PEACE IN UTAH.

the cancerous ulcer of fnatica RIGHTEOUSNESS has
| been subjected to the knife and actual cautery
The experiment has proved perfectly successful.
/ The disease is cured. The country will hail with
intense satisfaction the news Of the Mormon sub
mission to the laws and officers Of the United
| States
/ SO LONG as the forces sent to Utah were made
Guate to ovcrawe the Mormons, they did not scru-
pie to commit any act Of rebellion and war. In
! deed, by a unanimous vote of their Legislature,
| these dcludcd people adopted an address to Con-
grcss so reasonable and disrcspcctful, that it
treated with the greatest indignity by that body.
! Whilst General JohnsOn's little command seemed
! to be beyond the reach of succor support, no.
/ thing but vengeance was breathed from the taber-
naclc of the Mormon Prophet; but sooner had
/ the ample preparations been made to march a
| crushing and overwhelming force to the City Of
/ the Saints. than a change obvious in the de-
mcanor Of the Mormons Day by day their reso-
lutons grew fainter and fainter, until the banners
Of our advancing columns had scarcely been fairly
unfurled to the winds Of the prairies, before Brig
! ham Young and his dupcs fairly 'cut and run"
The sixty thousand saints snugly ensconced in the
centre Of inaccessible mountains, and almost
rackless desert with their thousand disciplined
troops have sUccumbed to the majesty Of the law,
backed by the army, and enforced by the firm
resolution OF the President. The wisdom Of this
policy is fully yindicatcd and the thorough prepa
ration 1Of enforcing SUBMISSION pIONCu Il LiOSt

| Gov. Cumming, in his letter to the Secretary of
State, gives graphic and highly interesting de-
scrption Of his journey, saying that at every point
he was recognized as the Governor Of Utah, and
received with military Salutes; and the illumina-
tons in honor CT him, as he passed through the
canons, described as being sublime and mag
nilicent in the highest degree.
Having entered upon his Executive duties, and

lie notice to be given Of his readiness to relieve
those who deemed themselves ag"rieved, by being
Illegally restrained from their liberty, and to as
sumo the protection Of all such persons. lie kept
| his Office open ut all hours Of the day and night,
and registered 90 men, 33 women, and I minors
as DESTROYS Of his protection, and evincing wish
to proceed to the United States. 4 large majority
Of these people are of English birth, and have
promises of assistance to leave the Territory.
Gov. Cummings says that he shall never forget
his presence at the Tabernacle. Between three
and four thousand persons were there assembled
! for the purpose Of public worship. There was the
most profound silence when he appeared. Gov.
Cummings having been introduced by President
Young Governor, addressed the audience stat
ing that he had been appointed as Governor for
the purpose Of executing the laws OF the United
States in the Territory, stating that all should be
protected in their rights, and fully explaining what
| he intended to do in the promises To his tenn
perate but firm address, the Iormons listened re-
| spcctfully. He invited response, when several
persons spoke They alluded to the murder Of Joe
Smith at NauvOO, Illinois, spoke Of the important
services rendered by the Mormon battalion dur
| ing the Mexican war, and vchcmcGtly rccitcd the
general and ott-rcpeated catalogue Of their wrongs
During these proceedings the congregation became
exceedingly turbulcat but appeal from Brig
ham Young soon had the effect of producing calm
ness and order.
Brigham Young, Elder Kiball, and most of the
influential men had left their conmodous man
sions, and had joined the emierants. The masses

should attempt to cross the mountains
al the armed parties Of the Mormons had not
come into Salt Lake City when Governor Cum
mings wrote; and from the context Of the dispatch,
it appears that were they so disposed they might
cause much difficulty and disaster in the mountain
eorecs, acting as gucrllas Governor Cummings
endcayoring to rally the scattering population.
Gov Cummings says that he will restrain all
military operations for the present and viii wait
for further instructions from the Government
LATER FROM UTAH
The following gives different phase of things in
Utah, and may yet have trouble
WASHINGTON, June 14-ticncral Scott is in
receipt of dispatches from General Johnston,
gated Namp Scott ana i've days later than those
from Governor Cumming, though by the same
express.
General Johnston arrives at conclusions directly
opposite to those Ex-Governor Cumming, touching
the intention Of the Normons, who, he says, arc
now arming and fortifying at every point.
The Administration is now fearful that Gov
Cumming has been deceived, The next dispatches
will be looked for with intense interest
Many gentlemen convcrsant with Utah affairs
ing peace. Private accounts from Salt Lake re-
present Gov. Cumming as almost d prisoner, and
the Mormon leaders as exercising full sway over
the minds of the people.
