From The Leorsftso,h Times. Noe -.
We have late intelligence from the troops en- route
for SAT- Lake City. Col. Hoffman arrived at Fort
Lesyenworth on Tuesday, bringing dispatches from
the Utah expedition. Col. Johnstons command was
at the South Pass and all the stores, amounting to Gil
months provisions were under strong escort.
The Colonel did not doubt his ability to enter salt
Lake Valley before the setting in OF Winter.
This intelligence is Of gratifying nature, inasmuct
ss it was greatly feared by many that owing to his IN
significant numbers Col Johnsom had been cut on BY
the Idians. We presume that other bodies of troops
will be promptly forwarded in The Spring to second The
Colonel or else that he and his command viii be RI.
called There is a vast deal Of humbug about these
yarllke demonstrations against the Mormons. They
are made for poli.ics effect, and about the only
capital leis the sham Democracy.
