IMPORTANT FROM UTAH. THE ARMY AT SALT LAKE CITY, ARRIVAL OF THE PEACE COMMISSIONERS. THEIR NEGOTIATIONS WITH BRIGHAM Y OUNG Desolate Condition of the City. From Our Special Correspondent. Great Salt Lake City, U. T., June 17, 1858. The first division of the army (which I accompanied), consisting of Phelps's Battery, the 2d Dragoons and the Volunteer Battalion, marched from Fort Bridger on the 13th, and camped at night en the Muddy, 13 miles distant The next day they advanced 20 miles, to Bear River, where they ware joined at nightfall by Gen. Johnston and his staff, accompanied by all the civil officers of the Territory except the Governor and the Superintendent of Indian Affairs, who, you are aware, had followed the Commissioners into the city several days before. Here an express arrived from Gov. Powell and Maj. McCulloch, announcing that the Mormons had accepted the President's proclamation, and would comply with its injunctions; that they hid premised obedience to the Federal Government, would receive the Territorial officers, and would present no opposition to the advance of the Army. On the noon of the 15th, the United States Marshal, Mr. Dotson, started for the city, accompanied by the mail and a small party of civilians, which I joined. We arrived about 4 o'clock this afternoon. Along the road we encountered no one bat two parties of apostates on their way to the States. I have ceased to ridicule the extravagant rhetoric of the Mormons about the "Valleys of the Mountains," or to wonder that a people so fanatical by nature should have found in the scenery which surrounds them inspiration for the "war." I have traversed the Tyrol, wandered through Switzerland, tramped with a party of German students over the hills of the Palatinate, have crossed the Alleghanies half a dozen times, and have waded in the trout brooks of Northern New-Hampshire so many Summers that I am familiar with every landscape between Lakes Umbagog and Connecticut, but I have never seen a panorama of mountain scenery so varied and beautiful as on our ride from Bear River to the Valley of the Great Lake. For miles and miles in the kanyons the road winds through thickets of willows and alders and hawthorn bushes, whose twigs interlaced and often hung so low under the load of leaves and blossoms that even when we bent down on the necks of our little Indian ponies they swept our hacks. Through the interstices of the foliage we could catch glimpses of the mountain sides, streaked by slides of gravel and studded with masses of sandstone, surrounded by twittering flocks of birds which had built their nests in the crevices of the rock. The ridges we crossed between kanyon and kanyon were covered with fields of luxuriant grass and flowers. From them, whenever the sun shone clear, we could see on the west and south the broken line of the Wahsatch range; but through the morning haze only the outline of its white crests was visible, and our eyes strained to discern more. For the first night we camped at sunset about half way through Echo Kanyon, which is 20 miles Song. We started the next morning at dawn, and just about sunrise caught a glimpse of the Mormon fortifications, none of which were visible during our fast day's ride. As the kanyon approaches Weber River, it dwindles in width to five or six hundred feet. The northern side becomes a perfect wall of rock, which rises perpendicularly hundreds of feet above the road. The southern side retains the character of an abrupt mountain slope covered with grass and stunted bushes. The creek, with its dense fringe of willows, fills the whole bottom between the road and the bluffs. The first indication that we were approaching the fortifications was the sight of piles of rock heaped into walls pierced with loopholes, which were visible on every projecting point of the cliffs along the northern side, from most of which a pebble could be snapped down upon the road. Shortly after, on turning a bend in the kanyon, we saw that all the willows along the creek had been cut away, and through the cleared space a ditch about five feet wide and ten feet deep was dug across the whole bottom, which the road crossed on a corduroy bridge. The dirt thrown from this ditch was packed so as to form a dam on which logs were so placed that it would answer also for a breastwork, behind which riflemen could be posted under cover. A sluiceway at one end allowed a free flow to the creek, but this could easily be filled up, and the material for that purpose was lying near at hand. About 200 yards further on another breastwork and ditch had been constructed from the creek to a rock net: the base of the northern cliff. Space sufficient for, the passage of wagons was left between the rock and the foot of the cliff, and the evident inten-tion was to compel trains to pass beneath the precipice which had probably been mined. At the distance of 50 or 60 yards was another dam and a ditch which the road crossed again on a temporary bridge. The purpose of this ditch was to prevent wagons rom passing to the opposite side of the bottom avoiding the vicinity of the cliff. A hundred yard, further on was the last dam and its accompanying breastwork. They stretched the whole way across the bottom. By the aid of this dam the kanyon ould be overflowed for several hundred yards to the depth of five or six feet. It was constructed just above the mouths of two narrow erges which enter the kanyon at this point, nearly opposite one anther. The earth washed down ou of the gorge on the southern side forms a tongue o sand which extent nearly half way into Echo Kan yon nd obviates the necessity of so long a dam a the first one of series. A gully washed by the rain down the center of this tongue was dug ove and arranged so as to form a breastwork in con nection with the dam. Stone walls were built acros the mouth of each of tire narrow gorges. On the slope of the steep hills adjoining the gorge on the southern side of the kanyon, ditches were dug and embankmen made in front of them at different hights. These command the whole of the for-tifications below. But a flanking party, by taking possession of the summit of any of the southern hills, would command this entire series of works. For nearly a mile below these gorges a chain of low hills, over which the red runs, extends along-side of the kanyon below the loftier peaks which bound it on the. The other half of the kanyon becomes, in consequence, a deep glen, as the cliffs which bound it on the north the almost perpendicularly from the level of the creek This glen is filled with bushes, and in it, thus protected from the wind the Mormon army had its Winter quarters. The huts they occupied were constructed by digging circular holes in the ground, over which were placed boughs in the same manner as the poles of an Indian lodge. Willow twigs were plaited around these boughs, and the whole hut was finally thatched with straw, grass and bark. The doors were tamed by a framework plaited and thatched in the same manner. Many of these huts had chimneys built of sods and stones. An open spot a few hundred feet below the dam was the site of the headquarters of the command. Here the bats we re built around a square, in the center of which was planted a tall pine flag-pole. The whole number of huts was about 150, and they could accommodate on an average 15 men apiece. A little square stone building near the flag-pole was used for a powder magazine. The scenery at this point is exceedingly picturesque. Out of the tangle of willows, alders and wild cherry trees spring the sandstone cliffs, in every crevice of which cedars and fir trees cling to the jagged points of rock. On the other side a sheet of rich verdure rolls up the mountain to its very summit. Down the glen ripples the little creek underneath an arch of fragrant shrubs twined with the slender tendrils of wild hop vines. These fortifications possess no merit and little strength. There is not a Brevet Second Lieutenant in the army who will not smile when he passes them. Echo Kanyon opens on to the Weber River, which the road follows for several miles to a ford. The scenery along the valley is as romantic as a dream of the valley of Rasselas. The horizon on the north and the south is bounded by corrugated ridges, above which rise rocky peaks streaked with snow. There seems to be no outlet for the road, but after crossing the ford the mouth of a kanyon is seen on the west, into which the road turns. It passes over a series of high ridges down into the East Kanyon, through which flows Bushman's Fork. Here we were struck by a heavy thunder-storm, and forced to camp. The rain pattered on us all night long, and lasted through the next forenoon. We climbed the Big Mountain into the cloud, and lost, of course, the famous view from its summit. The clouds lifted as we descended into Emigration Kanyon. All down the slope of the mountain the road was lined with rose-bushes in full bloom, clusters of columbines, and parti-colored tufts of wild flowers, drooping under the weight of rain drops, and just visible through the mist. It was not until we emerged from Emigration Kanyon that we obtained our first view of the city. The sky was clear overhead, and the sun was burning away the clouds from the summits of the West Mountains. They still hung low down on the peaks which bound the valley on the southeast, almost covering the snow upon the crests of the range. The line of the Great Salt Lake was glittering along the western horizon. The transition was so sudden that the whole party uttered a shout of delight. We spurred our ponies down the long slope, those of the company who had lived in the city pointing out the prominent buildings as we galloped along—the tinned cupola of the Court-House, the mansion and the Zion House of Brigham Young, the Temple square, and the Arsenal. All down the valley on each side of the great southern road were broad fields of grain, to which the showers had