BYECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. Provo, U. T., June 28, 1858, After the deperture of the last Eastern mail at eight e’elock on the morning of the 26th, your correspondent found bimeelf in an awkward situation. He had been for some time in the Territory—yea, in the Holy City ftself— but bad not seen Mormondom, had not beheld the greatly bused Latter Day Saints, bad not looked upon the “ charming creatures’ of their harems, had never heard a Mormon sermon, and, above all, had not gased upon the refulgent face of tho Prophet of the Lord, Mr. Brigham Young. To do all this the enguing day— yeaterday, it being the Sabbath—was determined, Dut there was one difficulty to be encountered; namoly, obtaining means of transit hither. My horse a few days Defore had disappeared—run away or stolen; to obtain ene from the Saints was impracticable. I had offered two Gays prior five times the value of an animal’s hire for one, ‘Dut in vain. Nevertheless, another vain effort was made fm that direction, After exhausting all visible means of obtaining my object, it was about being given up ia de- spair, when a Gentiiish Mormon—or, as an elder of this saintly people would express it, if It had been his caso— the power of the Lord came to my relief. This gevtle manly Mormon was Capt. ‘iooper, who, by the way, woks more like a Gentile than any other Sa‘nt I re geen in the Territory, Ho is « tall, rather slender built maa, with ‘a five countenance, heavy bla:k beard ani a good eye; pe dresses very well, though plainty, Well, this Saint eourteously extended @ seat in his carriaoy, 4) 9 miomber of the ‘steno press,” saving he would wend it down to Prove w contey Mr. H. M. McFireth, agent of the house of Robertson, Hudson & Pallia, of New York, who had arrived in the Territory a day or two be- fore, and myrelf there; that wo could retain it as long as we liked, and return with it when we chose. The offer was gladly accepted. A letter of introduction was given us to Mr. Bullock, the keeper of the hotel in Provo, at which ‘we were to put up. Gerera) Fergueon, a young, rather good looking, neatly eressed geutleman, who is the adjutant general of Genera! Wells, gave me the following letter of introduction to ex- Re % introduce you.

After giv img the requisite (harks to Gen. Fargason for his introduc- tion to a real I've Prophet, he made this reply:—“Now, gentlemen, if }u should hear anything in charch to mor- row that jou don't quite understand, doen't oomment too severely upen it” A diplomatic answer was returned. We traveiled directly south from Zion’s capital. For some @istance along cur left there were fine flelds of wheat. ‘The @ bas to be irrigated. On our right there was the parchea piain, bearing here and there sufficient grass for good grazing.

The day ‘was intensely het; the sun poured down as it wore a flame of Gre upon us, while on the mountains to our le’t, loomed up beits of eternal snow, seemingly but 4 fow hundred yards divant.

Saur Laxe Orey, July 2, 1853. As carly as eight o’clock on the morning of tho 20th ultimo, the army began to move through thiscity. Ea. tering from Emigration Canon at the eas', the troops passed north to South Temple street—marched by Brig- bam’s houses, with baaners flying and drums beating; therce past Temple Block square to the west of the city; thence straight west to the bridge across Jordan. A band of sappers aad miners were in the van to streugthen the bridge before the army could cross. The order of marci has already beon given. The Mormo.1s wore greatly sur. prised at the vast number of wagons counected with tue army. Each division was followed by ite wagons , «) there was a body of troops and thon aa immense line of wagons, which were driven tarougn tho city at full trot. The day was intensely hot, mao aod ‘beast sweating copiously. Dense clouds 0 dust were raised by the advance of the wagons, the men porspiriog with labor and the heat, and enveloped by the dust ; their faces, covered with sweat, were recoated with dust, till they looked as Diack as tho earth upon which they trod. The Mormons(greatiy aimired the military bande, particularly the excellent one pertalaing to the Tenvh infantry. Not a mao left the raoks in paasing Uhrough the city; not a stick nor stone belonging to Zion was touched; tho army passed throught it as bastily as possible, and then shook the dust oif from their feet by leaping into the Jordan for a bath, which every men of them needed. It was night before the inet of the army and its appurtenacces got through the city. A)l encamped beyond Jordan. On the 27th ult. numerous officers entered tbe city; about 60 of them took dinacr at the Globe. No soldicta, however were permitted to cross the troubled stream of Jordan. Everythiog passed off quietly in the city. Some of tho Saints, however, com- plained of the freedom with whicli a few of the officers expressed their opinions. Monday morning, the 28th ult , General Johnston, with his staff cffisers, Major McCullocn and Dr. Hurt, started in search of @ pormanent cam;- They passed west to Great Salt Lake, wound around the foot of the West mountains, and then turned south to Bush Velley. They returned to the army last night. During the trip M»jor MoCallocb, who was gratifying hi advcnturous back woods spirit, got up ato the moantaw and was lost. Experisnce, however, had taught him never to feel lost; so, regarding the points of the com pass, he made up his mind as to the direction of the army, and ceasing the endeavor to return to his immediate com- panicns, struck ecross the mountains for the army, ar- riving there early yesterday wornivg, after a very fa- tiguing journey. On Tuesday, the 29ih ult , the army, under Col. Alex ander, tbe senior officer present, struck their tents and moved up the Jordan (southward) ten miles, Oa the 30th the march wag resumed, but directed west, to what are bere called the West Mountains—that is, the mountains oa the weat side of this valley. The army is now encamped at the fcot of said mountains, some twenty miles distant. In a few days the army wili wove down to Codar Valley, about ferty miles south and west from this place, and tea miles west of Lebi. it will probably winter there and in the sdjacect valleys. Cedar Valley is beyond the Jordan river and lies between the foot of the first aad the body of the eecond mountain west of this valley, ‘The Mormons bave begun to retarn to their homes: numbers bave already arrived in this city, and others are on the way.
