From the 1sarsn0orM Herald, May aol
! Mr.. WDiams and Mr.. MorreIl mr.
rived here on the 18th from Salt
Lake, Left Salt Lake on the 10Th
Of April; grass six weeks later than
ever was known; snow on the noun
tain AVERAGES twenty feet; every thing
quiet on the plains; saw but lew In
dians; met Col Sumner with two
companies United States troops at
Vermilllon, one hundred miles out,
met first emigrant trains twenty
miIes this side Fort Kearny, getting
along very well and generally health, ;
met more or less every day in large
numbers coming from the southwes-
tern part Of Missouri. with large
numbers of stock; estimated that
10000 Wagons and $4,000 cattle
would cross the plains for California.
MIR. Williams life has been threat
lened. 1t Was prophesied by Brig
ham Young and other Mormons that
he would never get away from Salt
Lake alive. A secre: organized
band, ever ready to do the orders of
the Prophet and twelve Apostles,
were threatening his life. He defied
their vengeance. 1t was miracle
that Williams got away.
We learn that Brigham Young has
not left Salt Lake, and the rumor
that he was compelled to fee the
country is untrue.
The half of the outrages of the
Mormons that Mr.. " iliams knows
of cannot be told in the limits aud
space We have.
Several have been murdered and
many robberies had been committed
by the Mormons during the last
winter. The laws and courts of the
United States are repudiated by e
der of Gov. Young, whose will is %
preme 10 that section of our eourry, /
and the authorities of the general |
government treated very inknant-
ly. Judge Stiles court hal been
compelled to adjourn 10 consi uence
OF The mobocratic spiri lmpif'sted
in opposition to it by the devoted
followers of Yong, renderiDait i'm
possible to issue process id Utah
emanaling from the district courts
established there by Congress. The
Mormops claim exclusive iuisdic-
ton, aud Fpudiate the idea tbatlgov-
eminent Jas any authority in that
Territory in any manner whatever.
The Surveyor GeneraIlhad been
tbreat1ed with vioknce several
times and at last forced to leave for
safe's Judge Styles could not ex-
ecu sthe functions Of his office, and
coIduded to visit Washington TO
seswhat could be done.
AIRS. Farnham. of Salt Lake CITY,
I'D been threatened, and compelled
70 leave. and she came on in the com.
oany which arrived yesterday. i
The crime sIledged against her
vas "boarding Gentiles," which was
contrary to the will OF the Governor.
The Mormons express themselves
to resist to death every
attempt of the general government
o establish any authority in Utah.
That ii was their country. and no
,ower on earth should interfere with
hem" They had code oil laws
made by themselves and they should
enforce them, establish and main
lain their own courts in spite OF all
opposition.