imparted an additional green. Through the plain we could trace the winding of the Jordan by the glitter of the sunlight on its bends. As we rode through the streets hardly a soul was visible. At last we saw a group of half-naked Indian boys paddling in one of the rivulets which run along the gutters. The city is deserted. GREAT SALT LAKE CITY, U. T. June 18, 1858. The Commissioners started from Camp Scott on June 2, and armed at Salt Lake City on the 7th. They waited a day on the Weber for Gov. Cum-ming to overtake them, but after he had joined them there, he was compelled to fall behind, by an accident which befell his equipage. The Commis-sioners were met on the Weber by Porter Rock-well and Elder Groesbeck, who were traveling eastward with a band of twenty-five men and a large mule herd. They acknowledged (what I surmised in my last letter) that their destination was to Platte Bridge for the purpose of removing the goods left there by Groesbeck last October. I informed you last week of the incidents of the visit to our camp of Groesbeck with eight of the men. Rockwell and the rest of the party did not deem it advisable, it seems, to venture within the guard lines. After recognizing Gov. Powell and Major McCulloch, Rockwell sent a messenger to Provo to warn Brigham Young of their approach. When entering the city the Commissioners were met by George D. Grant and William A. Kimball, both Mormon Major-Generals, who introduced themselves and escorted them to the Globe Restau-rant, which had been opened for their reception. Almost every house in the city was deserted, closed, and partially dismantled. None of the principal dignitaries of the Church—not a single member of the First Presidency or of the Twelve Apostles-were visible. Brigham Young's mansion and his Zion House were abandoned by their occupants; boards were nailed over the windows, the gates were closed, and not a sign of life was visible about the premises. No vehicles were to be seen in the streets, and the few persons whose footsteps were occasionally heard, belonged to the Mormon de-tachment which was left under the command of Grant and Kimball, to take care of the gardens and houses. Through the chinks in the wooden gate of the Temple square a few workmen were to be seen engaged in tearing off the roofs of the buildings within the inclosure, which have been used for civic and ecclesiastical purposes. During the forenoon the Commissioners were visited by James Ferguson, Adjutant-General, and A. P. Rockwood, Commissary General, by Judson Stoddard, William A. Hickman, Robert Burton, and other noted Mormons, who sat down to dinner with them. In the course of the afternoon the party visited the Arsenal, where two six-pounders were exhibited, one of brass, the other iron. An express from Brigham to Ferguson and Grant arrived that evening; and word was brought also that one of the Governor's teams had broken down again, and that Hopkins, Brigham's private Sec-retary, who was returning from Camp Scott with goods which he had purchased there from the sut-lers, had overtaken him and rendered him assist-ance. No sleeping accommodations had been pro-vided for the Commissioners, and they passed the night in their ambulances, while their servants made a bed with their blankets in the porch of the restaurant. The next morning it was reported that the Gov-ernor would enter the Valley through Parley's Kanyon—so named after Parley P. Pratt, who was shot last year in Arkansas, and who held the kan-yon and park through which it runs by virtue of a grant from the Mormon Legislature. Toward noon, therefore, Ferguson, Grant, and one or two others, rode out to meet him, and a dinner was pre-pared for him at the residence of Elder Feramorz Little, at the mouth of the kanyon. Shortly after they started, however, the Governor arrived with his ambulances, having missed the other road and come through Emigration Kanyon. His baggage wagons did not arrive until evening, as they came through Parley's Kanyon. He was conducted im-mediately to his former quarters in the cottage of W. C. Stainer, the Adam-in-the garden scene of the Mormon endowment; bat, as so arrangement had been made for food and service for himself and his family, he was obliged to share the table at the Globe. On the evening of this day (the 9th), his Excellency and the Commissioners had a long inter-view with Ferguson and Chauncey W. West, the Bishop militant of Ogden City, who had been depu-tized for the purpose by Brigham. The result of the conference was such that the two started for Provo at midnight, and returned the next day at neon, bringing news that Brigham would come up in person to have a talk with the Commissioners. On the 10th, about 11 1/2 o'clock, according to agree-ment, Brigham, Heber, and Daniel, as well as George A. Smith, Wm, H. Hooper, and twenty or thirty more of the leading men of the Church, including most if not all of the Twelve Apostles, entered the city. They dined at Brighan's man-sion, and during the evening visited first the Gov-vrnor and then the Commissioners. After supper, Brigham was serenaded by the Mormon militia band—a compliment which was not extended to any of the Gentiles. Arrangements were made for a grand conference between the Commissioners, the Governor, and the Superintendent of Indian Affairs on the one hand, and the First Presidency and Twelve Apostles of the Mormon Church on the other, which com-menced in the Council House the next morning at 10 o'clock. They sat until 2 o'clock in the af-ternoon, when Brigham proposed and carried an ad-journment to 5 o'clock. The conference was private, but the outline of its proceedings, go far as I have been able to gather them, was as follows: Mr. Buchanan's proclamation had been read in public in the city the evening before the Commis-sioners arrived, and a copy was forwarded to Provo the same day. It was received with great surprise and indignation by the bulk of the Mormon popula-tion, as they had been led by Col. Kane to expect a different expression of sentiment than that set forth in the beginning of the document. Even the "full and free" pardon did not reconcile them to the narration of their treasons in the preamble, which they denounced as crammed with falsehoods and unjust aspersions from beginning to end. Some-thing of this same feeling was carried into the con-ference by those Saints of inferior grade who had not been acquainted with Brigham's intention to accept the pardon in spite of the preamble. One of the introductory speeches was made by Elder Erastus Snow, a membler of the Twelve, and was full of profanity and obscenity. I will not dirty my paper by recording or even intimating some of the expressions which he used. He was severely rebuked by Gov. Powell, and each succeeding speech on the Mormon side was more decent in language and moderate in tone. Attempts, in-deed, were made by others to recount their old tales of wrongs and persecutions suffered, but Brigham invariably made them sit down and hush up, telling them that the Commissioners had not been sent to investigate their grievances, and had no authority to notice or redress them, and that he did not wish allusion to be made to the past, for it would not fail to cause distrust and a want of good fellowship. The difficulty in arriv-ing at "harmony" was the fear of the Mormons that the army would be quartered in their settle-ments, and that attempts would be made to inter-fere with polygamy. The word "polygamy" was not once uttered, but the idea was repeatedly ex-pressed by circumlocutions. What private assur-ances may have been given by the Governor and the Superintendent on these points, I do not know to a certainty, although I may write to you more fully on the subject next week. None, I do know to a certainty, were given by the Commissioners. At any rate, at the second conference, which lasted until 8 ½ o'clock in the evening, there was no fur-ther difficulty. The next morning, at a third con-ference, speeches were made by John Taylor, George A. Smith, and finally by Brigham Young himself, in which they made pledges, in behalf of themselves and the Mormon people, to submit to the Federal Government, its laws, and the au-thority of its officers. I am told that throughout all the proceedings Brigham manifested a conciliatory disposition, in-terfering always to allay any ill feeling which was developed during the conferences. He persisted, however, in solemn declarations of his own inno-cence and rectitude, and averred that all the blame for past troubles is chargeable on corrupt officials who were sent here by Presidents Fillmore and Pierce. Every Gentile who was allowed to be present at any of the conferences assures me that the Commissioners conducted themselves with the dignity and firmness which was appropriate to their position. They refused to make any pledges on any subject whatsoever, holding out the Presi-dent's proclamation, and demanding instantaneors and unconditional compliance with its injunctions to obedience. Whenever any Mormon speaker in-dulged in abusive or foul language, they silenced him; and whenever it was sought to introduce for-eign subjects into the debate, they took care to re-store it to its legitimate channel. On the evening of the day of the final conference (the 12th) Gov. Powell addressed a promiscuous audience of Mormons, which assembled in the Council House, at Young's request, saying that their principal citizens had pledged the population to submission and loyalty, and that he hoped the pledges would be redeemed. On the same evening the Commissioners sent a letter to Gen. Johnston, announcing that the leading citizens of the Terri-tory had promised obedience for themselves and in behalf of their fellow-citizens, and had assured them that no attempt would be made to obstruct or molest the army or the Territorial officers. They suggested that, in order to allay the apprehensions of the Mormon population, the General should issue a