CASS
In the letter to Secretary Cass, Gov. Cumming
says he left the camp the 5th of April, en- route
to Salt Lake City, accompanied by Colonel Kane
as his guide, and two servants In passing through
the settlements, he greeted with such respect
ful attentions due to the representative of
the Executive authority of the United States in
territory. Near the warm springs, at line divd-
ing the great Salt Lake from Davis county. he was
honored with a formal and respectful reception by
many gentlemen, including the Mayor and munich
pal officers of the city, and by them escorted to
! lodgings previously prepared, the Mayor occu-
pying Il seat at his side in the carriage. Ex-
Gov. Young paid him a visit of ceremony as soon as
he was sufficiently relieved from the fatigues of his
Journey, to receive company. In subsequent in
terview, Ex-Governor Y Dung eYinced willingness
to afford him every facility he might require for the
efficient performance ofhs administrative Duties
Brigham Young course in this respect, Governor
Cumming tanced, met with the entire approval of
majority of the Salt Lake community. The terri
was tender
ed to Gov. Cumming by VIM. H. Hooper, the late
acting secretary of the territory. The records and
! library remain unimpaired. Governor Cumming
entered upon the performance of his official duty.
With feelings of profound regret he learned that
the agent, Mr.. Hart, was charged with having in
cited to acts of hostility the Indians in the Vinta
Valley. The information came from Mr.. Hooper
He hoped that Mr.. Hart could vindicate himself
from the charges, yet they demand investigation
Governor Cumming had informed Gen. johnson
that he should probably be compelled to make a
requistion for sufficient force to chastise the In
dams.
At every point be recognized as the Govern
or Of Utah, and received with a military salute
the houses being Illuminated in his honor.
Having heard numerous complaints, Governor
Cumming caused public notice to be posted signify
ing his readiness to relieve those who deemed them
selves aggreved by being legally restrained of their
liberty, and assuring the protection of all persons
lie kept his Office open at all hours, night and day,
and registered ffty-siX men, thirty-three women;
and seventyone children, desrous of his protec-
ton, and eyincng their disposition of proceeding
to the United States A large majority of these
people are of English BIRTH and were promised as
siStance to be removed.
Governor Cumming says that his visit to the Tab
ernaclG will never be forgotten. There was between
three and four thousand persons assembled for the
purpose of public worship. There the most
profound silence when he appeared. Brigham
Young introduced him the Governor of Utah,
and Governor Cumming addressed them for half an
hour, telling them that it his purpose to uphold

obedience to all lawful authority, assuring them of
his determination to administer equal and exact JUS
tice etc. He was listened to respectfully. He in
vited response; and several spoke, referring, in
cited tones, to the murder of Joseph Smith to the
services rendered by the Mormon battalion in the
Mexican war, and recapituated long chapter of
their wrongs. The tumult fearfully increased, but
an appeal from Brigham Young restored calmness.
Several afterward expressed regret at their be-
havOr.
Governor Cumming proceeds to describe the exo-
dus of the MOrmOns. The people, including the in
habtants of Salt Lake, in the northern part of the
territory, are leaving, the roads everywhere
filled with wagons loaded with provisions and
household furniture, the women and children fol-
lowing after without shoes or hats, driving their
hocks they know not where.
They seemed not only content, but cheerful. 1t
is the will of the Lord, they say, and they rejoice
to change the comforts of home for the trials of
the wilderness Their ultimate destination was
not fixed upon. Going South seemed to be suffi-
cient to designate the place, but from the private
remarks of Brigham Young in the tabernacle
Governor Cumming thinks that they going to
/ Sonora.
Brigham Young Kimba and most Of the infu-
entail men had left their commodous mansions to
swell the ranks of the emigrants. The masses eve
/ rywhere announced to Gov. Cumming that the
torch will be applied to every house, indiscrimi-
! nately, throughout the country, as soon as the
| troops attempt to cross the mountains. The peo-
pie, though scattered, every would be taken
| to rally them. Some of the Mormons are vet in
arms, and the Governor speaks of the mischief they
are capable ofrendering guerillas. The way for
the emigrants to the Pacific is open.
Governor Cumming saws that he would leave for
the south on the Sd of May. He SAYS that he will
restrain all the proceedings of the military for the
present, and until he shall receive additional in
! structions from the President.
