A gentleman just arrived in Washington from

and turbulent condition, bordering on rebellion, and
'hence the proclamation of Gov. Cumming, with a
view -to dispersing, the various parties of Mormons
assembled in a military capacity in the mountains
surrounding Salt Lake. These parties, he says, are'
a portion of the militia called out by the Governor
to resist the entrance of the government troops
during the session of the court at Salt Lake City.
-The Mormons are being monthly augmented by the
arrival of foreign converts.
