CAMP SCOTT Dec. 80, 1857.
The Grand Jury of the District Court of the
United States for this county returned into Court
70 day the following indictment for treason, against
certain MormOns who have been prominently identi-
fed with the acts of violence perpetrated thus far
in the rebellion. 1t i. to be regretted that the evil
dence presented to the Jury did not justify the
addition to the list of the name Of John NJ. Bern
hese the Mormon Delegate to Congress. The
position in which he lie placed by the revolt of his
constituency, is such that great curiosity exists in
camp TO learn how be has demeaned himself at
Washington.
After some remarks by Judge Eckels compl-
mepting the Jury for the fidelity with which they
have performed their duties, they were discharged
from further service.
