TIE UTAH ExpEDITION-DispGtches from Colonel
Johnston Dispatches have been received at the
War Department from Col. Johnston of the Utah
expedition, dated Camp Scott, Black Fork, at Green
river, on the 18th of December. lie says:
have the honor to report that two additional
companies of volunteers have been mustered into
the service of the U. 5. for nine months, making
in all battalion of four companies of men, NUM-
beriug in the aggregate three hundred and twenty,
A term Of six months would be without utility as
in that case the men would be entitled to their
discharge in the midst of active operations. A
term of twelve months was Objectionable, as il
would bring the period of discharge at so late a
as to make it impracticable for the men to
return to their homes. These men are needed inn
mediatey, to aid in protecting the supplies for the
army, and the exigency did not allow time for ask
ing authority for their employment.
Col Johnston requests that Col Hoffman, who
Is in command at Fort Laramie, but who was or
dered to Fort Leayenworth ON general court-mar-
tial, may be relieved from that duty, and repair
Immediately to Fort Laramie to put In progress
the execution of orders for bringing forward sup
plies for the army of Utah.
The troops are very comfortable and in good
health in their winter quarters.
Information is also transmitted through the
Subsistence Bureau, that an abundant supply OF
fat beef has been supplied 10 the army at Fort
miles north of Salt Lake, and from whence il is
supposed large quantities can be furnished in the
spring, should it be needed in the army.

THREATENING TO KILL.-Augustus vii


kinson again appeared before the Mayor, yester-
day morning, to answer the charge OF threate ming
TO kill Thomas Il. Ballard, on Tuesday night last
The circumstances which led to the difficulty as
far as could gather them from the evidence,
these: Wilkinson had been stopping at the
Exchange Hotel for few weeks, witbeu. paying
his board aud as his bill had been presented once
or twice and not settled, on Monday evening last
Mr. Ballard wrote him the following note:
"Mr Ballard expects Dir. Wilkinson to call at
the office in the morning and settle his bill"
ON Tuesday morning Mr.. ". answered the note
10 a very insulting manner, calling Mr.. B. Shy
lock, and after admitting that he was very hard
up, promised to ehda avor to raise means that day
Mr.. b. had Mr. W.s baggage removed from his
room to the Office, as security for the bill. That
night, with stick in his hand, Mr.. W. called to
see Mr.. r., but not finding him in the clerks Of
flee, waited until he came in. W. then approached
b., and said TO him, Il want 10 tell yon what
think Of you" b. on remembering the insulting
note, instantly knocked W. down, jumped upon
him and began to beat him, when bystanders in
terfered and separated them w again abused B
until he was taken cut OF the hotel by his friends
Smarting under the punishment he had received,
W. again returned to the hotel, and addressing
Mr.. Hopkins, one of the clerks, made threats
against b. SupposiDg that W. was armed. aud
learning from Mr.. Mcpherson that he had seen W
have pistol Just before W. came into the hotel.
Mr.. Hopkins applied to Judge Thompson for war
rant and had W. arrested. Mr., Barnes testified
that he was with W at the Exchange door, aud
that he saw no pistol. lie also stated that W. 40
sured him he Ind no weapons-not even a pen
knife. Other witnesses supposed that w. was arm
ed when he returned to the hotel, though none of
came to that coHclusion from the fact that W. had
returned nto the hotel after being BEATEN al II to
get satisfaction; and from the further fact that be
is a very small man--far too small TO encounter
person Of Mr.. B.'s size with his fists.

