time are characterized in appearance by
reckless blake air, entirely foreign to
those in civilization. Everything wears
a monotonous appearance. Dissipation
appearing to be the only recreation, as
well as the bane Of the post.
No doubt next spring Witnesses the re-
turn of most of the troops to the States.
What Uncle Sam will do with the 100
wagon loads of horse shoes brought out |
am unable to say as they will not pay
transportation back. ~
This neal and well arranged city COM
prising some 10000 inhabitants resem-
bIes in appearance a New England vii
lage, in regularity of streets, yards, shade
trees, &c.
This City presents quite a business
appearance from the number of employ
ees of the contractors. President Brig
ham is living in all the secluded splen-
dor of an Ottoman Despot, surrounded
by the most beautiful flowers of the land,
in the shape of females, numbering about
sixty-fve, from fourteen to twenty-five
years of age, after arriving at the
latter age, they are transferred pro rata
to the bishops, and their place supplied
by younger and more fascinating beau
ties. The appearance of his palace and
grounds is magnificent in the extreme.
Fifty cents gains admittance to the
grounds, the visitor being disarme6 by the
sentinel at the gate. Two dollars and a
half, takes you through the Palace. In
the midst of which is a school room for
the education, as they arrive at the proper
age, of the, at present, one hundred and
forty-nine Young Brighams. The young
wives are arranged in separate apart
ments, on one side of the building; when
in an Interesting situation," they are
placed in apartments on the opposite
side. He has one daughter possessing
great beauty and personal charms, aged
sixteen, and nine others aged thirteen,
which will all be thrown upon the mar
ket at one time. Here is a subject for
meditation. Brigham is not the only man
with a number of wives. Suppose in
two generations from now, a man in
marrying his fifth or tenth wife, he will be
in danger of wedding his half sister, when
the stock will certainly degenerate. Their
manner of treating wives is certainly GO
ing in accordance with the laws of nature,
or the brute creation = putting them
away at certain seasons, &c. / have,
however, in no part of the world, met
with a greater degree of hospitality.
The most perfect harmony appears to ex-
list among the females. l cannot upon
entering a house have much respect for
either males or females on account of their
doctrine of plurality of wives.
AT Camp Floyd, l met our friend Joice
of the Cincinnati Commercial.
AtLehi, / spent some time at the res
idence of Porter Rockwell, Of train burn
ing memory. l am now in charge of ten
wagons and one hundred men, en- route
for California by the southern route.
This City, situated in a beautiful VAL
ley is about one hundred and forty miles
south of Great Salt Lake City. 1t is the
Capital of the Territory. The Legisla-
tive Council convenes here, the first Mon
day in December.
Seventy miles from this we pass Bea-
yer Settlement; fifty miles further, Red
Creek Settlement ; twenty-five miles fur
Their, Cab Creek fifty miles further Big
Panther. BY tracing on the map you may
see the route to San Barnadino, near
the coast; the place of d%ebarkation of
emigrants to the land of the Saints.
From the Pacific our route turns north
to Los Angeles.
When another opportunity of CORES
ponding occurs, 1 will embrace it. Ny
next may be from Los Angeles, or Pla-
c~erviIle. From both of which the most
fattering reports are received.
Respectfully, WYREKA.