proclamation respecting the conduct of the troops. The letter reached Gen. Johnston on Bear River on the afternoon of the 13th, and, in compliance with its recommendation, the General issued the following proclamation the next day, which was received and posted in Salt Lake City on the evening of our arrival: TO THE PEOPLE OF UTAH. The Commissioners of the United States, deputed by the President to urge upon the people of this Terri-tory the necessity of obedience to the Constitution and laws, as enjoined by his proclamation, have this day informed me that there will be no obstruction to the administration of the laws of the Federal Government, nor any opposition on the part of the people of this Territory to the military force of the Government in the execution of their orders. I therefore feel it in-cumbent on me, and have great satisfaction in doing so, to assure those citizens of the Territory who, I learn, apprehend from the army ill treatment, that no person whatever will be in wise interfered with or molested in his person or rights, or in the peaceful pursuit of his avccations; and, should protection be needed, that they will find the Army (always faithful to the obligations of duty) as ready now to assist and protect them as it was to oppose them while it was be-lieved that they were resisting the laws of their Gov-ernment. (Signed) A. S. JOHNSTON, Colonel 2d Cavalry, and Brevet Brigadier General Commanding. Headquarters, Department of Utah, Camp on Bear River, June 14, 1858. On the morning of the 14th the Commissioners started for Provo, accompanied by Young, Kimball, Wells, and others. There, on the 16th, Gov. Pow-ell spoke to an audience of more thin 4,000 Mor-mons. They returned to the city to-day, having spoken last evening at the town of Lehi to 1,500 more. It is their intention to await the entrance of the army, see it take its positions in the Terri-tory, and then to return to the States, starting at the beginning of July. Gen. Johnston probably left Bear River to-day with his first division, and if so, will reach the Valley next Tuesday. The army will be marched through the city, I presume, to a temporary camp on the western bank of the Jordan, from which it will soon be removed by de-tachments to camps more convenient to wood and grass. All the wood which is used in the city is brought more than twelve miles from the moun-tains, and sells for $10 per cord. Brigham Young informed the Commissioners at Provo, that the inhabitants will return to Salt Lake City as soon as the army shall have gone into per-manent quarters, but not before. He wishes to avoid all contact between them and the troops. He himself, however, has made extensive invest-ments in real estate near Provo, some persons surmise that in the future he will divide his resi-dence between that town and the city. Several hundred workmen are busy under his direction, opening a road through Provo Kanyon to intersect the main road to the Valley from Fort Bridger. When completed, it will communicate with the continuation of Lieut. Pryan's road from Bridger's Pass. The only Gentiles who entered the city with the Commissioners, the Governor and the Superinten-dent, were Mr. B. F. Ficklin, Mr. Morrell, the Postmaster, and Mr. David A. Burr, a son of the former Surveyor-General. Mr. Burr and Mr. Ficklin suffered no annoyance, but every possible hindrance was thrown in the way of Mr. Morrell. Soon after his arrival he sought an interview with Elias Smith, the Mormon ex-Postmaster, and de-manded the furniture of the Post-Office, the keys of the mail-bags, &c. Smith replied that he did not recognize the validity of his appointment, but that he would "take counsel" on the subject, and give him an answer the next day. The next day came, and he was just as undecided as ever, but on the day following Mr. Morrell brought him to terms by declaring that unless the keys were immediately surrendered, he would neither remain in the city nor open the mail. The keys were given up, but Smith refused to vacate the building which he used for a Post-Office, or to allow Mor-rell to transact business there. After a great deal of trouble, Mr. Morrell secured the use of half a room in a store on a side street, and the mail was opened and delivered. Notwithstanding the "harmony" which the Governor and the Superintendent assert prevails, it is impossible for a Gentile to rent a house any-where within the city. I was requested to select and rent a convenient building for certain civil officers of the Territory who will arrive with the army; but every Mormon to whom I have applied for that purpose has answered that he cannot let even a single room without "taking counsel." At present I am dependent on Marshal Dotson for the privilege of spreading my blankets on the floor of a room in his little adobe; but I do not know how soon an attempt may be made to dislodge me and my companions from even these quarters. Within two hours after his arrival the Marshal was told that his house and land were sold during the month of April for non-payment of taxes, and that he had committed a trespass in entering the prem-ises. I learn that the real estate which Mr. Hock-aday, the United States Attorney, owned within the city was appropriated and sold at the same time on the same pretense. The price for which these pieces of property were disposed of is suffi-cient evidence of the outrage which was committed in their sale. The tannery which belonged to Mr. Hockaday, and for which he paid taxes on an as-sessment of $12,000 in the year 1856, was sold for $125, with all the fixtures and stock, the value of which was at least $25,000 more. The work of removing goods and furniture still goes on. Even during the progress of the conferences a train started for Provo, loaded with boxes and packages from the Tithing Office. During the few hours I have been in the city I have seen the roof torn from one house, and the windows removed from three or four. Last evening my attention was attracted to a noise in the street, and on going to the door to ascertain its cause, I saw that goods were being removed from the office of the Quarter-master-General of the Mormon Army, and that workmen were tearing off the shutters and nailing boards over the windows. In many of the vacated buildings I see piles of combustibles ready for firing. You are aware of the unsuccessful attempt of D. W. Thorpe, an agent of Col. Kinney, to communi-cate with Brigham Young from the East last Win-ter. The Colonel was more fortunate in agents which he dispatched from the California side. Three gentlemen, named Clarkson, Brookie, and Harvin, arrived from Provo last week, where they had been visiting Brigham. They had proposed to sell him, on behalf of Col. Kinney, 3,000,000 acres of land in the Mosquito country, at ten cents per acre. But Brigham replied that this country suits him well enough, and that he intended to make a stand here. There is little money current here except the Mormon gold coin, and the one dollar shinplasters of the Deseret Currency Association, which are printed on tissue paper. These bills promise to pay "one dollar in live stock upon the presenta-tion of one hundred dollars." I have not seen a piece of silver since I have been in the city. The Mormon guard which remains in the city has its regular roll-calls at sunrise and sunset, at which it appears underarms. Whether these per-formances are authorized by Gov. Cumming I do not know, but it would be more indicative of "harmony " if the guard would confine itself to the duty of police without aspiring to military display. I have been told to-day that Brigham Young's first wife remains in the city and retains her apart-ments in the mansion. Correspondence of The Cincinnati Inquirer. CAMP ON BEAR RIVER, UTAH TERRITORY, FRIDAY, June 18,1858. I sent you by the last mail the order of march for the Army of Utah to advance in the direction of Salt Lake. The first division left Camp Scott on Sunday, the 13th, the second division on the day following, and the third division on Tuesday, the 15th—one day sooner than was expected when I wrote you. I was with the third division—rear division—com-manddd by Col. Alexander. The tents were struck early in the morning of Tuesday, but owing to the un-avoidable delay of putting in motion the immense train of wagons which, in a country like this, must of ne-cessity accompany a large column of troops, it was 11 o'clock before we turned our backs upon Fort Bridger. Soldiers and wagons now stretched out far on the Salt Lake road, and began ascending the mountains to the south-west. Every one seemed in the happiest state of excitement. The soldiers sang as merrily as if they were going to a grand frolic. Soon we reached the top of the Big Butte, which, from Fort Bridger, shuts out the horizon, as you look along the Salt Lake road. Here we beheld, lying far beneath us, the ruins of old Camp Scott and the gray walls of Fort Bridger; beyond, the eye rested upon mountain ranges, rising high above another, lifting their ragged and snowy peaks aloft to the sky. As we crossed the summits of the distant hills, we turned again and again to catch a lingering glimpse of Fort Bridger until it faded from our view. Looking back, too, we beheld far behind our trains, creeping over the hill-tops, and winding slowly around the bases of mountains, presenting a singular and beautiful appear-ance. At night we camped on the Muddy (which has its appropriate name) having marched thirteen miles. Next morning we advanced, ascending hill after hill, for eight miles, when we crossed "Quaking Aspen" Mountain, and then descended for miles through nar-row valleys, walled up on either side by high ranges of rugged hills with immense and frightful rocks poised upon their summits. On one of these hills, from which the read could be enfiladed, the Mormons had nicely constructed, of rock, a redan with loop holes to shoot through. Such a work could have been of but little value to