IMPORTANT "KUa0RS" FROM UTAH.-The Nebras.
ka.correspondont ofthe New York Times announces
the arrival in that Territory of divers Mormon de-
serters, who left Salt Lake City early in October
They bring two weeks later intelligence, which, if
true, Is OF high Importance. They say that Brig
ham Young at the bead of large force was prepar-
ing to leave Salt Lake City to give battle to the
United States troops. They further allege that the
mountain pass, at which the Mormons will attempt
to check the progress of the troops is that in
military point of view, will give them overwhelm-
ing advantage that in their rebellion they will re-
celye material aid from the Indians; and that their
ultimate design is to throw off all allegiance to the
Union, and establish themselves independent
government 1t is possible that the story told by
these Mormon deserters may be exaggerated. We
shall: however, soon learn the truth.

Gov. walkers Letter of Resignation.
NEW York. Dec, 10,

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.
Gov. Walkers letter of resignation, ad-
dressed to Secretary Chase, is published this
morning. 1t is very long and agumenta-
tive document; preserving throughout cour-
teous but decided tone. He says that there
was a clear understanding between the Ad-
ministration and himself that the entire Con-
stitutien should be submitted to the people,
and presents testimony to the effect that his
announcements to the people that such should
be the case were sustained by the President
under the circumstances. Then be argues,
inasmuch as he could not 90 back to Kansas
without fresh Instructions committing him to
a new policy, which he had reprobated and
condemned, the only alternative left to him
was to resign. He discusses at great length
the question Of popular sovereignty, esteem
ing that the Constitution Ofthe United States
is not sovereign, for it was created by States,
each exercising for itself that political pow
err called sovereignty, for the same reason the
Government of the United States is not SOW
ereign, nor does it exercise any sovereign
powers.
l shall now be pleased to express to the
President my deep regret as regards our un-
fortunate difference of opinion in relation to
the Lecompton Constitution, and say to him
that infallbility does not belong to man,
however exalted in intellect, purity of inten-
ton or position, yet il he has committed any
errors in this respect, may they be overruled
by experimenting Providence for the per-
petuation of our Union, and the advancement
of the honor and interests of our beloved
country. In now dissolving my official con-
nection with your department. 1 beg leave to,
tender to you my thanks for your constan 8
courtesy and kindness.
