IT seem that the Elkctiio-CkKmicai, Baths, have
decided the vexed question in regard to the
notorious Nalisnal Hotel disease; one victim
having been fortunate enough to try the baths,
a last resort, wherein the "test-plate showed
heavy deposit of arsenic." This tells a dark tale
on somebody, and shows how the people choose to
be humbugged, even to death, rather than beenred
by am unpopular agent. The Electro-Chemical
baths were 13 use and within the reach of those
victims, but they were in the hands o(«»Kbb,oembe8)
hence, but o»e of the many victims, it seems, resorted to th> m.
I do aot claim that the baths are a cure-all, but
that they are a powerful agent in renovating the
human system generally, and that they will expel
from the system murcuri/, or other mineral poisons, so as to be seen by the naked eye ; showing;
clearly the absurdity of the Alopathic practice,
and why the Doctors decry these tell-tale ma-
ehinet.
Should th*re be any in this community, inde-
nendeat enough to investigate these things for
themselves, they may find.it to their advantage to
call on the undersigned, who administers the

Remarks by Prcs. Bilgham Young, Tabernacle, Sunday Morning, Oct. IM, ISS7,
''I propose to have read to you this morning
some of the communications that have passed between our enemies and ourselves, far the people
are anxious to know the feelings of the two parties—they are very anxious to learn the newp.
I am perfectly willing that they should know all.
for my feelings and yours are very different from
those of the world;
"If the Government of the United States have
sent soldiers to this Territory I do not know it,
for I have had no official notice of such a circumstance, and you will perceive that 1 treat them
accordingly. It they are sent by the Government,
they are sent expressly to destroy this people ;
and it they are not sent by the Government they
huve come expressly to destroy this people;
therefore I shall treat them, as I have informed
the officer in command, the same as though they
were an avowed mob. Not as I would those who
have heretofore mobbed us, but as parties who
have come to iiiob us now.
•'I have informed Colonel Alexander that had
his command been the men who Save heretofore
mobbed us, and the lying scribblers and the wick'
ed rabble who have all the day long been trying
to incite mobs against us, Ihey never1 would have
seen the South Pass.
"You will perceive, from the communications
which br. John T. Cailie will read, the feelings of
the two parties, myself representing the Latter
Day Sainls and Col. Alexander representing th
officers of what he states to be a portion of the
UPitea States army, Whether it is or not, I have
no business to know, aud shall not know, until I
am officially notified. • ;
"There are a good many here who have not
witnessed the scenes of persecution that some of
us have. I was asking father Morley, this morning, whether he thought tne enemy could now
ride into our corn fields, aud through our gardens,
and shoot down our cattle, and plunder and burn
ourhouess, as they did iu Missouri.
'■When the mob in Missouri commenced burning our habitations, we frequently sent to the
Government petitioning him to stop mobbings.
but instead of doing that he rendered them assistance by ordering 3.500 to go and lay waste the
city of Far West and destroy men, women and
children. Those orders.Gen. Clark had, though
at their close the Governor said to him,"! s-hall
Leave it discretionary with you whether yon kill
all the "Mormons" or not." We saw them coming aud some thought they were sent lo d sperse
the mob, in answer to our petition, but the mob
were expecting them and seemed to understand
tlie movement.
"The first act that I saw Gen. Clark's army perform, was to thrown down about htilf-a-mile of
feme that opened into..a six hundred acre field of
corn. The mob mingled with the army, and they
rode and drove their animals into and through
that corn field. At night they took the rails and
burned tiiem for firewood, and let their horses run
loose in *he field. That I saw and knew, hence I
was just asking father Morley whether he thought
our enemies could now ride into the corn fields of
the '■Mormons.'-' He Paid that he thought they
could not. This blessing makes me say, hallelujah
to God.
"I would as soon tell them as lo tell you my
mode of warfare. As the Lord God lives we will
waste our enemies hy millions, if they send them
here to destroy us, and not a man of us be hurt-
That is the method I intend to pursue. Do you
want to know what is going to be done with the
enemies now on our borders? If they come here
1 will tell you what will be done, as soon as they
start to come into our settlements let sleep depart
from their eyes and shimber from their eyelids,
until they sleep in death, for they have been
warned and forwarucd that wo will not tamely
submit to being destroyed. Men shall be secreted
here and there and shall waste away our enemies,
in the name of Israel's God.
I have thought that perhaps the Lord designs
to furnish  us a little clothing and  ammunition.
d if he does he will permit our enemies to try
to come iu here, but if he sees that that would be
an injury to us he will turn them another way.
I intend to publish the communications between the army and myself, for I wish the whole
United States to understand it.
"Col. Alexander complains of our mode of warfare. They have two or more field batteries of
artillery with them, and they want us to form a
line of battle in an opeu plain aud give them a
fair chance to shoot at us. 1 did not tell the Col
onel what I thought, but if he had a spark of sense
he must be a fool to think that we will ever do
any such thing. I am going to observe the old
maxim :—-
" He that fights and runs away,
L;ves to fight another day."
