The Mormons have been unanimous IN their repre-
sensations that Cache Valley, which hes IN the heart
Of the Wasatch range, northeast from the Salt Lake,
able place for an encampment. The very urgency
with which they pressed the idea, cast suspicion on
the motives of their recommendation. There Is no
probability that the army will be located there. II
~ very difficult of access and although II abounds
in all the requisites for good Summer camp, the
Winters in Us DeghbOrhOOd are represented az un-
commonly severe.
Col Lorin Of the mounted rifemen wintered
some thousands Of animals there while on his pas
sage TO Oregon many years ago, and the result was
the loss Of large proportion OF the stock. While
Gen. Johnston Bear River he dispatched
Capt Newton of the engineer corps 10 make re-
Gonna ssnces in that vicinity, but i am not aware
what report was made by the Captain on his return.
At one time, in anticipation that il might, after all,
be selected for the campground, a remonstrance
was prepared for presentation &c the General, pro-
testing against the location of the army 10 any place
or places not speedily accessible to the settlements,
and especially to Sal, Lake City. This had been
signed by all the Gentle civilians present here, when
lie circulation stopped by the report that the
encampment will certainly not be made north OF
Ogden City.
Col Alexander is left in cOmmandl during the
Generals absence, aud on the 18th he marched the
army from the dirty, dusty church pasture on the
Jordan 10 camp about twenty miles southwark,
nearly half way to Provo. Judge Eckels remained
two days, during which every effort was made to
rent buy house in the city for him, but no Nor
would let without " counsel The only
would have been in the house OF Marshal Dotson,
which comprises two small rooms and pantry, III

which have fallen into Gentle hands are the Mar

house Of the same size, which the Cahfornlans,
Messrs. Brooke and CarksOn, who came here on
Col. Knney's business, succeeded in renting yes
terday. Neither is trade any more lively, nor have
the prices at the Globe fallen. 1t is hard to deter
mine whether this state of affairs IS more dlscredlt-
able than ludcrOus or more ludicrOus than dscred-
table. There are two large merchant trains parked
on the public square belonging to Messrs. Gilbert
d Gerrish and C. A. Perry 4 Co. They are full
of groceries and clothing and though every other
Mormon one meets is ia rags, and has perhaps not
tasted coffee tea sugar for six months, and would
walk barefoot ten miles for plug of tobacco, yet
these merchants cannot procure stores IN which to
open their goods for sale; and if they could, the
Mormons, naked and hungry though they might be,
would not buy of them without "hayiDg counsel,
which means, in plain English getting leave from
Bro. Brigham. The Church has made several
efforts to purchase portions of these soods-parti
culaIly the goods of Gilbert & Gerrsh-but with
cut avail. The merchants prefer to retail them
themselves, and il is for the advantage Of Tie bulk