them, as one piece of our artillery could knock it to atoms in five minutes. The second day's march brought us to Bear River, where we found the two advance divisions with the headquarters halted. It was intended here to change the order of march, and the whole army to resume its march on the day after the arrival of the rear division; but the high water in the river and the difficulty of crossing it have detained us two days. The army is now across, having lost only a few mules by drowning. The first and second divisions forded the stream, but it had risen so much before the third division could cross, that a bridge had to be built, and the wagons of this division were pulled across by hand. Lieutenant Forney, of the 10th Infantry, and Cap-tain McGraw, of the Volunteers, were sent ahead this morning with their companies to build a bridge over the Waber River. The army will continue its march to-morrow, and daily after that, till arrival in Salt Lake. The order of march is entirely reversed. A bat-talion, under command of Brevet-Colonel C. F. Smith, composed of Capt. Gardner's company of infantry, two companies of cavalry and one section of Phelps's Battery, constituting the advanced guard, will march at 5 a. m; then comes the 10th Infantry and Phelps's Battery at 5 ¼ a. m.; next, the 5th Infantry and Reno's Battery at 5 ¾ a. m.; next, Col. Loring's battalion of Mounted Riflemen, lst Cavalry (300), 6th and 7th In-fantry. at 6 ¼ a. m.; next, the Volunteers, commanded by Col. Bee, at a. m.; next, the 2d Dragoons, con-stituting the rear guard, at 7 a. m. The headquarters will be with the advance. On the 15th an express came to Gen. Johnston from the Commissioners in Salt Lake, announcing that peace was made with the Mormons. The terms and conditions acceded to were dictated in the President's proclamation. The Mormon leaders wished to stipulate particularly that the troops should not be quartered in their houses among their people; but were informed by the Commissioners that, such con-dition was useless, as our laws provided against that, and that the soldiery sent to maintain the law would not be likely to break it in this instance. The Commissioners, I understand, were not well re-ceived, They were not at first allowed a house to sleep in, and were met with defiance and threats to burn the city. The Mormons had all deserted but about three hundred men and a dozen women, and straw was stuffed into the houses ready to fire the city; but upon hearing that Gen. Johnston was about to advance; and believing it a fact, the head traitors "caved in," and came to terms to the tune of "double quick" time. Erastus Snow, an apostle, abused the President in the Tabernacle, and denounced his proclamation as a "tissue of lies from beginning to end," but finally con-sidered it safest to avail himself of the Executive clemency. The Mormons are all to return to the city and to their homes. Correspondence of The St. Louis Republican. GREAT SALT LAKE CITY, June 18, 1858. The Peace Commissioners arrived hers in the early part of last week, and were soon joined by the Gov-ernor, and in a few days thereafter by the Secretary of the Territory. A meeting was immediately called, and on the 10th and 11th insts. a conference was had between the Governor and Commissioners, and the heads of the Mormon Church. It lasted four hours each day; there was no small quantity of feeling dis-played. It is reported in the streets that Brigham be-came unusually eloquent on the occasion; but all soon subsided, and conditions were agreed upon by which the tomahawk was buried. These conditions were about the same as had been agreed upon on the Governor's first visit, viz.: The troops were to enter without opposition; civil officers to be permitted to perform the various duties of their offices without interruption, and an unconditional obedience to the laws of the land. On the other hand, all prior offenses were to be forgotten as per Presi-dent's proclamation—bygones to be bygones. This city, which six weeks ago contained not less than 15,000 inhabitants, now has but little over 100, they all having emigrated to a small town about fifty miles south, called Provo, where they live, some in tents, some in wagons, some in small houses, and some without any one of these comforts. And even to this day, notwithstanding the treaty of peace, they con-tinue to leave the city which they have been for the last ten years attempting to build. The roofs of the public works, the floors of the houses and all the board fencing, have been used in boarding up the doors and windows of the houses. All appear des-olate—hardly a person can be seen, save about the Post-Office, and about a small but neat restaurant, which is the only place of accommodation in the city, and it only affording relief in the way of meals. Not a cent's worth can be bought here, nor can any work be procured from the manufacturing establishments. One baker's shop embraces all the trade and com-merce of the city. The Governor and lady were fortunate enough to come across a person kind enough to permit them to occupy his house; but all others, officers and strangers, have to enjoy the luxury of sleeping in their carriages or on the ground. The war may be at an end, but there is yet some shadow of doubt. I have asked many of the Mormons why it is they yet continue to remove their households and provisions at so great an expense, when all things are reported settled? But few will answer in plain terms, and those who do, say that they have not confi-dence in the fulfillment of what they consider the agreement. That they want to see the army enter and locate before they change the plans previously adopted by them. The fact is this: If the army lo-cates adjacent to this city, the Mormons will not re-turn to it, and will, in all probability, destroy, by fire, the whole city, and this intention may account for their refusing to allow any one to occupy their houses. As a general thing the Mormons are kind and plea-sant to most of the civil officers, but they entertain an everlasting hatred to certain ones of the number and are utterly opposed to the army being located near them. By dispatches received here yesterday from Gen. Johnston, he notified the Government Commissioners and people of Utah that he will leave Bear River (eighty miles from Salt Lake City), on the 17th inst., and expects to arrive in the city in five days, at which time all matters will be settled, and you will hear the news by next mail. The correspondent of The Cincinnati Enquirer sends from Bear River the Proclamation of Gen. Johnston and his letter to the Commisioners. It may be inferred, he says, however, from his wise and sys-tematic arrangement of the march, that Gen. Johnston does not place implicit faith in the promises of these traitors in Utah. TO THE PEOPLE OF UTAH. The Commissioners of the United States, deputed by the Presi-dent to urge upon the people of this Territory the necessity of obedience to the Constitution and the laws, enjoined by his proc-lamation, have this day informed me that there will be no ob-struction to the administration and execution of the laws of the Federal Government, nor any opposition on the part of the proper authorities of this Territory to the military force of the Gov-ernment, in the execution of their orders. I, therefore, feel it incumbent on me, and have great satisfaction in doing go, to assure those citizens of the Territory who, I learn, apprehend, from the army, ill-treatment, that no person what-ever will be in any wise interfered with in his person or rights, or in the peaceful pursuit of his avocations; and should protection be needed, that they will find the army (always faith-ful to the obligations of duty) as ready now to assist and protect them as it was to oppose them while it was believed they were resisting the laws of their Government. (Signed) A. S. JOHNSTON, Col. 2d Cavalry, And Brevet Brigadier-General Commanding. Headquarters Department of Utah, Camp on Bear River, June 14, 1858. LETTER TO THE COMMISSIONERS. HEAD-QUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF UTAH, CAMP ON BEAR RIVER, June 15,1858. To the Hon. L. W. POWELL and Major B. MCCUL-LOCH, U. S. Commissioners to Utah. GENTLEMEN: Your communication from Salt Lake City was received to-day. The accomplishment of the object of your mission, entirely in accordance with the instructions of the President—the wisdom and forbearance of which you have so ably displayed to the people of the Territory—will, I hope, lead to a more just appreciation of their relations to the Gen-eral Government, and the establishment of the su-premacy of the laws. I learn with surprise that uneasiness is felt by the people as to the treatment they may receive from the army. Acting under the two-fold obligations of citizens and soldiers, we may be sup-posed to comprehend the rights of the people, and to be suffi-ciently mindful of the obligations of our oaths, not to disregard the laws which govern us as a military body. A reference to them will show with what jealous card the General Government has guarded the rights of citizens against any encroachments. The army has duties to perform here in execution of the orders of the Department of War. which, from the nature of them, can-not lead to interference with the people in their various pursuits, and, if no obstruction is presented to the discharge of these du-ties, there need not be the slightest apprehension that any person whatever will have cause of complaint against it. The army will continue its march from this position on Thursday, the 17th inst., and reach the Valley in five days. I desire to encamp beyond the Jordan on the day of arrival in the Valley. With great respect your obedient servant, (Signed) A. S. JOHNSTON, Colonel Second Cavalry, And Brevet Brig. General U. S. A. Commanding. Headquarters Department of Utah, Camp on Bear River, June. 18, 1858. [Official.] F. J. PORTER. Ass't Adj't General.

