Important from Utah Territory.

A correspondent of the st. Louis De.
mocrat, who had an interview with Gen.
Burr and Judge Stiles. writes
Their accounts of affairs in that terrific.
ry are very exciting. The Mormons du>
ring the past winter have been perpetua>
ting many outrages upon the Gentiles and
the United States authorities. The gen>
tlemen confirm the accounts furnished the
press by Judge Drummond, and say that
it is worse now in Salt Lake City than it
was at the time Drummond left. Several
have been murdered and many robberies
committed by the Mormons during the
last winter. The laws aud courts OF the
United States are repudiated by order Of
Gov. Young, whose is supreme in that
section OF our country, and the authorities
OF the general government treated yery
Indignantly. Judge Stiles court had
been compelled to adiournin consequence
OF the nobocratic spirit manifested in OPP
position to it by the devoted followers OF
Young, rendering it impossible to issue
a progress in Utah emanating from the
district courts established there By the
act of Congress. The Mormons claimed
exclusive jurisdiction. and repudiated the
idea that government has any authority
in that territory in any manner whatever.
The surveyor general had been threat
ened with violence several times, and al
last forced to leave for SAFETY, Jodoe
Stiles could not execute the functions Of
his office. aud concluded TO visit Wash.
lngton to see what ought to be done.
Mrs. FsTnham, of Salt Lake City. had
been threatened and compelled to leave.
and she came on in the company which
arrived yesterday. The crime alleged
against her was "boarding gentiles" w6ion
was contrary to the will Of the governor.
The Mormons express themselves de-
term!ned to resist to the death every az.
tempt of the general government to es.
tsoilsh any authority in Utah. THAT
Wastheir country. and no power on earth
shall interfere with them
Judge Stiles and Gen. Burr consider It
absolutely necessary for the government
TO take the most stringent measures for
the restoration of claw and ORDER in
that territory, the inhabitants OF which
we're in open rebellion against the laws Of
the United States. foretell the evil that
would result fFcm delay. Life and pro.
perty was not safe, and Injured parties
have no means of Obtaining redress

The Surrender of General walker.

nc 0uAAChueE Oh Ueneral walker.
Gen. Henningsen and Col. Titus, OF
Walkers late army, have arrived in New
York. The following statement was OBJ.
tanned by the Tribune from Gen. Hen.
ningsen
Since the last advices received here
from Gen. Walker, the allies made an at
tack on;the intrenchments at Riyas with
a force Of $500 men. The assault lasted
six hours, and was holly contested
throughout. AS near as could be ascer.
tanned the enemy lost 400 killed and
wounded, including 80 prisoners taken by
Gen. Walker; one cannon belonging to
the allies also fell into the hands of the
6llibusters. Walkers total loss in this
engagement in killed and wounded did
not exceed SO or 60 men.
From this time until the second week
in April, when Gen. Mora arrived and as.
sumed command Of the allies, no offen>
sive operations. to speak of, took place on
either side. On the 18th of that month
the allied forces. led on, it was said, by
deserters from the fllibuster camp, made
a desperate attack on Walkers entreuch.

at one SINE Of the lower plaza. About
$50 had entered that portion Of the town,
when Gen. H. succeeded in. bringing three
guns to bear upon. them, which moved
them down with great slaughter. Half
OF them escaped, and the remainder be-
ing surrounded were obliged to surrender.
After good deal Of hard fighting the
enemy was finally repuIsed. blt not with.
out eontestiug the ground inch By inch.
One hundred and three prisoners remain
ed in the hands Of Gen. Walker after the
Sighting was over.
The hopes Of the fillibusters were great
" sustained by the constant expectation
of relief from Col. Lockridge and party on
the San Juan river. who were daily look
ed for; OF course no correct intelligence
could be obtained respecting his situation
and prospects, as All the avenues Of sp-
proach from that quarter were In The
hands ofths allies. But as day afterday
no news came from the San Juan, the

The whole numb Of Walkers men at
