From the Utah Army.

The N. Y. Herald has correspondence
from Leavenworth City, giving The state
ments of two men who left the Utah
army Dec. 4. We take from it the fol-
lowing, which is additional to our tele-
graph advices:
"The troops think they will be able to
winter all the cattle that have reached
Fort Bridger. Only four trains were
left at Fort Laramie instead of twelve.
as previously believed Z; so the army has
with it eleven trains, notwithstanding
the loss of three. This is good news, as
1t shows there is an ample supply ofpro-
visions with the army TO last it during the
winter. The three trains DESTROYED con-
sisted mainly of tents, clothes and camp
/ equlpage. The troops are in want of
nothing but bacon and salt. Four COM
panies have been formed out Of the team
sters, and the army, including them, is
said to be over 2000 strong. The troops
intend to winter at Fort Bridger. The
Mormons have not molested them since
they arrived there.
The army left Hams Fork on the
morning of the 9Th of November, and
marched the Blacks to Forks--a distance
OF about sixteen miles. On that day the
first heavy STOW storm of the season COM
menced. 1t lasted several days, and dur
ing its continuance the Mormons ran of
several hundred head of cattle belonging
to different trains. The troops and part
of the trains arrived ct Fort Bridger on
the 18th of November; only one-third of
the trains were able to get up at a time,
the loss OF cattle was so great. All the
supply trains reached Fort Bridger bv
the 22d of November. Messrs. Rune
and Morehead Che informants of the
writer met twenty-five mules, packed
with salt, 10 miles beyond Fort Lara
ME, which supply must have reached
Fort Bridger before this time.
The army will remain in its present
position during the winter without much.

The Paris Constitutional boldly de-

French Antilles; argues that in no other
manner can prosperity be restored to

Should the Emperor answer the capture
