PLAoERv1LLE, April Is.
The Salt Lake mail arrived this morning
at half past four.
Dr. Chorpening came passenger and imme-
diately proceeded to San Francisco
The unhappy and exciting condition of af-
fairs at Salt Lake had not changed for the
better since last advices
On march Goth, Gov. Cummings issued
proclamation announcing his solemn protest
against the present position Of the troops at
Provo He asserts that the presence of the
troops about Judge Cradlebaughs Court
has tendency to terrify the inhabitants and
and intimdate witnesses. The Valley Tan
says the proclamation has had the influence
to encourage the Mormons to resist the exc
cution of the laws. 1t also says of Governor
Cummings, "IIe has joined himself heart and
hand to Brigham Young and his bishops, to
endeavor even by force, perhaps, to prevent
the investigation by the Court of the dreadful
and inhuman butcherios perpetrated by the
Mormons. In justification of the collection
Of the troops at Provo, six important wit
DeSes against the various crimes committed
by the Mormons, made affidavit stating their
knowledge of certain crimes sought to be
investigated, and assert that they consider
their lives in danger from threats made
against them by the Mormons, unless pro-
tected by the u S. troops"
The latest from Provo announces that
Judge Cradlebaugh adjourns his conrt from
day to day, meantime sitting as committing
magistrate
The troops have been moved to Wilkins,
three miles from Provo, to be ready for any
emergency.
One night the sentinels on duty at the
guard tent were stoned by parties behind
out houses. Orders have been given to the
soldiers to fire if the stoning was repeated.
Arumor was current that Governor Cum
mings would call out the militia to resist the
troops
On the 20th of March, Deputy Marshal
Stone with civil posse of five and Com
pany of I'd Dragons proceeded to Spring
field in search of parties accused of partici-
pating in the murder of the Parishes. None
of the offenders could be found and the fact
was reported that about half of the male in
habitants had fled.
The connection of the church authorities
with the black catalogue Of crimes is fully es
tablished by testimony of Durfee and Bar
tholomew, and the announcement that they
would turn States evidence has caused
stampede of the guilty. The fight of so ma
nv pillars Of the church has caused general
spirit of dissatisfaction towards that insttu
ton among its lesser devotoes.
The last mail from California arrived at
Salt Lake sixty hours ahead of schedule time,
bringing Uia California the latest Eastern
news
Tie Valley Tan CON. ins an Official copy of