Michigan's Thaddeus McCotter drops his bid for president
By Mark Brush
U.S. Reprsentative Thaddeus McCotter (R-Livonia) has dropped his bid for the Republican presidential nominiation.
From the Detroit News:
Livonia Rep. Thaddeus McCotter told The Detroit News this afternoon that he is leaving the race for the Republican presidential nomination after he failed to win access to the Republican presidential debates.
"If they keep you out of the debates, you are out of the conversation and you can't run," McCotter said. "It was sort of death by media."
McCotter says he will give his support to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the Michigan native, and will likely run again for the 11th District congressional seat he's held since 2003.

AC Malaga Palacio Hotel Guest Reviews (24)
When we checked in the clerk commented that we had an orbitz reservation. He assigned us a room and the second clerk working changed the assignment saying that we had a discounted room. The room was very small and had a view of a wall of the hotel. We had a second reservation for the next day through the hotel. We literally checked out and checked back in and were given a room with a view of the beach and the city. If you book through Orbitz expect to be treated like a fifth class customer. Hotel is ok, room allocation stinks.

Very nice hotel in great location overlooking Malaga harbour. Fabulous views from rooftop pool and bar area, overlooking the cathedral. Very clean and spacious room, comfortable bed. Staff excellent - always willing to help.

Location was excellent. Rooms functional but a bit stark for our taste. Unfortunately water went off for 10 hours one day and two of the three lifts were inoperational for one of the mornings, which resulted in a half hour wait for the lift (our room on 10th floor so very inconvenient). Staff were polite but not friendly.

The best part of the hotel is its location. The hotel staff are not a friendly lot, but I was not expecting them to be. The breakfast, for the cost of EUR 16 per head is expensive, considering the choice on the menu. But, the area around offers cheaper options so thats good. I would recommend this hotel to people who only want a room to stay in the center of Malaga. Its a happening place around the hotel.

Rooftop pool a bit small, but excellent views and general location allow you to explore old town Malaga on foot. Clean/modern rooms. What you would expect from a hotel catering for business travellers.

SAN DIEGO -- Long-distance affairs are a labor of love for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Didi Gregorius' RBI triple in the 12th inning lifted the Diamondbacks to a 2-1 victory over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night at Petco Park.
In the process, the Diamondbacks set a major league record for extra innings in a single season, with their total of 78 surpassing the 76 played by the 1969 Minnesota Twins. Arizona is 17-7 in extra-innings games this year.
"We have been resilient in these games all year," said Arizona manager Kirk Gibson, whose club has played a major league high 12 games of 12 innings or more this season. "We hung in there. This park (was) a hard place for us to score in all year. We've got two games (and) we've scored three runs. It was good to get that win."
In the 12th, Gregorius lined a Luke Gregerson pitch down the first base line, scoring Chris Owings, who doubled, and snapping a five-game losing streak at Petco by the Diamondbacks. Gregerson (6-8) allowed a run and two hits in one inning.
"It feels really good since we've been playing so many extra-inning games," said Gregorius, who went 1-for-3 with two walks. "When you get the 'W,' it's fun."
Josh Collmenter (5-4) pitched a perfect 11th, and Brad Ziegler retired the side in order in the 12th for his career-high 12th save.
"A lot of the games that we've played extra innings were because of blown saves," said Ziegler, who has two blown saves. "But at the same time, it says a lot about our offense because there were a lot of games we came from behind to get that win, too. It's hard on the pitching staff and fatiguing for everybody, but we fought through it."
Paul Goldschmidt hit his National League-leading 36th home run in the sixth for the Diamondbacks (80-77).
The Padres (73-84) tied the score with two outs in the eighth when a David Hernandez pitch got through Miguel Montero for a passed ball, allowing pinch runner Reymond Fuentes to score.
Arizona starter Wade Miley struck out seven and walked one in six scoreless innings, throwing 107 pitches (67 strikes). Two of the four hits Miley allowed never reached the outfield. The hardest-hit ball against him was a two-out single in the fifth by pitcher Tyson Ross.
Ross also had a strong outing but got no run support again. The right-hander, who set down 10 consecutive batters at one point, gave up a run on three hits and three walks (one intentional) in eight innings. He struck out six and hit a batter. Ross threw 90 pitches (61 strikes).
"Nick (Hundley) called a great game, and I had a great defense behind me as usual," Ross said.
A lack of offensive support, though, remains Ross' biggest headache. In his past 11 starts, the Padres have scored just 12 runs.
Goldschmidt drove an 0-2 fastball from Ross over the wall in right for a solo shot with two outs in the sixth, breaking a scoreless tie. The first baseman extended his hitting streak to 14 games.
"I wanted it off the plate, but it caught the plate," Ross said. "He's a good hitter. He's one of the best power hitters in the National League, and he put a good swing on it.
NOTES: Gibson addressed reports that at least one or several Dodgers players urinated in the Chase Field pool during Thursday's celebration after Los Angeles won the National League West title. "I will just say that there's been some discussion about that whole incident and it's been debated," Gibson said. "I think we can all agree that it's inappropriate to (urinate) in somebody's pool. We were taught that from the time when we were very young. Let's leave it at that." ... Padres SS Ronny Cedeno didn't play after being hit in the head by a pitch from Arizona RHP Heath Bell on Monday night. ... San Diego OF Will Venable sat out a second consecutive game after being diagnosed with an abdominal strain Monday. The timetable for his return is unknown. ... Padres RHP Ian Kennedy (6-10, 5.06) will face his former mates for the second time Wednesday since being traded July 31. Kennedy allowed six runs in 4 1/3 innings against the Diamondbacks on Aug. 27 but didn't factor in the decision. RHP Randall Delgado (5-6, 3.96) will start for Arizona.

