From Camp Scott.

ST. LoCIs, April 3.
The Utah mail which left Camp
Scott March /, has arrived. The
troops were in fine health, and were
anxiously waiting the determination OF
the commander to proceed to Sat Lake.
Col Johnston had a regular effective
force Of one thousand eight hundred
men and ono thousand animals, in
good condition, together with a large
volunteer force; and the general i'm
preston was, that he would not wait
for reinforcements before making an
attack. Communication with Salt
Lake City was entirely prohibited. and
little or nothing Was known of the
Mormons TO resist the entrance OF Il e
troops. .Ioln>ton's dispatches will
be forwarded Immediately to Wash

Advices from the Utah Expedition
have been receive! to the 10th of Feb.
The health OF the troops continues
good. The march upon Salt Lake
would probably BE commenced about
the both of May. The grass upon the
plains had Tar advanced. Several han
bred recruits will have reached Fort
Leavenworth previons to the 29th Of
April. Preparations are making at
the latter place for the early forwarding
of reinfoIcemcntS. Col. IIuiIman's
command had been net on its route,
four hundred miles west of Fort Leav-
cnworth. Col. Johnston's supplies
would not last longer than May; but
there were at Fort Laramie sufficient
supplies for four months for three
thousand men. an, a train would be
dispatched from that point to Fort

PIrH OF WAsAINGTos CoRREsPoNDEEcE.
We clip as follows from the Ii patches OF
the 81 to the Tribune:
The Administrator has been exerting ev-
cry influence to-day to induce a sufficient
number OF members to change to bring about
a conference, that being the last desperate
reliance to- carry Lecompton with a partial
modification. Mr.. Clancy Jones and others
were specially active, but have procured no
visible impression yet. Much capital has
already been fruiilessly squandered.
All indications warrant the belief that the
Opposition will stand solid and firm. The
Anti -Lecompton Democrats conferred this
morning, and no signs of faltering, except
in a single case, were manifested. The
Southern Americans and the Republicans
are uBfinching.
When the question Of disagreement with
the Senate comes up Mr.. Montgomery will
move to adhere, and Mr.. Stephens immedi-
ately after 10 recede. The latter motion
viii be put first, by parliamentary usage,
and the result upon that will virtually seitle
the controversy. That once decided, other
motions will follow Of course and the death
hnell of L%ecompton will be sounded.
1t is uncertain when the Kansas bill will
come up again in the House. All attempts
to get Mr.. Ste phens TO agree upon "a time
have failed. He would only Indicate Tues
day as the probable day for taking it up
The Democrats talk as if it would yet pass;
but that is nonsense. The House will ad-
here to its amendment.
