Lntest from Utah---Peace.

The Sal, Lake City Mail arrived at St. 10.
seph on the 9th inst, for the first time direct,
having left Salt Lake City on the 18th of June
Mr. Clayton, the mail conductor, reports:
The Peace Commissioners, Messrs. Powell
and Mccullough, had arrived safely. Young
and the rest of the MoTmons, with the exeep-
ton of some forty or fifty, had evacuated the
city and gone South to Provo. The city looked
almost completely deserted. Peace had been
agreed upon, but on what terms our informant
was unable to learn.
An officer, writing from General Johnston S
camp on Bear River, June is, says the army
would resume its march the next day.
Gen. Johnston had received an express from
the Peace Commissioners, informing him that
the army would be received peaceably by the
Mormons. The General did not, however, feel
any increased confidence in the peaceful atti-
tude of the Saints, and the army was kept in
readiness to rePel any treaeherous demonstra-
tons
A proclamation had been issued to the peo-
pie by Gen. Johnston, in which he tells them
the army is as ready now to afford them assis-
tanee and protection as it was to oppose them
when in rebellion against the Government 1t
was thought this guarantee would cause many
Mormons 10 evade the despOtism of Young, who
has seduously inculcIted the belief that the
army was particularly hostile to them
The troops were in fine condition ard glad to
be released from inactiou

Justice nj Last.

S. S. BoorH, editor of the Milwaukee Free
Democrat, has been hunted by the U. S. Off
cials under the fugitive slave law as iercely as
though he had been fugitive himself His
crime was doing as he would be done by to a
human being desiring to be free, and for this
he has been fined, imprisoned, his property ex-
ecuted, and his rights outraged, shamelessly
and fercciously. A series Of vexatious suits
were instituted, and his press and other prop
erty was attached to satisfy the judgment of
the United States Court against him for assist
ing the slaves of one Garland to their freedom.
Judge Macarthur, however, has at last released
the property from attachment, very sensibly
taking the position that as the Supreme Court
of Wisconsin has declared the fugitive slave
unconstitutional, a penalty for damages under
that law is not eOllsctable-

D.f,ebtful PICNIC on the Lake.

-Four Lake Cities-Cleyeland, Sandusky, To-
ledo, and Detroit-are to join in pleasant
social union at Put-in-Bay on Friday, the 10th.
The morning of that day the fine steamer
Ocean will leave Cleveland, the Bay City, San
dusky, the SultaAa, Toledo, and the Hay Queen,
Detroit, and will convey select parties Of eH-
eursionists to tie lovely Islands of the western
end Of Lake Erie, and at noon viii rendezvous
in the romantic harbor known as Put-in-Bay,
where the pleasure-seekers will partake of a
Picnic Bands Of music will accompany the
exeursionists, and should the weather prove
favorable, large and fashionable parties may be
anticipated from each of the cities nameI. The
Ocean will leave at I A NJ, and return at 8
P. NJ
The Toledo BLADE in publishing the pro-
gramme in that city, thus speaks of Putin Bay
and its inviting surroundings:
A few hours sail on one of our magnificent
Lake steamers, brings the denizens of the busy
cities on or near the Lake Shore, across the
blue waves of Lake Erie, and past the smaller
islands to this spot, which seems favored by Ma
ture for pleasure and relaxation from business
cares These islands enclose fairy sheet Of
water, almost entirely from the rude winds of
the open lake. Smaller islands more or less re-
mote, dot the surface Of the blue ''waste of wa
tiers" around, and the green shores of the bay,
varied in places by waye-worn cliffs, or lower
and moro ragged frontlets barred by the storms,
in no place striking, yet everywhere pleasant to
the eye, form appropriate borders to the peace
ful scene. From the southern landing, grove
and beautiful green rise gently from the waters
edge. Paths lead into the forest, and that to
the "Cave" is well worn; and the Cave itself is
a well known natural curiosity. Nearthe south
island, and almost connected with it, is a high
rocky island or prOmOnotOry, called Gibralter,
and its cliff paths, It's superb out-looks upon
the Lake, and its open groves, are Of course
sought out, and have been duly appreciated by
thousands Of visitors.

Bridgins the s.. clair river.

The Canadians, in carrying out their Grand
Trunk Railway scheme, find it desirable to
bridge the st. Clair River at Port Huron, and a
bill to enable the Grand Trunk Company to
build such bridge, provided the consent of the
American Government can be obtained, has
passed the Canadian Assembly by vote of yeas
81, nays 6. The bill was so amended that any
other Railroad Company desiring to cross the
st. Clair River at the same point, by complying
with certain conditions, can do So The object
of the bridge is to connect the Grand Trunk
Railway directly with the Western American
Railways, so as to divert trade and travel from
the U. S. side Of the Lakes

affair which occurred in Anderson county on

violence and preserve peace, when the brothers
turned on them and killed two. The MilleEs
were arrested and confined in the Jail at Law
