The President of the United States, on
| Thursday, transmitted to both Houses Of Con-
gress the subjoined Message, communicating, on
the authority of an accompanying despatch from
Gov. Cumming, the agreeable intelligence that
Our difficulties Observation-Disclosures papuationsas
Utah have, as it is believed, received q pacific
termination.
To the Senate and House Of Representatives:
l transmit copy Of a despatch from Gov.
Cumming to the Secretary oil State, dated at
Great Salt Lake City on the Cd Of May, and
received at the Department Of State on yester-
day. From this there is reason to believe that
our difficulties with the Territory of Utah have
terminated, and the reign Of the Constitution
and the Laws has been restored. congratulate
you on this suspicious event.
7 lose no time in communicating this informa-
tion and in expressing the opinion that there
will be no occasion to make any appropriation
for the purpose of calling into service the two
regiments Of volunteers authorized by the act
of Congress approved on the Ith of April, for
the purpose Of quellng disturbances in the Ter
ritory of Utah, for the protection and supply OF
emigrant trains, and the suppression OF Indian
hostilitics on the frontiers.
am more gratitied at this satisfactory intel
licence from Utah because it will afford some
relief to the Treasury, at time demanding
from Us the stricteSt economy, and the question
which now arises upon every new appropriation
is. whether it be Of character so important
and urgent as to brook of no delay, and TO
Justify and require loan and most probably a
tax upon the peuple to raise tue money nccrssa-
ry for its payment.
In regard to the regiment Of volunteers all
thorized by the act of Congress to be called into
service for the defence Of the frontiers OF Texas
i against Indian hostlities, desire to leave this
question to Congress, observing at the same
| time that, in my opinion, the State can be de-
Tended for the present by the regular troops,
which have not yet been withdrawn from its
limits. JAMES BUCHANAN.
The accompanying despatch from Gov. Cum
ming, is of great length, and gives full and
satisfactory account of his reception among the
Mormons; but states that the people of the
Territory arc removing from every part of it to-
wards athe South," aud have determined to
destroy their houses and abandon the country.
In the letter to Secretary Cass, Gov. Cum
ming, says he left the camp on the 9th Of April,
en- route to Salt Lake City, accompanied by Col.
Kane as his guide, and two servants. In pas
sing through the settlements, he was greeted
with such respectful attentions as were due to
tbe representative of tie Executive authority
of the United States in o Territory. Near the
Warm Springs, at a line dividing the Great Salt
Lake from Davis county, he was honored with
a formal and respectful reception by many gen.
tlemen, including the Mayor and municipal
officers of the city, and by them escorted to
lodgings previously prepared, the Mayor occu-
pyinc seat at his side i'll the carriage.
Ex-Governor Young paid him visit OF cere,
mony as soon as he was sufficiently relieved
from the fatigue of his journey to receive COM
pany. In subsequent interview, Ex-Governor
Young eynced willingness to afford him every
facility he might require for the efficient perfor'
nance of his administrative duties. Brigham
Young's course, in this respect, Governor Cum.
ming fancied, met with the entire approval OF s
majority Of the Salt Lake community.
The territorial seal, with other public proper.
tv. was rendered to Governor Cumming by
William II. Hooper, the acting Secretary of the
Territory The records and library remained
unimpaired. Governor Cumming entered upon
the performance of his official duty. With feel
ing of profound regret, he learned that the
agent, Mr.. Hurt, was charged with having Incl
ted to acts of hostility, the Indians in the Vim
IA Valley. The information came from Mr.
Hooper. He hoped that Mr.. Hurt could vindi
cate himself from the charges, yet they de-
manded an investigation.
Governor Cumming had informed Genera
johnson that he should probably be compelled
to make the requisition for sufficient force tt
chastise the Indians.
AT every point he was recognized as the Gov
ernor of Utah and received with a military sa
lnte, the houses being illuminated in his honor
Having heard numerous complaints, Gov. Cum
ming caused public notice to be posted, signify
