Col. JOHNSON REoALLED.-The Alta learns
from reliable source, that just previous to the
sailing of steamer from New York, orders were
forwarded TO COL johnson, in command of the
troops approaching Salt Lake, not to enter the
Salt Lake Valley until further orders. We pre-
snns that this course had been adopted by the
administration, because satisfactory news had
been received of the belligerent opposition
which would be offered by Governor Young,
and knowing that the small force under Col.
johnson would be unable to cope with him, and
that reinforcenents could not reach him until
wiHter had set in, the only prudent course was
to stay proceedings for the present.

British men-of-war were blockading Canton riv-

Reported Conflict between the s1or'n.n' and


A report has been received by way Of Oregon,
that the Mermons had attacked the forces under
Col Johnson, killing $50 Of his men, and fore
ing him to retreat The news, it Ii said, was
sent to Col. Steptos, at Fort Walia Wsls by
express. No particulars are given, and the
report needs conHrmation. If il should prsve
true, however, ne one will be surprised, as It
must be evident to kll that the Mormsns have
been preparing to resist the Federal suthsri-
ties. a
The latest intelligesce received frem Col.
Johnson's command, was TO the effect that Col.
Alexander, who was in command Of theladvance
guard. had left Hams Fork aud started for
Fort Hall, with the intention, probably. Of tax
ing up winter quarters in the vicinity Of that
place, where there 10 an abundance OF erass for
the substance Of stock, and the snow is seldom
deep. The distance from Fort Hall to Fort
Wslla Wal!a 10 less than6ve hundred miles, and
IN express could be sent from one point to the
other in week or ten days. The Indians on
this route are generally friendly towards the
whites, and an express rider could be sent
through with little danger OF being molestsd,
and change Of horses could be procured at
Fort Boise. II the reported couflict really took
place, it must have occurred near Fort Hall !;
snd in sending the intelligence through to the
Pacific coast, Col. johnson would undoubtedly
have sent by way Of Oregon, - being she least
dangerous route. An express started through
for California would in all probability have
been cut off by the Mormons.
Brigham Young has frequently declared from
the pulpit that the troops on the msrch for Utah
should not enter Salt Lake Valley. He told
Capt Van Vliet. who was sent on to confer with
him, the same thing; and added that If fsrce
sufficient to overpower them was seat out next
year, that every house in Utah would be burned
to the ground, every Geld laid waste, and the
country made q desert 1--WE have" saws
Young, "three years provisions on hand. which
NE will cache, and then take to the mountains
and bid defiance to all tho powers of the gov
ernment." There Is no doubt that the Mormons
are fully determined to carry out this threat
Rather than submit to the civil authority of
the country in which they reside they are pre-
pared, at the command Of ene man to Law waste
their homes, and live like wild beasts. We NAV
pity the miserable followers OF the Mormon
dslusion, who thus voluntarily allow themselves
TO become the slaves and dupes of crafty un-
scrufulous imposters, but cost what il may, the
Federal government must assert and maintain
Its supremacy in Utah Territory. II the Mor-
mons cannot live under American laws let them

SAD ACCIDENT AT FOREST Crrr.-The San
Juan Star learns that on Sunday evening, Nov.
2sth, as the workmsn in the Washington Co.'s
claims Forest City. were going on their night
watch, Mr. E D. Ames q ck-hOlder in the
company weot TO the shaft in order to descend
to bis work. but as he stepped into the tub the

Of the shaft. He fell distaacs Of IS feet, and
on being brought to the surface, he 50 far re-

came apparent that be could not survive. Ar
ter about fifteen hours Of mortal agony, he

PLACER DrGaNos VS.. QuARTz.-A suit has
recently been commenced in Placer county,
styled Placer Diggings va. Quartz. The facts
Of the case are, that q placer miner sued the
owner Of qnartz lead for gold taken from rock
lying under and running scross the placer
claim. suit involving precisely the same
principle is now pending in the District Court
OF Nevada county, and will probably be decided
duting the next term. The decisions in these
cases are looked for With much intere.t, as
many similar cases are likly to occur in the
mines. The question win doubtless have TO be
sdjudcated by the Supreme Cours before IL is
definitely settled. In this connection IL ia bro
per to state, that quartz leads can be worked
without interfering with placer claims lying
above them. Placer miners claim the quartz
leads lying under their claims on the old CON-
mon law principle, that mans land extends
to the centre Of the earth.

RECOVERY OF STOLEN PRoPERTY.-A man
named Norton Francis, was arrested in Marys-
Vile on Tuesday of last week, on suspicion of
having committed several burglaries in that
place. lie is supposed 10 be the same person
who committed the burglares in Nevada about
two weeks ago. The watch stolen from Judge
Buckner, pistol belonging to Mr. Sargent, and
portion of the jewelry which had been stolen
from the house of Mr. Allen. were found in his
possession. and the articles brought home by
Messrs Hill and Bren, who had gone to Ma
rysyilIe in search of the burglar. In attempt
ing to escape, Francis was shot by an officer of
Marysville, and badly wounded, but the last ac-
counts state that he is likely to recover. The
Marysvillc Herald gives the following particu-
lars in relation TO the affair:
After he was taken to the Station House, it
was intimated to him that, if he would produce
sundry watches, and other articles OF value
which he was charged with stealing, he might
obtain a release. With apparent pleasure he
seized upon the intimati0n, and proceeded,
in company with u couple of officers, to the
place where he had cached bis stolen treasure.
This was in the sand bank, not far from the
house of Alexander Stewart. A few inches be-
meath the surface. he had secreted a valuable
gold watch, the property of A. A. Vantinc,
which was stolen from his house few nights
since; also another gold watch, belonging to
Stanton Buckner, of Nevada. After digging
up the watches. he delivered them to the officers
and proceeded back with them toward the Sta
ton House. On the corner of ID and First sts.,
he was released by the officers having him in
charge. He Immediately started TO run down
First street; when Captain Co.k. of the Police
who was coming from the Station House. order
ed him to stop or he would fire. Francis con-
tnued running, and Cook fired at him two shots
one of which lodged in his back and came ont
at the breast. He was also wonndcd in the leg
by shots supposed to be from bystanders
