Brother Parley P. Pratt and Amasa Lyman
returned from the Eugene branch, Indiana,
where I had sent them; with a company of about
a dozen men. The report of mobs which were
continually saluting our rear, caused the brotherin
to be constantly alive to the subject, and about
eleven oclock this evening, our picketed guard
reported that they saw the fires of the mob on
the south east of us. I instantly discovered the
mistake, but wishing the brotherin to enjoy
the scene as well as myself, amediately discharged
my gun which was a signal to call all
men to arms. When the companies were all
paraded, and ready for battle, I pointed them
to the reflection of the rising moon, resting on
points of timber on the east, which gave the ap-
parence of the reflection of the light, of a number
of camp fires. The scenery was most delightful,
and was well worth the trouble of any man
arising from his coutch to witness, who had
never see the like, on the broad prairie before.
This circumstance provered that nearly every
man in the camp was ready for battle ac-
cepte Gould (who was not baptized) and cap-
tain Jezeniah B. Smith who was suddenly
taken with the chollic and did not leave
