ST. LOUIS, July l2.-Letters have been re-

but they contain few additional items of in
terest.
An officer writing from Gen. Johnston's
camp, on Bear River, June l6, says the army
would resume its march next day. General
Johnston had received an express from the
Peace Commissioners, informing him that the
army would be received peaeeably by the
Mormons. He (the GeneraD did not, how
ever, feel any increased confidence in the
peaceful attitude of the Saints, and the army
was kept in readiness to repel any threatening
demonstrations.
proclamation had been issued to the peo-
pie by Gen. Johnston, IN which he tells them
the army is as ready to afford them assistance
and protection as it was to oppose them when
in rebellion against the government. 1t was
thought this guaranty would cause many
Mormons to evade the despotism of Young,
who had sedulously inculcated the belief that
the army was particularly hostile to them.

that the Salt Lake mail of June 10, had ar

The army was in excellent health and spirits.
Brigham Young and his followers were still
at Prevo. Young had been to Salt Lake City
to confer with Gov. Cumming and the Peace
Commissioners, but the result of the confer

opinion that the Mormons would offer "a re-

Col. Hoffman left the command of Fort
Bridger to Captain Marcy, and accompanied
Gen. Johnston. Everything regarding the
future movements of the Mormons was yelled
IN mystery. Rumors were still rife, however,
that they mediate an occupation of Sonora.
