 The (Jroat Salt Lake City was laid out intosqunros in 1847; tho Htrootfl

 :)•(' City creek divided to run alon>; each walk ami water a cidoiiiiado of 
 trees, and also to be led into tho {lardens. The lots contain each nearly 
 ,i'i acre, and faeo on altornato streets with ci(;lit lots in oaeli block. 
 
 The site is on a scarcely perceptible slo]ie, oxeopt the northern part, 
 w.iicli rises ujion the lirst natural terrace, and lies in tho an(;lG ot tho 
 !ii tin Wahsatch ran;;e, running; north and south, and u ^iant spur that 
 :•! ikes out direotiv to tho west, and teriiiiiiatus one half niilu from tho 
 ■I irdaii Uivor. '1 ho city is four miles si(uaro, and touches the river bank

 'welve miles lon^, to cross tlirci! other streams, is eonstru.'ted; to brine 
 : lie Hi;; Cottonwooil aloiij; the eastern terrace to the jiresent capital ot 
 ^iis new empire. 
 
 iMirtv miles north is Oj»den City, beautifully loratcd near the junction

 M be oecupieil, on the 'rimpano;jos; and thence one hundred ami thirty

 ■iin I'ole Valley. I'aroaii, or Iron (Uty, so named from the iibiindanco 
 It" ore, and facilities lor prociirin;; fuel for their fiirniices, is in the valley 
 II the Little Sak Like, where it is ie|iiprted that a much larj^er body of 
 irri;;iiblo land is found than in that first settleil. 
 
 In Tiiilla Viilley, thirty miles west of the temiile, is a settlement; and 
 here are now ill suecesstul operation ten saw and ti\e jurist mills, and 
 •if'.iers ereclinji in all the newer locations. A larirc, commodious state-

 sins: 4th. Ijaymj; o)i of hands by thy gil't of the lltdy ^jiirit: 5th. Tho

 layinj; on of liMiids from those who av(> duly eouunissioned to prcaeh the 
 (iospel, and administer in tiie oniiiiaiices ibere<if. 
 
 We believe in the same orj::anizalion that existed 'n t!-.e priraitivi' 
 elmreli. viz: apostles, prophets, jiasturs, teachers, evangelists, ie. 
 
 We believe in the powers and ;;ifts of the cverlastin;;; ijdspel, viz: thr 
 ;:ift of faitli, discerning; iifspirils, jirupliccy, revcliitluu, visiim:-, heiiliu^. 
 tons;nes, and the intcrprelatiun of tiiiij;,ues, wisdom, charity, Ir^ithorly 
 love, i'i:e. 
 
 We liellin-e the wnnl of fiod recorded in the I'ible, we also believe thi> 
 ■word of (iod recorded in the IJook of Mormon, and in all other good 
 lioiiks. 
 
 We lielii>ve all that Hod has revctilcd. all that he docs now reveal, and 
 wn believe that hi> will reveiil many more threat anci importimt thiii;;^ 
 pertaining to tho kiiigdiim of (iod and Messiah's .second coniing. 
 
 We believe in the literal pitlieriug of Israel, and in the restoration of 
 the ten tribes, that /.ion will lie oiaMisheil upon the western efintinent, 
 that Christ will reign personally upon the earth a thousand years, and 
 that the earth will bo renewed, and receive its purailinaieal glory. 
 
 We belii've in the literal resurrection of the body, and that the rest '■! 
 tho ilead live not again until tlie thousand years are expired. 
 
 Wc> (daim the pri\il(>ge of worshipping .Vhuighty (iod according to th>- 
 (lictates of our conscieiiee, unmolested, and allow all men llie saiU' 
 pri\ile:;e, let them worship how or where they may. 
 
 We believi,' in being snliject to kings, ipie(;tis, ]U'esidents, rulers, nii'l 
 magistrates; in obeying, lioiioring, and sustaining the law. 
 
