Brigham YOung's Opinion of Buchanan

The correspondent of the Times gives
the following extract from a sermon OF
Brigham Young to the Saints in the Bow
cry, at Provo, on the 9th:
"What is the present situation of af-
fairs For us the clouds seem to be
breaking. Probably many of you have
already learned that General Johnston
passed through Great Salt Lake City,
with his command under the strictest
discipline. Not house, fence or side
walker has been infriDged upon by any of
his command.
1--WE told Commissioners Powell and
McCulloch that we believed President
Buchanan would fulfill his words when
his own interest prompted him so to do.
"Here the Prophet became excited, and
burst into TRADE against President b.
chanan, calling HIM drirelling old dotdrd,
whose own party allow he should have
been President twenty-five years ago,
when he had little sense about him, if
ever. But the Saints did not court war.
They preferred peace if it could be had,
and they had made it. They were will
ing that "the world" should have the
shadow of the sentiment, provided the
Saints had the substance, as he maintained
they had. He cared nothing for his own
name. He cared not if they trampled it
under foot, but he had told them " don't
trample me under foot, for if you do,
you'll have trouble" Great laughter.
Gen. Johnston will soon repair to win
ter quarters. When that is done and we
get the news good and solid that there
are no more troops coming here, we will
believe that the government means peace,
Just as their commissioners have told us,
and will go to our homes again. and have
no more trouble during this King; for,
my word for it, if old Buck ever gets his
foot out of this serape, he 'CU never put Il
IN again.
PERSONAL APfEARAHCE OF BRIGHAM YOUNG.
A Utah correspondent gives the follow
ing account of the personal appearance Of
Brigham Young; r
l was dismally disappointed with his
personal appearance. l had imagined a
fine looking man, upon whose expansive
brow dignity and power sat enthroned,
a man whose presence would inspire re-.
spect for his genius, even in the scoffer
or unbeliever. Nothing Of the sort. He
is man a little above the medium height,
somwhat inclined to corpuleney, with a.
dull, bullet-looking sort Of head, sandy
complexion, and an exceedingly sensual
looking mouth. When walking in the
wind he usually wears a great pair Of
green goggles. With these upon his nose
we would naturally take him for coun-
try school master, who had welded the.
birch years enough to acquire chronic
back ache Without them he looks the
wiIfnl, unrestrained, and vulgar man Of
the world, who has just lost heavy stake
at rat fight.

HARD SHE'LL BAPTIsTs IN GEORGIA.
In ecclesiastical matters the Baptists pre-
dominate. You will find their churches
everywhere. There are, however, not q
few irregular churches which call them
selves Baptists. that are disgrace and a
reproach. The anti-nission element in
them is strong. and their predestination
ideas are awful. They practice feet
washing which is an ordinance with them.
Their church buildings are generally
erected in the woods, and most commonly
are without windows or doors. Their
preachers are ofthe "whang-doodle'' sort,
and play on the "hsrp Of Thousand
strings" We call them Hard Shells. "

Anniversary of the Battle Of Bsnning,

The eighty-6rst anniversary of this
great battle, was held on the 10th ult.,
at Bennington, Vermont. The Rev.
Charles S. Robinson, of Troy, N. Y,
delivered an eloquent Grafton to a crowd
ed audience, and was followed by several
distinguished speakers.
The battle Of Bennington was fought
on the 18th of August. 1777, and was
not the only subject of astonishment
which the Americans furnished their ene-
mics during the great campaign. In
order to obtain further supply Of pro-
visions, Burgoyne, on the 18th Of August,
detached Col. Baam, German officer,
with 500 men, partly cavalry two
pieces of artillery, and 100 Indians, to
surprise Bennington and seize large de-
post Of carriages, corn, -four ana other
necessaries which had been collected by
the. Americans in that place. General
Stark, who. with the New Hampshire
militia, (4O0 strong) happened to be in
that vicinity on his way to join General
Schuyler He first heard of the approach
Of the Indians, and afterwards of the
regular force. He collected his brigade.
sent expresses to the neighboring militia
to Join him, and also to Col. Warmers
regiment at Manchester. On the morning
of the l4th of August he marched against
the, enemy at The head Of 700 men. and
sent Col. Gregg with party Of 200 to
skifmish in their front and rctard their
progress. He drew his men. in order Of
battle; but on coming in sight of him,
Baum halted on advantageous ground,
sent an express to Burgoyne informing
him of his situation. and fortified himself
as well as circumstances would permit.
After some skirmishing on the morning
of the 18th, Stark commenced furious
attack on the royal forces. Baum made
brave defence. The battle lasted two
hours. during which he was assaulted on
every side by an incessant discharges Of
musketry. He was MORALLY wounded,
his troops oyerpowered, and few Of them
escaped into the woods and fed. pursued
BY the victorious Americans, and the rest
were killed or taken prisoners. And
''thus." as British historian has written.
without artillery, with old rusty iirelecks,
and with scarcely.a bsyonet. their militia
entirely defeated nearly 500 veterans well
Armed, provided with 2 pieces Of artillery
and defended by breastworks." The
Americans took 4 brass field pieces, 1000
muskets, 900 swords and four baggage
wagons. The British lost 700. killed.
wounded and prisoners. and the Ameri-
cans 100 in killed and wounded. This
battle was Burgcyne's first check, and it
was a serious one, for its moral effect in
raising the depressed spirits Of the Amer
leans was Of universal Importance to their
cause vnr agsItK 500 ~ FaSF
