mon war humbug, for nothing. The
news of the end Of the Saints Rebel
lion will be found under the telegraph
head. The original dispatch to the
Missouri Republican we find in that
paper of Saturday, as follows:
Especial Dispatch to the Republican,
BooNvILLE, May Is, '5S.
An Express arrived at Fort Leav-
enworth on the 18th inst, from Camp
Scott.
The Mormons had laid down their
arms.
Gov. Cumming, upon the invita-
ton of Brigham Young, had enter
ed Great Salt Lake City, without an
escort. HtgeH
Many Mormon men had gone to
the southern part of the Territory,
and the women and children were
preparing 10 follow them. sAs
w. M. WIBLING,
Clerk J. II. Lucas.
From this it will be seen that Brig
ham invited Gov. Cumming to enter
his capitol. Whether Brigham had
convenient a special revelation TO ex1
tend this invitation we do not yet
know. 1t is probable that DIR. Tho
mas L. Kanc's advice may have been
sufficient. a9z sa
The Missouri Republican comments
ing III the dispatch above says: -
"The news which we make public
this morning, Of the termination
Of the Mormon rebellion without
bloodshed, will be hailed with joy all
over the country. 1t has cost IL large
sum of money, and not a little suf-
fering on the part of the forces at
Camp Scott, in preparation to put
nn,>wn this rebellion; but it has shown
that tie Government is capable Of ex-
traordinar,- efforts, and Of Furnishing
INSTRUMENTATION ever upon its remo7
test frontier. The he Ts will, as o.
as authenticated. put a stop to lnr-
Their military movements in TINT d.
rection. Supplies may be needed,
and will probably be sent forward,
for the subsistence of the troops now
in Utah Territory, but all other pre-
parations will be suspended, and the
troops which have been concentrated
at Fort Leavenworth and Jefferson
Barracks, will again he distributed
to their old posts. Vast expendi-
lures have been made in getting
ready for this expedition, but the sup
plies Of provisions, munitions of war,
horses and animals, will not be lost to
the government, and a tremendous
draft upon the treasury will be stop
ped. The early termination Of this
expedition will make a material diff
ference in ell MI. Secretary Cobb's es-
timation for the demands upon the
treasury for a year to come. 1t will
make also, a very material difference
in the calculations by individuals of
their profits under contracts with the
Government, but they will have 10
submit to this disappointment. 'el ace.
We take it as certain, also, that the
President will not avail himself Of
The power given TO him to call into
service the three regiments of volun-
teers authorized by the law OF the
present Congress, and there will be a
saving at once, of $4,500,000. These
curtailments in the anticipated de-
mand upon the Treasury came most
approximately, and will make, in tho
aggregate, a difference in the years
expenditures, of at least fifteen mil
lions of do'llrs."
Thus according to the Republican,
the go vernment has covered itself
with glory, by throwing away Ten
million OF dollars, aud marching an
army into wintry mountains to suffer
from cold and hunger. simply to show
that ii was capable of losing that sum
Of money, and that its soldiers could
endure much suffering without per-
ishing. The Republicans logic would
compel it to regard Napoleon's march
to Moscow, and the retreat therefrom,
a magnificent stroke of enlightened
policy. That expedition showed that
Napoleon's Government was "capa-
bic of extraordinary efforts" AS for
the difference in Secretary Cobb's
war estimates, it will cost rs much TO
re- distribute the army now collected
in the far West through the country
as it would 10 send it TO Utah. But
there is one advantage that the Black
Despotism that manages the Admin
iStration has gal eed in addition TO the
patronage il disposed of in the shape
of army contracts, without which the
pro-slavery party would have been
crushed IN the Lecompion struggle.