 We bidieve iti being honest, true, (diaste, temperate, benevolent, vir- 
 tuous, and ujiriglit, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may sav 
 that we follow the admonition of I'aul, we "iKdievi! all things," we "hop'' 
 i\\\ tilings," we have endured very many tilings, and hopo to be aide t' 
 ■'(Midiire all things." Kverv thing lowly, virtuous, praisi'worthy, and u! 
 good report, we seek after, looking forward "to the recompense of re- 
 ward." Ibit, nil idle or la/.y p.'rson cannot be a Christian, uoither liuv"

 After siiflicient time has elapsed to build a teinjile at "Zion"orany 
 appointed state, "and at •lenisalein, no other |ilaies are allowod for the 
 baptisms for the dead," A font will be eonstnuti'd in the house of the

 tlie world — "and elsewbcrc. saitli the Lord your <iiiil, they canniit be ac-

 CHAPTER V. 
 SAMK SUBJECT— MASOiMtY—IIlEllOGLyrillCS. 
 
 Of the introduction of sin. and rise and progress of Satan, we have 
 heard this account given, and " iiroved by their Hcriptures." 
 
 After Adam had fallen from his first e.^tate, a couneil yras liold in 
 Iltjaven, and all the members were present. Anujng theui was lie who 
 is emjiliatieally called The Son, and likewise liiiciler, the elder brother, 
 the Son <if the Mornin;;, the bright star in glory, and leader of heavenly 
 hosts. The iiro|iiisiti(m was laid beforo the council " how man shot'lil 
 be saved or reileenied from the state of evil;" and each one cnlleJ 
 upon to give his method of salvation. AVhen Lucifer was appealed 
 tt), ho declared that "ho would save him !« Ids sins;" but Christ 
 answered, " 1 will save him from his sins." 
 
 The latter was deemed the true way by the Father, and accepted : 
 whereujioii the Son of the Morning took ollVnce and rebelled, with thv 
 legions ho managed to corru)it. and was therefore cast out ol' the jilant- 
 tary abodi! of the Fatucr, and became the great leader of e\il spirits, 
 under the name of Satan ; but he brought with him many of the nolli 
 qualities he ever possessed — is still ^lilton's " Archangel ruined, auJ 
 a jicrfect gentlenuin." 
 
 .\11 the meaner temptations and evil arts are practised only bv tlit 
 baser sort of imps, hence some |ieo]ile are very uncharitablo in cLarg- 
 iiig all blame upon the " \w\n\ devil," as they often call him. 
 
 Till! idea they entertain of the personal agency of this " fine gentle- 
 man," may be gathered from (iie anecdotes rife among thi'ui of hi? 
 doings with Sidney Kigdon, who, fnun being the next in rank to lii' 
 prophet •Fosepli, ajiostatised, through the love of good cheer, ami 
 ambition to be head, lie bad receixetl a great many visits from hii^ 
 angel, as he supposed, and many revelations : but one night, whik 
 asleep, he was urouseil by so mighty a shake, that he was nnide aware 
 that no ordinary hand was \ipon him : indeed, his satanie majesty w;.« 
 fully confesseil, for he ]iroci<e(l(d to tilt np the bed, and handle Sindcv 
 most roughly ; and then, taking him by tlie legs, trundled him down 
 the stairs, as one would drag a wheelliarrow behind him, witloait menv 
 upon the grey head, as it thuni[ied every steji ; and, finally, hindiii;; 
 the Hufl'erer in the street, disappeared " //Ar miwlie." ThistrfMitiuenI 
 was repeated several t nies. but 'twere of no tiso to suggest that Bonu'

 There is a easiiistie view taken of the ri'j:ht to make a di-linetioii l.e- 
 tweeii what is |iiililiely jjiMclainied hy the Seer, oi' under his a|i|iroli.iticn 
 ftom the de^k, and what may he calleil lloalin;; o|iinion, and iiracliif 
 ld,>iii. arisini^ from his privali^ |iromiil;iatioris to certain meinliers. On 
 this they say that it is jn-oju'r to deny certain thinii's to exist d.^ <hiv!i'i:u, 
 Wliicli may he i|iiite universally held and acted iijion .•iinoiii; them. Iioeause 
 it has not heeii |iiililicly jiroclaiiiied — and also to deny any ihin^' iitfensl\e 
 to ihe (.'hristian world at lari;e. e>|iecia!ly when the altirmative would do 
 others no i;nod. and tliemsehes harm ; from which has arisen the opinion 
 ^at they preach one tliiiii; ahmad, and practise ipiile dilferently at lionu-. 
 
