 The news from Utah is oi recent date, and renresents Johnson's command as Tn good health, and ahle to hold out until about the middle of J,na bv which it is believed it will be relieved The government has acted with remarkable promptness and every effort has been made to insure it's relief by that time, and unless the col umn now being pushed forward for that purpose meets with unexpected and unhear .fditficul- ties all will be we'll The impresslon that the Mormons will resist is becoming general and Congress has become alarmed. The bill for the increase of the amy was defeated in the Senate and the House is now considernga a bill with all possible disratch authorizing the raising of four regiments ofvolunteers.
 Fremont's claims for the presidency during the last contest being based on the fact that he had explored the Rocky Mountains, and was forced to eat mule meat; if that gives him any claims, the recent journey of Capt. Marcy from Fort Bridger the head quarters of the army Tn Utah, across the moutans to New MeHlco places him far ahead of the "path- hnder."- The party numbering forty-three, left Fort Bridger on the 18th of Nov, and reached Santa Fe on the 25th of an. The route they passed over had never before been travelled ln md winter, and they encountered heavy snow storms in the mountains, such as Fremont had been

But one man perished and forty out of sixty of the anI- mas of the expedition died of cold and Starva- tion From all accounts the privatlons and hardships endured by the party were really be- vond anything of the kind before heard of, and their safe arrival in New Mexico speaks well for the tact and energy of its leader. He Is known well to many persons in Arkansas, and his acluantances there know that he could overcome difficulties, that hardly any otherman would have the nerve to attempt.

THE STEAMER MAGNoLIA.--1n our paper this vessel, when on her voyage from Wilmington to Fayetteville, N C., by which, as was then said in the North Carolina papers, some twenty persons lost their lives. We are happy to state on the authority of John s. Brown, esq, one of the Supervising Inspectors, that the calaml- tv was less distressing than was at first supposed, the number of persons that pershed having been ascertained to be only eleven.
 The Magnolia was supplied with what Is called an Evans safety guard, but we nave yet to learn whether it was one of the quarter-lnch affairs. or one of those wretched, ill-made con trivances which Capt Haderman has not hesi- to.od to condemn by the wholesale, or a real safetv guard, such as NIT. Evans deemed alone worthy of the name. Ii the last, then the Magnolia s the only boat supplied with an in- strument of this description, on which loss of life from steam has occurred, since the law of 1852 was enacted.
 Mr. Brown states in his letter that this is the first accident of the kind, involving loss of life, that has occurred in his district. This is very extensive one, embracing the Chesapeake and all the rivers that flow into it, and all the wa ters of the Atlantic coast, from the mouth of the Chesapeake to the southemmo>t point of Florida It has been remarkably free from ac- cidents. But one very distressing catastrophe escaped Mr. Browns recollection when he wrote this letter. On the 22l December, 1853. by the explosion of the boilers of the Marlboro, at Charleston, $. C., fourteen persous perished
 Some parts of the country appear to be ex- empt, in a remarkable degree, from steam dis asters On the James river Virginia, if we are correctly informed, no loss of life or damage to persons from steam, has ever occurred, either before or since the passage of the act of 1852 The like is sad of the Upper Mississippi, above the Keokuk rapids. Also of Lake Champlain: and also of Lake Ontario, so far at least as re- gards American vessels.

PRoMPTITUDE.-We are informed by the Au- ditor that the sheriffs of the several counties have already paid into the State treasury about S2oOOO on account of ordinary revenue.
 Sheriffs Wells, of Drew, and Barker of Cal houn have paid nearly, if not quite, the amounts due from their counties, so that they are ready for settlement
 Owing to high waters and consequent difficult ties of getting to all parts of their respective counties, the sheriffs have proceeded but slow ly in taking the census. The returns, however, are daily coming in.

About half past Il o'clock of the night of the 3d inst, the stable of Dr. L. Gibson, near to his dwelling in this city, was discovered to be on fire. The flames next communicated to the dwelling house of W. A. Counts, sepa- rated from the stable only by an alley.
 By the timely arrival of the fire engine and the indefatigable exertions of the fire company no only was the farther progress of the fire ar rested but portion of the burning dwelling was saved
 One horse with a large quantity of corn, fod- der, etc, was consumed with the stable.
 Of nine horses in the stable eight happily escaped.
 The fire is believed to be the work of an in- eendiary.

CONTEMPT CASE IN WISCONSIN, y.-Bvron kilbourn and Thomas Faey, prominent Wis colsin democrats, were recently called before committee appointed by the Legislature of that State, to testify in regard to charge of the Use of some SoOOOO0 railroad stocks as a corr,,n- ton fund in the appropriation of the railroad lands donated by Congress. Both refused to answer to the questions of tn committee and appealed to the supreme court to be discharged from the custody of the Sergeant at Arms of the assembly.
 Chief Justice Whiton and Judges Smith and Cole, were unanimous in their decision against the witnesses on all the points raised. and the prisoners were remanded to the custody of the Sergeant at Arms. They must now testify or go to jail. and the $ ale Journal says Mr. Faley expresses his readiness to make clean breast of 1t rather than be incarcerated
