Details Of Utah News.

The latest intelligence from Utah received
ut Washington is that Brigham Young has
expelled all the Gentiles, and that his sway
is now ef.ctullly undisputed in the terrltcr'.
lie has had time to make all his arrange
ments for the reception of tho United States
government GeniIles, who are to 20 out rs
governor, judges, &c and also the small
army Oi two thousand Gentiles under the
command of Gen Harvey. We have very im-
pUrtlnt intelligence from Utah and the Great
Plains by way of Kansas. \ party which
arrived at I.e yenwOrth on the 9th Of May,
report that they met emigrants in large NUN,
beers coming from the Sou hwestern part Ut
Missouri. with large numbers OF stock, and
estimated that 10000 wagons and 10000
cattle would crOss the Plains for California.
Whether these emigranis were MormonS or
not. does not clearly appear, although 1t IL
probable that large portion OF them are
runaway or expelled saints, on their way to
the golden fields Of California.
IL also appears that the remnant Of the
United States officers attached TO the terrific
~ Of Utah, has reached Leayenworth. This
party reports having met, on the 18th ult +,
$50 wagons with one thousand emIgrant So
ceders from Utah, bound for the United
States, and one THOUSAND more on their way
to California.
Judge Jones, Of the Supreme Court OF
Utah, and surveyor General Jones confirm
the accounts furnished the press by Judge
DrummOnd. and say that IL - worse now in
Salt Lake City than IT was at the time Drum
mond left. Several have been murdered and
many robberirs committed by the Mormons
during last winter. The laws and courts OF
the United States are rcpudiated by order Of
Governor Young, whose will is supreme IN
that section of our country, and the author
lite. of the general government treated very
Indignantly. Judge Styles court had been
compelled 10 adjourn in consequence Of the
mobocnltie followers Of Young, rvndering il
impossible to issue process in y tab eman-
alton from tho district courts established
there Ly acts Of congress. The Mormons
claimed exclusive jurisdiction, and repudia.
ted the idea that government has any au-
thoriiy in that territory in any manner
whatever.
The surveyor general had been threatened
With violence several times. ut last forced to
leave for safety. Judge Styles could not
execute the functions of his Office, and con-
cluded to visit Washington to SEC what could
be done.
Mrs. Farnham, OF Salt Lake City, had
been threatened, and compelled to leave, and
she came on in the company which ar.
rived on the 2gth ult. The crime alleged
against her was .'boarding Gentiles" which
was contrary to the will Of the govern
or.
The Mormons express themselves determ
ined to resist 10 death every attempt OF the
general government to establish any author
ity in Utah. THAT was their country,
AMI no power ON earth shall int riere with
them" They had code Of laws made by
themselves aud they should enforce them,
establish and maintain their own cOurts IN
spite Of all opposition.
Judge Styles and Gen Burr consider IL
absolutely necessary for tie government to
take the most stringent measures Tor the res
torition of claw and order" in that terrific
nv. the inhabitants of which were in open
rebellion against the laws and authorities Of
the United States. and unless something
was done, no one could foretell the evil con
seque ices that would result fuom:: DELAY.
Llic and property was not safe; and injured
parties have no means Of obtaining redre-s :.
Young was governor and supreme DICTATOR
one OF the greatest tSrants that ever existed.
His will Is Law, from which there Is no aP-
peal.
