ST. LOUIS, August 80, 1854
Summary Of .Ne,cs from Utah-.atairs in
.Netc .nerico and Ladependence-IAe Crops
and State Of the Weather-yNormon MIS-
sionaries--7ne Saints and Indians.
By to-day g mail have received letters from
Utah and New Mexico, and also one from In
dependence, Missouri, summiog up the news
which has arrived here from both places.
Mr.. Booth, the conductor Of the mail from
Santa Fe, states that nothing of an exciting
character had occurred in New Mexico recent
ly. The crops were unusually fine. There is
an abundant yield of corn, wheat grapes and
vegetables. The party encountered no hostli-
ty from the Indians on the route. The COM
mand of Col. Fauntleroy took from the border
what is called the Ration route via Bent's Fort,
and hence were not met by Mr.. Booth. The
train Of Mr.. Major, q trader. was met eight
miles beyond Council Grand. They heard of
several other trains, but did not meet them. All
were getting along very well. Heavy rains
of it there bad been 30 little that the grass was
much parched. A band OF CamADches was en-
counteTed, who behaved themselves remarkably
well. Bnffaloes were plenty.
The party from Utah consisted Of three Nor
mon missionaries, Messrs. Hunt, Snow aud
Spencer; the first destined for England, the &C.
cond for st. Louis and the third for Cincinaa-
H. and several other persons. They left
Salt Lake City on the--10th of July. There
WIS then peace between the Saiat, and
all the bands of the Utah Indians. Go
vernon Young had succeeded in concluding
treaties with them ALL The chiefs are
believed to he sincere, but there are
few wild bands over whom they have little
control, who are thought to be yes somewhat
dangerous. The season has be- n the finest ever
experienced for all kinds of crops, and they
are all superabuDdant The greatest fall of
rain and hail ever known occurred on the It,
of June.
This party estimate the number of cattle
driven from he western border to California
during the present season at one hundred and
fifty thousand. The greater portion of them
were driven via Fort Hall some hundred miles
north of Salt Lake City. Several thousand
borses and mules and about fifty focks of sheep
were also known to be On the route. 1t has
Eldridge and Pratte Mormon traders, lost over
hundred horses by a stampede on the Sodth
Platte river.
About four thousand emigrants to Utah have
left the border during the pr esent season, some
OF them 30 recently that they are in danger Of
being caught by the SHOWS in the mountains.
Preparations are being made at Salt Lake to
eeid out supply trains to meet them.
The emigration to California via the South
PAS is very small.
The Pawnee Indians have been very trouble
some. In one instance thirty Of them attacked
wagon train, in broad day light, killing man
naDod Wood and woundlng Two others before
they were repulsed.
No other news. K.

dida'e Mr.. Wood is openly accused u beng
one of tn sc wings who are in favor Of their
party supp ,rsing Mr.. Morrill, for Governor, and
so giving Mr. Reed the g0by. There are may
such wings in the State, and alongside Of them
she conservatives, who, if they should see III &c
their radical brethren are about to abandon some
Of the party's candidate, would pay tn m back
in very signal manner. The expression in q ".
kent's letter, that he was in favor OF uniting on
Mr. Morrill,, shows how extensive this feeling
must lie. Such man would never have given
expression to such sentiment had he not felt
certain that there were thousands of wings in
whose names he could epeak, though not d.
rectly authorized tn do so. He knows opinion
here in his own party, and would not nave
raid any thing likely to run counter to it. A.
piring a. he does to q seat in the United States
Senate, and looking to the future rather than
having any hopes found d on the result of the
p' eseDt contest. we may feel pretty Confident
that be weighed every sentence that be wrote,
and is willing to stand or fall by the event.
The occurrences at the whig meeting here
on Saturday evening shows that the bad feel
