WAR IN PRosPEoT.-Late intelligence from
Salt Lake City represents n war as about to
break out between Walker, the head Of the BAN
ditti who have been allowed to run at large in
Utah and the neighborihg Mexican territory, and
the Mormons The Utah robber has sworn, it
is stated, that the war shall be one Of extermin-
ton, and as he has enlisted the Camanchcs and
Apaches in his cause, a bloody struggle may be
expected An endeavor was made by the Nor.
mons to negotiate treaty with him, but his de-
mands were of such character that they would
not comply with them. He required that they
should build him house like Gov. Young's, on
a prominence near the city, pay him large sum
of money, and furnish him with as many wives
as their veritable Governor has. So far as the
house and money were concerned. the Mormons
were willing to comply, but furnishing the wives
was another matter, and here the negotiations
ceased The difficulty will be very likely to in
terfere with the land travel to the Pacific, for
emigrants will hardly care to encounter the hos
tiities of fierce Indian tribes in addition to the
usual hazards Of the route

Who is PRESIDENT WALKER OF SONORA 3.
William Walker is native of Tennessee, born
at Nashville we believe, where his father still
lives, secretary of an insurance company there.
His father we think, is Scotchman by birth,
although long resident in the United States.
The Scotch features are strongly marked in
his son, who is of light complexion, high cheek;
bones, light blue eyes, face much freckled, but
with an air of unmistakable energy, with which,
his whole character corresponds. He was orig
inally intended for the medical profession, and
studied in Paris.
Mr.. Walker is young man yet though he has
passed through many vcissitudes. He is Of
small size and slight frame, but erect vigorous,
used to athletic exercises, approaching to RASH
ness, and an infcxibity of will in the prosecu-
ton of his purpose which nothing external can
shake. He is Of the best stuff out of which,
revolutionizng bodies are made

The y. d. y. RAILRoAD.-The Shiawassee
Democrat gives the following evidences of the
progress of the work on the Oakland & Ottawa

The choppng and grubbing in Shiawassee
county is nearly done. From Owosso to the
west line of this county it is completed From
the east line of the county 10 the Shiawassee
river the chopping and grubbing is done and the
logging and clearing nearly DONE From the
Shawassee river to Owosso, a distance of eight
miles, the chopping and grubbing would have
been done ere this, had the line been settled
1t is now settled, or it will be very soon, when
men will be placed upon it, to chop and grub
that section also. The contract for grading from
here west is also being vigorously fulfilled by
Mr.. Quackenbush, the contractor. He has
about one mile already graded from Owosso
west and ready for the superstructure, and will
push his work from Owosso east to this place,
as soon as the line is established. Taking all
things into consideration have we not reason
to take courage at the Frightening prospect be-
fore us.
The Ionia Gazette says:
We notice that force Of hands have CON-
menced work, in good earnest on the Oakland
e. Ottawa Railroad, Immediately east and west
of this village The work now being done con-
sists principally of chopping, clearing and grub

thorized to state that they will be set to work

Reducing the -four to wheat after the ordina-

Nearly 100000 bushels are already on board
vessels, ready to leave at the earliest moment
when there is any prospect of passing the Straits
In looking at the figures Of wheat and -four, and
comparing them with The quantity here at the
same period of some previous years, it mus. be
borne in mind, that since the close of navigation
until within n few days, the entire available
freighting facilities Of two railroads, the Michi-
gan Central and Michigan Southern, have been
employed in taking grain east. Wheat has form
ed the principal export, but Oats have been ship
ped in large quantities, while the amount of Bar
ley going out thus has been considerable. We
are not able 10 present at this moment the
amount which has thus passed thro' the hands
Of dealers here, but think it safe to conclude
that the wheat going forward by railroad great
ly exceeds that retained here. This fact will
explain why so mush less wheat is to be found
here now at the opening of navigation than for
merly. The advantages of this railroad con-
necton with the east is now, pecuniarily, well
appreciated by those who were thus enabled
to send forward grain upon full and buoyant
market.
From statement from the Sentinel, published
in yesterdays Press, it appears there is nearly
as much grain in store at Milwaukee as at this
place. They have nearly twice as much wheat,
and over three times as much -four as we have,
but their entire receipts of the winter are retain
ed. There will be enough for vessels to do for
some time after the opening, but freights will
not be as light if holders of grain were eager 10
get it to an active and rising market
