WAsHISGroS, June 5.
The Sec'y of War to. day received tele-
graphic dispatch from Gen. Harvey, dated
Leavenworth, in which he says the express
has arrived and reports Gov. Cumming driv-
en- out Of Salt Lake City.
The dispatch does not obtain full credenoe
for the reason that Gen. Harvey merely re-
peats report, and does not eommuni cate il
rs from direct intelligence to himself.
IL is believed as probable that Gov. Cum
ming has returned to Camp Scott, for it is
known to the Government that when he left
there, contrary to the advice Of Col. John.
latsn, he promised 10 be baok in about two
weeks.
