the number OF deaths from ''apOplexy is, sun

STRANGE CoNDUCr OF Gov. CUNNING AT UTAH-
Ertrdct from Prirate Letter to a Gentleman of st.
Lonts.-Greot Sat Lake City, June 90, lS5S-Y GU
Will have heard how our corpulent Governor has
been 'Steptoed" by the Mormons. He seems to me
to be alost insane. He takes pains to quarrel with
every Gentle within his reach, from Gen John
ston, the Commissioners and Judge Eckes down
to your humble servant; and to affiliate with the
worst cut-throats in the whole Mormon commun-
ty. He is alternating the only true friends he has
the only persons on whom he can expect to lean
when he finds that he has been fooled by Brother
Brigham.
The very table on which am writing has on it
evidence of the rascality of the Mormons in respect
to the mail. am scrawling this to you in the
post office. Directly in front of me is pile of let
tiers, all OF which have been opened by steaminr
them until the gum on the envelopes ceased to stick
or by cutting open the ends of the envelopes and
sticking them carefully together again. They call
the present condition of affairs E'harmonv:' or at
least the Governor calls it so, but there is not
Gentle in the city who does not sleep with a re
volver under his pillow
The vanguard of the army is expected to arrive
tomorrow, and then we shall breathe freer. If
Gen: Johnston had the supreme civil power of the
territory in his hands, as he has the military. we
might have durable peace. As it is, this patch
