AFFAIRS IN SALT LAKE.

Affairs at Salt Lake continue tn he
the subject of public interest. The
Western papers give the following as
the latest intelligence of Mormon do
ings and Mormon prosperity. The
Council Bluffs Chronotype of the 4th
says: Ht
Attorney General Joseph Holman
and party arrived here on the LIST inst.
with dispatches for Washington. Their
travelling over the plains was mostly
performed at night. They saw no In
dams, but saw their camp fires, and learn
cd that they had made away with a
number of horses belonging to an emf
| grant train, who, with that exception,
they report as getting along very well
so far being then at distance of a
bout 700 miles from this place but
they had yet to encounter the dangers
| of the route, and they may yet have
trouble enough before they reach the
Mormon city. One train of emgrants
they heard nothing of.
Another account says I" We have la :
ter from Utah. The intelligence of the
appointment of Judge Kinney to the
Governorship Of Utah had not been re-
ceived among tho Saints, yet few
friends were satisfied, from letter
written by President Pierce to Colonel
Steptoe, that in the event of the Colonel
declining The appointment, Judge Kim
ney would be appointed Everything
gives evidence of greater scarcity Of
provisions there than before, and the
emigration somewhat larger. A sad
state of affairs exists there. Great
numbers are exceedingly anxious to re-
turn, yet have not, nor cannot get, the
| wherewith to leave--to such an extent
that men, women and children, by thou
sands. would sacrifice anything almost
to leave the valley. Hundreds upon
hundreds OF females would lay down
life to escape the horrors of Mormon
ism, as exemplilied in the valley. The
Mormon army, now numbering about
10000 soldiers, drill often, and Utah is
in an excellent condition to stand long
and hard fight ifnoed be. Tho Ameri-
can flag is not recognized as their flag
lit is independent in dovice and style.
One of the party who has been merchan-
diziDg in Salt Lake for some time, in.
forms us that the people of the States
cannotimagine half the evil, misery, &c.,
which exists among the Mormons.'
