After supper, the company bow down together on the green sward, in tho calm and mellow moonlight, peace in their hearts and on all around them, Elder John Taylor returns thanks to He-Father of all for present blessings and asks for future providence, and in a short time the whole camp is in the arms of.

i' i I Jcnk 10th, 1870. Oxford 'was asti- early this morning. Nrt a ity of famed colleges, tull spites and disreputwble fledgeling parsons, but the peaceful little town ut the head of Hound valley. Before the heralds of the coming day the first rays of "glorious Apollo" had crimsoned the fleecy clouds and bathed the western hill-tops with golden glory, teamsters were busy with neighing steeds, and provident housewives were preparing for the travelers' necessities. Man, made in the Image of Deity, whose soul reaches out after eternal things, with a longing which is never fully satisfied, who weighs the planets, girdles the globe with bauds of turned lightning and digs Out the secrets of nature with the iade of science, is a noble and mighty being, but with all his heaven-born attributes and powers, bo Is a poor thing without bis bread md dinuer.

Our jouvnej being through an uninhabited part of the country, we bad to luy in a stock of provisions for tho day. And this was am If those who teach the people correct principles do not make their own acts t-arrespond with their teachings they fail in the attainment of the object before us. If our thoughts are correct and pure it will be an easy matter to make our acts correct If we say or do nothing that should not be said or done we can say to our wives and children "follow me." Men differ in judgment and if we do no evil but are united on the main points our minor differences will be overlooked and a variety in many things is right and pleasing. It is the duty of all to correct themselves and not need correction from others. President Wells spoke upon the number of places, inhabited by, the Saints, that were onco considered uatillable and worthless but now by the blessing of God were fruitful and valuable, upon the divinity of the calling of Joseph Smith and Brigham Y'oung and the impossi-bilty.

of being saved in tho kingdom of heaven except by implicitly obeying it laws i Elder W. Woodruff made some remarki upon the limited knowledge we have of the futuro and the impossibility of understanding futurity without the spirit of God, upon the example which should be set before the rising generation who will grow up and bear off the kingdom, and upon the spirit which always entered those who apostatize after having received their endowments, urging them to the shedding of innocent blood. This morning, at eight o'clock, we retraced our journey as far as Bennington, then turned sharply to the west and arriving at Bear river were ferried over to the opposite After all had crossed in safety, we turned southward, ami passing through Ovid, a small settlement, principally inhabited by Scandinavians, we arrived at noon at Paris. The weather, which had been clouding up all the morning, when we were about half way to Paris, turned very cold and the rain came down in good earnest It cleared up as we arrived and gave the folks an opportunity to turn out and give the visitors welcome. A handsome arch of evergreens was erected at the entrance of town, and the school children with their teachers, the Brass Band and a large company of citizens lined each side of the road and saluted the President and his traveling friends.

The weather continuing very unfavorable, President oung considered it unwise for the people to sit in the bowery, exposed to draughts and damp, so, after addressing them for a short time upon the necessity of building a meetinghouse, and counseling them to erect a balloon-frame building, 50ft by 110ft, with a gallery, and to improve their houses, their lives, spirit and acts, the people, who had gathered from several settlements, separated, to meet again, in Paris on Sunday next a An opportunity offers to forward this, so I will defer any further description of the place or the people till another time. The company are all well, enjoying the trip, feel full of life and spirits, and realize that they are highly privileged in being permitted to travel through these lovely vales, visit the people and listen to words of wisdom more precious thau the gems of earth or ocean.

In tho evening tho party returned from the Blackfoot, were rather reserved On the subject of fish, and did not deem enthusiastic about trout, from hich iersons of a penetrating mind, who think they can see into a millstone as far as most folks, jumped to the conclusion that trout didn't bite much in the Blackfoot river. T.

E. Kicks and Syi. Collet returned from Bear River quito communicative and with cheerful countenances they had caught twenty-five pounds of fine trout; even the individuals frequontly referred to "with half an can see the connection. Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity, drink soda water and eat fried trout! To-day, Sunday, the blessed day of rest, was spent mostly in csmp. All hands '-fixed'' themselves as best they could, and the company presented a respectable Sunday-go-to-nieetlng appearance.

