The UTAH ExPEDIrIoN.-Rumorso of the des-
truction of portion of the Utah expedition
are afioat. letter vas received at Washing
ton on the 18th inst. by Gen. Cass from tho
Chief Justice of Utah, who accompanies tho
expedition, dated October l3. 1t states that
two trains, with seyenty-eight wagons, were
assailed by the Mormons, at night, on the 9Th
October. in a narrow pass near Sweet Water,
about $50 miles from Fort Larimie, and COM
pletely destroyed. No lives were lost Col
Smith, with force of forty men, was near by,
but was not attacked. These trains appear to
have been comparatively Engnaried, and to
have been scattered along the route, not ex-
pecting surprise. They therefore fell an
easy prey to their assaiants. Col. Alexan-
der 5 party was in advance and had at last ac-
counts passed beyond Green River. 1t is
thought that he may be saved if he haye the
courage to retreat, but as TO do that would in
yolve disregard of his orders TO advance j.
seems doubtful whether the responsibility of
disobeying them will be assumed Serious ap-
prchenSions OF his tate entertained. Mis-
givings are felt concerning the safety of hes-
w suffers train with a half million dollars
worth of supplies, which was behind that des-
tr"yed. If the heavy SHOWS should have turn
ed 1t ont OF the -oute taken 10y the other train
1t is not improbable that il escaped sharing its
fate. Otherwise its situation is very preca-
rioUs.

that no man shall have an Office, there, who
does not believe in the Declaration of Inde-

HARD MONEY CURRESCY.-The Democratic
party has for many years advocated hard
money currency. That party is now in power,
and We want them to go to work and establish
such currency. If there is, as they contend.

ply the wants of the business community. let
them carry their policy into effect. Let US
