FURTHER FROM UTAH.

We have received by way of California,
files of the Deseret News to the 18th Of
January inclusive, not as late, however, as
already received direct.
1t is reported that Brigham Young has
been instigating the Oregon Indians to
rebel. He has offered to pay them certain
sum per head for every horse or mule they
may capture and bring to him. A regular
express is continually running between Salt
Lake city and Oregon Territory.
The San Diego Herald gives currency to
a report that the Mormons had actually
commenced moving towards Northern
Mexico.
The tone of the Mormon sermons |eliver-
ed in the Tabernacle is nearly the same as
before, except that Brigham Young seems
to use less violent language. The other
preachers continue to preach against the
United States just as they did four months
ago.
HoM1cIDE.-On the evening of the 9th
instant, in this place, an ARRAY took place
between Ii. II. Brady aud John Knowles, IL
which the latter received mortal WOUND
from a gun, and expired in short time
Brady made no effort to escape, AMI says h
killed him in self defence. The homicid'
was committed at the house of Brady. w
understand that Brady was under the i'm
preston that Knowles was too intimat
with his (Brady's) wife.

IMPORTANT SUIT

A friend in Arson (says the Standard)
informs us that ut the recent term of the
Superior Court for that county, Judge
Manly presiding, suit was tried wherein

tho plaintiffs, Messrs. Ashe, Osborne. and
Hargrave; for defendants, Messrs Strange
Gaines, Dargan and McCorkle. All made
able speeches, and the jury, after being out

u The Douglasites and free-soliites In

SMALL Pox.-We have to repeat our
admonition of week ago, that our Physl-
clans procure vaccine matter, and our people
90 into a general vaccination.
In another column we give our Charlotte
friends the benefit of their newspaper
disclaimer, while we are called on to state
that another case has occurred there under
the name of varioloid, the subject being the
NEGRO who accompanied 1.-THE case" GU: OF
town: he had been inoculated, and thus the
mild form. We do not wish to renew the
roseola discussion-but we know that there
are, or have been, cases of small poX between
Charlotte and Concord.
YorkriUe Chronicle.
The above is entirely wrong, and we
might be justified in using harsher term
in denial considering the insinuatlon OF the
:. Chronicle " that we have not reported
tho true state of the health of this town
Last week we stated that there was no new
case of the small poz-the authorities OF
Charlotte stated that there were nome ahe
the Physicians of Charlotte stated tina
there was no further appearance OF the dlS
ease and no danger of any. We renew TIT
same statement this week. Yet the ~ ork
Vile Chronicle" 80 miles off, says ther
has been another case.
The nurse alluded to above had the SINAI
pox in Mexico and it is not likely that
would have "raridloid" now.
Neither have there been any cases
small pox between this place and Concore
The Chronicle should be more careful
its statements.
