Especial Dispatch to the st. Louis Republican,
Highly Important News End of
the Mormon RebPlIiOn--GOV-
ernOr Cumming in Salt Lake
C~ity--cnters IL without an escort
BooNvILLE, Saturday, May Is.
An express arrived at Fort Leaven-
worth on the 18th inst, from Camp
Scott. The Mormons had laid down
their arms. Governor Cumming, upon
the invitation of Brigham Young. had
entered Great Salt Lake City without
an escort. Many Mormon men had
gone to the southern part of the terri
tory, and the women and children were
preparing to follow them.
A dispatch, dated Lcavenworth, May
IA, states that the news from Utah is
unofficial, but a private letter, received
by Colonel Rich, at the Fort, corrobora-
ties the statement, and it is universally
credited at Leavenworth that Governor
Cumming entered Salt Lake City on the
1st Of April, and the army was in readi-
ness for immediate action in case of
emergency.
The Republican, of Sunday morning,
adds to the above the following, which
also possesses interest just at this time.
Some of our ambitious military men
Who are .'sighing like a furnace to get
Il chance at Brother Brigham, will be ia
ken all aback at what is above and what
follows:
END OF THE MORMON REBELLION
The news which We make public this
morning, of the termination OF the Nor
mon rebellion without bloodshed, will be
hailed with joy all over the country. 1t
has cost Il large sum OF money. and not
Il little suffering on the part of the for
C es at Camp Scott, in preparations TO put
own this rebellion; but it has shown
that the Govern nent is capable Of ex-
tr~aordinary efforts, and OF Furnishing
INSTRUMENTATION, even upon its rcmotest
frontier. The news will, so soon as 1t
is authenticated, put Il stop 10 further
military movement in that direction
Supplies may be needed, and will prob
ably be sent forward, for the suhsis e ice
of the troops now in Utah Territory,
but all other preparations will be sus-
pended, and the troops which have been
concentrated at Fort Leavcnworth and
Jefferson Barracks will again be distri-
buted to their old posts. Vast cxpen-
ditures have been made in getting ready
for the expedition. but the supplies ut
provisions, munitions of war, horses
and animals, will not be lost to the
Government, and Il tremendous draft
upon the treasury will be stopped The
early termination of this expedition will
make a material difference in all Mr.
Secretary Cobb's estimates for the de
mands upon the treasury for ii year tc
come. 1t will make, also, Il very matcri
al difference in the calculations by indl
viduals OF their profits under contracts
with the Government, but they will have
to submit to this disappointment.
We take it as certain, also, that the
President will not avail himself of til,
power given to him to call into serric,
the three regiments of volunteers au.
thorizcd by u law of the present Con.
gress, and here will lie Il saving at once
of 81, 500. 900. These curtailments il
the anticipated demand upon the treas
ury came most opportuncly, and vii
make in the aggregate, a difference in the
years expenditure Of at least $4,000,
900.
We shall be put in possession of the
details of TIE news from Camp Scott OF
the arrival of the j. II. Lucas this NOR
! nruo.
