Show 0 owing ing to 0 the late arrival of the last eastra nail mail and severe indisposition we did not coi issue our paper on the regular publication day As we have several times heretofore been

lot of c characters arac that look lie egyptian hieroglyphics hier p acs ics and is baptized by the name of the D despret eschet al chabet idea to getup get up a peculiar i 10 alary is is about as ridiculous as mormonism itself but it is is a significant sip sign or emblem of the utah theocracy aiho ho reign supreme while the great masses of the people are oppressed by taxation mormonism even with all the mysteries of its disgusting endowments cannot be concealed by the invention of cf new characters to represent their conduct and if they would be wise wise it ley ey would educate the c hildren children in the rudiments of the english language for they are sadly deficient in it before introducing a bobtail system s stem it comes to heralded and authenticated by the supervision of the chancellor and regents of the university ver sity 71 an institution that en exists ests only on paper and is IB as aa hollow hallow and as aa great a sham as the church itself education is much needed here and we would do everything to advance adv ance it but what does their record prove e nen men and women growing up in in many in instances that we know are unable to read or write intelligence however is not cot wanted the bhole thing is 13 based upon a da different ferent system let the rising generation be educated in a language ge that embodies the literature of 0 the age and its lights they know would explode and expel mormonism we again repeat educate the children of utah not hot in in dutch or deseret dialect but in in one that will enable them to read and understand other matters beside bemid the precepts and dictates of the church but this would prove fatal in n the end ead to the hierarchy the last california mail arrived three days inside of schedule time and the trip

ultimately have to be changed entirely either through ug h provo prove kanyon ganv on or weber valley valey we present below an extract from a discourse delivered delner ed by jedediah al grant delivered march 1854 1954 and published ui in the deseret news of july 27 th 1854 if it doss does rot not justify murder for the salvation of a mans soul then we e have a poor perception perc epton on of the for ce of the english lang aage it in the days of mabes for certain crimes they were to bring the guilt persons before the he congregation and each man and woman were required to bring a stone to throw at the person NN w orthy of death then there was aas another odd commandment the lord god comro commanded them not to 0 o pity the person whom u hom they killed but to execute the law of god upon persons worthy of death this should be done by the entire entile congregation showing no pity I 1 have bought there would have to be quite a revo ution lution among among the mormons cormons Mor mons before such a commandment could be obeyed completely by ay iy them the ile cormons mormons have a great deal ot of 8 apathy thy for instance if they can get a nian man before the be t tribunal administering tire the law aw of the land and succeed in getting a rope round his neck arid and having him hung up like a dead dow dog it is all right nit lint if the church and kingdom of god should step forth and execute the law of god of 0 m what h at a burst of mormon sv sympathy it nv would 0 uld cause wish ibish we were nere in in a situation favorable to our doing that which is justifiable before god without any an contaminating influences of gentile Sei itile amalgamation laws and traditions that the he people of god might lay the axe to the he root of the tree and every tree that bri annbeth ngeth not forth good fruit might be hewn down what do you believe that people would d do 0 right and keep the law of god by actually putting to death the transgressor putting to death transgressors would exhibit the law of god no difference by whom it was vas done that is my opinion you talk of the different governments the united states it if you please what do they do with traitors 9 what mode do they adopt to punish traitors 9 do traitors to that government forfeit their lives examine also the doings of other ege earthly governments eve r ants upon this point anavo and you find the ba same me practice universal I 1 ar au 1 I lat aware that there are any exceptions but people will vill look into b books 00 I 1 s 0 f tl theology leo logy and argue that the people peoli e of god have a right to try people for fellowship stellow ship but they have hav e no r right ight to try them on property or life that makes the devil laugh saying I 1 have got them on a hook book row nov they can cut them off of and I 1 will put eight or ten spirits i worse orse than they are into their tabernacles and send them back to mob them what a fine thing it was that I 1 got oliver cowdery to write that piece on law and introduce it into the book of doctrine trine and covenants but if the government of god on earth and eternal priesthood with the sanction of high heaven in in the midst of all this people has passed sentence on certain sins when they appear in in a person has not the people ot of god goa a right to carry out that part of his law as well as any other portion of ita it it t is their right to baptize a sinner to save bi him in is and it is is also their right to kill a sinner to save him when lie he commits those crimes that can only be atoned for by shedding his blood it the lord god forgives sin sin ayap by baptism and there is is another law that certain sins cannot be atoned for by baptism but by the shedding of the blood of the sinner query Is whether hether the people of god be overreaching the mark if they should execute the law to save such they used to do it anciently we would not kill a man inan of course unless we killed him to save him we woud not baptize a man unless we baptized him to save him we would not lay hands upon a man an that he mi lit receive the holy spirit only for the salvation sil salvation of the man and every act of men having the priesthood upon the earth should be for the salvation of the people do you think it would be any sin to kill me if I 1 were to break my covenants let ev ery cry man preach for himself I 1 am preaching an g my own faith today to day do you believe y you ou would kill me if I 1 broke the covenants of god and you had the spirit of god yes and the more spirit of god I 1 had the more I 1 should strive to save your soul by spilling your blood when you had committed sin bin that could not be remitted by baptism CAMP FLOYD FLOY I 1 V U ti T feb 13 1859 MB AIR EDITOR the best beat news of this week is that the paymaster has left for california and I 1 hope as aldoes does every one else that the purpose cf this trip is is to obtain the means to payoff pay off 1 he left on the alth taking with him a de l 1 tach ment from the different corps the ee ce 1 tach ment commanded commended com minded by marmaduke 1 th infantry they major may rest assured thethis that his return will be very welcome to us I 1 all I 1 several of the officers have applied for I 1 furloughs furroughs A and will I 1 suppose leave for the states very soon now provided they get them the passage of the retired hat for the army 13 I 1 S about the only news new brush brought by aby the nail mail for this week I 1 had not the ee pleasure leasure of see seeing irig tho th till hll yet but I 1 have no doubt but that awill it will be one of the best things that could be done for the army as from what I 1 have beard of the bill it will get the array army rid of those officers who are no longer fit for th the e field and also gives younger officers a chance to raise to something before lie he Is too be of any we As it Is an officer is I 1 may say gay an old man before hebec he becomes omesa a captain of course there are a few exceptions but most of these were caused by the thea raising raising of the four new regiments the commanding officer has been notified that the indians have been committing a good many depredations in in the vicinity of fillmore rill more city ile he intends sending out a company of dragoons about the first of march as it is is impossible in to do so BO before on account of the bad condition of the horses arid ard infantry would be of little use after indians indiana at such a distance although 1 I and ill 11 companies jtb ath infantry und under er comm command a nd of major G R paul did some pretty responsible marching last fall and succeeded in capturing the offe offenders aders too and can do it again if required on wednesday night the 11 dramatic
