Later From Utah

The st. Joseph Journal of monday last, gives an
account of a most extraordinary trip across the
Plains, by Mr. Bromley, the conductor of the mail
line. We give an account oft in the words Of the
Journal:
The Salt Lake mail arrived in this city yesterday
;bout..noon. We arc indebted to the conductor,
l,Ir. James E. BoOmley, for the following particu-
lars:
The mail left camp scott on the 9th of May
Gov Cumming had been escorted into Salt Lake
City BY the Mormons, kindly treated, ard then es-
corted back to Gen. Johrston's command. He.was
at Camp Scott the time TIE mail left. The Nor
mons were moving their women and children out of
the CITY to Pravo, about forty-ive miles south in
the valley. The Mormons said they would surren-
der to the civil officers, but the troops should not
enter. Seventy families of Mormons had arrived
at Camp Scott, asking protection. General John
ston received them kindly, and promised them an
escort into the States. Gen. Johnston's command
had only two days rations in camp when the mail
left. The men had been living on eight oui.ces d
flour and one half pound of beef per day for two
weeks past They had suffered greatly through the
winter, both for food and raiment. Gen. Johnston
intended entering Salt Lake City as soon as Col.
Hoffman arrived, leaving enough men to garrison
Fort Bridger. Coming III, the party met Captain
Haws, of the I'd Dragons, with $50 beef cattle, at
Hams Fork, only Is miles this side ofCamp Scott;
met Lieut.. Smith 81 dragons, on Green River, 80
miles this side, travelling at the rate of forty eigh
miles per day; and seventy-fve miles further on,
at the east crossing of Big Sandy, met Col Hoa-
mans command with full supplies; met Col. An
drews Of the 9th infantry, at the crossing fthe
South Patt. COL May at Big Blue, and the last
troops, I'd dragons, at Nemaha.
Mr.. Bromley the conductor, reports the road in
an awful condition. The only Indians heard of on
tie rout was war party of for;y-fve Aarrphoes, on
the Little Blue. Mr.. Bromley reports that he met
Col Kane aid party coming on ashc passed out
with the mail, 26J miles this side of Camp Scott
Mr.. Bromley coming in, some days travelled as far
as s5 miles, and averaged over GA the whole trip
Having come through from Fort Bridge to this city
in l6 days, which is the uickest trip On record
he is Justly entitled to the reputation of being the
Aubrey of the present day.

New AND DANGEROUS CoUNTERFEIT.-A new
counterfeit, of the denomination of SO, on the
State Bank of Ohio, has made its appearance in
Cincinnati 1t was taken on deposit at one of the
leading banking houses in that city on monday last,
and it is pronounced by the best judges to be the
best executed and most dangerous counterfeit now
in circulation. The Gazette says:
The country will undoubtedly be flooded with
them Several have been sent here, already, from
N. Y; where they were received as genuine Re
fuse all note often dollars The branches Of the
State Bank Of Ohio. The plates of this bank, from
dollar up to twenty, have now been counterfeit
cd, and in ali cases the engrayings have been well
executed.
The managers of the bank, therefore, owe it to
the public to. get up.a new set of plates. Those
now in use never have been creditable to the bank
and there is nothing connected with them, except
the slight expense that there obstruction would in
yolve, to induce the bank to continue to use them

ALBANY, June IL.
Archbishop Hughes attended here before
the grand jury and applied for an indict-
ment against the Albany Statesman for
libel contained in certain letters, exposing
society which it claims exists under the
name of the "Circlo of Jesus" After
hearing the Archbishop's testimony. tue
grand jury refused to iLdict, on the ground
that if the matter is libellous against the
Archbishop. it should be prosecuted in
New York, where he lives, and not at the
expense of Albany county. The Arch
bishop then offered to defray the expenses
of the prosecution, but the bill was refus-
ed by the grand jury.