 'SjFor 111 the initialed only is it i;i\en to know the "mysteries <i|' the 
 l3li;;doiii,'' and they hesitate not to relmke the impertinent curiosity ii| 
 thl' Mniiii'iiiisli at home, and the tares aiiioiii; the wheat— and meet the 
 <Mit>iilt'rs with a Hat denial of what, to a true helievcr, woiil 1 lie readily 
 mjiaitled as eorreet. It is to them the pleaiiiii;; of ijiiilty or not siuilty it 
 acoiirt of jnstiee. 
 
 Their casuistry makes this perfectly jiroper to their own mlniN, and 
 ifiofteii turns on the iu(>anin^ of certain words which ('omey a peciilie.r

 Till' aiMltioinil of wivos, after the first, to a man's fiinily, is failed a 
 "grnlinn' to liini.'' 
 
 This coiistitiitos a relation with all the ri;:.,ts and sanetioiis of niatri- 
 mouv: — mid as they elaiin to have tlu^ oiilv true |irii'sthoipil, whieh alono 
 04n iiiiid till' parties in the holy state and make them "(iiie ll^'^.ll," it 
 follouM that they have the only true marria;;"s imw existing; iiimiii earth. 
 
 Thus n;iiiiriled in the motive, and ili'iioiiiiei'il a^ sin for other eimsidera- 
 tloii than divine, the praetieal working;- of the system, so far as now 
 eXtuiidi.'il, has I'M-ry apiiearanee of deroniin. The roinantie notion of w 
 gtolLde love is ilerided. and met hy ealliiij; attention to the ease of parental 
 rfcetioii: where the father's u;ood will is liestowed alike on earli of hia 
 nanv ehildreii; and they preli'iid to see a more rational applieatioii of a 
 g6iii'niii> soul in lovinu' inure than one will', than in the hii^otry of a 
 
 S'tial ailhi'siiin. The Seer almie has the power, whieh he can use iiy 
 e^Mtiiiii, of jrrantiin; the privile^-i' of ihrreasinj/; the mimlier of wives; 
 the rule of primitive a^es is applied in the rase, and the suitor must first 
 hftVe the eiiiiseiit of the pari'iits, then eoiisiilt the lady, and the Ster. 
 
 JE'.ery iiiiniarried woman has a ri'j;lit to ilemand a man in marriajre, if 
 gbe is iii"j:lei-ti'il, on the ^roiiiid of the privile;re of >al\alioii: and the 
 P^sidi'nt who rei-eives the petitioii must provide for her: and he lia.s 
 th6 aiuliiii'ity to eoiiiiiiainl any man he deems competent to snp|iort her, 
 "to seal her ' to himself in niarria'j:i'; and the man so ordered must show 
 juit cause and inipediment why it shoiihl not he done, if he dislikes tlio 
 OlUon: or else lie considered con tiiiiiacioiis and "in daii;ierol' the coiineil.'' 
 
 ■The Soer sometimes has to exercise his jndjrment in iM-eveiitiii;i: incou- 
 puoiis sealin;;; from unworthy motives, and to tell such that what they 
 noitr esti'i'ia a privilege, will turn out soon to lie a Imrden. 
 
 This interfer 'lice with the kiiif;iloiu of C'lipiil imIIs fur most judicious 
 nMBsuri's on his part, for in ili!«t court his decisions, j;niileil hy Hcasuli, 
 art apt to he deimirri'd to hy I'assioii. Uiit. as he can join, so ton call 
 h«amiiil the contract, and dissulve the relationship of the parties, when, 
 aft|r he has counselled tlc'in and j^iven them a proper pmliation, they 
 BtiH timi an ineoiupalihility to exist. Out of this matter ;;rows an ini- 
 -•*Bsr power, haseil upon his kiiowli'dj;i' of all the domestii' relations in 
 iw-cileuy; — such di'licafe eoiilideiice lie;;ets a reverence and fear, anil 
 whOe tliiii;;s proceed harmoniously, a love to him as their adviser and 
 friepiil. And as the peace of the society depends materially on that of 
 families, he watches over this part of the prem^cative with ureal soliciuule, 
 and keeps the parties, so far as practicahle, ii)! to their eii'j;a.i;einents. 
 
