It out tie Herder of Gentiles. 31N L SHERMAN TO BRIG HAM YOUNG. Sr. Louis, April 10, 1866. To Brigham Young: . Sib: A telegram comes to me from responsible officers that . four men, styled "Gentiles,?' have been murdered ty Mormons,; and that there is apprehension of further danger from this class. By Gentiles I understand American citizens not of your religious belief. I am bound to give protection to all citizens, regardless of religious faith, and shall do so. These murderers must be punished, and if your people resort to measures of intimidation, those must cease. All of cur people must have-equal rights within the limits of ou rfatipnal domain. J. know little or nothingof the causes of local trouble in Utah, but it is well for you to know that our country is now full of tried and experienced soldiers, who would be pleased at a fair opportunity to avenge any wrongs you jnay commit against anybf our citizens, even in tliatref mote region. I will soon have regular troops in Utah, and on the road leading there, when I hope we shall receive reports on which to base accurate opinions: and I send you this message, not as a threat, but as a cau- J tiorrthat aensioie man snouia neea. W. T. Sherman, Maj. Gen'l Commanding Dep't. brigham young to gen. sherman. Great Salt Lake City, ) April 11, 1866. J Major General W. T. Sherman, St. Louis. Mo. : Sir Your telegram of yesterday is at hand, and contents duly considered ? The reports that have reached you are not reliable, satisfactory evidence of which I will telegraph you as soofo as' the testimony of -"reliable gentlemen, not Mormons, can be had, say within twenty-four hours. B. Young. Great Salt Lake City, ) ? ; April 12, 1866. j ? , Major General W. T. Sherman? : Sir I am under many obligations to you for your kindness in telegraphing me respecting reports which have reached you from this place, as it afford me opportunity of stating facte. As near as we can learn, there have been telegrams sent from here to the East which have not been reliable.' Your telegram irives us some idea of their purport. There have been no such assassinations as alluded to in yours diepatch. On March 27,. soldier shot a gentleman named Mayfield, and a Mr. Brassfield came home and seduced a Mormon s wiie, and was shot on the street by some unknown person : but neither 1 nor the commu nity at large know any more about it tnan an mnaDitani or ijouis. imens who are not of our faith do not suffer from intimidation here. In no other community could men pursue the course many do here without experiencing the vengeance of a, vigilance committee: The outrageous slanders they have circulated against us would have provoked such an outbreak elsewhere. , There are"a few speculators her? who Are anxious to make it appear ! that American citizens' lives are in 'danger through religious fanaticism, hoping thereby to j have ; troops , sent here to make money out of contracts. Gentiles' lives are as safe here as Mormons' and acts of violence occur more rarely in this city than any other of its . size in any of the new States or Territories..!-) ,kVl--.j '-:: : ;'. ';" :r. CITIZENS OF UTAH TO GENERAL SHERMAN. Major General Sherman: Sir: We, the undersigned, residents of Great Salt Lake City, and not mem bers of the" "Morman Church, - have read- the above teleeram of' Mr, oung, and freely certify that we fully believe that citizens of every class. who simply attend to their, legitimate business, are as tree irom intimidation and as fully respected in their rights in this city as in any part of the United States : W.

SHERMAN TO BRIGHAM YOCNG, Briaham Youna: " ' ' - ' Sir Your dispatch is received, and I am much gratified at its substance and epmt. 4 - ;-'--'; r'".;,r,1! '- : .r--,-- - - W. T. Sherman. , ' Major General, com'dg Dept. The following, which we find in the Richmond Enquirer of the 9th, is un questionably the most sensible article we have seen in a Southern paper cince the rebellion commenced:, i If the Southern press, generally, would adopt such sentiments, 'inetead ef feeding their "readers with the idea that by the aid of the President and

