made by officers, to be fulfilled at the of “Mormon” chastity, were no secret. “they constituted the theme for both officer and soldier from morning till night, from Kansas to Utah. The Imuititade who were ready to ory, “cruelly him! era- cify him!” were upon their track, and treading upon the very t of their sacred homes. What was ‘to be done? officially notified not to advance into the settlements of the Territory; and timely warning was given to avoid any serious collision. Had the peace and pro- tection of the Territory been the object in view by | the officers in command, they would have soon — learned that the presence of an‘armed force in Utab | was the very opposite to a peace policy. No ladiza | outbreak demanded their assistance. No officer re- jnired their tio the discharge of his duty. No law had n violates ich required au army | toenforce. And had the and judicial officers appointed to that Territory souls entered upon the | Mf duties of their respective offices, we have no hesita- | tion in saying that they would have been assisted and honored in the faithful discharge of those duties; the laws of the land could have beeu honored, and peace and good will maintained. The opposite is now the result, and time will determine the action of the general government, whether it be for peace or for extermination. THE BEST WAY TO SEND TROOPS TO UTAH, ACCORDING TO THE CALIFORNIANS. {From the San Frane'sco Herald.) We have reason to know that measures are now being adopted by the government to concentrate as large a body of troops as can be d from the va- rious posts in Oregon and Washington Territories, at some point in this State convenient for their prompt we gs across the border, so soon as any overt act of rebellion shall be committed by the Mormons of Utah. It is evidentthat, in the event of a difficulty with those headstrong people, the most available avenue for the transportation of men and munitions of war would be through the valleys that open from California into Salt Lake. On the eastern DOS to the valley there are natural impediments, which, though they would undoubtedly not be effectual in long arresting the march of an im- petuous and enthasiastic body of United States troops, would nevertheless be easily rendered available to re- tard its progress for a time. No such natural obsta- cles exist on the western approach. The valley is so easy of access from California, that Brigham Young has recognized the necessity of drawing acroas his western frontier a cordon of bloody minded savages, of whose willing aid be would avail himself to b rass an army on its march from this side. It is evi- dently his policy to guard the eastern passes with a smal! force of resolute men, and to keep his main body—t gether with the numerous tribes of Indians under his control—-for field operations against an army approaching from the west. The course of the government will therefore doubtless be, not to augment the force under General Harney to a greater extent than is necessary to provide for its | safety, and to enable it to keep a portion of the enemy engaged on that side: and at the same time to pour into Utah, through the outlet from Culifor- nia, such a formidable body of troops as will, with the least possible delay, and with the smallest possible expenditure of blood and treasure, crush out the revellion. A lar; receiving i could be established at some eligible point in California, where the volunteer companies (if such should be called out) and the drafts from the various recruiting stations, might be sent, and where they might be kept ready to march at a day's notice on Deseret. Independent of the military ad- vantages of a descent from this side instead of trom the east, it has likewise in its favor the strong argu- ment of economy. Stores can be procured and transported from this State at far smaller expense. With the single exception of arms, abundant sup- plies can be had here, and at rates greatly less than the aggregate cost of their purchase and transporta- tion to the western border of Missouri. Ail these facts have not escaped the attention of the government; and it may be confidently expected that should re- bellion break out in Utah, California will be the de- pot for the main Lape of the army of invasion. The same paper of the 26th ult. says, with regard to the Eastern route: —We will state, for the informa- tion of our readers, that a wrong impression exists with many in relation to the difficulty of entering Utah from the east. It has been sj d neces- sary to force the formidable pass of 9 Canon, before access could be had to Salt Lake; but this is a great mistake. Fort Bridger is the nearest fortified point to Echo Canon; and, arriving at that point, the troops have only to file to the northward and roceed to Fort Hall, from whence a broad and ndsome valley, some nine miles in width, leads directly to Salt Lake City. There are some dangerous asses that exist between Port Bridger and Fort Wail, that may, possibly, be — by the Mor- mons or their Indian allies, which would render communication difficult and hazardous. But, even in that event, the troops could proceed to the South Pass and enter the lower portion of Dese- ret, which is thinly populated and entirely without defences. Here there is a fine fleld for cavalry ope- rations, an arm in which the Mormons are exceed- ingly deficient, To oppose an attacking force at this point, the Mormon leader would be obliged to march his army three hundred miles from Salt Lake City, affording opportunity for a highly favorable diversion from the north. For the better informa- tion of our readers, we will add that Fort Laramie is five hundred miles east of Salt Lake, ou Laramie river, just at the forks of the Platte. Fort Kearney is about two hundred miles east of Fort Laramie, and three handred miles west of Fort Leavenworth, which is located on the banks of the Missouri river. These locations and distances we believe to be nearly correct. A co nt of the San Francisco Alta, writ- ing from Los Angeles, makes the