plctcly covered over with rock roof.
The Mormons are making great preparation
for defending all the passes TO the valley, and
are manufacturing small cannon with percussion
locks, and telescope sights. These cannon car
nv n two pound ball, and from their peculiar
construction will do execution at distance of

ton of mines, by which they expect to be able
to blow up train without any risk themselves.
The MOrmons and some of the picket guards
of Col JohnSon's command, have had IL Skin
nish, in which the Mormons lost two killed and
five wounded, and he says that it is reported
that four Of Col. Johnson's men were killed.
He also reports that Col. Johnson's mules and
oxen are nearly all dead and that it is believed
by the MOrnons that johnson will not have a
"hoof'' alive in the spring.
Brigham Young breaches upon the subject of
the war every Sunday. He says that Brigham
is willing for Coy. Cumming and the civil Off
GERS to come into the Territory and enter upon
the duties of their offices; but if the army at
tempts 10 enter the valley, they win every one
be cut off
On the oath of January, the day before Mr.
Wingate left the city, Brighac. preached to over
nine thousand people, and after TIE sermon he
requested all who were in favor of giving the
troops h-ll, in case they attempt to enter the
valley, to raise up-eyery man, woman and
child rose up. Now, said Brigham, Il am sat
isficd: The Lord is with us, and il we deter
mine of one accord to give the troops hi the
powers on the earth and hell cannot prevail over
US, for have it revealed to me that not IL blade
of grass, or other green thing will be left on the
plains for the support of the beasts of our enc
mics. Nebraska, Kansas Iowa and Missouri
will be left desOlate, and n famine will prevail
over the land of our enemies Brethren be of
cheer, God is with us, and hell cannot prevail
against us
We could not learn upon what business Mr..
Wingate was dispatched from the city, but have
no donbt, but he has important business with
the MorInOns in the States, which will be made
manifest in due time" .7oifilifas.s 1850
