that they would humble themselves the Lord
and keep his commandments and obey the
counsel of the Prophet, the power of God rested
upon them and we were all bathed in tears.

the saints from that hour."
This day the "Enquirer" published the cor-
respondence between the Sheriff and the Camp,
of the 22nd of June, as follows:
"Being a citizen of Clay County and knowing
that there is considerable excitement amongst
the people thereof; and also knowing that
different reports are arriving almost hourly,
and being requested by the Hon. J. F. Ryland
to meet the Mormons under arms, and ob-
tain from the leaders thereof the correctness of
the various reports in circulation, the true in-
tent and meaning of their present movemen-
ts, and their views generally regarding the
difficulties existing between them and Jackson
County, I did in company with other gentle-
men call upon the said leaders of the
Mormons at their camp in Clay County,—and
now give to the people of Clay County their
written statement containing the substance of
what passed between us. (Signed) Cornelius Gillium.