following state- ments and ions concerning the proposed operations at Lake:— ‘The plain inference to be drawn from the words and teachings of Y , and the movements of his worshippers, is, that he has resolved to abide the fortune of rebellion. If he intends to resist the execution of the laws, and enjyr into a strife of arms with the government and pPople of the United States, it is time measures should be taken to pre- ble, his obtaining any advantages d His first care will be to dispose of the command u * Colonel Jolunston, which was escorting, through the Indian country, the newly appointed offic of that Territory. Having accom ed that ob ind knowing that his eastern frontier is unapproachable before July next, he will have the whole winter, spring and antil midsummer to fortify and strengthen his position. There is but one point where large armies could be concentrated, and from which Utah is acces sible, both in winter and summer. This southern part of California offers the facilities required. From the valley of Los Angeles, embracing the town and lands of San Bernardi- no, the country, after passing the defile of San Ber- nardino, is open, and presents no obstacles to the marching of large or small bodies of men to the Salt Lake, at any season of the year. The climate, north from the Cajon Pass, is dry andsalubrious. There, in these three southern countries, could be concentrated and maintained, without difficulty, large armies, which could march — Utah in the depth of winter or in midsummer. From this point he well knows that he may, at any season of the year, be attacked. It will not require the eye of military science to indi- cate to the Morman chieftain the importance of this section of California. Asif in the anticipation of an attack from this point, he has been throwing out his outposts of walled towns more than half way from Salt Lake City to this valley. With the clasing in of winter Colonel Johnston satisfactorily disp of—hbe can turn his attention hitherware, and march an army into this valley, which shall first bring us the news of the defeat of Colonel Johnston and the armed rebellion of the Mormons. He could iy waste and impoverich these counties, and, wit! the herds and flocks, return in safety to Salt Lake. This would not only strengthen Young, bat would greatly retard and hinder, if not prevent, the occupation of this point by the national forces, He could even occupy San Bernardino, where he can support an army from the «p whence he could advance to the coast, or rapidly countermarch, and render assistance to defend his If Young attacks and defeats the Col. Johnston, I shall not be mach rprised if this news is first brought to our know ledge by the sudden arrival of his troops in this val- ley. Without making any pretensions to military science, I hazard the opinion that, should Young | make a movement of this kind, he would be able to | accomplish it before any organized opposition could, under any possible circumstances, he brought into the field to prevent its complete realization. Judg- ing from the evide before the public, | am _eom- pelled to admit the probability—even the almost certainty—that before now Brigham Young has raised his fratricidal hand against his brethren, and drawn the sword which will revel in a brother's and father’s blood, which will let loose and urge on the cold, vindictive and remorseless Indian to deeds of savage blackness too horrible to anticipate SKETCH OF ORSON HYDE, THE PRESIDENTOF THE MORMON TWELVE APOSTLES HIS FAKLY TROUBLES-—MISSION 10. BNGLAND 1 ALL BY THE PAW BATE JC DOK AL Orson I ie, the nt of the n the M horch, is, after th First Presidency Brigham Ye ball and Daniel H. We versonarre in at thority in the Mormon biera and the person on whom would devolve the guidence and direction of the movement, should the Presidency be removed any unlooked for event, unless a snc by death vave been previously de wun sly We are told what was done. They are | ind from | signated, ordained snd set apart to that office, through, in ecclesiastical language, ‘revelation or by the direction of the Holy Spirit.” On the asgaasina- | tion of the Smiths, in 1844, Brigham, then President of the “Twelve,” attained to the highest position in | the church; Brother Hyde, now occupying his former | position, may one day be called to the chair of Jo- | seph, a position which few even of the faithful would accept if offered and refusal was at all admissible. Brother Oraon is a man of considerable ability, has travelled extensively in the Old and the New Worlds, is a very eloquent preacher and a clear and forcible writer. “Aside from his profession and prac- ‘ice of the peculiar faith, he would figure in any so- ciety as a gentleman of education and a person des- tined to rise in the world, and one who would leave a name and history on the reeerds of time for future generations to read and study. His name being now prominently before the public, connected with Utah affairs, we have traced his course since his rolation- ship with Mormonism, which, while it furnishes some knowledge of the man, throws considerable light on one of the missionary enterprises of the movement scarcely if at all known in the world. The subject of our sketch was born on the 8th of January, 1805, and is, consequently, now in his fifty- second year—what the Mormons in the mountains would not regard as more than the prime of life. Of his birthplace and parents we know nothing, and of his early life we are nearly as ignorant. At his bap- tism, in October, 1831, he says:— He was left in his ipfancy an or; , with none to look upon him with a father’s eye, and feel for him with a mo- ther’s heart. The hand that wiped his infant tears was still; the breast that nursed bim was cold, and slumbered in the arms of death. He was thrust abroad upon the cold aud friendleas bosom of an unfeeling world, so that for twenty long years he saw no one i whose veins flowed a drop of kindred blood, and, consequently, grew up as a wild and uncultivated plant of nature, &c. At the time of