FROM SALT LAKE CITY.
No collision with the Mormons—The Army in
Winter Quarters—Loss of 2000 head of Cattle
—Meeting of the Legislature—M>s. Jt/ogO—
Dishonest Mechanics, &*c. &-c.
;The mall from Great Salt Lake City arrived
n San  Bernardino on Saturday, and in  this cily
on-Tuesday.    From  the former city we received
our file of the Deseret News, up to 2d December.
The A"ews is silent in regard to the position of
the U. S. troops, their condition, or as to a collision having taken place between them and the
Mormons. From this source, nothing is to be expected calculated to throw light on the actmd
condition of affairs iu the Territory.
There is less reference made to the army and
Government of tbeUnited States iu the "remarks"
of the rulers of the Church than heretofore, and
it is only by carefully perusing these -edious harangues that we can discover any hints as to the
purposes of the Mormon leaders regarding them.
The Eldefs are very particular and emphatic ih
preaching "the divine fight" of Brother Brigham
to rule, and the duty of the faithful to yield implicit obedience, absolute and utu[uestiouing submission to his mandates. There seems to be a
feeling of doubt arising amongst tbe people of
Bngham's infallibility, and whether they have
not p.aced themselves in a very dangerous "fix."'
One fact, however. Stands boldly out, that war
lias been levied against the United States; tbat
the march of her army has been checked on her
own soil, iihd that 3,000 meii are under arms in
the mountains lo contest the progre sof the troops
inch by inch.
Brother Brigham',- meanwhile, thinks he has
left himself a big hole to creep out of, because the
President. h#s not notified him, officially, of, the
appointment ol his successor. This is the flimsy
pretext with which he hopes to hide his tracks and
cover his ii eason. While his dupes will be left
to take care of themselves, he and his elders will
doubtless start for the new settlement in the North;
there to provide for his hapless, wandering followers.
If a speedy end is to he put to this rebellion
it must be effected by marching troops from fall
forma. San Pedro is the point 61 debarkation,
whence there is a good road, with plenty of grass'
wood and water along it, to Salt Lake Cty, open
throughout the whole yaftM
Brigham's army has been put into much better
condition than it was. Clothing and provisions
have been supplied to them, .the poor people in
many cases denying themselves the necessaries ol
life, in order to make up the supplies requisite to
maintain an army in tbe field.
Tlie Territorial Legislative Assembly was to
convene in the Social Hall iu Great Salt Lake
City on the second Monday of December tHtb),
pursuant to a resolution passed at its last session.
The lollowing extracts are from the News ol
■11 th November to 2d Decembi r. It will be seen
that whilst the greatest admiration is professed for
the Const tutton aud laws, the greatest efforts are
at the same time being made to resist the authority
of the President, harrass and aunoy the officers
of the law.
From a " sermou" by Elder John Taylor, we
take the following—it may be designated
A PLEA  l-'OH THE  MORMON  REBELLION.
"We came out here because we were disfranchised, exiled, robbed of our rights as American
citizens and forced to wandar in the wilderness
to setk among the savage^ of .the forest that freedom denied us by Christianity. Did.we in Ibis
transgress any of the laws of the United States,
depart from any usage,- or act contrary to any established custom or law of the government ? We
did not. Wc applied for the sanction of Congress
to our doings aud it was a matter of astonishment
and bu prise that we. should take such steps, after
the usage we had received; our course was an-
plauded by statesman, senators, members of Congress and the authorities ofthe United States generally, and all our transactions, constitution and
laws were approved gladly, considered right and
according to the usages and laws of the United
States. .    .
"By and by we petitioned for a territorial government aud obtained it. Our enemies have all
the time been complaining of us Lhat we have infringed upon the Constitution aud laws of the United States. But I ask wherein have we' done it ?
Who appointed our Governor ? The Picsident of
the United States, by and with tbe consent and
adyice of the Senate, ascording to the usage which
exists, but indeed contrary to any right they possessed ; still he did it. Who appointed ovjt Judges,
United States Marshal, Secretary of State, ludiau
Agency ?    The President of the United States.
"Has there been another Governor appointed?