the- Democratic party of the11 North,"old times will Booja-come - Again when they may indulge in "exploita(tion tby,making, negroes restored to their " normal condition "of slavery, toil for them they would confer inestimable benefit on the people of the South and of tie ' whole Union, and could entertain for themselves a greater self-respect: In the poverty wcicl i has befallen us, it is essential that all go to work, and in earnest . Wesd nearly, forgot how to work in the easy times of the ante-war-era, that we need to take lessons from the example of our fathers. We must learn from the simple habits of the generation thai rose early and toiled late, and practised the rules of econoMy and thrift. ' It is a curious matter of reflection to call to inind the progress which indolence has made, even among men of

business. Formerly, the labor or a position was expected to be performed by its incumbent. Nowr every such man must have his assistant or deputy : to-do' the work, while he 'himself ! maintains the dignity of the position. The consequence is, the work is badly done,' at' double -the just expense. Men do so dislike to obey the apostolic injunction of laboring with their own Juinds, that they will avoid it if they can-, , , J. hey devote themselves accora-ine-lv to the act of exploitation, as George JFitzhugh,1 the Virginia philosopner, .calls those devices by which onq man contrives to get the main benent of another man s toil. . We have known a carpenter to set himself up as a contractor, on thei labor of an apprentice and a ; hired ' negrol He made his Hying eitheT by paying them an inadequate price foV their services, or by exacting a high price for their work, or by both. He necessarily exploited both from them and from his own employers. . , We have seen assistants crowded about a place of business, each jealousor fear the other might not get their share, and so the work was often imperfectly attended to. . -Often,. too, is it seen that persons eek situations with an eye alone to the salajfy.They re like4he caidid Irishman, except in his candor, who, when informed by the gentleman to whom he applied for a situation that he had no work to offer him, replied that it was' not the work that he wanted, but the money he would willingly take - the salary without the work. ' ; We must stop all this. ' All must work honestly and faithfully, and with their own hands. It is an evil thing to be above one's . business. Nor is this any time for exploitations. If there must be contractors and superintendents and deputy , superintendents, to reap their successive profits on journeymen's work, the journeymen, superintendents, contractors and all, will stand idle all the day, for no man can hire them. The strikes for high wages and for , short time, which we read of over the country, are practically but strikes for holidays. The. hard times are; upon us. andever-w man, except a favored few, must work hard and practice economy to keep the wolf from his door. And let no man remain idle for want of opportunity for his accustomed employment. Let him not be ashamed ; to dig; ashamed of nothing but idleness ; that, indeed, will be his disgrace. 1 he . majority oi the bouthern com munity have already learned the lesn .1. - mi sons oi wieir position. j.ney are diligently at work. They are battling with the difficulties of the situationdoing the best they can 'now, with hope in the luture. borne farmers are thus planting, and sowing, and equip ping their farms, while others are moping, and repining, and moaning about the ; hard times. - Some merchants, manufacturers .. and mechanics, ; are adapting themselves to the circuia-, stances; gome individuals who have ost ' their lormer employments are finding out new. even though less eligible while others are occupied with vain lamentations, and waiting to be taken un just where thev were put down, by a return of the old times and the old condition of things, which will never return , again. - Those who are soonest at work--those who imitate the ant that begins to rebuild its house the moment it is destroyed will soonest be on their feet again. They will be the men of consequence and of property, while the idle and the repining will Bink in hopeless poverty. Let every one bestir himself. Let the farmer remember Poor Richard's maxim ' " He who by the plough -would thrive. Mast either hold himself or drive;" and also his injunction . "Plough deep while sluggards sleep, And you'll have corn to sell and keep." ; Let mechanics remember to w handle their tools wlthoit gloves," because " the cat in mittens catches no mice Let all remember that the best servant a man can employ, is himself. Work at low rates rather than be idle. If men are not able to employ or pur chase at full price,-entice them by the moderation oi your demands. The South is reviving, her business is ,in - i . . creasing, anu ner prospects are lmurovine let every one. m every call ing and pursuit, see that he is no idler hv the wavside. no laggard in the race. The man who can do nothing except what is very'daintyi . and at fancy wages, and who takes a ten-cent cigar from his lips to tell how poor, he is. and that his family are without bread. is' one who is likely to die out during the present stringency like winter killed wheat.
