The Sacramento Union publishes some
important Utah Intelligence received from
Thompson, the Carson valley expressman.
His laiest dates are from Carson valley TO
the 18th May, and from Salt Lake TO 25ih
On Saturday, the l6,h May, just before
Mr.. Thompson left the mormon station,
party of ten men arrived there from Great
Sal, Lake City, which place they left on the
25,h of Apri-24 days later than our for
mer advices The party consisted of
Kempton and brother, from Bear river, in
this State; Merkley and Baker, Of Carson
valley; Price, Of Wasnoe valley, and mis-
sionaries on their way to the Sandwich Is

wagons and nineteen American horses, in
fine condition, which he was taking to his
rancho on Bear river. They passed on the
Humboldt, a party with fifteen wagons from
Great Salt Lake, on their way TO Carson
valley, and three droves Of cattle designed
for this State. They intended to move on
in few days.
Kenptou's party was accompanied the
first day as far out as Bear river. by Presi-
dent Brigham Young. On the 26lh of A
pril he left them for the north, intending TO
so by fort Hall TO Salmon river, in Oregon
Territory. His object was TO look odt for a
new station in that country, Whether he
was preparing TO move there himself or not
was not known.
At Great Salt Lake there had been little
or no money during the winter. Wheat
was selling at 81 per bushel, and good cat
tie were selling cheap for cash. Proyis-
ions we're plentiful.
The Sacramento Bee mentions the arrival,
al Pacerville, Of train from Great Salt
Lake, which left there April 26lh. 1t
brings news Of divisions Of the mormons.
A company numbering from l20 to $50
missionaries had left for the States with
handcars. Their object was 10 get prose-
lytes. Fifty or sixty tons Of flour had been
sent on by Brigham Young, TO supply the
mormon stations between Salt Lake and the
Missouri river. Large droves of stock
are on the way to California. Numerous
pack trains are leaving Carson valley for
Placervlle to obtain supplies. Several par
ties in and beyond Carson valley, had been
met endeavoring to turn emigrants by the
Big Tree route.
A company of over one hundred emf
grants is now encamped within two miles
of Plaserville, and they intend starting for
the east across the plains, on Saturday.
The party is made up Of persons from all
parts Of the State.
The San Francisco Bulletin says:
= The news from Utah is important. The
nation built up by the energies engendered
by superstition, ambition, and sell-interest,
is divided against itself. 1t must shortly
fall. All are not saints who are in Utah.
There afs;6 900 "apostates" at Salt Lake,
its principal city. They are prescribed and
persecuHd. They are under the ban OF
the church. Neither their lives nor their
fproperty IRE protected. Their wives and
their Children, and the things that in other
nations. are held sacred, they hold by u ten
ure which is lini'ed by besoited priest
hood. destroying angels" paid and au-
thorized assassins are the ministers Of the
Justice there melted out. All are trans
gressors who venture to doubt the divinity
OF the inspiration which commands a rob-
berry or dictates murder. Force and fear
are the only bands which hold its people
longer together. Emigration is forbidden
He who would fly their accursed rule must
leave behind his wife children. Neither is
his property under his CONTROL nor can he
take it with him. The fruits of his own
industry is liable TO be taken from him. II
he attempts to withhold them his life may
pay the forfeit
The mormpns are finding out that they
are not as other men, and many OF them are
beginning to find out that wherein they diff.
fer therein they are inferior TO their fellows
The spreading of this knowledge and o.
such convictions is causing discomfort. II
proportion as the dissatisfaction become.
more and more extended the power Of thu
priesthood must decline. A public senti
Inent will be formed. and it will be sure &c
be in opposition to the church authorities
The protection of the rights of individuals
against the tyranny Of the elders, by TIT
courts and courts of the central government
will encourage this opposition. Others
owing allegiance TO the church or her Off
GERS, will venture there when insured O
safety. They will form nucleus aroun'
which the DISCONTINUED will rally. Coli
sions will ensue. The interference Of tn
government must become more active
The inhabitants will look to the laws of tn
constitution, and to the courts, for protec
ton, instead of hoping to gain il by slav
ish submission 10 their spiritual guides
Their superstitioDs may survive as reli
gion, but 1t will be divorced from powe
and politics, and its teachings will be pure
and more rational. The people of Uta
will then be fully Americanized.
Be Wise in Time.
