s JULY2, 1853.
Last night, from dusk to dawn, . string of
wagons rolled into the city from the south. The
whole Fnt Presidency of the Church have arrived.
More than thirty wagons, am told BY those who
were strriDs early in the morning, discharged their
contents-furniture, provisions and wonen-at
Bheham's al,ne. From the airy lodgings which
] occupy could hear, beside the rattle Of wheels,
The incesssnt tapping Of hammers al night loas.
The windows Of Bngh.ns Offices AID OF the front
Of bis Lion House appeared entirely disencumeered
Of their board barrcsdes this mOrriDg took
.,roIl around some Of the principal squares today,
and through open doors aud windows could see
that the femsle population Of the city had been
considerably augmented within twenty.four hours.
Tonight, / presume, We shall have similar lmmi-
grafton.
Contrary to anticipation, Gen. Johnston re-
turned TO his camp to-day, having limited his
reconnaissance 10 Tulla, Ru.h and Cedar Valleys.
II is regarded as certain that the army will 60 into
captonments in the latter. In the present unset
tied condition of affairs, it will probably be con-
.dtred unadyisable TO divide bis force, which, nov
that the re endorsements on the road are stopped,
will be reduced by the expiration Of the enlistment
of the volunteers, and by the return of COL Lorings
battalion TO New.MexcO, TO about ! 400 men. &C.
dar Valley is the most central valley 10 the Terri
tory, with reference to the settlements. 1t lies on
the east of Rush Valley lin which is the Military
Reserved and southeast from Tuilla Valley. 1t is
readily accessible to both of them well as TO the
great Valley of the Jordan, and it is about equl-
distant from Salt Lake City and Provo. 1t appears
now that Gov. Cumming while in the city
with Col. Kane, caused the Military Re
serve in Rush Valley to be resurveyed by Mr. Fox,
Mormon who is the Territorial Surveyor General,
and has been acting in the same capacity pro tenn.
for the United States since the seizure Of the effects
of Surveyor General Burr by Brigham Young. This
reserve was first laid out by Col. Steptoe, and
aiterward reserved by Gen. BUR when the public
survey Ofthat valley was made. Mr.. f0xs survey
differs in singular from those of his prede-
cessors. He has run his lines so as to exclude a
great part of the most valuable land in the valley
and throw it into the hands of MormOns, who will
claim to hold it under grants from the Territorial
Legislature. 1t is to be hoped that the army will
be so augmented by recruits and otherwise, before
Winter sets H. that different disposition OF it may
be possible. But no one can foretel what may hap
pen before Christmas. There is not Gentle in
the Territory who does not regard the renewal of the
rebellion of the contingencies OF the morrow.
The Indians south OF Provo have become very
troublesome during the last fortnight and committed
many depredations ard some murders. 1t is be-
lieved that their unruly disposition Is attributable
in part to the circulation among them OF rumor
that Dr. Forney the Superintendent of Indian AZ
fairs intends to abandon the farm on Spanish Fork
established and conducted formerly by DIR. Hart.
1t is due to the inhabitants in their neighborhOod
that they should be promptly checked and the Of
tenders arrested. Dr. FOrney started for the farm
from Salt Lake City last Tuesday. On "Wednesday
he tarried at Provo and held singular CONVERSE
ton with some of the Saints. Among the parucl-
psnts in it was Heber G. Kmbal who advanced to
the Doctors carriage and blessed him and Gov.
Cumming and COL Kane, stating that he had right
TO bless them :" in the name of Israels God, and
that he should always pray for them. - pray also
for nv enemies" said he. q" Yes, SAID the Doctor,
who is an enthusiastic EpscoPalan, p" that's right;
that shows Il Christian spirit" " l pray that they
may all 90 to hell" was the conclusion of Heber's
sentence.
Twenty. six sacks of back mails weighing $500
pounds, arrived from the East at the end OF last
week. They contained only old Patent Office re-
ports and Congressional Globes under the frank of
Mr.. BerDhisel. The cost of their transportation to
the Territory was just about $4,000.
Several large drOves of sheep have arrived from
New-Meaico, part of them belonging to Mexican
named OterO: the rest to Timothy GeOdale who
was one of Capt. Marcy's guides across the mount
aims last Winter. They have been driven on to the
amy.
am unaware what preparations If any, have
been made by the Mormons to celebrate the Fourth
of July Probably sermon will be preached on
that day by Brigham in the Tabernacle.
To my certain knowledge Brigham Young signed
lie name to an official paper, as late as the 10th OF
June, as Governor aud Superintendent OF Indian
Affairs
Together with MscNeI, whom | mentioned in
my letters to you last week, Col. Fabens, Of Mica
raguan nOtOriety, has been prisoner III the city
throughout the Winter. The facts IN his case are
briefly follows He was travelling across 10 Calf
fOrna on business connected with his Nicaraguan
project, and arrived at Salt Lake City on his way.
There lie remained some days, and at last leit for
the south Of the Territory, and stayed while at
Springville. He was arrested there upon suspi-
cfon Of being a spy. Being released from this
arrest he made an effort to strike eastward across
the mountains north of Salt Lake City to Fort
Bridger but was captured and carried back to the
city. AT the time of his capture, both he and his
companion (MacNeiD were reduced to great
distress by hunger and had boiled pair
OF buckskin pantaloons for food. faoens
was confined in the city in small
adobe close in my neigbOrhood l visited
the house few days ago, the gate being of its
hinges. 1t contained one small square room an
entry. and CELL the floor Of which was covered
with straw, and the window set with iron bars. A
bottle, desk and a rough bench constituted the
sole furniture of the establishment On the latter
were the squares of checker-boar marked with
ink, and the checkers were scattered around on
them, with which the guard of the prisoner had
amused themselves. MacNeil was taken to the Pen.
itentary and chained. 1t is needless to say that
neither lie nor Fabens entered the valley AS spies,
nor in any way in connection with the army. Col.
Fsbens intends TO make a written statement of his
case.