his baptism into the Mormon church he was a clerk in the store of Brothers Gil- bert & Whitney, in Kirtland, Ohio; but previous to his acquaintance with the Mormons he had been ini tiated into the Baptist church, and was a student for the ministry under Sidney Rigdon, who in course of time became counsellor to Joseph Smith. Soon after his baptism, Orson was “designated as one of the chosen men of the Lord, to hear His word to the Na- tions,” and before he was a month in the new faith he was appointed one of a committee of six elders to “instruct the several branches of the church.” The following month a revelation was given to him and a few others, in which his missionary labors were early sketched out. He was ‘‘to proclaim the ever- lasting Gospel, by the spirit of the living God, trom people to people, and from land to land, in the con- gregations of the wicked, in their synagogues, rea- soning with them, and expounding all scriptures unto them,” &. To this commission was added the romise that the blessings enjoyed by the first Chris- ‘ians should be imparted to the faithful repentant believers who should receive his testimony, and to himself, the promis Unto you it shall be given to know the signs of the times, and the signs of the coming of the Son of Man, and of as many as the father shall bear record, to you shall be given power to seal them up unto eternal life, &c. His first years in Mormonism were spent princi- pally in Kirtland, where he had constant and inti- mate relationship with Joseph Smith. At the nume- rous conferences where the Prophet presided Orson’s name figures generally as Secretary. In the capaci- ty of scribe he seems to have rendered considerable service to the young cause. When the Saints in Jackson county, Mo., had their first difticulties with their eo Brother Hyde was despatched b; the Prophet to give them counsel and advice in their unfortunate circumstauces. On his arrival there he and another elder were appointed to visit the Gover- nor of the State, at his residence in Jefferson City, with a petition, setting forth the persecutions which the Saints had endured throngh the charge of tam- pering with the slaves and inviting “free negroes and mulattoes from other States to become Mormons and settle among us,” &c. Having had an unsuc- cessful mission, so far as redress for losses and the armed protection sought from the Governor were concerned, the deputation returned to Jackson county in time to have a share in a greater muss than that of which they had com- plained. Orson soon returned to Kirtland with the news of the riot. His account of the affair was pub- lished at the time in the Missouri Republican, and gained for him no blessing from his enemies. In the beginning of 1834 he was chosen one of the twelve High Priests, who were ap- | pointed “ to settle any important difficulties which might arise in the chureh.” The | troubles in Missouri continuing, brother Hyde was appointed, with another elder to come to the Hast- | ern States for “assistance from you.” Donations were few and far between, and not large at that, so | that but little good was effected in that direction. | In the beginning of June, 1837, he was appointed to accompany Heber C. Kimball on the first English mission. About the middle of the mouth he left | home and tound his way to this city, which had | been designated as the rendezvous for the mission- aries. They got here very poor, and had much difficulty to raise their peaese money to Liverpool. | White in this city they had to rent a room in an un- finished store house and took lodgings on the floor, and there eat their bread and drank their water until they went on shipboard. During their short , stay in tl uncomfortable position brother Hyde | managed to send a copy of his “ Timely Warnings” “to each of the sectarian priests in the city.” i He left ~~ on the Ist July with the other mis- | sionaries, on rd the ship Garrick, and was the elder chosen to preach on k the Sunday before | their arrival at Liverpoel, Soon after his landing in the Old World he was fuilof business. With his bro- ther missionaries he made quite a stir in Preston, in | Lancashire. The third Sunday Brother Hyde was preaching in the market place, where he had the good fortune to be opposed by a minister. He soon demolished his reverend cprenent, without much trouble, and much tothe delight of their new friends. The same evening the elders confirmed between forty and fifty persons. So successful had they been in that neightorhanl, they were enabled to hold a conference on Christmas day in a large and com- modious building, where were met three hundred persons who been baptised. That day fourteen were confirmed, and about one hundi children blessed. Another conference was held in April, at which eight elders were ordained, besides a consider- able number of priests, teachers and deacons. About sixty children were blessed, and twenty per- sons baptised, thatsame day. In the evening a coun- cil was held, at which fifty official members were pre- sent—such had been the success of Mormonism, through the labors of Elders Kimball, Hyde and one or two others. Having ‘accomplished his mission Brother Hyde returned to this country, and on the 29th July, 1838, preached at Far West, Missouri, where he rend an account of his labors. At the first General Conference of the church, held at Nauvoo, Illinois, on the 6th of April, 1840, Elder Hyde addressed the congregation at some length, | and stated that it had been prophesied some years befere that he had a great work to perform among | the Jews; and that he had recently been moved upon | by the spirit of the Lord to visit that people and | gather up all the information he could respecting | their movements, expectations, &c., and communi- cate the same to the church, and to the nation at large; stating that he intended to visit the Jews,in | New York, London and Amsterdam, and then visit Constantinople and the Holy Land. Following this address it was moved that he proceed on his mis- sion to the Jews, which was