IoLo rytv After twelve weary months OF travail,
n, r,,s;on is accomplished, and whatever laurels
ore 70 he gained in an expedition of this Sort he
has won them by his energy, prudence, circum-
snectiop and forethought. He has fought no bat
tles with the enemy; but many with the elements,
and he has exercised so careful supervision over
the forces under his command, as to maintain the
discipline of the service and preserve the health OF
his men in high condition. So far, therefore, as
he is concerned he has every reason to be satisfied
with having done his duty. For the rest:
HGreat actions are not always true sons
OF Great and mighty resolutions;
Nor do the boldest attempts bring forth
Events still equal to their WORTH
In spite of the imposing demonstration we have
made, and the lavish expenditure which has been
a consequence of that demonstraeon, the question
is still a pertinent one-t'Afe the Mormon troubles
at an end?n We know that Governor CUNNING
is at the capital ofhs province ready to enter upon
his pro-Consular duties; that Judge ECKoLs is at
hand prepared, nay anxious, TO try such offenders
as may be brought before him, and that the Gov
ernor, and the Judge, and the Peace Com.nis-
soners are at perfect liberty TO enjoy the sweets of
solitude, and an uninterrupted view of the Wasatch
mountains, for in all Salt Lake City, 'there is no
man to trouble them or to make them afraid" -
1t must be confessed that the Mormons not a
hospitable people, or they would, at least have
tarried long enough in the City to welcome the
Gentiles who had encountered the pers of the
wilderness for the express purpose of paying them
a visit of coincidence and of friendly admonition;
but
GLOW Saints lead brothers by the nose,
Is plain enough to him that knows"
Still, it was cruel in them to nail up the Win
dows and fasen the doors of their dwelling, and
to vanish into space at the approach of party of
leg-weary officials leaving them to camp out in
the deserted streets and to enquire of each other in
blank despondency-
''What may gentleman find to do"
Governor CUNNING sitting in his tent, or under
a wagon cover like Patriarch of old, has address
ed proclamation to the chursh fugitves, assuring
them of full and unreserved pardon for past
offences, and inviting them to return and resume
their occupations within the shadow of the Lion
House, and in the vicinity of the Temple-that
marvel of Norman architecture-whose foundation
walls are said to be twenty feet in thickness. The
Saints have generously accepted the pardon, but
have respectfully declined to comply with the in
vitation. They have no objection they say, to the
civil functionaries; but they have decided repug-
nance to the ''men of war; by whom those func-
tionaries are accompanied. The petticoat clement
of Mormondom appears to be the principal source
of difficulty and in view of their peculiar marital
relations, BRIGHAM You've, astute and crafty, and
his chief adviser KIMBALL-

seize the first opportunity that offers, to declare
that

from the damaging effects of legal inquisition,
they have put forty miles of space between their
wives, and quasi-wives, and Gentle temptations;
keep close watch and ward over that ''stake in
Zion," called Provo City, and respectfully solicit
permission to evnce their obedience 10 the Federal
authorities by having as little to do with them as
possible. Now, there is no doubt that so long Is
two bodies remain at a considerable distance from
each other they cannot possibly come into COLI
sion; but Governor CUNNING wants something
more than q simple acknowledgement of his
authority; he wants to exercise jurisdiction. He
was sent out to govern the people of Utah,
and it is certainly very provoking, that they should
pack up their goods and chattles retreat south

Mormons should insist upon reducing the Execu-
