OEORCETOWS, June u, 1857.
The Injurious effects upon the business portion
OF our city resulting from the suspension of navi-
cation upon the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, seems
to be more seriously felt this than ever be-
fore. Every portion of the town, especially the
business portion, has for several weeks given the
most unmistakable evidence of some serious in.
terruptlon to the avenues of trade. 1t may how
ever, after all, result benefcialy to MANY of our
citizens, by teaching them the all important fact,
that the early construction Of the Metropolitan
Railroad Is actually indispensable to the stability
and prosperity Of the trade Of Georgetown.
We learn that the gentleman for whom several
OF the unimproved lots on Lees Hill was pur.
chased, intends, at an early day, to erect upon
them one or more fine private residences

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS
The Union makes the following summing up
of the condition Of affairs in Utah at the last &C.
counts:
"1. That the Mormon legion is composed of
some five six thousand indifferentIy-armed
men, including few squadrons Of cavalry-about
militia of the States
-. That the Mormons ridicule the idea of the
Federal Government sending an armed force to
the Territory to execute the laws
-. That Brigham Young's commands as the
head of the Church. are omni potent with ali good
MoTmons, and hence the resistance to the United
States laws.
a That the presence Of one thousand United
states troops in the Territory would secure obedi-
ehce TO the laws, and that no resistance would be
MADE Dy the Mormons to so large force.
D. That 1t is undoubtedly true that there is a
serious defectlon among the Mormons, and that
II the disaffected could be protected by United
states authorities they would gladly sever their
connexioH with the church and its head
'6. That Salt Lake City bears the outward evil
dences of Mormon oppression and that business
OF all kinds is literally at stand STILL Many
who desire 10 leave for the States cannot do so
for the want of means.
~. That not more than fifty - Gentiles'' were
in the Territory. and although ID was forbidden
that they should be supplied with the necessaries
of life. they Were enabled to procure provisions
through the cuPidity OF some of the less scrupul-
of the saints.
.'s. That Brigham Young admitted that he
could, by word, have prevented bis followers
from violating the laws of the United States but
that he did not choose TO interfere and would not
interfere
The IntSiiigsncsr gives, this morning, " the
first of series of papers in which it is pro-
posed by the writer, in compliance with what
appears to be the general wish, to embrace that
period of the history of the United States which
elapsed from the first conception of the idea Of
war between this country and Great Britain tc

FROM UTAH TERRITORY ST. Louis Re-
publican announces the arrival in that city Of
eral gentleman who left Salt Lake city the middle
of April, in company with Judge stiles, MI. Will
liams, and others. Only one United States officer
is left in the Territory-an agent for the Indians
residing among them, who thinks they will pro-
tect him against the Mormons should they attack
him.
The situation of affairs In the Territory is rep
resented as very unsatisfactory. The government
officers did not feel safe in the bounds of Salt
Lake city, and made their escape. Their pre-
sence was, indeed, no longer necessary as their
official functions had nearly ceased by reason OF
the acts Of the Utah Territorial Legislature.
That body framed laws creating new courts-a
magistrates court, and court Of probate I'm each
county-and appointed Mormons to perform the
duties. These courts superseded the district
courts of the United States, although the laws
provided for an appeal from the decision of the
former. In most instances, however, the appeal
never was granted; and when Judge Stiles re-
monstrated with Brigham Young against this
course, the governor told him to be quiet: that
they knew what laws suited them better than the
Congress Of the United States, and that they in
tended to abide by them. When Judge Stiles be-
came satisfied Of the uselessness Of attempting to
hold his court he gave 1t up and returned to the
States
Several persons were murdered during the win
ter by agents of the Mormons. They Were what
are called apostates from the church, and design
Ell to make their escape.