At 10 o'clock, the sound of the bugle culled the folks together, who assembled around tho front of "tho honse," some seated In carriages and others on seats extemporized out of anything handy. After singing, and prayer by Elder B. Yonng President Young addressed tho meeting on the necessity for tho brethren to receive ordination in view of the great work required of them for the redemption of the race, on the propriety of seeking to elevate the Lamanites instead of descending to thoir level and tho impropriety of trading horses, running races with them, Exhorted the brethren to be gentlemen; that is, never to speak an improper word, never to do an improper act; said fine clothes of themselves did not indicate gontility, truo refinement was in the man not on the man. Severely reprehended all kinds of gambling and dishonest trading which he called and thanked tho brethren from Bear Lake for their kindness and courtesy' in coming to meet the company and assisting to promote their comfort. President Wells showed faith in God, purity of life, and honorable actions would, in their very nature, elevate' mankind, and that it was as reasonable for men to expect tho sun to shine according to their wishes and notions, as to expect the Lord to swervo from his laws and designs to suit men's whims.

Spoke against profanity and exhorted all to faithfulness. Elder John Taylor said, while many people in the world were sincere in their religious opinions, their chief thoughts and desires were after the things of the world, while the Saints, although they valued earthly comforts, made the Kingdom of Gsd the chief thing in their affections, and acted with reference not ouly to time, but to eternity. We were indebted to "Mormonisra" for all our knowledge of eternity and all the glorious hopes based upon it. Elder F. D.

Richards closed with prayer and the meeting separated, and the company spent the after part of the day, which was exceedingly warm, in sitting in (ho shade chatting on various Interesting subjects, or making quiet visits to the different Bprings aud curiosities of this singular spot. Among other strange sights which some discovered were, a floating meadow, dotted with wild flowers, in a small lake near the mound already described, and a cave with formations of a similar character to those on the mound, but hanging from the roof in various forms like stalactite. One of the most pleasant additions to our enjoyment in camp has been the excellent musio from the Beur Lake Brass Band under Capt. Joshua Eardley. Considering that all but two of tho eighteen musicians only commenced to play last full, their progress is astonishing and their execution really to be praised and admired.

Many much older bands are far behind them in correct time and truo harmeny. The sun wenldownthisbalmy summers evening over as united and happy a company of friends and brethren as ever camped together. Not an unkind word hat been spoken to man or beast; courtesy, kindness and mutual accommodation have marked our intercourse, and Presidents Rich and Kimble with Capt. E. A.

Austin from Bear Lake Valley have provided for our Wants, and sought our comfort and convenience in the true spirit of generosity and hospitality. Paris, Rich Utah. June 14th 1870. On Monday morning about 8 o'clock with' much regret we bid farewell to Soda Springs. We had not half explored the country and many interesting scenes had no doubt escaped our observation.

We traveled a little east of south over hills and dales for miles then crossed a low divide and entered Rich County. A few miles farther south over a similar road brought us to BKKXINQTON, a small settlement on-the cast side of the valley where ten families are located They had selected a town site in a very pleasant spot, at the foot of a green slope near the mountains, and awaited the coming of President Young that they might have the benefit of his judgment before moving on to it. President's Y'oung and Wells with a few others staid there (and as wo afterwards learned approved of tho site selected) and the rest of the company pushed on four miles further to MOXTPEMIR. This is one of the most beautiful locations in the mountains. It is situated at the foot of a line of green hills overlooking the principle part of the valley.

Is near to wood, has plenty of water and abundant range for stock. The soil is good and the houses, fences and stables built of logs and poles straight as a yardstick, are neat, clean and substantial. It is five years of age and is under the watchcare of Elder John Cozzens who has the confidence aud good will of the people. At 4 p.m. President Young and the party who stopped at Bennington having arrived, meeting was held in the school-house which was full to overflowing although a smart rainstorm set in just before meeting time.

A small choir sang several hymns in a creditable manner. President Y'oung addressed the meeting; said our lesson is to learn to guide our own actions in faith, honesty and love to God and our brethren with an eye single to tho building up of the kingdom. FRANKLLH I. KldTAR-DS, Editow. C.

