I transmit, copy Of despatch from
Gov. Cumming TO the Secretary Of State,
dated at Great Salt Lake City on the 2nd
Of May, and received at the Department

lose no time in communicating this
information, and in expressing the opin-
ion that there will be no occasion TO make
any appropriation for the purpose of cal

volunteers authorized by the AIT of Con-
gress approved on the 7Ih of April last,
for the purpose of qnelling disturbances in
the Territory Of Utah, for the protection
of supply and emigrant trains, and the
suppression of Indian hoslilties on tile
frontier.
am the more grstiied al this saisfac-

afford some relief 10 the Treasury, al
time demanding from US the strictest
economy. and when the question which
now arises upon every new appropriation
is whether it be of character so impor-
tsnt and urgen, as to brook OF no delay,
and to Justify and require loan and most
probably tax upon the people TO raise
The money necessary for lis payment.
In regard 10 the regiment OF volunteers

the frontiers of Texas against Indian hos

From TIE Sarta -Fs Gazeffe.

Kit Carson arrived in Santa Ee, on the 18th
uit. We learn from him that information
had been received from Capt. Marcy's trains
and the command of Col. Lorng. Captain
~ was waiting at Boiling Spring for the ar
rival OF Col. Loring, who was making pro-
gress. Kit says that there is no doubt the
Mormons have enissaries among the Utah
indians; making tiattering promises to them
If they will join the cause OF Brigham Ioung.
The Indians, however manifest no disposition
TO accede to their solicitations. lie expects
to meet, the latter part Of this month, about
one thousand of the Tabamuatches, when it
is the design Of Col. Collins, Superintendent
of Indian affairs, to be present. These In
dians have only since the term OF Office of the
present Superintendent commenced, been CON
sidered within this superntendency. The
liberal and enlightened policy of the admin
istration as embodied in their official instruc-
tions, towards these Indians, has effectually
won their confidence and friendship, and We
may assume that there is not the remotest
probability OF their disafiection to our people.
MIR. Carson thinks there is no doubt but
what Captain Marcy's supplies would have
been cut OFF by the Mornons had not the es-
cort OF four additional companies been order
ed for his protection. As it is, there is every
probability Of difficulty in the way, but the
command will doubtless succeed in reaching

The Deluge,

The river rose more rapidly yesterday than
at any time for the last three weeks All
the upper rivers seem TO have combined to
send forth their largest bodies Of water, and
at snndown last evening the whcle of our
broad Leyee was covered with water, and the
cellars of the houses on Front street were
filled to tho first floor. Horses, wagons and
drays were constantly employed in the water
in conveying freight to the few steamboats,
leaving port and many Of the cross streets
leading from the river were filed with pro-
duce of various kinds. Bloody Island is near
ly deserted by the inhabitants, while the last
of the citizens of Ilinoistown were buisly en-
ployed yesterday in removing themselves
and their effects to this city. Only few Of
the houses in llinoistown are out of the wa
ter, and some frame houses were upset by
the violence Of the current, crevasse having
been made in the ighborhood Of Brooklyn
The rear of lllinostown forms great lake.
The town Of Cahoka is submerged, and ma

are completely surrounded with water, and
great destruction OF property must follow
a lake in the vicinity Of Muscatine was so
completely filed with water by the heavy
rains, that it burst asunder the artificial en-
bankment, and the water went rushing
through the streets, filling the cellars, aud
doing much damage to the sugar and other
articles contained in them. At St. Geneyere,
the Big Field" is by this time pretty well
covered with water, and the crop Of corn will
be destroyed.
A vast amount fproperty will be lost by
this flood. That in the American Bottom
and the lowlands along the several rivers will
be very great; but, unless the rain ceases now,
and an opportunity is offered for corn plant
ing the crops every where will be cut short
The wheat is already suffering, and unless
fair weather comes soon, and the grain is al
lowed to mature, this crop, instead of being
a prolific one, will be exceedingly Indifferent
both in quality and quantity. The meadow
fields are overrun with the army worm. in
some neighborhoods, and is likely to sustain
great injury. Altogether the prospect is very
dismal and discouraging.
Last evening the water was scarcely eight
feet below the extreme height which it at
tanned in 1874.

a Wife Runs Away with an Apprentice to her
Husband

A scene Of exciting interest was enacted a
day or two ago, in private boarding house
in the western part of the city, which at one
time threatened 10 develop into a tracical
announcement, but finally resnlted in an am
icable adjustment. From the run of the sto-
rv, it appears that a Mrs. Martha Heniger.
residing with her husband in some interior
town in Illinois, suddenly left home about
two weeks ago, and with her disappeared an
apprentice in the carpenter shop of her hus-
banda strapping specimen Of a western
bov, some nineteen or twenty Years Of age
The husband very naturally associated the
two together. in looking at the vacant seats
at the breakfast table, and while feelings Of
dire revenge took possession Of his bosom, he
took the cars, and travelled in various direc-
tions in search Of the runaways, who, it seems.
made hot haste for this CITY, thinking. no
doubt, that they would be lost sight of in the
aggregation of humanity that makes up the
town.
And go they would have been, but for the
imprudence of the runaway wife, who wrote
letter to her sister residing in the town
from whicq she had eloped. and the post
master exposed the whereabouts of the fugi-
them, and with the aid Of other employed for
the purpose, succeeded in tracing them to the
boarding house alluded to, and surprised
them at tho dinner table on Monday. OF
course a scene followed. during which, how
ever, the wife displayed the most courage in
her shame, for while the boy husband en-,
deavored to make his escape by the rear of
the buiiding,- she stood up and boldly con-
fronted her husband, and csolly inquired
/ what business he had in that particular To-
caty.
The husband threatened to use revolver.
and produced a formidable looking weapon,
at which the other boarders present interfer-
ed, and disarmed him. A parley then ensu-
ed, and after an hours private conversation
between the husband and wife, she conseted
to return to her home, and in future become
an obedient wife. Her trunks were soon
packed, a Carriage was called, and the COM
pany left for the depot The apprentice was
admonished never to exhibit the light of his
countenance to the husbands optics, or the
direst vengeance would follow. So he lost