"Shoilld our enemies venture upon violent
measures, I design to manage affairs that none of
boys will be killed, and iu my answer to th'e
Colonel I have' told him pretty plainly what we
shall do under certain contingencies.
"Did he not granny it off admirably about the
prisoners, when he wrote, I need not assure you
that not a hair of their heads will be hurt? He
dare not hurt them, neither has lie the first particle of reason for hurting them. He has released
and sent, iu the younger brother with an express,-
under the alleged consideration that he had a
wife and three children dependant upon bind, I
wonder that the Colonel had not a young officer
to send with him. _■
"The boys report their order of march to be,
the 10th infantry in front, the baggage in the
center, the 5th infantry in the rear, and several
flanking eompilllies t'^eling through the brush
as best they can. Don't you think they would
look well coming Iroin the United States iu that
way t That is the way in which they were traveling at our last, advioes, aud it was said that their
picket guard declared they would not watch.
"It the soldiers knew the facts in the ease as
do their officers, they would probably nearly ah
leave the army ; but the officers keep the soldiers
in the dark. The last report is that the officers
had been telling the men that I had written a
very favorable letter to Col. Alexander, and that:
they were intending to come in..
"When I think, are they in your! houses? are
they in your fields? I can' answer, no, they are
jn the mountains, ihey are in the cold and snow,
and if they continue^ as those officers appear to intend to, upon the side of despotism and mobocra-
ey, they jvstly out to be served as we would serve
all mobocrats. But we are here, and we are free,
as br, Kimball has said, just as free, in one sense
as we ever shall be. We need not think that we
arc always going id be unmolested by the effort'
Of m'oba, until wickedness is swept from this earth
If we live we shall see the nations of the earth arrayed against this people, tor that time must come
in fulfillment of prophecy. Tell about war com"
inencing! Bitter and relentless war was Waged
against Joseph Smith before he had received tbe
plates of the Book of Mormon, and from that tin
till now the wicked have only fallen back attimi
to gain strength and learn how to attack the
kingdom of God.
"Col. Alexander preached to me a little, stating
ia his letter, "I warn you that the bl'ood shed
this contest will be upon your head," but that
warning gave me no thought. But if the blood of
those soldiers is shed it will be upon tbe heads o
their officers.
"What they will do I neither know nor care, for
it will be just as the Lord God wills it. If He:
that we need their substance, He wilt turn things
to that end ; and if lie designs them to be wiped
out. He will cause them to undertake to come hi
or will overrule some other plan to accomplish
that end.
"Another year I am going to prepare for the
worst, aud I want -you to prepare to cache out
grain and to lay waste this Territory, for I am determined, if driven to that extremity, that our enemies shall find nothing but heaps of ashes and
ruins. We will -be so prepared that in a few days
all can be consumed. I shall request the Bishop:
to see that the people in their Wards are provided
with two or three years provisions, There is al
ready enough raised in matiy places this season
to supply the people from two to three yearSj and
I wish them to take care of it, though 1 expect
that in all probability we will raise a great many
crops before our enemies again attempt to come
here to disturb us ; and I expect that we are folly
ab'e to defend ourselves, and that otir enemies
wi'l not be able to come within a hundred miles
of us. 1 know that ten men, such as I could name
and select, could stop them before they got to
Laramie. And if we had seen fit to have sent
such men this seasou, they alone could very easily
have fo stopped our enemies that they never
wculd have got through the Black Hills. I count
five such men equal to twenty-five thousand, and
believe that two of them could put ten thousand
to flight. I believe we are now where that could
be done. I will take five or ten such as I can
.name, and if two can put ten-thousand to flight I
am sure that ten are perfectly able to do it.
"Who has sought for war, have we? No, we
have preached the Gospel to Saints aud Strang
when strangers would come and tarry loug enough
to hear it. We do not want to stand here and
talk about war. There is nothing so repugnant
to my feelings as to injure or destroy, but what is
upon us f Nothing, only another manifestation
of the opposition of the devil to the kingdom of
God War has been declared against the Saints
over twenty-seven years, and otir enemies have
only fallen back so as to gain strength and pre<
texts for making another attack. Will that spirit
increase ? If it dCe3 and we live our religion, let
me tell you that we will increase faster than our
enemies will. This Territory and .people are per-
fectlv able to defend themselves, with the help of
our God. They are perfectly able to set.apart
men of the right stripe, and maintain a standing
army that can keep off the armies of our cnem
And if the world combine against us, so we are
but one, then all will go on well, aud work together for our.good.
