Of. tie movement had indeed Commenced, ard
shorty Increased til the eLtIe people q tue j.theIa
tetteTrsLts were in motion. Brigham Young formally
delivered Ito his hsrds the great sea" sad ali
State records. The Mormon cLiefs appeared psrtcl-
lery s0licliCUs thst Gov. Cumming should take pos
session Of ttese m0mentcus documents, iyiug
this measure as tie only one for their preesrvslon.
TEey urgent ii at the Governor should at once

quantities Of dried ferce.To0d hsd been arranged

Having received tie csrituls'ion Of Brigham aud
taken eflicieLt means 10 prevent tie stl dreaded

Governor counted seven hundred aud Fifty wagons
laden with families. They abundsrtly provis-
iored. Many hurdreds had hutted' by they yaJ,

cold and heavy rairs had disappointed their expecta

much and trying irccnyeIce. The attempttO procure
general abandonment OF the march Was OF course
futile.
Mormon leaders nov pre- pote to themselves. They
keep their counsel IN tbs repect with remarkable
cosenefs. The suggestion that they we've bound for
Cedar City rather oscr dted by the fact that they
hsve driven large here's of their cattle much south
ward Of that point II il feared that they may cOae5ce
with Some Of the Indian tribes of the South, which
already sufficiently vexstious and thus give mucn
trouble TO tie Government. They Themselves COM
plain bitterly Of the trestment Of rowing plIties Of
lrdisDs WHO, finding them deienseless on the ioad,
Garnet resist tito temptation presented by so mach
booty. The Indians ridicule the Mornone, saying
they 6ie squaws, and can't fight.
Tie departure Of the Mormona appears to be con-
ctived by TIER Leaders, and those in the American
camp az probably ths best course feasible The cool
