PmwiMM you Ukt down the remarks I male oa
Sunday?

Paorwnr?When 1 spoke I did aol know aay reporters
were (a the audience, though I learned It before the service
was over. Have you writtea oat yoar report f
COKKXrOSDCKT? 1 hlTS.
rnonmr?DM you write the words Just as I spoke
ihtmf
Oouwposobkt? I did.
The Prophet paused, tbea said:-Did you sty that I said I
1 had bo shirtootlar dignity to bus lain, while Buchanan
had f
Oobwbfokos.vt? I gave your exact words.
Brigham looked perplexed, but seeing that some
of his people sad I were regarding him attentively,
sdded, that so far as he was concerned, he was
perfectly willing It shoaid be printed. He also questioned
me about writing his inngusge in ragmd to the President's
age and sense, receiving In each care an affirmative
answer. Between ten end eleven o'clock lest night I was
called upon by three Mormon dignitaries, with the report
above referred to end the following novel and surprising
note from Brtgbam Young Rend
Great Bait Laeb Cm, July S, 1858
Mr In compUsnoe with your request, end nt the
earliest opportunity, 1 take planet i in herewith transmit
ting to you tbo report of rmmrks made by me In Provo,
June 27. Mr. J. B. M liner fans bad but little prac
nee la reportfeg; bssoe there are eereral omission*
and since pret ef business precludes my attempting to
supply them from memory, I trust what the reporter ha*
enabled me now ts furnish will prove satisfactory. Very
respectfully, BRIGHAM YOUNG.
Prophet Brig ham, when were you requested to furnish
me with n copy of your remarks? Wss it at our later tew
when 1 told you, in answer to your question, that I
had written out your sermon la full, seven persona being
praoM ana neanng me any tor uave not had any older
cosnmumsaUow with yon, Mr. Prophet Socli a way of
presenting the report of a sermon baa a very dubious po
Uteoeee Shall I thank yon for it? Yea, for it contalaa
yonr own hand alfnature, which ia worth beiag retained
aa a divine memento ef a lire prophet
The report, aa a whole, it a pretty pood oae. It bow
ever, pata batter language tu Brigham'a mouth than that
which be held, it la made smoother; all the oUenalve language
about the President is omitted. Ibe abrupt, rough
style la which the Prophet discourses ia greatly infilled.
I scad you Brigham'a report, to do what you will w.ib it.
[We prefer giving our own correspondent's report ol'tho
Prophet's remarks, as above?Ei>. Humid j
Owe or the brethren woo has always treated me with
great kinases*, and done that for a Gentile which few or
no G< ntiles would ever ha re dooo for a Mormon, has fre
queutly sprken to me about some otsnndoratindisg in
regard to the time of the movement of the army. I told
him the Hkiuu> would publish their side of the story if
they would give it late last night he handed me the
following letter upon the subject. Since I have not time
to copy it before the departure of the mail I send you the
original, hoping my saittiy friend will not consider it a
breach c( confidence ?
Gkjui Salt I.ahi Cm , U. T , July 2, 1848.
Sis?For the oorrertntss of the tellowing statement of
facts I hold myself individually responsible. Through
the exertions Of Colonel T.io*. L. Kane, Governor A. Cum
King and Governor Br*bam Young, peace was fully
eeftabltabed In tha Territory, aud submission to tbe autbo
rity cf lbs cfiicers of the federal government rendered, s >
far as those offloers had presented themselves, on the
121h of May last Tbe despatches of Governor Camming
to Secretary Ckss, of that date, are cflicisl evidence of this
fact. About tbe 24th of May a letter was received by one
of our rttlzeca from Governor Camming stating that Gso 1
Johnston bad promised n.m net to advance with his army
from Camp Scott before the 20th of June. Commissioners *
Powell and tseCullocb arrived in this city on the 7th of
June I was selected as ooe of a delegation to wait upon *
Us Commissioners an i make arrargemsnta for a confe 1
recce. Inquiries were male by the delegatioa concerntng
the movement of the army. Governor Powell replied 1
by saying that there was aa understanding between Gen. 1
Johnston and tbe Cmmiaaicsers that tbers should be no