I suppose there has, but he has not yet been qualified. No man has authority to ac't in the gubernatorial capacity in this Territory at tbe present
according to the laws of the United States but
Gov. Young. No Governor has a right to act
here, although he may have been appointed by
the President of the Uuited State?, until he comes
here and is qualified. No man has ever come yet^
to be qualified and consequently Gov.- Young
stands, legitimately in that place.
"What law have we trauegres'sed 1 I have tried
lo find out. We have examined the Constitution
oftheUnitedStat.es and the laws pertaining to
these matters, and if anybody here or elsewhere
can point out-any law that we have trangressed
as American citizens, they know more about it
than I have been able to learn, aud I should like
such a person to put me in- possession of that information.
"What next? Why, on the back o( this, after
lying about us, slandering, abusing and imposing
upon us, trampling upon our rights and sending
the meanest curses among us that ever disgraced
the footstool of God, men they are ashamed of
themselves, they have now sent an armed fbice,
contrary to law and right and to the principles
that ought to prevail in the United States. They
have no more right to do' this than I have to cut
any of your. throat33-
'There is no authority guaranteed to the Presi.
dent of the United Slates to perpetrate so diabolical an act as the one be has engaged in. Why is
it that this is done? Is it because we are Worse
than other people? No. After raking up everything they could, before I left the States, the only
thing tiiey could find against us ai & people was
that wc had burned some books belonging lo the
United States Court] and since that I have seen
published affidavits totally denying any such
thing, by the clerk of that court.
■ "The President of the United States has now
taken Upon himself tlie responsibility of sending
into this Territory an armed force to trample upon
the rights of 1 00,000 American freemen," on purpose to subserve a poliiical interest, for the benefit of his own party. It becomes a serious question with us wha- to do under these circumstances
"Sliiill we lay down aud let those scoundielscut
our throats?—is tlie first question, Shall Ave untie our neckcloths aud tell them to come on and
cut and carve away as they plea«e, and knock
down, drag out. and introduce their abominations
among ns—their cursed christian institutions to
prostitute our women and lay low our best men?
Shall we suffer it, I say ?
-'There are certain things that are sacred tc us,
and to every man and woman ; if we submit to a
thing ol that sort, we submit to see the very -institutions of our owii nation tiampied under foot,
the Constitution of our country desecrated and
rent in pieces. We submit to seethe bonds severed
that have bound this nation together, and blood,
atlarchy and confusion prevail.
"If they have a mind to cut each other's throats
we have no objections, we say, success to both
parties ; but when they come to cut ours without
ceremony, wo say hands off, gentlemen. We are
not so religious as to sit down meekly and tamely submit to ihese things; we understand something of the difference between what some call
treason and treasonable acts, and base submission
to the will ol a tyrant who would seek to bring us
into servile chains, into perfect submission to yis
sway.
"we arc engaged here in protecting ourselves,
our wives and families, in guarding everything
that is sacred and honorable among men f'r^m invasion and Oppression of some of th? most corrupt
wretches that ever disgraced ihe lootstool of God."
We find Brigham holding forth in the lollowing
subdued and crafty style,ou the 25th October. He
admits that " the boys have annoyed the tioops a
good deal," and burned the grass around their
encampment, and then declares himself free from
the control of the Government :
ANNOYISQ THE TROOPS—BURNING THE GRASS.
"As has been observed by br. John, my eldest
brother, this is.the first time that we have ever
had the privilege ol d ing anything only submitting to our enemies. Now, for the first timesir.ee
this Church was organized, we are in a position
for defending those rights common to all American citizens, and our-true and lawful course to
abide by the.Constitution of Ihe United States in
the defence of those rights, will probably give the
wicked a pretext for Complaint, so that in measuring out oppression to us our enemies will have
a new set of pretexts, instead ol feasting on infernal lies so much as they have hilherto done,
"Colonel Alexander accuses us of whatheterms
a very uncivilized mode of warfare.- If we are to
do as they do, we shall iiave to get drunk, to
swear, to quarrel, to lie and believe in lies aud
other like traits of civilization, in order to be
prepared to act as they do. I do not know anything ahont thosa men that-are now iu the mountains, only in the capacity of a mob. _ have no
business to know them as anything else, neither
shall 1, until I have been officially notified that
the Government of the United States wishes to
send troups here and build stations.
