
ms Governor of the Territory and Indian Sa
perin.endent He expressly forbids the us.
troops entering the territory without his au-
thority. He complains that the Mormons
have not been treated as American citizens,
the object Of the misrepresentation on which
the Government acted, being to drive them
from the territory.
His language is so hostile that the Ad-
mlnistration regards it as a declaration of
war.
Col. Johnson writes from camp, on Sweet
Winter River, that |. is impossible for him to
communicate with Col. Alexander, who is
100 miles In advance of him. The road be-
tween them is beset with companies of Nor
mons.
The Secretary Of War thinks it impossible
TO send further men or supplies to the Utah
expedition until spring.
II is the general belief here that the troops
are in a critical condition.

Wells, the well known "minister at large,
of Boston, who is always engaged in works
of mercy and kindness, and literally like "the
Divine Master he serves, "going about do

Boston papers;
To the person Uho robbed the house Of The
Rev. DR.. Randall on Saturday last Al
though you are thief and robber, yet you
are my fellow creature. cannot but believe
that there is some place in your heart which
is unpetriied by wrong. The last place
which becomes hardened in mans heart is
the place where his mother has laid her hand.
You have or have had mother. Wrong ms
you are now you were then her darling boy.
Had you died then she would have remem-
bered YOU as such; she would have cut from
your then innocent head lock of your hair
and cherished il, and loved you in it. Such
lock of hair, SO intensely loved and treas-
ured, yo1 last Saturday stole from fond
and bereaved mother. Had you taken all
that was in the house and left the pin which
contained that hair, or the hair only, you
would not have caused her such suffering as
she has experienced since. Its loss has
brought on n severe nervous attack which is
painful even to be witnessed by others. |
call upon you as being vet something Of
man to restore that little lock of hair Re-
store it, and will pray God to bless you;
restore it, and you will'feeI that you have
yet left to you something which your moth
er gave you. Perhaps you can restore it in
letter; il not, return it personally to me, and
your secret will be safer with me than in
your own wrong hedrt.' ,.YH
