The army of Utah, under command of
Brevet Brigadier-General Johnston, en
tered this valley on'Saturday, the 20th
lilt., an hour or two after my letter of that
date was mailed to you. It was about
*$! o'clock in the morning when the right
of the advance column emerged from the
eteft of the Wasatch Mountains, known
AS Emigration Canon, and began to
spread its long line over the tortuous
#Oftd down the bench", towards the
city. The day was perfectly clear, and
tHe whole line of march could be dis
tinctly seen, as the troops trailed over
ttie gentle slope from the mountain foot
the river bottom, presenting the finest
possible view which eouhl be had of an
army in motion. Gen. Johnson had is
sued an order on the evening preceding
his entrance to the city, commanding the
gftforcemenl of the strictest discipline
while passing through the city, and or
dering the instant arrest of every man
wlio should leave the column upon any
pie tense whatever. The object of this
order was achieved, and the army pre
a«|iU)d an example of th? most perfect
decorum, neither by word or deed mani
festing the le»st symptoms of the ill-will
which it is well known was felt amonr
tie troops towards the people who had
k«pt them freezing ou Green river during
ii long and comfortless winter.
The line of the army, as it trailed into
the city, was at least ten miles long, and
ptien the head of the column had ad
vanced to the head of the camping ground
*N?st of the Jordan river flowing through

My first view of Brigham was obtained
at public servico on Sabbath morning.
Service was held in a Bowery," as it
is called, on a public square in the cen
tre of Provo City. This Bowery is con
structed simply of posts driven in the
ground, supporting a frame work some
fifteen feet overhead, upon which are laid
willow brush cut out on the neighboring
creeks. The bowej- thus constructed was
capable of seating perhaps two thousand
persons. At one end is erected a rude
platform or staging for the Presidency,
the preachers and etders. As the hour
of meeting approached, the streets were
thronged with people of all ages and
conditions flocking to the bower, each
with a chair of some'sort in liand, as few
benches bad been provided under the
shelter. The City Marshal superintend
ed the seating of the crowd, manifesting
quite as much energy in closing up all
as would the most indefatigable usher at
the Academy of Music on Lagrange's
benefit night—for room was "an object.'"
All around the edge of the bower, with
in hearing distance of toe stand, wagons
were drawn up, their occupants maintain
ing their seats in tho vehicles while await
ing the words ot inspiration from their
Prophet's lips.

claiming it to bo a religious duly to raise
