Brigham, the Butcher.

NEW ORK, Marcn Zo.-h special
from Tuscon, Arizona, says the follow
ing is correct copy of the original
order given concerning the Mountain
Meadow massacre The order, with
three afidavlts authenticating it, was
found among the papers of the late ex-
Chief Justice John Titus, of Arizona.
and formerly Chief Justice of Utah:
SPECIAL ORDER.
SALT LAKE, April 10, 1852 The
officer in command of the escort is
hereby ordered to see that every man
is we'll prepared with ammunition and
to have it ready. at any time you see
these teamsters 100 miles from set
Element. President Young advises that
they should all be killed, to prevent
them from returning to Bridger to join
our enemies. Every precaution should
be taken, and see that no one escapes.
Bv order of Gen. Daniel S. Wells.
JAMES FURGEsoN,
Asst. Adjt. Gen.
The original order, with afGaavits,
are in my possession; and | have had
frequent conversation with the late
Judge Titus, my former law partner,
In regard to the matter, and he never
doubted the genuineness of the order
or the guilt of Brigham Young.
(Signed) l.. G. HUGHES.
SAN Francisco, March 2S. Re
ferring to dispatch from Tuseon, Ar
izona, to the effect that the order for
the massacre at the Mountain Meadows
was found among papers of the late ex
Chief Titus, a gentleman living in this
city, formerly a resident of Salt Lake,
says he had the above document at one
time IN his possession, and had no
doubt of its genuineness. 1t referred,
however, to some eighty men who had
been teamsters IN the army, sent TO
Utah under Col. Albert Sidney Johns
ton, to escort a new governor who re
placed Brigham Young in 1857 An
early fall OF snow forced Col Johnston
and his troops to winter at Fort
Bndger l20 miles east of Salt Lake,
and as Mormon troops Under Lieut.
Gen. D. Il. Wells had burned up two
trains of supplies for the United States
army east Of Green River, Gen
Johnston was forced to put soldiers
upon short rations, and IN carly spring
Of 1858, these teamsters were dis
charged from service and permitted TO
return East where they had entered
government service. They preferred
to 90 west, and started for California
They believed that as non-combatants
they would be permitted to pass
through Utah unmolested, but as soon
as the teamsters came over the Noun
tains and entered Echo canyon they
were taken prisoners and made subject
to martial law, proclaimed some
months before by Gov Brigham Young
A gentleman who was then among
Mormons in Echo canyon, and now
residing in this city saw small divi-
sion Of eight or ten Of those teamst ters
under Mormon escort, on their way
westward. Mormon military anthori
ties thonght it prudent to divide the
eighty teamstcrs into small squads, no
doubt thinking their purposes could
be easier accomplished than if they
had been kept together in such body.
Mormons deny that such massacre
ever occurred, or that such an order
was ever given; but those who had
given the subject attention have nc
doubt the order was issued and the
work accomplished.

The CALIFORNIA CRoPs. SIN
Francisco, March 28.- Crop reports
from all prominent points iL the iote-
rior are less favorable than previous
advices have indicated. In the Sa-
cramento valley, where a good yield
has been anticipated, mildew made its
appearance to such an extent as to
cause serious alarm. 1t is reported
throughout the great grain-growing
counties Calusa, Tolo and Solano.
Otherwise, prospects in that section Of
the State are still good, though the
want of laIn is beginning to be felt,
especially for late sown wheat. The
Tule lands are promising we'll. The
coast counties north of San francisco
are looking we'll, though rust is repor-
ted in some localities. In the lower
of the San Joaquin valley crops are 10
good condition, but, higher up the
river, and in Los Angeles valley,
there will be but little raised, except
on irrigated land. In the Santa Clara
valley the prospect is not favorable for
a full crop, and in Salinas valley the,
yield will be very light, but,along the
coast to the north of Monterey Bay
grain is in fine condition. The south.
ern coast counties will raise but.
light crop, probably not more than
quarter of an average. Rain is report
ed this evening throughout the cen.
tral portion of the State, which will
greatly improve feed, and will be of
decided beaeft to wheat, where not
too tar gone.

TALK about bonanzas! THO corn
crops of the United States last year
amounted to 1895 100000 bushels.
At forty cents per bushel, fair aver
age price the country over, this would
be worth S5lS, 100000. On the other
hand, the estimated yield of our gold
and silver mines for the year was SS5,
100000. With the natural tendency
OF mankind to talk and think most
about glittering and snowy things. we
say and hear more about the S85,00O,-

worth of'corn which the country raises

Much has been said and written
upon the effects of forests upon. rain
tall, and yet with all our destruction
eff forests the records do not show that
the annual rainfall has been decreased;
yet it is almost certain that heavily
timbered areas play their part in pre-
venting too rapid evaporation; and
thus while they do not effect the total
amount, they have the effect of retaip-
iog it and preventing sudden and dis
astrous foods peculiar to woodless re-
gions. La winter they retain the
heavy snowfails much longer, and In
stead of sudden freshets every spring
we have gradual change from snow
to water. We think there has been
needless alarm as to the timber supply
of our country; while it does seem
probable that the supply of certain
kinds Of wood is becoming exhausted,
yet at the. same time we should re-
member that ieon and steel are being
substituted in many cases for wood
and within ten years the substitution
will be still more marked. 4d
