From Washington.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16A-It is under
stood that the Nicaraguan treaty was signed
today between General Cass and Minister
lrisarri, Telativet to the Transit Route. The
treaty designates no company by name, ,,but
provides for the rights of that company
recognized by Nicaragua, as amended last
July, meaning Joseph L. Whites grant
The port of entry at each end is to be free
to all the world. In case Of the inability oR,,
Nicaragua t' preserve the integrity of the
compact, the United States is to place u,
sufficient military force at the Isthnus to
protect 1T against foreign and domestic IN
vasion. This treaty is looked upon here as
entirely hostile to Walkers enterprise.
WAsHINGToN, Nov Is, 1957-The State
Department is just in receipt of some start
ling dispatches from the West. The Nor
mons have actually raised the arm of rebel
lion, and we are now in a state of war with
them. The dispatches are from Judge
EcboI, lately appointed Chief Justice of
Utah-and dated "At Camp on Sweet Riv
er 2l miles east of South Pass, October
| ID, 1857" Judge Echol says:
An express has Just arrived from Green
River, aud reports that on the night of the
9th instant, trein of twenty wagons
was captured by the Mormons: aud at tho
same time, two other trains were taken near
Green River-in all, seventy. eight wagons,
loaded with supplies. The Mormons burn
ed the wagons and loading. They said
they had seven hundred men with them,
and fifteen hundred more at Salt Lake city.
Col. Alexander is encamped on Hams Folk
thirty miles in advance of the front train
destroyed. He sent Captain Marcy with
four hundred men back to Green River, 10
enable the teamsters 10 collect their
cattle They killed no one, for the reason
that no resistance was made.
"Col. Smith will collect the trains onthis
side. and escort them forward. There is
one train before us, and two behind. We
are in good spirits, and that is great help
to all. The Mormons will likely attack us
in day CIR two, and may rue their impru-
dence. We have forty-seveu men in this
command, but Col. Smith is host ofGsSS.-
elf. We have determined it attacEsd to
use the rife in the lines We shall most
likely take the route on Bear River for Salt
Lake City. The want Of a forage for our
mules is the greatest hindrance, but we will
go forward it we have to walk aud carry our
provisions"

which being given him, hesaid, They had
one end of the rope around his neck and
the other over a limb, but as :here was
God in heaven and n he'll below, he was in
nocent of the charge against him. Some
one then cried out, Hang him up; he is de-
ternMned to lie with u lie N his mouth
A motion was made TO swiEg him up, when
he cried out to bold on and he would con.
Tess and tell the whole truth. "A little time

around the neck of the bottle to peg

to be their sole protection against the

of the American people, that they should
