Albany, June l7.-Arch. Hughes
attended here before the Grand Jury,
as an applicant for an Indictment
against the Albany Statesman, for a
libel contained in certain letters, ex-
posing society, which it claims ex-
lists under the name Of Jesus.
After hearing the Archbishop's testi-
mony, the Grand Jury refused to in
dict, on the ground that, if the matter
is libelous against the Archbishop it
should be prosecuted in New York,
where he lives, and not at the expense
Of Albany county. The Archbishop
then offered to bear the expense of the
prosecution, but the bill was refused by
the Grand Jury.
Washington, June 2O.-Col Kane ar
rived here last night, bringing de-
spatches from Governor Cummings,
whom he left at Camp Scott on the
10th Of May. They were delivered to
the President. Their purport has not
officially TRANSFERRED, but it is ascertain
ed that many of the accounts with
which the public mind has been preiu-
diced are erroneous and calculated to
deceive the country in respect to Utah
matters generally. To this fact may
be considered the courteous refusal of
Col. Kane to communicate with the
4 press. 1t IS understood that Col Kane
denies the truth of the telegraph an
nouncement from Boonville, intima-
ting that the army would move on the
arrival Of the Peace Commissioners,
when In fact Gov. Cummings had re-
quested it to remain where it is until
orders shall have been received from
Washington. Contrary to the reports
widely circulated, Col Kane does not
admit that there has been any such
want Of harmony between Gov Cum
T! mings and Gen. johnson as would leo
pard the public interests.
He speaks in eulogistic terms of Gen.
Johnson, and the high state of discipline
in which the latter maintained his for
ces, and ofthe praiseworthy spirit man,
ifested by the army.
The Administration are much pleas
ed with the manner he is understood to
allude to the conduct Of Gov. Cum
mings, saying that he is deserving of
f the gratitude Of his country.
There is great hope in Utah as
elsewhere that the war is at an end.
The peace party have been armed
, sufficiently strong in time to arrest the
march of the Mormon forces against
our own, last spring. 1t was the i'm
preston at Utah, that Brigham Young,
who openly espoused the cause Of the
Z. States, would, in this respect, be
able to maintain his position. There
was, at one time, strong opposition to
him, before emigration was resolved
upon, but ever since, this feeling Of hos
lility has been suhsiding. All the
northern settlements are evacuated
with the exception of a few Mormons
left to guard the public property at
Salt Lake City, and besides these there
are no Mormons for forty miles south
of that city.
i June 22.-The official advices re-
ceived by this arrival from England,
are Of more favorable character shan
has been received towards this coun-
try, and disagow intentional offense
against our flag and mention the fact
that prompt orders have been issued to
discontinue the visits, which have Civ
en- rise to the present difficulties. Her
maJesty's Government does not insist
visitation Or search as a right, but as
both nations are striving to put q stop
to the slave trade, it desires mutual
understanding or arrangement as to
the pfSper and most acceptable man
ner Of ascertaining the character of sus-
pected slavers.
!, The tenor Of the despatch was far
from being unsatisfactory, in fact the
doctrine so long maintained by Our
government is considered as practically
acknowledged by Great Britain. The
difference between the two countries
are not such as cannot be amicably &C
commodated.
It is understood that the cabinet to-
day had under consideration the af-
fairs of Utah, which are so complicated
as to require great caution in their man
agement
From the present indications all the
. troops now on the way will continue
their march to Utah. What addition
al measures will be pursued will de-
pend on the character of the next Off
cial dispatches from that quarter.
New 7 ork, June 19.-The Tribune's
correspondent says dispatches from
England were laid before the Cabinet
yesterday. They DC not in any sub
