END OF THE Mormon WAR.-An ex-

END OF THE MORMON WAR.-An ex-
press arrived at Fort Leayeuwortb, on
the 18TH inst, from Col. Johnston, of the
Utah Army, at Camp Scott, bringing the
highly important intelligence that the
Mormons have laid down their arms, and
concluded to submit to the United States
authorities 1t is r.ported'oy the mes
senger who LEFT camp Scott on the 10th
of Aprd, that Brigham Young had sent
anjnvitation to Governor Cummings and
the Judge Of the United States Court to
come into Salt Lake City and assume the
government of the Territory. He re-
quests them to come without an escort,
which implies an opposition to the en-
trance Of the troops. A large number OF
the Mormons had gone to the Southern
part Of the territory; who were to be fol-
lowed by their wives and children.
The news will be most welcome to the
Administration, and will be hailed with
joy all over the country. The fortunate
issue ofthe trouble is to he attributed
it is supposei-to the negotiations of Col.
Kane, the secret agent Of the govern.
ment, who was despatched to Utah by
the way of California, and arrived at Salt
Lake on the 18th of February. 1t is
presumed that his arguments, backed by
the resolute expression Of the determin-
alton of the President to conquer the
rebels, induced second, sober thought
on the part of Brigham, and led him to
the conclusion that discretion was the
better part Of valor." From the arrival
of Col. Lane on the 25th Of February, till
the 10th of April, which is the date Of the
intelligence from Col. Johnston, ther,
was ample time to have effected TIT
peace measures, and there is no doub
that the whole difficulty will be speedily
adjusted by Gov. Cummings, Col. John
ston and Mr.. Kane. The public Com
missioners Of Peace, who are travelling il
haste and style to Utah, will find thei
occupations goue," before their arrival
AS soon as the news is officially authen
ticated, all further military movement
will be arrested, and the fat contracts 70
supplies will be cancelled, and the desir
Of the volunteer regiments for niltar,
glory will be disappointed. Secretar.
Cobb will be relieved from anxiety abou
the finances, and newspapers grow dul
for the want Of an exciting topic.
The preparations for the expedition
and the movement Of troops have cause,
already vast expenditure, but tho dem
onstration of the determination an
power Of the Government to maintain il
authority and execute the laws Of til
Union, even in the remotest Territory
will be worth to the country more tha
its cost. A conflict and triumph nigh
have more completely indicated tn
supremacy Of the General Government
yet most good citizens will be willing +

According to . Lecompton correspondent
of the st. Louis Republican, tho President
is using a new and extraordinary "persua-
sive" to force the people Of Kansas to sub
NIT. The writer from tho Kickspoo Land
Office, says: z@3
'.On Thursday last, Gem. Whitfield re-
ceived his instructions to proceed with the
sale in due form on the 9Th OF July ,next. On
that day. all prescriptions will be ended, aud
thousand good claims will be forfeited
Many persons who have lived upon good
farms and improved them for two or three
years, but who have no means to pre-empt
them, will lose thoir homes. This appears
TO be very hard; but no further favor can be
asked Of the President for Kansas. The only
way to postpone the sales and to give those
| settlers two or three years TO pay for thcii
homcs will be, to support the Constitution
make Kansas State, and claim time to 30
lcct the lands to which she is entitled unde
| the act.
| The Constitution is now engrosssing tn,
attention of all persons aud all parties, and
although it would be best TO adopt it, tn
strong probability is, thatit viii be rejected
This defender Of the Administration, think
this a perfectly legitimate and Democrats
mode Of forcing the people to submit to Ex
ecutiye dictation. The poor settlers have n
reason to hope for mercy from the Presiden
after their rebellious conduct.