Soda Srursds, Oseida Idauo, June 12th, 1870. This extensive settlement contains eight families, and is blest with three stores. How they can manage to exist in this solitude is one of those puzzles which a certain class of philosophers dispose of by saying "it's a mystery." A few passing pilgrims and occasional bands of Indians do a little trading here, and on this transient business the aforesaid eight famines with their three stores manage to worry along, though latterly they have been materially benefited by the timber trade. Several vacant cabins near the dilapidated building yclept "Clemguiird Hotel," built on the worst spot in tho valley for a settlement, indicate the place where a band of miserable apostates were brought by tho famous(?) Irih "Ginir-al," who gained his rank by tho rank massacre of 250 Indians, most of them old men, squaws and papooses, in which' gallant exploit he managed to sacrifice about 100 of his men either killed or disabled by recklessly exposing them to tho fire of tho enemy, nnd forcing them to wade Bear River in the depth of winter, to the loss of their limbs by frost. It is a melancholy looking spot.

Where the poor wretches have gono who built the barracks for "Pat," even 4 the ruins of which have almost disappeared, who can tell? A number of gravss near by Bhow that some have deptyted to their own place, but as for the rest, no ono cares to trouble about their whereabouts. Our camp, numbering about ono hundred and thirty persons," with vehicles and animals make the valley Jook lively. A few Bannack Indians fine looking fellows, gay, and gaudy with paint and beads give variety to the scene, but when we are all gone, the plaee will look desolate. Oh that I were a savage I don't mean a Bannack, a Sioux, a Ute, or any other ofthe'Lo'tribe oranOttinger, then would I describe the curiosities of this locality with a few Biinflsishcs and chemicals far more perfectly and Ijiiich more easily than I can do with pen and ink. (t am writing this with a pencil, but I thought the other would sound more respectable.) Springs to tho right of US', springs to the left of us, springs right oh ead of us fix up and bubble.

Yesterday morning part of the company went off to the Blaekfoot, twelve miles distj-nt, to fish for trout; a few others went to Bear River on the same fishy business, and President Young, with most of the visitors started out in carriages to sew and tate the springs. In the, north-east corner of the valley is a singular looking spot. A largo mound rises up from tho valley, appearing os if formed of volcanic lava, which had cooled into ledges of porous stone. As our vehicles rumbled along it emitted a hollow sound, as though wc were passing over a bridge. On reaching the top we found springs trickling around and forming small pools; and on closer inspection we discovered that the whole mound with its ledges, soft rocks nd curious holes and crevices, was formed by the congelation of the mineral waters from the springs.

Coral-like formations in fantastic shapes, lay around in masses and fragments," produced by deposits- of the water around-grass and twigs. We secured specimens of both, the complete and partial formations, and struck across to the north end of ha where we came to hat is considered the finest of all the soda springs. Clear, cold and effervescing, rushing 'up from below and spurting out from the sides of a pool about three feet in diameter, it poured rapidly through au outlet into the creek; springs of different some clear and others oozy and filthy were bubbling all and dead grasshoppers lay in holes, stifled by gases emitted from the waters. After everyone had partaken of the waters, either "straight" or mixed with lomon syrup, we returned to camp for dinner. In tho afternoon we visited onothor spring of clear soda water, without the iron clement, (most of the springs contain iron, soda tnd and the celebrated Steamboat tpring, so called on account of a noise it make resembling the puffing of eteain into the water.

It is right on the edge of Bear Biver, elose to another foaming, spring which spurts up about a foot a Lot a the ground, its pungent flavor in striking contrast with the soft and flat taste of the river water which flows along only a few inches distant. On the way back to camp we tasted the water of another spring, in which tha iron "element predominated, and crossed another mound formed by lime deposit trora evaporating mineral va- ter. In addition to these soda springs, tnere are oi tiers or clear ana pure cold water which is delicious in this hot weather. This is a good country for timber. Mr.

A. Majors has an interest here, Snd has floated down Bear River an immenso quantity of logs. A greut number of the tis for the C. T. R.

as well as the Utah Central," were furnished by Mr. Majors from the timber of these mountains. Mr. Weitxel, the father-in-luvrofMr. Majors, keeps, store here; he has been very courteous to President Y'oung, and kindly presented him with a couple of sheep for the camp.

The south-western portion of the valley appears to be an excellent spot for a settlement, and in the hands of tho Mormons this would no doubt be. very soon, a flourishing, prosperous aud beautiful place. ply supplied by the generous people of Oxford. At six o'clock we started, crossed the northern rim of the Great Basin and went down into Marsh valley. At the head of this valley is Red Rock Ilanclic, which takes its name from a huge pile of red rocks, close by, which look like the ruins of an immense feudal castle, its towers, walls aud battlements crum bling to decay, and weird-looking rocks stand up in groups, appearing like sol diers who, while watching for tho enemy, had becomo petrified as they stood.

