w.h,,a received interesting advlces from Salt
I,Ae City concerning the movements OF Gov'
runm;ue. through t~O expressmeD, Messrs. John
K;ub.Dl and Fsyet.e WoItheD, who arrived here at
.oor ON the Goth inst. with dispatches 10 Col.
Johnston. from the Governor. Trey left the city
on The morning eff the 18th inst, aud made their
tip in two days.
The GoseTpor arrived at Sal Lake City on
Friday the 9th inst, the fin day after leaving
cur camp He entered the valley through Weber
River Canon, about thirty-six miles north oil the
city, the snow being too deep on the Big Mountain
for him to take the direct route, ana passed BIS first
night in the Mormon settlements at a small village
named Sessions Settlement, about twelve miles from
the city. During the evening he was serenaded by
band from the neighbOring town Of Pennington.
The next day be was met and escorted 10 by the
municipal authorities of Salt Lake City, who wei.
coined him to their city. Rooms had been prepared
and were IN readiness Tor hun, and ne Was lmlne-
dately taken there and Hospitality entertained. The
following day Brigham Young and Heber Kimball
called oh him, and the next day after Brigham
sent his carriage for hun and entertained hun III his
own house. Since then they have had several inter
views.
The impression of the people, as stated in my
hast letter that everything Is TO be peacefully and
quietly arranged. The orders to the people to move
had been cOuntermanded and all the church wagons
which had been sent TO the settlements for this pur
pose had been recalled They were now com
mencng to plow and their fields and tO cultivate
the gardens III the city.
The weather in the Salt Lake Valley has been
unusually mild, and the expressmcn who came
10 report that the grass in the valley was at this time
nearly six inches high.
Nessrs. Kimbal ald WOrthen are not Mormons
Themselves, but have relatives whO are M0rmons
and they have resided for several years with this
people None of the MormOns would consent to
bring out the express, they had heard that
great many indictments had been found by the
Grand Jury in this county against them for treason
and they knew not who the particular persons were
who are indicted. The Governor, it was reported,
Intended TO remain in the city until the Sd or 4th of
Nay, at least until after the arrival there of the
mail from California; for what purpose is not
known.
The brands of all the stock which has been stolen
from the settlements during the past eight
months were rent in to Gel. Johnston, with re-
quest that these animals might be returned. There
is not a single animal belonging to Mormon In
camp. The MOrmOns have more than ! 800 head
of our stock now in their hands, which they stole
from us last Fall and Winter; and yet, with the
coolest efirontery, they send to us demanding that
any Of their stock which we have shall be returned
TO them, saying nothing of our stock. TIE Desert
Mus seems to indicate from the tone OF ts late
numbers, that the rulers of the Church intend to
take this ground, namely, that they have been
obliged to keep up standing army during the whole
Winter, throughout their settlements, at great ex-
pense, for the purpose of defending Themselves
against the Indians, VINO, led on by GENTLE whites,
are threatening their determination; and nave 10
doubt bat that the next step will be demand upon
the Government for the payment of the expenses OF
this standing army, which the unfortunate Territory
of Utah las been obliged to keep in the field tor sell
defense against these Indians.
The DESERT Ne,cs of the eth inst contains the
following editorial article III regard to these Indian
dficuties from which il will be observed that they
endeavoriDg to change the issue, and charge u
with the crimes of which they have been guilty,
namely, melting the indians to attack the whites:
