Later from Utah--Dates from Salt Lake
City TO the 26th--The Army in salt Lake
City &C.
Mr.. JOSEPH B. LAvEILLE, arrived at St. Louis on
Tuesday, direct from Salt Lake City, having left
there in company with the st. Joseph mail on The
Goth of June, has placed the St. Louis Democrat in
possession of the following news:
The army, under Gen. Johnston, was entering Salt
Lake City on the day Of the departure Of the mail,
the Goth. The mail party was detained eight hours
by the passage Of the troops through Emigration
Canon. The Mormons were all at Provo, with the
exception Of about one hundred and fifty men, who
remained in Salt Lake City to take care Of the
crops stock and other property. Communication
between the Peace Commissioners and Brigham
Young was kept up daily, and the best and most
pescesble feeling seemed to prevail Secretary
Hartnett was on the most intimate and friendly
terms with the Secretary of Brigham, who is VIM.
H. Hooper, formerly a steamboat captain Of this
city and once the commander Of the old Alexander
Hamilton. Mr.. Hartnett was living in his house ct
Salt Lake. There is not a single woman IN Salt
Lake City, except the wife Of Gov. Cumming
The Mormons would not rent their houses in the
city and it was supposed that the troops would be
compelled TO camp near West Mountain which is
about twelve miles west Of the city.
Mr.. Laveille brings US the same prOclamations,
&c, issued the 18th June, which we believe have
already been published. Mr.. Lavaille met Harvey
on the 9th inst, at OFallon's Bluff, los miles west
Of Fort Kearney. He also met the expressman,
bearing the late cOuntermaudiug orders TO General
Harvey, about six miles This side Of Hsrneys camp.
Gen. Harvey had in company with him a great
Cheyenne Chief whom he intended to accompany
to Ash Hollow. for the purpose Of making peace

property protested, and the government has sup
ported his views and determined to close the Lega-
ton.
Still later official news has been received here that
the beseigng force at Guadalajara had been re.
pulsed and that the two commanders Of the federal
forces-Degolado and Zuazua-had commenced 10
march, the first towards C0lma and the last towards
San Luis POtosi Carsvsjal, With force OF three
hundred had Victoria for Zuls for the purpose
of attacking a convoy Of money on its way to Tam
uico. Col Sage's federal army had been defeated
in Ell Vale Maiz, with the loss of ammunition and
two pieces of artillery. VidaurTi had not moved
from Monterey. CARA had taken eight bars Of sill
vsr-eight thousand dollsrs-belonging TO the Eng
lsh Consul at MatamoTas which il is said had been
deposited in the Custom House pending law suit
There is 70 intention Of giving Gen. Robles, the
Mexican Minister, his passport, although Mr. For
syth be recalled, unless he should demand 1t, or the
Zuloags government, which he represents, should
fall.
1t is understood that the government, in view of
events Transporting the Pacific side Of the CONT
nent, and the necessity Of cheaper travel for our
citizens ere very DESTROYS that the Nicaragua Tran
sit route be opened. Should Joe White open It at
once, under the old Canal and Transit charter, no
doubt the administration will support him.
Mr. Reed our Minister in China, has forwarded a
lengthy communication to the State Department On
theFcoolie trade He had addressed circular to our
Consuls in China against it, stating that IN his be
lief it was illegal and certainly against the instincts
Of humanity. He had addressed also the Spanish
Consul to the same effect 1t does not appear Wha
course he had taken as to the British, who are en-
gagged most extensively in the trade. He attaches

description of the tarring and feathering Of citi>
zen of Kent county, Nd, on the ground of suspect
ed abolitiOnism and tsmpering with slaves. From
the social sending Of all the parties concerned the
tranaction Oceasioned no little excitement and re-
neWed bitterness Of feeling among both the friends
and foes Of the peculiar institution. On Saturday,
the 18th inst, a meeting nf Shareholders was held
at Cbestertown, Kent county, which was numerous
" attended by the leading meh of that vicinity
Judge Chambers on being called to the chair, said
that in default of statute law to the purpose it

their rights and resist to the last extremity every
attack upon them; secondly, whenever defence Of
became necessary, common cause, without
too nice regard for indiscretiOn ought 10 be made

WASHINGTON July 10, 185S.-Private letters re-
ceived by the last mail from Mexico, from high
sources, state that Mr.. OtWsy, the new British MIN
lister, had received directions from his government
to suspend relations with the ZulOags government,
unless better disposition evinced towards max
ing PREPARATION for the claims Of British subjects
This does not involve any action in relation the
forced subscription to the National Bank, as the
news of this decree had not reached England.
The same letters state that Lerdo de Tejada has
been compelled to take refuge from the persecution
of ZulOaga and his old enemies the clergy, with Mr.
Forsyth.
Vidaurri has written letter TO President Juarez,
at Vera Cruz saying that he will rest until the
liberal government Is firmly established in Mexico;
that he intends to fight his way to the capital and
ensure q triumphant entrance Of Senior Juarez and
his ministers.
A studous attempt is being made by some of your
city journals to misrepresent the plsitiOn of our
government in these Mexican questions. The opin
ion of the government is that the late DEGREES of
President ZulOsga, against which Mr.. Forsyth
protested, simply DEGREES enforcing subscrip-
ton TO the stock of national bank, and that it was
not tax in the true sense of the term. When taxes
are imposed no return is made to the taxpayer;
whereas in this instance, the contributor receives
stock in national bank in return for the eonribU-

Cleaning Cotton Seed.

An intelligent correspondent at Antwerp, writes
under date Of May 10Th, 1855 that machine for
cleansing cotton seed has lately been ineVented and
is now in operation in that city. From Two to three
tons of seed can be cleaned per day by machine
Of four horse power, with the assistance Of three
persons. The cotton surrounding the seeds taken
of and can be sold TO carpet manufacturers and
paper-makers at from thirty to fifty fracs the one
hundred kilogrammss After the oil is pressed out,
the cakes remaining can be sold for the same price
as other cakes Of Oleagnous seeds Inc cost Of the
machinery is said no. 10 be expensive. This Is an
important invention, and promises to be Of lnoacu
liable advantage to cotton washington
Union.
The above, from the Washington Union, may seem
to indicate n triumph Of Ingenuity IN overcoming
what has always been regarded as very dithcult OF
acc5mp hshmeut-the hulling of cotton seed. But
a more wonderful machine Is now, and has for
year, been in full operation, in the oil mill Of
Messrs. Wyman, Grant Co, Of this city. This
huller-an American iuyentiOu-With no more pow
er than is required for the Antwerp machine, and
with only two instead Of three persons, daily hulls
fifteen tons Of cotton seed and does the work per
