After several weeks of active observation in this Territory, two things are prominently impressed upon my mind. The first is, that Inever could have comprehended the greatness, boldness and bare- facedness of Mormon braggartism, unless I had seen it and the grounds upon whieh it is based. The second is, that I would not have fally appre- ciated the discipline, good order and devotion of this little army unless I had been a witnessto it. But ample facts, showing the existence of this con- dition of matters, have been developed heretofore. Some personssuppose the regular army is com- posed of men with broken down eonstitutions. Such is not the case. Every man, before he can be taken into the army, has to be examined in puris naturali- bus by a medical officer. The smallest physical de- fect excludes him from ‘following the path of war.” A vast majority of the persons applying to enter the service are rejected. It is true the common soldiers are very poor, but they are not so ignorant as is generally supposed In looking over the pay rolls I was surprised to see how many men signed their own names. There are, indeed, but few men in this command who cannot subscribe their names. There are a great many foreign born citizens in the regular service, but they make good soldiers. The number of Americans among the'rank and file of the army is much greater, though, than is commonly suspected. Tale, for in- stance, the largest company in this conmand—Com-. pany I, Tenth infantry, under the command of that accomplished gentleman and officer, Captain Jesse A. Gove—and it will be found to be composed almost entirely of Americans, craftsmen and laborers from New England, who, leaving other callings, elected to bear their country’s banner mid peace and war, through friends and foes. Every man in this command knows his duty, what is expected of him, and the consequence of neglecting duty or violating instructions. Some. times men will transgress military discipline, but, having done so, they quietly await and expect the prescribed result, Cedar Valley, the present encampment of the army, secures to it a fine military position, also beautiful and picturesque scenery. Mountains gird it about on the southwest and north, while to the east are spread out to view the ever placid waters of the Utah lake, far beyond which rise and roll away among the clouds the lofty ranges of the Wasach mountains. Grass, wood and water are obtained as abundantly and easily as they could be in almost apy other part of the Territory, but the quality and quantity of either or all of them merits n0 com: mendation. The valley is little more than a bed of sand; a permeating dust or powder is raised from the ground in great clouds by the smallest movement of man or beast. It is quite impossible to per- form military evolutions on a large scale, or to drill more than a company at a time. The nights are quite cold; the days are intensely hot, though there is generally a slight breeze from the mountains. Snow can be obtained six miles from camp in large qaantities. The officers have small cedar trees set out close around their tents,as much to keep out therdust as the sun. It is very quiet, very dull in camp at present. The men when off duty keep in their tents out of the sun during the heat of the day. At least half of the officers are going to apply for a furlough to go East and spend the win- ter. As they have passed so many lonely months among these mountains, enduring cold, storm, hardship and destitution, and as many officers are expected to come in fram the States, the general commanding will probably give leave of absence to sll the officers who apply for it if the proper regimental officers have previously signed said application. ‘This country is so poor and destitute that General Johnston does not deem it advisable to attempt to build costly permanent buildings. The army will continue to live in tents. No appropriations have been made, and I believe Gen. Johnston has not re- ceived authority to build storehouses here; but as such houses are absolutely necessary for the preser- vation of the munitions of war, he has taken the re- sponsibility to order the coustruction of some cheap but substantial and secure storehouses. They are to be built in this valley, ten and a-half miles below the present camp. Bids for furnishing the army with hay and wocd during the winter, also the ma- terials for the buildings, have been advertised for. If the Mormons will furnish such supplies at the or- dinary price, all right; if not, General Johnston will turp ont the army and make it obtain said supplies for itself. Brigham recently sent Gen. Johnston a bill of over a thousand dollars, to be paid for the army's occupancy of a district of country “the other side of Jordan.” ‘The chief items were the cating up of grass and the burning of poles. The General, on the 17th inst, sent Capt. B. Marcy, Inspector General, and Lieut. C. Grover, Provost Marshal, into Zion, to see Brigham, and also to examine into the alleged da Aiter some discoortesies, in the shape of waitiog at the gate of bis fortified square till understrappers ran to and from the Prophet seve- ral times, they were admitted to hi« au presence. Our officers were not perma so the Prophet and his armed minions did not have everything their own way. The interview was not the most cour- teous in the world. Brigham asked Lieut. G: if he was the Provost Marshal. “! am,” was the reply. Tee following dialogue then ensued: —- Paormer—| believe you are the man who claims to have shed the first Mormon blood in the Mormon war’ Lieatenant Grover! do not know, sir, to what report you refer, otherwise I would answer ou more distinctly; bot if you refer to a report that has been circulated in Salt Lake City, and which was originated, as | understand, by a Mr. Ls yd Il have merely to say that that report was ft on tirely.
