General Scott was closeted long time day with the
Secretary Of War; The object Of their consult .ton had
reference N late Utah intelligence and what should
done in the premises.
The government has not yet received any confirmation
Of the lac Utah intelligence. There little any
doubt that Governor Canning and the other federal off,
have gone To Salt Lake. judging from ths circum
stances. Col Kane, few days previously had reached
Fort Scott after interview, probably, with Brigham
Young. COL Kane had written instructions but let
ter from the President, In which he expressed his
fdence the discretion and ability of that gsute man,
and recommended him to the friendly consideration Of
thcse to whom the letter might be shown, something
70 this effect 1t Is supposed, for the government has
heard nothing from Col Kane that be had such CONVEX

conference.
Government intends keeping large military force in
Salt Lake Valley, and will make Salt Lake City depot OF
Stores equipments ETC. Even the late Utah intelligence
proves the supply trains will be pushed and
municaton established and maintained between Fort
IeAvenworth and Salt Lake
