FROM UTAH.


pa'ch from Gen. Craig, at Fort Laramie, requesting
HIM, III view of the Gent indian outbreaks, to re-
enlist the company o. AlOrmon soldiers whose three
months term of service had expired short time
before; and in order tho, lie might do this with as
little delay as yossible TO consult with Brigham
Young upon the subject.
Accordingly. the Governor Of the Territory of
Utah called upon tie President Of the Chnlch OF
Jesus Christ OF Lniter-day Saints, at the Office OF
that digntary. Brigham aud his two Councillors
were present-the Trinity" these three persons
are considered by the Sanis the better to illustrate
Ire order Of their importance in their liness power
ON earth.
After the customary formsliies between the
Towers celestial and The POWER terrestrial the latter
in earthly fashion, made known the contents of the
dispatch, and proceeded 10 speak of the Indian
dfhcutes Of the necessity of troops TO quell them,
and Of the propriey Of raising company OF soldiers
to be placed ut Gen. Cng's disposal.
The III er Of this PEOPLE declined any participation
in the matter, giving az reason that the Toys
busy with their harvesting, and that be did mol
ibuk they would lie wiling 10 do anything more Ia
the military line until they should see pile OF
green backs" from Washington; and demanding
to know Why COL Conuor, with his command, waf
not orde ed OF expedition against the indians
Instead Of being sent here among Ito MoEmors,
where he was not at all needed
Gov Harding replied that the United States Gov
eminent vas fully able TO pay nll the men who
should enlist in its service, and that il would most
certainly DO 60 although there might in this Gaze,
be some little delay.
Upon ibis, Brig am coolly informed the Governor
Of a new audsianlng fact viz that there rond be no
Jnifd States Gorer, mcaf that would 20 to pieces.
that the two armies would totally destroy each otber,
&c., closing the TRADE with the very tgniiicso'
question, Do NJ you think, Governor, that Gov
eminent sdnin stored ly one man, and that man ap-
pointed nv God would be far better than the Cow
meui Of tie United States Of any other country =
Most ssslredly," replied the Governor 4" because
the Almighty could undoubtedly make a better
selection than any company Of men on earth. The
only question would he to know whist man the Lord
bad chosen"
There could be no trouble in deciding that acid
Brigham; "evidenily il would be the who should
receive a revelation TO that effect"
But" added the unbeli,ying Gentle, "some-
times more IL at one might claim to have bad reye-
ation. Some Of your people believe you to be the
true Prophet Of God and others believe in another
Prophet"
IL was not aware Of tina, fact" interposed the
asiooished Revelstor.
"Why, il is only short time suce como Of your
blowers set up new Prophet lettering TO the
Morrisites thus creating sohsm in tie Church, ard
occasionng the death Of ,everal men. so you
hat opposing factions may srIse well among tbis
people - elsewhere
After pause, during which the " President" wss
N. niiestly collecting Lis forces, ho renewed the al
tack by saying Don't you think the time musi
come--lbe mennium-wben ouch n Government,

We are TO cons- er the descriptions Of the millennium
literally true, bu, simply figures through which
the inspired writer sou. b. convey bis meaning to
a highly imaginative people. For instance, when
we read that the lion snd tie lsmb shall lie dom
together that the lion .ha eat straw an OK &C.,
DO not imagine that those phenomena actually 10
take place"
"WLy not I" asked Brigham, in amszement.
" Because j, would be physiological impossbli
lty. The lion must Grst be provided with new ~
q teeth and a new stomach You might chain a
lion by straw p.hck, and place beside him ell the
water he would drink, and after certain number OF
days be would die; while OK, with Tic ZANE bill
Of fare before lin would thrive"
"Where co you get such ideas T. inquired the
Prophet in solemn tones.
d" From books-from such authors ~ Bufon, Hmm

Dent Young, or ], or any II u.s.

They don't know anything about it, II was siesr
folly for them 10 write such bOoks, and i would be
