UTAH SURvEYs.-We have before us a map of the
United States surveys in Utah Territory, by David
ii. Burr, Surveyor General, and confess our aston
ishment at their extent. From north to south they
comprise twenty-six township ranges extending
from range twelve, south, to range fourteen north
of Great Salt Lake City, a distance of one hun
dred and fitty-sx miles. Their distance east and
west is foFtyeight miles, and includes RANCE east
and range to inclusive, west of the meridian Of
Great Salt Lake City. The tract is bounded on
the east by lofty ridge called the Wahsatch NOM
tains, immediately at the western base of which is
situated Great Salt Lake City, The Lake itself eX-
tends nearly to the base of the mountains.
In the southern portion of the surved tract is
body OF water some twenty eight miles long and
sixteen wide, called Utah Lake. Jordan river flows
from this lake, and after pursuing a nortbwardy
course for about forty miles discharges its waters
into Great Salt Lake. 1t is on the eastern banks of
this river, and at distance of ten miles from its
mouth, that Salt Lake City has been built and it
apparently occupies the entire width of the plateau
between the river and the Wahsatch mountains.
South of Salt Lake, on the tract SURVEYED are
the Tuilla and Rush valleys, Valley of the Jordan
and Cedar, Tintic and Yonab valleys. North ofthe
Lake are the Cache, Bear River, Malade, Blue
Springs and Hansel Springs valleys. These valleys
are all of considerable extent, and from the chart
before they appear to be well supplied with water
courses. Between them are mountain ridges, which
seem to ntersect the country in every direction.
Judging from its appearance on the map, this
country is peculiarly adapted for the MormOns un-
der their present circumstances Its mountain fast
nesses are numerous, ana almost lmpregnabe; and
in its valleys there are not only many places where
small force could surprise and successfully enoao
one much superior in numbers, but it seems 10 rs
that there are few places in which small force
if attacked could not quickly secure an advan-
tage of position over their assailants and thus
successfully resist them. There is a remarkable rn
semblance between this Jordan river and that of
Palestine Both have their source in lakes and
empty into lakes though the lakes of the Holy Land
are called seas The course of both is straight that
of the Old World being from north to south. and
this from south to north. This is the only notable
feature of dissimilarity. The winter quarters Of
Col Johnston and his army is within this tract
- Wash Star.