 In --ome instances several wives occupy the >ami' house and the same 
 room, as their dvvellin^is have jj;enei'ally one apartment, nut it is usual 
 to board out til" extra ones, who most l'ri'i|uently "pay their own way,'' 
 by scvviii'j:. and other female employments. It i* hut i'.iirness to add that 
 thoy hold the time near at hand |iredicted hy Isaiah, "when seven womeii 
 Bhail take hold of ilie >kirt of one man and say. We will eat mir own hread, 
 but let us he calleil hy thy name:" — -which ;.;ives the assurance that 
 plurality is loreteld ami correctly practised liy them. 
 
 It is only a little in aiiticipalioii of the time when "the liattles of tlic 
 Lord" are to h'-unn. iind then, us the women are far more pure than the 
 raon, the females will :;ri'atly luitnniulier the imiles. fn- ihe latter wll' ho 
 BWept o;f iiy swi.rd and pestilence, am' the other reserved to increase tin;

 WtW well [I'lsted in the dry ehannels of the TiuijiairiKiis, and sereenei! 
 by ft e.iltiinwoiid fnrest nnd'thiek willow elnmiis, but were liiuilly driven 
 out by the cannon and rilles at lonii; shots, after three days' wkirinisliinn 
 The soldiers retired every ni;rht to the fort, a mile distant fnnn the 
 battle-field. OiH' voiiii;: ni'an of the assailants was killed. The Indians 
 deoaniiied the tliird nifdit for the niountaiii kanyons, now tiUed with 
 8onw. and the measles lieiii;; anions; tliem. the ex|iosuri! killed nianv. 
 "Old KIk," the terror of liie nioiiiitaiiis, was found dead on the trail. 
 lie had lo'ii;r imasud ilmt no siii;;ie |ii'rson or trajiper eonid live with 
 him in the valleys, and niimliers iiiv su|iiioseil to have fallen under Jiis 
 rifle. A nartv was driven up Table Mountain, but W"re indiiced to eoine 
 down and sui'i'i'inler, They were ;:;iiarded in eaiii|i until the morning, 
 and then urderi'il to jrive up tln'ir weapons. 'J'hey ri fused to do thii-, 
 and actiiiu' in it sullen and hostile manner, were Ii red upon and nearly 
 all killed Tiiinu'iliately. A fmv broke throii;:li the line of sentinels and 
 «ndeftVoiiri-d to escape by crossing the lake on the ice, but tlicy were 
 cLaaed down by horsemeu and " ceased to bniathe.'' .My inlbrmant 
 was an actor in the terrible scene, and seemed dis|iosed to paint it in as 
 soft colors :i< pM-^ililc. A like cliastisemeni was jiiveii tlieyear jirevii us 
 toa«mall liaod of Shoshones, and a seemid has since been inllicted on 
 the Ut;ilis, and lie cliief, I'atsowits. eane;ht and killed by the boWHtrin;.'; 
 and this ilcir'Uiiih work ni;:kes an impression on tliemtliat they will feu' 
 to offend, whlcli is ihe hniiciiie polii-y. Had public >eiiliinent sanctioned 
 a similar pelicv with the .Siniinolcs, what sa..-riliecs of blood and treasure 
 WOOld ha\e been avoided ! 
 
 AV""' l"''l.v were killed by powder and measles : and the band of old 
 " Stick-iiilbcdicail," a chief of note, was so thiiied that they immediately 
 bagged fer pence. A lai'^c number of prisoners were taken, nuistly 
 'WOUt«n and cliildren, carried into Fort I'tali, and liid;;i'd under the 
 cannon platfoi 111 in tents until they could be distributed amonejthe fanii- 
 IJOS ill tic \alley. They were fed liounleously on beef, and it was a siirlit 
 for ft paiiiicr to see this motley ;;roup least on the e;enerosity of the eap- 
 turen. ."^ipiaws and children were ;;eiierously taken into the houses. 
 and the trial made to teach them doniestie ser\ ice. But it wn.s a failure ; 
 they soon deserted the riiiiiji)ii.i uf the white man's house for tho snowy 
 liooMOl tile kaiiyoiis. 
 
 Kka curious matter of rcllection, that those whose iiiin.sioii it is to 
 convert tlcsc iilmri^'ines by the sword of the spirit, should thus be 
 obliged lo destroy liini — liiil they stoutly altirm that these peoiile will 
 _yet, und"i- their instruction, i'ullil the prophecy tlct " a nation sliiill

 CHAPTER VIII. 
 
