Brigham will destroy Salt Lake as soon as the troops
approach it, they have already burned the north

ish Possessions would be some 100 or 800 miles,
brigham, however, seems to be prepared for his
own escape in an emergency having kept a herd
of some fifty sixty superior mules, belonging to
the church, in fine condition down in San Pete V al
ley. 1872 mules south of Salt Lake, and in the neigh
borhood, to which he has conveyed his spirituals.-

Mr.. James states that Gov. Cummings Mormon
guard, when he visited Provo consisted of Howard
Egan, John Kay, Fayette Worthen, David Cand-
land, VIM. kemble and Col. Kane. In view OfsuCh
details as these, it would seem difficult to doubt
that the Governor was mistaken in supposing his
own movements in the Valley to have been entire
~ free OF espionage and restraint. just after the
Governor left Provo, John Young, brother of the
prophet, in a ''sermon" preached at Spanish Fork,

uneasy about leaving their homes but to go on with
their improvements, in the faith that the army would
never interrupt them. ''If we give them Salt Lake

The company of emigrants from Salt Lake CITY

just outside the picket lines. Most of them are O

are unanimous in the declaration that the United

and that if protection should be afforded to then
