Later from Salt Lake.

Below we give some important intelligence
from Salt Lake, received by way Of Carson
Valley, and te~legraphed from Sacramento.-
The main facts appear to he that the troops
attempted to force a passage through Echo
Canon, but were unsuccessful.
~"SACEaMENro, Jan. 9, 1853 Messrs. Mid
iletun and Pearson arrived at Carson Valley
on the 9th, and Mr.. Pearson has ust arrived
from Carson Valley via the Big Tree Route.
They trough: an cxuress fir NJ Washington
to II-rris$ Fork Tor c /. Johnston. On De-
ccmher 7th, Col. Alexander, with the 9th
Dragons, had attempted to force their way
thr, ugh Echo Canon; in the attempt four
of tie dragons were killed. Thinking it
IMPOSSIBLE to force the pass COnonel j hn-
stun, who had assumed command of the
troops, retired, and in II few days despatched
Col. Alexander, with twenty-eight Dragons
as an escort, to ST. Louis, to obtain supplies.
Colonel Johnston then retrraled a short dis
lance 10 Sulphur Springs and took the Sui
lett cut q around to the north of Salt Lake
20 Box Elder, from which Me-srs. Middleton
and Pearson started December 18th. Colonel
Johnston was there at the time with the
second aud third dragons and light artillery,

supplies If all kinds. The Colonel has pick
els set all the way from Box Elder to Gravelly
Ford of from forty to sixty men. An escort
Of seven Dragons came with the expressmen
! o G~ravelly Ford.
He will attempt to enter Salt Lake City
about the 1t OF May, as he expects liar-
ncy will arrive on the other side about
thar time.
There are three companies Of dragons
at Fort Bridger. Fort Supply, twelve miles
South, has been evacuated by the Mnrmnns
and the troops have possession Of It. Nh.