ananimouly sustained by the conference. As this mission to that peoole | is the most important event in the life of Brother Orson, and touching a subject on which orthodox Christians are interested—the retarn of the seed of Abraham to the land of their fathers—we have pur- ly hurried over his other missionary labors, to vote greater space to this, that our readers might know what the Mormon apostle had done, in his way and manner, for the accomplishment of that whic! few, very few indeed, expect ever to see realized, | but of which much is heard at missionary meetings. In a small work, which was published by some of the elders for the benefit of his family during his ab- sence, we find, in the introduction, a relation of a vision in his own words. He say Something near cight years ago Joseph Smith, a pro- et and rervant ofthe ort High God, dd Predict pon head that I should yet go to the city of Jerusalem, and be a watchman unto the house of Israel, and perform a work there which would Freatly facilitate, the gathering together of that people—the particulars of which it fs not necessaay to mention here. Year afver year has paseed away since that period, and my labors in tbe ministry have been confines to the Gen- tiles on both sides of the Atlantic In the early part of March last, (184@,) I retirot to my bed one evening as usual, and while contemplating and inquiring out, in my own mind, the field of iy ministerial labor for the then coming seasoa, the vision of the Lord ke cloud of light, burst upon my view. The cities of :don, Amsterdam, Constantinople and Jerasalem all ap din succession before me; and the Spirit said uato fre, “Here are many of the Cnildren of Abraham whom | will gather to the land that I gave to their fathers, and here also a the field of your future labor ements of the a ion of their faith relative to their he settiog up of his Kingdom among rthrow of the present kingdoms ant A and ex the Gentiles, will serve ty f uneiroumotse 1 them, that th great a i thom anaware? a@ a thief erefore. proper credentials from my people, your brethren, and alse from the Governor of your State, | with the seal of authority thereon, and go ye forth to the cities whic een shown unte you, and declare (hese words H 1 say:—'Blow ye the trumpet io 1 aay, assemble yourseir es.

The vision continued open for & number of hours that 1 did not close my eyes in sleep. Thus instructed, the church soon furnished the “proper credentials,” to which Governor Thomas ‘arlin added in a brief note his doje be of Mr. Hyde's preaching that he had heard, and witnessed that he and another apostle, who was appointed to pectin ag. brother Orson, were “gentlemen by re- putation, for talents and Christian-like deportment unexceptionable, and were entitled to the respect and kind treatment of all.” Tn eight days after his appointment the apostle to the Jews was ready to start, “without purse and scrip,” ona mission to Jerusalem, an undertaking which has ever been regarded bythe Saints as a great demonstration of his faith. “warning voice” was heard among the Gentiles throughout the States tili the 13th of February of the follor year; on that day he left New York for Liver . The other apostle, from some cause or other, caved in, and returned to Nauvoo, to give an unsatisfactory account of himself—this retrograde step, by-the-by, being the first which led to his apostacy, and an illustration of the sad effects of disobedience to orders, held up to the gaze of the faithful from that cy! to this. ‘he missio1 got across the waters, and was warmly received by the Saints in England, who took a lively interest in his mission, and helped him to some of the needful to defray his travelling expenses; for, however willing he might be to travel “without urse and szrip’ and be unremunerated for his labors, ¢ found that the Cyesars of the railroads and steam- boats were not precisely of the same faith, and strot ou rendering to “Caesar the things that are Cwsar's. Waile in London he wrote to Dr.S. Hirschell, Pre- sident Rabbi of the Jews there at that time, desirin, an interview; but in consequence of a severe accident which had recently befallen him, he was confined to his room and could not receive him. The apostle, however, wrote him a very lengthy address, re- lated his vision, referred to the ancient glory of Israel, “which once gave them a transcendant eleva- vation above other nations,” and very delicately and very neatly alluded to their ambition now being ‘the accumulation of sordid gain, by buying and sellin; the stale refuse with whieh ‘their fathers woul never have defiled their hands.” Having touched upon some Jewish reminiscences, not over agreeable, he assured the Rabbi that his pen was pointed with friendship and dipped in the fountain of love and goodwill towards his nation, concluding with a touching exhortation to backslidden [srael:— Now, therefore, 0 ye children of the covenant! repent of all your backslidings, and begin, as in days of old, to turn to the Lord your God. Arise! arise and go out from the Gentiles; for destruction is coming from the North to lay their cities waste. Jerusalem is thy home. There the God of Abraham will doliver thee (Joel, ti., 32). There the bencing heavens shall reveal thy long locked for Messiah in ever clouds of light and glory, to execute vengeance upon thine enemies; and lead thee and thy brethren of the ten tribes to sure conquest and certain victory. Then shail thrones be cast down, and the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our God. Then will they come from the east, west, berth and south, and sit down in the kingdom of God with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But the chil- Gren of the kingdom (Gentiles) shall be cast out and the kingdom restored to Israel. The Mormon church, be- lieving in the litera! fulfilment of the unfulfilled Hebrew prophecies, the apostle, in the foregoing quotation, just meant what he wrote about the Gentiles going cown and Israel commg up. an operation which, to tnost people, seems to be yet