"I suppose that the boys have annoyed them a
good deal, but at the same time I would much
rather clothe them and feed them, if they would
agree to go back in the spring and leave trs in
peaco, as they found us. We are obliged to maintain our rights, for every blackleg, horse theif.
counterfeiter and abominable character are united
with the hireliug priests and lying editors, and
wicked leaders of our Government to falsely accuse the 'Mormons,' with a view to our destruction. Can ihey now truly accuse them of anything? Yes. of burning up a little grass, as br,
Attwood told them, when they asked him why we
burnt the grass, "that ive may have a better crop
next vear," which you are aware is customary in
prairie regions. Ws have done that, therefoi'j
our enemies can now concentrate their power to
t-hoot at the target ihey have compelled us 1#raise
in sell defence, whereas hereto lore they have shot
without oft' object to fire at." .-.*,
THE   CHURCH   -"BEE.
"We have labored diligently and suffered everything but death to preach the gospel to our fellow beings, and thousands of our fathers, mothers-
brothers, sisters, children and connections have
gone into their graves through their fuller.ngs
and being robbed of evcrpthing we had and scattered to fiud shelter where we best could. Are
we going to suffer it any more? No, God being
our helper. We are perfectly free, on condition
that we do right;-and upon that condition we
never will be in bondage again.
■'You will recollect Uiat this is the first time
that this Church can say. " we are free." Do we
wish to be free from the United States Constitution 1 No, there is not a word in it but what wo
can subscribe to with all our hearts. Do we wish
to be free from the laws of the Uuited States?
No, they are as j/ood laws as we can ask for.
Neither do we wish for any better laws than are1
the most of those enacted in Missouri and Illinois
What then was, the difficulty with this people?
Magistrates, sheriffs, constables', military.officer.
.tc.,-.walked Ihose laws uuder their feet and trampled upon them as a thing of naught, in order lo
irot at ihis people and drive them Irom Iheir hard
earned htntefti I have said, and Ray it again, if
those laws had been execmed they would have
hung Gov. Boggs and Gov. Ford, with many
04-ners, between tha heavens und the earth, or shot
them as traitors to tlie Government. It is not
the laws and the Constitution ot our country that
We wish to be free from, but it is Horn the power
of those who profess to be.law makers anil law executors, but who trample every wholesome law
under iheir feet.
'■We are now as'free from them as is the mount-
I am air we-breaUie, aud'we could wipe the few en
emies now on our borders out of .existence, in a
very short, time, if 1 would give the word, to do.
so, but they will judge themselves "out of their
own months and receive their jiist reward at tho
hands of him whom ihey have listed to obey, t
believe the Lord has wisdom enough to make
them destroy themselves, though if it were left
to me solely under the guidance of the spirit per-,
tabling to men, probably I should have had them
in eternity before now But the Lord d,i_tatee;
governs and controls ; I do not, neither do I wish'
to."

" Well, now, some one says, 'what good docs it
do for two or three thousand meu to'be in the
mountains?' Why 1 don't know as it is any of
our business. It says, Uncle SaM camiot come
in. We are ready ; wc are on the spot. Well,
what else ? It gives these men an experience that
they cannot have on any other principle. They
are getting an experience, for what? To' culti-'
vate them for something greater, which will come
next year, and if it does not then, it will come
some time. I do not say it will come next year,
you never heard me say it would, but y'oti'aud I'
want to live onr religion and do as we are told,
not questioning a word for a moment. You have
got to stop that; it is enough for others to do
that, without our meddling with those things—I
am speaking to the Elders of Israel.
THE  HAIXTS  IlCN   AWAY—MR3.  MOGO LEAVES.
" Well, here are those troops over yonder, they
are not here, fire they? Well, some ofyou thought'
they were coming here and several run away, .opposing they were coming. Well, I an. glad of
that, and I wish every other one tnat feel so would
put off. We will help theni. Br. Btigham hag
fulfilled his word; he said if he could find any
man or woman that wanted 'o go, he would send
them to that happy place. Well, he has sent Mrs.'
Mogo ; no doubt she will die a happy death.
COL.  JOHNSON  ON'  HAM'S   fO\lK'.
