God that they would have an apostle with them to help bear their burdens [referring to Franklin D. Richards, who was intending to stay in Cedar City]. When, on seeing their spirit manifested and the desire to throw all responsibility off from themselves onto someone else and not to obey the orders, I said immediately they could not have him and ordered him to be ready to march with me in one hour, teUing them I would not risk the life of any good men with them or with any people who would not obey those orders of the Governor. I then spoke of men obtaining and holding influence by their works, etc. When I sat down, Major Canuthers presented his resignation which I accepted, and, after giving them some strong advice requiring them to obey the Governor's orders and to see them carried out, I dissolved the Council and later started for Parowan, takmg Chaplain Richards along with me. It appears that the "grave thanking of God" for Apostle Richards was intended as a direct insult to Apostle Smith, and perhaps even to the Prophet Brigham Young, to which insult Smith immediately responded with some strong advice. Smith's August 15 journal entry indicates that the people of Cedar City finally acquiesced, but only after the arrest of several citizens. George A. Smith apparently came to Cedar City on August 5, with an exploration company under Lt. Colonel William H. Kimball.

The people here are very backward in military affairs. Lt. Colonel James A. Little is very strict and puts the delinquents on extra duty. Colonels Smith, Kimball and Little selected a site for a fort.I5
