The Union understands " that the Governor
ship of Utah Territory has been rendered to
Major Benjamin Mccullough, of Texas, and
that there is every reason to believe that he
will accept the Office 1t would be difficult to
name another person who combines in himself
so many qualities for the successful discharge
of the duties Of this important and delicat ;
trust as are undoubtedly possessed by Major
Mccullough
The Union again refers % to the recent I'M

cHTy, noticing the alleged recent change in the

White Sulphur Springs, says with truth indeed
Although much frequented, the White Sui
phur Springs have always been to the invalid and
pleasure-secker alike, bugbear. They are noto-
riOus for subjecting the traveller to all possible
dlscomforfs and annoyances prevalent at such

era hereafter. A grand reform is needed in the
establishment, both in the efficiency Of the gen
eral management and supervision, and in the
number, capacity and cleanliness of the attend
ants; male and female-at the table and in the
chambers. Guests emphatically need the protec-
ton OF the proprietors, and should no longer be
turned loose there upon the cold charity Of inso-
lent officials. and II prey to mental pillage and
extortion. The system of ''private dishes,n as
practised at the public table Of these Springs is

in short time the entire building was in
