ton, with the Gentiles now in Utah.
l think it is much to be regretted that
the policy of our Government officials
here has from the first been such as
to subserve Brigham Young's views
and to play into his hands in this mat
ter. The troops have been kept as far
away from the masses of the Mormon
population as practicable, and the in
tercourse between the army and the
population of the Territory has been
of the most limited character.
ff CAMP FLoYD, U. T. Dec. 3.
Brigham Young has not vet appeared
in Court, nor has the Marshal, so far as
/ have been able to learn, yet succeeded
in serving a subpoena upon him. 1t
appears to be generally understood
now, however, upon what grounds /
have not been able to ascertain, that
whenever it is intimated to him that
his presence is required, he will appear
and take a swar." His attendance
will be needed next Monday, in the suit
for false imprisonment brought by Nc
Neil, who was put in Jail and in irons
for attempting to leave the Valley last
winter without passport. Col. Fa-
bens, ,McNeil's companion in misfor-
tune, disappeared some two months
ago very mysteriously, and his most
intimate friends here do not know what
has become of him.
1t having been intimated to General
Johnston that Judge Sinclair was under
the impression that troops would not
be sent into Salt Lake City except upon
requisition from the Governor, the
General addressed letter to the Judge
assuring him that troops would be sent
in at once upon an intimation from the
Judge himself that their presence was
needed. To provide for any such con-
tingency, the horses belonging to
Phelps light battery, which had been
turned over to the Quartermaster and
sent to Rush Valley to winter, have
been brought back and the battery re-
mounted. h
Winter has set in here in good earn
est. Valleys and mountains all around
are covered with snow, presenting as
dreary a winter landscape as the eye
could rest on. The thermometer yes
terday was as low as II deg. below
zero, and the wind from the north was
sharper than the edge of razor.
CAMP FLOYD, q. T., Dec. A.
A matter touching the great prophet
himself, has not yet been disposed of,
to come to its final issue. An effort
has been made by the U. S. Marshal
to serve upon him paper requiring
his presence at Court, and his "body
guard" consistingof one hundred men,
interposed and prevented the officer
from fulfilling his duty in the matter.
Since that, Major Brooke, the new
Deputy Marshal, has succeeded in
serving the writ. BY this, the ancien,
prophecy, that "no Gentle should ever
bring Brigham into Court" appears to
have been placed in somewhat doubt
full light. Whether Brigham is ulti
mately to be brought before the Court
either to answer for himself or to give
evidence in relation to others, remains
to be developed. Two to one is taken
that he will. But all points to the pos
sible employment of troops, in which
case it is not doubted that Col. Smith,
the man said to be most of all disliked
by the Mormons, will have show with
the gallant Tenth Infantry. Neither
is it doubted that Col. Smith will acquit
himself in a manner to justify both his
former brilliant reputation, and all the
hatred and fears of the peculiar "peo-
ple."