"I have been told that the first artillery com'-
pany, upon its arrival at Laramie, loaded up all
the grain they could haul to feed their inule
teams, and when they reached the Devil's Gate,
they sent forward after their grain from their
freight trains, and then they had not enough to
last them to Ham's Fork. It is impossible for
them to load up teams with suffeient forage to
last them to Green River ; and tbe more men they
send the more they are to eat'up what the mule
and ox trains haul, and the consequence is tho
more men they send the worse it is all the time-
"If they undertake to send fifty thousand men
to Utah, I will venture to say that they catiiiot
raise so large a companj in the United States but
what would cot tach other's throats before they
traveled a thousand miles across the plains, to say
nothing of any other persons' molesting them.
They would be cursing, damning and bowling all
the way. I know that the comparatively few
sc'atiered here and there over the Country and in
the mountains, Can spoil their march before they
could get here.
I WTfeb -th'e people to hasten and' gather together and secure all that they have raised iu the
fields, and when this little skirmish is over I am
going to instruet the people to begin to prepare
for going into the mountains, also' to raise their
drain another year, and to secure that which we
now have by putting it where our enemies cannot find it.
You want to know where you can go. Iknow
of places enough where I can hide this people and
a thousand times more, aud our enemies may hunt
till dooms-day and not be able to find us.
I do not know but what we shall call upon the
sisters to go into the fields to raise potatoes while
their husbands go out to war, and if they can do
that then perhaps we will see whether they can
^o into the fields and raise wheat while their hus
bands are defending Zion. In such an operation
shall call tor volunteers;' wsr shall have no
compulsion about it. So soon as I learn that a
oman would sooner go to the enemy's camp,
just so soon I will send her, and you may mark it.
I shatf »©t warrant bucIi a one safe, only until
she reaches-the enemy's eamp.   I told a man yes
terday, one that I understood wanted to go away/
if that is your feeling and faith I want you immediately conveyed to those troops. I waut to forthwith send to our enemies cvury man and every'
woman that docs not wish to do right, but wishes1
to join them in their crusade against this people.
You may enquire why I take that course';- I answer, sO as to send them to'hell as quick as possi-'
ble.
"That reminds me of a circtn'stance that trans-'
pired here some years ago. A man from Boston,
on his way to the gold diggings, stopped a few
days in (his city and heard me preach ; soon afterwards I met bim in the street and he asked me
if I knew where hell was ; 1 told him I thought he
was on the road to that very place, and when heL
crossed over the Sierra Nevada mountains into
the gold diggings iu California if he discovered
that he had not found bell, to come back and let
me know. As I have not since heard from him, I
presume he found it, which I now think a person-
will who goes Eost as well as West.
The President of the United States, his cabinet
the'Senate, the House of Representatives, the~
priests of the various feligioufT sects and their
followers have joined in a crusade to waste away
the last vestige of truth and righteousness from
this earth, and especially from this part of it. Yes,-
they ha^e joined together, and we have to maintain truth and righteousness, virtue and holiness,
or thay will be driven from the earth. With uY
it is the kingdom of God, or nothing, and we will
maintain it or die'in trying ; though we shall not
die in trying. It is comforting to many to be assured that we shah not die in trying, but we shall
live iu trying'. We will maintain the kingdom of
God living, and if we do not maintain it we shall
be found dying not only a temporal but also am
eternal death.    Then take a course to live.
Read the history of the world, from the time'
that Cain killed Abel to this day. and see whether
you can find an instance when in a mountain coun-"
try fifty resolute, united men have been overcome
by five hundred. If br. Joseph Smith had taken
a company and com« to; this country, as he intended to do, he could have beon living bore now,
in spite of earth and hell. Yes, he could have
done this if he could have brought only fifty men
with him, for with them he could have defied the
whole world j and you know that he would have
had thousands of the upright gathered with him
before now, though if he had been here with only
fifty good meu he could havebid defiance to all
his enemies.
Did their enemies ever overcome the small band
of Waldenses iu the mountains in Piedmont? No/

here from San Pete, or from here to San Pete ;
they were within easy reach of their enemies.
Would Scotland ever have been so far overcome
by England as to unite with that power, if her
chief's had not indulged in petty feuds with each
other ? No, it never would'. But the chiefs were

and others of that one being crowned chief, and
by contending with each other they lost the advantage of their position, or to this day Scotland
might have been an independent nation, evea
though surrounded by water on all fides, except
the one joining Eugland.
I instance these example to show you that if
you will give me ^the right kind of men, I will
take a few hundred of them aud be at the defiance
of the armies Of the world, and that too upon
natural principles. If God is for us that of course
makes us still stronger, but if he is against us let
us not strive to do anything iu opposition to his
will—let righteousness ^triumph. But I knew
that we are right.
"We are free. There is no yoke upon us h'ow,
and we will never put it on again. (The congregation responded, "Amen.") That is the way
(of every man and woman to feel. When it is necessary, aud the Lord calls me to do so, I would"
just as soon preach about war as anything else,-
■ go and fight a battle as to  do anything else."
The FiiEJioxf Claim.—In the case of Palmer vs.
Doling, the Supreme Court has decided that the
famous Fremont grant in Mariposa county was'