Marvin is an extensible image processing framework for Java. It provides features to manipulate images, to manipulate captured video frames, and to process images with multi-threading. Its features can be extended via plug-ins. Plug-ins can be integrated with the graphical user interface, and their plug-in performance can be analyzed. Every image processing algorithm is developed as a plug-in that can be plugged into the MarvinEditor, an image manipulation program that uses plug-ins developed using Marvin, or into third-party applications. Currently there are 55 plug-ins available.
The klish is a framework for implementing Cisco-like command-line interfaces on Unix systems. It is configurable through XML files. "Klish" stands for "Kommand Line Interface SHell". The klish is a fork of clish-0.7.3. The original clish was developed by Graeme McKerrell. The klish adds some new features, but is compatible (as much as possible) with clish's XML configuration files.
Ultimix is a framework for developing Web-based applications (CMS, portals, ERPs, etc.) It includes multi-language support, permits management, an MVC mini framework, package structure, a template engine, a Javascript library, a simple GUI library, a caching system, and CAPTCHA.
Jat (Java Application Template) is a Java framework that is easy to extend. It supplies modular and flexible basic functionalities to develop Web and standalone applications. It can improve application start-up time. Jat Portal is an enhanced version of Jat. It provides several pre-configured features to build a complete Web application.
libNUI is a hardware accelerated GUI framework that makes it possible to build rich multi-platform applications based on 3D rendered dynamic layouts. Interfaces are built as a composition of widgets and behaviors, and the framework handles positioning, resizing, anchoring, and texture stretching. Objects are connected with synchronous events and delegates for mono-threaded communication, or asynchronous notifications and message queues are used for multi-threaded applications. It also supports strings (including Unicode), paths, files, data streams, fonts, threads, critical sections, audio buffer rendering, and more.
PhpStartApp (PSA) is intended to be the base of a PHP Web application. It is collection of classes, a small framework, that will help you to start a new Web application and tries to solve some common problems and tasks. It will not force you to drastically change your coding style or introduce tons of abstraction layers or wrappers that you have to learn. Its main purpose is to force modular design based on plug-ins and some common design patterns, and to provide flexible solutions for some common problems. The idea is that you build your application upon PSA by making plug-ins that are nothing more than classes that extend Psa_Plugin classes.

Re: Recommendations on learning Japanese
I've to give my opinion about Japanese Course
The course layout is very nice. Subscribers receive one-to-one attentions. The annual fee of $23 is more than reasonable for the care subscribers seem to receive. There is many mp3 file and flash games. And... You can find there free hiragana&katakana flash lesson. Very recommendable. |
Re: Recommendations on learning Japanese
I realize that this is a very old thread, but I was wondering: Has anything come out in the past years that would help me learn. Because I would love to learn Japanese (very cliche, I know) so I could watch some R2s. I know of Rosetta Stone and actually have all three language packs. I'd like to hear mainly from people who know Japanese that don't live/haven't lived there. (Sorry to the mods for this massive Necro-post, but I didn't think it was appropriate to start a new thread when this one is stickied.)

Re: Recommendations on learning Japanese
There are only 3 ways to learn a language, with the best being a combination of all 3: 1. Classes. If you can take a course at a college or university, do it. Might not be the fastest way depending on the course, but it'll drill the language into you (and having actual tests and quizzes never hurt) 2. Books. For a beginner I'd suggest the series of textbooks called "Genki" which have very good english grammar explanations and a large amount of material (each book covers about 1 year of a college course). For self study I also recommend "Japanese: Step by Step" which is a small, compact text with a ton of information in it, organized very logically. 3. Friends. Make a Japanese friend and try and get them to speak in Japanese with you. Can be done over the internet but better in RL. Systems like Rosetta Stone are a waste of money, in my opinion. They might help you quickly understand very basic Japanese, but they'll be useless to progress further than that and you'll need to use something specifically developed for Japanese language learning.

supplements for rossessta stone
So please forgive me but I don't have the time to read thorugh this whole thread and my situation is a little special. I would like to be able to read manga in the original language and maybe eventually get paid for translating it (yes I am crazy I know) or at the least be able to travel to japan to observe how they teach on the community college level so I can use it to improve teaching in the United States. So I am starting with Rosetta Stone to learn Japanese it seems to be working amazingly well. I am on the second lesson and begining to be able to recognize hirigani simple ones for young old male and female but the fact that I can do it at all scares me.
What are good supplements that I should use for this? I have computer and internet access for the foreseeable future. Thanks Oh and if it makes a difference I am really zaldar...just still having issues with the login it seems. Particular question, the software I am using has all the alphabets romanji to katana I know to stay away from romanji and except for the first time through grammer parts I generaly do, but of the others which should I focus on? Hirigani I am beginig to understand... kanji and furigani scare me... |
Re: supplements for rossessta stone
Furigana is just hiragana when its right next to a kanji to show you how to pronounce it. The three types of characters are hiragana, katakana and kanji, and you need to learn them all if you actually want to learn the language. Learn the hiragana first, then work on the katakana and kanji. Hiragana are the most basic characters and are everywhere. Katakana is a lot less common but you still need to know them, as they are used for loanwords and non-Japanese names (oh, and onomatopoeia like sound effects). Learn the kanji last. If you really put your mind to it, you can get the hiragana and katakana down pretty well in a few weeks, maybe even less. You'll spend several years learning the ~2,000 "basic" kanji. I've always been under the impression that Rosetta Stone is really bad for learning Japanese and your post only reinforces that. It sounds like Rosetta stone is just throwing things at you with no real rhyme, reason, or any useful guidance or explanation. The fact that you had to ask how that question about hiragana, katakana and kanji means the program didn't tell you how to go about it. I also noticed that you mentioned nothing about grammar or sentence structure. Has it even explained anything about the grammar, or is it just throwing vocabulary and phrases at you? You should really look into getting some sort of actual books designed to teach the language. I've been using Yookoso for my classes and its worked out pretty well for me. Just note that HAVE to buy the workbook too; its not just more exercises, that's where all the kanji information is that you need to actually learn it. This thread also has other book recommendations. Actually reading the thread would be a good idea.

