ports from Utah vim San Brrnardlno. A
par,v Of Mormons arrived at the latter
place on the 2Oth Of April from Salt Lake
jCity. The intelligence brought by them
is fouricen dayolner than that received by
mail Their statements arc not regarded
as cnIi ely reliable, but may be taken for
wha, they are worth. One OF the papers
states that private advires announce that
the Mormous arc engaged in erecting !or-
I6icalions on the trail towards Oregon
several hundred miles north OF Salt Lake.

Fort Bridger is now called. II was be-
