lose no time in communicating this in
formation and in expressing the opinion that
there will now be- no occasion to make any
appropriation for the purpose Of calling in
TO service the two regiments Of volunteers
authorized by the act Of Congress approved
on the eth OF April last, =" for the purpose
Of quelliDg disturbances in the Territory OF

tory intelligence from Utah, because it will
afford some relief to the treasury at 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 important and urgent
as to brook no delay, and to Justify and re-
quire a loan, and most probably tax upon
