The following dispatch appears in the Philadel-
phla papers of yesterday:
LEAvENwoRrH, April 22.-Advices from Utah,
ceived by the Overland Mail, represent affairs in
IN the Territory as wearing threatening aspect,
and seem clearly to argue the impossblity of the
federal courts administering justice. Judge Cra-
dlebaugh discharged the Grand Jury, they refusing
to find any bills, and they using every means to
screen the parties accused of murder.
The court for the parishes of Potter and Forbes
was also compelled to discharge the prisoners in
custody.
Judge Cradlebaugh, in discharging the Grand
and Traverse Juries, charged the Mormons with
obstructing the officers of the court, suppress
ing testimony, and refusing to make provision for
the confinement and maintenance of the prisoners.
Owing to the excited state of the popular feeling
about one thousand of the troops were moved from
Camp Floyd, and encamped near Provo.
Governor Cumming had issued a proclamation,
taking ground with the Mormon sentiment. 1t
is not statad whether he demanded the withdraw
al of the troops from Provo, but the action laid
him open to the charge of completely with the Nor
mon theOcracy.
There is much bad feeling between the troops
and the Mormons, though the former stationed at
Provo behaved with remarkable forbearance. A
collision is, however, imminent.
ST. LOUIS, April 25.-The Utah correspondent of
the Republican, writing about the affairs of the ter
ritory, says that things in a condition
than ever before since the advent of the army
The feeling has reached a eliminating point, land we
on the eve of open hostilities. There is diff
| ference between Gen. Johnston and Gov. Cum
| ming, and an open division and rupture between
the Executive and Judicial authorities
ST. Louis, April 26.-The Salt Lake Valley Tan,
received by the mail, contains series of letters
| giving the proceedings of Judge Cradebaugh's
| Court at Provo, and explains to some extent the
difficulties and disturbances in the territory. The
| misunderstanding between Governor Cumming and
| Gen. Johnston seems to have grown out of the
tusal of the latter to withdraw the troops from
Provo, sent there under requistion of the Court,
| dence.
Judge Cradlebaugh had passed severe structures
on Governor Cummings proclamation (Which has
not been received here) characterizing it infor-
NAL, and evidently designed to exasperate the peo-
pie against the troops. to obstruct the course of
justice and excite insubordination in the army
He also says that, instead of the presence of the
troops tending to terrify the inhabitants and ntim-
idae the witnesses, the jurors and parties testifying
in behalf of the prosecution have been compelled to
seek the protection of the troops against the threats
and iDtmidations of the very inhabitants said to be
| so terrified.
Judge Cradlebaugh, sitting merely as a COM
hitting magistrate, would go to Camp Floyd the
| following week, to continue his Investigations
| Testimony has been ELECTED duplicating several
bishops, and the civil authorities of the territory in
murders at various times, all Of whom have fled to
escape arrest. -Four of the Grand Jurors dis
charged by Judge Cradlebangh have also fed.
Cedar City, and several other towns in the vcini-
| ty of the Meadows Mountain massacre, are almost
| depopulated.
| The Valley train also states that force of about
1000 Indians have been mustered in that neiphbor-
hood, headed by white man, who expresses de-
termination to prevent the arrest of any in
that neighborhood.
Judge Cradelbaugh emphaticaly denies that the
| Grand Jury protested against their discharge as
stated by the Deseret Netcs.
Lieut.. Pendleton G. Watmough, of the United
States Navy has sent his resignation to Secretary
Toucey, and it has been accepted by President Blu
chanan.
