difficulty with the MurlEons. They are all, not
only under arms, but openly arrayed, and are
camped out in regular military order, in several
localities. We are in receipt Of news from all
directions, confirming this fact; and the knowl-
edge has all come upon us at once
In the first place, Mr.. MOgo former deputy
L. $. Surveyor returned last Sunday from San
Pete Valley, and brought US the news that the
MOrmOns there were under arms, and that par
ties of them were going out from there daily, no
one knew where. They were paying the high
est prices for all kinds Of lirc-arms-sOmc Of
them offering or paying from $50 to $75 for pis-
| tolls.
The day FLOWING Mr.. MogO's return, We re-
ccived letter from DIR. Hurt, Tex Indian Agent
| who is now at the Indian Farm on Spanish Fork,
informing us that for four nights in succession,
a company Of men, numbering so persons, had
left the town Of Spanish Fork at midnight No
one knew their destination. Some said thy
were coming up to this city, to resist the advance
Of the troops, which, it was rumored, Judge
Sinclair intended to bring here with him, when
he held another term of his Court Others said,
that they were going to follow up Judge Cradle
baugh, who went south to the scene Of the
Mountain Meadows massacre, with an escort Of
three companies Of soldiers, for the purpose Of
cutting him of, if he attempted to make any
arrest
The same day that we received DIR. Hurts
letter, Maj. Brooke [Of California; came down
from Box Elder and the northern settlements,
and brought US the news from there, that the
people were under arms, awaiting the receipt Of
further orders from this city. On the same day,
Mr.. Dotson, U. s. Marshal, was informed pri-
vately by an apoState Mormon that whilst he
was out hunting cattle on the mountain near the
Black Rock, west Of the city, on the Lake shore,
he suddenly came upon four men, near the sum-
init Of an isolated peak which, standing out from
the main range, is distinctly visible along the
whole Lake shore, north and west from this city.
These men, after enjOining sccresy upon him,
told him they were there watching for the ad-
vauce Of any body Of troops upon the city from
that direction, when they were to set fire to a
large pile Of wood which was placed on the sum
nit OF the peak, the smoke Of which by day or
the fire by night would be signal to the peo
pic Of the settlements north TO march towards
this city, and to the people Of the city to arm
themselves and prepare for fight.
At about this same time, the first Of last week,
two Of the mail men, who were out herdng the
mail company's animals on tho side Of the noun
tain, just north Of Brigham's Canon, IA mile
only from the cityl found two large iron cannons
concealed in q ravine on the mOunt'in side.
They were covered with oak brush, so that
no one would notice them, unless they happened,
as in this instance, to stumble upon them. On
leaving the spot, the mail boys met four men
near the cannons, on little hill near the ravine
who had evidently been watching them. The
next day returned to the city from camp, and
at Mr.. Dotson's request went with him to look
for the cannon. We found the place where they
had been, but the cannons were gone. We saw