THE HAIL SroRM.--Last Saturday af-
ternoon we were visited by the most terrific
hail storm that has ever been witnessed at
this place. The cloud made it appearance
in the north -east, and pursued south
west direction, embracing scope OF about
or three or four miles in width. In this
place, about the only material damage done
was IN the breaking of windows, and the
ruina:ion Of several gardens. We hear
that It was more severe west of town, and
that some of the farmers have suffered
great loss in the destruction Of their crops.
Joseph Evans, living two miles west of
town. had one field Of wheat almost ru-
ined; many of his fences were-blown down,
and his dwelling was materially injured.
There are great many reports in circu-
la,ion. in regard TO the ravages OF the
storm, but we trust that they will prove IN
correct.

wThere has been some misunderstan

EgT There has been some misunderstood
ing, and considerable confusion, in regard
to the Congressional Convention for this
District. But as near as We can learn,
from all sources, we believe it is the pres
ent intention to hold it at this place, on the
first of July. as was first agreed upon.-
There is now no danger of taking the
small pox; and as that was the only thing
urged against this place, we can see no
good reason why a change should be made.
1t is hoped that the notice will be publish
ed throughout the District, as the time is
short. This is central point, easily ac-
cessibls by railroad, stage, or private con-
yeyance, and is well provided with good
hotel accommodations.
P. S.-Sincs the above was in type, We
have heard from majority of the Com
mittee, and they agree that the convention
shall be held here on the first of July. 1t
was thought Bradford was not as suitable
place as this, from the fact that the New
Albany 6 Salem R. r. runs but one daily
train each way. which would compela por-
ton of the delegates to be three days out
We have two daily trains each way, which
will enable delegates to attend the conven-
ton and return the same day.

Change Of Programme.


We have closely scrutinized our Repub-
lican exchanges for some time past, and
cannot find one word about the sovereign
power of Congress over the territories"
1t has been but short time since that was
their cardinal, and we might say only,
principle. if principle it might be called.
If you ask Republican why it is they do
not urge on the people he acceptance of
this principle at the present time. he will
declare thatit is a part of their creed, and
will refer you to speeches and resolutions
of 1854; but cannot show you one word in
favor of it, in any of the late speeches or
editorials of their leaders. The prediction
of the Democrats, that this untenabIe plank
ia their platform would be dropped before
another Presidential election, has already
been verified.
Itwould be difficulito form correct idea
of what their next dodge will be. or what
will be their rallying cry at the next gen.
eral election. 1t would certainly bs very
inconsistent (although consistency is not
part of their creed, for them to marshal
their forces under the banner of "Free-
doml' from the fact that they voted, al
most unanimously in Congress, against the
admission of the free States of Minnesota
and Oregon. In both of these territories,
the election of Delegates to form their State
constitutions, was admitted to be in accord
ance with the provisions of the acts au-
thorizing the election-their constitutions
ted to, and ratified by. the people; what
could have induced these "lovers of free
dom" to oppose their admission? If they
wish freedom 10 triumph in the enactment
of laws, and the election Of law makers,
would it not be reasonable to suppose that
they would desire the admission of free
States, in order 10 retain the balance of
power on the side of freedom? There is
one Of two reasons which was the cause of
their opposition 10 the admission of these
territories, either Of which are certainly
very discreditable to any party protesting
to be guided by principle. The first is,
that this opposition was based upon the
ground that these territories were D,mo-
cratic, and had elected Democratic repre-
sentatives to Congress; the second is, that
they are real enemies to the cause they
profess to cherish, and their cry of "free-
dom" has only been kept up to secure the
success of the party. This hypocritical
cry, constantly aided by exaggerated and
false accounts from Kansas, served their
purpose well for time; bu. those who
were induced to support them in their cru
sade against tie Democratic party. are now
beginning to realize the utter hopelessness
of their present prscarous situation. Gen
uine principles they never had; and their
bogus cry OF freedom has ceased to arouse
the energies of their followers.
What their next hobby will be, is not yet
known to the outsiders; but there is one
prediction that can be safely made, and
that is, tl.at they will change their pro-
gramme as often as any new dogma will Of
lera hope Of success.
We have no fears of their future sue
cess, even should they succeed in bring
ing all the factions into their ranks.
