p NJ. after an absence of nearly four weeks, Gov.
Young and suite returned in good health and spirits
having gone as far south ss Harmony our most
southern settlement, and about 800 miles south of

This trip was highly opp0rune, as our red neigh

come into the valleys and were yet Undecided
the course they would pursue. Their summer haunts
beng within easy proximity TO our settlements, the
Superintendent was enabled to hold talks with the
great majority of the Indians concerned IN the DIFF
fculiies Of the past year. among the most noted of
whom were Walker the Master Chief OF the Utahs,
Gioepene and WGshear, who joined his party at
Chicken Greek. All the talks were favorable to
eood peace, aud the Indians were much pleased and
eraiif.d with the presents of beef cattle, blankets
sbirts, tobacco &C., which enabled them 20 contrast
sto giy their pr sent friendly and favorable position
and prospt cts with e doubt and wretch ednes of the
past winter. All tie natives met with, even 90 the
distant Paedes reOiced exceedingly at the visit. and
were highly pleased with the words aud counsel of the
Big Cap,an of the whites who settled in Utah.
The southern settlements reported To be full OF
industry energy and enterprise IN farming building
and various other useful aons, and re lcing IN
the a;t OF prosperity, in peace general health and