 SELF-GOVKRNMENT. 
 
 _BfDnoluding our notice of this new territory, and of its peculiar 
 peoillliiwe may bo allowed once more to advert especially to the subject 
 of dOltoolliiig the government of Deseret. We hear that olficors sent to 
 Ifcenllfcivc had their i'eiilings so outraged by treasonable expressions to- 
 
 wardsHl 
 
 aipreme gdveniment, that they have felt it their duty to 
 retunt and place the subject before the national legislature aiid_ tho 
 chief Jnagistrate. This may have resulted iVmii too hasty conclusions, 
 end from r.ut marking tln^ riualilications usually due to such denuncia- 
 A lining portions of the citizens in every Stale, ive may hear very 
 •icius terms used. The guveninieiit is lVei|uently pro(daimed cor- 
 1 dangerous to liberty, in party declaniatiuii : the writers and 
 being ready to defend it, howevi'r, with their lifi.'-blood. 
 iw that a prejudice existed against the ajijiointment of one, at 
 1 went to Utah in an otlicial cap.\city ; and the Mormons wero 
 to receive him with distrust, politically and mnrally; and how- 
 just the pejudice, it undoulitedly had its bad intluenco — and in 
 Ig one witii harsh language, llie cause may Icivo become common 
 
 |th(' .Mormons regard themselves as jilaced in the position of our 
 _ I fatheis; with this ditference, that t'.ie latter felt the burden of 
 taxatWtt without ri;preseiUatioii ; the Mornioii>, an injustice in enforcing 
 law upsn tliem by Jiiivii/ncra. They havi; formed everything on tho 
 model of a repulilican State; adopted a constitutli.n. liberal, free, and 
 tolerant of cunsi'ience in religion ; and havi; ii crii.iinal code which 
 applies to their peculiar situation and feelings. U is not to be pre- 
 sumed that lawyers, though eminent at home, Iresl, from crowded cities, 
 and long (h-illeil in umnicipal laws suited to old societies, can have a just 
 appreoiation of the statutes of this wild coumry, which have a peculiar 
 religious sanction from the dependence of the "civil code on ivnid/ioii. 
 Nor will the community place the same conlidenco in such judges, as in 
 those whose aciiuaintaiice with their views and opinions is a matter 
 of esperience : and whose interests and sympathy are bound up togo- 
 ther. And, too, we must reniembei' that it is a niatter of conscience to 
 bring all sulijeets of contention before the he;iils uf their own family, tho 
 household of the Uiurch.

 A Fecond ocmsideration, arising from the same cause, is in the rla: 
 of parents and <'hildren. .Separated now from those who can poro- 
 them, it is hard to keep up the enthusiasm of the mass, by refen'w

 Uie mountains, these ari' '■ oft-t(d(l tales." ji'june anil tiresome. '. 
 youth there are no fanatics, and soem to care lait little for the diU. 
 doctrines. 
 
 And the eontemiilation of |)lurality is highly distasteful to the v. 
 ladies of any indepi'iidence if fciding. however aci|uics(ed in liv; 
 more ailvani-ed in age. 'I'lo^ subject was jdaccd before one in ilsi- 
 tical liirht. and the reply was most decided and |iromjit against su : 
 nrranj:emeiit. Asked if. ••he could consent to becume Airs. IJlank, N . 
 sir No. 40, — or if now in youthful lite she was esjioused to one i: 
 choice, and who wa^ all the world to her : and then, tliou;j:li rankiiij

 to have the huslmnd call at he" doniicil al'ter several weeks' abseii- 
 nay, — ■' 1 am really glad to ^ce you dearest, and how delighted it « 
 make me to spend an hour here, but — and. by the way, have Viu 
 my last bride No. 17 : how sweet a jrirl she i.'^— really I'm sorry t" 
 vou so soon." — the subject ^vas cut short by the reply, stern aii'i 
 "' \o .'^ir, I'd die first." A\'e are informed that many ou the f'ri: 
 Lave deserted the " ,-ealed rel.alioTi." and married half-lireds ami : 
 watainies, preferring such a life as that in the eabiu.s of Mebraska; 
 winui of the other. 
 
 Youugnien,too, feid insecure in proposing t'> embark in thematriin 
 vessel. They must luiturally feel envious, when the young women:
