Gen. Harvey was met this side of Ash
Hollow, by the mail company, and the
Express, with orders to change tie des-
t~ination of the troops, six miles behind
him. Gen. Harvey was proceeding to
Ash Hollow to hold a treaty with the In
dams.
The following is a letter written to
the St. Louis Republican:
SALT LAKE, June 20, 1858.
Nothing new has occurred here of in
terest since last mail. The Mormons re-
main at Provost, not wishing to airing
their families near the soldier boys. They
are living there, the majority at least in
tents, whilst their comfortable houses in
this city remain vacant, with all the doors
and windows boarded up. None of the
g~entiles can obtain house room either for
dwellings or for store purposes. This Is
particularly hard on the merchants, who
have brought out large stocks Of goods.
No reason is assigned by the Mormons
for this dog-in-the-manger policy, except,
as they say, they want first to see what
the army will do and where il will locate.
As yet, none have been able to procure
sleeping apartments except the Governor,
Secretary, Marshal and Commissioners,
and even most of them had for awhile
to sleep in their wagons. Many of the
merchants arrived in the city to-day
Tomorrow the army wiIlmarch in. They
are now encamped a few miles out. To-
morrow will lie lis twelfth day out from
Fort Bridger.
Hockaday's weekly mail arrived here
last night, having made the trip within
nineteen days, and brought dates from
St. Louis OF 29th ult.
The New York Herald, Times and
Tribune are represented here by report
ers. Some Of. their statements which
appear in the papers are not strictly cor
rector instance, 1t IS reported that Gov.
Cumming represented on leaving for his
first trip to this city, hat he would not
take an escort, and had he not had an
understanding with Brigham Young
whereby he should not be molested. and
that he did have both an understanding
and an escort. The last assertion IS IN
true. The Governor had neither an in
%vitation or an understanding with Brig
am Young. Col. Kane used his utmost
r endeavors to dissuade him from so haz-
, ardou5 an undertaking, yet 90 he would,
saying that he had been directed by the
President to 60, and that he would Try it.
and only after this expression did Col.
Kane make up his mind to return to Salt
Lake City. The first meeting of the
! Mormons thereafter indicated anything
, but Il quiet reception to Governor Cum
, ming, but he perSevered, and really made
=, peace, if such has been made, with Just
such conditions as was agreed upon hy
the Commissioners. Another account Of
about fifty Mormons having been killed
by the Indians IS incorrect, though about
four weeks ago three white persons were
killed by them.
