the confirmation of Gov. Wright of Indiana as
Minister to Berlin, partly because of his Temper

The ostensible ground Of opposition will be his
un6tness for office.

not publish communicating accounts of severe
losses and sufferings on the part OF the troops in

1t is determined that Gen. Scott shall go to Cali
fornia on the 9Th of February, but not supposed
to lead new division of the army, or to organize
basis of operations there. Senator Gwin and 9TH
ers urged the stepupOn him with the argument that
his presence would operate as means Of paci6ca-
ton and of preparation in the contingency Of the
Presidents declaring Utah in rebellion, according to
the ideas now entertained; in which case the en-
bodiment of the militia would be authorized without
the action of Congress
This movement does not affect the plan of the
campaign at ALL The whole force in Kansas will
move in the Spring, whenever the grass is sufficient
to sustain the animals, the heavy trains starting
probably early in April, and others at the end of
that month. The expectation here is that it will
reach Salt Lake City by the middle of June. 1t
would have been there now but for Gov. Walkers
urgent requison for the troops for use in Kansas.

result of the conflict.

tons for the army is reported in the House. 1t is

Utah and maintaining the force now in Kansas.