Sus,N DENIM IN BUFPAIo--AN ApNIRER CowHipED.
The city of Buffalo was thrown into quite an
excitement on Saturday last, by an exploit of the
husband Of Susan Denim, Mr. Huntington. 1t aIr
pears that a citizen of that place, whose name IL
given rs Charles W. Watson, became enamored of
Miss DENNIS charms, and addressed her an amo-
rous cpistlc, requeatng the privilege Of spending
an evening with her privately. The note fell into
the hands of Mr.. Huntington, who, feeling sirtu
ousy indignant, enswerrd it in bis wifes narae
pretending TO accce TO his wishes, and an appoint
ment was subsequently made. Miss Denim, by
Huntington's directions, met her new acfiaint-
anceon Saturday, and started with him in bregy
to the place he had selected for their private in-
terview. They were followed By Huntington and
his friends, aud whnn they aligbted from the bug
gy. Susan handed her acquaintance over TO her
husband Mr. Huntington thcn struck the inuiFisl-
nal repeated blows the head and shoulders
with shir. when they closed and fell and rose
again. and then went down again, when the as
sailed broke away from Huntington and ran OF.
leaving his horse and buggy and sword cane,
which Huntington has 10 his possession. Thus
ended an affair which is alike disgracefui to all
parties concerned.

RATHER A SALTY LAKg.-There is lake 200 miles
long, between Corpus Christi and Brazos Santiago,
salt that skiff cannot proceed but about forty
miles from the latter place, because of large solid
fed cakes extending clear across the passage--so
says writer in the Plaquemine (La.) Sentinel, who
has visited it. The writer adds, on the side of
the main land, crystaiized salt is to be piled
up in blocks, one upon another, and shining in
the sun like glaciers.

TIE LATE ARREST FoR MAIL RoBBERY.-F Farther
PdrticulGrs.-John Miller, the baggage master on
the Hartford and Providence Railroad, who was
arr sted Saturday last, charged with robbing the
mails, arraigued before the United States
Commissioner at Hartford, Conn, Monday and
plead "not guilty" although it is alleged he made
a confession when he arrested. lie is only u
years of age, and manifests the deepest distress
at his situation. The Hartford Press says:
1t appears that theving operations upon the
mail bags on the route between Wiimantic and
this city have been carried for nearly month
past, and letters known TO have been mailed for
the Hartford Office have not been received Mr..
Hamersley, of the Hartford Office, has been watch
ing the case and quietly tracing the matter out for
some time past, the systematic arrangement of his
office being such that the slightest irregularity in
the mailing reception of letters can be easily
detected. On Thursday last he arranged a decoy
letter containing a marked 81 bill, which was
taken by Mr.. IIolbrook, the shrewd detective of
the Postoffce Department, and put into the Hart
ford bag at Willimantic. The bag was then lock
ed again, and the arrival of the train at Hart
ford it found that the letter, with others, had
been abstracted from the bag. Mr.. Holbrook hav-
ing previously carefully examined and noted the
contents of the mail at Wlliamantc. This, in
connection with certain other circumstances, SER
we'd to fix the Jcaity Of the bberes on the trains
between Wiiimantic and this city, and the saga
city of Mr.. H0broOk was not long in settling up
which aided in fixing the suspicion was this
1t was observed that the depredations upon the
mails at time totally ceased for the period Of
one week, when they recommended and this ees-
ation and recommencement corresponded pre-
cisely with the absence on "A visit, and subsequent
return, of the baggage master on the train be-
tween Providence and Hartford. On the first
night of his return to his business as baggage
master on the mail train the robbeTies recommen-
ced This fact definitely fastened suspicion upon
Miller, and upon The arrival at the Asylum street
depot of the Providence train Saturday even
ing, Mr.. Holbrook and Mr.. lEamerseys were on
hand, and invited Miller to walk mp stairs. There
Mr. Hobrook asked him where the packages of
letters were which he had taken from the mail?-
Miller denied having taken them, but fDdiug that
he was fairly caught, he yielded, and the letters
which he tad taken from the bag on that evening
were found on his person. These consisted of i've
packages of letters from different eastern Offices,
chiefly to business mea in this city.
Several of the packages are known to have con-
tained money and drafts-one draft from Wind
ham, being for $500. II is believed that all the
property taken, except the money, has been de-
stroyed The 81 bill which had been pnt in the
decoy letter, was found in Miller's possession.
