Democrat thus sums up the substance of a
letter received By aslkEzen of that county
from a Mrs. Hude3s6n, written soon after the
arrival of the latter In California:
Mrs. II. gives a thrilling description of the
dangers and hardships attending an overland
trip to California. They were hourly in dan
ger of being attacked by Indians and Nor
mons, who, says Mrs. H., range in bands to-
gether, robbing, pillaging, and numbering
unprotected trains of emigrants.
Mrs. IL. overlook one train from Illinois,
belonging to a Mr.. Holloway, which had been
attacked by a band of ~marauders. His wife
and child had been killed before his eyes, he
himself badly wounded, and stripped of all
his property including fifteen hundred dollars.
MIR. Holloway's sister was along, but during
the excitement of the attack she escaped, and
driving six miles on overlook another compa-
ny who returned with her to the scene of
blood The murderers had completed their
work and were gone.

Mr.. Power passenger by the Northern
/ L9gbt, from California, SAYS he had a CONVEX
sation in Utah with one Of the Mormon SOL
diers, an Englishman. He referred in bitter
terms to the treatment the Mermons had re-
celved in Illinois and Missouri, reflected on
the injustice and tyranny of the people of
the United Staets, and said that the time was
come to get even. He said they were on their
way to meet Gen. Harvey, to see what he
was coming for. eff he was coming peacea-
bly, we will let him come, but if not, we will
drive him back" were the words used. An
ether Mormon, named Killion, an old man
who lives about seven miles from Salt Lake
City, spoke bitterly against the United States,
denounced Judge Drummond and all the fed
eral officers, and rejoiced that the time had
come when the Saints would be revenged on
their enemies-that men were found who
could face the enemy, and that Harvey, with
his ,500men, never wouidr reach Salt Lake city.
He also stated that Governor Brigham Young
had ordered the people to prepare for war
that they should not sell emigrants anything;
that they must lay up provisions that the
men and women must not dress up in store
clothes any more; but that all must be saved
to forward the cause of : church against the
mormon enemy-that the men must be con-
tent with buckskin instead of broadcloth, and
have plenty of guns and ammunition.
On the 18th of August, passed through the
city of Salt Lake. Remained only three or
| four hours. Had a conversation with a mer-
chant-a Gcntile-who stated that on the
: previous Sunday Brigham Young had declar-
ed, in the temple, that henceforth Utah was
; a separate and independent Territory, and
owed no obedience or allegiance to any form
Of laws but those Of their own enactment, and
called upon the people to stand together and
support him in maintaining the cause of God
and the church. Was told that the house of
n Gilbert and Garrison had orders from Brig
ham to pack up and leave before the first of
November.