?H bold on the 11th and l'Jth of June Information being
received at tbe opening of tbe conference that General '
.lobnatoo bad ordered an advance towards the city Tor
lttbofjnne, the question was anted the Commi?tiooers
tf such were the cane. Governor Powell replied that It
could not possibly be true repealing tbe atalement pre
vlously made to tbe delegation, and that it wonld be worth
General Johneton'a commission to mace a movement of
the kind without oooauttation or having an opport mlty of
tearing from the Commissioners. The army marched on
tbe lltb. and on the 14th of June despatches were dated
from Bear river aa headquarters of the army. The coafl
dence restored prer oui to lha arrival of the GommUaioe
nr* wan Ihua Interrupted, and a delay of more than two
wtaka caused in tbe return of the families to Great Salt
Lake City. I do not hi itlate to aay that amicable rela
Uons bet wees the people of I* lab and tbe parent govern
meat, if not Interrupted, were at leant by no means pro
moled by the preeeeoe of the Com miaa .oners in tbe fern
lory, their own statements and failure to acoount for toe
strange Inroniistencles la the moveseents of the army
having entirely nullified the virtue of any pledges they
might make to the people Of course I do not make any
reference to the proclamation of Prtsilent Bu:oanaa,
brought to the Territory by tbe Commissioners. That
curries with It lis own endsncs and stands alujf upon lis
own merits. I remain, very respeotfui'y, tw. ,

Tbe Oommisstoaers doclsrs they never mnle su:h a
promise?that the statement iseotireir false?indeed, thai
they had no power to de.ay or hinder the onward march
o( the army.
I wan present and heard Commissioner Powell's last wor li
to Gen Johnston cn departing for Salt I eke Oily. It is Is
gltunata cow to make them public Toey wero thane ?
"Do aot delay the advance of your army one hour on our

Tbe Mormons also complain of the army eating up
their grass on tbe other side of Jordan, and proapes.ively

