From Our Special Correspondent
WAsHINGTON June 10, 1853.
Telegraphic dispatches from st. Louis to-day,
confirm the Impressions expressed in my letter
yesterday, as 10 the intelligence from General
Johnston, of an intended resistance by Brigham
Young, notwithstanding the peaceful professions
made after Gov. Cumming entered Salt Lake City.
This news proves cOnclusively that Gov Cumming
estimated the probabilities correctly, when he
ass 1red the Secretary of State, in his dispatches of
the ID of May that the Mormons had determined
upon general exodus. And 80 much was he moved
bv this belief that he Immediately went forward to
exert his personal influence in arresting their depart
urc. Coming as the intelligence does just on the
heel of that from Camp Scott it serves to illustrate
how little reliance may be placed on army opinions
and versions of facts, when modified BY prejudice,
as in this instance AT the very time when
General Johnston was urging the War Depart
mept here 10 prepare for conflict, the man
body of the MOrmOns, numbering tens oil
thousands were pcaccably in search of another
home. He had had no communication TO speak
of with Gov. Cumming at the date OF his dis
patch, except to receive requests for passes from
him for Mormons who desired to visit the United
States The dispatch says that the army was
mainly in good condition, but wanting IN shoes ana
stockings, for which they were substituting moe
caslns. ~
AS vet Gen. Scott and the Secretary of War have
nat det.rminsd npan tho future disposition OF the
troops in Utah. And It is not unlikely that theH
plans, which were partially interrupted 6y the
accounts from the camp, may now be resumed unGer
tie more encouraging indication to-day. Inc
Indian depredations will engage all this force, and
more if il could be spared in protecting the emil
grant trains and overland mails to California, which
are TO start after the lst of July, under the con-
tract with Messrs. Butterfcld Il Co.
At last the Senate has really adjourned SINE de-
and the last vestige of Congress will disappear to-
morrow. Mr. Mason's resolutions from the Com
r,ittee of Foreign Relations, which were so con
triyed as TO express very little, and to mean still
less passed unanimously, though they Tell tar be-

even bv the mover for any effect, but as expressive
of the sense of the Chamber. The coincidence
WAS a little remarkable, that DIVISION should
have been reached when the news by the Europa

corning these outrages, was received mere. me

They were perfectly safe in issuing such orders:
and hoped TO claim the eclat OF a determined and
prompt movement. And the same programme was
pursued in Congress. When Mr.. Clay brought IN
his bin for decisive measures, it was stled on the
spot, and he threatened to resign from the Com
mittee of Foreign Relations in consequence Of TINS
treatment. That Committee adjourned ten days
ago sine die, under an intmation from the Whlte
House in order IL dodge this very question, tearing
that if it were cOrnered, the majority would be
compelled to bring in bill that must have involved
an up and down issue. The President prefers ne
cotiafion TO war; even if one should end in nothing,
and the other promise something. He prefers peace
with all its procrastinaton. And, so far as England
is concerned, both be and Gen. Cass, who used to
proclaim War us inevitable" every other day III
