BOSToN, April :, 1871
You will be glad to learn that We are enjoying a
special Revival of Religion here, just now. think
it quite time that the religion Of this day
yiyed, after the damage it received from the slave
catching sermons and complances of nearly all the
eminent ministers and saints. of all the principal
brands, at the time of the first prevalence of the
Websteromania and of its fatal results in carrying
off not merely Mr.. Webster but poor Sims and
Burns into the bargain. 4 season of refreshing is
surely essential after such dirty treatment, to
store il to the strength and purity Of the days when
the ministers and professors clothed in il set forth lie
their homies and lives the duty of obcying God
rather than man, and of setting wicked laws at de-
fance, instead OF making them the Appendix TO the

hminary Of the First Magnitude. The story goes
that he has been prayed for in public in the most
personal and direct manners and also, that PRAYER

The report that Brigham Young had fed from

the contrary, at the time of the last aJvces, be
had succeeded in cxpelling from the Territory
every man who did not hold communion in the
Mormon faith, including all the officials of tho
United States Government. Thus the Territory
is given over entirely to the autocrato sway of
this MAINLAND all who do not acknowledge his
authority are at once disposed of either by be-
ing murdered, or being compelled TO flee the
country.
tits further reported that hc has made prepa-
rations for u hostile resistance TO the new officers
of the Territory which the President proposes
TO despatch there, and to the two thousand Uni
ted States troops which Gen. Harvey has been
directed to march against them. 1t thus appears
that Young has accepted the arbi,ramcnt of war
and we therefore trust that it will be waged to
the bitter end. Nothing short Of the sword will