In the report of the detail* of the last expedition of the
lbiegre{h iqoadroayeu were informed that the attempt to
l?y the cable had fkiled aad that the Niagara and her esc
rt, the Gorgon, hid*both returned^to Queeaatown. Aooording
to the term* of the written agreement the whole
fleet were to retora after the twe oable ehlpe should have
gone over one hundred mile* towards their separate destinations,
and It was In oompUanoe with this explicit understanding
that the Niagara prooeeded to the point Indicated
therein. We arrived here on the ftth July, expeoting to And
the Agamemnon had got la before us. We were considerably
disappointed, however, whan we leeraed there
were as yet no tidings of her, although she had ever two
hundred miles the start of us on her oouree. The suppo
sltion that (be bad not gone om hundred miles ?w greatly
strengthened by bar bob nppenmnee, and we were
forced to the conclusion, after two or three days, that aba
bad really returned to the rendezvous and was there
awaiting us. Day after day panned, and yet there waa no
Agamamnoa, bo Valorooa. Terrible stories were circola
ted about the missing ships?it was said that we bad
abandoned them and that the Agamemnon had gone
down. The London Timet, with the most indecent haste,
accused us of circulating reports throwing the discredit of
the failure ca the Agamemnon, and Intimated that they
must wa't her arrival before they received reliable intelligence.
At laat the Agaaiemnon aaade ber appearance,
hiving returned, as we supposed, to thi
rendezvous in mid-ocean. The reliable lntAUigerce
had at length arrived, and it was ascertained
mat the cable had parted about twenty feet from ber
atom, and tbnt she bad gone a distance of one hundred
aid sixteen miles, or seven miles more than our ship. You
will be somewhat surprised at the course pursued by her
engineers In this instance when you know that the agreement
was made eMbely on account of her net having a
sufficient supply of coal. On leaving Plymouth she hid
but 460 foes, while the Niagara bad 860, sad although tne
reports in the limes about our " water logged" appearance,
the strong probability of our going to the bottom,
and tbe deplorable condition of our ship were well calcu
lated to arouse the lesrs of our people about our safety,
we came out of one of the worst guise that has
ever been seen in the North atlantlo, with no other dam
age to our noble ship than tbe loss of part ot her bow
sprit and one of the wings ef the eagle which form* ber
Ugnre head. Bow tbe Agamemnon tared you have bees
Informed before this.
1 bare said that the cable parted shout twenty
feet from the stern or the Agamemnon, but how?
whether by accident, weakness ot the cable, or want
ot proper vigiltnce on the pert of those having ohirge of
tba work?it is impoarible to Bay, aa no satisfactory expla
nation, so far ta I bare heard, has been given. The
rngineers are unable to say what was toe cause of tbe
fracture, as the strain upon the cable ci<|not ex seal
twenty two hundred pounds at tbe time; but it la to bs
hoped tbatttr. Bright, who has gone to London to a Mead
a meeting of tbe director#, will be ab'e to throw some
light upon the matter, there is one consolation to be
had. however, from the fact tost the continuity waa ds
kticyed by the known fracture of tbe cable. uJ that le
to be found in tbe stronger prospect of suooess tbau there
cjtilit poeslaly be If the interruption of the eleotricel canmucicaticn
were produced by dome unexpla'nad ctuee
like thai which attended the second accident to the cable
during tbe expedi Jon.
Mr. Field bai gone to London, where atneet'ng or the
director* was to be beld last night, though with
what reautt we bare not yet learned. There
is no doubt that we will eatl on 8aturdar,
the l"lh iuatant. We hare our coal on board,
end tbe Agamotnnon. 1; la said, will be ready to tail Pamorrow.
We may succeed this time, and I bare still a
atroiig hope that we will. It moat be eonfeteed, bo sever,
ibat tbe chances are againet us, but whether we succeed
i r fail, ILe eventual a< omplisbment or the .-real work is
cone the leea a matter of certainty. Wo caii just imagine
bow tbe newa of our success would be receive I through
out tbe l/nion, end what a welcome would greet the Nla
gara, ber olticera and crew, oo tbelr arrival is Sew York
But tucceeeful or not, of one thing you may rest assured?
that notblrg will be wanting on our part towards securing
the accrmpuabmect cf tbe nnderiakiog.
There is etill sufficient cable left (about 2,600 miles) to
allow a surplus of thirty per cent, cr ten per cent more '
than tbe expenditure which bee etteoded tbe operation of
laying the cable thus 'ar. Thla la, accord log to all ac |
counts, tbe beet mouth, b< teg lets subject to galea than
any other during the summer seaaoo; and tbe only thing
to be 'eared now Is ibat ibe oxydl/sUot or tbe cable in
tome places may bavo so tar weakened it .is to render it |
unable to bear tbe strain to which It may at time* be I
mbjrrt. With tbla fart in view, tbere It no coubt tbst the

a* ay and the men were grimed with coal dust,
and many bore still more serious marks upon their facet
of how they had been knocked about below. There was
aome cod fusion at first, for tbs storm waa fearful; the officers
were quite inaudible, and a wild dangerooa aea, running
mountains high, healed the great ship backwards aad
orwards, so that tha crew were unable to keep their feet,
tveo for an instant, and In some cases were thrown
tcroaa the decks la a dreadfat manner; two marlnoa went
with n ruah head roramoat Into tha paying out machine,
ae it they meant to hntt it over the aide; yet, strange to
toy, neuter the mea nor machine suffered. What made
matters worse, the ship's barge, though lashed down to
he deck, bad partly broken loose, and dropping from aide
to side as the venae! lurched, It threatened to crush any
who ventured to pass It. The regular discipline of the
ibip, however, soon prevailed, and the crew set to work
to wear round the abip on the starboard tack, while Lieueaaata
Bobinaoo aad Murray went below to see after
'hose arbo bad beea hurt, and about the number of waom
extravagant rumors prevailed among the men.

