GREAT SALT LAKE CITY, Aug 3, 1858.
The army in Utah, under commaDd of
Brigadier- q General Johnston. entered this
Valley On Saturday; the 26th ult. 1t was
about 81 IN the morning when the right of
the advance column emerged from the west
of the Wasatch Mountains, known as Emil
grafton Canon. aud q, gan to spread its long
line along tho tortuous road down the
bench towards the city. The day was
perfectly clear, and the whole line of march
could be distinctly seen as the troops tTailed
over the gentle slope from the mountain foot
to the river bottom, presenting the finest pos
sible view which could he had Of an army in
motion. Gcu. Johuston had issued an order
on the evening preceding his entrance to the
city, commanding the enforcement of the
strictest dIscipll while passing thrau-h the
city, and ordering the Instant arrest of every
man who should leave the column upon any
preteuoe whatever. The object Of this order
was achieved, and the army presented an ex-
ample of the most perfect decorum, neither
by word or deed manifesting the least symp-
toms Of the i'll will which it WIS we'll known
was felt towards The people who had kept
them freezing on Green River dariug = long
and comfortless winter
The line Of the army. as it trail2d into the
city. was at least ten miles long. and when
the head OF Tie column had advanced to the
temporary camping ground west Of the Jor-
dan river, flowing through the valley bottom
we could look from the generals tent and see
the glLstcuing bayonets and the snowy wagon
covers of lie rear still defiing out from the
mountains The scene was magnificent and
cheering to Gentle eyes, but exceedingly
humiliatimg to the few Mormons who wit
messed it-men who had frequently prophe-
cied in the name Of Isracls Cod that the
army should never enter the Valley, and
whose private conversation and public speech
es for months past have been full Of brave
declarations Of iheIr power and determination
10 that the prophecy was fulfilled, It 5
due to them to remark here, however. that
they still maintain their ability to have ex-
clu:cd the army, and they declare they
would have done had volunteers been seat
;ustaal of ''rc ,;ulays' or If the Peace Com
| tDissioucrs Lad not come and mad promises
. which they choose l. accept Is con li;i0us Of
/ their forbearance.
! The army, as I have already said, camp-l
on the Jotdan, spreading their tents aaJ
Wagons for i mile or more along It's banks.
! GA Monday, the 28th ult., Gen. Johl s,ou
: started out with q Board e army officers, tc
examine the country. with z view 10 seiec;ia :
sites FOR the military posts he has to establish
in the Territory. You are already aware
that Cache Valley has been urged upon Ais
! attention by tie people here, ana i, WIS frs
. supposed that be would establish Z 9 winter
quarters there. Further iuE-r-a4;iy.s. hsyy-
ever, has satisfied him that although that
valley has al Abundance Of fine gas S. water
and timber, !; IS too ble4k and cold for tL5
comfortable quartsring of the army during
thc winter sc. e.san-ies:d being 20 far r
the Valley to command il as realty as e
deems important to the public interests. Iht
probability is. therefore, that Gen. JohnstoI
will not s-lect Cache Valley, unless 4 suisa
BE locality cannot be found elsewhere
Tie purpose Of the Reconnaissance upo1
which he started OF Monday last, was to a.
cec:ain, by personal inspection. what is til
character Of uovi.le, Rush. Skull aud Ccda
Valleys, lying TO the west OF syu,i. Of Grcs
Salt Lake. He was accompanied by Ii
Adjutaut. Major Porter Lieutenan.-C Colons
Smith. Cap; Marcy and Capt. Ncw.on, an,
, other officers Of the army. and by numbe
: of civilians. including Major Ben McCul'ocl
David \ Burr former Deputy Surveyor
the Territory, and Capt. j. NJ Harbin
, CaIiforna. ali OF whom are more or less f.
! miliar with the countries to be visited. I'll

upou Col. Alexander, of the TeuIh Iufantr
under whose orders the troops moved q
Tuesday, to Brig hams Canon, twelve nil

c purpose Of obtaining the necessary feed f

being quite insufficient. The army will pf

" although every foot Of land i'll the Terrific
