The Territorial laws, among their caprices, pro-
,e also for Jures Of SIX and of three, and for the
rendering of verdcts according to the viii of ma
;ority of Jurors. The Constitution Of the United
States and the decisions Of the Supreme Court are
.hut out from the court room by the following sec
fon Of Law have once already quoted, which
was approved on Jan. IA, 1854:

might multiply illustrations of the extraordinary
laws Of this Territory touching the Courts and legal
practice; but the statutes are as accessible to you
~ to myself and il requires no prompting and little
ingenuity to discover the knavery and foohshness
which contribute, in about equal proportions, to
each act.
The usual order of business in the Court wac die
pensed with of necessity, and it has proceeded TO
dispose Of cases whether civil or criminal, arising
under Territorial OF under National laws, just as
they presented themselves. Among such multi
tude of teamsters and lsborers as belong 10 the
trains which accompany the army, it was impossi'
bic that instances of petty criminal oenses should
not be frequent, and the chief employment Of the
Court during the week has been the trying of cases
Of larceny, assault aud battery, &c. The Grand
Jury have not yet presented indictments against
ether Howard or StOwell, the Mormon prisoners,
who are charged with treason.
The civilians have christened their settlement
"Eclelsyile," after the Chief Justice, and their
cluster of log cabins, under that name, is recog-
ni.ed by his Excenency as the temporary seat Of
government.
-Four companies Of volunteers have been organ
ed and equipped up to this date, and il is possiele
thst one or two more may be added to the number.
With the assent of the Commander-in. Chief, they
have been consolidated into separate battalion,
and have elected Capt. Barnard E. Bee, of Com
pany d, 10th Infantry, TO be their commander.
He las accepted the position with the temporary
rank Of Lieutenant Colonel. His staff consists of
Lieut.. James II. Hill, Adjutant, and James Desh-
Der, Quarermaster, both also of the 10th. BY this
fransference of Capt. Bee, the command Of
Company falls upon Lieut.. John McNab.
This battalion, when properly drilled, is likely
70 do good service. Most of the men are thoroughly
accimsted, and all Of them are bury, hardy fellows,
who came from the States Ox-drvers II is
rather an abuse Of language, however, 10 call their
enlistment voluntary. / was walking with an off,
Ger down the bottom toward Fort Bridger day
or two ago, when we met half dozen men loaded
with blankets, bake-ovens frying pans, tin dippers,
ana rnes, travelling in the opposite direction. Sup
Posng them TO have just arrived in camp, we hailed
'hem' and asked who they were, and where they
were gong. "0h," said one Of them my name
~ Lekei Thompson. l came out driyin bull
team for Russell & Wsddel and now that they've
turned US out, we can't get anything 10 eat and 90
we're gom up TO volunteer. / s'pose there's no
choice 'eept between yolunteer.n and staryin'."
