THE COLORADO EXPEDITION.

AsHlHploN, may ~
Lieut. Ives, in his official letter, says that
the expedition of the Colorado has so far pro-
gressed WE'LL and that the Mormons do not
appear to have been successful in concilia-
ting the Mohaves.
The latter are jealous of their approach.
a party had been sent to examine the
route for the Mormon Road to the Colorado
south of the Big Canon which with the
exploration of the valley Of the Virgin would
be finished in the course Of two weeks. W hen
this information has been obtained the practi-
cability of the route as a channel of communi-
cation from Utah to the Pacific will hav
been determined.
This is one of the most important objects

WASHINGTON, May II.
The Secretary of the Treasury invites pro-

Notes, in exchange for Gold.
The Senate has confirmed Joseph Walters
as Associate Justice of Kansas, and sundry
Postmasters in Massachusetts,, including Ma
hum Capen as Postmaster of Boston.
There is little doubt that the report that
the leading Mormons have abandoned Salt
Lake City, and that Gen. Cummings has gone
there, is untrue. We cannot learn that any
such information has been received by the
Government.

There seems little if any doubt that Gen.

have gone to Salt Lake. Col, Kane few
days previously had reached Fort Scott after
an interview probably with Brigham Young,
Col. Kane had no written instructions but
a letter from the President, in which he ex-
pressed his confidence in the ability of that
gentleman and recommended him to the friend

might be shown, OF something to that effect.
