LATE R UTAH.-A dese
enworth, May 14th, states thatch dated Leav-
Utah is unofficial, but aapriVat the news from
ed by Col. Rice, at t. ate letter receiv-
~eorroborates the
statement. The genera Ce5sor Of the report
is universally credited at LaHenworth. Gov.
Cummings is represented to nave entered Salt
Lake City on the 1st of April. The Army
at Camp Scott was in readiness for immedi-
ate action in case of an emergency.
New York, May IA despatch from St.
Louis, says the Republican, has advices from
Utah of the same tenor of those yesterday from
Fort L~eavenworth, with the additional fact,
that the Mormons had laid down their arms.
Gov. Cummings, by invitation of Brigham
Young, had entered Salt Lake, without an
escort. Many of the Mormons have gone to
the Southern part Of the territory, and the
women and children were preparing 70 fol-
low them.
DEATH OF GEN. PERsIFER F. SMITH.-The
papers contain the announcement of the death
of Gen. Percifer F. Smith, at Leavenworth.
His remains were to leave Leavenworth for
the East. Gen. Harvey succeeds to the COM
mand Of the Expedition.
BATTLE OF THE ELEMENTs.-On Saturday
evening last, about Al P. NJ, the quiet of our
usually peace-loving community was most
suddenly and strikingly d~issipated by a ire
mendous hail-storm, which swept over us in
its rapid and furious career like the incarna-
ton of desolating wrath.
Scarcely a house has escaped injury some
count their loss of w~indow-glass by hundreds.
The Foundry suffered immensely in this re-
spect. The front windows of the Baptist
Church, part of them ofstained glass, are en-.
tirely riddled, and one side of the PresbYteri.
an Church is in the same shattered condition.
Gardens and fruit trees show the disastrous
effects of the storm, and a walk down Main
street would make one suppose that Autumn
had strewed the earth with fallen leaves, anC
the shot and shell of an invading army haC
bombarded almost every dwelling.
We hear that Falmouth also was visited by
the storm, and hail fell in great abundance
with the same destructive consequences.

MOVEMENTS OF BREADsTUFFs.-The rush O
breadstuffs towards tidesWater compared Will
last year, is very strong. The receipts o
-four and wheat at Buffalo, Oswego and Og
l d~ensburg, N. Y, this year, are ia, 175 bar
l rels in excess of the same time last year. Thi
is an excess of -four exceeding the entire ex
ports of that article from New York this yea
nearly 800, 1000 barrels. At Chicago, whenc
such large supplies nave been drawn this sea
q son, compared with last, the stock of whea
on the 9Th instant, was nearly double wha
it was on the 9th of May, 1857.
GREAT EXPOSURE IN WIscoNsIN-OFFIc1A
. CoRRUPTIoN.-We find in the Milwaukee
News a synopsis of the report of the Con
mittee of the Wisconsin Senate upon tn
question of the amounts expended during tn
session of the Legislature of 1856, to secur
the passage of the bill apportioning the land
y granted by the United States to Wisconsi
for railroad purposes among the several roads
The great effort was to get a portion of tn
lands for the milwaukee and La Cross raj
roads. According to the report, all who W
ted for the land grant directly or indirectl
received bonds or stock valued at from S.
900 to $25, 900. The total amounts paid al
c said to have been as follows:
: Governor of State, $50, 900 Governor
private secretary, $50, 600; State Officers
$40, 900 Supreme Court, 81, 900 10 Stat
/ Senators, 5000, 900 sc Assembiymen, 1886
c 900; Legislative clerks, $4,000; editor
S and others, 1921, 900. Grand total, $3.50
900. i
r This amount of bonds was given to secul
the passage of the bill, and it will strike til
public very strongly that it must be a prof
able thing to hold offce-in Wisconsin,
e These bonds, however, are worth little {
nothing now, as the present managers
the company repudiate them.
