Surveyor General Burr, left in charge of the
ollie at Salt Luke when he for his own &c
ty, left the Territory Of Utah last spring; he
was on the 18th Of September al Placerville

cape from Salt Lake City, he says that while
engaged in conversation with party of en-
igrants he was assaulted by gang of Nor
mons, led on by fellow named Dick Petit,
and ruffian associate, WHO, without cause,
severely beat him with stones and clubs. He
was scarcely able to reach home in eonse-
quencc OF his wounds. The same afternoon
they attacked tie Deputy Surveyor with
stones. Landon was driven from home ut
night, leaving his wife and child ut Salt
Lake City. After adroitly pursuing his
armed pursures, he reached Placerville in u
most distressed condition. He met on the
road the Indian Peter, who used to frequent
the Surveyoa Generals office. Peter Inform
ed him that Brigham Young had sent him
out TO get horses, and carbines. The Indian
spared his life because he had on several oc-
casions given him red paint. Landon had
not long parted from him, before the Indian
shot man with four balls. The man es-
cared though much injured. Another i'm the
Surveyor Genei ais office, Mr.. Wilson, was
also attnckel py the MorfncnS. Iney rough
ly seized him, and tearing him away from
his family, they commanded him to GO along
with the m and make no fuss, or they would
d--m soon show him what they were 60
ing to do. Mr.. Landon's letter give the par
ticulars Of these occurrences. lie concludes
by saying that all the Mormons have left
Placerville and Carson Valley for the pur-
pose Of defending Secon.