There were, however, unfortunately but too many.
The mat ice sentry outside the wardroom door on the
main ceck bad net had time to oaoape, and was complete
ly burled under the coals Some time elapsed before he
could be got oat, for one of the teams used to snore up the
sects, which had crushed his arm vary badly, still lay
across tbe mangled limb, jamming it in ancb a manner
that it was found impossible to mora it without risking the
man's life. Saws, therefore, had to be sent for, ani the
timber sawn awsy before the poor fellow could be extrl
caied. Another max ire on the lower decc endeavored to
save himself by catching hold of what seemed a ledge In
the planks, but, unfortunately, it waa only caused by the
beams ttratnir? anart. and. of course, as the Axamemoon
righted they closed again, ud crashed hie flcgera flu.
One of the assistant engineer*, (Mr. Harvey,) tu also

the ahip waa ealcalated at 46 decrees each way for
Are times in rapid succession. Toe galley cuppers
were only ha'f Ailed with soup, yet, nevertheless, it
neatly all poured cut, and scalded some of the pxjr fellows
who were extended on the decks, holding on to
anything hi teach, these, with a dislocation, were the
chief casualties: but there were others of bruises and
coot us loos, more or leas severe, end of course a long list
of escapes more marvellous than any injury. One poor
fellow went head drat from the ma'.n deck into the bold
without being hurt, and one on the orlop deck wis
"chevied" about for seme ten minutes by three large
casks of ell which bad got adrift, aad anyone of whicn
would have flattened him like a pancake had it overtaken
him.

ana so, by twelve e'clock, she was roiling elmoa ei bed

four in the morning, were set to clear up the decks from
the masses of ooal that covered them, and while Urn was
going forward a heavy see struck the stem, and smashed
the large Iron guard frame, which bad been deed there
to prevent the cable fouling the screw In paying out.
Tbie guard, which, from its peculiar hooped shape, suspended

burden with each wire that oame up afterward*, tUl the
pcor Agamemnon went under them all forever.
A little after ten o'clock on Monday, the'list, the aapeot
of aflakra waa ao alarming that dept. Preedy resolved at
all riaka to try wearing the ahhtp round on the other tarn.
It waa hard enough to make the worda of oommand audible,
but to execute them aeemod almoat impoaaible. The
hip's head went round enough to leave her breedaide on
to the none, and then for n time it seemed on if settling
could be done. A'l the rolla which ahe had over given
on the previous day seemed mere trifles compered with
her performance then. Of more than 300 men on deak
at leant 1M won thrown down and falling over Troon aide
to aide in beape; while cthere, holding on to ropoa, swung
to and fro with every heave. It really aeemod as If the
lent how of the atout ship had oome, and to thin minute
it seems almost miraculous that her maata held on. Kaoh
time ahe ftU over her main chains went deep under water. ,
The lower decks won flooded, and those above oould hear /
by the feariul crashing, audible amid tha hoarse roar af
the storm, that the coals hal got loose again be'ow, and
had broken into the engine room, and were carrying all
before them. Daring tbeee rolls the main deok coil shift
ed over to auoh a degree as to quite envelope four men,
who, sitting on the top, were trying to wedga it down
with beams. One of them was ao much jammed by the"
mass which oame over him tbat be was seriously contused,
and had to be removed to the sick bay, making up
the tick list to forty-lire, oT which ten were from injuries
cauaad by the rolling of the ship, and very masy of the
rest from continual tatigus and expos ore during the gale.
Odos round on tbsstarboard tack, and it was seen in an
instant that tha ship was in no degree relieved by the
change. Another hoary tea struck her forward, aweop
ing clean over the fore part of the veasel, and carry log
nnny the wood woik and platforms which had bom
placed there round the machinery for aader running
This and a few mora plunges were quite sufficient to settle
the matter, aad at laat reluctantly.