Tli.3 streams which on the other siJo of tho "rim" seemed to be in a dreadful hurry to find their way, ''cither through Beur river or directly, into Salt Lake, on this aide appear to be just as- auxious to get to tho Pacific; heading out to wards the Portneuf, fcMiake river ana on to the (treat ocean. i We traveled along t'uo eastern bank of Marsh creek till we struck tho stage rond to Montana, but just as we came in sight of the station, we turned off ab ruptly to tho east and climbed a very stoop and toilsome which tired both men and animals. Down on the other side, through kan-yona and ravines, we traveled on till one o'clock, when we camped in a beautiful little hollow on the banks of th Little Portneuf, or, as some call it, Dcmpscy creek, a clear, cold stream, hich tasted delicious after our warm and lengthy journey. A good dinner and a good rest revived both man and beast, aud in a couple of hours, we crossed the Little Portneuf aud worked our passage up a pleasant kanyon, with a small stream trickling down its sides to the creek be low; up, up among the mountains, over steep mounds and ridges, the choke-cherry and service-berry thickly bloom ing all arouud aud scenting the air with their sweet until wo rench closo up to tho regions of snow, great patches and banks lying a short distance to the left, up among tho everlasting mountains, with the fir-crowned kings of the hills proudly rearing their heads around Here, amidst these grandest monuments of nature, the soul is animated with great thoughts, the heart beats high with ambition and swells with big emotions; the mind mounts upward as on eagle's wings, mid a fallow' 'mouth gets awfully dry for a drink. Onward we go, over a rough and rolling joad, until a rapid descent brings us iulo valley about twenty miles in length and ton miles in breadth, across which we travel ut a rapid rate, and gazo with wonder and admiration at the strange scenes around us.

The ground is seamed and cracked, deep rocky fissures yawn on the right and the left, huge rock walls run along for miles at tho base of the mountain, and here and there la an extinct crater, and the whole country shows that at some distant date this region was one seething, boiling mass of volcanic matter. Indeed, from the appearance of th rocks -ami peaks, the lava-looking masses heaped up, the chasms, fissures and crevices, it is very probable that tho entire valley is a vast hollow, tlio remains of an immense burnt out crater. Passing out of this valley 'through, beart- tiful natural gates, we come in sight of SODA spitrsas, a few scattered log-houses, with one large adobie two-storey building, located in a nearly circular valley; an abundunco of timber growing on tho side hills right down to their baso, Bear river flowing a wide and placid stream, adorning the little vale like a broad, blue sash across tho bosom" of -Yonder, the stars and stripes are waving gallantly in the cool aud gentle breoie, and as we approach the gay old flag, a company of fifty mounted men and a brass baud, in a large orchestral carriage, welcome us with a salute nnd stirring strains of martial music. This is a company from Bear Lake valley, who have como with F.lders Charles C. Rich and David P.

Kimball, to meet the visitors and help to make them comfort-ablo. They have built a compact hewed log-house, by 18fU with shingle roof, and erected a ouplo of tents for our accommodation, as well a provided food for hungry travelers, who have come 6 miles over a pretty rough and romantic road. Here we gladly come to a Lull at G.uO and feed out" tired Before feeding ourselves, everybody wants to see some of tho far-famed Soda Springs and taste the famous water. So we start off with cups and bottles, about a quarter of a mile from camp, to the banks of Sod creek, a sparkling little stream, whieh runs into Bear river. Close to the water's edgo, a clear, cold spring boils and bubbles up to the surface of the ground and rnus over into the creek.

It has a sharp saline taste, with a little dash of iron, is said to be Very healthv, with tho addition of a little acid, it effervesces equal to the best soda water ever retailed at in American oda fountain, Near by a oouple of holes in the ground, in which cold water, with a strong iron flavor, is boiling away at a furious rate, but without overflowing, or rising above a certain level, though no outlet for tho water can be puceived. Other curiosities invite our observation, hut we postpone them for a future ooca-siou, as it is the Fmidcnt'a intention to OGBMTHMTRE TO-NIGHT, Saturday, June 18, 1S70.
