Capt. q. Ben Russell. arrived at home
IN this city, on Tuesday last, after an
absense of three months, during which
time he visited Salt Lake city, aud in-
termediate points. He tells US that the
Cheyenne Indian depredations are un.

daring and aggravated character. When
he left Salt Lake. the Mormons had
fortified Fort Brdger, and say they will
defend that fort against the passage OF
United States troops that they will
whip out all the United State troops
that can be sent against them, &C..
which means that they will run the very
hrst time our troops ave brought To a
stand against them. But tho spirit OF
Mormonism is Of decidedly hostile
character. and will require chasrisemen,
before being reduced to subordina,io,
and a decent respect Ia law.
