tbey are divided into peace and war parties,

latter. lie speaks of Brigham fo1ng as a man
Of great perseverance, intellect and experience,
and withalvested with authority to announce
the terrors awarded those who sin against the
Holy Ghost There is, says Gov. Cumming,
division in the ranks of the Mormons, all fearing
Young, while many hate him, because OF the
pacific measure with which he is charged Gov.
Cumming plainly says that his chief hope Ct con-

and that if anything should happen to thwart
his Cummings efforts to avert the Perlls OF
collision between the army and the AormfG mons
the country may reasonably expect a gusrilla
war of several years duration, and at an expense
of many millions of dollars, while the war would
