The Troops IN good HealH-Morn1on Hatred Of Gentie&
Camp FIoyd-Brighdn Young-Scenes Of DeSttt,dion.
Advices from Great Salt Lake City to the 18th of
July have been received. The army was in good condi
ton, and enjoying comfortable quarters. The city it is
stated had resumed its wonted aspect nearly all the ref
ugees having returned to their homes ard the pursuit Of
their avocations An investigation of the condition Of
the territorial library had confirmed the suspicion that
the Mormon leaders asfed when they declared that the
books remained undisturbed. A large portion of the
law books formerly contained in the library have dsap
peared The Mormons preserved the sembance of peace
at last advices, but their hatred Of the Gentle rup
ton was manifested in various unpleasant ways. The
New York Times has letter dated Camp Floyd, &C.
dar Valley, July 10TH, from which take the follow
ing
The TRoors IN CAMP.-The march from the Jordon
to the present camp about eleven miles gradual
ascent to the base of sowcOTerd range of mountains
Here we are it is said to remain until the small assaque
Or Irritating ditch, which through the camp, dries
up. The headquarters and staff the mouth of
the Cannon, and then below, along the assaque is the
l2-pound battery, by company of the 4th infantry,
the 5th infantry the 10th infantry the volunteer bat
talon, Col. LOrings command, composed of one COM
pany and detachment of mounted rifles company of
the LIST cavalry, one company of the It'll infantry two
companies of 9Th infantry, and three of the Sd infantry
below this last command is Phelps light battery, and
in rear of the last two the I'd dragons
The stream is now quite large enough for pur-
poses the water is cool and pleasant to the TASTE and
CedarwOOd abundant. Grass is abundant in the valley
but the soil being very light and apparently not mos-
tened since the deluge carried about by the wind in
all directions and deposited among papers, clothing,
books bedding and food in quantities sufficient to in
sure consumption of peck regularly each week
DesertOns from the army have been frequent of late
under circumstances leading to the conviction that the
Mormons are melting it.
The weather is intensely during the day, but
the ghts are cool and pleasant The troops will in a
few days move fourteen miles further west line of
daily stage coaches, between this city and the camp has
been established and is literally patronzed The voun-
teer battalion is to start Monday next the march
for Fort Leavenworth, where it will be disbanded.-
Those members of the corps who prefer to be discharged
here and be employed in the quartermasters department
to be provided for in that way and those who desire
to 60 California are to be discharged at camp with two
months ratiOns.
A MORMON MARKET HoUsE-A market-house has
been erected in the of the camp where the Saints
may bring their notions and sell them under the protec
ton of guard Milk buttermk, butter, eggs cheese
onions and potatoes the staples, milk at twenty-five
cents per dozen, cheese fifty cents per pound onions
twenty-five cents small bunch old potatoes two dollars
and four dollars per bushel are the usual prices
SELF LAKE CIrY.-Notwithstand the people in
this city have quite settled down in their homes again
we had no public service last Sabbath and it is said
there is to be public assembage of the people again
until winter The church leaders, however are almost
constantly in council. Brigham remains constantly
confined to his house. and has not been seen out of doors
since his arrival in the CITY, All the gates in the walls
which surround his block are locked and barred except
the one directly in front of his own private Office al
which guard of five men is stationed continually and
no one is admitted, within the outer gate until his
name has been sent in, and Brigham has consented te
see him.
SCENES OF DEsr1rUTIoN-The refugees returning
from the southern settlements continue to line the road
with their trains of wagons, herds and focks Some
these trains present scenes by means pleasant to the
eye Here We see young girl of Gig bteen with bare
feet and a ha]fcad form, driving yoke of oxen and
there, tender little girl of scarcely eight years Of age
whipping up two or three obstrepero1s pigs, dragging
her little feet YEARLY and painfully over the sharp grave
road The wagons are usually piled up with the coarses
and eommonest furniture, with chickencoop and its
cacklng occupants strapped upon the rear Sometimes
the pig occupies this post and the chickens are packed
inside the vehicle with the children But EVERYWHERE
poverty poverty, meets u.s. turn al
we will Spend half an hour in merchants store, anG
see old women and young girls in plentiful numbers
approaching, with few new potatoes dozen eggs,
handful OF onions pound or two of butter which they
half hopngly and half doubtngly-offer in barter fo
some trfe Of goodsa yard Of cotton or calico, Or
little their eyes wishfuly the while owe
the we6ed shelves of goods of which they are so mucl
in need: The people have been warned not to trad
with the Gentiles, but the cases are so numerous il
which the law of necessity is stronger than the law
the church, that the merchants are driving brisk trade
sending their barter supply of provision to the camp
where they find ready sale.
Why is it that Lord Derby cannot insure his life ?
Because he cannot find any one to make out the policy
