Very respectfully yours,

Rocky Mountain ExPressman.
End Of The Utah Message from The
President.

On the 10th of June, the following highly
important message was received by the
House of Representatives from the Presi-
dent of the United States:
To The Senate and House Of Representatives.
transmit the copy Of dispatch from
Gov Cumming to the Secretary of State,
dated at Great Salt Lake City, on the 22d
of May, and received at the Department
on yesterday. From this there is reason
to believe that our difficulties with the Ter
ritory Of Utah have terminated, aud the
reign of the Constitution and laws restored.
1 congratulate you on this auspicious event.
l lose no time in communicating this in
formation, and in expressing the opinion
that there will be no occasion to mako any
appropriations for the purpose Of calling
into service the two regiments OF volun-
teers authorized by the act Of Congress,
approved on the 7th April last, " for the
purpose Of quieting disturbances in the
Territory Of Utah, for the protection of
supply and emigrant trains, and the sup
preston ofIndian hostilities on the frontier" ]"
l am the more gratilied at this satisfac-
tory intelligence from Utah, because it will
afford some relief to the Treasury at time
demanding from us the strictest economy,
and when the question which now arises
upon every appropriation is, whether it be
Of character so important and urgent as
to brook no delay, and to justify and re-
quire loan, and most probably tax upon
the people to raise the money necessary for
its payment.
In regard to the regiment of volunteers
authorized by the same act Of Congress to
be called into service for the defense Of the
frontier Of Texas against Indian hostilities,
l desire to leave this question to Congress,
observing at the same time that, in my
opinion, this State can be defended for the
present by the regular troops, which have
not been withdrawn from its limits.

GOVERNOR cUMMING's DIsPAFcHes-sTATE OF
THINGS IN SALT LAKE CITY.
Gov. Cummings most important letter
is the one addressed to Secretary Cass, da-
ted May ID. He says that he left Camp
Scott on the 9th Of April en- route to Salt
Lake City, accompanied by Col. Kane, his
guide aud two servants. Ia passing
through the settlements no was greeted
with such respectful attentions as were due
to the Executive authority Of the United
States in the Territory Near Warm
Springs, at the line dividing Great Salt
from Davis county, he was honored with a
formal and respectful reception by many
gentlemen, including the Mayor and mu-
nicipal officers Of the city, and by them
escorted to lodgings previously prepared
for him, the Mayor occupying seat by his
side in his carriage. Brigham Young paid
him visit as soon he was sufficiently re-
covered from the fatigues Of bis journey to
receive company. In a subsequent inter
view, Young evinced willingness to afford
him every facility be might require for the
efficient performance Of his administrative
duties. Young's course in this respect,
Gov. Cumming fancied, met with the ap-
proval Of the majority of the Salt Lake
community. The Territorial seal, together
with other property, was rendered to Gov.
Cumming by Wm. II. Hooper, late acting
Secretary Of the Territory. The records
and library are unimpaired, At every
point Gov. Cumming was recognized as
the Governor Of Utah, and received with
q military salute. There were illumina-
tions in his honor
Having heard numerous complaints,
Gov. Cumming caused a public notice to
be posted, signifying bis readiness to relieve
those who deemed themselves aggrieved by
being illegally restrained Of their liberty,
and assuring protection to all persons. He
kept his Office open at all hours Of the day
aud night, and registered ffty-six men,
thirty-three women and seVenty-one chill
dren, as desirous Of bis protection, and
evincing a disposition of proceeding to the
United States. A large majority of these
