which had prevailed in the army on its march.
I With regard to the return Of the MormOns to
the northern settlements, he stated his desire
that nobody should move without his permis-
sion. The impression is that there will be
general movement from the south as soon as the
troops are definitely located. As it is, the great
'sState" road which leads to Lake Utah, and
which can be followed with the eye more than
twenty miles southwark from this city, has been
elouded with dust, both yesterday and to-day,
from the teams Of returning saints. It is notic-
able, however, that no families come with
these teams. | have observed at least thirty
of the wagons loaded with furniture, but only
one accompanied BY woman.
AMY NovENENTs-JUD6E EcKELs HoUsELEss.
Last Monday morning (the 2sth ult) Gen
Johnston started to examine Tuilla, Scull, Rush,
Cedar, and Yuab Vallies, with a view to the
| selection of an encampment- Col. Alexander
is left in command during the Generals absence
and on the 29th he marched the army from the
dirty dusty church pasture on the Jordan to a
camp about twenty miles southwark, nearly
half way TO Provo. Judge Eekels remained two
days, during which every effort was made to
rent or buy house in the city for him, but no
Mormon would let without " counsel" The
only accommodation which he could have pro-
cured would have been in the house of Marshal
Dotson, which comprises two small rooms and
a pantry, in which twenty-one persons are
sleeping nightly. So the Judge followed the
army southwark yesterday.
NORNoNs WONT RENT NOR Buy
Both Mormons and Gehtiles carry weapons
openly in the streets. Tmde between them is
still interdcted by the authorities of the church,
although the GlObe Restaurant, which is church
property, remains open to furnish Gentiles with
meals at So per day No Gentle can vet rent
a house in the city.
Bngham's return is not yet attended with
favorable effects on house rent The only two
buildings which have fallen into Gentle hands
are the Marshal's "mansion," already mention
ed and another house of the same size, which
the Californians, Messrs. Brooke and Clarks0n,
who came here on Col Kinney's busines, sue
ceeded in renting yesterday. Neither is trade
any more lively, nor have the prices at the Globe
fallen.
There are two large merchant trains parked
on the public square, belonging to Messrs. Gil
bert & Gerrish and c. A. Perry & Co. They
are full Of groceries and clothing, and though
every other Mormon one meets Is in rags, and
has perhaps not tasted coffee, tea or sugar for
six months, and could walk barefoot ten miles
for plug Of tobacco. yet these merchants can
not procure stores IN which to open their goods
for sale; and il they could, the Mormons, naked
and hungry though they might be. would not
buy Of them without having counsel" which
means, in plain English, getting leave from
Bro. Brigham. The Church has made several
efforts to purchase portions of these goods
particularly the goods of Gilbert & Gerrish-
but without avail. The merchants prefer 10
/ retail them themselves, and it is for the advan-
tage of the bulk of the population that they
should.
ANOTHER ARRTyAL-BARRIcADEs DOWN.
Last night, from dusk TO dawn, a string Of
wagons rolled into the city from the south
The whole First Presidency of the Church have
arrived. Move than thirty wagons am told
by those who were stirring early in the NOR
ming, discharged their rcontents-furniture, pro-
visions and women-at Bngham's alone. From
the airy lodgings which occupy could hear,
beside the rattle Of the wheels, the inressant
tapping of hammers all night long. The win
dOWs Of Brigham's offices and OF the front Of
his Lion House appeared entirely diseneumber-
ed OF their board barricades this morning. /

squares to-day, and through open doors aud
windows could see that the female population
of the city had been considerably augmented
within twenty -four hours Tonight, presume,
we shall have similar immigration.
INDIGNs-NoRxox BLEssISG-PUB. DOCS.
The Indians south of Provo have become very
troublesome during the last fortnight and com
mitted many depredations and some murders.-
1t is believed that their unruly disposition is at
tributable in part to the circulation among
them Of rumOr that Dr. Forney, the Superin-
tendent Of Indian Affairs, intends to abandon
the farm on Spanish Fork established and con-
Quoted formerly by Dr. Hart.
Dr. FoTney started for the farm from Salt
Lake City last Tuesday. On Wednesday he
tarned at Provo and held q singular eonversa-
tion with some Of the Saints. Among the par
ticipants in it was Heber C. Kimbal, who ad-
vaneed to the Doctors carriage and blessed
hun and Gov. Cumming and Col Kane, stating
that he had right to bless them " in the name
Of Israefs God" and that he should always
pray for them. l pray also for my enemies"
said he. +" Yes, said the Doctor, who IS an en-
thusiastie Episeopalian, " that's right that
shows o Christian spirit" "a pray that they
may all 60 to hell. :" was the conclusion of He
ber's sentence.
Twenty-six sacks of back mails, weighing
500 pounds, arrived from the east at the end
of last week They contained only old Patent
Office reports and COagressiORaI Globes under
