speetabRty and widow Of Mr.. Sutherland who was
kaIed on the plains with Col. Rabbit had been
driven from her home by threats Of violence, and
Had Red to Mr.. Jsr,s's fog safety. She was 10 the
isuse at the time Of the attack, but succee nd IN
making her escape therefrom; Of tho gang saw
Der when in the street and gave chase. In turning
aeorner che fell in the Keep snow, and feeling en-
trely exhausted did not attempt to r.sc; the man
happily not seeing her passed on, and she sped ID sn'
ether direction, wandering through the streets AL
siybt, covered only with her night clothes pare
Sooted and bareheaded and afraid 10 ask Tor sh''er
the snow beirg at the time over two ieet IN d'PIn
and the mercury below zero. IL is almost need'
hes TO say that Brigham was at the bottom VI tne
affair. and that the Danites committed the deed oy
HE direct orders He bad previously sara III the
Tabernacle that Jarvis should never leave the Tern
ten. or fhe did he should not take one particle OF
property with him.
ON the 10Th of last month the house Of q man was
torn down because he had presumed TO ds0bey or
3ers and refused TO turn away some Gentles VINO
we're boarding with him. Attempts have been made
10 FIRE the dwellings Of r. S. Williams the Attorney,
and Judge Stiles the United States Judge, for the
part they took in the Hockaday TanDery case Both
have been cut of from the Church and denounced
az apostates for daring 10 do their duty ana trying
70 enforce the laws Of the country. 1t WAS the
Anxious wish of the MomOus to destroy the records
ofths ease that induced them to burn the books and
papers of the United States Circuit Court. The
United States officials, Gen. Burr, the Surveyor
General. and Dr. Hart, the Indian Agent, are now
in a very dangerous position. Open threats Of
burning or tearing down their Offices and killing or
maltreatng them are daily made, and in one Of the
southern settlements at Sunday meeting it was
voted 10 raise party 10 come and cut their tbroas.
Unless the Government sends military force here
immediately, it will be impossible for any officers to
remain through the Summer, and it is constantly
sad, in the streets and in the meetings, that all the
Centles must leave in the Spring. AT Social Hall,
few evenings since the speakers, Messrs Wheelock
and Clinton, declared that it the intention and
purpose of the Church TO drive out the Gcntes in
forty days.
The contract for carrying the overland mail has
been bought by Brigham from Hiram Kimball the
original contractor but will be run in Kimball's
aame. So the Government, although it appoints
Gentle Postmaster TO protect the mail from depre-
dations intrusts il to Brghams emssaries to carry
q distance of 1900 miles, on any one mile of which
they can find spot where, completely hid from NOR
tal eye, they destroy and suppress such letters
as they please. The fact Of their opening letters is
TOO well known to dispute, and it is openly avOwed.
The Territorial Marshal, Mr.. Mckay, the Clerk of
the Court, Mr.. Cummings aud the District-Att
ney, Hosea Stout, all members. of the Dante Band
called not long since on the Surveyor-Genersl and
told him that they had copy of letter written by
him to the Department Of the Interior at Washing
BON, and moreover that he could not send letters
from Utah without their first seeing the contents.
An immense quantity Of snow has fallen this Win
Ter promising abundant water the coming Sumner:
a mill was destroyed by an avalanche of snow in
Big Cottonwood Canon, and many roofs have been
crushed by its weight. There has been great deal
Of suffering among the hand-cart recruits, and they
continue TO die daily Not One-half Of those that
left the States are now alive.
