From UTAH -Sr. LOUIS, Saturday, June 5, 1858.
The Republican learns from gentleman who left
Fort Leavenworth on the I'd inst and who had
read all the letters from Camp Scott to May g. that
the news that Gov Cumming had been driven from
Salt Lake City has been discredited. Letters from
Camp Scott Of the latest date mentionno such event.
and nothing was known there Of what had transpi-
red in the city, there being no official intercourse
between Gov. Cumming and Col. Johnston. Dis.
patches from Gov. Cumming to Secretary Cass were
received at Camp Scott subsequent to the departure
of the mail on the 9th Of May, and as the news of
Gov. Cummings expulsion was only derived from
the Mormon bearers, these dispatches are regarded
as improbable. Information had reached Camp
Scott that supply of beef cattle from Oregon was
close at hand, and that Col. Hoffman was within
seven to nine days march Of the encampment.
The Democrat has just received the following dis
patch from LeavenWOrth, Sd inst William Cross
man arrived here last night from Fort Laramie and
states that Capt Marcys train has been cut off by
the Mormons. Particulars Of his story have been
forwarded by mail.

as she remained in ignorance Of his fate"
