SALT LAKE CRY. Dec. "a

SALT LAKE SlI1. Lee. ~.
The great storm that has been rag
ing over the country, has not s!ighted
this valley that blossoms as the rose
wide Mormon apologists) and we have
been experiencing spell Of weather
unusual in this region. The SHOWS OH
the Wasatch range is feet deep on
the level, in the mining camps, aud
travel is performed from place to place
by means Of tunnels under the snow
The railroad has been blocked up for
some time, and only now aud then .
passenger train gets through, while
the freight trains are laid up entirely.
This may last until next July for all
that any one can tell at the present
writing.
This city still survives the flight Of
the " Lion of the Lord" 1t was at
one time supposed that some great cal
amity would befall II IL the wicked
Gentiles did not stop tormenting the
Lords chosen people, but ~ the stock
Of calamity that this market could
afford this year has been bought in
by Chicago. we can not look for any
big thing to to take place in this Zion.
We have been told hy some Of the
old fanatics that the san was going to
singe hot on the Geutiles aud mild on
the saints, comets turned loose To
destroy the oppresssors Of Brigham |;
the smallpox rage; milk-sickness,
trichina and other evils were to come
upon the Gentiles; but ouly poverty
and bad whisky have attacked them
thus far. However, we can all say
that We are lonely now. since Brigham
left-lonely because the excitement
about the court proceedings has sub
sided, and the temper Of tine people on
both sides, "Cru,ssiersn ani Nor
mons, is great deal sweeter than it
WAS. We all live pleasantly together,
aud Brigham finds the climate more
healthy aud equable ut kanab than
here.
The time now set for Brigham 5
trial on the = laeivious cohabitatiou
with seventeen women" Indictment i,
on the second Tuesday in January
next, at which time, il he appears for
trial, he will at once be - Kanabbed"
on the charge Of murder; aud IL lie
dom I appear for trial his DO Ids will be
forfeited 1t is believed by those whe
know best that he will prefer kanab,
where he now is. In fact. it was said
at the sitting oil the Court on the 9th,
when he should have appeared for
trial as ordered by the court, that his
friends were there with the 5000 to
pay at once Ii his bonds should be
declared forfeited. The Court did not
think bes; to forfeit, but continued the
case.
The best judgment upon the matter
here is, that Brigham does not fear the
result of n trial for murder as agaiiisi
himself /; that is, he does not fear u
verdict of guilty, or the punishment,
but does fear the arrest without bail,
waiting the day OF trial, which would
send him up to Camp Douglas, and
thus everiastingly disgrace the unsul
lied reputation Of the prophet business,
and bring reproach on revelation.
Then again he most fears the very
damaging effect it will have ON The
Church Of Jesus Christ 0 late days"
Throughout the world, to have the evi
dence in the case vs.. Il. Young, indict.
ed for murder. published ut large, rs it
Will be. For instance, such points a.
that the assassin committed the crime
by direction Of b. Young, believing it
was revelation from the Almighty
that the man should be put to death,
aud that after the murder, the victim =
money $500 in gold WAS taken 10 B.
Young, who invested II permanently
in the church fund. 1t is generally
understood here, that the Church
pocket and Brigham's pocket differ
only in the mode OF putting the hand
into it-both being in the same
bresches. Another similarity Is, tina,
1t il only Brigham's hani that ever
gets any thing out Of either pocket.
PRoPHEsY AND REVELATION
are good things; I like them-like
them rs well ~ do = negro minstrel
performance, aud generally there Is
just about as much Goodness, religion,
sanctity and reality ia Que as the
other, and more especially the latter
day revelations aud prophesies oI
Brigham Young aud his apostles. Al
an instance of these soothsayi ings will
refer to the prophecy Of B. Y. mad,
during the late onplea.antness" with
our Southern brethren. The said b
Y. beiug In direct communication
with The Lord, (so he said) WAS told by
the Lord that the United States Wa.

Brigham Young, WAS 10 take its place
aud eventually rule tbs world. These
