Fcrsome days we have expectedto learn from the
south of the arrival of the Utah mall but the last
despath from Los Angeles says there are no signs
of il vt. In the absence Of news speculation runs
high. "To be or not to be' is the general question
when he war beet is on the taps.
Themission of Col Kane of which wrote to

Of INST people, and is generally regarded as step
backwards on the part of the government. Every
one Il his opinion. Every item of information that
Ipciup confirms my former statement. II will
turn but, / have no doubt, that his services have
been s much offered as sought, and that he is more
the rliable medium of communications between
President Buchanan and Governor" Young than
the "Irace ambassador" Should the Colonel find
his former friend Brigham, disposed to make an
arrangement compatible with the honor and
dignity of the government, the opportun
ty will thereby be furnished, and the me-
dium under such circumstances, may and
likely will receive the commission to ne
gctate. That there is in it more than this
do not believe. The March mail from
Great Salt Lake City is now due: In a day or two
from now likely to learn something on the
subject, and before the sailing OF the next steamer
there will be time to ventilate the news.
Since last mail several private letters from Utah
have got before the public. The writer's do not re-
present abundance of provisions in the Territory;
On the contrary, it is represented that there is much
misery from want. Many of the Mormons who left
San Bernardno in the fall for Great Salt Lake City
are said to be much dissatisfied and longing to re
turn They have not gone to the capital of the Ter
ri.ory, their original destination but have settled
down about two hundred miles south of it, at Beaver
Creek somewhere abo0t fifty miles north of their
settlement at Plrowan. The scarcity of provisions
assigned as the reason for stopping the emigration
IS that distance from the seat oi empire. Captain
Hunt, formerly OF the legislature and probably the
richest man of the San Bernsndino settlement, who
sol1 his mill and property in the fall for $500,
while ts actual value s25 0O0 is reported to be
among the dissatisfied and likely to return TO his
former stamping ground broken man. These re-
ports, true false are widely circulated and gene
rally believed. Some think they discover behind
the reports an effort to create sympathy for the Nor
nous, and possibly for some to return and get
another haul from the Gentiles.
San Bernardmo is now said to be fourishing rapid
y in commerce. under the energy of the lew cti-
ems, and to all appearance it is becoming an uncom-
orable place of soiourn for the remnant of che Nor
that still linger behind. Some of the "seceders"
ave got into power and are jealous in hunting for
gaxliss, those who follow the patriarchsin word
nd deed. Several cases have created quite lively