"This great Mr. Johnson, the commander or
those troops has come, I suppose. Br, Groesbeck
has come iu with his company fronf the States;
God gave him wisdom and he is here and he has
escaped tbo3c Iroops. Mr. Johnson says he is going to obey the President's orders, and says be
will come in, but hy the lime he goes up and down
Ham's Fork a few times' it will take away his
strength. II you do not believe it, try someotber
Ham's Fork ; 1 had as leavesit on a bayonet as a
lork. He has had a fever all the way, and will
have a chill when he has lost his strength. He
will have an all-killing chill. He will not come
here ; we have told you all the time they will not
come, but he may attempt to come and Ihen ho
may not, that is just as God has a mind to.
C0L,  JCUXSOX  MUST  GROUND ARMS.
Here is the order :—
"Why are you not wide awake ? Cultivate,'
make, take and increase and bring forth those
things that you need. Yon do not believe the
gate is going to be shut down, do you? Mr.
Johnson says there shall not an article or a train
come in except the Governor lets him come in.
The Governor will not', except he groftn^s arms,
and if he will ground arms, he will groiind arms,
and if he no ground amis,- then he rio ground
arms and he cannot come here. Gentlemen, your
leaders all say he cannot come here,' Why, if he
wants to come here himself, with a few of his
council, if they really want to see the Governor
they have the privilege, but they would have to
gro.ind arms ; I am not going to take that word
back; they have got to ground arms, from this
time henceforth, but we have shouldered arms,
and it is present arms, and do you not see that
the next thing 1b to take aim '.'
THE SWOltll DRAWN, THE SHLAT1I THROWN A'WATT.
"Joseph, when he was iu Nauvoo, on the housetop, drew his sword from' the sheath^ and said it
never should be sheathed again. Br. Brigham
has said the same, and br, Heber will back him in
it, and so will every officer in the kingdom of God.
What say you, brethren, will we go it? It,bo,
raise your right hands and say aye.
[One loud 'AYE' rang through the congrega-
Woo.]
Here is a hint how bo should have beer petted :
"We are uoo going to bow down to the wicked
anymore. I had rather die as I am and light my
way than ever to go into.uieir hands again. They
probably, if they had had only sense enough,
might have caused tjfi to bow down our heads and'
got the bow ou Old Bngbt's neck. Tbey will not
pay the debts contracted by their' own officers.
They send the most damnable and c on temp table ',
scoundrels that they could to rule over ns, and
they abused us all the time and God wanted they ,
should. If they had not, perhaps we should have
bowed down and got the yoke on our neck. Now,
perhaps, they will try to draw back and say, "let
us give them a State Government and a few hundred thousand dollars and see if we cannot pet'
them." When you see a thing of that sort, lojt
out for the devil, he will be behind that'eui'tairf.
When f see anything of lhat kind, I am suspicious.'
HBBBE  DICTATES TO THE UNITED  STATES.
"We shall prescribe a course for the United
States to take after this. Well, you do not believe that, do you ? Do as you are told and see
if it doe- not come to pass. You caillidt tell'
whether lam a true mm unless you listen t'o'me.'
THE WEST POINT 0FM0BB8 AM) MB. DOUGLAS.
Heber twits the "West Point pets" on their'
want of success, and is decidedly complimentary
to Senator Douglas :—
"These little officers that were brought op as
pets at West Point, they boasted all the way what '
they were going to do with'our leaders; they
were going to take our Governor* and hang him,
and take bis wives and use them at t^Mr1 leisure f
and they were going to fcrve Heber in tho same
way, and all others lhat lifted their tongues
against our enemies. They have not yet done
Lt, have they ?
"Weil, these are my foehiigs : im-y are out
there, ihey have been sitting on Ham's Fork so
long it has began to ulcerate, as that nasty fop,
Douglass, uses the term that liltle, nasty snot-
luise—you lanuot call him anything half so mean
as ne jB__ih_ nastiest of all na-dies thai God could
mffer on the earth. We have been a friend to
hun and everybody else, and" we have not done
unyhaim; we mind our own business ; we came
to this land because we were just obliged to do"'
so, audi have been broken up and driven five
times, but, as the Lord God liveth I do not go
&freittl nor any other man or woman that will
1]ve their religion. Let us do right as a people,
and wc  never  will go irom this place until w8
