MORE TROUBLE AT SALT LAKE.
The Mormon Rebellion Rediyiyus.

The Mormon Rebellion Redivivus.
From the tenor of recent adviees from
Salt Lake City, it appears that the Utah DIFF
fculties arc very far from being settled. In
fact, a resort to arms is not at all impossi-
able, in settlement of existing difficulties
1t appears that the Judicial authorities, sup
ported by the strong arm of the army, on one
side, and Gov. Cummings and the Mormon,
on the other, are in open collision. A cor
respondent of the st. Louis Republican,
writing from Salt Lake City, under date OF
March Goth, says great excitement exists
there, and that collision may hourly be
expected. The cause of this excitement may
be stated in few words. Judge Cradle
baugh, has been holding Court at Provo,
and eyinced a determination to bring the
thieves, robbers, and murderers, that have
long infested that region, to condign punish
ment. The Grand Jury found no indictments
except az inst two Indians. The Judges Sc
verely reprimanded them, and then dis
charged them. Several Saints have peached,
and been forced to fly to camp to save their
lives. 1t is said their testimony will impl-
cate many of the church leaders, hence the
excitement. For the protection Of prisoners,
witnesses, etc., nine companies Of Infantry,
one of dragons and two sections of battery,
have been planted ut the mouth Of Provo
Canon. The correspondence alluded to,
closes thus:
The United States Marshal arrived here
Yesterday with warrants for the arrest of
men. They are important witnesses in the
" Mountain Meadow" massacre, where one
hundred and twenty nine men, women and
children s. went under" in 1856. Two OF
these men rived here day before yesterday
and went to the house of Secretary lIartnctt
for protection, where they have been ever
since locked up and under guard. They fear
that their lives are in danger. The United
States Marshal had warrants for them, and
they will have to leave to- day in his charge.
Should rescue be attempted there will be
muss' certain, as they say they will turn
States evidence.
The second letter bears date at " Salt Lax
City, April >, 1852" and its frs. paragraph
contains this startling announcement:
"There is great excitement existing in
this Territory, and things are in worse
condition. even, than they erer hare been
before or after the Gdrent Of the army. In
plain words, and to give you some idea of
of affairs here, TIE FEELING HAS REACHED
THE CULMlXATING POINT, AND We ARE on TIE
VERY EVE OF HosrlLITIEs.
The course Of the T. S. Judges, Sinclair
and Crad!ebaugh, is pronounced irm and
patriotic, while the approximations of the
Mormons have caused them to DO all in their
power to prevent justice being done.
Provo, the great theatre Of strife, is forty
miles from the Holy City. The Bishop Of
the church having fed under dread Of being
brought to Punishment. Every day things
are assuming more alarming attitude
The Governor has demanded the withdraw
al Of the troops, whom upon the contrary,
it has been deemed advisable to remove
three miles nearer the scene Of trouble
There is a wide difference between General
j Johnston and GOV. Cummings. and an open
rupture between the latter and the Judges.
The famous (morc properly infamou>) Nuu-
zoo Legion are preparing for emergencies.
From u proof slip Of the Valley Tan, enco5-
e / in Mr.. Anlrrson's letters, We find the fol-
owing items.
On the 2,71th the Marshal arrived at Provo
from Great Salt Lake City, bringing two of
the principals in the murder Of the Parishes
and To!tcc, viz: Abram nurfco and Joseph
They state that Earl, the leader in th2
murder, represented to them that their lives
were in danger, and prevailed on them to nc
company him to Salt Lake City at night, by
Il circvitous route along the base of the
mountains. tBiG Cottonwood Greek, Earl's
