SFECIAL CORRBSPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. Sact Laue Cry, July 16, 1858. Brigham Young, Exq., bas really received a revelation fem the Lord commanding him to hold his voice for » ‘season. On dit, that this Divine decree of the omnipotent Ruler of the universe, to this potent delegate on this mondane spheroid, has its origin, motive, and abiding ‘nase in the presence of your humble correspondent here fm the holy City of Zion. The length of the season for which, per command of the Almighty, ‘‘the Gospel is to be locked up,” depends, according to popular credence, eatirely upon the duration of the residence of this same wEpretending individual among this saintly people. It is a ‘very farcioo-ludicrous condi:ion for a live Prophet to bein, fiat be can neither teach, nor preach, nor prophecy, for Sear some fellow will tell the world what ho says. Peor, pitiable Brigham ! How holy must be his inspiration, how sacred his language, how divinely politic his teachings, when the fear of the world’s knowing what ho says closes his august mouth. A gentleman who was conversing with ‘two of Brigham’s wives last Sabbath, expressed great axiety to bear the Prophet preach, and asked when there would be church service here again, so that he ould hear him. The sisters replied: “Brigham will not preach again #0 long as you have a Gentile shorthand re- porter here to take down his discourses.” Consider- img this fact, it might mot be am injudicious mission- ary speculation for the good people ef New York to employ an able shorthand writer, and send him on here to stay the tongue of this supreme blasphemer by report- dug bis sermons in thetr native hidiousness to the world. The concurrent testimony of Gentiles who have resided several years in this valley of Mormons, in good church standing and out of good church standing, is, that no ser- moa preached by Brigham Young was ever laid before the publicas delivered. The ‘orm a reporters, some of whom are comy: ... men, bave always corrected the Prephet, put good instead of bad grammar into his mouth, softened his harshness, smoothed or remoulded his sen- ‘tences—in short re written his discourses before they ‘were placed in the hands of the printer. Notwithstanding ‘ail this, the world knows how his sermons have looked im print. There is now, for the first time ia the history of the Territory, a Gentile in it competent to give the world ‘truthful reports of his sermons. The prophet does not like to exhibit himself as an ignoramus; be does not want the world tozee what a despicable figure he would cut, notwith- tanding his inspiration, were his sermons printed verbatim; he does not, under existing circumstances, deem it pra- ent to continue his low, vulgar, slanderous, treasonadle talk, when it would be laid before the nation; nor can he, for fear of losing his power among his own people, be #0 grorsly inconsistent as to turn round and talk and teach ‘them the very opposite of what he hes hitherto done. Hence this convenient, politic revelation, to cease preach. tmg foratime. The Prophet evidently feels himself in a quandary, but the beginning of his tribulations are not ae yet. Albert Cumming may be the Governor of this Territory te jure, but Brigham Young is the Governor of it de factor ‘Shall this be #0? Is it in accordance with the spirit or deter of the United States constitution and laws? Brig. bam Young, in his fortified block, is surrounded by an armed guard, (said to be three hundred strong.) Are not ‘el! Territorial troops or bodies of armed inhabitants of the Territory subject to the orders and control of the Go vernor of the ferritory?

If he is in persona danger, let him, like any other private citizen, apply for protection to the proper suthorities—the ‘courts Mf be shows good cause, grounds or basis for his applica tion, protection will be furnisned him as it is to every other American citizen. But if Brigham, surrounded by several ihousande ot his own people, who, he pretends are devoutly and religioutly attached to his person, need armed protection, how much more do the twenty or thirty rentiles bere, scattered through a city of pardoned rebels, peed it? He has no claim, no right, no title to his armed juard of obedient hounds whom, at any moment, he can fev Joore upon the city to intimidate, assassinate and ter- rorize bis own or our people If any guard is needed here, it needed by our few true American citizens who have bad their companions here coward!: bed in the back, whose possessions have been pill of whom have, without cause or complaint, been imprisoned for months, others of whom have bad ‘their lives throatened, and others st!!! of whom bave fled, with assassins swift ing on their track, Were and cowards ‘we might with reason claims Fane guard against those who, save for an actof un! jed mercy, would at Jeaat in sentence be banging pendent from the griving hal ter; but, as it is, the Gentiles, though few, bear themselves fearlessly and proudly.

In my opinion, had there been in reality one, the treaty would have passed without the alteration of a comma.

Basides the moacy they brougt with them a costly saddle, valued at $100, as & present to Martinez, and a number of fancy dressing cases to be distributed to the Cabinet Ministers, worth $50 apiece, as a bribe. ‘On the 30th they started without coming to Greytown, baving supplied themselves with a quantity of sour claret from the steamer and sot mouidy biscuks to regale ‘upon on the way. Six miles Up they stopped at old Pat- ten’s place and asked for wood. Patten told them he would sell them three or four cords of wood for the cash, Allen said he would give bim an order on Scott. Patten refused, saying Scott's name was no account there. They thea paid cash for two cords, $12, and coatinued on seven miles furtber, to ‘‘Datch Pete’s,” where they got $60 worth more on time, Pete not being well posted in regard to Boott’s exchequer. ‘This tagk them up the rapids to Dun’s place, ‘ Savolo;” here they got more wood on time, which served them from there to San Carlos, where was found the steamer 1a Virgin, on which they embarked and crossed the Lake to Granada; here they met the President, Martinez, with Herress, Jerez and others. Here the bills came crowding in upon Allen, which had been contracted by Webster, almost enough to swamp him and the embassy. Notes due for money loaned to Webster—all moaus were tried to evade and Bt them off, but to no , as the officials told Allen they would hold him im country until he paid them. Allen tried to drive Captain Clapp and crew of the Virgin on shore.

Ve ‘on sbore with the Allens, on their way down the river, ai Fort San Carlos, and forced them to pay every cent with the exception of that due Captain Bond and Hutton. The Aliens nervously paidall the others, and said to these men, “if you pepe ed y I must pay ou here, but if you are willing to walt until we return to ‘an Juan it shall be all right.”’ Oa their arrival they de- manded the pay promised, but received not one cent, the Allens and the money being concealed in rice bags upon Punta Arenas, where no one exercises jurisdiction save old Joe, and might as well be old “Nick.” Mr. L.. Miller, the agent at San Juan, was forced to give bis own note for Vanderbilt's debts, Mr. Alien refuring both Miller and Webster one cent. While the party were at San Carlos they received # note from Belly that the filibusters would be on the river San Juan in fourteen days, and would bar- ricade the river with iron fortifications; that they were coming JP eee force. They embarked Allen’s party in bupgos took 200 men on board for Castillo, and re- tained the steamer above the fort for thelr own purposes. Martinez is now there actively barricading, and asserts that in twenty-fours they can press 600 men with the aid of the steamer. Vega is in command of the steamers, river and iake.