With eight U.S. senators unveiling one approach to overhauling U.S. immigration laws Monday and President Obama outlining his own vision for reform in a Tuesday afternoon speech, momentum for addressing what has been a knotty political issue appears to be building. Against that backdrop, The Am Law Daily checked in with Bo Cooper, head of immigration-centric Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen and Loewy's government strategies and compliance group, about the possible impact reform would have on the firm and the companies it advises.

Contiki Tours that travel to Liechtenstein >
This tiny Principality is sandwiched between Switzerland and Austria and is the forth smallest country in the world. Lichtenstein is nowhere near as well known as the other tiny European nations of the Vatican, Monaco and San Marino and there is good reason for this lack of recognition.
In past decades the country's the main claims to fame have been that they are the world biggest producer of false teeth and that they use unique printing process when producing their stamps, a fame that spread as far as dentists and philatelists.
The current ruler (and heir to the throne), Prince Alois, is trying to encourage a more high-profile image for the country through international investment and is patronage of modern art. Although they have hostel the UEFA Junior Football Championships, Lichtenstein is still not know for any major international events.
The Capital 'city' is Vaduz and this is a lunch stop on many Contiki Tours passing through the region and for most people it is an opportunity to get your passport stamped with one of the most obscure stamps in the world (it will cost you however), grab a bite to eat, check out the 12th Century castle that is home to the Royals and maybe change some Swiss Franc.

Can I just say what a relief to find out an individual who genuinely understands what they are referring to about the internet. You absolutely know how to deliver a difficulty to light and ensure it is crucial. Many more people have to check this out and understand this facet with the story. It really is surprising you're not extra well-known presented which you most certainly have the reward.

General information for school visits
General information | Park Facilities | Guidelines for Teachers | Group Leaders | Health and Safety | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Pre visits A pre visit for group leaders is essential for all activities and your booking will not be secured until you have attended. Our Rangers will help you with the planning of your visit at this time. Coaches, minibuses and cars The car and coach park are well signposted as you come into Royal Victoria Country Park. The coach park is situated in Tall Pines Car Park which is only a few minutes walk from Acorns Education Facility, the Cedar Tea Rooms and toilets. Groups visiting must inform us if they will be bringing a coach at the pre visit. Parking permits are available from the park office upon arrival. The current cost of a coach is £10 per coach. Accidents and First Aid In the event of a minor first aid incident please speak to the ranger in charge on a led session or make your way to the Heritage Visitor Centre. In the event of a more serious incident please contact your nearest member of staff. We have appointed first aiders on site at all times but it is recommended that you bring your own first aiders and first aid kit with you on your visit. Safety Please follow guidelines set by your Local Education Authority or parent organisation with regard to taking groups on trips and carrying out fieldwork. Please ensure supervision ratios are adhered to. All schools/groups must complete their own risk assessment prior to visiting the park. You are responsible for the safety, well being and discipline of your children at all times, including during guided activities. Groups of children must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times. Please be aware that the park is a public place and on hot days is extremely popular and can get very busy. Therefore, please be mindful of traffic (particularly when crossing roads) and the public at all times. Insurance The County Council has its own insurance for any accidents that occur on our site but all groups visiting the site should have their own off site activities insurance to a minimum of £5 million. Lost children Should you lose any children in your care, please let the Park know as soon as possible so we can help organise a search. Either phone the Park or call into our Heritage Visitor Centre. It is advisable to explain to children that if they get separated from the group to have a central meeting place such as the Heritage Visitor Centre which is easy to spot and where our information point and reception is located!. Lost property Please report any items lost or found to the Heritage Visitor Centre. Please note: we only keep items for 1 month. Then, they are donated to Charity. Payment A parked journal or invoice will be raised following the pre visit to discuss your requirements and will be payable within 28 days. Cancellation If you are unable to attend, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can rearrange a date for you. Cancellation charges apply to room hire and catering. Standard terms and conditions apply. Health risks in the countryside We do not wish to scare you: the risks of picking up an infection or disease from the countryside is rare, but we recommend a few simple precautions. Regular hand washing at the end of all activities and before and after eating. We recommend long trousers for children and adults taking part in activities. This will reduce the risk of grazes and picking up ticks, particularly in the woodland. Children who have been carrying out activities in the woodland, should check for ticks at the end of the day. Ticks are small black spider like creature less than 5mm long. Typically, they crawl over the skin before finding a dark place to attach themselves. Some ticks carry a bacterium that causes Lyme Disease, which can affect the skin or more seriously the nervous system; fortunately, it is still a rare disease in the UK. We recommend that children cover up their skin as much as possible, wear a sunhat and sun cream in hot weather and drink plenty of water throughout the day Weils Disease (which is passed on from Rats Urine) can be contracted from bodies of water. Hand washing before eating and drinking is essential to reduce the risk of illness. Please consult NHS Direct for more information. | Hire of Acorns Education Facility This is a multi-functional room which can be hired by schools and groups as an optional extra for a small charge. The daily rate is £30 which is a special subsidised rate for schools/groups. It is a light and airy room a short distance behind the main office building with a small outdoor seating area. The room can be used for meetings but is ideal for school and group activities, and is particularly useful during wet weather where children can eat their lunch. Toilets are outside the building and steps lead into the room. The room is not wheelchair friendly. This room must be booked separately through the Park Office. Standard terms and conditions for room hire apply. For further information, please contact 02380 455157. Heritage Visitor Centre This iconic building is all that is left of Britain's first purpose built and largest military hospital of the day, it now houses the Park's Information Centre, shop and interesting exhibition about the rich heritage of the site. Group leaders should be aware that members of the public will still be allowed into the exhibition area during school visits and therefore any noise should be kept to a minimum. Gift Shop We welcome groups into our shop which offers an extensive range of gifts and souvenirs. It is recommended that if your students would like to visit the shop, they do so in small groups of no more than 5 and let us know in advance. Alternatively, we can provide a goody bag service and made up bags ready for collection on the day of your visit. This service must be booked at your pre visit. Goody bags cost £1 each and contain
Contents subject to availability. Toilets Toilets are located next to the Cedar Tea Rooms and in the Heritage Visitor Centre. There are also separate toilets if you decide to hire Acorns Education Room. Please closely supervise all children in your care when using these facilities. Cedar Tea-rooms The tea rooms are managed by Wise Catering. Children's lunches are available from the Tea-rooms but will need to be pre-booked in advance through Wise Catering, tel 02380 439280. Children however can bring their own packed lunches. Catering can also be ordered through the hire of Acorns Education Facility at time of booking. Terms and conditions apply. Play-Areas The play-areas are owned and managed by the Park and are inspected each day. Children in your care must be supervised at all times within these areas. BBQ Areas There are a number of purpose built BBQ areas for hire by groups around the Park. These areas need to be pre booked in advance. None of these areas are covered areas. Contact us tel 02380 455157. These areas are not to be used by schools for picnics. Picnic Areas There is a designated picnic area where schools/groups can eat their packed lunches near to the Round Car Park. Unfortunately, this is not a covered area. Alternatively, schools can use the main or lower fields for a picnic if not in use for events. Schools are not allowed to eat their food on the patio area outside the tea-rooms. Schools can if they wish enter our waste free lunch competition, please ask for more information at your pre visit. Litter Please put litter within the bins provided. Litter bins are situated within all car park areas. Ice Creams Ice Creams are available from the tea-rooms or kiosk near to the Cedar Tea Rooms which is only open during very busy periods in the summer such as weekends and bank holidays. There is often an ice-cream van present outside the Heritage Visitor Centre during school holidays and weekends where ice-creams can be purchased. Ride the Railway The site has a miniature railway which covers over a mile of park. A ride on the railway at the end of your visit would be a great way to end a visit to the Royal Victoria Country Park. An additional charge will apply and visits must be pre booked with the Railway's Owner Mr. Pete Bowers, tel 02380 456246. Please inform us if you would like to use this facility as time must be planned into your visit | Before your visit