very distant, but which by the Mormons is regarded as “at the very doors.” On the 20th of June he left London for Rottefdam, in Holland, where he published a smal! work in the German language. setting forth the visions of Jo- seph Smith, the restoration of the ancient Be thood ile here and the first ipetoninien ot Mormonism. Brother Hyde says that he discovered he was an bsence makes the heart grow fonder.” When he espied some of Columbia's fine merchantmen lying in the waters of the Rhine, with the wide spread eagle in glittering gold on the stern, and the stars and stripes conspicuously floating in the breeze, he says his heart leaped into his mouth, the tears burst from his eyes, and before reflection could mature a sentence his a involuntarily ex- claimed “Tam an American.” He adds, by way of apology for this burst of feeling, that while at home the warmth and fire of the American spirit lay in silent slumber in his bosom, but the winds of foreign climes had fanued it intoa flame. From Rotterdam he passed on to Amsterdam, and on and on till he reached Jerusalem, about the middle of October. On his way he bad hard times, was many days at sea without food, had eat snails in considerable uantity, but had ultimately to mourn that even they were not to be had in safficient number to | matirty the cravings of nature. Brother Hyde bad a tight place to yass through. On his passage from Beyrout to Jath fa he says:— At one o'clock, as I was meditating on the deck of the veaeel she was beating down against a sultry schroke very bright glittering sword appeared in the about two yards in leagth, with a beautiful hilt, 4s plain avd complei# as any cut you ever saw; and what is still more remarkabie, an arm, with a perfect hand, stretched itself cut and took bold on the bilt of the sword’ The appearance really mace my hair rise, and the flesh, as it were, W creep on my bones. The Arabs made a wonderful outery at the sight. “0 Allah! Allah! Aliah!”’ (Lord! Lord! Lord!) was their exclamation all! over the Vessel. The apostle says: T mention this because you know there is a command ment to me which says, ‘Unto you it shall be given to koow the oo of the times and the signa of the coming of the Son of Man.’ Brother Orson’s troubles were not at an end. He had an introduction to an American missionary, and growing out therefrom a confab with several other missionaries which led to discussion and burst up in acquaintanceship. The missionaries were satis- fied with old revelations, and as the modern le had not come recommended from any orthodox society, they gave him the cold shoulder and re. fused to introduce him to either Jew or Gentile, Orson was keen and catting in his replies, and pitched into the chilling blasts of sectarianism, and concluded that— ‘The course which the popular clergy pursue in relation to the divine economy looks ax though they would say «0 Lord! we will worship thee with ail our hearts, serve thee with all our souls, and be very pious and holy. We will even gather Israel, convert the heathen, and bring in the millenium, if you will only let us alone that we may do tt in our own Way, and according te our own will. Bat if you speak from heaven to interfere with our plans, or enise any to see visions or dream dreams, or prophecy whereby we are disturbed or interrupted in ‘our worship, we Will exert all our strength and skill to deny what you say, and charge it home upon the devil or some wild fantastic spirit as being its author.” In spite of obstacles, however, the Mormon mis sionary worked his way to acquaintancechip with some of the house of Israel, told his mission, rea- soned with them, and distributed his work in French, German and English. There are many very interesting items in Orson's “Voice from Jerusalem,” aside from his own mis- sion, which we would take pleasure in quoting, but such would demand more space than we can devote to this purpose. A few extracts, therefore, must snffice. On the manners and customs of the East, he says:— They are so similar to what they were in the days of our Saviour, that almost everything which the traveller bebolds is a standing illustration of some portion of Serip: ture. For exataple : I saw two women grinding wheat at 4 little band-mill, consisting of two «mail stones, with a little rude tackling about it, the whole of whieh one man might take in bis arms and carry almost anywhere at pleasure. One would turn the top stone till hor strength was exhausted, and then the other would take ber place, and so alternately keep the grinder in operation. It appears that our Lord foresaw the uity of this custom, ‘even to the time of His second coming; for He said, “ Two women sball be grinding at the miil—one shail be taken and the other left,” end, for aught I know, these two were the identical ones. ‘I also saw the people take a kind of coarse grass and mix it with some kind of earth or peat that had been wet or reduced to the consistency of common mortar, and then lay it out in flattened cakes to dry for fuel. Ithen, for the first time in my life, saw the propriety of our Saviour's allusion—< If God go clothe the grase of the , Which to-day is, aad to morrow is cast tnto the oren, He adds:-- One may read of the custome of t it ie not like seeing them. To read of a good dinner may brighten up & inan's ideas about eating, especially if he be a little hungry: bat to sit down at the luxurious board and eat is far more satisfactory. The sponte ascended Mount Olivet, and very eloquently alludes to the past, and furnishes the Baptists a very excellent morceau:—. As T stood upen this almost sacred «pat and gazed upon the eurrounding scenery, and contemplated the history of the past in counection with the prophetic future. I was lost {n wonder and admiration, and feit almost ready to ack myeeif= Te it a reality that J am here gazing upon this scene of wonders, or am carried away in the fanciful of @ night vision?

