The New York Herald has a correspon-
dent at Salt Lake, who furnishes that pa
per an account ola general conferences Of
the heads Of the Church, We make The
following extracts from bis lengthy com
munication:-
You will perceive by the extracts from
the speeches ofthe Twelve, that we feel
first rate, though our enemies are like hun.
CRY wolves, waiting for the opportunity Of
devouring us, Their every movement is
known here in a few hours. There is a
regular line Of couriers established between
this city and the advance of the Eastern
expedition at the mouth Of Echo Canon; the
distance--ll3 miles--over that country, is
made inte hours regularly. On The ar
rival Of the courlers. the Governors Office
| is filled with anxious listeners, and for the
information Of the whole people the corres-
pondence with the Governor and the off,
GERS in command Of the troops, is read on
the Sabbath at the pulpit meetings.
Since conference President Taylor has
returned to the city, and, with President
Young, has sent letters to the officers Of the
army, inviting them 10 visit us during the
winter and get any information they may
require on the state of feeling here.
Should they come, they will be well re-
ceived, and that kindly, and find that every
portion of this community is determined to
strike Tor liberty. The sisters are, willing
10 work in the fields during the absence OF
their husbands, and it is expected Of every
man who is at home that his whole strength
and time will be devoted TO the benefit of
the families Of those who are in the expedi-
tion as well as for his own. During the
harvest the bishops have been charged with
the duty Of seeing the crops Of the absent
brethren brought in to their families, SO that
all things work tremendously. The public
works are stopped, and the brethren en-
gagged elsewhere. When once the SHOWS
are deep enough to hedge up the route and
render the watching Of the troops the work
only of few, we expect q general return
Of our brethren and many happy evenings
during winter. ''
Ihave never seen this people more uni
ted than at present. Women as well as
men are doing their utmost to contribute TO
the defence Of Zion. 1t fortunately happens
that the history OF Joseph Smith, which has
: been published in the Deseret News, in
weekly portions since the commencement of
that journal, contains now that portion oil
his history the most interesting to the
Saints--the days preceding his assassina-
ton. II anything had been wanting 10 de.
eide the Saints TO oppose the intrigues Of
the Government, who seek the overthrow
Of President Young and his brethren, this
: history would have supplied amply every
stimulus. 1t is scarcely possible 10 see q
person with the News, who does not fee
that the death of that man of God has yet ia
be a,oned for, and TO submit to be handled
:, again as we have been would lead to moth.
;, ling less than the destruction of his success
= or, and to this we shall never submit
though all earth and hell shall combine a.
i gainst us. For rather would we see the
= whole fraternity Of us laid on the altar-ont
great sacriflce-than see one hair Of his
head injured by sacrilegious hands Be
y fore they can lay hands upon him they will
. have 10 wade through scenes of blood o
which there is no parallel in history. w,
! shall not be the first TO shed blood, as tn,
y Lord has commanded His people to support
= all things, and TO suffer unto the shedding
:, of blood; but when that time has come, wo,
:. 10 them by whom that blood is she'd. anc
. woe to them who applaud and sustainthem
v We have lived on roots and cowhides
:, when we could find nothing better; we have
;, been asssiled by crickets and grasshoppers
y and seen want and misery stare us in thu
- face, and know just what we can endure
: These Affections we bore in humility as IN,
:, Christening hand of the Lord for our offences
~ We repented and turned TO the narrow way
.e and the Lord has blessed us with abundance
" but under the present difficulties our heart
> are light; we feel that the Almighty is witt
i us, and if now the time has come for Hin
= to be avenged on. His enemies, we ar
:. ready, and everything is ready. We hay,
=. 80 not sought this lime--t has come upon u
" years sooner than we expected il; but W
y know not if we could, in even having oil
= utmost desires, circumstances could be bet
u ter arranged than those in which we and OIL
enemies are now placed. Let The Saint
u, everywhere be faithful and obedient 10 thos
8 placed over them in the Lord, carrying on
- The counsels of the priesthood, earthly oh
y serving The laws of the land living abov
e. reprOaeh, and they will find the Lord wi
H. override all things for their good and saliva
