CONDITION OF THE MORMONS ARRIVING FROM SALT LAKE CITY, Some of the deceived followers of the latest false Prophet arrive at this post in ® moat deplorable condition. If their Lappiness hereafter should be in an inverse ratio to their eufferings bere, they certainly could have a well- grounded hope of qn immortality of abundant bliss. De. parting from the habitation of the Saints in coutradis- tuction to the anathemas buried upon them by Brigham, tney suffered fearfully from the cold. Oa the 19th ultimo there arrived here a party of twon- ty nine persons, of whom six were women, five men, and eighteen children. One mater familias had crossed the mountaws during very severe weatoor in almost a state of nudity, Her dress coasisted of part of « single, solitary ekut, part of a man’s sbirt, ani a portion of a jacket. Thus babited, witnout a shoe orathread more than # above catalogued, she had walked 157 miles in snow, the eee eee her kaees, and carried ia arms @ sucking bade lovs thea six weeks old. [oo soldiers, it will be readily cooceived, have uot too great au abuncance of clothes, but when they saw such a pite ous picture they pulled off tneir clothes aad gave them to the uatertinete woman, who, gratefully accepiing, dress- ed herselt warmly in them. As aa iasiauce of the kiud- nees of the soldiery to such ill fortuae-favored beings, I will mention an act of one of the goldiers of the Touth Infantry. He went to Judge Eckels and said: “Here are thease poople paked—take this $10 and give it to them ” Yhe Judge asked the eoldier if ho had any more mo: He said be bad not, but that those poor peopie ne: more than he did, and persisted in giving it to thom. None of this party of twenty-uiae had any shoes; they were ail clothed in a day after thetr arrival; at least $200 in clothes soa money were givea thom. Such is the goa» Tous treatment of these unfortunates by the soldiers; but such scenes only make them (the soldiers) a anxious to revenge these sufferings upow the criminal who have caused them, and to relieve those who may bondage aod pover y. About 1nd ormoas arrived several days jater, in much better cua. Gitlov , Wey came with teams, with good supplies of eggs anc the like.

Joesph Conois tried to get away with his famiiy while the Governor was la the Mormon capital, bat his wite was ¢riven south aud pe bad to leave without hor. Samuel Ramsden bas sworn betore Jadge Eckels that Miio Andres Killed his third wife last month, whiie tas Governor was in there, ip tois wise:—Mre. andres wis a @oman of a superior character, much beloved and re- garded by her neighbors: having doubts as to the righteousness of polygamy rue communicate 1 them to ove of her sisters in the church, sad expressed a desire to go to the States.

Richards with his small express company —Sayder, Green, Hatch, Clinton, Wakely and Turner—arrived here this morning, in thirty-five days from Florence. By this you will learn our latest information from the Sta‘es. I was disappointed in learning from brother R. that ho had no letter for us, though he had seen you several times in New York, It is common tous all to wish for letters, and to feel sorry at the silence of distant friends, but we sel- dom esteem our own communications to be of the same value to others. In future, 1 hope that n> epportunity of communication will be neglected. ‘The Inst time that I wrote to you I was warranted by circumstances to urge you to come here at the first open- ing of emigration, and I fully anticipated secing you be- fore mapy months; but now, my sons, my hopes for the present are blasted. When I may have tho privilege of seeing you in the flesh is beyond my ken; an4, waat worse, I sce no basis from which comforting hope mi spring. I have every confidence in your integrity before the Lord, and feel that with me you will bear the dispon- sations of Providence for perfecting us in the schooi of adversity and experience without a murmur. Wo were yesterday informed in our ward meeting of the immediate departure of an express for the States under the direction of brothers Murdock and Kuowlwo, sol resolved to writs you, lest I might not find such an Opportunity again for some time to come—that you m'gbt know that we are ail well and enjoying heaith and hap i- ness, and joy and peace in our most uapopular religion. ‘TUB MORMONS STRONG IN THIELE RELIG From ali that has transpired and is trauspiring in the world in oppusition to Mormonism, particularly during the last two years, you may be ready to conclude tha! wo areall ina most pitiable position; but I am bappy to teil you, my sons, tnat we wore never better ia our religion, Bever more truly devoted to it, never more conviwced of ite divinity, aud never have epjoyed more of the Spirit of the Lord. During tast tail and winter nothing t was more apparently certain thaa that we would our city crowded with military forces, seat to put down order, and establish riot and coniasioa tureughout the Territory.
