FURTHER FROM CARSON VALEY.-Col.
WIN. Rodgers furnishes the Stale Journal
some additional facts in relation to the
movements Of thr Mormons and the condi-
tion of the inhabitants Of Carson Valley.
1t is his opinion that the Mormons intend
to remove to the neighborhood Of Vancou-
vets Island. They had become wearied
by the many annoyances to which they have
been subjected in their late quarters, and
readily answered the call from Brigham
Young, or those in authority, intimating a
removal to another field of operations. =.
They paid up the last dollar Of indebted
ness, and left with the good wishes of all.
During last summer the entire fraternity
submitted to new baptism, and it is prob.
able that the order for removal was known
to the head men at that time. They carri-
ed with them immense amounts of powder
and other ammunition, and before their de-
parture had purchased nearly all the reYol-
vers in the Valley. Some members of the
train are in possession Of as high as six Of
these weapons.
A mandatory has been In operation at
Salt Lake for the past seven mouths, turn
ing out two hundred revolvers per week.
Tuey have excellent workmeu and abundant
material In case they should desire to
enter into conflict with the troops, they
are well furnished with the means, and it is
thought that the Indians will unite forces
with them.
The difficulties with the Indians have
been increasing for the past several weeks,
until now it is absolutely necessary that
stringent means should be applied for the
protection Of the inhabitants. The troub-
les arose about the time Of the murder Of
Williams and Mcfarland, and since then
have been steadily increasing. The main
difficulty seems to be with the WashO tribe
On the evening bef6re the murder Of
these men, the cabin Of Col. Rogers was
robbed, and some one Of the employees at
the mine kicked the suspected Indians out
Of the camp. They were very impudent,
and the murder followed. The search made
by parties has already been published, and
it has been related that sufficient has been
discovered to fix the act upon a certain
body of the Washo tribe. About one week
after the murder, three Indians came into
Genoa, exactly answering the description
given Of those who had robbed Rogers
cabin. He saw them, and approaching,
entered into O conversation. One Of them
had gun, and another wore shirt recog-
nized by Rogers us bis own Que Of the
workmen happened to be in Genoa on the
day, and he recognized the three as among
! those who visited the cabin. Col. Rogers
took the gun and placed bis finger in the
and they attempted to break away. One
of the bystanders raised bis pistol and they
dared not attempt to escape. Col. Rogers
persuaded the man to put up bis revolver,
at the same time telling the Indians that he
wanted nothing except the names OF the
murderers and robbers. They refused to
answer, and watching their opportunity
1 made another attempt and succeeded il
breaking loose. Col Rogers Immediately
drew bis revolver and commenced firing
succeeded in wounding one of them in two
places. This was a relative Of Capt Jim
who resides at Indian Diggings, and is sus
pected to be one Of the murderous gang
