GENOA, U. T., June 26, 1859.
The Salt Lake mail arrived to-day al
halfpast twelve o'clock, WITH the mail and
FIVE through passengers, Capt. Cooper
one OF the passengers, reports Hon. Horace
Greeley and Major Chorpenning in the vi.
cinity of Fort Bigler, en- route for Salt Lake
City and California.
Abut three hundred Pixies Peak emi.
grants arrived at the city on their way to
California, in desperate and destitute
condition.
There was considerable excitement OF
Salt Lake on the l4th inst, occasioned BY
Capt Dick Andersou's company Of dra-
gooAs, who had been north on survey,
camping outside Of the city about four
miles, on what is represented us barren,
open field, so barren that full forage was
! given 10 the horses. They had got their
tents pitched, when Mormon came into
camp and requested Capt. Anderson to re-
move his camp, as it was pitched on his
wheat field. The captain refused, and the
man growing insolent, was promptly placed
under guard. When the news reached the
city all MOrmondom was iu a tremor. Gov.
Cumming was appealed to, and promptly
undertook to set the man free, writing
note to Capt. Anderson, which did not
have the desired effect. At eleven O'Clock.
at night the city was filled with armed
horsemen, under the immediate control Of
Lieut.. Gen. Daniel II. Wells, the second
digntary in the Church, and Brig. Gen.
Ferguson. Every Gentle in the city
buckIed on his battery to assist Capt. An
derson, who, with one hundred dragons
wide awake, lay short distance from the
city. Capt. Anderson had been informed
that the gallopers we're composed of the
Nauvoo Legion. Things continued in this
condition until about three A. NJ, when
Judge Sinclair, upon an affidavit being
fled, issued a writ of hdbeus corpus for the
prisoner, and placed it in the hands Of
Marshal Dobson, who repaired to the
camp, into whose hands the prisoner was
promptly delivered by Capt. Anderson.
Report says the reason given by the
Mormons for having bodies Of armed horse
men,on The streets was that they expected
the Governor to call on the Nauvoo Le-
gion as posse, and wanted to be ready.
The last move Of the Mormons was to
sue out an attachment aud eaplds for
Capt. A. The augnpt failed before The
judges. Two o.het companies under com
mand Of Major Lindes arrived on the
morning OF tile l4ih aud camped near the
place where the difficulty occurred. Capt.
A. bad moved on towards Camp Floyd.
Major Lindes' troops are intended as an
escort to emigrAnts who contemplate IeaY-
ing the Territory. There are about thirty
apostat Mormon families with them, and
between three and four hundred more will
await them about one hundred miles north
Large numbers have also crossed the
mountains going east Judge Eckles was
expected to arrive on the 18th lust.
About two thousand Pixies Peakers arc
reported on their way through here for Cali.
fornia. Some trouble Is anticipated when
they arrive at this city in their destitute
condition. Several merchant trains had
arrived within week previous to the de-
parturo Of the mail, Eastern stages max.
ing quick time.
Kirk Anderson was to leave for Califor-
MIA on the next stage.