Th that I red the garden da branch fr i now have that f Seromalers as the Thames ie to the cockneys, or the sippi to the people of Nauvoo; and from its vast dimensions it would certainly contain water enough to immerse Jerusalem in a day—so the argument on the doctrine of immersion, on the ground that there was not water enough in Jerusalem to immerse three thousand perso’ one day, is founded in an over anxiety to establish tradi- tions of men to the subversion of a gospel ordinance; and it will be borne in mind, also, that the day of Pentecost was in the mouth of just at the close of the rainy season, when all the ‘and fountains in and about the elty were flush with water. The apostle’s mission included a blessing upon Jerusalem. To fulfil this, he says— On Suaday morning, October 24, a while before day, | arose from sleep and went Out of the city as soon opened, crossed the brook Kedron, and ‘went upon the Mount of uives, and there, in solemn si- lence, with pen, ink and paper, just as I saw in the vision, offered up @ prayer to Him who livés for ever and ever. ‘This done, the apostle erected on the top of the Mount “a pile of stones as a witness, according to the ancient custom.” He adds:— On what was anciently called Mount Zion, where the temple stood, I erected another, and used the rod, ascord- ing to the prediction, upon my head. ° Though forced to the conclusion thatbyery many of the covenant people hada greater love for the id of this world than for the god of their fathers, e was, nevertheless, satified that many had faith inthe fulfilment of ancient prophecies, and that, from that day, the gathering to the Holy City and the building up of her waste places would com- mence. Brother Orson was not afraid of the other starched churchmen, and recommended orthodox missionaries doing a great deal for the conversion of the Jews. The lady of one of the American mis- sionaries told him that only four Jewish People in Jerusalem had been converted and baptized by the English minister after a siege of a long spell of years. The Englishman, however, had told a won- derful woodchuck story to the Exeter Hall Chris- tians, and raised enough to commence the erection of an English church in the Holy City. There are many interesting events in the career of Orson Hyde which show that the labors of the Mor- mon elders in this country and in Europe, and in fact in Asia and Africa likewise, have been much more extended than any outsider will have given them credit for. His Jerusalem mission has, however, occu- pied so much space that we can enly glance at his travels and occupations from that time to the pre- sent. From Jerusalem he returned to England and thence to Nauvoo. He passed sometime there and inthe States. He was in Massachusetts when he heard of the assassination of the Smiths. With the others of the Twelve he hastened to Nauvoo and took part in all the affairs of that time. When the leaders of the church, with the greater portion of the Saints left for the Rocky Mountains, he was left in charge of those who remained, and had the super- intendence of the finishing of the Temple. position was anything but agreeable, from the fre- quent menaces of anti-Mormons; neve he saw that edifice finished, and left for winter quar- ters. Buta short time there, he received a mission with the apostles, P. P. Pratt and John Taylor, to set the church in England in order. As an ex- ample of the readiness of men of that stamp to carry out orders, it is stated that when their President, Brig- ham, inquired when they could get ready to start, thcy answered ‘to-morrow; but if business is urgent we can leave this afternoon.” They immediately settled their affairs, left their families in the wilder- ness, living in tents, and started off for England, where they arrived about the beginning of October. Being president of the deputation, Orson had the direction of affairs and became editor of the Millen- nial Star. Mormonism in England at that time was rather sickly, but in a few months the three apostles completely changed the face of Nm and “the wounded lion was again himself.” The three re- turned to the wilderness. Orson was appointed to watch over the Saints who remained at Kanesville and those scattered in the States. In the autumn of 1848 he started there the Frontier Guardian, in which he set forth Mormon doctrines and Mormon politics, and was considered by the Saints a thorn in the sides of his enemies. In the summer of 1850 he visited Utah, and returned to Kanesville the same fall. He visited Utah again in 1851. On his tae fag! Great Sait Lake City, some- where the other side of Laramie, the Pawnee Indians came upon him and his two fellow-travellers, and ing under the yy that the three could travel much better with less baggage, the Pawnees helped themselves to everything that took their taste. Unfortunately for brother Orson, his ward- robe attracted most attention, 80 that he lost all he bad. Resistance would have been madness, 80 none was offered; but the — thought it was more than a joke when the red skins ordered off his nether. As compliance with peremptory demands alone could save sweet life, the Indians had all they sought for. Brother Orson got some little assistance from his fellow-travellers; but with that he had hard work to reach the city. His horses had been taken to increase the stad of the chief. Ina few weeks he returned to the Frontier Guardian. In 1852 he took his family to Utah, where they have since resided. Soon after his arrival he was appointed United States Commissioner, which office he held till ap- pointed Probate Judge of Carson Valley. From there he went on business to Sacramento, during the winter of 1855, and came nigh being lost in a severe storm. His companion returned with the mules, hot neither he nor the animals were ever more seen; Orson persevered and reached the Pog of destina- tion through much suffering. In the spring of the present year he returned to Great Salt Lake City. Brothér Orson has been a great preacher, and during his connection with Mormonism has been a at worker, always engaged in some business. He is much liked by the Saints, and has escaped many of the attacks from outsiders to which other apostles have been subjected. As a politician, he has said and done little except when editor of the Guardian. We have looked over his discourses, and find but one real stave on politics. At the celebratian of the Fourth of July, 1854, he delivered an oration, in which he spoke in the highest terms of the patriotism of the jormons, and their determination to stand by the constitution.

