“The geetlraea who tre es trusad with
this note. Mr. John B. Kimball and Mr.
Fay Worthen, are engaged in mercantile
pursuits here, and are represented to be gen
tlemen of the highest respectability, and
hare no connection with tne church here.
Should you deem it adrisuble or necessary, 1
you will please send any communications in
tended for me by them. 1 beg leave to
commend them to your confidence and cour
tesy : they will probably return to the city
in a few days. They arc well known to
Messrs. Hilbert. Perry £ ltarr, with whom
you will please communicate.
“ Very respectfully, your ob't serv't.
"A. CI'MMIKO,
•• Governor of Utah Territory.
‘‘A. Si. Johnston. Col. of Cavalry, com
manding Army of Utah, Ft. Scott,*U. T."
The note omits to state that I met parties
of armed men at I/ost and Yellow creeks,
as well as at Kcho canon. At every point,
however, I was recognized a-. the governor
of U tuh. and received with a military sa
lute. When it was arranged with the Mor
mon officer in command of my escort that I
should pass through Kcho canon at night. 1
inferred that it was with the object of con
cealing the barricades ami other defences.
I was therefore agreeably surprised by an
illumination in honor to me. The bonfires
kindled by the soldiers from the base to the
summitsof the walls of the canon complete
ly illuminated the vulley ami disclosed the
snow covered mountains which surrounded
us. When I arrived at the next station, 1
found the “emigrant road," over the " Big
mountain." still impassible. 1 was able to
make mv way, however, down “ Welter can
on.'’
.Since my arrival 1 have been employed
in examining the records ol the supreme
ami district courts, which 1 urn now prepar
ed to report as being perfect and unimpair
ed. This will doubtless be acceptable infor
mation to those who have entertained an
impression to the contrary.
I have also examined the legislative rec
ords und other books belonging to the office '
of secretary of state, which are in perfect
preservation. The property return, though
not made up in proper form, exhibits the
publie property for which W. 11. l(oo]>cr
late secretary of state, is responsible. It is.
in part, the -urne for which the i.-tate of A.
W. Babbitt is liable, that individual having
died whilst in the office of secretary of statu
for Utah.
I (relieve that the hooks and charts, sta
tionery, ami other property appertaining to
the surveyor general's office will, upon ex
amination, be round in the proper place, ex- i
oopt some instruments, which are supposed
to have been disposed of by u person who
was temporarily in charge of the office. I
examined the property, but cannot verily
the matter, in consequence of not having at
my command a schedule of projs-rty return.
The condition of the large and valuable
territorial library has also commanded my
attention, and I am pleased in being able to
report that Mr. W. U. Staines, the librari
an, has kept the books and records in most
excellent condition. 1 will, at an early day,
transmit u catalogue of this library, ami
schedules of the other public property, with
certified copies of the record* of the supreme
und district courts, exhibiting the character
and amount of the public business lad tran
sacted.
On the '_Mst inst. I left Gn-at Halt Lake
City, and visited Tuilla and Kush valleys,
iu the latter ot which lies the military re
serve sehx-ted by Col. Hteptoe, and ende.iv
ored to tra<v the lim-s upon the ground
from Held notes which arc in the surveyor 1
general's office. An accurate plat of the
reserve, as it has been measured off. will In
found accompanying a communication, whfch
I shall address to the Secretary of War up
on this subject.
On the morning of the 24 th inst. infor
mation was communicated to me that u
number of persons who were desirous of
leaving the Territory were unable to do so,
and considered themselves to be unlawfully
restrained of their lils-rty. However, de
-irons of conciliating popular opinion, I felt
it incumbent upon me to adopt the most en
ergetic measure- to ascertain the truth or
falsehood of this statement, i'ostponinjr,
therefore, a journey of importance, which I
hu<l contemplated, to one of the settlements
of Utah county, I caused public notice to
Is' given immediately of my readiness to re
lieve all persons who were, or deemed them
-elves to bo aggrieved and on the ensuing
day, which was Sunday, requested the fol
lowing notice to h* read, in u y pras-nof. te»

rionti submission on their part to the dictates
of the law. I was not interrupted. In a
discourse of about thirty minutes' duration,
1 touched (as 1 thought beat) boldly upon
all the lending questions at issue between
them and the general government. 1 re
membered that I had to deal with men em
bittered by the remembrance and recital of
many real and seme imaginary wrongs,
but did not think it wls- to williold trorn
them the entire truth. They listened respect
fully to all Uiat 1 had to say—approving
even, 1 fancied—when 1 explained to them
what I intended should be the character
of my administration. In fact the whole
manner of the people was calm, lietokeuing
no consciousness of liaviug done wroag. but
rather, us it were, iiidieated a conviction
that they had done their daty to their relig
ion and to their country. 1 have observed
that the Mormons proh-ss to view the Cou
stitutiou as the work ol inspired men, and
respeud w ith readiness to ap|ioaLi for its sup
port.
Thus the meeting might have ended. But.
afte r closing my remarks. I rose and stated
that I would be glad to hear from any who
might tie inclined to addtxws me upon topics
of interest to the community. 'Hits invita
ti-in brought forth, iu succession, several
jHJwerful speakers who evidently exercised
great influence over t lie masses oft he people, t
They harangued on the subject of the as- ’
HOssmation of Joseph Smith, junior, amt las
triends . the services rendered by the Mor- ,
mon buttalion to an ungrateful country; j
their suffering* on “ the plains " during their j
dreary pilgrimage to their mountain home, ,
Ac. The congregation became very much
excited, und joined the speakers iu their in- !
tempftute remarks, exhibiting more frenzy
than 1 had expected to witness among a
jieoplc who habitually exercise great self-eon- j
trol. A sja-aker now represented the luh-r
--ul government as desirous of needlessly in
troducing the national troo|is into the Terri- ,
tory, " whether a necessity existed lor their
cmploymi lit to support the authority of the i
civil officers or not und the wildest uproat
ensued. 1 was fully confirmed in the opinion
that this people, with their extraordinary
religion and customs, would gladly encoun
ter certain death, rather than Is- taxed with
a submission to the military j lower, which
they consider to iuvolveu loss of honor.
In my first address I informed tlicm tlmt
they were entitled to a trial by their |*vrs ;
that I had no intention ol stationing the
urmy iu immediate eon tact with their set.
tlciuunts, and that the military posse would
not be resorted to until other means of ar
rest hiul been tried anti failed. 1 found (he
greatest difficulty in explaining these points,
so great was the excitement. Kventually
however, the efforts of Brigimm Young were
successful iu calming the tumult and rcstor
ing ordet t-efore tie adjournment of the
meeting, it is projier that I should add
