Official information has been received
from Governor Cumming of his arrival at
Salt Lake City, and favorable reception
there,
Brigham Young formally delivered 10
him all authority, and commended the peo-
pie 10 obedience. There was not the
slightest demonstration Of hostility.
Brigham Young and the prominent Nor

Tuesday last.
The various Mormon settlements were
broken up and the inhabitants were moving
South, for, or in the direction Of Sonora
The scene is represented TO have been most
distressing and mournful as the men, wo-
men and children; poorly clad and lily pro-
vided for, uncompIainingly took their de-
parture from the Territory.
A message was received in the House TO-
day from the President, enclosing copy Of
a dispatch from Gov. Cumming, dated May
Cd, and received at the State Department
yesterday. From this the President says
there is reason 10 believe that cur difficult
ties with Utah have terminated, and that
the laws are restored. He congratulate,
Congress on the suspicious event, and ex-
presses the opinion that there will be nc
occasion 10 make the appropriations FOR Tie
three regiments Of volunteers recently au.
thorized for quelling the disturbances il

ECol. Jas. II. ADAMS, of Clay, is a
candidate for Congress in the 4th District,
and we hope will be elected. The St. Jo-
segh Gazette, family organ of Mr. CRAIG,
admits that Gall reports concur in represent
ing him gentleman" and the Liberty 7fi-
buns is jubilant with favorable reports from
those parts of the District already visited.
We urge our friends in that District to
decisive and valiant campaign, and feel that
certain victory awaits them. Mr.. CRAIG,
the candidate Of the rottens. is known TO be
unacceptable to some Of the Oldest Demo.
Gratis in the District, and according 10 his
own organ, cannot unite his party. The
following letter from Mr.. Frey, is to the
point, and shows ZIP those trimming" quail
tiles which disgust honest men Of every
party
The Hon. Jim Craig is Rotten.
l have waited good long time 10 see
whether Jim Craig would deny the charge
made, to- wit: That he swore he would rot
before he would vote 10 admit Kansas under
the Lecompton constitution, unless that COLI
stitution was ratified and adopted by the
people of Kansas. The Chicago Tribune
copied my article from your paper, and
vouched for the truthfulness of it. and sent
Craig the copy containing it. 1t was also
copied into the Cincinnati Gazette, and some
other papers, so that Mr.. Craig cannot plead
ignorance; and the said Craig remaining
mum, Judgment is taken as confessed, and
it therefore appears, by the record Of the
court, that the said Hon. James Craig, Rep
resentative from the State of Missouri Is rot
ten, he having voted 10 admit. Kansas under
the Lecompton constitution, without the
same being submitted 10 fair vote of the
people.
II Craig is pachy dcrrraiio's, such expo
sure of his rottenness will not hurt him. II
his constituents are an ignorant, stupid peo-
pie, they will re-elect him; or if they are
as rotten as himself, then, "like master like
man," they are we'll represented, and ought
by all means 70 send him back TO Congress.
Whether Buchanan bribed him TO vote Le-
compton, this deponent knoweth not; but
this | do believe, that, politically, he is mar
ketabIe, and will always be ready to sell out
cheap. Should the current run strong for
emancipation about the time Of your next
election, or soon after, you will be very apt
to find jim in the current, padding with
all his might. Let who will be King, Jim
will be Vicar of Bray; he can play second
as fast as the next man. Political honesty
and manliness are terms not TO be found in
his vocabulary. When Missouri gets her
eyes open, think The race Of the Craigs and
the Greens will be ended.

WAsHINcToy. June 8

WAsHINGToS, June 3.
The Secretary OF the interior has asked
Congress Tor an appropriation Of $1,000 eco
10 enable him 10 take measures 10 preserve
peace in the Northern SUPPLEMENTARY
now threatened with invasion by large bo-
dies OF hostile Yanctonaize and Sioux In
dams. IL is within the knowledge OF the
Department that great dissatisfaction has
existed for some years among the turbulent
bands Of Sioux or Dacotah Indians, whose
range is along the Missouri river, and is
now about TO manifest itself in an inagura-
ton Of hostIlities OH a scale Of alarming
magnitude. The regular troops having
been withdrawn, the frontier settlements
are lett entirely unprotected, and great a.
larm exists among the settlers, who have
appealed 10 the Department for protection.
The Secretary, therefore. earnestly appeals
that Congress &c, promptly in this emer-
gency:
The Secretary transmits a letter from
Agen! Vaughn, in which it is stated the
Sioux are IN a belligerent and refractory
condition, particularly the Menecogrees
and Uncapa bands. During the past year
they have been robbing unfortunately
every white man passing their country, in
many cases threatening their lives. The
withdrawal Of the troops from Fort Pierre
has caused The Indians to believe that the
Government is afraid of them and from their
conduct and threats Vaughn is satisfied
that no agents life is safe in distributing
annuities without suitable force 10 protect
him.
The Secretary asks 100000 to redeem
the promise made by Gen. Harvey to nine
bands of the Sioux in 1856. These bands
are among the widest and most dangerous
within our limits. Good faith ard sound
policy demand The fulfllmcnt Of these stip-
ulations, and it is said that, unless meas
ures are promptly taken serious disiur-
Dances will likely result,

Mr.. Tompkins, and his Ohio friends, are

the profitableness OF the business, no per.
