A correspondent at st. Joseph advises the st.
Louis Republican that portion of the second repi-
ment of United States infantry, withdrawn from
garrison at the distant post Of Fort Randall To-
Gated towards the source of the Missouri, passed
that place on the 25th utimo on their way to Fort
Leavenworth. This detachment will occupy Fort
Leavenworth during the absence of the forces now
collecting there for the Utah expedition as we have
already learned by telegraph. They were under
the command of Capt. Lowell. The following gen
tlemen the officers in command: Lieut.. Nc
MILAN, adjutant; Captain Lyon, company B; Capt
Gardner, company ID; Lieut.. Lee, company H.
They bring no news from Fort Randall, but report
everything quiet.
We learn, from Carrollton (Mo.) paper that the
troops designed for Utah, ascending the Missouri
river, are deserving every chance they get. On the
steamer Oglesby, recently, there were three hun
dred troops, out of which there were fifty deser-
lions before that boat passed Hills Landing. 1t is
suspected by some that Mormons, in disguise, are
following the soldiers, and afford those who are will
ling to desert opportunity to escape. The true
and only reason however, for this disposition to de-
sert, lies in general order issued few weeks ago,
forbiddng payment to the troops until their arrival
at Fort Laramie
Among the passengers of the steamer Minnehaha,
which left st. Louis for Leavenworth Sunday
last, General Calhoun and family, General
Easton, Maj Martin, U. S. A., Col. GARRISON, and
other noted gentlemen, together with returning
delegation of the Masonic Order, which had come
to this city some days ago on the Kate Howard.
portion of the second regiment of United States
infantry has been withdrawn from Fort Randall, To-
Gated towards the source of the Missouri river and
