Correspondence of the Missouri Democrat.
FROM THE MORMON COUNTRY.
Missouri River. Nav 80. 1857

| ! left Leayenworth this afternoon for
Quindaro. Before leaving had very in
teresting interview with Surveyor General
Burr and Judge Stiles, both of whom have
just arrived from Utah. Their accounts of
affairs in that Territory are very exciting.
The Mormons during the past winter have
been perpetrating many outrages upon the
Gentiles and the United States authorities.
Those gentlemen confirm the accounts fur
nished the press by Judge Drummond, and
say that II is worse now in Salt Lake City
than il was at the time Drummond left.
Several have been murdered and many rob
berries committed By the Mormons during
the last winter. The laws and courts Of the
United States are repudiated by order Of
Governor Young, whose will is supreme in
that section Of our country, and the authori-
ties Of the General Government treated
very Indignantly. Judge Stiles's court had
been compelled to adjourn in consequence
OF the mobocratIc spirit manifested in oppo-
stion to it BY the devoted followers Of
Young, rendering it impossible to issue a
process in Utah emanating from the district
courts established there by act of Congress.
The Mormons claimed exclusive jurisdic-
ton, and repndated the idea that Govern
ment has any authority in that Territory in
any manner whatever.
The Surveyor General had been threat
ened with violence several times, and at last
forced 10 leave for safety. Judge Stiles
could not execute the functions Of his Office,
and concluded to visit Washington to see
what could be done. Mrs. Farnham, Of Salt
Lake CITY, had been threatened and com
PEELED 10 leave, and she came on in the
company which arrived yesterday. The
crime alleged against her was boarding
Gentiles." which was contrary to the will Of
the Governor.
The M0rm0ns express themselves deter
mined to resist 10 the death every attempt
Of the General Government to establish
any authority in Utah. That was their
country, and no power on earth shall inter-
fere with them" They had code Of laws
made by themselves and they would enforce
them, establish and maintain their own
courts in spite Of all opposition. This is
illustrating the principle Of "sqpatter sOve-
reignty" with vengeance.
Judge Stiles and Gen. Burr consider it
absolutely necessary for the Government to
take most stringent measures for the restora-
ton Of :" law and order" in that Territory,
the inhabitants Of which were in open re-
bellion against the laws and authorities Of
the United States, and unless something
was done no one could ioretell the evils that
would result from delay. Life and property
were not safe. and injured parties have no
means Of obtaining redress. Young was
Governor and supreme dictator, one Of the
greatest tyrants that ever lived. His will II
law, from which there is no appeal.
