TIE LEGEND OF THE WANDERING
JEW.

A wild and terrible legend is that of
the middle ages. which personiGes the
Jewish nation by the traits of the Wan
dering Jew. 1t represents an old man
with naked feet, uncovered head, and
long white beard, wandering carelesssly
over the earth. His face is pale, a
mark of blood is upon his forehead, his
eyes burn like sapphires beneath their
'oblique lids. WITH an eagle nose and
'bloodlike lips. squalid and harsh in fea
tures, and clad in coarse wooden gown,
he ever pursues, with staff in hand. his
interminable journey. Speaking all Ian
guages and trayersing all lands. knowing
not The purposes of God concerning him.
self, and ever driven onward by secret
impulse, he is transported from place to
place with the speed of the wind; and as
the long centuries come successfully to a
close, his old age renews itself with the
vigor Of youth in order that he may
complete the weary round of ages. The
people wonder as he hastens on. Once
or twice only he paused TO tell his story.

The War Department to-day received Off

miles below the mouth OF Hams Fork Nov.
9th. Col. johnson states that Col. Smith,
with his command and the numerous trains
guarded by il, reached there on the 81 of No
veinber. their march was slow and tedious
averaging eleven miles day. Although the
road Was excellent and the weather fine 1t
was impossible to make more rapid progress
on account OF the bro zen down condition OF
the draft animals of the trains, including the
settlers and merchants destined for Salt
Lake, which lie would not allow to 90 on
They were concentrated in as close order as
they could be made to travel in space Of
hv, or six miles.
No mOleStatiVn whatever was attempted by
the Mormons, which may be attributed to
the presence Of the cavalry. and the judieious
dispositions aud vigilance of Col. Smith.
On the 9Th OF November Col. johnson was
to march on Fort Bridger and dislodge any
force he might find there, and also await The
approach Of Col. Cook, when, as the APP
preach Of winter was too near to attempt the
passage Of the Wasach range OF mountains,
with probability OF success, he would seize
upon the district mentioned in his letter from
South Pass and occupy it until TN advance
shall be practicable.

lativc Assembly OF the last session show. he
says, matured ami settled design on the part

rltory independent and irrespective of the

titude OF rebellion and open defiance TO the

acts OF treason, Col. johnson has ordered tina

Should long time elapse without hearing

tributable only to the difficulty of sending
expresses across the mountains during the
winter months. The officers ard men are in
fine health, and are animated with an arden,
desire to discharge their duties faithfully.
In u postscr 1T, Col. johnson says that the
army made one days march since the fifth
