ing his functions and by virtue Ct his power under the
Territorial Organic act. He expressly forolds the
United States troops entering the Territory without his
authority fer doing 60 ard complains that the Nor
me have not been treated American citizens, and
on msreprese ntatons, the object being to drive the
| Mormors from the Territory. TIE language of the
proclamation is emphaticsly in hostility to the au-
thoty of the United States and is regarded here a.
| declaration Of var.
When Col. Alexander was within thirty miles OF
| Fort Bridger, which place is occupied by Mormon
| troops. he received letter from Brigham Young
| through the Commander Of the "Nauvoo Legion,
warning the troops out of the Territory, but saying If
they desire to remain till Spring they may do so, pro
| yided they give up their arms al d ammunlson, out
they must then leave; in the mean time hs will see
that they are furnished with provisions The letter
was accompanied by two copies Of the proclamation
| ard a copy of the laws Of Utah. The Commander
tells Col Alexander that he is at the Fort to carry out
YouDgs Instructions, ard expresses the hope that Col
Altxarders answer and actions will DO dio'aed bya
proper respect for the rights and Liberties OF American
citizefs.
Col. Alexander in his reply dated Oct. 2, says he
has given Youpgs communication his attentive con-
alteration, ard will submit the letter to the Genere
commanding as coon he arrives here meaning
Camp Winfield on Hams Fork. In the mean time
he adds:
Ihave to say that these troops are here by order
of The President of the United States, and their tur-
ther movements will depend entirely upon the orders
Issued by competent authority.
Among the documents is q letter from Col. John
stop dated from the camp on the Three Wings of the
Sweetwater addressed to Adjutant General Med Dwell
New-York in which he confirms the burning Of the
COL ators trains by the Momons. He says that the
Governors eecort is four days march behind him,
with two companies of Dragons. He knows Of no
re, con why Col. Alexander should attempt to reach
Salt Lake by Bear River excepting from the fear ths
the Mormons have burnt the grass on the shorter
route He adds:
"If could communicate with Col Alexander, 1
would direct him to take up good postion for the
Winter at Hams Fork. The road is beet between
this and Hams Fork with companies of Mormons, 30
that it is doubtful if sbal be able to communicate
with COL a."
