not soon forget his lnok Of unrtteTablc indig

As may be presumed, this Was the last time
the Governor was ever seen on the 'sacred

In the month Of August last, Gov. l1arding

urge the Reorganization Of thc company Of
three months volunteers, who had Just becn
discharged, for the protection Of the ovcrltud

Brigham for some unknown reason, CHANGED
to be in uo very amiahle mood, and the Gov
crnnr in consequence failed to accomplish thc
object desircd, and accordingly SO telegraphed

In tie meantime the friends Of the Govern.

mind that the only path, OF safety for hiul to
pursue was simply and only to do nothing
without first consulting brother Brigham.

But they little understood, or slightly com