Due to a fair amount of interest for CoD4, I've gone ahead and done the competition and even upgraded it to give away Modern Warfare 3 as well. That thread supercedes this one. http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=151808 ORIGINAL POST: If I get Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 direct from Steam, I get a free copy of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which I can give away in a TPU competition. However, this will cost me £40. For £35, I can get MW3 on disc from Amazon, but it won't have CoD4. Before I splash out extra money, I'd like to know if you guys and girls would be interested in having CoD4, old as it is, so please vote in my poll.
I've never played it so I would love it, but I would fully understand if you wanted to save $5 on something you would just give away. Either way, thanks for entertaining the thought. That is really generous of you.
I would like a copy Qubit as paying £19.99 (currently £9.99) is essentially still far too much for a game that practically the world completed in the year it was released (2007!!) However for a fun and smooth multiplayer experience it is still worth having. (I actually do like the campaign as well hee hee)
MEEE! I'm tired of bbc2 and I have nothing else to play :3 I'll also give you a hug... it'll be more awkward then Voldemort's, but still
Only if it was a physical copy. Since it's Steam, na thanks Qubit when you make polls, is there an option to make it "private" so users can't see who voted for what? I've never made a poll
Yeah, that's a shame, because I only ever do Steam or DRM-free nowadays. I remember our discussion a while back on this point, so fair enough. Polls actually default to private, but I usually like to see who voted for what, so make them public. Just makes it more interesting and fun I think and the polls aren't about anything serious or controversial. If they were, I'd make them private. I'm not sure that even an admin can see who voted in a private poll. Anyway, hurry up and make that poll! Do it on GN if you can't think of anything techy to make a poll about. You could make a poll about making them private or public and make it public, perhaps? ----------------------------- And anyway, it looks like my little competition will be worth doing. It's roughly a 50/50 split so far, but there's still a lot of interest - not bad for a four year old game that many people already have. Thanks for your votes and keep them coming!
It is not my fault that I can't get "legit" games in my country...but with your help I can always have MW since I like the saga and it would be my second genuine game(after Dirt3 which I got with my GFX)since I started gaming....(12 years ago)
Yeah, Albania's a dodgy place indeed. A lot of the spammers for fake pills and so on come from there. But surely, with your Steam account, it neatly sidesteps this problem?
I didn't know about the spammers but u can get a copy of win 7 ULTIMATE here for 4€!!!!!Games are the same...or u can just dl them yourself!!!I really liked Crysis 2 MP so I wanted to buy it(despite graphics,AI etc etc)but I couldn't find a wayso I settled for a couple of time with FEAR Combat and now just A.V.A. + some Dirt 3(not many people online though) I opened my steam account just to try America's Army but didn't liked it much...too slow,I prefer fast paced shooters... Anyway thx for considering
Make a poll about polls! I like it! I thought that if you set the poll to private then you could still see who voted, but the voters can't. Now I see that's not the case.
I bought a CD key of COD4 on Keys4me. for around 13$ US. I had the original Disc just lost my key. Wished I could add it to steam
I was diggin the site u mention Keys4me and gives u the option to pay by bank in an account number they give u..! this would be a life saver for me...anyone tried???
I've bought from http://www.thegamecollection.net/ before, they do Free Delivery in UK, but they also ship to Europe at a flat cost of just £4 (for a game - more for hardware). No, just a bank account AFAIK. May depend on the country you're in though.
I don't want the game, but I voted "yes" becasue I like it when members give stuff to other members out of the kindness of their hearts.
nope. you just need a bank account. :EDIT: though a bank card is handy if you run into problems with 'verifying' your bank account with paypal. I cant transfer money to or from my paypal account but my bank card is tied into paypal so paypal can use my card to pay for stuff when i dont have any funds in my PP account (how stupid is that??) I havent been able to verify my account with paypal since 2005 lol. emailed support to try and fix the issue, but their all c*nts and as useful as a chocolate teapot.
I do too. We've got many good people here on TPU. Not only that give items away, but also that give freely of their time to help others. Of course, asking if someone wants a free game is a little silly. You could offer a dried-up, old turd and someone would take it because it's free.

Comic on CBS 'Early Show': Americans 'All to Blame' for Oil Spill, Being Energy 'Pigs'
Published: 6/7/2010 4:11 PM ET
Those comments were prompted by co-host Harry Smith remarking: "BP would be such a spectacular target for your lampooning." Klein went on to add: "...all that oil that's fouling everything, it probably wouldn't run the automobiles in Texas for one day." Smith chimed in: "An hour." Klein proclaimed: "...it's minuscule, that's how much we use of that stuff. So let's get off it. I mean, and it's coming back to us in bullets, everybody knows this. But Americans have a memory of about 12 seconds."
On CBS's Sunday Morning program, a 'Fast Draw' segment by cartoonists Mitch Butler and Josh Landis similarly scolded Americans for wasting energy. Landis warned: "Our hunger for energy is driving oil companies to drill deeper and more dangerous wells..." Butler remarked: "Thankfully, these days everyone's talking about going green and saving energy. We know to ride bicycles to work instead of driving a car, don't use that air conditioner on a hot summer day. Air travel uses way too much energy. So don't take that vacation." However, Landis lamented: "...most Americans don't make enough of these kinds of sacrifices to save a meaningful amount of energy."
Butler noted: "America is only 5% of the global population but we use about 25% of the world's energy." Landis concluded: "And all that oil that's been pouring into the Gulf, the estimated 40 million gallons that's spilled so far, well, that's about the same amount America consumes in a little over one hour." Maybe Klein and Smith were watching Sunday Morning for their energy facts.
On the Early Show, in addition to bashing Americans for their energy usage, Klein described one of his favorite comedic targets: "...one of my main targets are these hypocritical infidelities, politicians who, you know, pray in the morning in their little residence and shtup everybody else's wife at night, you know." He cited former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer as an example of the fact that "people believe their own PR" during such scandals. Smith remarked: "Be careful of sanctimony."
Klein then seemed to regret using the New York Democrat as an example of hypocrisy: "Well he wasn't - he was just a little depraved for a moment there, I guess." He identified the real hypocritical adulterous politicians, all Republicans: "But, you know, these guys like Craig and Vitter and Governor Sanford..."
Smith concluded the interview by reminding viewers to watch Klein's HBO special: "...we will look forward to seeing your show on HBO, Unfair and Unbalanced, Saturday, June 12th on HBO at 10:00PM Eastern/11 Pacific Time. Really great to see you."
Here is a portion of Smith's June 7 interview with Klein:
