All Quiet in Salt Lake City—No Trouble Antici- pated—The Laws To Be Obeyed—Observ- ance of the Grand Church Holiday— Brigham Young Interviewed. Sar Lake Orry, Oct. 4, 1871. Every thing 18 as quict in the City of the Saints as summer day. The excitement has very generally abated, and it is quite certain that there is Little or nochance of any disturbance of the peace. The government oficials are of this opinion, and no rea- sonable man doubts its correctness, Somebody must have sent East a very exaggerated statement of the situation here to create the intense excite- ment which appears to have existed there, Nothing has ocourred here “that would justify any serious fears of au outbreak. The movement of a handful of troops was merely a precautionary measure, and its effects were salutary. Ido not think that the measure was 1 advised, and the officials were undoubtedly thoroughly posted on the situation. ‘To-day the prairie schooners, or covered wagons, ; are coming into the city from all points, even the most distant of the Territory, filled with men, women and children, to attend the semi-annual Conference ofthe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Salots, to be held in the great Tabernacle to this city to- morrow, The streets present an animated appear- ance, with the unusual collection of wagons and horsemen and miners. The stores are doing a lively business with the women from the country, who are laying in thelr winter supply of groceries and clothing, and altogether the scene 1s anything but warlike. +» The News, oficial organ of the Church, contains to-night a long editorial on the efforts of the federal omMicials to enforce the law as against the leaders of the Church, which it characterizes as a crusade against religions liberty. It says that the officials have ali the advantage apparently to start with. We shall see how the struggle t# ended. They (the Mormons) are willing, nevertheless, to Oght the battle In the courts. They don’t expect justice there, The federai oniclals hoped fora great disturbance orafight, In this they are disappointed. Personatly Mr. Cannon views the proceedings of the present Court as he would a mob court, and he thinks he wowd be justified in resisting its process as he would those of @ mob; yet, if accused, he thinks he mignt go before it and stand trial, because, by so doing, he would show the nation that he re- spected itsauthority, and have the charge decided, not before Judge McKean, but by the verdict of the country, whether religious liberty 13 to be pre- scribed and men oe denounced ag criminals for their religious belief. He shinks he will yet be stig- matized as w crusader against religious hberty. Nowhere does Mr. Cannon squarely and openly ad- mit that he will stand a trial freeiy. That question 1g to be decided hereafter. The tone of the presa ts more temperate and peace- ful and is no louger infammatory. Mr. Young ts better to-day and has been grantea & few interviews. He expresses himself entirely ready to stand a trial and vindicate his innocence before a jury against any accusation that may be brought against him. He laugha'’at tne idea of his contemplating foroibie resistance to tne authorities im the execution of their duties and the laws. That ts the feehing of all his counsellors. There will be no trouble, and capital will be as safe here as in any part of the United States, At an interview with Brigham Young to-day he appeared somewhat improved and more disposed to converse on the situation. Me laughed upon hear- ing of the sensational reports sent East and averred that there was no quieter or more orderly place to be found on the Continent. He had not the” least feeling of uneastneas or doubt since the proceedings egainst him and his people had begun. He was pained to hear that President Grant had anthorized this crnsade. He said it wassimply the power of to uestroy them witu Methodist Governers, judges and packed juries of the Methodist versuasion; but who, by the blessing of God, had totally failed in inducing a singie member of Zion's flock to abjure the faith, It was proposed, he said, prosecute him, first, for lascivious cohabition, under the Utah statutes; then to try Lim for bigamy or polygamy; and, finally, to hold him for various murders committed by Bill Hickman and other ontilaws, who were called Dantbas, or destroying angels. They were thought- fl to begm gently with him, but, said he, “! am content to abide by every jaw that 13 just, for every law that prohibits free- dom of religious belief must be decided anconstitn- tonal, and the verdict woald be the total defeat of the bad men now seeking (0 injure and ais. grace him and his people. If there is any trouble the responsibility will be with the officials Who had got it up. The right will triumph as in the past, so will it be in the futare. The Mormans had Met their enemies and vanquished them with their Own Weapons, and would do so again. Although, said Brigham, 1m the present Issne, every member of the conrt is my avowed enemy, and every man Mot ‘an outspoken hater of whe Mormons exoluded from the jury, 1 will go into court on whatever charge they may cook up, and trast to the good sense of the people at large to see that something likc justice be done. He was happy to He thought the time bad arrived for the capitpllats residing here and in the term cities, and engaged i developing the mines, to rise up in thelr strength and to enter their united protest to the President against the course of these officials who, he said, weré keeping out capital from the East and England. I propose, said Brigham, to have peace here, and I beueve the Mormons will never do aught to disturb that peace. The rumored troubles are the work of wickea men, wlio want trouble for their gain. Much more was saia and apparently of a pacfic natare; but it was evident Brigham felt much dls- tarbed, freqnentiy holding his head down npon his bands and seeminglg speaking with himself hike a man tn trouble and grief.

Destruction of Immense | ests in Wisconsiu.~ DEVASTATING FIRES IN MINNESOTA, Hundreds of Miles of Territory Burned Over. SIX OR SEVEN COUNTIES RUINED. Great Destitution Among the In- habitants. Green Bay, Wis., Oct. 4, 1871. Theo fires which are now prevailing in six or seven northwestern countics of Wisconsin never had a parallel since the settlement of the country. The edrought which prevailed early in August dried up springs, streams and vegetation, and parched the ground to such @ depth below the surface that the soil itself burns, and living trees are falling from the action of the fires, which undermine them. All outatanding property is swept away, there being no water available to stop the fires. f Barns &nd thelr contents, haystacks, corn, wood and other property, together with hundreds of miles of fences are burned, a5 no resistance can be offered to the approaching fires as yet. There ts no authentic account of the loss of life, although a family in Kewannee county and some Indians in Shawanaw county are reported burned. The hardest fights against the flames are made at @ quantity of sawmills located among the pine forests of this region, but many of them have been burned. All the force available from the adjacent Places has ben called to the assistance of the threat- ened mulls ana settlements, In some cases the resisiance against the fire has met with success, The work has been 60 long and harrassing and the men so exhausted that in Mauy places the contest has been given up. In places where no water is available trenches have been dug arouna property, but the glightest wind carries the burning bark through the air and ren- ders such efforts useless. ‘The Advocate to-day estimates that an area of 150 @quare miles is being burned over. Three saw mills are positively known to have been burned, and others are reported to be destroyed, but the reports lack confirmation. In Kewanee county from sixty to eighty dwellings and barns have been burned, the inhabitants feetng to the lake shore for safety. At Horne’s pier @ store, six dwellings, shops, farms and other butldings have been consumed. It is said that the inhabitants saved themselves by retreating to the pier and taking up the planks communicating with the shore. Two rivers, two creeks, Kewanee and other villages are more or less damaged. in Darr county great quantities of property got out for shipment have been burned, On the west side of Green Bay and Fox River the flames extend from Memonee to Ochoosk, @ distance Of 120 miles, and are thirty miles in breadth. This region ts one of alternate pine and hard wood tun- ber, and is thickly settled. Haystacks, fences and briages are mostly gone; in some cases large lots of pine logs in dried-up streams were bummed. Very little travel is practi- cable. It is with diMculty that definite particulars can be obtained. Timber in the State Destroyed=A Starving Population. MILWAUKEE, Oct. 4, 1871. Aspecial despatch from Grecn Bay says the fires | which have been raging in the woods between there and Michigan have extended across Fox River, and cover @ strip thirty miles wide in Shawano and Oconto counties, ‘The large lumbering towns of Marinette and Peshtigo are toreatened with de- struction. of territory.

Many of the people nave: peen prostrated, suffocated by une neat and smoke and had to be carried by their comrades to places of safety. All supplies of food (or man and beast have been destroyed, and starvation during the coming winter stares them in tne face.

A great fire is raging in the woods and prairies | wo from Breckenridge to the Big Woods in tis State, ithas already caused a fearful amount of damage and the loss of at least five lives. It vegan on Friday morning last, and has already swept over a range of country 200 miles in extent. Houses, barns and haystacks have been swept away as dust by the terrible conflagration. Warenouses along the line of the St. Paul and Pacific Railroad have been burned, and a train of cars in attempting to pass through the fire last night came near suffocating all the passengers. ‘The cars were Oiled with cinders and pieces of vurn- ing wood. The amount of damage done thus far romor puts | at $2,000,000; the actual loss may go either above or below that Ogure before the fre is subdued. Every one is excited at present, and prone to fix the losses very high. It is, however, certain that there has never before been such a fire in Minnesota, Hundreds of farmers have been ruined, nd they setves and families. The fire is now witbin a hundred miles of 8’.

President and his company drew up and alighted in front of the colors, and after saluting the officers passed in review down the front and up between the lines, which had asaumei the open order form. Afterwards the President took position on the right of the line, and the veterans passed him in review, in columns of four, tothe chapel. While the men were passing Intu the chapel the President was driven about the grounds. At about two o'clock the President appeared upom the platform of the chapel, and was greeted with hearty applause. He sat upon the right, and was the object of wnusua: opservation. Manager Gunckle, Attorney General Akerman, Governor Brown and others also had seats upon the platform. Ladies were seated upon the right ana left, and the auditorium was crowded with eager veterans.

THE PRESIDENT’S REPLY. Fresident GRANT, Who arose When addressed b: Mr, Ganckle and stood daring his address, advaucec alittie, and with @ modesty that encroached upon timidity, said, substantially, that to the veterans belore him, on this occasion, he desired to express tification to meet them. It gratified him to sce them so comfortable and happy. They had received their wounds in an honorable cause and deserved the gratitude of the peopie. It was true that this was the first time he had visited them, but this was owing to circumstances be could not control, Hereafter he would make it a potut to visit tnem, mot only at this Bmwve, but as After again expressing his sym. pathy with the veterans who had been uis- abled in the honorable cause for which they fought, the President thanked them for their cordiai welcome aud resumed his seat, the veterans giving him uine hearty cheers, Meantume the President's face betrayed nothing; but it was observed by those who sat near him that his eyes were glancing and racing all over the animating scene belure and around him. Mr. GUNCKLE next introduced Mr. AKERMAN, At- torney General of the United States, who sald that very unusual and avery hard task had been Im- posed upon him; he was not a soldier, but a iawye7, necustomed to the verbose speaking of his profes- that men of labor are not only the real authors of the mate. rial welisbeing, but the best defenders of the honor and inter- esis of the country, It 1s therefore no less the dictate of wise | policy than of sound principle that the rights of labor be fully Maintained, and every possivle opportuaity of Individuat im- | | provement ‘be secured by lawa to the workingmen ot country. ‘Restlved, That in view of the continually recurring ca- Jamities jn the coal mines throughout the world, and tu fearful sacrifices of life, Himb and wealth consequent there. on, we demand, in the interest of humanity, that the State Legislature ahall at once pass such laws for’ the protection of operative miners of this State as will fully respond to the Fea ements of the new constitution in reference to that subject.
