At the starting of the expedition for Utah, with
the certainty that unless the Mormons caVeu III Tue
Territory in kind consideration for the well-beng
of the unoflcnding, many proposltlons were held
out for Brpham's consideration-such as migration
to Sonora, Vancouver and Mexico. One OF the Ell
ders taking the hint, FASTENED to Mexico, and find
inc the land everything that is desirable, with a
sparse population, free from prejudices against po-
lvgamv. sends on a warm invitation to the 'athers
of the church to turn their attention south. As it
is thought there is probability that the migration
movement now started in Utah may lead further
than the White River Mountains, we give the e.
dcrs report sent to the authorities of the church,
Nec York Herald.
GUADALUPE Y CALvo,
CHIHUAHUA, MEXICO, Dec D. 1857.
As providential occasion presents itself | feel
compelled in the threatening aspect of affairs, to
write to you, among other authorities and advisers
of the people, to point out refuge, in case the
fathers of the church should think best not to
await the down rush of the storm of despotic Gen
tile force and way of escape, If, having awaited
it, they find themselves overpowered in the conflict.
For L presume not to advise those who have age
and experience in Zion and long communion with
the Spirit, but to afford information; and Provi
dcnce has apparently sent me in advance to spy out
the land, herein undertake to give such lnforma-
ton as my eyes have gathered, and such as | have
received in conversation from others concerning it,
to inform the leaders of Gods people of the safe
retreat and unassailable refuge and mountain of
strength that | have discovered for them, secure
from the hosts of Babylon.
Here are tracts of fertile land, covered with
timber rank grass on the summit of the sierras
unoccupicd, unowned, awaiting the advent of the
industrious settler Here are vast forests of
gigantic pines, probably the most resnous
and, therefore, the most durable in the world
Here are numberless springs of pure unfailing
H..
green stone and porrhyry. Here is climate pro
badly the most temperate in the world, where the
temperature in the shade, according to observation
does not vary more than ten degrees in the course
of the year, and where epidemic disease is scarcely
known. Here is soil, for mountainous country
cXuberant in fertility, from the very crevices of
whose rocks a fourshing vegetation shoots where
all species of grain of the temperate climates have
never been known to fail, and oats is a perennial
plant and grows sometimes high as a man on
horseback; whose rugged mountain ranges cannot
for mineral wealth, especially for the precious
metals, be exceeded, or perhaps equalled by any
in the world; against whose mountain Businesses all
the armies in the world would operate in vain.
Or if Il warmer climate and more level ground be
preferred there is vast tract of most fertile land
close by here the Bolson de Mapimi, comprised in
three States, cmbosomed among mountains, wa
tered by streams which fall into three large and
several small lakes without outlet; territory the
counterpart of Utah. but more extensive occupied
by none but legitimate, though outcast brethren of
the church-wanderng tribes of Indians. Here is
government loudly calling for settlers receiving
negro colonists in the South rather than none un-
able to defend itself from enemies external or inter
nal, and granting powers to individuals to bring
colonists into the country, paying them dollar a
head; but would think it best to come on without
any ceremony. Here is a sparse population, char
table and hosptable, tolerant to ALL and practical
~ addicted even the priests to the most invidous
of our tcnets, polygamy. Here is religious svs-
TEN having but little hold the affections of the
people, already tottering and divided by incipient
SchiSm.
Here is no plague of grasshoppers Fathers in
Zion, leaders of the hosts of Israel, let my feeble
voice prevail with you despise not the humility of
your informant Providence, and that Spirit of
which we all share portion, has surely led me hth-
or to work out the purposes of God. Come on with
your people, or at least the fresh arrivals in body,
before Babylon again grasps your home from you as
she did Utah. God is my witness how my heart
yearns for Zion; how long to see cher walls length
cncd, and her cords strengthened" and to see her
rise above the domination of Babylon. Send on, if
you think proper, one or two of your confidential
agents to investigate the truth of this report and
my own services are at your command. Adieu.-
May the fullncss of the Spirit be your guide
Yours, in Christ, w. H.