Alexander, and one from the apostie Taylor to Capt. Marcy, all of which have been published in the Heaarp. From the letter of the apostle, and from the discourse he delivered in Great Salt Lake City reeently to a congregation ot from four to five thousand persons, in the presence of Capt. Van Veit, it is very evident that he means to take a leading part in opposing the entrance of the United States troops to the valleys of Utah. Being thus promi- nently before the nation, we give to-day @ sketch of his life, travels and labors:— By birth John Taylor is an Englishman, by nata- ralization an American. He was born at Milnthorpe, county of Westmoreland, England, on the Ist of November, 1808, His parents were neither poor nor wealthy, but just “well to do in the world,” and in cireumstances to give him early the attention of the schoolmaster. On leaving school he passed the re- mainder of his teens in the workshop, where he amassed considerable practical information of me- chanies in general, and attained to great proficiency as a turner. His parents were members of the Church of Enghand; and so to hear the parson, as he facetionsly remarks, “read Ins prayers,” John ac companied them till he was fifteen years of age. Beginning early to think for himself, he thought that religion dead, and Methodism giving at least more outward signs of vitality, he connected himself therewith, and soon became a local preacher. About the year 1829 he came to this country, residing a chort time in this city, Brooklyn and Albany. His father’s family having left “the old country” and settled down near Toronto, Upper Canada, he visited them, and took up his abode in Toronto city, intelligent acquaintances by whom he was much re- spected. He was sincerely a religious man, but, as he frequently says, “never so pious as to wish himself damned for his brethren’s sake,” as some one reports of the ancient apostle to the Jews. John’s earnest- ness in all he et made all around him feel that he was desti to be somebod, he would walls tp nehody's leading. " to him. saw nity, and was sick he had made his Acq was associated with a “few sincere and well educated itlemen,” for the Tapery of searching the Scrip- ‘ures, in hopes of obtaining the light they found not among the sects of the day. They were in earnest— fasted. and prayed. He ‘says that they had faith that if God had a church upon the earth he would send his mee r to them. Under such circum- stances, and with such impressions, P. P. Pratt, one of the earliest Mormon missionaries, had an intro- duction to them. They had heard much against Mormonism, and they put Parley in every fix they could; but he answered their queries and made some of them converts. Brother John was baptized, soon afterwards was ordained an elder, and appointed to preside over the Saints in Upper Canada. In 1837 loseph Smith and the leading men of the movement visited Toronto, and di their sojourn ordained Brother Taylor a high it. Shop after he visited Kirtland, Ohio, the residence of the Prophet, | and was his guest while there. In 1838, during the | troubles, when so many apostatized, he was ‘“de- signated by revelation for the apostleship.” By re- a of the Prophet he moved his family from onto to Kirtland, and thence to Missouri. On ae ron Ohio ell. life necsrnn ee oppo! ity. meant life he: branch of the church near Indianapolis, Ind. On his arrival in Missouri, he and party were ou con- ronted with anti-Mormons, and very soon inducted December, 1685, his sppeintent to th ‘pate mber, , his appointment e apostle: was ratified by the Saych, and he was o1 under of Brigham Young and Heber C. Kimball. While in Missouri he had a large share of troubles and persecutions; through the mobbings in Caldwell and Davies counties, at Adam-on-di-Abman and Far West; and, in Utah phraseology, “came out at the big end of the horn.” He never showed “the white feather,” and has a high reputation as a bold and fearless man. Before quitting Missouri for Illinois he was appointed by the Suints in CaldweH to draft aud sign a memorial to the Legislature of that State, setting forth the most prominent features of the persecution, and praying for redress. He was likewise appointed by the “High Council of Zion” to draft a petition to the general government on the same subject. Soon after his arrival in Illinois he returned to Far West, in company with other prominent Mormons, to fulfil a revelation, which their opponents said should never be fulfilled. It not unfrequently hap- peus in Mormonism that this and that is done—‘that the prophecy might be fulfilled which saith,” &c. Whatever outsiders may think of modern prophets and their inspiration, it is very clear, from an ac- quaintance with Mormon history, that the disciples will not suffer the words of their leader to fall to the ground unfulfilled, if their accomplishment depend on human ene’ which they can contribute or | sacrifices which they can . Joseph had pro- phesied that the Twelve would meet in Far West at | a certain time and receive missions to England, &c., «&c. The Twelve were determined to meet, and did so—of that number was John Taylor. This return to a hostile neighborhood from which | they had s0 shortly before been driven, has ever been regarded as an act of holy boldness, which few men could muster courage The rophecy accomplished and the given, rother Taylor started from Illinois for England, on the 8th of August, 1839, leaving his family in a sol- dier’s barracks at Montrose, Iowa. On the 11th of January, 1840, he landed in Liver- pool, and immediately began to preach and baptize in that town. John Taylor never would