GOV. A. V. BROWN TO THE NEW YORK
MEETING.

Among the proceedings Of the great democratic
meeting At Tammany Hall, we find a letter from the
Postmaster General We wish we had room for 1t
entire to-day, can We refuse ourselves and our
readers the pleasure OF one extract Speaking Of
the Kansas constitution be says:

THE UTAH NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. FROM
COL. JOHNSTON-SUPPLIES STINT OUT.
The Uaiggcoutaius dispatch from Col JouSsrov,
dated Camp Scott, Jan 4th, but it mentions little
that is not already known. He says the raHons on
band will probably be sufficient to last till the 10Th
or 10Th Of june and that fresh supplies should reach
uim by the lst Of June. We quote the following
paragraph:
60 The greater number Of soldiers now on the sick
report have been rendered unit for duty by 'frosJ
hte'-a source Of suffering 90 which those who IN
this climate, have other covering for the feet than
leather shoes, are very liable when on guard or
marching iu snow. ] have thought, that ia view of
preserving the efficiency of the soiiIery during the
winter months, well as 10 proven, much suffering,
the government ought TO provide pair of buffalo
OvershOps for each man serving IN this climate and
have accordingly approved Of Ihe admission of that
item in the annual estimate Of the chic, quarter
master; and, also. of full allowance OF SIbley
tents means OF protection 90 The troops against
the IuclemeuCy Of the winter season. and Of health
aud comparative comfort. The Slbnv tent Is q good
substitute for a hut with the advantage of using il
in all localities, well sheltered from cold and pre-
vaillug winds"
Col. JOHNSTON confirms the previous statement.
that the N0rmons were organizing force to cap
.ure the horses and mules which Capt. M,EcY's ez-
petition is expected TO bring from New Mexico. and
he therefore requests that the coumlnier of the
department of New Mexico be directed TO send
force with Capt NJ to cover his movements
As stated yesterday, Gen. Scorr. Immediately on
receiving Col. JouNsr0N's dispatch, forwarded
telegranhic dispatch to the commanding officer al
Fort Lelveuworth, directing him to advise General
GAHLASD, commander in New Mexico that the Nor
mons intend intervening Capt. MARCY, and direct
ing that strong escort be furnished the latter on
his return march.
The following is the order of Gen Scorr. also sent
