| The MoRMoNs news from Utah reach.
es us by way of California. An improbable ru-
NOR of the defeat Of the g. States troops by the
Mormons had reached Carson Valley. A letter
from that locality, dated Sept 10, gives the re-
port as follows: ~
"Within the last week or ten days, there has
been great stir among the Mormons in this
place and vicinity. Rumor has it that orders
from Salt Lake, at the instance of Brigham
Young, have been received, for aid in the ap-
preaching troubles at Salt Lake. True it is
that the Latter-Day Saints are almost unani-
tmously disposing of their property at sacrifice,
and will be ready to move in two weeks. 1t is
supposed that about four hundred men with
their families will answer the call. Guns, pis-
tolls and ammunition are selling at premium.
ut is reported here thar Gen. Harvey, with
$500 troops was met and driven back by the
Mormons, with loss of 600 men. The news
is said to have reached here by special express,
direct from Salt Lake within a day or two pas"
The San Francisco Herald utterly dscredits
this intelligence. 1t says: ~
Leaving ont Of consideration the almost inn
possibility for Harvey troops to have reached
O point where such conflict could have taken
place, the General is soldier too well tried and
experienced to suffer himself to be drawn into
an ambuscade, or to be betrayed; for under no
other circumstances could such result as re-
ported have taken place However these start
ling rumors haze the effect OF drawing attention
to the present and future state of affairs in T.