creep. His first effort to introduce Mormonism in Liverpool was right in the midst of a somananties of Christrians, after the minister had preached his hour on the vir- tues of the ancients. He asked permission to speak; was refused in the church, but invited into the ves- ti There he made some of them groan and sigh, others sing out “glory,” and the minister shook in his shoes. His first effort was effective: he had friends at once, who shortly became brethren, and Mormon- ism grew and prospered till John Taylor found him- self the occupant of the largest music hall in Liver- pool, where he set forth every Sunday Mor- monism. Mrs. Taylor being the danghter of a captain, of the Isle of Man, he repaired thither and had a regu- lar shindy with the little parsons. They attacked John’s doctrine from the pulpit, and he replied in the public halls. They took to the press to warn their flock far and wide against “the impostor;” but John could write as well as preach: so while they roared “beware of false prophets,” the apostle kept peeeene pes ie reply to their charges, and unkindly adding an examinaflon of Methodism, and every ism by whose representative he was attacked. This was more than was counted on, and the parsons | caved in, leaving John the last in the field. During this time be furnished the young elders a stock of weapons for their opponents, which have been ex: | tensively used everywhere they have travelied. He was the first to Want Mormonism in Ireland; accom- a ag that mission, his labors extended to Scot- nd. While on his first mission to Britain he cor- rected the proof sheets of the first European edition of the “Book of Mormon,” and with Brigham Young and P. P. Pratt made a selection ot hymns for the —- the Saints. He returned to Nauvoo in July, S41. At the October conference of the same year he was appoined one of a committee to petition Con- — for redress of wrongs and injuries sustained in issouri. On him devolved the duty of presenting the petition. When he returned to Nauvoo he was appointed by Joseph Smith to edit the Times and Seasons, a religious periodical, which he continued todo until the expulsion of the Saints from that city. He edited and Toe likewise the Nanvoo Neighbor, in the political interest of the Saints. His career up to this time earned for him the title of “Champion of Rights,” by which he is frequently called by his brethren. He was a member of the City Council, was one of the nts of the Univer- sity and Be Advocate of the Legion. During the troubles in Illinois he was firmly attached to the Prophet, and attended him in many scenes of perse- tion and trial. When, for the safety of the Prophet, he was counselled to leave Nauvoo, John Taylor ac- companied him: and when it was determined that the phet should return and claim a trial, the apostie returned with him. When the Prophet and his brother were killed in Carthage jail,in June, is44, he had a narrow escape from “martyrdom.” With another apostle he was visiting the prisoners, and had just finished singing that old favorite hymnu— A poor wayfaring man of grief, &e., when the balls flew thick and fast into the room where they were sitting. The two brothers were killed, and fonr bells pierced the apostle’s body; the fifth would have probably released him fromall mundane cares, but his watch stop the progress of the lead, and he lived to show his wounds and tell his version of the deed. His wounds were dangerous, bat with early and em attention and kind nursing he got round again fo perfect health, and was ready to leave Nanvoo for the Rocky Mountains in the spring of 1846. At winter quarters he assisted in fitting out the Mormon battalion for the Mexican war. In the fall of the same year he received a mission to England, in com- pany with Orson Hyde and P. P. Pratt. The three aposties had a mission of a few months only, and returned in the opting. Brother Taylor continued his journey with his go on to great Salt Lake City. In the spring of 1849 he was elected one of the Associate Judges under the provisional State of Deseret. In the following October he was appointed to introduce Mormonism to Franee, for which place he left on the 19th of that month. While the com pany of missionaries in which he travelled were iting their horses, two Rn eff rg the other side of Laramie, a large ly of Indians rushed down w them with the evident disposition to fight. The guards discovered the Indians in time to get the horses tied, and with a rush to the rifles and the hasty formation of a line of battle, the mission- aries were ready for pence or war. The Indians were repulsed in several attempts to break their line and turn their flank, whereupon an aged chief made his appearance, excused his rash young men, accepted some crackers and tobacco, and smoked the pipe of peace with his new neighbors. The Indians, satisfied, very courteously filed to the right and left, and escorted the missionaries on their way till they came opposite their village, where they in sisted upon the apostles and two others of the com- pany visiting thelr lodge: The apostle got to France the following summer. On his first appearance at Bonlogne he was aroffly met by some ministers. They went to his meetings, interrupted the proceedings and challenged him to discussion. He accepted, and had three nights’ dis- cussion with a Methodist, Independent and Baptist. From Boulogne he went to Paris, and at once set about the translation of the “Book of Mormon,” which was accomplished and published under his superin- | tendence and on his reponsibility. He likewise | started a paper called Etoile du Deseret (the Star of Deseret), in which he eet forth the peculiar doe trines of which he was the apostle to the French. During his residence in Paris he was well known to the Protestant ministers, who are pretty sociable with each other in that city and pretty frequently together, but they never attacked the apostie, and he let them alone. “He was there during the unsettled state of the republic, and before he left Napoleon | le i “ was master.
