the fact that Jehu CLANCY Jones, whom the

WHAT OUR ARMY IS DONG IN UTAH.-A
very interesting communication to the Miss
ouri Republican, under this head, has been
published in that paper. 1t appears that our
army, which is maintained at Camp Floyd at
a cost of about three millions of dollars per
year, makes splendid market for the produce
Of the Saints, and is filling their pockets with
U. S. gold, while they are quite as ill-disposed
to be good citizens as they ever were, and, if
possible, more obstinate, stupid and bigoted
than before Mr.. Buchanan's military demon
stration. The U. S. Judges find it impossible
to enforce the laws, and propose to leave the
Territory in dispute, dcspairing of maintaining
the dignity Of the Court, or preserving the
honor Of the country. The sole effect, thus
far, of the Mormon Expedition is in the
expenditure of near ten millions of dollars,
among the contractors and the Mormon
''rebcls," and.the consequent lamcntable cry
from the Heads of Departments at this time
for money to carry on the Government.

1t is for the Fishing Bounties in Maine, but
against them in Alabama. 1t fillibusters in
Louisiana, though it denounces fllibusters in
Michigan. In Ohio, it assumes to stand on
the Cincinnati Platform, but in Virginia it
plants itself on the Resolutions of '9S, and in
Carolina it will agree to nothing short of the
Charleston Resolutions of 1860, reserving the
right to differ even from them, if it don't like
them. All these warning factions claim to be
a single party, because they have name in

common, unless it be a proclivity everywhere
to keep borrowing all they can get, and to
keep spending all they borrow.--Alany
