Ex-Governor Young PAID MN a visit OF Ger.
enony as soon as he was sufficiently relieved
from the fatigue of his journey to receive com
pany. In subsequent interview, EXC Governor
Young evinced willingness to afford him every
facility he might require for the efficient per-
Torrance Of his administrative duties. Brigham
Young's course in THIS respect, Governor Cum
ming fancied met with the entire approval of a
majority of the Salt Lake community. sssl
The territorial seal, with other public proper
ty, was rendered to Governor Cumming by
William 81. Hooper, the late acting Secretary Of
the Territory. The records aud library remain
unimpaired. Goyernor Cumming entered upon
the performance of his official duty. WITHHELD
ing of profound regret he learned that the agent,
Mr.. Hurt, was charged with having melted to-
acts of hostility the Indians inthe Yinta Valley.
The information came from Mr. Hooper He
hoped that Mr.. Hurt could vindicate himself
from the charges, yet they demand an inyesti-
cation.
Gov Cumming had Informed Gen. Johnston
that he would probably be compelled to make
arequisition for sufficient force torchastise the
Indians. - Fs=fz.se s5sEa,s- - -,
At every point he was recognized as the Gov
ernor of Utah, and received with a military sa-
lutte, the houses being Illuminated in his honor.
Having heard numerous complaints, Govern
signifying his readiness to relieve those who
deemed themselves aggrie3ed by being illegally
restrained of their liberty, and assuring the pro-
lection of all persons. He kept his office open
at all hours, night and day, and registered fifty
six men and thirty three women, and seventy
one children, as evincing their disposition of
proceeding to the United States. A large ma
jority of these people were of English birth, and
were promised assistance to be removed
Governor Cumming says that his visit to the
tabernacle will never be forgotten. There were
between three and four thousand persons as
sembled for the purpose of public Worship
There was the most profound silence when he
appeared. Brigham Young introduced him as
the Governor of Utah, and Governor Cumming
addressed them for half an hour, telling them
that it was his purpose to uphold the Constitu-
ton, and that he would expect their obedience
to all lawful authority, assuring them of his de-
termination to administer equal and exact JUS
tice, etc. He was listened to respectfully. He
invited responses, and several spoke, referring
to the services rendered by the Mormon batta-
lion in the Mexican war, and recapitulated a
long chapter of their wrongs. The tumultfe
fully increased, but an appeal from Brigham
Young restored calmness. Several afterwards
expressed regret at their behavior. - z1d
Gov Cumming proceeds to describe the exc
dus of the Mormons. The people, including
the inhabitants of Salt Lake. in the Northern
part of the Territory, are leaving; the roads are
everywhere filled with wagons loaded with pro-
visions and household furniture, the women and
children following after without shoes or hats
driving their focks they know not where. 8 .
They seemed not only content but cheerful
It is the will of the Lord, they say, and they re-
joice to change the comforts of home; fol-
the trials of the wilderness. Their ultimate
destination was not fixed upon, Going south
seemed to be sufficient to designate the place
but from the private remarks Of Young in his
tabernacle, Governor Cumming thinks that they
are going to Sonora. sa. .4aF...z al
Brigham Young, Kimbal1, and most of the
influential men, had left their commodious man
sions to swell the ranks of the emigrants.. The
masses everywhere announced to Gov. Cumming
that the torch will be applied to every house in
discriminatory, throughout the country, as soon
as the troops attempt to cross the mountains. -
The people, though scattered, every means
would be taken to rally them. Some of the
Mormons are yet in arms, and the Governor
speaks of the mischief they are capable of rend-
ering as guerillas. The way for the emigrants
to the Pacific is open. ,oo
Governor Cumming says that he would leave
for the south on the Sd Of May. He says that
he will restrain all the proceedings Of the mill
tary for the present, and until he shall receive
additional Instructions from the President.
VULGAR BoAsT1NG.-It is very disgusting to
see the coarse braggadocio Of some Of the free
soil press over the unpleasant personal collis-
ions which sometimes occur between Northern
and Southern Congressman, and which may be
occasionally expected, SO long as debate on ex-
citing subjects among imperfect beings, produces
heat that is to say so long as men are men.
The writer's Judge of these encounters, not by
the spirit which they may evidence in the par
ties to them, but by the mere powers of the pu-
gilism the standard of the vulgar bully In
stead Of that of the high-spirited though i'll re-
gulated mind, which forbids its possessor to stop
and calculate chances, or. to shrink from the
most unequal encounter, if honor is thought to
be involved. The vulgar boosters do not seem
to be able to comprehend these latter sentiments;
and in their comments upon the collisions re-
ferred to, con6ne themselves mainly to descrip-
tions such as they would give of affairs of the
ring, or Of cock-fghts. It is matter of exulta-
ton, if they can establish that Mr.. Grow s
chance-blow struck Mr.. Keitt precisely between
the two eyes; it is a highly important point to
demonstrate that said blow knocked Keitt down,
rather than that Keitt stumbled over desk.
The true standard among these men of spirit
who deem that fighting is the mode of redress
ing an injury, is that man must resent an in
suit with such power as nature gives him, with
out respect to the resultSof the encounter. A
mans honor they do not hold to be proportion
ed to his muscle. ..s.5sss4 aared d
