EVANSVILLE, IND. THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE To- 1853.

FROM UTAH.-The latest intelligence
from Camp Scott, is to the 9TH Of May.
II was reported there that Governor
Cummings was at Salt Lake City, and
was negotiating. to the no small disgust
of the array, who are exceedingly anx-
ious for q set-to. Another report states
that his authority was fully recognized
by the Mormons, who had given up all
thoughts Of reaistancssa had gone to
planting their farms. "a. - =
In contradiction to the above, an officer at
Camp Scott, writes under date of the 7th of
May, stating that the Mormon's would ac-
cede to no terms which the United States au7
thorities could accept. The former had vir-
tually proposed an ultimatum, and evinced
every disposition to adhere toit under all
circumstances and 10 the last extremity
The men who had accompanied the wagons
which Gilbert met going South toward tho
White Mountains had returned or were re-
turning. In the opinion of the officer who
writes and whose position gives him every
opportunity for obtaining correct knowl-
edge Of the facts from which the opinion is
derived, a collision was imminent.
There are so many interests to be sub.
served in keeping up the Mormon war, and
continuing the expenditures for support.
ing it, that the reports Of continued diff
culties should be received with caution.
1t is reported that Capt. Marcy, with
his supplies from New Mexico, for Col.
Johnson's troops, had been cut off bv
the MormoDs. This is probably untrue.
Col. Hofman's supply train had got only
one hundred miles beyond Fort Laramie;
he encountered heavy fall of snow in
May, Of two foot deep, that so obstr',ctea
his march, that he made only forty miles
in fourteen days. 1l.l
Large numbers of his animals persisted.
They had no hopes of being able to join Col.
Johnston before the 10th or 18th of June.
An officer about Col. Johnston's head quar-
ters, VINO writes on the 9Th Of May, says that
they were TO have struck their tents on the
S0th, and march on Salt Lake. The same
authority states that they had "small ra-
tions" TO last them until about the 1st of
June. The meat ration had almost disap-
peared, but herd of two or three hundred
fat oxen were expected in day or two.
Itwonld appear that this expectation was
not fulfilled, for Gov. Powell,,at a later date,
writing to Captain McCown, commander of
Fort Kearny, says that Johnston's men,
would be feeding on mule meat, on the Goth
of May. Powell had not reached the Camp
when he wrote thus, but he had learned prob
ably of the non-arrival of the oxen. = & s

Our Illuminated Senator was completely TAX
