From Harper’s Weekly, March 22, 1862
The crisis which the war has reached imparts fresh interest to the war-pictures which are appearing in every number of Harper’s Weekly. We have now regular Artist Correspondents, to wit:
Mr. A. R. WAUD, with the army of the Potomac; MR. ALEXANDER SIMPLOT, with Gen. Grant’s Army; MR. HENRY MOSLER, with Gen. Buell’s army; MR. THEO. R. DAVIS, with Gen. Sherman’s army; MR. ANGELO WISER, with Gen. Burnside’s army; besides a large number of occasional and volunteer correspondents in the Army and Navy at various points. These gentlemen will furnish us faithful sketches of every battle which takes place, and every other event of interest, which will be reproduced in our pages in the best style. People who do not see Harper’s Weekly will have but a limited comprehension of the momentous events which are occurring.

THE NEW MORMON COMPLICATION
Brigham Young has been inaugurated as the Governor of the New State of Desert, and Mr. Ashley’s bill for the punishment of polygamy has passed the House of Representatives. Here is a conflict at our doors at once. The Mormons have organized their state government with polygamy as “the corner-stone” just as slavery is the corner-stone of the Confederates.… Brigham’s wants, like his wives, are many.
