THE MORMONS

BRIGHAM YoUNG's OFFER OF SALT TO COLONEL
JOHNSTON.
The fact that Colonel Johnston declined pres
emit of quantity of salt, sent him by Brigham
Young for the use of the army, has been already
stated. Brigham's letter accompanying the gift
has not been published. 1t was as follows:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
GREAT SALT LAKE Cry, U. IT,, Nov. &c, 1857. !
Col A. g. Johnston, Z. S. A., IF he has arriped on
Blocks Fork, or Col E. b. Alexander, .. s. A.
SIR: Being reliably informed that your command,
and the men belonging to the merchant trains, are
much in need of salt, have taken the liberty to at
once forward you a load (some eight hundred
poundsl by Messrs. Henry Woodland and Jesse j.
Earl. lou are perfectly welcome to the salt now
sent, but should you prefer making any compensa-
uon therefor, have to request that YOU inform me-
under sealed envelope, of the weight received and
the amount and kind of compensation returned.
There IS no design or wish to spy out your posi-
ton, movements or Intentions through the men
now sent to your camp; but should you entertain
any dubety upon that point, you are at perfect lib
erty to stop and detain them outside your encamp-
ment during the short time necessary for the dev-
cry OF their loading, in readiness to forthwith start
upon their return.
Should any in your command be suspicious that
the salt now forwarded contains any deleterious in
gradients, other than those combined in its natural
deposition on the shore of the Great Salt Lake,
Mr.. Woodland, or Mr.. Earl in charge of its
transportation and delivery, or doubtless Mr.. Iiv
ingston, Mr.. Garrish. Mr. Perry, or any other per-
son IN your camp that is acquainted with u.s. will
freely partake of it to dispel any groundless suspi
con or your doctors may be able to test it to your
satisfaction.

which have long since been exploded the President
has no more regard for the Constitution and laws
of the United States, and the welfare of her loval
citizens, than he has for the Constitution laws and
subjects of the kingdom of Beelzebub
of the persons reported to be retained by YOU as
prisoners the two who said to have hailed from
Oregon, are entire strangers to u.s. Mr. Grow, on
his way here from the States, is probably treated
by you in a reasonably humane manner, for which
you have my thanks, it saves us the expense of
his board and if you imagine that keeping mis-
treating or killing Mr. Stowell will rebound to your
credit or advantage, future experience may add to
the stock of your better Judgment.
Col. Alexander, | am informed that among the
mules that have come into settlements, is small
white one belonging to you and favorite of yours.
The mule in question arrived in poor condition,
and learning it was favorite with you, gives me
pleasure to inform you, that l Immediately caused
the mule to be placed in my stables where it is well
led and cared for and is held subject to your ORDER
put should you prefer leaving it in my care during
the winter it will probably be in better plight for
your use upon your return to the East in the Spring
Trusting that the bearers of welcome and
frankly profered gift will be courteously received
and permitted, with their animals and wagon, to
peacefully start upon their immediate return,
nave the honor to remain, very respectfully, your
obedient servant

AN ADVENTURE IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.-After
mad taken my seat one morning, at Paddington in
an empty carriage, l was joined, just the train
was moving off, by strange looking young man,
with remarkably long flowing hair. He was of
course, little hurried, but he seemed. besides to
be so disturbed and Wild that was quite alarmed
ior fear OF his not being right in his mind nor did
ms subsequent conduct at all re-assure me. Our
train was an express, and he enqured eagerly, at
once, which was the first station whereat we were
advertised to stop. | consulted nv Bradsha,c and
furnished him with the required information 1t
was Reading. The young man looked at his watch.
Madam, said he, 81 have but half an hour between
me and, it may be, ruin. Excuse, therefore, nv
abruptness. You have, perceive, pair of scissors
IN your workbag. Oblige, if you please, by cutting
off all my hair" "Sir" said l. at is impossible.
Madam" he urged, and look of severe determi-
nation crossed his features, 81 am desperate man.
beware how you refuse me what | ask. Cut nv
halr of-short, close to the roots-immediately :
ana here newspaper to hold the ambrosia curs'
thought he was mad, of course; and believing
that 1t would be dangerous to thwart him, | cut off
all his hair to the last lock. ''Now, Madam said
ne, unlocking small portmanteau, "you will
further oblige me by looking out of window, as |
am about to change my clothes" Of course l
looked out of window for very considerable time
and when he observed, ''Madam, need no longer
put you to any inconvenience" did not recognise
the young man in the least. Instead of his former
rather gay costume he was attired in black and
gray wig and silver spectacles; he looked like a.
respectable divine of the Church of England. of
about GA years of age; to complete that character
ne held volume of sermons in his hand, which,
they appeared so to absorb him-might have been
his own.
81 do not wish to threaten you, young lady," be
resumed, and 81 think, besides, that I can trust
your kind face: Will you promise not to reveal
TINS metamorphosis until your journeys end?'' 81
VIII, SAID L, "most certainly At Reading the
guard and person in plain clothes looked into our
carriage ',You have the ticket, my love-, said the
young man, bandly, and looking at me as though
he were my father ''Never mind, Sir; we don't
want Them" said the official, he withdrew his
companion, 81 shall now leave you, Madame" OBJ
served my fellow-raveler as soon as the coast was
clear; Shy, you, kind and courageous conduct you
have saved my life, and perhaps even your own"
In another minute he was gone and the train was
in motion Not till the next morning did I learn
from Ihe Times newspaper that the gentleman on
whom had operated as haircutter had committed
forgery to an enormous amount in London a few
hours before met him, and that he had been track
ed into an express train from Paddngton, but that
although the telegraph had been put in motion
the train was searched he was nowhere to be found.
